Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 117: The Dove and The Hawk



Having experienced the trials and tribulations of the prairie, Chu Mo had long understood the principle that a tiger returning to the mountain always meant endless trouble. He was determined to disable the man once and for all!

Seemingly having regained his senses, Hua Nan let out a grief-stricken and enraged roar. His whole body flew backward in an instant, turning into a streak of light and disappearing from Chu Mo's view at an unimaginable speed.

The severed arm was still lying on the ground, a faint smell of blood in the air.

Chu Mo could not help but sigh softly, murmuring, "The gap in realm still matters, if he and I were at the same rank, how could he possibly escape under my nose?"

Having said that, he turned to look at the petrified Sun Yifei.

"Ah!" Sun Yifei let out a scream of extreme fright and turned to run in the direction Hua Nan had escaped, fleeing madly.

Chu Mo shook his head, looking at Miao Yi Niang and said, "They've all run away."

Miao Yi Niang looked at Chu Mo, saying nothing.

Chu Yan was looking at Chu Mo, her beautiful eyes full of admiration.

On New Year's Eve, when Chu Mo defeated the old man who came to assassinate him, one might say it was good luck, taking advantage of the opponent's underestimation. But today, Chu Mo made a single cut and severed the arm of a Yellow Rank five-layer strongman in a frontal fight. This could not be chalked up to luck.

This was a show of his skill!

A truly formidable combat prowess!

A dominance in martial arts!

"I'm sorry, I was confident in defeating them, but I had no faith in being able to stop them from escaping," Chu Mo said somewhat helplessly.

Miao Yi Niang continued looking at Chu Mo, still saying nothing.

Chu Mo's mouth twitched, saying, "Sister... you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Miao Yi Niang suddenly flung herself into Chu Mo's arms, clutching him tightly. Chu Mo felt a gust of fragrance approaching and then a soft body in his arms.

"Uh... Sister, are you okay?" Chu Mo was stunned, and then stretched out his hand to lightly pat Miao Yi Niang's back.

Miao Yi Niang kept silent, just clutching Chu Mo's waist tightly.

Chu Mo's physique was now unmistakably adult, so when Miao Yi Niang held him, she looked rather vulnerable and perfectly matched to him.

After a while, Miao Yi Niang finally released Chu Mo. Her face was flushed as she said softly, "Let's go home."

Chu Mo knew that the shock Miao Yi Niang had received today was quite big, being betrayed and schemed against by her peers was not much different from being betrayed by those closest to her. Her mood was definitely bad.

Nodding, Chu Mo silently led the two back. Instead of returning to Gluttonous Pavilion or the Fan Residence with them, because he was still in another person's appearance, Chu Mo took them to a secluded house in Yanhuang City.

This was one of the secluded houses secretly purchased by Xu Fufu two years ago.

The place was very quiet and difficult for most people to find. Furthermore, Xu Fufu had dug out a huge basement in this secluded house, which contained resources sufficient for at least several months of living.

"Sister, for now, don't return to Gluttonous Pavilion. They were at a disadvantage, they won't just let it go," Chu Mo, looking at Miao Yi Niang, said softly.

"What about our organization?" Miao Yi Niang understood that she shouldn't show her face right now, but she was also reluctant to let go of the power she had just established.

Chu Mo shook his head: "Nothing is more important than your safety. Don't get rushed. Even if they are strong, they wouldn't dare to cross lines in Yanhuang City. After all, this is the royal territory! I will investigate this Vermilion Bird Association when I'm out, see what kind of power they have in Yanhuang City, and then figure out a way to eliminate their influence here."

"But I can't hide here forever." Miao Yi Niang said solemnly: "This won't do in the long run."

Chu Mo said, "It won't be too long, don't worry!" He took out a bottle of elixir from his person and looked at Miao Yi Niang: "Sis, you know that the realm can be improved through elixirs. However, there is a major flaw with advancing realms through elixirs."

Miao Yi Niang was slightly surprised, then said, "I know. The strongest elixir in the world can directly elevate a person's realm to the Golden Stone Stage. But if this method is used, once the Golden Stone Stage is reached, it's equivalent to reaching the end. Without undergoing body refinement and bone refining, it's impossible to enter the heart refinement period."

Chu Mo nodded, "Sis, you understand this better than me. Therefore, the elixir I have here can directly elevate a person's realm to the Golden Stone Stage!"

"What?" Miao Yi Niang was taken aback, disbelief in her eyes as she looked at Chu Mo, "How is this possible? The kind of elixir that directly elevates a person's realm to the Golden Stone Stage... although it exists, it's incredibly difficult to concoct. Even the strongest alchemists within top-ranked sects can't guarantee its success rate. If even one batch is successful out of ten... it would be considered extraordinary. How could you possibly have it?"

Chu Mo smiled, "Sis, did you forget when I refined medicine for Xia Jing?"

Miao Yi Niang was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Can you really concoct such an elixir?"

Chu Mo held up the elixir bottle, "Absolutely genuine."

Miao Yi Niang's breath quickened slightly as she looked at Chu Mo, "Do you know... the value of an elíxir like this?"

Chu Yan looked enviously at Miao Yi Niang from the side.

Seeing the expressions on the two women, Chu Mo gave a bitter smile, "Have you two ever thought about the fact that once you consume this elixir, your cultivation journey... would be over."

Miao Yi Niang gave Chu Mo a strange look, "Do you know, without this elixir, I wouldn't be able to reach the Golden Stone Stage in this lifetime?"

From the side, Chu Yan weakly added, "Me too..."

"You two..." Chu Mo looked at the two women, somewhat frustrated, "How can you be so sure? Have no confidence in yourselves?"

Miao Yi Niang gave a bitter laugh, "Do you think everyone is like you? Breaking through from the second level to the Primordial Pass in half a year? Not everyone in this world is a genius. Don't even mention that we don't have that many resources. Even if we did have inexhaustible resources, I believe I could at most... reach the Golden Stone Stage in this lifetime."

Chu Yan softly added, "I don't even dare to think about reaching the Golden Stone Stage..."

Miao Yi Niang nodded, "Yes, I also dare not think about it. So, my young master, if in your hands is a top-grade elixir that can elevate to the Golden Stone Stage, I really hope to have it... The Golden Stone Stage! It's just too tempting! Even though I know its enormous value, I still can't resist the desire for it."

Chu Yan swallowed, "Me too..."

Chu Mo looked at them in silence, "You won't regret it? For instance, when one day you can see a higher sky, you won't want to fly up and take a look?"

Miao Yi Niang smiled, "There're many birds in this world that can fly in the sky, but a pigeon will never fly as high as an eagle."

Congratulations to our reader Love Tomorrow After for having a baby boy. Haha, you're a father now. It must feel amazing right? Does the responsibility feels heavier? The birth of a child signifies responsibilities and happiness concurrently. Heard that you prefer girls, actually, so do I. But I too have a son!

Just a friendly reminder, in about twenty years, you'll realize that having a son is not bad because he can marry other people's daughter. You won't weep at the wedding but be the happiest person there because it's bringing new life into the family. Hahahaha.

Congratulations again! (To be continued. If you like this work, please recommend and vote for it on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
