Chapter 181: Awakening Whip Spirit

Mo Xiao quickly rolled over and got out of bed, repelling that arrow!

In short order, several arrows shattered the window and flew in!

Su Mo silently gathered the Totem's internal power, forced those sharp arrows back, and the people downstairs also swiftly leapt up.

Yue Ying asked with a tense face, "Wife Master, are you alright?"

Su Mo casually picked up the arrow on the ground; it was Jiang Wu's war letter.

She frowned and said, "Clean it up, go find her."

At the North Wing border, when Su Mo's party arrived, Jiang Wu was sitting in a sedan chair, leisurely stroking the flower cat on her lap.

That cat was her Beast Husband A Ci.

She looked toward Su Mo's direction and sneered, "You actually still have the guts to come; I thought you'd be so scared you'd wet yourself and flee through the night."

"Lord Jiang is overthinking," Su Mo said, a Dagger pinched between her fingertips, a cold glint flashing in her eyes: "Later we'll see whether your mouth is sharper or my blade is sharper!"

Jiang Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light flashing in his gaze: "Su Mo, are you really not afraid of death? Knowing it's a dead end, you still come to die?"

"The outcome isn't decided yet; it's hard to say who will die first!"

With those words finished, Su Mo turned her hand and, using the power of the Totem, flung the Dagger at Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu's eyes narrowed, and he lifted his hand, sweeping his sleeve to deflect the Dagger away from his face.

Su Mo's brow furrowed slightly; it seemed her internal power had upgraded again?

Xiao Jiu: "Level Ten Beastmen's internal power usually stabilizes at that level; she must have used some crooked technique! It seems she isn't fully confident about beating you."

Su Mo now didn't bother caring how Jiang Wu boosted his internal power; seeking death was her own business!

Jiang Wu lifted his wrist, and several black shadows surged straight toward Su Mo.

Cang Lan, Yue Ying, and Ye Yuan beside Su Mo rushed out like lightning.

And A Ci, who was in Jiang Wu's arms, suddenly sprang out, transformed into human form, brandishing a long sword toward Su Mo.

Before he could approach Su Mo, Fei Yan darted forward and blocked his attack.

A Ci apparently recently rose to Level Eight, the same rank as Fei Yan, but his early cultivation used some unorthodox methods, making his aura unstable.

Fei Yan's handling of him was already sufficient.

Mo Xiao recently rose to Level Nine, a perfect time to showcase his strength; his Snake Tail swept, emitting a deep blue glow under the moon, and the poisonous gas unique to Level Nine Snake Beastfolk could easily repel lower‑level Beastmen.

Xuan Qing's slender fingers lightly brushed the ancient zither in his hand, the resonant strings unsettling the enemy troops' minds. Amid the humming notes, a chilling scent of blood floated in the air.

Su Mo swung her long whip, joining the battle at light speed.

Where the whip passed, a burst of crimson light sprang up.

She recently upgraded her Totem Power Upgrade, no longer needing external aid.

Each offensive strike was highly lethal.

Jiang Wu leapt forward, intercepting Su Mo's long whip.

Su Mo's aim was to draw blood; based on previous experience, as long as her whip touched Jiang Wu's blood, its potency would increase.

Thus each of her attacks was deadly.

After several consecutive moves, Jiang Wu remained at a disadvantage, but realizing it was Su Mo's trap, she quickly adjusted her tactics and seized the initiative.

Su Mo responded cautiously, devising every way to force Jiang Wu to reveal all her techniques.

The current priority was to maneuver; she had already discussed with Xiao Jiu, and while she maneuvered, Xiao Jiu analyzed Jiang Wu's moves.

When the two fought fiercely, Jin Tong arrived with Lin Shan and his men.

Amid the blood‑red sky, Jin Tong, bow in hand, aimed at Jiang Wu's position.

His motive was quickly spotted by Jiang Wu's Beast Husband Ruo Xu.

Ruo Xu swiftly launched a Dagger, then darted to entangle Jin Tong.

Under Su Mo's relentless pressure, Jiang Wu's attention drifted to Jin Tong; now she had completely chosen Su Mo's side? A unprecedented ferocity flashed in her eyes!

Then let them… go to hell together!

Su Mo seized the moment of her distraction, raising her long whip in time; Jiang Wu tried to dodge, yet the whip's tail still struck.

Her clothing tore instantly, flesh and skin split open.

After the whip's tail soaked with Jiang Wu's blood, the dark sigil on Su Mo's wrist began to faintly heat up.

Xiao Jiu exclaimed excitedly, "Host, her blood is indeed a good thing, draw more!"

Su Mo steadied herself and swung her long whip again, but this time Jiang Wu intercepted the whip.

The two whips instantly sparked countless flashes in the air.

……

This battle lasted from deep night to dawn.

When Long Yan arrived with his men, Su Mo and Jiang Wu were still entangled, and he had no time to think before rushing into the fight.

Lately, he has smoothly transitioned to Level Nine.

The backlash of the Blazing Fire Pill hasn't been fully eliminated, but it remains controllable.

Soon, Xuan Wei received news and, at noon, also brought people over; Bai Chi and Tian Huan were prominently present as well.

During Xuan Qing's return to the Tiger Clan, he and Xuan Wei had already run countless simulations for this battle.

This time, the Tiger Clan's forces were clearly more mature than before.

However, Jiang Wu's side always had many people, making it still somewhat hard to handle.

In Xuan Qing's words, even if all those people in Jiang Wu's hands were disarmed, they would keep killing for three to five days straight.

This maneuver would inevitably consume some effort.

Xuan Wei, as before, remained on logistics duty, responsible for leading people to tend to the wounded.

Under the scorching sun, she lifted her gaze toward Su Mo's direction; the two intertwined figures in the air darted like lightning, each move exuding a lethal intent.

As dusk gradually fell, Su Mo's long whip struck Jiang Wu's back again, instantly leaving a ferocious wound.

However, Jiang Wu quickly retaliated with a whip strike against Su Mo.

Just as Su Mo was about to swing her long whip at Jiang Wu again, the person opposite intercepted it with one hand.

Jiang Wu only felt that Su Mo's long whip in her hand seemed to be faintly heating up, as if it wanted to break free from her palm!

No, it seems because of the blood on her palm, it is actually sucking her blood!

Jiang Wu secretly exerted force to grab that long whip, intending to destroy it with internal energy, but the more she mobilized her internal energy, the more wantonly the whip absorbed the blood from her palm!

At that moment, she even felt the strength in her palm slowly disappearing.

Jiang Wu quickly released what was in her hand.

Su Mo seized the opportunity to swing that long whip, lashing toward her again; A Ci nearby noticed Jiang Wu's peril and promptly flicked his whip to intercept the dazed person.

Jiang Wu was forced to retreat to A Ci's side, and her duel with Su Mo temporarily halted.

Taking advantage of this time, Su Mo returned to the tent to rest briefly.

Xuan Wei quickly brought something over to help her treat the wound; Su Mo took a Detox Pill, furrowed her brows, and asked Xiao Jiu: "How is it? Any new discoveries?"

Xiao Jiu shook his head and said: "I observed her moves for a day; this time her defenses are all aimed at you, and sometimes I feel she seems to have anticipated your attacks beforehand, yet I still can't find any useful weakness."

Su Mo furrowed her brows and said: "It seems we can only think of a way to force her to reveal her true form again."

Soon Yue Ying also entered the tent; he had an arrow wound on his shoulder, and Su Mo clearly knew in her heart that he was affected by her.

Now that she and they have not yet severed the contract, since she was struck by Jiang Wu's poisonous whip, they will also be affected.

At this moment, inside Jiang Wu's tent.

Although she had been hit by Su Mo's two whips, this injury is trivial for a Level Ten Beastman like her!

What is currently troubling her more is the long whip in Su Mo's hand!

That thing seems to really like her blood!

A Ci stared at her wound; the scar differed from a typical whip lash, the area around the wound turned pale, as if the blood had been sucked dry.

He furrowed his brows and said: "Wife Master, could the long whip in Su Mo's hand have awakened a whip spirit?!"
