The demons were defeated, and Mu Yurou fell into a coma!
Outside Zhenyuan Pass,
Following the panicked flight of the Demon Emperor Demon Emperor and the retreat of the Demon Son You Xuan after his heavy injuries,
the once-aggressive Demon Race army was like a beast whose spine had been removed, instantly falling into total panic and chaos.
"Lord Demon Emperor has fled!"
"His Highness has also been defeated!"
"Run for your lives!"
Having lost their backbone, the Demon Race soldiers no longer possessed their former ferocity. One by one, they discarded their armor and fled frantically into the distance in a wretched state.
The scene was nothing short of a total collapse!
"Kill!!"
"Hahaha! The time has come to kick them while they're down!"
"Brothers, charge! These demon brats are finished!"
"These are all pure battle merits! Don't let them get away!"
In contrast, the morale of the Human Race Cultivators instantly surged to its peak!
Seeing those usually ferocious demons now running for their lives like stray dogs,
the Cultivators who had been struggling to hold on grew bloodshot eyes and let out wild howls as they began a frantic pursuit.
In an instant, the situation on the battlefield had completely reversed!
Lin Mo simply watched this quietly, having no intention of making another move.
That previous strike, "Supreme Yin Descends upon the World," had nearly drained all the Qi in his body, and even the recently awakened Taiyin Sacred Body Origin was somewhat overextended.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was at the end of his rope; his whole body was aching, and he truly lacked the energy to compete with others for kills.
"Dammit!!!"
"That bastard... how could he have escaped even after that?!"
Just then, an indignant roar came from beside him.
Lei Jingxiao smashed a fist into a massive boulder, shattering it to pieces, his face full of unwillingness and irritation.
He had been fully prepared to see You Xuan perish on the spot,
but he hadn't expected the guy to possess a top-tier life-saving jade talisman, allowing him to narrowly escape the gates of hell.
"What a pity..."
"He is the Demon Palace's Demon Son, after all; he must have plenty of life-saving treasures on him."
"Otherwise, with that strike just now, I really would have been confident in sending him on his way."
Hearing this, Lin Mo glanced at Lei Jingxiao and feigned a disappointed sigh, a look of regret appearing on his face.
But in his heart, he wasn't disappointed at all.
He even felt like laughing.
What a joke—if he had actually killed You Xuan, wouldn't all his painstaking planning have gone to waste?
He was counting on using You Xuan to reap a massive harvest in the future!
Casting a long line to catch the big fish—that was his true objective.
"Sigh, Brother Lin, don't blame yourself too much. You did your best!"
Lei Jingxiao didn't notice Lin Mo's true thoughts and was instead comforting him.
"Actually... to tell you the truth."
He turned his head to look at Lin Mo, his eyes filled with admiration.
"That insane strike of yours just now gave me quite a shock!"
"That kind of Aura... tsk tsk tsk!"
"To be fair, if that strike had been aimed at me, I definitely wouldn't have been able to block it. I would have been finished right then and there!"
Lei Jingxiao reached out a large hand and slapped Lin Mo heavily on the shoulder, his tone sincere.
To be able to heavily wound the You Xuan who had made even him feel despair, and nearly kill him at that—
this level of strength was indeed much tougher than his own as a so-called Holy Land Sequence!
He, Lei Jingxiao, was truly impressed!
*Thump!*
As the two were talking, a faint sound of someone falling suddenly came from nearby, instantly drawing Lin Mo's attention.
Not far away, Mu Yurou, who had just been struggling to stand up, suddenly rolled her eyes and collapsed straight onto the ground, becoming motionless.
"Hmm?"
"Miss Mu!"
Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat as he rushed to her side in a few quick steps and supported her up.
*Hiss...*
"This situation... looks a bit bad!"
Lin Mo swept his Divine Sense over her, and his brows instantly furrowed tightly.
"She's incredibly weak!"
At this moment, Mu Yurou's breath was extremely faint, like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any moment.
Not only that, but her Meridians had suffered severe damage from forcibly using a secret technique earlier, and even her Divine Soul had become somewhat unstable.
"This girl... she was too ruthless to herself."
Lin Mo felt a bit guilty.
Although she had fought so hard for that fifty million fortune, in the end, it was also to save him and Lei Jingxiao.
He had to acknowledge this debt of gratitude.
"Brother Lei, do you have any effective healing Medicinal Pills?"
"Give me one!"
Lin Mo didn't have any high-grade pills on him, but he didn't act like a stranger either. He turned his head and reached out to Lei Jingxiao, asking for one quite naturally.
Since this guy was a Holy Land Sequence, he was incredibly wealthy. Lin Mo felt no psychological burden whatsoever about taking advantage of a rich guy.
"Oh, oh, I have some!"
Lei Jingxiao didn't hesitate. Without a word, he pulled an exquisite white jade porcelain bottle from his storage ring and handed it to Lin Mo.
"This is my Holy Land's specially made 'Heaven-Returning Pill.' As long as there's still a breath left, it can save them!"
Lin Mo took the porcelain bottle and poured out a pill that radiated a dense vitality and medicinal fragrance, its quality being nothing short of perfect.
He then carefully pried open Mu Yurou's mouth, fed it to her, and used his Qi to help dissolve the medicine's power.
*Hum!*
As the pill entered her stomach, it immediately showed an instantaneous miracle.
A flush of color quickly appeared on Mu Yurou's pale face, and her weak breathing instantly became steady and much stronger.
"Tsk, the effect is really good."
"As expected of a Holy Land product."
"Thanks, Brother Lei!"
Seeing Mu Yurou gradually begin to recover, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, tossed the remaining pills back to Lei Jingxiao, and thanked him casually.
"Don't mention it, it's only right."
Lei Jingxiao waved his hand, a flash of gratitude appearing in his eyes as he looked at the unconscious Mu Yurou.
"If it weren't for Miss Mu stepping in at the critical moment to suppress that Devil Head's strength,"
"we probably would have lost our lives right at the start!"
Hearing Lei Jingxiao's words, Lin Mo nodded in agreement.
Indeed.
If not for Mu Yurou's powerful support in this wave, he and Lei Jingxiao wouldn't have been able to last this long, let alone wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
Even his own insidious strike just now—if Mu Yurou hadn't helped suppress You Xuan's power, it would still be an unknown whether it would have succeeded!
It could be said that this white-haired girl, who usually seemed a bit greedy and unreliable,
was absolutely an MVP-level existence in this battle!
On the contrary, Lei Jingxiao had almost been a total carry-on in that team fight.
"This is what you call a specialized talent!"
"She truly is too useful!"
"No matter what, I have to trick her into coming to Great Xia!"
Looking at the sleeping girl in his arms, Lin Mo became even more determined in his previous idea.
This kind of top-tier teammate, who could both tell fortunes and provide support, and even risk her life in such a crisis, was harder to find than a needle in a haystack!
He had to send her to Great Xia to shine!
He couldn't let her go to waste!
Thinking of this, Lin Mo didn't put Mu Yurou down but instead gently lifted her onto his back.
The battlefield was too chaotic; he didn't feel safe leaving her here alone.
It was safer to carry her.
"Brother Lin, the Demon Race has been defeated and fled."
"There are no more targets on this battlefield worth our intervention."
"There's no point in staying here any longer."
"I see that we're both quite heavily injured. How about we head back to the city to rest and recover for a while?"
At this moment, Lei Jingxiao, whose clothes were tattered and who was covered in scars—looking even more wretched than a beggar—couldn't help but suggest.
Although this battle had been satisfying, he was indeed exhausted.
"My thoughts exactly."
Lin Mo nodded, naturally having no objection.
He also urgently needed to find a place to recover his condition and take stock of his gains from this trip.
"Then let's go."
Lei Jingxiao nodded and prepared to fly off through the air with Lin Mo.
However,
before they could even move,
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four incomparably powerful Auras descended from the sky without warning!
Carrying a suffocating pressure, they landed right in front of them, blocking their path!
