Ch. 1662 - Slaying Fierce One, Leading The Way

"You're not entirely stupid," Fierce One replied.

Outside this Five Ghost Forest, for ten million miles of territory, the Luo Clan reigned supreme and had the final say.

Among the surrounding forces capable of hiring one of the Five Fierce Ones from Five Ghost Forest, there were probably only a very few.

With a little deduction, those who had dealings with them were probably only the Luo Clan.

The young miss was the flesh and blood of the Luo Clan's patriarch.

Someone didn't want her to return, and moreover, paid a high price to ambush and kill her on the way back.

The old man had originally anticipated this.

He just hadn't expected that the other party would be so ruthless.

They even hired Fierce One, one of the Five Fierce Ones. This showed the weight of their determination.

"I am just a mortal. This trip to the Luo Clan is not to seize anything. It's merely to fulfill my mother's dying wish."

From within the carriage came a woman's low sigh.

"Why must it be like this!"

Yes, why must it be like this?

But she also understood.

The human heart was unfathomable. Although she said this, whether others believed it was difficult to say.

The simplest solution was that dead people were most trustworthy.

Dead people wouldn't deceive anyone.

"Alright, it's time for you to hit the road," the black mist began to churn.

Moreover, during the recent conversation,

This black mist had secretly surrounded the area.

To prevent the group from escaping.

"Wait a moment," the old man hurriedly said.

"Senior, whatever price the other party is giving you, we can give you several times that amount."

"You can't give what I need," the voice in the black mist said disdainfully.

"How can a bastard give it to me?"

Upon these words, the old man's expression filled with rage.

These words made him very angry.

The young miss had been living away from home since childhood. This return home had no other intentions.

Who would have thought she'd be insulted in every way.

"Even if I die, today I must tear off a layer of your skin."

"Sigh... I say, everyone. If you're done talking, could someone point me in a direction?"

Xu Zimo's bored voice suddenly came from the side.

"Where nearby are there many humans, or are there any cities?"

Xu Zimo's voice seemed to interrupt the grave atmosphere around them.

From within the darkness,

A voice snarled, "Boy, death is at your door, and you're still thinking about how to get out?"

At this time, a woman's voice came from within the carriage.

"Young master, after leaving this Five Ghost Forest, there are human territories everywhere, cities everywhere. However, this incident was caused by me. I've implicated you, young master. I'm truly sorry."

"This young woman apologizes to you here."

"Young miss, if he hadn't blocked us, we might not have been caught up to," the old man said with some dissatisfaction.

"Stop arguing. I'll send you all on your way together," the black mist roared.

That Fierce One was already somewhat impatient.

With a "boom," the black mist condensed into a giant face and directly devoured them.

What terrified the old man was that under the black mist's envelopment, the imperial might throughout his body seemed to be suppressed.

His surging blood energy also stagnated.

The old man's expression turned ugly.

Rumor had it that after countless years of fusion, the ghost mist of the Five Fierce Ones had already been tainted with the edict of desolation.

Now it seemed to be true.

The edict of desolation were destroying his body.

As if he were like those growing trees, beginning to wither bit by bit.

The black mist grew thicker and thicker.

That laughter added several more degrees of terror to this deep forest shrouded in heavy rain.

"Boring," Xu Zimo lifted his eyelids slightly and said indifferently.

Shadow Tyrant behind him remained unsheathed.

Merely a trace of blade light leaked out.

The blade light seemed to carry heaven-shocking might, directly tearing apart all the black mist.

"What is this?!"

From within the black mist, Fierce One was roaring.

However, in the next moment, that blade light swept across vertically and horizontally, directly striking the black mist.

A scream rang out, and all the black mist began to converge.

"I truly misjudged, you're a cultivator."

The black mist gathered together.

An old man who looked like withered bones appeared.

This old man didn't have a trace of blood energy in his body, as if a layer of skin was covering bones.

His eyes were deeply sunken, with black mist emanating from them.

This old man's body was wrapped in a tattered and dilapidated robe.

"Boy, now that you've seen my true form, No matter who you are, you will surely die today."

Fierce One roared.

The tattered robe on his body began to dance.

Countless black mist converged toward him.

"Human Calamity," Fierce One's voice fell.

From his body, countless skulls, little ghosts, monsters, and corpse puppets all attacked Xu Zimo.

"Young miss, be careful," the old man hurriedly protected the carriage, saying vigilantly.

"I'm fine. Grand Elder, go help that young master," the woman in the carriage replied.

"My task is to protect the young miss," the old man shook his head in reply.

On the other side, Xu Zimo looked at the endless stream of ghosts and monsters in the black mist.

He waved his right hand forward.

With this wave, in everyone's eyes, there was clearly nothing there.

But invisibly, a force that could destroy everything and was irresistible fell upon Fierce One.

In an instant a scream rang out.

That force annihilated all the black mist, directly splitting Fierce One into countless fragments of broken bones.

"You... who are you?"

"A passerby," Xu Zimo said indifferently.

He stepped forward, directly stepping on Fierce One's fragmented bones.

The sound of "crack crack crack" could be heard as the bones were crushed into powder.

"Even if you kill me, you won't be able to leave this Five Ghost Forest."

Xu Zimo paid no attention to Fierce One's threat, a ghost creature that hadn't even reached the Saint Sovereign realm.

For someone like him at Infinite Dao realm, there truly was no challenge.

"I saved your lives. As repayment, take me to a human city," Xu Zimo turned his head.

Looking at the old man who stood dumbfounded in front of the carriage.

"Senior," the old man stammered in reply.

"I was blind. Please don't blame me, senior."

"Relax. If I wanted to blame you, you'd already be a corpse by now," Xu Zimo said indifferently.

Just at this moment, the carriage curtain was lifted.

A woman walked out from within.

This woman wore a white embroidered long dress, spotlessly clean.

She gave off a very delicate feeling.

An oval face, a high-bridged nose, and slightly disheveled beautiful hair from fleeing.

This was a beautiful woman.

However, her eyes were bright, her teeth white and lips red, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

"Luo Mingyue greets senior and thanks senior for the life-saving grace."

"It wasn't to save you. I just needed someone to lead the way," Xu Zimo waved his hand.

"Even so, senior still saved us," Luo Mingyue replied.

"Alright whatever, if you want to thank me, hurry up and take me out of here," Xu Zimo said.

He was too lazy to accept any gratitude.

After all, the two of them were on different levels.

"Young master, rest assured. If there are no accidents, we can leave here in three days at most," Luo Mingyue explained.

However, at this time, Xu Zimo was already too lazy to pay attention to her.

Luo Mingyue could only return to the carriage, the carriage moved forward, led by the old man.

As for Xu Zimo, he walked through the air behind everyone.

After traveling for half a day, it seemed that deep night had arrived.

In this Five Ghost Forest, the mist grew heavier and heavier, and the old man could only stop.
