Chapter 82: The Hunted Woman

"Humans live in the air, so the human body unconsciously absorbs small amounts of unknown energy. Magic factors only appear in the chakras after awakening the Mind, and external magic factors are converted from this energy. Does that mean this unknown energy is only transformed into corresponding magic factors through the modification of Mind power? If so, then this unknown energy in the air also needs to be modified by Mind power to become magic factors. Yes, that must be it. As long as Mind power is added, this unknown energy can be transformed into corresponding magic factors. Finally, one only needs to absorb these magic factors into the body and combine them with the magic factors within to form magic elements, and one can become a mage." These thoughts suddenly popped into Zhuge Tianxin's mind.

He immediately used his Mind power to try to approach this unknown energy, wrapped it up, and separated it from the other unknown energy. Finally, he tried to slowly integrate his Mind power into this unknown energy. As his Mind power merged, Zhuge Tianxin discovered that the unknown energy was gradually transforming into magic factors.

"Who's there?" Just as the unknown energy was about to transform into magic factors, Weisi De Kai suddenly shouted, startling Zhuge Tianxin out of his meditative state.

"Who's there? Come out! If you don't come out, I'm going to shoot!" After saying this, Weisi De Kai immediately had two pistols in his hands, pointing toward the dense forest ahead.

*Rustle, rustle, rustle. * Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the dense forest, and a figure jumped out. This figure bypassed Weisi De Kai and Nangong Mengli and charged straight at Zhuge Tianxin.

Zhuge Tianxin, just startled by Weisi De Kai, was about to stand up when he didn't expect the figure to suddenly attack him. He immediately stood up to meet the figure, reached out to grab one of the opponent's hands, and grabbed at the collar of the opponent's chest with his other hand. But this grab was a mistake; he realized it was soft. Zhuge Tianxin was stunned for a moment and let go, but the opponent was clearly very angry. She held a dagger in her other hand and stabbed straight at Zhuge Tianxin, forcing him to release her.

Only after letting go did Zhuge Tianxin see the newcomer's appearance. The woman was extremely beautiful, with large eyes, long eyelashes, and a pert nose that gave her the feeling of an elf under the moonlight. At this moment, her fair face was flushed, making her even more mesmerizing, but there was a faint trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, letting Zhuge Tianxin know she was injured. The woman was currently looking at Zhuge Tianxin with anger, clearly furious about his earlier chest-grabbing.

"Miss, I'm sorry about just now. I didn't mean to; it was just an instinctive reaction when you charged at me." Although he hadn't meant to, he had touched a place he shouldn't have, so Zhuge Tianxin hurriedly explained.

"Ye Qingyu, why aren't you running anymore?" Just as Zhuge Tianxin wanted to continue explaining, a group of people suddenly rushed out from all directions. There were about eight of them, seven of whom looked very sturdy, while only the one who spoke looked like a fair-faced young master.

"Who are you people? Get lost if you don't want to die, otherwise don't... hmm, not bad. I didn't expect to find such a beautiful woman here. It seems Heaven truly favors me, Ximen Qing. All of you, attack! Capture Ye Qingyu and that beauty over there. Tonight, I want a double treat, hahaha." After rushing out, the fair-faced young master noticed the three of them. When he saw Nangong Mengli, he immediately revealed a lecherous smile and ordered the seven people who came with him to capture Nangong Mengli and the woman he called Ye Qingyu.

*Zzzzt, zzzzt, zzzzt. * Hearing the fair-faced young master, Ximen Qing, say he wanted to capture her and enjoy a "double treat"—although she didn't know what that meant, she could guess from his lecherous expression—Nangong Mengli was furious to the extreme. Wisps of lightning began to appear on her body.

"Young Master Ximen, be careful. That woman is a mage; we'd better leave first." Seeing the lightning on Nangong Mengli, one of the seven men behind Ximen Qing immediately warned him.

"What are you afraid of? She's a Mind user, aren't you? There are only three of them, plus Ye Qingyu, that makes four. You have seven people; what's there to be afraid of? Don't think our family's money is given for nothing. Since you've taken our money, you must listen to me. All of you, attack! Kill all the men and capture the women alive." Ximen Qing ignored the man's warning, instead scolding him and ordering them to kill Zhuge Tianxin and Weisi De Kai and capture Nangong Mengli and Ye Qingyu alive, clearly still thinking about his "double treat."

*Boom! * Just as Ximen Qing finished speaking, Nangong Mengli's lightning magic struck him. However, when he was struck, a spherical light shield suddenly appeared on his body, blocking Nangong Mengli's magic.

"Protect Young Master Ximen!" The middle-aged man who had warned Ximen Qing shouted when he saw Nangong Mengli attack. He drew the large saber at his waist and charged at Zhuge Tianxin and the others, while two of the remaining six men moved to protect Ximen Qing, and the others followed the middle-aged man to attack.

*Bang! * Just as they were charging, a gunshot rang out. One of the five men charging at them was hit by the bullet, which carried him backward as he fell, dying instantly upon hitting the ground.

"Everyone be careful, they have a Firearms user! Kill their Firearms user first!" Seeing one of them killed, the middle-aged man immediately ordered the others to attack Weisi De Kai first. Clearly, this man was also experienced in battle and knew not to let a Firearms user keep their distance.

*Boom! * Although the middle-aged man knew to kill the Firearms user first, he didn't know that Zhuge Tianxin, a Martial Master, was even more terrifying than Weisi De Kai. As they charged at Weisi De Kai, Zhuge Tianxin immediately accelerated to block them, leaped up, released his Mind power behind him like a thruster, flew toward the remaining four, and slammed down with his sword, completing a "Missed Slash Heavy" like Ding Zhi.

As the Missed Slash Heavy landed, two of the four men had their chests crushed and fell to the ground, clearly not going to survive.

"You two, attack too! Hurry up and kill them, hurry!" Seeing Zhuge Tianxin kill two people in one move, Ximen Qing began to panic. He ordered the two protecting him to attack Zhuge Tianxin and the others, and after they charged, he immediately fled, taking out a magic instrument to send a distress signal while running.

*Ah... * However, after running about twenty meters, he suddenly let out a painful scream and fell to the ground dead. Behind him, Ye Qingyu appeared holding a blood-stained dagger; clearly, he had been killed by her.

"You deserved to die. I have finally avenged the Moon Spirit Clan." After killing Ximen Qing, Ye Qingyu said, then immediately rushed into the depths of the forest and disappeared.

*Ah... ah... * Two more screams rang out, and two more people died under Zhuge Tianxin's sword.

*Bang! * A gunshot rang out, and another person was killed, leaving only the middle-aged man.

"Don't kill me, I was just doing it for money, I don't want to be your enemy, let me go..." *Bang! * Before the middle-aged man could finish, Weisi De Kai had already killed him with a shot.

"Let you go? Do you think we're stupid?" After killing the middle-aged man, Weisi De Kai said.

"Mengli, burn them all, don't leave any traces." Zhuge Tianxin, seeing the last person killed by Weisi De Kai, immediately asked Nangong Mengli to burn them all to destroy the evidence.

*Puff. * Just as Zhuge Tianxin finished speaking, Nangong Mengli had already released fire magic, burning Ximen Qing and the seven others to ashes.

"Tianxin, that woman ran away." Weisi De Kai said.

"Let her run; they weren't on the same side. Let's leave here quickly, or we'll easily be discovered." Zhuge Tianxin said.

"Yes, let's leave." Nangong Mengli and Weisi De Kai agreed.

"Ye Qingyu, Moon Spirit Clan?" Zhuge Tianxin thought to himself as they left. ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
