There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

Now, go all out and move as fast as you can!

Jiang Mo gave himself a command in his heart, and the rapidly circulating internal energy flowed to his wrist, stimulating the beast-driving gu hidden in his sleeve, causing it to awaken from its dormancy.

It causes a slight itching and stinging sensation.

Like being bitten by a mosquito unexpectedly, a special kind of poison was injected into Jiang Mo's body, stimulating the muscles all over his body and breaking the invisible shackles.

Phoenix Dance in Six Illusions!

Whether it's internal strength or physical strength.

Jiang Mo used special methods to adjust his energy and spirit to their peak, and resolutely used the ultimate skill that he had only been practicing and had not yet fully mastered.

The profound moves that were passed down along with "Riding the Wind and Embracing the Moon".

Its significance to the Hundred Birds Organization is comparable to that of the Hundred Steps Flying Sword and the Horizontal Sweep in the Guigu School.

It can be considered the highest level of martial arts secrets.

Perhaps because the speed he unleashed was too astonishing, exceeding the limits of his body's current capacity, Jiang Mo instantly felt unbearable pain coursing through his entire body, from head to toe.

It felt as if my whole body was about to be torn into pieces.

But this did not diminish Jiang Mo's determination in the slightest. With an almost hysterical frenzy, he still insisted on unleashing the Phoenix Dance Six Illusions.

In an instant, Hu Meier felt a blur before her eyes.

Jiang Mo, who had jumped out of the window, suddenly seemed to have used a clone technique, transforming into three identical figures with different movements.

Whether dodging or evading, attacking and defending simultaneously...

This was Jiang Mo's answer after deep thought.

Faced with the choice between dodging and blocking, he chose to have it all! He even went so far as to unleash his full power in the process, proving his true manly nature.

This situation was truly beyond Chunlan's expectations.

This kind of technique, which is like creating a clone, may not be unheard of or unseen before, but it is by no means something that just anyone can easily perform.

Even a seasoned shaman would need to make thorough preparations beforehand, especially in the Baiyue region.

For example, by gathering a wave of faith, this miraculous feat can be accomplished.

In previous encounters, Jiang Mo always made a quick getaway, and even suffered a loss at Chunlan's hands when caught off guard, leading the latter to believe that he was just a cunning little thief with no other strengths besides being fast.

I never imagined that he possessed such amazing skills!

Careless!

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Jiang Mo had already parried the whip that Chunlan was wielding.

That sneak attack, which should have been fatal, ultimately didn't even scratch Jiang Mo's face.

However, the breathtaking technique of creating clones was only a fleeting moment. Jiang Mo, who forcefully unleashed the Phoenix Dance Six Illusions, ultimately lacked the strength to continue supporting this astonishing skill.

But Chunlan was not happy about this at all.

Because Jiang Mo had already taken advantage of the burst of energy brought about by the Six Illusions of Phoenix Dance in that instant, broke through her blockade, rushed to Hu Meier's side, and pressed down on her shoulder.

Damn!

That bastard actually dared to lay a hand on the young lady!

Let go of your filthy hands right now, or I'll chop off your dog paws!!!

Chunlan's eyes were bloodshot, and she wished she could immediately rush forward and fight Jiang Mo to the death at any cost.

"Don't make any rash moves! If you want your young lady to be safe..."

Even though his legs were trembling with exhaustion, Jiang Mo still spoke with great confidence while holding the hostage.

His gaze swept over the people surrounding him, and he stated his demands directly:

"Let me leave the manor, and I'll release your young lady immediately. Otherwise... hmph, I can't guarantee what I might do if I'm cornered!"

Hu Meier, who was under someone else's control, also cooperated very well.

Not only did she immediately order everyone to disperse with the agility of the second young lady of the manor, but she also revealed a panicked look with teary eyes, making Chunlan and the others dare not make any rash moves.

Until the two successfully evacuated from the villa.

The look of utter bewilderment on her pretty face suddenly turned cold again.

"Let go!"

She glared at Jiang Mo and scolded him in a coquettish voice, showing no awareness of being a hostage. The miniature crossbow hidden in her sleeve was pushed forward again and pressed tightly against Jiang Mo's waist.

"Hiss, don't get so excited, Miss, don't let things go wrong."

Jiang Mo, who was originally the kidnapper, reluctantly released his fingers from the other person's shoulder.

He raised his hands high, giving a French military salute to show his surrender.

The balance of power seems to have shifted once again.

Chapter 9 Take a look at this treasure

Since ancient times, heroes have been sad for beauty.

Jiang Mo never expected that this statement would be proven true in his own life by being "held hostage".

On the surface, it appears that Jiang Mo did indeed capture Hu Meier.

However, only the two parties involved knew the truth: the moment Jiang Mo's hand touched Hu Meier's shoulder, a sharp object was already pressed against his side.

If it weren't for strong mental fortitude, I probably would have suddenly turned pale on the spot.

Based solely on the sensation from his side, Jiang Mo couldn't identify the object clearly; he could only roughly guess that it was a crossbow bolt.

And these weren't ordinary crossbow bolts.

Even though the crossbow bolts were hidden by layers of clothing and I never actually saw the cold glint on their surface, their sharpness was still very clear.

This caused Jiang Mo to feel a chill run down his spine.

With no one else observing, and in order to further intimidate Jiang Mo, Hu Meier stopped hiding the crossbow bolt in her sleeve.

That was clearly a specially made crossbow.

Compared to the powerful crossbows carried by the guards of Fire Rain Manor, this mechanical crossbow was quite small and exquisite, like a miniature pistol that could be easily concealed on one's person, but the power it unleashed was still quite deadly.

Especially the crossbow bolts that were already loaded.

Jiang Mo's eyelids twitched uncontrollably for a while after watching this.

The golden arrowhead had a crystalline texture, clearly not made from ordinary iron ore.

Mystic crystal arrow.

Jiang Mo had never experienced the power of this thing firsthand, but he had seen it sold in places like underground black markets. It was said that once the crystal-like arrow entered the body, it would immediately explode in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, it can leave the internal organs in a state of utter devastation.

Even the most skilled doctor probably couldn't heal such a horrific injury.

At this moment, Jiang Mo was truly glad that he hadn't chosen to use force when he realized that Hu Meier was hiding a weapon.

Otherwise, their fate would be uncertain right now.

Logically speaking, Jiang Mo, who failed to take a hostage and was instead coerced by the other party, had completely lost the initiative. After Hu Meier gave the order, he was pinned to the ground by ten or eight burly men.

Fortunately, Jiang Mo reacted very quickly.

In that life-or-death moment, he quickly lowered his voice and said something to Hu Meier, successfully changing their extremely unfavorable situation:

"Second Miss, you don't want people to know what you're hiding, do you?"

As he said this, Jiang Mo glanced at his own chest, indicating that if he were captured, he would not only hand over the stolen goods in his arms, but also embellish the story to describe what Hu Meier was planning to do with these things.

I don't know where that tacit understanding came from.

Despite having only exchanged a few fleeting glances, Hu Meier instantly understood Jiang Mo's meaning.

He immediately returned a fierce glare.

Of course, that's just her opinion.

In Jiang Mo's eyes, the way Hu Meier tried to make a fierce face to threaten the other party was actually quite cute when done by such a beauty.

He would be even cuter if there wasn't a crossbow pointed at his waist.

Stealing someone's undergarments and then saying, "Miss, you wouldn't want your family to know about your hidden filthy items, would you?" makes Jiang Mo seem even more like a pervert.

But you have to admit that sometimes such threats are indeed very effective.

It is even more effective than threatening lives.

A life of bloodshed and violence was far too distant for a pampered young lady like Hu Meier.

She didn't truly understand how painful death was.

In contrast, the threat of social death is almost the same for everyone. Unless, there is no one left in the world you care about.

Hu Meier is clearly not among them.

So, despite being filled with resentment and unwillingness, she still yielded and submitted to Jiang Mo's threatening remarks.

The two put on a charade in front of everyone at the resort.

With Jiang Mo leading the way, they quickly slipped away.

However, Hu Meier clearly had no intention of letting Jiang Mo off easily. Once they were away from the danger of dying in public, she immediately pointed her crossbow at Jiang Mo like a female bandit, ordering him to hand over everything immediately:

"Be quick and don't try any tricks."

"Alright, alright, don't get excited, Miss Second, you mustn't get excited. If things go wrong, it's no joke!"

Jiang Mo, with his hands raised, nodded repeatedly to show that he would cooperate fully.

Hearing his words, Hu Meier couldn't help but frown and mutter in surprise, "Wiping the gun... accidentally discharging?"

"Guns and fire, what do those two things have to do with each other? And what kind of language are you speaking?"

Hu Meier frowned, her pretty face showing a blank expression of confusion, clearly not understanding what the phrase "accidental discharge" meant.

Jiang Mo looked slightly embarrassed, realizing that he had accidentally used an advanced word again.
