Chapter 491 Hero Saves Beauty

Speaking of which, he suddenly struck, and a wisp of black energy floated out, but it was like a heavy hammer, striking a person below.

It all happened too suddenly. Before the person knew what was happening, he was shattered into pieces and killed.

"He actually dared to glare at me. This is the consequence of glaring at me," Han Tong'er said nonchalantly, flicking at his robes.

"Do you really think you can beat me?" Shen Xiuzhu glared at Han Tong'er and said.

"Oh, you're glaring at me again!" Han Tong'er said with feigned anger. "Let me think. Killing you directly is a bit of a waste. How about this: I'll sleep with you first, and then kill you."

Shen Xiuzhu was so angry her teeth were about to shatter. She let out an angry roar, "You're asking for death!" and leaped into the air. In mid-air, she made a gesture, crossed her hands in the air, and countless threads shot out towards Han Tong'er, piercing his body and churning rapidly, shredding him to pieces.

As the countless threads retracted, Shen Xiuzhu calmly looked at the dust-filled air, "Is that all?"

Mo Qi, from a distance, called out a warning, "Don't let your guard down, he's not dead yet!"

Hearing Mo Qi's voice, Jiang Wuji approached from nearby and roared, "Good! You little thief, you dare to trespass here again. Aren't you courting death?"

As he spoke, Jiang Wuji conjured a flying sword and hurled it at Mo Qi. Simultaneously, a follower beside him also conjured a flying sword and attacked Mo Qi.

Mo Qi directly activated his telekinetic powers. The two flying swords strangely veered, turning to attack their respective masters.

Jiang Wuji and his follower were greatly alarmed. They repeatedly made gestures, trying to divert the flying swords, but strangely, they couldn't. The two flying swords instantly pierced through Jiang Wuji and his follower, from chest to back, and they fell to the ground, dead.

Before they died, neither of them knew what was happening. They thought the other had suddenly attacked them, and they looked at each other with unwillingness, "You, how could you ambush me?"

The others watched in stunned silence as these two killed each other.

These two never had any conflict. Why did they end up killing each other today? How much debt must they have owed?

Having received a hint, Shen Xiuzhu dispersed her spiritual energy, concentrated her attention on observing the surroundings, and suddenly retreated three zhang.

In the spot where she had been standing, black mist permeated, gradually condensing into strip-like objects, resembling earthworms. These earthworms then intertwined, gradually solidifying and taking on human form.

It was Han Tong'er's appearance!

Once Han Tong'er regained his human form, he burst into laughter, "Just playing with you. Did you really think you succeeded?"

Shen Xiuzhu felt a bit uneasy. In combat, the most terrifying enemy wasn't one with high martial arts, but one that couldn't be killed no matter how hard you tried.

"I'm about to unleash my power," Han Tong'er said with a smile.

As he spoke, his body transformed into a black mist and charged towards Shen Xiuzhu.

Shen Xiuzhu didn't even have time to dodge. In the blink of an eye, he was upon her. Shen Xiuzhu hastily formed a hand seal, and a shield of light energy appeared before her, shining brilliantly and dazzlingly.

Han Tong'er slammed into the light energy shield with a roar, pushing it back in a straight line. Fragments of light energy splattered outwards, but the entire shield hadn't dissipated. It continued to shine and rotate.

Han Tong'er was sent flying back, flipped in the air, and slammed into the shield again.

Shen Xiuzhu channeled her spiritual energy, desperately holding up the light energy shield, but she was still being pushed back. Her spiritual energy was scattered, and her blood qi churned chaotically.

The light energy continuously splattered from the shield, causing it to shrink.

As one grew weaker, the other grew stronger. Han Tong'er's impacts, repeated one after another, became more ferocious each time.

Shen Xiuzhu was battered, her blood qi surging, and she retreated repeatedly. Finally, she couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood.

The light energy shield shattered, and Han Tong'er's body broke through, heading straight for Shen Xiuzhu.

Shen Xiuzhu weakly formed a hand seal. She was so weak that she couldn't even condense a ball of light energy. She was shocked herself and could only watch helplessly as her attacker charged at her.

There was no chance of survival from this impact. She couldn't dodge it even if she wanted to. Shen Xiuzhu could only despairingly await her fate.

Just then, a cauldron-shaped artifact suddenly appeared before her. Black mist spewed out from its opening with a hum, engulfing Han Tong'er's body. It made a hissing sound, like tearing fabric, as if trying to shred Han Tong'er's body to pieces.

Han Tong'er's body was pulled and twisted, elongating, then rounding, then sharpening, changing in countless ways.

Finally, as if giving up, Han Tong'er's body was torn apart, shredded into strips, and scattered in all directions.

Suddenly, a surge of light energy rushed forward like a tide, engulfing those strips of earthworms, instantly turning them into ashes.

However, one earthworm managed to escape. It slithered on the ground and burrowed into the sole of a bystander's foot. The person flailed in terror, but couldn't shake it off.

Everyone around quickly dodged as if avoiding a plague.

And that person's body, from bottom to top, turned black at a visible speed.

Mo Qi retracted his Yin-Yang Mirror and Primordial Golden Cauldron, quietly observing that person.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He had only known before that a "Mei" could revive even when shattered, but he didn't know it could also possess others.

Shen Xiuzhu had narrowly escaped death and felt quite surprised!

In the clan, who else could contend with Han Tong'er and save her in such a life-or-death situation?

It seemed no one could!

But she had indeed saved her life!

She looked up and saw an old man standing opposite her, with white hair, his back to her.

However, his posture was very upright, unlike what one would expect from an old man.

Judging by his physique alone, there seemed to be no one like him in the clan.

As she was feeling suspicious and trying to guess the man's origin, Elder Wei stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Miss Shen, I invited him from outside to help us. He can solve our problems."

Shen Xiuzhu was shocked, "You actually dared to take someone from outside without permission?"

Elder Wei said calmly, "If it's a dead end no matter what, why not try to treat a dying horse as if it were alive? What if it's saved?"

"Moreover, I personally witnessed him removing the restriction on that girl." He pointed to Murong Yanran, who was standing not far away.

"Seeing it with your own eyes doesn't necessarily mean it's true. What you saw is just what they wanted you to see," Shen Xiuzhu said.

Elder Wei paused for a moment, then decisively shook his head, "No, I can be sure there was no falsehood or acting involved."

At this moment, the possessed youth was completely black, having transformed into the typical appearance of a "Mei." He laughed up at the sky, "Hahaha, do you see? I am immortal. Don't waste your efforts. Just surrender. I will kill you all because sooner or later you will all become like me. If any of you don't want to kill yourselves then, I will feel threatened. Therefore, you must all die."

The clan members' attention was drawn back, and they all looked at the demon in the center with terror.

Mo Qi calmly looked at him, "There are many like you outside. Can you kill them all?"

Han Tong'er finally noticed Mo Qi, "Was that you who ambushed me? Who are you? Where did you come from?"

Mo Qi stared at him coldly, "I am the one who came to kill you."

At this moment, Murong Yanran stepped forward, "And me."

Mo Qi coughed and pushed her back, "Not you. You go and stand aside first."

Although Murong Yanran was reluctant, she obediently retreated to the side.

When Mo Qi turned back, Shen Xiuzhu saw his appearance and was a little confused, "Is this an old man or a child?"

Han Tong'er's mouth twitched as he looked at Mo Qi, "Who exactly are you? Can you kill me? You succeeded in ambushing me just now, and you think you can really deal with me? My strength is less than one-tenth of what I can unleash."

"Then don't hold back. Unleash all your strength. I also want to see how capable a monster like you is," Mo Qi said.

Han Tong'er suddenly shook his head, "I don't want to fight anymore. You reminded me just now. I think you have a point. If I keep killing like this, I'll end up alone. So, I've changed my mind. I've decided to let them continue searching for spirit stones, try to resolve the restriction, and then turn them into my slaves. What's wrong with me being the king and overlord here, hahaha..."

Hearing this, Shen Qianfour struck the ground furiously with his cane, making a thudding sound, "You, you beast! As long as I am alive, you will never be able to lord it over and do evil here."

At this moment, Shen Xiuzhu stepped forward to support him and said in a low voice, "Grandfather, we can't defeat him now. It's better to stabilize him first, continue trying to lift the restriction, and then slowly find a way to get rid of him."

Shen Qianfour pondered for a moment, then sighed, "Very well, it must be so."

Han Tong'er flickered and sped away, his arrogant voice echoing in the air, "I can't be bothered to waste words with you. I'll give you ten days. If you can't lift the restriction, you will still die."

Everyone stood there in a daze, sighing in unison.

Shen Qianfour called Elder Wei to his side and asked, "I asked you to find the detoxification spirit stones. Did you find them?"

"We found them," Elder Wei said with a smile, pointing at Mo Qi, "It's him."

Shen Qianfour paused, rubbed his eyes, and said somewhat confusedly, "If I'm not mistaken, that's a person."

"Yes," Elder Wei nodded with a smile, "I personally saw him use spirit stones to remove the restriction."

Shen Qianfour couldn't hide his joy, "Really? Does that mean we are saved?"

The people around, hearing that they were saved, also cheered, and there was a great commotion.

Shen Xiuzhu whispered to Shen Qianfour, "This person is from outside. I'm worried he has ulterior motives."

"Then, is he the antidote, or are the spirit stones the antidote?" Shen Qianfour's expression froze, and after a while, he said doubtfully.

"This... it seems he used the spirit stones as a guide to draw it out," Elder Wei said hesitantly.

Shen Qianfour sized up Mo Qi for a while, swayed his body, and with Shen Xiuzhu's support, slowly walked in front of Mo Qi. The others followed, forming a large procession, silently confronting Mo Qi.
