Chapter 189 The Underworld Emperor Retreats
Shi Luoyi's eyes were still trembling.
Qin Mo did not turn around, his fingers slowly tightening around the sword hilt.
There were no footsteps on the ground behind him, but a force pressed down on his shoulders and back, and even the ashes of the corpses around him slid along the ground.
When Shi Luoyi saw that figure, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Help me!"
He shouted with all his might, and his mouth split open, revealing a row of bloodstained teeth.
Qin Mo's eyelids twitched.
This old man wasn't asking for help; he wanted to make himself move first.
As long as he turns around, the Underworld Emperor's first attack will land on him, and the Corpse Robe will be able to escape in the chaos.
Qin Mo shifted his toes back half an inch, but the sword's edge remained pressed against Shi Luoyi's throat.
No matter how loudly you shout, no one will take this slap for you.
Shi Luoyi's smile froze for a moment.
"The person behind you won't give you a chance to speak."
As soon as he finished speaking, the corpse energy behind Qin Mo suddenly receded.
That force didn't erupt; instead, it was suppressed even further.
Qin Mo's neck hairs stood on end, his Five Elements Golden Body began to operate on its own, and the five-colored blood and qi in his body quickly sank into his bones.
Just as he was about to use the momentum to shift to the side, a bowstring suddenly rang out from afar.
boom!
Purple lightning pierced through the corpse mist, illuminating half of the canyon.
Amidst the lightning, a long, dark purple arrow grazed past Qin Mo's shoulder, its tail trailing several feet of lightning before striking the Emperor of Life and Death squarely in the chest.
The Underworld Emperor's body was thrown off the ground by the lightning and flew backward, smashing through three rocks in succession.
The flesh on its chest was torn apart by the electric arc, large areas of the dark gold corpse patterns were extinguished, and the blue corpse fire was also suppressed.
Qin Mo turned around.
A woman dressed in black stood above the corpse mist.
She wore a black veil, her long hair was tied back, and the purple longbow in her hand was still crackling with electricity.
The bow had no bowstring, yet lightning gathered at both ends on its own.
The woman withdrew her arm and glanced at Qin Mo first.
"I took that blow for you."
Qin Mo looked down at the tear in his clothes on his shoulder, which had been cut by lightning.
"Your arrow grazed past me."
The woman's hand stopped on the bow.
Qin Mo raised his eyes, his tone calm: "You saw me a long time ago. You wanted to shoot the Underworld Emperor, but you also wanted to use my position to force it to reveal a weakness. Saving my life was a pretense; using me as bait was your real intention."
Shi Luoyi turned pale upon hearing this, and slowly shrank into the rubble.
The woman offered no explanation, her gaze from behind the black veil falling on Shi Luoyi.
"I saved your life."
"He just hasn't had a chance to kill yet."
Qin Mo withdrew his sword, his feet sinking as his body retreated more than ten feet.
The woman frowned slightly: "Why are you running?"
"If you run too slow, are you waiting to collect your corpse?"
Qin Mo did not stop.
The divine eye of heaven and earth has already been opened.
The lightning on the Emperor of the Underworld's chest was receding, but there was still vigorous life beneath the flesh on his right side, and the corpse fire within the skeleton on his left side had not been extinguished.
The two forces were suppressed on one side and then regrouped on the other, and their strength did not drop to the point where they could not move.
The monster was severely injured, but still had the strength to kill.
Qin Mo turned and left.
"stop!"
The woman raised her bow and shouted.
Qin Mo didn't even turn his head: "If you want to kill it, stay behind yourself."
The sound of rolling stones came from behind.
The King of Life and Death stood up from the pile of rubble.
Its chest had collapsed in a large area, black smoke was billowing from one shoulder, but the bloodshot color in its right eye had returned.
It looked down at the arrow in its chest, its five fingers gripping the shaft, but it didn't pull it out immediately.
The woman raised her hand and drew out the second arrow.
This arrow is thicker, with a dark purple shaft and an surface covered with ancient wood grain.
Lightning traveled along the wood grain, and the surrounding corpse mist struck the arrow tip, immediately producing a series of soft popping sounds.
"An arrow to ward off evil, made of ten-thousand-year-old thunderwood." The woman stared at the Underworld Emperor. "That last strike didn't pierce you, let's see how long you can last this time."
The Underworld Emperor looked up at her.
It didn't rush through; instead, the bones beneath its feet shattered, and its body suddenly rose from the ground, hurtling towards the other end of the canyon.
Qin Mo turned around and glanced back.
The Underworld Emperor is retreating.
It wasn't that they were afraid of all the cultivators, but rather that they were hiding from that bow.
The woman chuckled softly, and the Thunderwood Arrow flew from her hand.
The purple light stretched straight in mid-air, piercing through layers of corpse mist, and caught up with the back of the Underworld Emperor's head.
The arrowhead struck the skull, and lightning pierced through the forehead, exploding along the left eye socket.
The soul fire in the left eye of the Underworld Emperor was instantly shattered, and several cracks appeared on half of his head.
Its body tumbled through the air and crashed straight into a broken mountain, sending debris flying into the air once more.
Qin Mo paused for a moment.
This woman's arrows are indeed effective against corpses.
But this also forced everyone hiding nearby to come out.
On the right side of the corpse slope, three Golden Core cultivators simultaneously soared into the sky.
On the other side of the canyon, an old man in a gray robe crushed a teleportation talisman and led two disciples straight towards Broken Mountain.
Further away, a cyan flying sword pierced through the corpse mist, revealing two figures standing on it.
They had been hiding, waiting for the Underworld Emperor and the woman in black to both be severely injured.
Now that the Underworld Emperor is seriously injured and the Thunderwood Arrow has shown its power, everyone wants to seize the last blow.
"That Underworld Emperor is mine!"
"Whoever gets the Corpse Crystal first gets to keep it!"
"Get out of here!"
Several voices rang out at the same time, and magical artifacts and spells bombarded the broken mountain together.
The woman in black's expression changed, and she immediately raised the purple lightning longbow in her hand.
A curtain of lightning stretched across the crowd, and when the lightning struck the ground, it blasted out more than a dozen deep craters.
The three Golden Core cultivators at the forefront were forced to stop, their protective spiritual light flashing continuously.
The woman stood in front of the thunder curtain, her black veil lifted by the wind, revealing half of her delicate face.
"Give them all a refund."
An old man in a gray robe refused to stop and raised his palm to strike the thunder curtain.
The woman gripped the bow arm with her five fingers, and lightning on the bow gathered into the shape of an arrow.
"Take one more step forward, and I'll take you down first."
The old man's hand stopped in mid-air.
He glanced at the crater in the ground, then at the purple lightning longbow, his Adam's apple bobbed, and finally withdrew his spiritual power.
The woman took a step forward, her voice echoing throughout the canyon.
"Leize Sikong Shi, Sikong Ji."
She raised the tip of her bow and pointed it at the ruins of the broken mountain.
"This Hades is my prey. Whoever dares to take it, I'll shoot them first."
From a distance, Qin Mo watched this scene unfold, wiping the black ash off the sword with his fingers.
Sikong Ji turned his head to look at him: "Aren't you leaving yet?"
"Didn't you want to repay a debt of gratitude?" Qin Mo said, "Then stop these people for me."
Sikong Ji's eye twitched.
"You certainly know how to boss around your savior."
"Tit for tat. You used me as bait, and I used you to block my way. We're even."
Qin Mo turned and disappeared into the corpse mist.
Deep within the Broken Mountain, the Underworld Emperor's right eye reopened.
It reached out and pulled the thunderwood arrow from its head, and a large plume of black smoke immediately billowed from the wound.
Sikong Ji, in the distance, drew his bow again, and thunder roared across the canyon.
The Underworld Emperor glanced at her, then turned and plunged into the deeper fog of corpses, his figure quickly disappearing from sight.
Sikong Ji did not pursue.
She stared in the direction Qin Mo had left, and lightly tapped her bow with her fingertips.
"They run fast."
Shi Luoyi lay prone among the rubble. Upon hearing these words, her gaze slowly turned to the spot where Qin Mo had disappeared.
He is not dead yet, and neither is Qin Mo.
But that thing that drove the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect and all the powerful figures around them crazy has already been taken away by Qin Mo.
Sikong Ji raised his hand and put away the Thunderwood Arrow, but the thunder curtain did not dissipate.
"Everyone, stay."
She gazed at the ashes scattered on the ground, her voice hushed.
"Anyone who touches anything belonging to the Underworld Emperor is not leaving."
