Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

On the road to Qixia Mountain.

Prince Li, who had been tricked out of Shanyuan Nunnery by Wang Chong at dawn, was still sleepy and drowsy. He yawned on his horse and said, "Wang Chong, you might as well just bring this Liu woman to Shanyuan Nunnery. Why make me come all the way here myself?"

Wang Chong turned his head and said with a fawning smile, "Young Master, you don't know, that Golden Knife is really powerful. All the brothers are afraid of its tyranny, so who would dare to come to our door to kidnap someone?"

The crown prince cursed in dissatisfaction: "A bunch of good-for-nothing dogs, all they know how to do is show up but not put in any effort."

Wang Chong offered a few words of comfort: "Young Master, please rest assured. As long as you personally come to Qingshui Town, these scoundrels will not dare to slack off. They will surely rush to the Liu residence to capture the beauty for you."

"From what you're saying, that [Golden Knife] is quite powerful. If I go to Qingshui Town now, wouldn't that be like a lamb entering a tiger's den? No, I have to go back to Shanyuan Nunnery."

Realizing something was wrong, the prince quickly pulled on the reins, wanting to turn back up the mountain.

Wang Chong hurriedly pulled on the reins and advised, "Young Master, please calm down. The Golden Knife is not in Qingshui Town right now."

The prince exclaimed in surprise, "Where did he go?"

Wang Chong said, "The elixir of Yunxia Mountain was unveiled last night. Right now, this [Golden Knife] is fighting a group of martial arts practitioners at Zhishou Temple for the elixir. He has no time to care about Liu Yingying's life or death. If you, young master, come to Qingshui Town now and raise your arm, you will surely be able to capture the beauty alive. At that time, all the beauties of the Liu family and their vast wealth will be yours."

Upon hearing this, the young master's eyes lit up, and he became energetic. He pulled on the reins and excitedly said, "There's no time to lose! Let's hurry to Qingshui Town! Beautiful Liu, I'm coming!"

"drive!"

A white horse galloped down Qixia Mountain, leaving everyone in its dust.

"Young Master, wait for me!"

Wang Chong strode forward, chasing after him with all his might.

at the foot of the mountain.

Lin Mo, who was hiding beside the mountain path, stared coldly at the white-horse prince who was riding down the mountain with his whip cracking.

[The Soul-Slaying Blade of Despair], the Realm of Self-Sacrifice!

Lin Mo leaped up and swooped down like an eagle hunting a rabbit.

bass!

Accompanied by a deep dragon's roar, the sword was drawn horizontally, its blade light soaring into the sky like a thunderclap piercing the heavens and earth, before crashing down heavily.

The prince on the white horse felt his hair stand on end, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He had a very bad feeling and instinctively turned his head to look at his side.

With a flash of light, the sense of crisis that had been looming over the prince vanished, leaving only endless darkness that rapidly enveloped his consciousness.

boom!

The prince and his white horse were instantly torn in two.

The powerful blade light killed him and his horse in one fell swoop!

In a daze, before his consciousness was completely swallowed by nothingness, the fake prince saw the assassin's face clearly.

He recognized that face.

He was a pageboy who had served the Prince for many years in the Prince's mansion.

It was him!

How is that possible?

Wasn't he already dead?

How did I end up here?

He also possesses amazing martial arts skills.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, spraying into the sky and falling, drenching his shocked eyes.

This fake prince, filled with doubt, passed away.

No one knows his original real name.

He was a substitute for the Crown Prince until his death!

Li Muqing, who was hiding in the woods, witnessed everything. Her face was stunned with shock, her full red lips were slightly parted, and her head was buzzing with fright.

Lin Mo actually killed the Crown Prince of Li.

Has he gone mad?

As a soldier of the Prince's mansion, how dare he disobey his superiors?

This is a capital offense!

"Well done." Wang Chong caught up and clapped his hands in satisfaction when he saw the prince, who had been dismembered and was beyond dead.

"Young Master Lin, your swordsmanship is superb!"

Lin Mo knelt on one knee, panting heavily. He looked up at him and said in a low voice, "No, after a night of fierce fighting, I'm already at my limit. That last strike exhausted all my strength. I can barely stand up now."

"You've had a hard time, Young Master Lin. Let me help you up."

Wang Chong was eloquent, but he didn't dare to get close to Lin Mo. His right hand was tightly gripping the hilt of the sword at his waist, while his left hand was inside his robes.

If anything went wrong, he would immediately burn the Confucian texts.

This book of Confucian teachings was prepared by him for three thousand taels of silver, specifically for Lin Mo.

Old fox!

Lin Mo cursed inwardly. From the very beginning, his spiritual sense had locked onto Wang Chong and had long since noticed the Confucian script in his arms, but he didn't know what kind of magic it contained.

Having learned from his previous experience fighting Xu Shu, he dared not make a move rashly at this moment.

"Since you don't trust me, Brother Wang, don't come over. I will recover on my own after taking a Spirit Essence Pill."

Lin Mo reached into his robes, took out a medicine bottle, poured out a pill sealed with beeswax, and put it in his mouth.

Upon seeing the pill, Wang Chong's pupils constricted sharply, and he asked with a hopeful expression, "Is this the Spirit Essence Pill meticulously refined by True Immortal Danxia?"

"This is the elixir I obtained after a hard night of fighting. Brother Wang, would you like one?" Lin Mo sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating his profound energy. His aura suddenly surged, a sign that the elixir had taken effect promptly and was remarkably effective.

"Yes!" Wang Chong excitedly reached out to ask for it, then suddenly realized something was amiss: "You'd be so kind?"

"If I don't give it to you, won't you just try to take it from me?" Lin Mo coldly exposed his wicked intentions:

"This is a Spirit Essence Pill that can help martial artists break through their limits. On Cloud Mist Mountain, martial artists fought fiercely for it, causing rivers of blood to flow. I fought all night to obtain just this one bottle. Right now, I am severely injured and my inner strength is exhausted. Don't you want to kill and steal this precious pill without lifting a finger?"

"Rather than be silenced and have your pill taken, I'd rather be generous and use this pill to save my life."

Wang Chong smiled insincerely and said, "Why would I kill you to steal your pills? We're allies."

He really wanted to go up and kill Lin Mo with one blow, and then take the pill.

However, he dared not step forward rashly.

Heaven knows if Lin Mo was feigning weakness to trick himself into going up to his death.

Better safe than sorry!

"Brother Wang, do you want this elixir? If not, I can take it myself."

Lin Mo made a gesture as if he was going to swallow it himself.

"I want!"

Wang Chong hurriedly asked for it.

Whether it's true or false, he shouldn't continue taking it.

If it were truly a miracle cure, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lin Mo flicked his finger and sent the pill in his hand to him.

Wang Chong caught the pill but did not take it immediately. Instead, he looked at Lin Mo and saw that his aura was still rising and getting stronger.

"Could this really be a Spirit Essence Pill?"

Wang Chongxin had doubts and still dared not easily take the elixir.

He immediately took out a silver needle and inserted it into the pill; the silver needle did not turn black.

Wang Chong's eyes suddenly lit up with joy.

It's actually non-toxic!

Could this really be a Spirit Essence Pill?

Would Lin Mo really be so kind as to give me a real elixir?

Lin Mo suddenly burst into laughter, his aura surging dramatically: "As expected of the Spirit Essence Pill, my internal energy is almost restored."

"Wang Chong, you brat, congratulations on missing the best opportunity to kill me. Once I've fully recovered, I'll make you pay."

"Damn it, this is actually a real elixir!"

Wang Chong immediately realized he had been tricked.

Lin Mo was truly suffering from internal injuries and had exhausted his strength. His offering of pills in exchange for his life was merely a ruse to buy himself time to recover and ensure he could kill him with absolute certainty.

If I don't break through to the eighth rank now, once his internal injuries heal and he recovers his strength, death will be all that awaits me.

Wang Chong quickly pinched off the beeswax from the elixir.

The rich aroma of herbs wafted through the air, making one's mouth water, and Wang Chong was delighted.

"This pill energy is so abundant, it will definitely help me break through to the eighth rank. Lin Mo, I will definitely break through before you. Once I break through to the eighth rank... Hmph!"

His gaze swept over Lin Mo, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, and a chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes. He then tilted his head back and swallowed the pill.

The pill entered the stomach, and instantly a powerful medicinal force spread throughout the stomach.

Wang Chong immediately felt a knife-like pain. He thought it was because the medicine was too strong and he couldn't absorb it in time, so he quickly sat down cross-legged to regulate his breathing.

Unexpectedly, the abdominal pain did not subside when he circulated the energy, but instead intensified. Eventually, his whole body ached, and he felt as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his heart, causing unbearable pain.

"what!"

Wang Chong collapsed in agony, his body convulsing, in extreme discomfort.

"Hmph!" Lin Mo stood up and slapped his stomach.

puff!

The pill was spit out and landed on the ground.

Wang Chong could clearly see that the pill was covered with a layer of beeswax.

"You...tricked me!" Wang Chong's face was full of indignation, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at him, his voice hoarse as he angrily demanded, "Why couldn't the silver needle detect the poison?"
