Chapter 214 - 183: Severing the Fate Line (Part 2)

"Wife!"

The moment Mo Xiao lunged forward, the dagger grazed Su Mo’s arm, leaving a jarring streak of blood.

The wound wasn’t fatal, but the drug on the dagger was potent and activated quickly upon contact with blood.

At the very moment the streak of blood appeared on Su Mo, Mo Xiao felt his Inner Strength become restricted.

The others fared no better; the moment their power faltered, the enemy pressed their advantage!

"Miss Su!"

Though Xuan Qing and Long Yan were unaffected, their concentration wavered. At a time like this, the slightest lapse would give the enemy an opening.

Su Mo frowned and collected herself, once again lashing out with her long whip.

"Keep Jiang Wu’s Beast Husbands occupied," she ordered Mo Xiao. "Leave her to me!"

She could feel that Jiang Wu’s aura was already wavering. She had to force out Jiang Wu’s true form as soon as possible! Otherwise, with her current stamina, she probably couldn’t hold on for much longer.

Jiang Wu naturally sensed Su Mo’s intention. A violent glint appeared in her eyes, and an intense, murderous aura radiated from her.

She didn’t want to waste any more time with Su Mo either. She had to eliminate her opponent quickly!

With a raise of her hand, ten thousand Feathers materialized from thin air, instantly transforming into sharp blades that shot toward Su Mo.

Ye Yuan, at the very front, instinctively lunged to cover Su Mo.

In the nick of time, Su Mo summoned the Heart Protection Scale that Ye Yuan had given her, using her Totem Power to catalyze its energy and hurl it at the storm of bladed Feathers.

The thousands of sharp blades created by Jiang Wu collided with the shield of light formed by the Heart Protection Scale, erupting in a dazzling flash.

With a loud BANG, the sky full of bladed Feathers shattered. The Heart Protection Scale turned into a white streak of light and instantly vanished into Ye Yuan’s chest!

Just as Su Mo was about to lash out with her whip again, she saw Jiang Wu twist her fingers. In an instant, a thick red fog rose around her!

Su Mo frowned. "Hold your breath! It’s poison!"

But it was too late. The poisonous gas had already seeped through their pores and was rushing through their bloodstreams toward their hearts!

Su Mo staggered uncontrollably. Jiang Wu’s poison seemed to have been upgraded. Not only did it drain one’s strength, but it also caused hallucinations!

A mechanical voice echoed in Su Mo’s mind: "Danger level for Host has exceeded the threshold. Activating protective measures automatically!"

Soon, a layer of white light enveloped Su Mo.

Little Nine urged, "Quick, take a Detoxification Pill!"

Su Mo quickly pulled out the pouch at her waist and threw it to Fei Yan and Mo Xiao beside her.

After she swallowed the Detoxification Pill in her hand, she saw the poisonous fog above them instantly condense into countless red swords! It looked as if they could pierce through the Totem’s protective shield and shoot toward them at any moment!

As Su Mo gathered her Totem Inner Power, Mo Xiao and the others also instantly gathered their Inner Strength to fight against that force.

Jiang Wu’s piercing shriek rang in their ears. It was a blood-curdling cry, like King Yan coming to claim their souls—inescapable, drilling deep into one’s very being. Some of the lower-Level Beastmen couldn’t resist her Inner Strength; they instantly started bleeding from all seven orifices, wailing incessantly. Others lost their minds and began to kill each other.

"Host, it’s the Soul Capturing Spell! This must be Jiang Wu’s Ultimate Kill! You’re protected by the Totem, so you’re not as affected," Little Nine said.

Su Mo frowned and looked at the people around her. Judging from the expressions on Mo Xiao and the others, they had expended a great deal of stamina to resist this wave of Jiang Wu’s Soul Capturing Spell.

This battle had gone on for so long that everyone’s stamina was at its limit.

’We can’t go on like this. It’s time to end this!’

Su Mo frowned and asked Little Nine, "She can actually use her Ultimate Kill without revealing her true form?"

"She must be out of options to resort to this final, indiscriminate trump card attack. An Ultimate Kill used without revealing her true form is much less effective. However, even at this level of effectiveness, it’s not easy for us to handle in our current state."

Su Mo frowned. ’Jiang Wu wants to exhaust everyone’s Inner Strength and then go in for the kill!’

Another wave of Jiang Wu’s Soul Capturing Spell quickly followed.

The surrounding wails of agony grew even more horrifying. Amidst the painful cries, Jiang Wu revealed a satisfied smile.

"You’re no match for me, Su Mo. I can kill you as easily as flipping my hand!"

Su Mo tightened her grip on her whip and chuckled softly. "Dream on. You’ve already used your Ultimate Kill; you have no trump cards left! Jiang Wu, this will be your final reincarnation!"

Using her Totem Power, she leaped towards Jiang Wu again. After several clashes, she threw a handful of medicinal powder at her opponent!

Although Jiang Wu was already on guard, she still inhaled a small amount.

Her body began to heat up, and the urge within her to transform into her true form grew stronger. She had no choice but to summon her Compass again to stabilize her aura.

The moment the Compass appeared in her palm, Su Mo seized the opportunity and flung a dagger from her fingertips. Wrapped in Totem Power, the dagger shot straight for the Compass in Jiang Wu’s hand.

’Little Nine once said that the daggers from the System Space are incomparably sharp and can cut through anything. I wonder if it can sever the fate lines on the Life Plate in Jiang Wu’s hand—the ones connecting me to my men!’

By the time Jiang Wu reacted, Su Mo’s dagger had already pierced the Star Disc.

A burst of shattered golden light flared, blinding for an instant. A gash was cut across the disc’s face. The intricate life tracks on its surface fell into disarray for a moment, but it soon began to operate on its own again, forcibly sealing the crack!

When the golden light faded, Su Mo looked up again.

Jiang Wu also looked instinctively. ’How is this possible! Once the fate lines on the Star Disc are formed, they can’t be dissipated! How could Su Mo sever them with a single strike?!’

Little Nine exclaimed excitedly, "Host, you did it!"

Su Mo secretly sighed in relief. ’With one less constraint, my chances of winning will increase!’

Mo Xiao and the others’ brows furrowed slightly. Almost at the same time as Su Mo raised the Beast Skin Bow in her hand, they leaped up and rushed towards Jiang Wu.

However, their current stamina was limited by Jiang Wu’s poison. Their moves were no longer as sharp as before, and they were all forcing themselves to fight on with their last ounce of strength!

The remaining lower-Level Beastmen had long since exhausted their Inner Strength resisting Jiang Wu’s two waves of the Soul Capturing Spell. At this point, they no longer had the Heart Power to continue fighting.

Seeing that Jiang Wu was about to use her Ultimate Kill again, Xuan Qing, wielding a sharp blade, lunged at her.

Jiang Wu’s gaze hardened, and she was about to strike him back with a backhand blow!

Su Mo’s gaze darkened. She lashed out with her whip and blocked Jiang Wu’s palm strike.

At the same time, she shouted, "Xuan Qing!"

Xuan Qing turned his head and saw the red Crystal Stone being teleported over by Su Mo using Totem Power. It embedded itself in his body at the speed of light.

It originally contained his own energy, so it quickly merged with the other auras in his body and, in a flash, flowed into his meridians.

Xuan Qing’s brow furrowed slightly. With a spin, his robes fluttering, the momentum of his sword suddenly shifted and drove straight for Jiang Wu!

Jiang Wu was currently entangled with Su Mo and had no time to be distracted. By the time the sharp blade approached, it was already too late to dodge.
