Chapter 961 - 860: She Is a Spirit Body (2)

Wu Xiuqing shook her head and responded."I understand!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered; he hadn't expected the other person to have such experiences.

His eyes darted as he thought of the address "Miss Xiuqing."

"May I call you Miss Xiuqing? How does that sound?"

"It's acceptable! I'm telling you two, don't wander around aimlessly. You can't escape. The person ahead wants to kill and silence you. It's best to stick with me. At least if he wants to kill the two of you, he'll hesitate because of me!"

Wu Xiuqing said calmly.

Mo Yan immediately replied, "Miss Xiuqing, we are disciples of the nearby Ascension Academy, backed by the Divine World. As long as you take us back to the Ascension Academy, I don't think that person would dare do anything to us!"

"You're too young. Ascension Academy? Oh, I remember, it's just a place where the Divine World collects trash from thirty thousand small planes!"

Wu Xiuqing laughed dryly.

Upon hearing the mockery, Mo Yan wanted to get angry. He intended to retort, but when he realized he couldn't move his body, he finally understood the vast difference in strength between him and the woman ahead.

He decided to keep his mouth shut and said nothing more.

Duan Gujin exhaled, understanding that, from Wu Xiuqing's perspective, it was natural to see many martial artists of the Divine World as trash.

His eyes flickered, and he asked, "Miss Xiuqing, do you recall the events at the Reincarnation River?"

"Reincarnation River? What Reincarnation River?"

Wu Xiuqing asked in confusion.

Hearing this, Duan Gujin immediately understood that Wu Xiuqing likely wasn't reincarnated. He quickly explained, "I apologize, Miss Xiuqing, it seems I remembered wrong. My apologies!"

"Did you really remember wrongly?"

Wu Xiuqing found it hard to believe.

"Yes, I really remembered wrong! I once saw a group of people fighting at the Reincarnation River, and in the end, many of them fell into the water. A lot of them sank, but I went to save people. I remember saving a woman who looked quite like you. But I had to save others as well, so I didn't get a good look at her face. Hearing you mention it just now, I immediately understood—it was my mistake!"

Duan Gujin hurriedly explained.

"Oh, so that's how it is!"

Wu Xiuqing thought for a moment and felt that Duan Gujin didn't seem to be lying.

Since he had mistaken her for someone else, she decided not to probe further.

Meanwhile, the martial artist in front began a massacre, and in less than 15 minutes, more than twenty comrades were killed.

Seeing the martial artist begin a killing spree, Mo Yan hurriedly said, "Miss Xiuqing, how about we run now? If he finishes off the others, he'll come after us next!"

Wu Xiuqing chuckled and said, "Don't worry. For that martial artist to kill his companions, he'll have to pay a huge price! When he's exhausted, that's when I'll make my move!"

Hearing this, Mo Yan gasped, finally remembering that the woman behind him was a demigod-level expert.

Even so, Mo Yan couldn't determine Wu Xiuqing's actual cultivation level.

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered as he stared at Wu Xiuqing for a while, his eyes suddenly brightening.

"You're a Spirit Body?"

He exclaimed suddenly.

"Young man, I see you're not even twenty, and even though you're only at the Martial Saint Realm, you've managed to recognize my Spirit Body. Not bad!"

Wu Xiuqing quickly praised.

"Spirit Body?"

Upon hearing the term, Mo Yan immediately recalled the descriptions of Spirit Bodies in the Ascension Academy's classics.

A Spirit Body is not the true self, but is formed by one or more drops of Life Essence Blood from the true body. Its combat power generally equates to one-tenth or one-third of the original body.

This means that the Spirit Body Mo Yan sees now is at most one-third as powerful as the original body. It's even possible that the original body's combat power is ten times that of the current Spirit Body, leaving Mo Yan in shock.

Duan Gujin, understanding the Spirit Body more thoroughly, realized why the person who snatched the treasure did not come forward to kill the Spirit Body.

Once the Spirit Body is killed, the true body will know who did it and will immediately come to seek revenge.

"No wonder she's so fearless!"

Duan Gujin exhaled deeply and asked, "Miss Xiuqing, don't you want those treasures?"

"Rest assured, they won't be able to take my treasures!"

The Spirit Body chuckled.

Duan Gujin suddenly understood; he guessed that the Spirit Body had likely tampered with the treasures. Even if the demigod peak expert obtained them, it would be impossible to refine them.

This was why the Spirit Body was so confident.

A while later, Duan Gujin and the others saw that the demigod peak expert who had seized the treasure had already slaughtered half of his companions.

The remaining fifty or so companions tried to flee, but at this point, another person appeared in the group, targeting his fellow martial artists.

It was evident that the demigod peak expert who seized the treasures had planted an ally within the group.

The remaining fifty or so martial artists, realizing they had been played for fools, felt immensely angry. Many used secret techniques at the cost of their Life Essence or lifespan to boost their combat power sharply.

These martial artists didn't want to die in vain and were determined to make the two treasure-snatchers pay dearly, even if it cost them their lives.

Mo Yan, watching the chaos up front, suddenly felt confused. He couldn't understand why, if those two martial artists were so powerful, they didn't collaborate directly to chase Wu Xiuqing, but instead allied with over a hundred martial artists, only to slaughter them in the end.

He voiced his doubts to Duan Gujin, who immediately shared his own theory with him.

"It wouldn't be easy for those two experts to find Miss Xiuqing!"

Hearing this, Mo Yan immediately understood what Duan Gujin meant.

"Ma Kai, you've gone too far!"

Suddenly, a roar echoed from afar.

Duan Gujin and the others saw a spatial crack suddenly appear in the void ahead, from which a person emerged.

It was a middle-aged man with a fierce face scarred by a blade.

"I lent you over a hundred subordinates, and yet you intend to kill them all! You deserve to die!"

The middle-aged man was filled with rage as he formed seals with his hands, conjuring countless longswords in front of him.

In the next moment, those longswords turned into streams of light, rushing swiftly toward a martial artist ahead.

"How interesting this is! Let's enjoy the show!"

At this moment, Wu Xiuqing's Spirit Body bore a radiant smile, blooming like a flower.

Yet, in Mo Yan's eyes, her smile revealed a heart as venomous as a snake and an exceptionally malicious nature.

"Gang Leader! Save us!"

All the masked martial artists cheered, having thought they were doomed, but with their gang leader now present, they felt hope for survival.

The martial artist named Mo Kai snorted coldly, waving his sword to form a massive sword flower in front of him.

The longswords produced piercing sounds as they charged toward Mo Kai.

However, the sword flower Mo Kai wielded protected him completely, neutralizing all the longswords before they could reach him.

As Mo Kai thwarted the middle-aged man's attack, his ally seized the chance to kill five martial artists.

Seeing that his men were still being targeted, the middle-aged man was livid, realizing now just how untrustworthy Mo Kai and his accomplices really were.

"Both of you deserve to die!"

The middle-aged man roared, unleashing his Primordial Power to reveal his cultivation at the demigod peak.
