"You misunderstand," Mo Qi said faintly, "this is money for you to buy spirit-attracting insects."
"Alas," Teacher Zou said, "we don't know what you'll use it for, but it will certainly be put to good use. It's a hot potato in our hands, so we can give this to you as well."
Manager Jiang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, take it."
"There's no problem with the academic credits either," Teacher Ge said.
"Then thank you very much." Mo Qi cupped his fists in a salute, then handed the elixirs to Manager Qin and retreated.
Everyone was very curious, "What kind of elixir did Manager Qin ask Mo classmate to refine, that it's so mysterious?"
Manager Qin said lightly, "Nothing much, just an elixir for bruises and strains."
"No way? You need to ask Mo classmate to refine an elixir for bruises and strains? Can't you refine it yourself?" everyone asked with suspicion.
"I, I just didn't have time!" Manager Qin stammered.
Mo Qi walked on the path to his dormitory. As he passed through several corridors and a courtyard, two figures flashed and appeared before him. Mo Qi saw that one was Yuwen Dong, and the other was slightly older. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and square mouth, and his eyes gleamed with sharp light, like an eagle's gaze. A single glance made one's heart tremble.
"Good dogs don't block the way," Mo Qi said.
Just as Yuwen Dong was about to react, the eagle-eyed man immediately reached out and stopped him from speaking.
Then, the man's deep voice sounded, "I ask you, did you kill Mu Shaoyang and the others?" His voice was bone-chillingly cold, making one shiver.
"Who is Mu Shaoyang? I don't know him." Mo Qi played dumb.
"You're lying, you definitely killed them," Yuwen Dong said.
"What makes you say that? Why would I kill them? We have no enmity," Mo Qi said.
Yuwen Dong: "I asked them to kill you, and they never returned. If you didn't kill them, who did?"
"So, you can let them kill me, but I can't kill them?" Mo Qi stared at Yuwen Dong.
Yuwen Dong was speechless for a moment, "This..."
The eagle-eyed man said, "Are you admitting it then?"
Mo Qi remained noncommittal, "What if I admit it, and what if I don't? Since you've come to me, you're definitely not going to let this go."
Yuwen Dong nodded, "You're quite smart. Indeed, no matter what, you have to die today. Because you shouldn't have, you offended the person you shouldn't have offended."
"Last time, that guy named Nangong, I think he said something similar, but I beat him down. I don't know if he's alive or dead now," Mo Qi said contemptuously.
Yuwen Dong paused. He was too arrogant, and his aura was too strong. I couldn't suppress him at all.
If I can't suppress him, I can hand him over to someone else.
Yuwen Dong pointed to the eagle-eyed man beside him, "Let me tell you, this is You Kefu, the Vice Cult Master of the Heavenly Capital Sect. He has the cultivation of the Small Ascension stage. Even if you were lucky enough to kill Mu Shaoyang and the others, you would never escape this calamity. You are doomed to die today."
Small Ascension stage cultivation, Mo Qi was still a little wary!
His Divine Sense Vajra Art had already reached the ninth level. With the battle armor, his defensive capabilities had increased unprecedentedly. Coupled with the penetration power of the Divine Sense Vajra Art, it could enhance his spiritual power, making it more lethal and capable of defeating opponents across different levels.
However, the difference between Small Ascension and Soul Splitting was not just a matter of levels.
The last time he defeated Wu Cunxin was entirely due to the power of the Bursting Elixir. Today, he still had one Bursting Elixir, but he was reluctant to use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Although his cultivation had improved since then, he was already at the late stage of Soul Splitting, just one step away from the Small Ascension cultivation, the gap was still immeasurable.
You Kefu glanced at Yuwen Dong, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"I'm here to find you for no other reason," You Kefu said coldly, "only because you killed my brother, Mu Shaoyang."
As he spoke, You Kefu formed a hand seal, "Extreme Wind!" With a flick of his finger, a wind shadow surged out and struck towards Mo Qi.
Isn't this Lu Xiaoyue's divine ability?
A chilling aura instantly attacked, and the hurricane howled like monstrous waves, crashing one after another, making people stagger. Countless dark shadows, like blades, shuttled rapidly through the air.
Mo Qi hurriedly concentrated his divine sense and gathered his energy. His golden battle armor had already been silently augmented.
With a hand seal in his right hand, he erected a thick ice wall in front of him, then braced himself on the ground, "Thousand Miles of Ice Seal!" A cold aura descended instantly, the air rapidly cooled, and the surroundings instantly froze, spreading rapidly. The stone slabs and trees were encased in ice, and the flowers and grass were crushed. They were all frozen under the ice layer.
White mist rose from the ice layer, drifting and infiltrating the air silently, seemingly condensing the air itself.
The wind blades, dense and successive, scraped past. The ice wall instantly suffered erosion from the wind, peeling off layer by layer, shattering and collapsing at a visible speed.
From Mo Qi's perspective, he saw ten thousand slender blades twisting and killing side by side. Before the first row dissipated, another row of blades twisted and killed side by side.
The ice wall instantly collapsed, and ten thousand wind blades howled forward with destructive force, ice shards mixed with cold air diffusing endlessly.
Mo Qi was greatly alarmed, continuously inputting spiritual power. The ice layer kept thickening, and white mist continuously rose from the ice layer. The mist was light and ethereal at first, but later it seemed to gain endless power, rolling and circulating.
As it circulated, a freezing force was generated, quietly extending. As the wind blades howled and churned, the white mist quickly dispersed, and the front rows of blades gradually dissipated in the struggle. However, the rear wind blades still howled forward.
The wind blades remained chilling, and the aura of death remained strong.
Mo Qi did not dodge. His eyes were filled with killing intent and resolve. He let out a long roar that pierced the sky, "Ah—" and allowed all the wind blades to strike him.
At the same time, his body surged upwards. He swallowed an emergency elixir, and the flame power in his body circulated. In an instant, his body turned fiery red, especially his right fist, which was still burning fiercely. He looked down on the world, as if the god of the sun had descended upon the mortal realm.
You Kefu was greatly shocked, not expecting the opponent's defense to be so strong. He expected that he wouldn't be able to defeat him in a short time, and the opponent's attack seemed unstoppable. In his urgency, he wanted to retreat rapidly, but at this moment, he suddenly discovered that his legs were already deeply embedded in the ice.
The fist, carrying lava-like flames, seemed to be the karma fire from hell, roaring towards him with the power to burn everything.
Yuwen Dong was greatly alarmed and wanted to rescue him, but he also discovered that his legs were stuck in the ice. He hurriedly conjured a fireball. Mo Qi completely ignored it, continuing to attack You Kefu with the same speed and power.
You Kefu also let out a long roar, using his palm as a saber, he forcefully severed his own legs at the knee, and then, with lightning speed, floated away.
The next moment, Mo Qi's fist came towards him. A fireball suddenly crashed into the ground, ice flowers scattering, white mist rolling. In the swirling mist, Yuwen Dong's body was violently lifted, flying several feet away before crashing heavily onto the ice, becoming a heap.
Then, it rained a drizzle of blood from the sky, from near to far, it was the blood left by You Kefu as he fled.
Mo Qi climbed out of the pit, the flames around him dissipated, and only then did he see that his skin was torn and his flesh was bleeding.
He immediately took a healing elixir and then lay on the ice, panting heavily.
At this time, the ice layer was also slowly melting, and Yuwen Dong was slowly getting up.
Mo Qi stood up and slowly walked towards Yuwen Dong.
In his eyes, there was a raging fire and a desperate killing intent!
Yuwen Dong turned his head and met that gaze, his heart trembling with fear. He crawled backward on the ground.
"You shouldn't have, you shouldn't have offended the person you shouldn't have offended," Mo Qi said slowly, each word squeezed from between his teeth, each word chilling to the bone.
"Don't kill me, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have offended you." Yuwen Dong looked at Mo Qi with pleading eyes. In his haste, tears even welled up.
Mo Qi shook his head, "You only realize it now, it's too late."
Yuwen Dong was greatly anxious and had already knelt down, kowtowing incessantly, "Brother Mo, don't kill me, don't kill me. I will never dare to offend you again. I won't fight you for Chao Xixue, I'll give her to you."
Mo Qi had already reached Yuwen Dong and looked down at him like a god. Yuwen Dong shivered with fear.
At some point, people had already surrounded them. Xue Nü was also in the crowd. Hearing Yuwen Dong's words, her expression became slightly awkward.
Mo Qi was also enraged, "Are you speaking human words? Give her to me?"
"No need to give, she was yours from the beginning," Yuwen Dong immediately corrected himself.
Mo Qi rolled his eyes and raised his right hand, preparing to strike him down, "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you!"
"Stop!" Suddenly, a voice broke through the air.
Mo Qi recognized it as Xue Nü's voice.
Mo Qi lowered his raised hand and looked up, only to see Xue Nü walking out of the crowd.
"He wanted to kill me, and you want to save him?" Mo Qi said in shock, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Xue Nü stared at Mo Qi, "I don't care if he lives or dies, I care... During the training period, fellow disciples are not allowed to kill each other. If you kill him, you won't have to study here. Even if you complete all your credits, you won't be able to graduate, and you will be expelled."
"Expelled..." Mo Qi remembered the dean's warning and hesitated for a moment.
While Mo Qi was hesitating, Yuwen Dong stood up and quietly tried to slip away.
"The death penalty can be avoided, but the crime of living cannot escape," Mo Qi shouted, his figure flashing, and he landed in front of Yuwen Dong. His hand moved like lightning, covering Yuwen Dong's mouth. Amidst Yuwen Dong's struggles, something rolled down his throat with a gulp.
Yuwen Dong coughed and poked around in his mouth with his finger, but he couldn't get anything out.
"What did you feed me?" Yuwen Dong said in terror.
"This is a spirit-attracting insect. With it inside you, your cultivation will not be able to advance even a little," Mo Qi said with a smile.
"What?" Yuwen Dong was so enraged that his lungs were about to explode, but he dared not act out, because his current concern was losing his life.
For him, being able to live was already good enough.
Then, he merely glanced at Mo Qi and scurried away in shame.
Mo Qi turned back to look at Xue Nü, "I hope he really won't bother you anymore."
Xue Nü, however, gazed into the endless deep sky, her eyes filled with infinite worry, "You should worry about yourself. If you really sealed his cultivation, he won't let this go so easily. His family's power is not something you can deal with."
Mo Qi snorted, "When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a road. When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally be straight. What will come will come, what's the use of worrying?"
"I truly admire your optimism," Xue Nü shook her head, took out her communication spirit stone, and handed it to Mo Qi, "We haven't established a connection with our communication spirit stones yet, have we? Set it up, and let me know if anything happens."
Although Mo Qi felt that her saying "let me know if anything happens" was a bit jarring, feeling like he was relying on a big tree for shade, he still unhesitatingly established a connection with her using his own communication spirit stone.
If he didn't need to find her for these matters, he could find her for other matters!
