Chapter 81: That young lady is so vicious!

Su Mo's peripheral vision lightly swept over the two figures below the wall, then she met Jin Tong's gaze again.

She curled her lips lightly and said in a cold tone: "Gate Master, don't fool yourself! You can't kill me for now; if you kill me, the poison in your body cannot be cured!"

"If you kill me now, the North Wing won't let you off, and the Tiger Clan will also swarm in. You are destined to die even faster! Your ambition to dominate the Beast World will be even less possible to achieve!"

Jin Tong's eyes darkened, as if surprised by what she had just said.

He then smiled and said: "Since you know my purpose, you should understand that I won't let you live much longer!"

Although he said that, the hand gripping her neck involuntarily loosened a bit.

"It's been a long time since I've seen someone this clever; if he weren't my opponent, it would be even more interesting!"

Su Mo said coldly: "We could have left each other alone—you be the Beast World's number one, I remain a civilian. But you're too impatient, always thinking that killing all potential rivals lets you rest easy. You don't realize your opponents keep appearing endlessly! And you will never truly slaughter all the beastmen of the world!"

Jin Tong's eyes flickered, and the hand gripping her neck tightened again.

"I don't like people who always defy me! If you dare say something unpleasant again, I'll send you to King Yama right now!"

Su Mo gave a pained smile: "You wouldn't dare, because your ambition hasn't been fulfilled yet. Killing me now would be a dead end! On the contrary, if you let me go now, abandon the city and flee, perhaps there's still a sliver of hope!"

"I truly underestimated you— at a time like this, you actually still have the mind to negotiate with me?"

"I'm stating a fact, Gate Master! You won't kill me, because in your heart, your life is worth more than mine."

Jin Tong said coldly: "You're right—my life is worth more than yours! Rest assured, I won't die. But… I will certainly not let you off easily!"

After saying that, he exerted force, pinning Su Mo in front of him, then looked again at Mo Xiao: "Do you want to act now, or wait until she dies before your eyes before you act?"

Mo Xiao glanced at Su Mo; despite the dim light, he still clearly saw the look she was sending his way.

【If he can understand my meaning, he will surely realize that feigning an attack, causing the scene to descend into chaos again, is the best chance to seize the opportunity!】

【Now most of Jin Tong's subordinates have had their martial power restrained, but this is only temporary! Within this time limit, if Yue Ying seizes the moment to attack from behind, and I take the chance to jump down the city wall, our odds of success will be extremely high!】

【We must finish this quickly so we can go treat Ye Yuan's wounds! His injury cannot be delayed!】

In an instant, Mo Xiao and Fei Yan were startled again!

Mo Xiao secretly nodded at her.

He looked again at the white-clad prince at the rear of the Tiger Clan beastmen; their gazes met.

At the same moment, Fei Yan furtively glanced at Jing Ming behind her.

Jing Ming's brow twitched slightly.

Then Mo Xiao raised his hand to signal Jing Ming behind him and shouted angrily: "Charge!"

The Tiger Clan commander Tian Huan threatened angrily: "For such a female, to become a blade in someone else's hand—I will certainly not go easy!"

When the scene descended into chaos, Jing Ming quietly led a few people to rush to the rear.

Mo Xiao was the first to engage and faced Tian Huan; Tian Huan's moves were deadly one after another, but he soon realized something was off.

Although Mo Xiao's techniques were ruthless, each time they avoided his vital points.

As he glanced sideways, he heard Mo Xiao say to him: "General Tian Huan, I never intended to hurt you. But this act still requires the general to accompany us a while longer—soon our squad will ambush Jin Tong from behind Hou Shan! Once we successfully rescue the Wife Master, Mo Xiao will personally come to thank you!"

In that moment of Tian Huan's daze, Mo Xiao's arrow pierced his chest!

"You!"

He clutched his chest, looking at Mo Xiao in disbelief, but soon understood.

This move looked vicious, but it missed the vital spot.

For a beastman of Tian Huan's caliber, it's actually just a minor wound.

Seeing their commander wounded, the Tiger Clan soldiers grew even more furious, and the scene erupted into further chaos.

Jin Tong lowered his head, watching the scene below with interest, then curled his lips at Su Mo: "I didn't expect you to hold such weight in their hearts! Watching them fight for you—aren't you proud? Quite entertaining!"

Su Mo gave him a cold glance and said disdainfully: "Only a pervert would find this amusing! You must never have been truly loved, which is why you enjoy treating others' lives as a boring game."

Upon hearing that, Jin Tong's face suddenly darkened: "Love? What use is that? I only want this world! Only shallow people like you would cling to such useless, empty things."

"Gate Master truly stands apart—people like you certainly have the potential to be number one under heaven… but…"

Su Mo deliberately trailed off.

Indeed, it aroused the curiosity of the person beside her; at that moment, she had already secretly used the dagger in her sleeve to cut the wrist rope and had successfully taken out the poison packet!

Just as Jin Tong was about to ask what she regretted, a movement came from behind her.

A sharp arrow hissed "whoosh" straight toward his temple.

He instinctively dodged to the side, and Yue Ying followed closely, lunging forward!

Su Mo seized the chance to dodge, then raised the poison in her hand, and without hesitation leapt down the city wall!

In almost an instant, Mo Xiao and Fei Yan both rushed toward that gracefully descending figure!

Su Mo landed steadily in Mo Xiao's arms, drew the custom dagger from her sleeve, and aimed the beast-tendon bow at Jin Tong!

"He deserves death more than Zuo Xuan! So he is my first target!"

The weapons granted by the System Space are mostly simple to use—no martial strength needed, just remember the key points!

As Su Mo flicked that sharp dagger out, its keen blade shot straight toward Jin Tong's heart!

When Jin Tong sensed the danger, his pupils widened sharply! He didn't know what that thing was, only feeling its speed seemed far greater than an arrow's!

Just as Xiao Jiu was about to shout in Su Mo's mind, Zuo Xuan, the nearest to Jin Tong, shoved him aside with a mighty push.

"Pfft—"

The sharp blade suddenly pierced Zuo Xuan's heart region, pinning him elsewhere!

Zuo Xuan staggered and fell to his knees.

With his last ounce of strength, he told Jin Tong: "Gate Master, run!"

Then with a "thud," he collapsed to the ground!

Su Mo adjusted her aim and once again pointed at Jin Tong.

The man on the city wall, his gaze sharp as a blade, looked at the woman brimming with killing intent—it seemed her secrets were truly numerous!

It was his negligence!

Thinking that she, a frail female, apart from being a bit cunning and able to concoct some poison, is not worth fearing!

Soon, an impassioned qin melody echoed in the air, and at the site, apart from the Beastmen of the Tiger Tribe Tribe, the other Beastmen all showed a response.

Dizzy and blurry-eyed, the head throbbed as if about to explode.

Even the Jin Tong on the city wall staggered a step, and Su Mo had already aimed the Beast Tendon Bow in her hand toward his direction, ready to fire a second arrow!

"Whoosh"—

At the hair's breadth moment, a flash of white figure rushed toward the Jin Tong, its silver hair fluttering in the night wind.

The qin in his hand instantly transformed into a sharp blade!

Jin Tong's figure flickered, and Senhan's gaze glanced at Su Mo in the crowd, then he vanished in a flash into the darkness!

A silver ray brushed past Xuan Qing's ear, a few strands of silver hair suddenly snapped, and that blade lodged deeply into the wall beside them.

He furrowed his brow, flicked his sleeve, and with inner force pulled the blade out, then bent down to pick up the few strands of silver hair from the ground.

If it had been off by even half an inch earlier, he would have risked his life!

Turning to look beneath the city wall, he saw the frail female surrounded by the North Wing, speaking with Tian Huan.

Then he saw her toss a pouch and hurried away with those Beastmen!

Su Mo had no time to linger now, so after giving thanks and leaving the Pill, she hurried off to East Sea.

When Xuan Qing leapt down, the people of the North Wing had already withdrawn.

Tian Huan handed the pouch to him and asked, "The little female of the North Wing said this is a good healing medicine; I don't understand its pharmacology, could you, young master, take a look?"

Xuan Qing took it, opened it, glanced inside, crushed one Pill and sniffed lightly, saying, "It truly is a good healing medicine, better than the usual effect."

He asked again, "What else did they say?"

That Snake Young Master said he would definitely come to pay his respects on another day; their little lady seemed to be hurriedly going to have her merman husband restore a severed limb, so they left very hastily.

"Oh? She also has that ability?"

Just then, a young Beastman officer in charge of the village cleanup came to report, "Reporting, General, Young Master, all the people have already been captured!"

Tian Huan was somewhat surprised, "That fast?"

The man said, "Most of the people inside were poisoned, so dealing with them was quicker!"

Speaking, he handed over a Broken Bowl, "There is Poison residue inside."

Xuan Qing took it, smelled it, and said, "It seems to be the work of the fiancé of those Beastmen from the North Wing."

Then he picked up the blade in his hand and examined it closely; thin as a cicada's wing, yet capable of cutting iron like mud, and the blade seemed to be soaked in a very potent poison.

"What a formidable weapon, what a clever tactic!"

Tian Huan frowned, feeling a bit of lingering fear: "I truly didn't expect that she, looking so ordinary, is actually so poisonous. Next time we see her, it's best to take a detour…"
