"You should have known your place as my vessel!"
"Now feel the despair!"
Just as Wu Taeyong shouted arrogantly, a voice suddenly interrupted him.
"Hmm~ Very scary~"
"But it’s time I put an end to your show."
Wu Taeyong snapped his head toward the direction of the voice. His vision was only just beginning to recover.
"The cage should have isolated your voice and spiritual sense. Does that mean you managed to escape the cage?"
His expression became solemn.
"As expected of a genius. You actually managed to break through my perfect masterpiece."
A sinister smile appeared on his face.
"Too bad you’re too late. Your woman is already dead."
To be honest, Wu Taeyong was shocked when he heard Su Mo’s voice. However, his mind reacted quickly. He deliberately stalled Su Mo with his words, buying enough time for his vision to recover.
And it did.
But when his vision finally cleared and he saw what was in front of him, Wu Taeyong froze.
"All that’s left is this corpse—WHAT THE HELL?!"
His eyes widened in disbelief.
Yang Qingxi was standing beside Su Mo, perfectly fine, with Su Mo casually holding her around the waist with one arm.
And with his other hand...
He was leisurely drinking tea?!
"How is she alive?!"
Wu Taeyong looked at the body lying on the ground.
The one whose neck he had just snapped.
It wasn’t Yang Qingxi as he was expected. Rather, it was the corpse of a Pishacha.
"Impossible!"
His eyes widened further.
"How did you save her in that situation?! What happened when I was blinded?!"
Su Mo casually took another sip of tea.
"Ah~ I just switched her with a Pishacha."
He shrugged.
"Don’t mind it."
"You—!"
Wu Taeyong glared at him angrily, but there was also a hint of wariness in his eyes.
Su Mo finished his tea and calmly spoke.
"Now that your vision has recovered..."
"Can we start?"
Wu Taeyong’s expression became grave.
"If you knew I was stalling, why didn’t you stop me?"
Su Mo put the teacup into his storage ring.
"That’s because you weren’t the only one stalling for time."
"I was also using this time to get familiar with my new abilities."
The moment his words fell, his crimson pupils flashed.
The next second—
Su Mo disappeared.
!!!
Wu Taeyong’s expression changed.
An extreme sense of danger surged from behind him.
He turned around.
But it was already too late.
Su Mo had appeared behind him at some point, a blade of light condensed in his hand.
Slash!
The blade swept across Wu Taeyong’s back.
"GAHH!"
Boom!
Wu Taeyong was blasted away.
Su Mo didn’t continue attacking.
He had sensed that the condition of the others was too serious.
Snake and Qingxi’s granduncle were both on their last breaths.
His figure disappeared again.
The next moment, he appeared beside Shen Kai amidst the rubble.
The sight of him made Su Mo’s expression become solemn. A huge gash stretched across his torso, with part of his organs already spilling out.
The fact that he was still alive in such a condition was practically a miracle.
Su Mo immediately used his Healing Technique.
A green glow enveloped Shen Kai. His horrifying injuries rapidly recovered.
Within a few seconds, his body had completely healed. But, he remained unconscious.
Su Mo immediately sent a spiritual message.
["Qingxi, wake him up. I’ll heal the others."]
["Okay! Also... thanks for saving me. Su Mo..."]
["No need. I did it for myself."]
["Huh?"]
Yang Qingxi was perplexed.
But Su Mo had already cut the spiritual connection without bothering to explain.
He closed his eyes for a moment, feeling the effects of the Enlightenment Tea.
Yes.
The tea he had been drinking just now was the Enlightenment Tea.
He didn’t have enough time to slowly develop his newly acquired techniques and abilities.
Moreover, the situation was urgent.
So he had chosen to use the Enlightenment Tea.
After drinking it, his mind felt incredibly refreshed. The mental fatigue he had accumulated was swept away.
His thoughts became clearer and his brain worked fast.
He focused on the three abilities he needed most.
Void Manipulation,
Devil Phantom Manifestation,
And Light Manipulation.
While in the state of enlightenment, he was able to develop powerful applications of them almost instantly.
The short-range teleportation and object displacement were two such applications.
That was how everything had just happened.
He had teleported out of the cage, caught a Pishacha, and used his displacement ability to switch it with Yang Qingxi.
That was how he had saved her.
And now, after a few more sips of the Enlightenment Tea, he had developed several more powerful applications.
He was going to try them in his next fight with Wu Taeyong.
’Hmm...’
’Before that, let’s save the others.’
Su Mo picked up several small pebbles from the ground.
The next moment, he activated his displacement ability.
The pebbles instantly switched places with the cultivators who were still alive.
Then he gave all of them a wave of his Healing Technique.
Green light enveloped the injured cultivators, rapidly stabilizing their conditions.
"You all stay here and watch out for the Pishachas."
The cultivators nodded.
They knew perfectly well that they couldn’t get involved in the next battle.
They had already witnessed Wu Taeyong’s strength and understood the difference between them.
Nobody was stupid enough to suggest fighting alongside Su Mo and becoming an unnecessary distraction.
The best help they could provide was to stay out of his way and prevent the remaining Pishachas from interfering.
Of course...
Dowblis Snake was an exception.
After recovering, he immediately stood up.
"Master, do you need me for support? I can do sneak attacks."
"No need."
Su Mo shook his head.
"This time, I alone am enough."
"Just stay here and rest."
After speaking, his figure disappeared.
The other side—
"AAGH!"
Wu Taeyong stood up grunting as burning pain spread across his back. He gritted his teeth.
"Damn it!"
"A Yang Element technique!"
"So~ Yang Techniques are your weakness..."
