After the myth

Chapter 1115 Ancient Cripple
Without even considering it, Mo Wuji suddenly unleashed his aura, while the killing intent of the Mortal Halberd also frantically condensed.

The next moment, Mo Wuji and Ding Huan disappeared from their original spot, taking advantage of this powerful aura.

The two escaped.

boom!
Two hammer shadows crashed down from the void, completely obliterating the space where Ding Huan and Mo Wuji stood.

Even the black-clad and yellow-clad figures in the distance were blasted away by the killing force of the giant hammer, spitting out blood arrows in the air, and their aura of the Great Dao weakened visibly.

After being injured again, the man in black and the man in yellow did not continue to pursue Ding Huan and Mo Wuji. Instead, they fled in the same direction and disappeared.

An hour later, Ding Huan and Mo Wuji reunited, having long since left the site of their previous battle.

Both of them looked rather unwell.

One reason is that the two of them had exhausted themselves trying to escape earlier.

Secondly, neither Mo Wuji nor Ding Huan had ever seen such a powerful person before.

"Ding Huan, if you hadn't warned us in time, we would have been dead. I've never seen such a powerful person before. Could it be Mo Yuantian?"

Even someone as experienced as Mo Wuji couldn't help but feel a little scared.

They were being watched, and their target was ready to ambush them at any moment. Unaware of this, they were still focused on dealing with the men in black and yellow.

If they had actually made their move, the hammers would have struck at the same moment, and no matter how strong they were, they would have been seriously injured.

Even the mildest form of this injury is the loss of one's physical body.

They fled immediately and escaped disaster.

"It shouldn't be Mo Yuantian."

Ding Huan was equally terrified, thinking about the overwhelming power of those two hammer blows.

Even though he and Mo Wuji had escaped the killing aura by then, the terrifying killing intent still made him feel palpitations.

Ding Huan was almost certain of one thing: the guy wielding the double hammers was not Mo Yuantian.

If it were Mo Yuantian, there would be no need to ambush them at all.

They were openly intercepted, and even if they joined forces, they couldn't possibly be a match for Mo Yuantian.

"If it weren't for Mo Yuantian, how could Ye Xuan have offended such a powerful figure?" Mo Wuji took a deep breath. Even after taking the eighth step, he realized that he was still so weak.

Ding Huan slowly said, "Perhaps these two people weren't provoked by Ye Xuan, but by me."

Mo Wuji shook his head: "Ding Huan, I'm not talking about the man in yellow and the man in black, but the guy who ambushed us with his double hammers just now."

Ding Huan's tone turned serious: "I know, I'm not talking about them. Even if those people in yellow and black were face to face, we wouldn't be afraid, let alone the fact that we ambushed and seriously injured them."

I was referring to two other people…

Mo Wuji heard the serious tone in Ding Huan's voice and knew that he was no ordinary person.

“Let’s find a safe place to talk in detail first. It’s too close to that place from here. By the way, can we still get your cosmic pot back?” Mo Wuji became even more cautious when he heard that there was a fourth person.

Ding Huan shook his head: "The cosmic cauldron is trapped in a void canyon and can't break free. I need to find it. But I don't think we need to leave here; it's safe here."

"Why?"

"Because one of the two guys who ambushed us today should only be able to ambush us once, and not be able to follow us."

This guy's origins are perhaps even more terrifying than Mo Yuantian's; they're from the most ancient of all times. I did indeed take something from him; I took one of his eyes back then.

The remaining part of his physical body was just a blood-red peak. If it weren't for that hammer blow, I would never have imagined that guy could actually make a move.

Ding Huan was almost certain that the one who attacked them was the true form of Sword Source Blood Peak.

Ding Huan didn't know which powerful figure Sword Source Blood Peak was the remnant of, but all that remained of him was his body, which had been suppressed by the Humanity Nails for countless years, and his strength was only enough to ambush them.

And you can only launch a sneak attack once.

Mo Wuji was somewhat confused: "What do you mean?"

Ding Huan began by recounting his journey into the Tongti Star Continent, and ended by mentioning that he had ambushed Suo Qianshan and taken away Suo Qianshan's Great Dao Eye.

It must be this place that angered the remnant body of the powerful Sword Source Blood Peak.

Mo Wuji snorted: "Ding Huan, so you've done that ancient cripple a favor."

I suspect that if you hadn't ambushed Suo Qianshan and taken away his Great Dao Eye, that ancient cripple wouldn't have been able to launch a sneak attack on us.

This guy is something else! Not only does he not appreciate our kindness, he even ambushed us. He truly has no sense of gratitude whatsoever.

Ding Huan chuckled: "People who know how to repay kindness are rare these days. Ungrateful people are everywhere. I've seen plenty of them."

Whether they are ancient cripples or later little people, they are all the same, nothing special.

The reason that ancient cripple holds a grudge against me is probably because I didn't help him remove the Dao nails and took away the Great Dao Eye, so he harbors resentment.

"The fact that this guy could ambush us clearly means that the Dao Nails on his body have been removed, and the Dao Threads have been severed. I can also guess who removed his Dao Nails."

Ding Huan felt that Mo Wuji's description of the Sword Source Blood Peak as "ancient cripple" was very apt, so he simply called the other party "ancient cripple" as well.

"who is it?"

Ding Huan took a deep breath: "I really have a deep grudge against this person. All I know is that his name is Taixu. In the beginning, he wanted to turn me into one of his clones."

This guy is skilled in divination. He gave me a scroll, which is his backup plan to make me a clone or possess my body in the future.

As a result, my cultivation progressed too quickly, and I was eventually discovered. I then destroyed the scroll, and that's how our great enmity began.

"I suspect that the man in black and the man in yellow are actually two other clones of that guy. Those two weren't as lucky as me; they were turned into clones by Taixu." "Ding Huan, I understand now. You're saying that besides those clones in yellow and black, Taixu is also hiding behind the scenes, teaming up with the Ancient Cripple?"

Mo Wuji said.

Ding Huan hesitated for a moment and then said, "At first, I thought that Taixu did not have a true body. If he wanted to be reborn, he would have to rely on the five clones."

As my cultivation level increases and my understanding of the Great Dao deepens, I am now certain that the True Form of the Great Void must exist.

To reach the pinnacle of the universe, he must merge his five clones.

This guy has high aspirations but bad luck.

The scroll left on me was destroyed, but there are two other marks on me that I suspect are also faulty.

Besides the faceless gray-robed man, Ding Huan suspected that the dung beetle was also one of the clones prepared by Taixu.

However, the dung beetle was quite strange; somehow it destroyed the scroll of Taixu's clone and stripped the imprint from his soul.

Mo Wuji also pondered for a long time, and he fully understood the meaning of Ding Huan's words.

Taixu discovered the remnant body of the 'Ancient Cripple' Sword Source Blood Peak on the same planet as Tixinglu. Taixu then rescued the remnant body, and the two joined forces to plot against Ding Huan.

Ding Huan not only took away the scroll of Taixu, but also the Great Dao Eye of the 'Ancient Cripple'.

"Ding Huan, what do you think of the true strength of Taixu?" Mo Wuji grasped the key point of the question.

Ding Huan said that the ancient cripple could only make one move at most, and the main body couldn't even chase after him, which meant he posed no threat.

Then they only need to consider the strength of Taixu.

As for Taixu's two clones, the one in black and the one in yellow, they were both injured and no longer pose a threat to them.

Ding Huan shook his head: "It's hard to say. I estimate that he should be a little stronger than his clone, but only by a limited margin. Otherwise, there would be no need for that guy to join forces with the ancient cripple."

Ding Huan believes the best solution now is to go to Tongti Star Continent, but going to Tongti Star Continent is also the most dangerous.

If he misjudges the situation, and that cripple still has the ability to attack, he and Mo Wuji might not even have a chance to escape; they would be delivered right to his doorstep.

"Ding Huan, I think the best thing to do now is to go to Tongti Star Continent and kill that ancient cripple. Regardless of whether that guy can only act once, this is our only chance."

Otherwise, if that guy recovers, we'll have to face his second attack.

Mo Wuji made a decisive decision.

If the ancient cripple's attack is so terrifying, will they still have such good luck if he attacks a second time?
Ding Huan felt great admiration for him.

Mo Wuji shared the same thought: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

Their journey to Tongti Star Continent is indeed fraught with danger, but if they succeed, it will eliminate the subsequent crises.

If Taixu alone, along with his two clones, could easily overwhelm them, he wouldn't have sought to cooperate with the 'Ancient Cripple'.

“Okay, that’s what I think too.” Ding Huan laughed.

He left behind a contingency plan using the Source Law at Sword Source Blood Peak, but it's unknown whether that plan still exists.

He just can't sense it now.

"We need to be careful how we get across."

Mo Wuji knew Ding Huan would agree.

If Ding Huan had been timid and hesitant, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today.

Ding Huan chuckled: "We'll teleport there. I left a teleportation array on Tongti Star Continent."

Mo Wuji was overjoyed: "You mean we can enter Tongti Star Continent directly without going through the protective array entrance?"

"That's the idea. Of course, if Tongti Star Continent is destroyed, teleporting there now would be like walking into a trap."

"Impossible. If that ancient cripple had the ability to destroy the Tongti Star Continent, he wouldn't have only made one move. Even if he wanted to destroy the Tongti Star Continent, he wouldn't do it now."

Mo Wuji said without hesitation.

Ding Huan wholeheartedly agreed:

"We need to go to the Tongti Star Continent. It's not enough to just become someone else; we also need to change our own Dao aura so that our Dao charm can blend with the rules of this universe."

"This is easy..."

……

It is a place a million miles outside of the city of Tixing Lukudao.

Ding Huan's teleportation array was set up here.

There was no one here before, and after several upheavals on the planet Tixing, no one has come here at all.

After a slight spatial ripple, two figures suddenly appeared.

It was Ding Huan and Mo Wuji, who had changed their forms.

Ding Huan and Mo Wuji were overjoyed when they landed, knowing that the first step had been successful.

The fact that they were able to teleport here safely shows that the Tongti Star Continent has not been destroyed by the 'Ancient Cripple'.

(Good night, fellow Taoists!)
