Chapter 438

Dragging his mutilated body, spitting blood as he walked, Qin Shan Hai appeared before the two, dragging a great saber as tall as a person in his hand.

Just moments ago, this Qing Yun Sect Saint, who had been furious and ready to fight him to the death, instantly went silent.

Qin Shan Hai, meanwhile, kept coughing up blood, but his motion showed no hesitation; he directly raised his blade and chopped over.

Most astonishingly, despite such severe injuries, Qin Shan Hai's combat power showed not the slightest weakening.

This is also Qin Shan Hai's unique trait: being wounded seems not to affect his combat power, completely unlike ordinary people.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that he can go berserk.

Otherwise, your combat power would be reduced to one-tenth from injury—what's the point of going berserk then?

Qin Shan Hai has no middle ground—either he's dead or he's berserk.

Seeing this maniac come again, the two Qing Yun Sect Saints only felt their scalps go numb.

Damn, I've never seen anyone like this.

Watching Qin Shan Hai continue his fierce battle, Chen Qingyu, who was fighting Qi Xiong, naturally saw everything.

Regarding Qin Shan Hai, he gritted his teeth—one person alone actually slaughtered two Qing Yun Sect Saints.

"Damned maniac."

He cursed silently, yet had no intention of helping; angry as he was, he couldn't be foolish—who would dare provoke such a maniac?

The melee below continued, but on Yu Mo's side, the two Yuan Mountain Ancestors were already spent arrows.

After nearly a day of fierce fighting, under a five‑person siege, the condition of the two Yuan Mountain Ancestors grew worse and worse.

At this point, they had begun to beg for mercy.

"Yu Mo, there's no need to fight to mutual destruction—let us brothers go, and Yuan Mountain will henceforth follow your Dao Yi Sect's lead."

"Hah, you speak as if Yuan Mountain could refuse."

"I'll give you all my brothers' treasures."

"Kill you, and everything you have will be mine."

"Then what must I do to make you stop?"

"Kill you."

Faced with the two Yuan Mountain Ancestors' repeated pleas, Yu Mo was unmoved; today he would kill them.

Saying this, Yu Mo slashed with his sword; one Yuan Mountain Ancestor desperately dodged.

Although he narrowly avoided Yu Mo's attack, Yuan Cang and Wang Man's strikes arrived as expected; this time he could not dodge and was heavily hit.

Instantly, that Yuan Mountain Ancestor spat out a mouthful of blood, and his chest was blasted with a large hole by Yuan Cang and the other.

Were it not for the tremendous vitality of the Demon Emperor Realm, this blow would have been enough to kill him outright.

Even so, this Yuan Mountain Ancestor was already a spent arrow and could not hold out much longer.

His aura waned again; after persisting for over an hour, he still could not escape the fate of being slain by Yu Mo and the two others.

Although in the end this Yuan Mountain Ancestor wanted to make a last‑ditch counterstrike, to take them down with him.

But given the disparity in numbers and strength, his dying counterattack had no effect.

Even though he heavily wounded Wang Man, he could not achieve mutual destruction.

Coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, Wang Man then ceased fighting and withdrew to the side to recuperate.

Only Yu Mo and Yuan Cang, together with Jiang Shan and Peng Yun, attacked the other Yuan Mountain Ancestor.

By this point, that Yuan Mountain Ancestor knew the outcome was sealed; after a final frenzy, unsurprisingly, he was slain by the combined force of the four.

Yu Mo, quick‑eyed and quick‑handed, directly stored the corpses of the two Demon Emperors, then turned a hostile gaze toward Jiang Shan and Peng Yun.

Noticing Yu Mo's gaze, Jiang Shan immediately spoke.

"Brother Yu Mo, wait a moment—let me finish what I have to say."

"Speak."

"Well, we really have no ill intent; from start to finish we've merely been on guard against you."

"Think about it—you suddenly emerged from seclusion and even came to Confucian Saint City; how could we two possibly feel at ease?"

After he gave a sincere explanation, hearing Jiang Shan's words, Yu Mo narrowed his eyes.

"Then, in Spirit City, did you hear anything?"

Yu Mo didn't care about those earlier matters; he only cared whether Jiang Shan and the other knew about little Changqing.

Faced with Yu Mo's question, Jiang Shan fell silent, and Yu Mo's gaze grew ever more dangerous.

After a while, Jiang Shan spoke.

"Um... does food that increases lifespan count?"

"Hah, as I suspected you heard—then you won't be leaving."

As soon as those words left his mouth, Yu Mo coldly snorted—indeed they had found out.

Seeing Yu Mo about to strike again, Jiang Shan hurriedly shouted.

"Wait, Yu Mo, wait—I know what you're worried about, but how could we possibly divulge this? After all, Peng Yun and I are now even more lacking in lifespan."

"We two not only have no intention of becoming enemies of your Dao Yi Sect, we even want to eat a bite of your food—so we could never be foes."

This is absolutely Jiang Shan's sincere words; for the sake of increasing lifespan, how could he still dare to offend the Dao Yi Sect—he doesn't even have time to flatter them.

Precisely for this reason, he and Peng Yun have never had a death‑wish to fight to the end; earlier they chose to ally with Yu Mo and the two others rather than the two Yuan Mountain Ancestors.

It's all just for that mouthful of food.

Hearing Jiang Shan's words, Yu Mo stayed his hand and said with a half‑smile.

"You are Qing Yun Sect Ancestors, and now you want to eat my Dao Yi Sect's food?"

"Heh, this isn't............."

Jiang Shan gave an embarrassed grin, while Yu Mo replied in an annoyed tone.

"You think it's possible?"

"No, Brother Yu Mo, as long as it's possible, tell me any demands you have; my brother and I will absolutely not refuse."

"In order to survive, Jiang Shan really gave it his all, but this is only human nature."

"Compared to the increase in lifespan, in Jiang Shan's eyes, any other treasures are mere clouds; if life is gone, what's the use of treasures?"

"Before there was no way, but now there is; this is like a drowning person suddenly grabbing a lifeline, so Jiang Shan and his brother's feelings are understandable."

"Seeing Jiang Shan's sincere expression, Yu Mo's eyes shifted, and he suddenly showed a gentle smile."

"You really want to eat?"

"Nonsense, who wouldn't want to increase their lifespan?"

"Actually, it's not impossible; there's always a way."

"It's negotiable; Brother Yu Mo, just say what you want, everything can be discussed."

"Seeing Yu Mo loosen up, Jiang Shan immediately exclaimed, 'Just having a chat is enough; I just fear Yu Mo won't loosen up.'"

"As for Yuan Cang and Wang Man standing nearby, hearing this, they also found it strange why Yu Mo would say that."

"He is the Founding Ancestor of the Qing Yun Sect; letting them increase their lifespan isn't raising a tiger to invite disaster? Wouldn't it be better to wear them to death?"

"However, having known him for so many years, Yuan Cang and Wang Man are very clear about Yu Mo's character; this guy has never been one to suffer a loss."

"Trying to make him suffer a loss is practically harder than ascending to heaven, so the two of them didn't say much more, but waited for Yu Mo to continue."
