Others were about to win, yet you were pouring cold water. What were your intentions?
However, he felt uneasy if he didn't remind Zeng Xinjian. After much thought, he quietly approached Hai Ya and said, "Elder, do you think he will kill Ye Yun so easily?"
Hai Ya glanced at him sideways and said, "Yes, it's not easy anymore. What is he doing? It's taking so long. Shouldn't it have been settled long ago?"
Hei Shen froze, almost choking on his own spit.
Where did your confidence come from?
Fine, you can do as you please. I won't be the villain.
Then, he hardened his heart and watched the battle as if it were none of his business.
At this moment, Mo Qi held the Burning Heaven Stone in his hand, and fire spewed from its holes, burning away the approaching beastly shadows one by one.
Those beasts had no substantive life and felt no pain. No matter how many were killed, their "enthusiasm" was not affected at all. They kept rushing forward endlessly.
Mo Qi weaved through the horde of beasts, pushing left and right, appearing increasingly difficult and sluggish.
The bloodstains on his body grew, and his complexion worsened.
Zeng Xinjian was on the verge of victory and continuously channeled his spiritual power. He even proactively moved closer to Mo Qi's direction.
He believed Mo Qi no longer had any ability to resist and was destined to be killed.
He even thought that if he stepped forward now and gently pushed Mo Qi, he would fall.
But he restrained himself!
It made no difference whether he killed him a moment sooner or later.
I can hold back.
I've endured for so long, I don't care about this moment.
I should enjoy the process of revenge, so letting him die slowly makes me happier.
Therefore, I'll proceed as planned.
I'll just keep channeling divine power, and time will take care of the rest.
Time will kill him.
And I only need to kill time.
Perfect!
I am indeed the most solid backing of the entire Orange Leaf Kingdom.
This is clearly a king's return, reversing the tide.
Even if everyone else died and only I remained, I could change the outcome.
I am the hope of all of them; with me, victory is assured.
With me, the Orange Leaf Kingdom will endure.
They are nothing; my elder brother is incompetent, and my younger brother is too.
They have always been arrogant, and at critical moments, they still can't withstand scrutiny.
But I am different; I have strength.
I will use my strength to silence them.
The key is that I am also low-key; I dislike praise and exaggeration, preferring to quietly achieve great things.
I saved the Orange Leaf Kingdom, but I won't ask them to erect monuments for me.
Even if they want to erect monuments for me, I will refuse.
If they insist, I will scold them.
What's the point of all this superficial stuff?
One must be down-to-earth and strive to improve their strength; that's the true path.
I am quite pragmatic, never overreaching or being overly eager for quick success.
I always take one step at a time, just like now. I only need to continue to exert my divine abilities, slowly burning him, and I will surely outlast my opponent.
However, at this moment, a slight accident occurred, causing Zeng Xinjian to break out in a cold sweat.
Mo Qi channeled the Green Lotus Fire again, swirling it round and round, eliminating the beastly shadows around him. He also seized the opportunity to approach Zeng Xinjian, fighting like a cornered beast.
Zeng Xinjian responded calmly, without haste, and continued to channel his spiritual power.
The tide-like beastly shadows surged continuously, and Mo Qi was soon surrounded again.
Mo Qi continued to wield the Burning Heaven Stone, struggling left and right, appearing extremely disheveled.
Zeng Xinjian's face showed a smug smile: "Little brat, still trying to counterattack? You've picked the wrong opponent. Just die peacefully."
At this moment, Lei Dong couldn't help but shout encouragement: "Martial Ancestor, kill him, kill him! He agreed to the no-holds-barred rule."
Zeng Xinjian said nonchalantly, "No rush, no rush. Killing him is only a matter of time. I want to torment him slowly first."
Only Hei Shen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
He originally didn't want to meddle in their affairs and planned to watch the unfolding events.
But the more he watched, the more anxious and uncomfortable he became.
He always felt that Mo Qi had some hidden trump card, but he never saw it.
The less Mo Qi revealed his trump card, the more unnerved he felt.
"You should be careful. I think he's gathering strength," Hei Shen couldn't help but say.
"Gathering strength? Does he still have time for that? I think he's waiting to die," Zeng Xinjian chuckled.
"Alas!" Hei Shen sighed heavily, not knowing what else to say.
Without evidence, others wouldn't believe him.
He should first think about what big move Mo Qi was brewing.
If he could expose Mo Qi's big move, it would also help Zeng Xinjian.
So, he scratched his ears and chin, deep in thought.
Meanwhile, Zeng Xinjian became even more arrogant and unrestrained.
Mo Qi dodged left and right, counterattacking the beasts with great difficulty.
But overall, he was steadily approaching Zeng Xinjian.
Hei Shen suddenly had an inspiration and shouted, "Retreat quickly, he's going to poison you. He's very skilled with poison."
"Poison?" Zeng Xinjian was a little surprised, but then dismissed it, "Even with poison, he has to make a move, it takes time. As soon as I see him make a move, I will react in advance and won't give him a chance."
"Fool, retreat quickly, or it will be too late," Hei Shen yelled anxiously.
Hai Ya, Hong Jun, and Lei Dong all looked at him in unison, asking what he was doing. Did he need to be so hysterical?
Hei Shen realized his loss of composure and nodded slightly to Hong Jun: "Old Ancestor, please allow me to take my leave. I can't bear to watch any longer."
"Why can't you bear to watch?" Hong Jun looked at him in surprise. "Do you think Elder Zeng will lose?"
Hei Shen wasn't sure if his judgment was correct, so he coughed and said, "No, I just feel that this kind of battle is too powerful. I'm not worthy of observing."
"It's alright, observe carefully, and you'll be able to gain some insights," Hong Jun said. "You are from the Heavenly Realm, and I shouldn't keep you by my side. However, Elder Hai saved your life, which means you have a connection with my sect. I think it's necessary to show you the strength of my sect and let you know the gap between the Heavenly Palace and my sect."
Hei Shen fell silent.
The Heavenly Palace indeed had a gap with the Heavenly Dao Sect, which was that the Heavenly Palace strategized in battles, while the Heavenly Dao Sect did not.
At this moment, Zeng Xinjian was still confidently channeling his divine abilities and attacking continuously.
He felt that he would be able to defeat his opponent soon.
However, at that moment, he suddenly felt dizzy and experienced a sharp pain in his stomach, losing control of himself.
"Damn it, I've been poisoned," Zeng Xinjian was greatly alarmed, hastily retreated, and stopped his spiritual energy attack. The beast tide ceased to surge.
Mo Qi stood calmly, using the Burning Heaven Stone to disperse the last of the beastly shadows, and said, "It's too late. Who told you not to heed good advice? Your stubbornness has cost you your life."
Zeng Xinjian was extremely unwilling, his eyes wide open, and he fell to the ground.
His body melted at a visible speed and quickly disappeared.
Hong Jun and the others watched in stunned silence. What had happened?
Was he really poisoned?
When did he administer the poison?
Even with Hong Jun's cultivation, he hadn't seen when Mo Qi made his move. This was too bizarre.
Cold sweat broke out on his back.
But at the same time, a nameless sense of destruction surged into his heart. He felt that he had to kill Mo Qi today, otherwise, when he grew up in the future, who would be able to control him?
The key was that this fellow was disobedient. If he had been even slightly more compliant, Hong Jun wouldn't have wanted to kill him.
Even if he could use poison, it posed no threat to him currently, but it might in the future.
Therefore, killing him now was the opportune moment.
At this moment, Hai Ya stepped forward, preparing to deal with Mo Qi.
Hong Jun waved his hand, pushing him back, and turned to look at Mo Qi: "Do you really want to fight me?"
Mo Qi sighed: "If I don't fight you, will you let me go?"
Hong Jun shook his head: "Indeed, you cannot leave. The blame lies with your arrogance. Remember to be more low-key and humble in your next life, and perhaps you'll live longer."
"I'll give you a piece of advice too. In your next life, don't overthink things. Be sincere and carefree with others. Why so many twists and turns? The more schemes you have, the fewer paths you'll find," Mo Qi said.
"You dare to lecture me?"
"What is there to fear? When the road is uneven, others will clear it."
Hong Jun was furious. His figure suddenly split, turning into two, then four, and in an instant, thousands of figures spun, forming a circle, with Mo Qi in the center.
Mo Qi immediately formed a hand seal and swirled the Green Lotus Fire.
The Green Lotus Fire was like a mud ox entering the sea, with no reaction whatsoever.
Hong Jun's thousands of clones continued to spin, forming a vast net that enveloped Mo Qi.
The Green Lotus Fire continued to swirl but had no effect on the divine net.
The divine net was like a cold tomb, gradually swallowing one's soul.
A wisp of green smoke drifted out, and Hong Jun's main body had already flown out, landing outside the circle.
The divine net continued to spin and shrink, the oppressive feeling intensifying.
Not only that, but the temperature inside the divine net rose sharply, and the entire space gradually turned into an inferno.
Mo Qi began to panic. He threw out the Burning Heaven Stone, which slammed into the divine fire net. As the divine fire net spun, it flew up, then returned to Mo Qi's hand after one rotation.
Mo Qi threw the Burning Heaven Stone again, and it still returned to his hand after one rotation, but it couldn't shake the divine net at all!
He felt a sense of despair!
At this moment, his body was constantly being squeezed, feeling as if it were being flattened, even about to explode.
His golden body resisted, but it was futile.
Thirty million small worlds!
Countless spherical spaces burst in the air, light and energy shattering, churning within the divine net.
The divine net grew smaller and smaller, leaving Mo Qi with less and less space to move.
Mo Qi could clearly feel that death was approaching.
He still hadn't given up. The Star Fortune Stone suddenly surged out, and from the front of the Star Fortune Stone, a cone-shaped light shadow whistled out, hitting the divine net and creating a hole in it.
The way out was ahead. Mo Qi's figure shot out of the hole, a smile appearing on his lips.
Zhu Yan exclaimed, "Wait!"
