Faced with such a scene, Ling Zhou's expression did not change at all. The resistance of a possessed martial artist to soul-stealing martial arts was exaggerated, either almost zero, or so high that others could not understand... Ling Zhou belonged to the latter. Like Chu Jun, she had become indifferent to life and death and naturally had no fear of death.

Therefore, Ji Zhao's consciousness slash only took effect on her for a moment and had almost no impact on the battle situation.

Zheng!

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and two chills collided... In terms of cultivation, and the upper limit of output caused by the difference in bones, Ling Zhou was better. But at this time, because Mo Yu drank Ji Zhao's blood, she still possessed the unique characteristics of the 'true Phoenix Blood'. Under the influence of the drastic emotional fluctuations, the blood in her body began to boil, bringing unprecedented strength. Coupled with Mo Yu's crazy output regardless of consumption and the rapid blessing obtained from the Scarlet God Robe, she actually suppressed Ling Zhou for a while, and with the flash of sword light, she was beaten back again and again!

If it was a one-on-one fight, this kind of suppression would be meaningless and would just be a waste of internal energy. However, Ji Zhao was only injured, but not dead yet!

Ji Zhao did not attack immediately, but lay quietly, waiting for the right opportunity... Mo Yu exchanged seven or eight moves with Ling Zhou. When Mo Yu's courage began to fade, Ling Zhou started to fight back. The gap between their cultivation and swordsmanship was too big. Even if Mo Yu could suppress him for a while, it would be meaningless for the whole battle. In just three or two breaths, Mo Yu, whose internal energy could not keep up, suffered several injuries. Seeing that Ling Zhou was about to kill him, Ji Zhao, who had been lying in wait for a long time, finally found an opportunity.

boom! ! ! !

Ji Zhao did not hold back, his internal energy surged, allowing the wound to burst open, and the power rating reached A+, almost suppressing the Taiyin internal energy. A large-level red moon internal energy completely exploded, and the blood battle pendant was also activated, allowing his blood battle physique to reach or even exceed the level of most warriors listed in the Twenty-Four Heavenly Books!

Without hesitation, Ji Zhao launched a killing move.

Climb the mountain and feel that heroes shed no tears!

The most powerful and domineering palm technique in the world, using the power of martial arts to dominate the world...Heroes don't shed tears. In fact, heroes don't really have tears, but the tears are often hidden in places that people can't see. This move is based on this core concept. A hero is a perfect image. He can bleed, but he won't have tears. If someone sees him, then there is only one outcome...

Ji Zhao's palm strike seemed ordinary and light, but it actually contained murderous intent.

Ling Zhou was a martial artist from Luohe Pavilion. Although he had never learned Deng Lin Yi, he knew this martial art and how powerful it was. Naturally, he was unwilling to take it head-on.

But who is Ji Zhao? He waited for more than ten breaths, and let the advantage that Mo Yu had worked so hard to gain be pushed back little by little by Ling Zhou without taking any action. He did this just to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It was impossible for Ling Zhou to dodge if he wanted to. This palm strike seemed ordinary, but in fact it blocked all of Ling Zhou's space to dodge. If Ling Zhou tried to dodge by force, Ji Zhao would definitely kill her with this palm strike!

This was a real life-threatening question. Ling Zhou sensed the murderous intent in it with his keen sense of smell. He had to give up chasing Mo Yu and instead forced a burst of internal energy, and then he confronted Ji Zhao with his palm.

boom----!

The terrifying force completely erupted at the moment of the fight. Irresistible power was transmitted, and the sound of breaking bones rang out in the silent night, making people's scalps numb.

Deng Lin Yi, the most powerful martial art in the world, coupled with Ji Zhao who has the blessing of the Blood Battle Pendant and has completely unleashed the Red Moon Energy, this move is at the grandmaster level in terms of lethality alone!

The Taiyin internal energy was not a very powerful one to begin with, and Ling Zhou's internal energy was not circulating well because of her fight with Mo Yu. How could she withstand this attack now? In an instant, her arm was broken by Ji Zhao's palm, and it was shattered more thoroughly than Duanmu Qing's. Her figure flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and smashed into the jungle behind her, breaking several trees in succession before she managed to stabilize herself!

Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Snow and Moon: Chapter 88: Blood Kiss

For Ji Zhao, Deng Lin Yi can be regarded as his 'last piece of the puzzle'. This martial art thoroughly combines the advantages of his internal strength, unique characteristics, bloody fighting physique, and combat intuition... However, its shortcomings are also obvious. Xiao Yao Feng had long told Ji Zhao that it not only hurts others, but also hurts oneself.

Ji Zhao's internal energy was so powerful that he didn't even dare to use his full strength in his normal training, not to mention that he was seriously injured at the moment and had been hit by Ling Zhou's sonic martial arts not long ago... Now that he used this move, his blood and energy were churning. He originally wanted to give chase, but after taking a step, his eyes went black and he almost fainted.

Mo Yu didn't care about Ji Zhao's injuries. The situation had already become a fight to the death. Both sides had no regard for the past friendship. She didn't have any extra illusions and immediately launched a pursuit, determined to take Ling Zhou's life.

Ling Zhou's left hand was completely broken by Ji Zhao, and the violent force even injured her internal organs, causing blood to flow from the corner of her mouth. Now her breathing was extremely unstable, but when she saw Mo Yu suddenly coming forward, her expression did not change at all. She grasped the hilt of the sword with her right hand and suddenly threw the sword in her hand!

【“?!”】

Throwing a sword is not a strange move, as many warriors would do this when they are desperate. However, Mo Yu had never expected that this move would come from Ling Zhou. He hurriedly dodged to the side, and Ling Zhou took advantage of this opportunity to attack Ji Zhao who had no ability to resist.

【“…!”】

Whether it was throwing weapons as if they were his life or attacking people who had lost their ability to resist, these were not things that Ling Zhou would do in Mo Yu's memory. She was horrified and at the same time felt an inexplicable sense of loss, as if the person she knew was already dead. She immediately turned around in a hurry... The Scarlet God Robe was extremely powerful, and the inertia of the charge disappeared instantly, allowing Mo Yu to complete the return to the rescue at an incredible speed.

With one arm broken and internal injuries, Ling Zhou, who was in an incomplete physical condition, could never have expected that Mo Yu, who was wearing the scarlet god robe, could react so quickly. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and narrowly avoided Mo Yu's stab. After that, she launched a counterattack based on her rich combat experience. Her right hand reached out like a poisonous snake, avoiding Mo Yu's sword and hitting Mo Yu's wrist with a snap. Then, she leaned against and shook her body, and managed to shake Mo Yu away, and then took her weapon back.

Mo Yu wanted to attack again, but suddenly she felt the lightness in her body slowly fading away. She knew that this was a symbol that the heavenly weapon was no longer exerting its power and Ji Zhao's blood was about to expire.

After careful consideration, Ling Zhou held a sword in his hand. Although Ji Zhao did not faint, she had completely lost her fighting ability and could hardly stand. Although she was in an advantageous position now, Ling Zhou had rich combat experience and knew all her details. Even if they really fought, he might not be able to win. If Ling Zhou made trouble for Ji Zhao, then...

With this thought in mind, Mo Yu had to put away his will to fight, turned around and hugged Ji Zhao, wanting to use the power of the Scarlet God Robe to leave, but as soon as he took a step, the last bit of lightness on his body disappeared without a trace... At the same time, because Mo Yu's movements were a bit rough, Ji Zhao's blood was boiling, and he was about to vomit blood uncontrollably.

————At this time, Ling Zhou was gathering momentum from behind, and it was a race against time. Mo Yu had no time to grab Ji Zhao's fingers and bite them to slowly suck his blood. Suddenly, an idea came to him, and he gritted his teeth while running. Then he held Ji Zhao's head, bent down and kissed him, in this way quickly obtaining Ji Zhao's blood.

【“…?”】

Ling Zhou, who was chasing behind, showed a hint of shock in her eyes. Even though her arm was broken by Ji Zhao's slap before, she just frowned slightly. But now she was so shocked that her movements slowed down by half a second.

Mo Yu didn't care about anything else and quickly raised her head. Perhaps because she had taken in more blood this time, her body quickly became light and agile. Coupled with her excitement, the Scarlet God Robe and the True Phoenix Princess' blood were activated to the extreme, and she ran dozens of meters away in an instant.

Ling Zhou took a step forward to chase him, but as soon as she took a step, the internal injuries left by Ji Zhao's palm began to rage. Deng Linyi's palm technique was indeed the most powerful in the world, with unparalleled power. One palm strike cost her half her life. Now, when she exerted her power a little, she felt her stomach and head churning.

With Ling Zhou's current condition, she is somewhat confident that she can defeat Mo Yu. There is a huge gap in their strength. Even if she lost an arm, she can still win. If the other party wants to protect Ji Zhao, it will be even easier. But to think about chasing Mo Yu, whose body movements are obviously not right, while injured... forget it.

The man looked at Mo Yu and Ji Zhao with a gloomy gaze as they disappeared from his sight.

【"you......"】

......

Dark, cold, death...

The aura of desolation spread, almost swallowing Ji Zhao, as if he had fallen into an icy sea, with a raging torrent surging in and the breath of death so fierce.

"You're awake." Ji Tan said. She was beside Ji Zhao, holding a book as usual, with a normal look on her face. "You're seriously injured this time... Anyway, get some good sleep first."

Fall asleep, what a tempting word, but Ji Zhao didn't dare to fall asleep. He looked at Ji Tan quietly until the other party turned into foam and dissipated... Afterwards, what appeared in Ji Zhao's eyes was a tree with few leaves left. The last few leaves hanging on the tree were like Ji Zhao's life, like a candle in the wind.

Ji Zhao opened his eyes wide...it was already daybreak. He didn't know where Mo Yu had taken him. His throat was extremely dry and there was a taste of rust. He subconsciously looked to the side, but as soon as he moved, he felt a piercing pain in his chest. Even a tough guy like Ji Zhao felt so much pain that sweat broke out on his forehead.

【".....This is?"】

Just when Ji Zhao was finding it hard to accept it, a cool feeling spread out. Ji Zhao felt it carefully for a while and came to his senses. This was Han Gongqiu's elixir, but he had fainted yesterday. How could he chew the elixir to digest the medicinal properties? Even if someone stuffed it into his mouth, he could not swallow it.

[“Is it Master Mo…?”]

Ji Zhao turned his head and saw Mo Yu lying beside him exhausted, having fallen into a deep sleep. Her boots were covered in mud, her face was dusty, and her body had some injuries. She must have been extremely tired after traveling for a long time last night... If you look more closely, you can see some tear marks on her face, which probably means she had a few breakdowns last night.

Ji Zhao took a deep breath, his face expressionless. He did not even have a moment to complain about the world or feel sad about the passing of time. He immediately sat cross-legged and began to circulate his internal energy to digest the power of the medicine.

Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Moon and Snow: Chapter 89: The Desire for Victory Soars to the Sky

Ji Zhao's body had been washed by Hongyue Sanren with a medicine worth a thousand gold coins, and he was much better than ordinary warriors in many aspects. An ordinary person with this injury, and after a night of tossing and turning, would not be able to die at this time, and would only be able to exhale but not breathe in... However, Ji Zhao managed to survive with his bloody physique and willpower, and began to suppress his injuries with the help of medicine.

Among them, 'Adversity' contributed greatly. Although it is a combat feature, it is not like Duel and Musou which can only be triggered in combat. Ji Zhao's basic adversity is only lv6, but the unique feature is raised by one level, and the Blood Battle Pendant is raised by one level. When the Blood Battle Pendant is turned on, this feature is stabilized at lv8. The super high damage reduction brought Ji Zhao a glimmer of hope and prevented his injuries from continuing to worsen... Perhaps it is because in the game, damage reduction will take effect on debuffs such as 'bleeding' and 'serious injuries'.

Therefore, Ji Zhao who activated the Blood Battle Pendant was like someone who had unlocked his blood. Although he was already very weak and was still committing suicide, his injuries did not continue to worsen... As for the price, it was undoubtedly the backlash of the Blood Battle Pendant, but at this point he really couldn't care less.

"call......"

The power of internal energy is often proportional to the ability to digest the medicine. Moreover, this medicine has been in Ji Zhao's stomach for half a day. Now Ji Zhao has easily absorbed all the medicinal power, and the pain in his chest has been slightly relieved... Perhaps it was because Hongyue's internal energy fluctuated when he was finishing the exercise. The sleeping environment was so bad that Mo Yu, who was unable to enter a deep sleep, groaned and woke up. Looking at his appearance, not only did he look listless, but his eyes also lacked luster.

Ji Zhao was not unable to understand. He fainted last night, and Mo Yu was wandering in the jungle alone. He might have encountered several waves of zombies and mutated insects. These two things are definitely not strong, but they look scary enough. Mo Yu has to protect him and face such scary things. The loneliness and fear in her heart must be unimaginable to others... However, if it was the previous Mo Yu, she would quickly put away this expression after waking up, because she is the teacher and cannot show such a weak expression in front of her disciples.

But now, even when she met Ji Zhao's eyes, her expression did not change for a long time...

"Ji Zhao...will we die?" Mo Yu's voice was a little tired and confused, revealing a bit of fear and anxiety about the future. "We will die here silently...without even knowing why we are dying."

Not even knowing why he died, this is too sad and too hard to accept for a warrior, no, for anyone... Duanmu Qing acted so decisively that he did not give Ji Zhao and Mo Yu any chance to investigate further. He would not wait until the truth came out before making a desperate attempt with no other way out. Just because the two of them showed some threats that they themselves could not understand at some point, Duanmu Qing acted decisively, seriously injuring Ji Zhao and throwing the two of them into the abyss.

Having said that, Ji Zhao and Mo Yu were not completely unable to guess Duanmu Qing and Ling Zhou's purpose... Just based on what was in front of them, what the bug could do was enough to make people imagine many dark and terrifying uses, but they just couldn't get confirmation from the two people.

Ji Zhao was silent for a long time, holding Mo Yu's slender hand, which was stained with dust, dirt, and dried blood. It was not clean, and there was nothing that could make people excited. But Ji Zhao held it tightly, as if it was an invaluable treasure.

"No one of us will die."

Ji Zhao squeezed out these seven words word by word from his throat... Two years ago, in Anchun County, he said the same words to Ji Bei and Ji Tan. At that time, he fulfilled his promise and dominated the outcome of a siege with his frail body, capturing a drop of life from the desperate situation of death.

So far, Ji Zhao has fulfilled all the promises in his life, and this time is no exception!

Ji Zhao stared straight at Mo Yu, his determination never faded.

When Mo Yu heard these words which sounded like complete nonsense to outsiders, he did not show any surprise. Instead, he stretched out the other hand that was not held by Ji Zhao and gently stroked Ji Zhao's cheek.

"Ji Zhao... you are so strong. Although I have always listened to my brother and Han Gongqiu's talk before, I still couldn't understand it. Now I understand a little bit. No matter what kind of situation you face, you can cheer up at an incredible speed..."

Mo Yu's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice choked up. "I'm dying. I'm so scared. Last night I was thinking, what if I die here? I won't feel anything. This world has nothing to do with me anymore. No matter how many interesting things happen in the future, they have nothing to do with me... Every time I have this thought, I get scared."

Mo Yu's emotions collapsed. She choked up first, then burst into tears. The sudden change, the two elders she trusted and respected turning against each other, and the running and fighting all night long, all these completely broke down Mo Yu's defenses... And in front of Ji Zhao, she didn't need to pretend to be strong anymore, regardless of their identities as teacher and disciple, because Ji Zhao was stronger and could tolerate her weakness.

Amid the low sobs, Ji Zhao finally let go of everything, reached out to take Mo Yu into his arms, and hugged her tightly... At this moment, he didn't want to think about anything else.

"...will win!"

The final outcome is destruction. There is no point in saving him now, as it will only make things more painful in the future... Ji Zhao didn't want to think about anything. If he were calmer, he would definitely remember what he had said to Hongyue Sanren. For a story, is the ending the only important thing? But he couldn't calm down.

In this hug that was so short that it seemed like an instant, yet so long that it seemed like a lifetime ago, Ji Zhao and Mo Yu saw Duanmu Qing and Wu Ao attacking each other from behind... They caught up with them, and attacked them from both sides.

It came so fast and so fiercely, with wave after wave of attacks, leaving no chance for anyone to breathe.

Mo Yu seemed to have a lot more to say, but in the end she just reached out and wanted to take off the red robe and hand it to Ji Zhao, but was stopped by Ji Zhao.

"I will win even without this dress... Master Mo, you will die without this dress."

Mo Yu did not argue with Ji Zhao, but quietly accepted Ji Zhao's arrangement. She bit Ji Zhao's finger and sucked the blood.

"...to survive."

"Yeah, so is Master Mo."

Ji Zhao and Mo Yu stood up, the former turning his gaze towards the attacking Wu Ao.

Eight years passed in reality and two years in the alien world. Ten years had passed since that battle. Ji Zhao's blood was boiling again. The sound of his violently beating heart was deafening, filling his entire brain.

He closed his eyes, then opened them again, with scarlet blood flowing in them.

The desire for victory is soaring to the sky...!

[Ji Zhao: A new entry has been added to True Phoenix Blood: "When fighting under the sun, all attributes are increased to a certain extent, and the recovery ability is greatly improved."]

[Ji Zhao: Randomly overwrote one of the original body's obsessions with overwhelming obsession, and preempted the completion of that obsession with the determination to win, Outsider (1/4) → Outsider (2/4)]

[Ji Zhao: Outsiders (2/4), new entry 'All public characteristics of level 9 and above that you possess are not counted in the 'level 9' uniqueness of this world']

Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Snow and Moon: Chapter 90: The Confused Man

Without much words, Ji Zhao took a step ahead of Mo Yu and ran towards the stronger but uninjured Wu Ao. Mo Yu did not try to be brave and turned around to meet Duanmu Qing.

Before Ling Zhou appeared, they still had the idea of ​​escaping, but after Ling Zhou appeared, escape became the stupidest strategy... Now that things have come to this, they can only give it a try before the enemy's personnel have gathered.

This was not an impulse, but a well-considered choice made by Ji Zhao and Mo Yu. Duanmu Qing's arm was injured. Although he was a doctor and his injury was not as serious as Ling Zhou's, it was impossible for him to fully recover in just one night. Moreover, these two people did not have the Scarlet Divine Robe and would surely be exhausted after traveling all night. If they did not take action now, when would they act?

"Duanmu Qing..." Mo Yu did not call him uncle anymore. She borrowed the courage from Ji Zhao. Now her face was expressionless and her eyes were cold. "I will ask you one last question...why?"

Duanmu Qing came back to his senses from what had just happened. Even though he was a little concerned, now was not the time to talk about that kind of thing.

"Do you still remember what Ji Zhao said to you... Mo Yu, if you saw him use that move but didn't feel anything, then you probably couldn't learn it. It's the same here. You've clearly seen the power of manipulating people's hearts, but you still ask me why... Both me and Master Ling have too many things we want to do. Unfortunately, we are all ordinary people, unlike the kid over there and Liu Hanying. They are people favored by God, always full of vigor and energy, and omnipotent. If we want to achieve our goals, we can only dirty our hands and use methods that our former selves would disdain..."

Duanmu Qing was obviously not as crazy as Ling Zhou. At least he was clearly aware that what he was doing was sinful.

"Why do you always avoid answering?" Mo Yu's sharp eyes were mixed with a trace of sadness. "I'm not asking why you do this, but what you do it for... After gaining power, what do you want to do? What is it that you have to do even if it costs you so much that you dirty your heart and hands?"

"......" Duanmu Qing saw the sadness in Mo Yu's eyes, and his heart suddenly ached. He was silent for a few breaths, and finally spoke word by word, "Mo Yu, I have told a lot of lies these days, but there is also one truth among them... I like Master Ling, always have."

A few days ago, Duanmu Qing told this sentence in a joking tone as a funny story from his youth. Neither Ji Zhao nor Mo Yu took it too seriously, but this was indeed one of the few true words that Duanmu Qing said.

Mo Yu gritted his teeth: "Just because of this——"

"However!" Duanmu Qing suddenly raised his voice and interrupted Mo Yu's words. His voice did not contain the hysterical madness of being at the end of one's rope. Instead, it carried an inexplicable calmness that made people feel cold in their hearts. "No one has ever looked at me straight in the eye..."

"Liu Hanying, Liu Hanying! Liu! Han! Ying! One by one, everyone only knows Liu Hanying! He is great! There is nothing wrong with him from beginning to end. I wanted to hate him several times, but failed in the end... I couldn't even feel jealous."

Duanmu Qing said the last sentence almost in a tone of pity for himself.

"At that time, everyone in Luohe Pavilion knew that Liu Hanying and I liked Master Ling... Unlike other disciples, it was not admiration for her beauty, but a deeper love that we hoped to spend our lives together... Then, for a while, their situation was somewhat noticed, and Liu Hanying was called away by his master and lectured every day. The same was true for Master Ling. The Pavilion Master at that time would talk to her from time to time, hoping that she would not do anything stupid. What about me?"

Duanmu Qing looked at Mo Yu and smiled bitterly.

"No one came to see me... No one cared about me, no one said anything to me, no one warned me about anything. My existence, my thoughts, everything about me... It was as if I didn't exist."

Mo Yu's heart felt like it was being gripped by someone, and he suddenly became speechless.

The smile on Duanmu Qing's face slowly disappeared. His eyes were somewhat complicated. He looked at the sky in the distance and slowly said, "Moyu... There are some things that perhaps only you can understand. To this day, I still like Master Ling and want to be with her, but this is not the main reason why I do things for her. You met Master Ling last night, she was crazy, she was too obsessed with Liu Hanying, and under the backlash of the Taiyin True Art, she was swallowed up by her own obsession. I said that I wanted to find the Soul-Dangling Pearl, and the person I wanted to save was Master Ling, but in the end I couldn't find it, and Master Ling had made up her mind."

"You asked me why I did this... To be honest, I can't really explain it myself. I did this for too many reasons. I wanted to help Master Ling, I wanted to be with Master Ling, I wanted to prove my existence, I wanted Liu Hanying and everyone else to look at me squarely, I wanted Liu Hanying to regret it, I wanted to use this to gain power and status, I wanted to study this to gain a longer life, and I even wanted to use this to force the owner of the Soul-Dangling Pearl to heal Master Ling, I wanted to use this to force Ning Ren to retreat, and achieve a career that will last for generations... However, when you asked me the question just now, I couldn't answer anything."

Duanmu Qing paused and lowered his voice.

"None of these reasons seem to be decisive. My love for Master Ling doesn't seem to be enough to help her do such a crazy thing. I don't hate Liu Hanying that much. I must have some inferiority complex, but is it to this extent? As for achieving success, I certainly have such a desire. I want to do all the things mentioned above, but I always feel that it is not necessary to do it to this extent. However, when Master Ling came to me, I still agreed and did all this... Maybe it's because I'm not as kind as I think I am. My moral bottom line is so low that I don't care about these things at all."

"But what do I want to do?"

When Duanmu Qing said this, he suddenly closed his eyes and slowly drew out the long sword from his waist.

"I don't know... The day before yesterday, Ji Zhao said something very interesting when we were chatting. He said, 'The hardest thing for people to see clearly is often themselves.' Then he said, 'Perhaps only when a person is about to die can he recognize his own heart.' It's really amazing that a person can only understand why he lives before he dies."

Duanmu Qing called softly: "Moyu...can you make me understand?"

Mo Yu drew out her sword…Her sword was taken away yesterday, but Ji Zhao went out with a sword, and this sword was now given to her.

She said word by word: "Duanmu Qing...you said Master Ling was crazy, but in my opinion, you are the same."

"Is there...?"

"Hmm." Mo Yu responded softly, his palm brushed across the long sword, and the cold and gloomy Taiyin internal energy burst out.

"You'll soon understand..."
