Chapter 189 - 173: Gravely Wounded Retreat

Jin Tong shot toward Jiang Wu, moving even faster than Su Mo!

He was clearly after the Reversed Feather. At Jiang Wu’s side, Ai Ci reacted instantly, drawing her longsword and rallying her men to form a defensive line!

After transforming into her true form, Jiang Wu found it surprisingly difficult to change back into her human body. However, even in her true form, her combat strength was not to be underestimated.

Every beat of her wings was like an exploding sun, her Feathers erupting with countless golden rays that pricked the eyes like millions of tiny needles. Lower-Level Beastmen instantly felt their Divine Souls tremble as the world spun around them.

In the moment Su Mo was dazed, Jiang Wu shot into the air with a beat of her wings and flew straight for her.

Her talons, like golden hooks, came straight for her.

Su Mo snapped back to her senses and cracked her long whip. Jiang Wu flinched and swiftly dodged away!

But Jiang Wu quickly attacked again. Amidst the flurry of attacks, Su Mo was still unable to land a precise strike on her Reversed Feather. Instead, the effects of the drug on her own body were growing stronger!

Among the affected Beast Husbands, Mo Xiao had the highest Level, so he was the first to notice the change in Su Mo’s stamina. He shot in front of Su Mo in an instant!

On instinct, Fei Yan flew over as well.

Su Mo frowned. "Attack her Reversed Feather! That must be her weak spot!"

Mo Xiao and Fei Yan exchanged a look and immediately engaged Jiang Wu’s true form in battle.

Jin Tong was still locked in combat with Ai Ci. He refused to be caught in another cycle of reincarnation with someone like Jiang Wu, and he wanted absolutely nothing more to do with her!

A monstrous hatred churned in his eyes. This time, even if it meant his soul would be scattered to the winds, he would end this cursed relationship with his own hands! He would no longer be a puppet manipulated by fate!

After defeating the men around Ai Ci, Jin Tong forced her back with a single strike of his sword.

Then he shot straight for Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu’s pupils glowed with an eerie light in the darkness. ’She truly never expected Jin Tong would actually dare to turn on her!’

’Did he think Su Mo would defeat her after she revealed her true form?’

’How naive!’

’Fine then, he can die with Su Mo!’

Jiang Wu dove, her crimson pupils glowing with a bizarre, bloodthirsty light. As her giant wings passed overhead, everyone felt as if their insides were on fire.

She summoned the wisp of Jin Tong’s Heart Soul and crushed it in her palm. Jin Tong felt a suffocating pain grip his chest.

The next moment, he lost control and transformed into his true form, a large white cat, falling unexpectedly at Su Mo’s feet.

Su Mo looked down and met Jin Tong’s deep blue eyes, understanding instantly.

Fighting back the wave of discomfort in her chest, she swiftly flung the dagger from her fingertips!

The dagger grazed Jiang Wu’s wing. As she cried out in pain, Su Mo sprinkled some medicinal powder on the cat on the ground. Jin Tong instantly transformed back into his human form!

He shot out like a bolt of lightning, catching the dagger as it flew past Jiang Wu’s wing. Reversing his grip, he used his Inner Strength to hurl Su Mo’s dagger back at Jiang Wu!

At the same time, Su Mo threw another dagger.

Behind her, Long Yan drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and fired it at the very same moment!

Jiang Wu was already struggling to dodge both Su Mo’s and Jin Tong’s attacks. Though she managed to evade both of them, she failed to dodge Long Yan’s arrow!

The arrow struck her in the abdomen!

The arrow was poisoned. The Feathers around the wound visibly dulled.

"City Lord!"

Ai Ci flew over anxiously from a short distance away and quickly fed her a Detoxification Pill.

Seizing the opportunity, Su Mo launched another dagger. This one, empowered by Mo Xiao’s Inner Strength and imbued with the power of Su Mo’s Totem, shot straight for Jiang Wu!

By the time Jiang Wu reacted, the deadly projectile was already upon her. Her bewitching, crimson eyes narrowed in shock.

In that critical moment, she instinctively reached for Ai Ci, intending to use her as a shield!

Jin Tong secretly channeled his power and, with a shove, pushed Ai Ci out of the way!

"City Lord!"

Amid Ai Ci’s panicked scream, Jiang Wu was left completely exposed.

Although she used her Inner Strength to repel the dagger, its impact was still immense. After being struck, she lost control of her true form and began to fall!

"Wife!"

Shaking off Jin Tong, Ai Ci flew over and caught the falling Jiang Wu!

Su Mo’s eyes darkened. "Fire! Aim for her Reversed Feather!"

At that moment, Su Mo was like a Hell Asura, her entire being radiating a chilling killing intent.

Behind her, Mo Xiao, Fei Yan, Yue Ying, Cang Lan, Ye Yuan, Xuan Qing, and Long Yan all stood with icy gazes, their combined presence radiating an aura powerful enough to slay gods and buddhas.

As one, the arrows at their fingertips took aim at Jiang Wu in the distance.

Jin Tong, too, held a dagger between his fingers, ready to throw it at Jiang Wu at a moment’s notice.
