Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

"You bastard! I'll smash you into mincemeat right now!"

Meng Hu trembled with rage, his eyes flashing with bloodlust.

He picked up his dulled sword and charged toward Wu Jiu.

Behind him, the soldiers of the Mountain-Shaking Army moved in response.

Having just emerged from a bloody battle, their eyes now burned with an even fiercer rage.

Countless spears and blades were raised in unison, their edges pointing at Wu Jiu.

A chilling atmosphere suddenly enveloped the world.

It seemed as if, in the next second, this exhausted yet indomitable army would tear Wu Jiu to shreds.

"Don't act impulsively!"

Qin Ruxue gave a low shout, stopping Meng Hu in time.

The Mountain-Shaking Army's formation was thus halted.

But swords and spears still stood everywhere.

That impending burst of energy was forcibly suppressed by Qin Ruxue.

She knew that Meng Hu was blinded by rage.

Wu Jiu, this enigmatic man in black robes, is by no means a simple enemy.

Qin Ruxue's gaze never left Wu Jiu.

Her intuition told her so.

This monster is a hundred times more dangerous than the hundreds of thousands of troops we just encountered.

That chilling, evil aura sent shivers down her spine.

Wu Jiu stood at a distance, a twisted, inhuman smile spreading across his face.

That smile was full of amusement and mockery.

He completely ignored Meng Hu's roar and paid no attention to the restless Mountain Shaking Army.

His entire attention was focused on Lin Mo.

In his view.

Whether it was the furious Meng Hu or the wary Qin Ruxue.

Or perhaps it was the elite army and giant elephants behind them.

They didn't even consider Wu Jiu a threat.

The only person he feared was Lin Mo.

Although he looks incredibly weak right now.

But Wu Jiu knew the truth in his heart.

The only thing that could disrupt his plans and cause unforeseen circumstances was this man.

"What's wrong, scared out of your wits?"

Wu Jiu's hoarse voice carried a morbid sarcasm.

"Afraid to speak?"

He wanted to provoke Lin Mo.

I want to see how pathetic this monster, who was just bloodthirsty and slaughtering, will be after losing its power.

However, Lin Mo simply held Xia Man'er tightly in his arms.

Those blood-red eyes remained fixed on the pale face of the person in his arms.

There was no response to Wu Jiu's taunts.

Wu Jiu's smile froze on his face.

He was thoroughly enraged by Lin Mo's dismissive attitude.

"Fine, fine, you're asking for it—"

Wu Jiu didn't get angry; instead, he laughed.

He suddenly raised his palm.

Something was wriggling in my palm.

next moment.

A monstrous worm, even fatter and more ferocious than before, tore open from his palm and crawled out.

The strange insect wriggled in Wu Jiu's palm, emitting a nauseating stench.

"She's next!"

Wu Jiu glared fiercely at Qin Ruxue.

"I'll make you watch helplessly as each of your women suffers a fate worse than death!"

As he spoke, Wu Jiu raised his arm, and the strange insect in his hand was about to shoot out!

However, at that moment...

boom--!

An extremely dense blood mist suddenly erupted from Lin Mo's body.

Blood mist instantly enveloped him and Xia Man'er in his arms.

It also covered Qin Ruxue and Meng Hu.

Immediately afterwards, it spread to the surrounding Mountain Shaking Army formation at an extremely fast speed.

The blood mist formed a blood-red barrier in front of everyone.

"What!?"

Wu Jiu was greatly alarmed.

He knew the power of this blood mist.

It can instantly drain the flesh and blood essence of a corpse puppet, and even turn its offspring into dust.

Wu Jiu retreated rapidly, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

But the arrow was already on the bowstring, and it had to be released.

He could only shoot the strange insect in his hand out.

call out--!!

Another ear-piercing whistling sound tore through the air.

The strange insect transformed into a dark afterimage and rushed straight towards the blood mist where Qin Ruxue was.

However, this time, Wu Jiu failed.

The strange insect shot out, attempting to pierce through the blood mist and strike Qin Ruxue.

But as soon as it touched the blood mist, it let out a shrill and ear-piercing scream.

"squeak--!!"

The sound was filled with pain and despair, piercing the eardrums.

Immediately afterwards, the strange insect shrank rapidly.

In the end, it turned into dust and dissipated into the blood mist.

"impossible!!"

Wu Jiu was utterly horrified.

He couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.

His most prized "Seven Deadly Gu" couldn't even penetrate this blood mist?

It was devoured in an instant!

That was a top-grade Gu worm that he had painstakingly cultivated using countless living people!

It's just gone like that!?

Wu Jiu suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, and the thought of retreating arose in his heart.

His body transformed into a blur, and he quickly fled into the distance.

With the blessing of the Seven Deadly Gu, his speed increased significantly.

Like a black arrow, it shot out hundreds of feet in the blink of an eye.

"Giggle giggle giggle!"

Wu Jiu chuckled strangely as he made a swift retreat.

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn!

Anyway, I've already succeeded in one strike.

The woman in Lin Mo's arms had been afflicted with the most vicious of the Seven Deadly Gu, the "Mind Control Gu".

In the future.

He can control the woman's body through the connection between the mother and child Gu.

At that time.

He could make her stage a live-action performance of a human skin being molted into a Gu in front of Lin Mo.

Let her melt into pus in his arms!

He wanted to make Lin Mo experience the ultimate pain and despair through the person he cared about most!

however.

Just as Wu Jiu was grinning maliciously, thinking that the situation was settled.

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air before my eyes.

No sound.

There was no warning.

She appeared in front of him so abruptly.

Holy crap!

Wu Jiu suddenly braked sharply.

He paused with his toes.

Jump backward quickly to create distance between yourself and the people in front of you.

"You fucking..."

Wu Jiu suddenly looked up and glared fiercely at the person blocking his way.

however.

When he saw the figure in front of him clearly, he was suddenly frozen in place.

That person looks so familiar...

Wu Jiu stared blankly at the person in front of him.

The man was dressed in black and had snow-white hair.

The eyes were a magnificent blood red.

That appearance...

"Lin Mo!?"

Wu Jiu pointed at Lin Mo in disbelief.

He looked behind him; the Mountain-Shaking Army formation was still a thousand feet away.

He was just a moment ago in the Shaking Mountain Army formation, holding that woman.

How did they appear in front of me in the blink of an eye?!

A chill suddenly swept through my body.

That wasn't fear, it was an instinctive tremor.

What...what kind of monster is this?!

"You, you, you, you..."

Wu Jiu kept squeezing out the word "you" from his mouth.

His voice was hoarse and trembling.

He wanted to ask, "Who exactly are you?"

Are you a human or a ghost?

However, the man did not give him any answer.

He simply raised his hand slowly and extended a finger toward Wu Jiu.

A pale, slender finger with eerie blood-red markings.

At the fingertip, a blood-red rune appeared faintly.

"Don't……!"

Wu Jiu's pupils suddenly contracted.

He felt an immense, irresistible force.

That power was beyond his comprehension.

He wanted to escape, to mobilize the Gu worms within his body in an attempt to break free.

It can be all the Gu worms in one's own body.

At this moment, everything fell silent.

They are also afraid.

They were also trembling.

Faced with this force, they couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

They didn't even dare to move.

That finger, carrying an unstoppable force, slowly pointed towards Wu Jiu's brow.

Wu Jiu's body twisted violently, letting out an inhuman scream.

His pale face swelled and contracted violently, and his bluish-black veins bulged out.

His body felt as if it were being crushed by an invisible giant hand.

"Pfft!"

Bloody.

The bones were shattered.

All the pain and struggle came to an abrupt end the moment the fingertips were touched and the bloodstains were touched.

Guziguziguzi——

Wu Jiu's enormous body was compressed and contracted by the air at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, it transformed into a blood-red sphere, suspended in mid-air.

The bead was crystal clear and emitted an eerie red light.
