Chapter 190 - 173: Seriously Injured Retreat

Ai Ci clutched the person in his arms, screaming in a panic, "Ruo Xu, get here now and escort the City Lord away!"

Su Mo gestured, and a volley of arrows flew out instantly!

If any one of those poisoned arrows struck either Jiang Wu or Ai Ci, their lives would hang by a thread.

Jin Tong also mercilessly flung a dagger from his fingertips. ’Is this it?’ he thought. ’Am I finally going to watch her die before I do?’

He was curious to see if the world would really be destroyed after Jiang Wu’s death, just as she had claimed.

Even if it was true, he still wanted to watch her die before his very eyes today!

Ai Ci held Jiang Wu’s true form tightly. Amidst the suffocating killing intent, Jiang Wu saw the faintly glowing Tie Pattern on his shoulder.

In all her many reincarnations, this was the first time someone had successfully formed a Tie with her.

She heard him speak as if he had made up his mind, "City Lord, I will accompany you into this abyss of eternal damnation."

Jiang Wu’s gaze wavered, and a fleeting emotion stirred in her heart.

...

"Brainless fool, so willing to rush to his own death!"

Jin Tong cursed, his eyes narrowed, and sent another dagger flying!

Ai Ci blocked that dagger! It struck him in the back, near his heart!

At that critical moment, Jiang Wu beat her wings, violently shoving the man away!

A blinding red light then enveloped her. Enduring the pain, she plucked the Reversed Feather from her wing. The most dazzling of all her Feathers quickly transformed into a sea of red mist at her fingertips.

Jiang Wu gritted her teeth against the gut-wrenching pain and used her Inner Strength to push the dense fog outwards. Coughing immediately erupted all around! Everyone felt dizzy, their Inner Strength seemingly vanishing in an instant.

Su Mo swayed and nearly collapsed, but Mo Xiao managed to catch her in time.

Mo Xiao tried to use his Inner Strength to raise his bow, but it was no use!

Standing in the sea of red mist, Jiang Wu pulled a sharp arrow from her own body and flung it back toward Su Mo.

Mo Xiao’s brow furrowed deeply, and he instinctively moved to block the arrow for Su Mo.

Su Mo gritted her teeth and forced out the last shred of her Totem’s energy, pulling Mo Xiao aside with her.

The sharp arrow shot through her disheveled, flying hair, grazed her slender neck, and finally landed elsewhere!

Xuan Qing darted over like a flash of lightning, but he was a step too late. As he reached out, all he could catch was a lock of her dark hair, severed by the sharp weapon.

That one arrow had exhausted Jiang Wu’s strength. She didn’t have much energy left to continue the fight.

She grabbed Ai Ci from the ground and quickly flew away. "Retreat! Everyone, retreat!"

"Su Mo, the next time we meet will be for our final battle! Don’t even think about escaping from me alive again!"

Su Mo, holding on with her last ounce of willpower, sneered, "A defeated foe has no right to challenge me. Even if there is a next time, you’ll be the one dying at my hands!"

Jiang Wu’s voice was chilling. "You want to kill me? You’re not worthy! In these endless reincarnations, I am the one true Immortal. People like you, who don’t belong to this world, will eventually be sent back by me. You are merely a visitor here. You have no right to change anything!"

After Jiang Wu retreated, the surroundings suddenly fell quiet.

Before returning to the Dragon Clan Tribe, Su Mo frowned at Jin Tong in the distance and tossed him a pack of medicine. "You can’t die just yet."

As she turned away, she heard Jin Tong say calmly, "It seems Jiang Wu’s weakness isn’t that Reversed Feather after all."

Su Mo paused but didn’t answer him.

’I’m not blind, of course I know that! Not only is it not her weakness, it seems to be one of her weapons.’

’But even if Jiang Wu’s weakness isn’t the Reversed Feather, it must be related to her true form. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so reluctant to reveal it.’

After returning to the Dragon Clan Tribe, Su Mo didn’t fall into a coma as she had last time. She first gave everyone instructions for their medicine.

After this battle, Xuan Wei and Xuan Shuang also arrived to rendezvous with the Dragon Clan.

Xuan Wei was currently busy directing people to treat the wounded soldiers.

Fei Yan brought medicine to treat Su Mo’s wound, and the others crowded in behind him.

Long Yan and Xuan Qing were standing at the door.

Su Mo sat to one side, looking at the crowd in the room. She asked wearily, "What, you’re all going to watch me get my wound treated now?"

Yue Ying frowned at the wound on her shoulder. "Wife, we’re just worried about you! I’m staying in your room to take care of you tonight."

Su Mo closed her eyes. "Are you sure you want to ’take care’ of me, and not just make me die faster?"

...

Yue Ying’s brow furrowed. "I just want to purely take care of you tonight, I swear!"

Su Mo rubbed her throbbing temples. "Your vows are less sincere than a wooden fish at a temple..."

The people in the room let out a soft laugh.
