Outside Sunnywood City.

Su Mo held Xi’er's hand and walked on the mountain path.

“Xier, when we enter the mountains, hide behind me when we meet a demonic beast.”

Su Mo said to Xi’er.

“OK!”

Xi’er nodded.

Not long after, the two arrived at Mount Breezewind and entered the mountain range.

“Abrow!”

The Cla.s.s 2 Lv 1 Lion pounced on them, and Su Mo killed him with a punch.

“Xier, close your eyes!”

Su Mo said to Xi’er.

Xi’er was dumbfounded, but he did not ask any questions. He closed his eyes obediently.

Su Mo released his Martial Soul and immediately devoured the Soul Beast and the blood essence of that demonic beast.

Su Mo did not ask Xi’er to close her eyes because she did not believe him and was afraid she would discover his secret.

He doesn't want to be traumatized. After all, it would be too terrifying to suck the corpse of a demonic beast dry.

“Alright, Xi’er, let's go!”

Said Su Mo while taking out the Demon Core from the demonic beast.

Xi’er opened his eyes and was stunned to see the skinny corpse of the Demon Beast.

“So Mo's sister, how can this happen?”

Xi’er was surprised, and his eyes were filled with confusion.

The demonic beast, which was tall and mighty, had turned into a skinny corpse in the blink of an eye.

He knew that Su Mo must have done this.

She also knew that Su Mo asked her to close her eyes because she did not want him to see her.

However, he could not help but ask.

“All of his blood essence was eaten by me. That's why it became like this.”

Su Mo did not hide anything and told her the truth.

“Ditelan?”

Xi’er was even more confused. He did not understand how the blood essence of a demonic beast could be eaten.

“Haha, Xi’er, if you want to know, I will let you see it later.”

Su Mo said with a smile.

Xi’er shook his head and said, “Because you don't want me to see it, I won't see it.”

“Let's go, Brother Su Mo!”

The mountain edge was filled with demonic beasts under Class 3 Lv 1.

Su Mo did not walk too fast because he was holding Xi’er.

Along the way, Su Mo killed all the demonic beasts he encountered.

He devoured all the Soul Beasts and blood essence.

Every time he killed a demonic beast, he would close his eyes even though he was curious.

Although Su Mo had told her that she could watch, she insisted on not doing so.

He said, “If Brother Su Mo doesn't want me to see him, then I won't see him.”

Su Mo shook his head helplessly looking at his stern gaze.

The explosion!

Another Class 3 Lv 1 Demon Beast was killed.

Just as Su Mo was about to devour it, his expression changed and he looked back.

Shua! Shua! Shua!

Seven or eight men in black suddenly emerged from the forest behind him and quickly surrounded him and Xi’er.

“What are you doing?”

Su Mo quickly pulled Xi’er to his side, looked at them, and asked with a frown.

These people held steel swords in their hands, and the aura on their bodies was extremely powerful. They were all experts, and without saying anything, they surrounded them. Obviously, they did not come with good intentions.

“Su Mo, hand over this woman, and I will consider letting your corpse remain intact.”

The leader was a tall middle-aged man. His face was cold and his eyes were filled with killing intent.

Su Mo raised his eyebrows.

The other party came for Xi’er, and they knew his identity. It seems they came with preparations.

“Who are you?”

Su Mo asked firmly.

“You will die, so you don't need to know.”

The middle-aged man sneered, waved his hand, and said coldly, “Kill him!”

The middle-aged man was unwilling to waste time, so he immediately gave the order.

Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound!

The others swung their long swords and directly attacked Su Mo.

They were all experts at the Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm, and their auras were extremely powerful.

Swooshes!

Holding Xi’er's hand, Su Mo's figure flashed, leaving behind a faint remnant shadow, and they dodged the attack.

“Xier, lie on your back and hold tight!”

Su Mo hurriedly let Xi’er lie on his back.

Although these people were at the Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm, it was impossible for them to kill him.

What made Su Mo a little afraid was the middle-aged leader, who was an expert at the Lv8 Qi Peak Cultivation Realm. He was much stronger than these people.

In a one-on-one fight, Su Mo was not even afraid of an expert at the Peak Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm. Even if he could not defeat her, he could easily escape.

However, his first priority now was to protect Xi’er.

Xi’er also knew that she was in great danger, so she hurriedly lay on Su Mo's back.

Su Mo did not have time to enjoy the warm and fragrant body on his back, and the long sword struck out again.

Whooshing sound!

Su Mo used his body movements and quickly flashed to the side of a man in black.

Clangs!

The sword unsheathed, and with a flash of sword light, a streak of blood gushed out.

One attack to the throat!

After killing one person with a single strike, Su Mo immediately retreated.

“What?”

The man in black was surprised. They did not expect any of them would die in the blink of an eye.

“A very fast sword!”

The black-clothed middle-aged man leader was dumbfounded.

A month ago, Su Mo's strength was only comparable to the Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm, but now he could directly kill a martial artist in the Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm.

“However, you will still die today!”

The man in black shouted coldly, took out his long sword, and fiercely slashed at Su Mo.

Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound!

The middle-aged man slashed three times in a row, and three sharp sword Qi slashed at Su Mo in a triangular formation.

Saber Qi was directly blocking Su Mo's way of dodging, so he could only take this step directly.

“Med Gale!”

Su Mo swung his sword, and the wind and clouds surged. The sword light flashed and slashed at the sword Qi.

The explosion!

The sword Qi shattered and turned into a violent wind, sweeping out in all directions.

“Eh!”

At this moment, Xi’er let out a muffled groan.

Su Mo turned his head and looked at Xi's face ‘er as pale as a piece of paper. He bit his lips, trying his best not to make a sound.

He did not make a sound because he did not want to disturb Su Mo.

Su Mo was startled and secretly scolded himself for being so stupid.

Xi’er's strength was too low to withstand the impact after the attack.

But there is no time to think. As Su Mo blocked this movement, six or seven other men in black also attacked.

The sword light flashed like lightning and slashed at Su Mo's vital parts.

Wind and Clouds Spin!

Su Mo's sword slashed down, and a strong wind instantly pushed those people backwards. His figure retreated again.

It was not that he was no match for these people in black, but he wanted to avoid the aftermath of the attack in order to not hurt Xi’er.

Su Mo had just retreated, and before he could calm down, a radiant sword radiance swept across his lower abdomen.

The middle-aged man in black clothes attacked again.

Their attacks were like a storm, giving Su Mo no time to breathe.

The middle-aged man in black was good at seizing the opportunity. This was when Su Mo had just exhausted his strength.

To avoid hurting Xi’er, Su Mo's hands and feet were tied, so he couldn't use his full strength.

In such a critical moment, Su Mo did not have the time to gather the strength to block the attack, so he could only try to dodge.

Engaged!

A stream of blood gushed out. Although Su Mo dodged the attack, his side was injured by the sword Qi, leaving wounds all along the finger.

Fresh blood flowed out from the wound.

“So's sister Mo!”

Xi’er was surprised, and his eyes were glazed over.

“So Mo's sister, put me down. I'm .. Don't worry about me. Run!”

Xi’er said with a sobbing voice.

“Xier, what are you talking about? If I want to leave, they can't stop me! “

Su Mo said with a smile. Then, he turned around and flew towards the depths of the forest.

In the blink of an eye, he had flown dozens of meters away.

“Pursue him! Don't let him escape!”
