CHAPTER 381: CHAPTER 364

The broken blood-colored curved blade fell into the snow, the collision of red and white weaving into a dazzling scenery, giving rise to a hint of eerie mystique in the dark night.

The black-clad men who had leapt into the air also fell, each staring in alarm at their right arms.

The specially crafted sleeves for combat allowed everyone to see clearly the uncontrollable tremors in their right arms, and the bright red blood gushing from the webbing between their thumbs and index fingers.

The leader of the black-clad men looked at Nangong Mo, a heart wildly pounding beneath the mask of a fierce ghost with a blue face and sharp teeth.

Shock, horror, disbelief!

How could this be possible!

His martial arts were terrifying to such an extent!

With just one clash! The soft sword in his hand cut through their weapons! It was not so much the sharpness of his weapon, but the terrifying strength of his Inner Strength!

Even now, blood was still flowing from their webbing in fits of numbness, caused by the injuries inflicted by his Inner Strength.

But he was clearly already injured! How could he still possess such formidable strength?!

The black-clad man discreetly reached for the concealed weapon hidden on his body, his eyes intently staring at the man before him.

In the dark night, he was clad in white garments as pure as snow, his demeanor noble and elegant, like a deity from a celestial palace.

But at this moment, the look in his eyes, as he gazed at them, was like looking at a group of ants, a collection of dead things, devoid of warmth or emotion.

The black-clad man forcibly suppressed the waves of shock in his heart, suddenly flinging the Baoyu Pear Blossom Needle at Yun Ran, who was cradled in Nangong Mo’s arms.

"Die!"

The dozen or so others, acting in unison, deftly retrieved various concealed weapons, poison needles, darts, sleeve arrows, and hurled them all at Yun Ran.

Since he was so protective of the woman in his arms, they attacked his weak point.

If they could kill her, it would be a heartbreaking blow to him. Even if they couldn’t, it would provoke his defense, inevitably limiting his ability to deal with them fully.

Unfortunately, their plan was thwarted, as the poison needles and concealed weapons seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, obstructing them from advancing, hovering in mid-air surrounding Nangong Mo.

"This is... True Qi!"

Amidst cries of astonishment, Nangong Mo was seen raising his right hand to trace an arc in the air, then turning his palm outward and suddenly pushing forward.

The suspended concealed weapons and poison needles, as if guided by a powerful force, abruptly scattered in all directions, as swift as meteors streaking across the sky.

The black-clad men, witnessing this scene, let out abrupt cries of alarm, whether dodging, trying to raise hands to block, or recklessly attempting to charge forward, but no matter the method, they were turned into hedgehogs amidst screams.

Their concealed weapons were all laced with potent toxins, which, once piercing the skin, would instantaneously corrode and rot the flesh, causing excruciating pain.

For a time, the valley and dense forest echoed with screams like those of pigs being slaughtered, rendering the dark night all the more piercing to hear.

Nangong Mo frowned slightly, glancing at the girl who had fallen into a coma in his arms, seemingly displeased that their noise disturbed her. He suddenly swung his sword, and within the blink of an eye, a dozen or so people fell to the ground at the sound.

One sword sealed a throat, one sword felled dozens.

The night instantly fell silent, but that silence was laced with an eerie quality, and the night wind carried an unusual scent.

Nangong Mo’s cold eyes narrowed slightly, looking into the infinite night, but apart from the endless distant mountains and darkness, nothing else was visible.

However, something seemed to be lurking within that darkness, on the verge of motion.

Nangong Mo silently quickened his pace, but suddenly a terrifying scream echoed from the darkness.
