114: Sleep

However, Mo Xuan's injuries were far more severe than the Blazing Flame Flying Tiger's, and as the two fought, Mo Xuan gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Just then, a greenish-blue ray of light shot directly towards Mo Xuan.

Mo Xuan's heart stirred, and he initially intended to dodge, but feeling no threat, he allowed the greenish-blue light to hit him.

As the light enveloped him, a rich vitality spread, healing the injuries within Mo Xuan's body.

In the distance.

The Three-Eyed Green Wolf suddenly appeared behind True Person Qingmu, and a deathly green ray of light shot out from its third eye.

True Person Qingmu swung his staff to block, and just as he parried the light, the wolf's claw was already upon him, its sharp talons deeply raking across True Person Qingmu's chest.

"Pfft!"

Severely wounded by this attack, True Person Qingmu's chest bled profusely, his body uncontrollably shaking, his Aura chaotic, and his already dishevelled appearance became even more tragic.

"Human, you dare to be distracted while fighting me? You're seeking death!"

The Three-Eyed Green Wolf's Aura was chillingly cold, and its wolf shadow reappeared, attacking True Person Qingmu, who struggled to parry, but it seemed he wouldn't last much longer.

Mo Xuan's heart sank; although True Person Qingmu's assistance had slowed his injuries, if True Person Qingmu died, he too would surely perish.

In an instant, Mo Xuan made his decision, abandoning the last rational line of defense in his mind, leaving only a slight guidance, and allowing the madness to consume his heart.

His entire Aura actually rose another notch.

Mo Xuan's Aura surged, and he attacked the Blazing Flame Flying Tiger with frenzied intensity.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Mo Xuan fought madly, attacking without defending, his injuries constantly worsening, but the more severe his injuries, the more intense his madness became.

At this point, Mo Xuan had long lost the ability to think; under the subconscious suggestion, he only had one instinct: to kill all the Yao Beasts.

"Boom!!!"

The two figures constantly entangled, blood splattering, and the Blazing Flame Flying Tiger's heart grew heavier, a sense of panic gradually rising within him.

"Damn it, I'm going to fall..."

The more he fought, the more alarmed he became; this serpent Yao Beast was tireless, impervious to pain, ignored defense, its Aura growing stronger, and its attacks becoming more violent.

The Blazing Flame Flying Tiger began to contemplate retreat.

"Bang!"

After another collision, the Blazing Flame Flying Tiger turned and fled.

However, the current Mo Xuan was completely irrational, his speed increasing, and he instantly caught up to the Blazing Flame Flying Tiger.

"Serpent King, I shall retreat now, please stop!"

The Blazing Flame Flying Tiger was covered in blood, constantly fleeing, but Mo Xuan clung to him like a maggot on bone, like a shadow, impossible to shake off.

Mo Xuan was completely oblivious.

"Roar!"

The Blazing Flame Flying Tiger wailed; finally, Mo Xuan seized an opportunity, bit into its throat, and crushed it.

Mo Xuan did not stop; his serpent body coiled around the dying Blazing Flame Flying Tiger, swallowing it piece by piece, along with its Yao Core, into his belly.

"Yao Beast, Yao Beast..."

Having devoured the Blazing Flame Flying Tiger, Mo Xuan turned his body, with only the words 'Yao Beast' echoing in his mind.

"Yao Beast!"

The Three-Eyed Green Wolf was horrified, having witnessed the Mid Golden Core Stage Blazing Flame Flying Tiger die so tragically, he had long given up chasing the already dying True Person Qingmu, and was desperately fleeing into the distance.

At this moment, Mo Xuan's blood-red serpent eyes stared directly at him, a chill running through his heart, and he fled in a panic.

As for the Foundation Establishment Stage and Qi Refinement Stage Yao Beasts below, many were dead or injured, and the rest were fleeing towards the Tianshui Mountain Range, scattering like birds and beasts.

"Too terrifying, too terrifying..."

The Foundation Establishment Stage Great Demon was filled with immense fear; that Black Giant Serpent, like a demon god, was truly a nightmarish existence.

He had consecutively killed three great Yao Kings.

Mo Xuan looked in the direction the Three-Eyed Green Wolf had fled, his fierce intent permeating the air, and his mysterious light/aura (boundary) disappeared.

A moment later.

"Awoo!"

The green wolf shrieked.

"No, don't..."

The shriek abruptly ceased; the Three-Eyed Green Wolf vanished, leaving no trace of its demise.

"Yao Beast, Yao Beast..."

Mo Xuan's figure reappeared, his eyes constantly scanning, but at this point, the Yao Beasts were scattered and fleeing wildly, and Mo Xuan's figure continuously vanished and reappeared, claiming the lives of one Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beast after another.

As for the Qi Refinement Stage Yao Beasts, they were merely Mo Xuan's accompanying wind and rain pearl; they could not withstand it and turned into a sea of blood.

Soon, no Yao Beasts remained between heaven and earth.

Mo Xuan's figure reappeared, his mouth dripping with blood.

Although all Yao Beasts were gone, the madness in his heart showed no signs of diminishing; instead, it grew even stronger.

"Yao Beast..."

Mo Xuan's eyes flared with blood-red light, scanning once, then eerily fixed on the Xuanqing Sect.

The blood-red light in his eyes grew increasingly intense; the people of Xuanqing Sect were busy dealing with the battlefield when they suddenly saw the Black Giant Serpent high above staring at them, causing their hearts to pound, filled with terror and confusion, not knowing what to do.

True Person Qingmu realized that Mo Xuan's state was not right, his face changed dramatically, and he endured his injuries, slowly flying out, his staff emitting a greenish-blue ray of light, gentle and soft, with a calming and nourishing effect.

Mo Xuan allowed the light to shine on him, making no movement.

"Fellow Daoist, wake up!"

True Person Qingmu shouted loudly.

Mo Xuan looked over eerily, superimposing the person before him with the Yao Beasts he had killed earlier, a surge of bloodlust welling up.

Mo Xuan opened his mouth, his body swaying, and rushed towards True Person Qingmu.

"Damn it!"

"Quickly retreat into the formation!"

True Person Qingmu shouted, barely mustering his magical power, and vines began to grow, blocking Mo Xuan's path, buying time for everyone.

However, these vines couldn't even make Mo Xuan pause for a moment before they shattered with a bang.

"It's over..."

True Person Qingmu's heart filled with despair; he was already severely wounded, and casting two Spells was his limit; now, all his magical power was gone, leaving him utterly defenseless.

Mo Xuan closed in, opening his mouth to bite.

"Uncle Xuan!"

Just then, a female voice suddenly came from behind.

Mo Xuan paused, his heart slightly shaken, stopping his actions, turning around, and looking at the newcomer.

"Hoo~"

True Person Qingmu let out a long breath.

"One centimeter, just one centimeter, and my head would have been gone."

Cold sweat poured down True Person Qingmu's back, and he was endlessly grateful for that voice.

This was simply pulling him back from the gates of hell!

Behind the newcomer, a moon-like ribbon fluttered, her face anxious, urgently calling out:

"Uncle Xuan, I am Zhou Liyue."

Seeing Mo Xuan unresponsive, his fierce might seemingly about to surge forth again, Zhou Liyue's heart grew anxious, and she called out again:

"Uncle Xuan, it's me, Zhou Kaiding's daughter, Zhou Liyue."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xuan's heart began to stir, his eyes no longer solely blood-red, and clarity gradually increased.

"Roar!"

Mo Xuan roared up at the sky, falling into a struggle.

Zhou Liyue was thrown back by the Aura, as was True Person Qingmu, who took the opportunity to retreat rapidly.

"Roar!"

A fierce wind raged around Mo Xuan, his serpent body swaying continuously, flying in the air, as if enduring immense pain.

After a long while, Mo Xuan finally stopped, gasping roughly with 'ho ho' sounds.

Although his eyes were still blood-red, the clarity was evident.

Clearly, Mo Xuan's consciousness had recovered somewhat.

He briefly sensed his body's condition; it was a mess inside, and without time to think much, Mo Xuan recalled the wind and rain pearl and swallowed it into his belly.

He then summoned the Fierce Ape's Yao Core and swallowed it.

Afterward, he looked at Zhou Liyue, and his invisible wind wings spread out behind him, carrying Zhou Liyue towards Qingyuan Town.

Currently, he was only temporarily suppressing the fully activated beast-like intent; if he remained any longer, he feared he would eventually lose himself again.

Moreover, operating magical power, burning rationality, and stimulating beast-like intent to gain power at such an overload naturally came at a considerable cost, and he had been continuously injured.

If Zhou Liyue hadn't come to wake him, even if he had killed everyone in Xuanqing Sect, he would have died from exhaustion, an ignominious death.

Zhou Liyue let out a long breath when she saw Mo Xuan had recovered.

Earlier, Mo Xuan's tone was off, and Zhou Liyue had sensed his intentions; after settling her family, she didn't care about anything else, simply took some Medicinal Pills, and went looking for him.

The battle at Xuanqing Sect was simply too intense, which was why Zhou Liyue was able to find him smoothly; if she had missed this opportunity, who knew what would have happened.

Zhou Liyue secretly affirmed herself, glad that she hadn't hesitated.

Outside Jade Moon Peak, Mo Xuan's figure appeared, setting Zhou Liyue down, and with a flap of his wind wings, he headed straight for Qingyuan Lake.

"The family is temporarily in your hands."

Mo Xuan's deep voice echoed in the air, and his figure had already disappeared.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Liyue was worried; along the way, Mo Xuan had already briefly explained his condition.

At Qingyuan Lake, Mo Xuan descended from the sky, plunging into the bottom of the lake, startling countless fish and shrimp.

At the bottom of the lake, Mo Xuan coiled into a ball, his eyelids closed.

He intended to use sleep and the water essence of Qingyuan Lake to suppress the beast-like intent and, at the same time, recover from his injuries.

However, having suffered such severe injuries this time, he didn't know when he would fully recover.

Furthermore, there were still four Yao Cores that had not been refined; if they were fully refined, he might even be able to advance another level.

The last thought surfaced and then vanished, and Mo Xuan's mind sank into darkness.

End of Volume Two.
