Jin Kui, it must be said, was excellent at seizing opportunities.
Du Mu was busy deterring the various masters and could not arrive in time for rescue. As long as he captured Du Rui'er, Du Mu would be hesitant to act, and the heaven-defying item would surely fall into his hands.
"Jin Kui, you're seeking death! Dare to touch a single hair of Rui'er, and I will slaughter your entire clan!"
Du Mu panicked, only able to watch helplessly as Jin Kui burst into Ji Mo's room. It was too late to stop him.
Seeing this, the others could no longer hold back and also wanted to get a piece of the pie.
"There must be an extraordinary treasure within Sunset Glow Villa. Let's all make a move and snatch the treasure!"
Someone secretly shouted, instantly inciting many reckless youths to charge forward.
"Kill them!"
Du Mu's rage soared as he issued the order.
In recent years, due to depleted vital energy, he had rarely resorted to killing. It seemed these people thought he was old and could no longer wield his blade.
Then today, he would let these petty thieves experience his wrath.
Immediately, shouts of killing erupted into a single chorus. The masters of Sunset Glow Villa began to ruthlessly slaughter these intruders.
The mindless became cannon fodder, while the intelligent remained still.
The cunning and treacherous ones did not even show their faces, choosing to observe until it was confirmed whether there truly was a heaven-defying item.
If Jin Kui truly managed to snatch something good, these people would undoubtedly fight for it without hesitation.
At that time, rivers of blood would flow, not only destroying Sunset Glow Villa but likely bringing disaster to Fengmo City as well.
The struggle for heaven-defying treasures was often accompanied by bloodshed; the cultivation world was this cruel.
Inside the room.
Ji Mo said with a helpless expression, "I'm just massaging your stomach, you won't get pregnant, and you won't have a baby. Holding hands and kissing won't result in a baby either. Little kid, don't overthink it, I'm not taking advantage of you, I'm just treating your illness!"
Du Rui'er was like a blank slate, understanding nothing.
If he didn't explain clearly, he might have to take responsibility later.
"Go slower, I'm so hot!"
Du Rui'er's heart pounded rapidly, her entire body flushed pink. Vital energy surged within her like the sea, and her half-closed eyes flickered with golden radiance.
She instinctively tugged at her collar, revealing a expanse of fair skin, and gasped for breath, feeling as though she were ignited, burning hot.
Du Rui'er did not realize that her cultivation had unknowingly broken through to the Emperor realm and was still soaring.
"Bear with it, we're almost done."
Ji Mo used Tai Chi techniques to massage Du Rui'er's abdomen. Faintly, one could see the Yin and Yang twin fish swirling as his palms moved, and chaotic energy flowed, decomposing the malevolent energy within Du Rui'er and transforming it into nourishment for her body.
"Ugly monster, how do you have a baby then?"
Du Rui'er asked curiously.
Ji Mo was speechless and pretended not to hear.
"Oh, so you don't know either. Since you're treating me, I'll teach you when I learn."
Du Rui'er said very seriously.
Ji Mo twitched his lips, wanting to say something witty, but he restrained himself.
At this moment.
Jin Kui rushed in, his toad-like eyes scanning the surroundings, searching for the heaven-defying item.
But inside the room, apart from Du Rui'er and a mortal who looked like a carbonized spirit, there was nothing else.
Nor was there any aura of treasure.
This left him somewhat stunned. He couldn't fathom how Du Rui'er could awaken such a powerful bloodline without the aid of a heaven-defying item.
"Wow, what a big toad?"
Ji Mo's eyes lit up. It was the first time he had seen such a large golden toad.
This must be a rare variant, its flesh must be very delicious.
Toad?
Jin Kui was enraged. No one had ever dared to insult him like this.
He possessed the Golden Toad bloodline, a noble lineage among the demon race, yet he was now belittled as a toad by a mortal. This was absolutely intolerable.
Jin Kui lunged at Ji Mo, opening his wide mouth, wishing he could swallow this ugly human whole.
However.
As soon as he got close, he was kicked in the stomach by Ji Mo.
He felt as though he had been struck by a hundred thousand mountains, his internal organs aching fiercely, and his long tongue flicked out.
Jin Kui flew backward, smashing a pile of furniture.
"Braised or stir-fried?"
Ji Mo smacked his lips, his teeth very white, his smile very bright.
Today, there would be meat to eat.
Jin Kui trembled all over, never imagining that this incredibly ugly man was so terrifying, a single kick had nearly exploded him.
He desperately circulated his spiritual energy, his skin secreting viscous green liquid, which he sprayed towards Ji Mo.
This was his innate potent poison. A single drop would be fatal upon contact with blood, and touching it meant certain death.
This was also his greatest trump card, having used this poison multiple times to turn the tide and kill opponents.
Alas, this time he was destined to miscalculate.
Ji Mo was immune to all poisons and was not afraid of this toad poison at all.
Seeing that his clothes were stained with the green poison, he became very angry. He strode forward, grabbed one of Jin Kui's toad legs, and directly swung him, smashing him against the ground.
At this moment, Jin Kui finally understood that Du Mu had not found some heaven-defying item, but rather a heaven-defying person.
He had capsized in a ditch and was finished.
How he hated it, blaming Jin Cheng for his betrayal. Otherwise, how could he have ended up in such a state?
"Croak..."
Jin Kui let out a desperate scream.
Outside the room.
Du Mu was unaware of what was happening inside.
He could only feel the great commotion, the house shaking, and hear the piercing screams.
"Jin Kui, don't act rashly! Don't harm Rui'er and Ji Mo. We can discuss anything."
Du Mu dared not force his way in and could only try to negotiate with Jin Kui.
As long as Rui'er and Ji Mo were unharmed, he could make concessions.
Footsteps sounded, and Ji Mo's figure slowly appeared.
"My son-in-law, are you alright? How is Rui'er?"
Du Mu asked anxiously.
"I'm fine. Rui'er is doing very well."
Ji Mo said indifferently, not understanding why Du Mu was so nervous. It was just bloating, not a serious illness. Was it necessary?
Du Mu desperately wanted to say how could she be fine? Jin Kui had broken in, he must have had ill intentions towards Rui'er!
But the next second.
His face was filled with shock, he couldn't believe his eyes.
What was Ji Mo holding in his hand? It was Jin Kui's corpse!
"Hiss..."
Everyone outside also saw this scene, their eyes widening in shock, their scalps tingling.
How long had Jin Kui been inside before he became a corpse, dragged out by a human with a pitch-black face?
Judging by the corpse, Jin Kui's end was tragic. His eyes bulged out, his tongue hung out incredibly long, and who knew what he had gone through.
"This... You... You killed him?"
Du Mu's voice trembled, stuttering slightly.
He truly couldn't believe that Jin Kui had been killed so easily.
"I originally intended to capture him alive, but this thing was too filthy, spewing poison everywhere. I accidentally smashed him to death."
Ji Mo looked innocent.
Then, seeing Du Mu's strange expression, he asked, "What, could this toad be very valuable!"
Du Mu nodded blankly, his mind a complete blank, still unable to recover.
Even Jin Kui couldn't last a few breaths in Ji Mo's hands. Fortunately, he hadn't provoked him, otherwise, the outcome was truly unimaginable.
It was too terrifying. This person not only had a heaven-defying bloodline but also unfathomable strength!
