Mosquito Three and Mosquito Four, brimming with murderous intent, lunged towards Ji Mo inside the house.
"What a peculiar bloodline aura!"
As they approached Ji Mo, the two creatures became incredibly excited.
They were bloodthirsty beings who relished in drinking human blood.
Upon smelling the aura emanating from Ji Mo, their blood surged with excitement.
What was this scent, so sweet and alluring!
"I can clearly sense that by absorbing this person's blood, I can break through to the Emperor Realm with ease!"
Mosquito Four's eyes turned red, and without hesitation, he lunged for Ji Mo's neck.
His sharp proboscis, like a keen spear, aimed directly for Ji Mo's artery.
He was impatient to taste Ji Mo's sweet blood.
*Clink!*
Unexpectedly, Mosquito Four felt as if he had struck solid iron. His sharp mouth could not pierce Ji Mo's skin at all.
His mouth, harder than an epic weapon, even broke on the spot, shattering into pieces.
The intense pain caused him to emit a buzzing sound, and his face contorted in terror.
Wasn't this just an ordinary person?
Why was his body so robust? It was utterly inconceivable.
"Strange, why are there mosquitoes in this weather?"
Ji Mo sensed something was amiss, heard the buzzing of mosquitoes, and casually swatted at them.
"Four!"
Mosquito Three watched in disbelief as his good brother met his end under the opponent's palm, crushed into pulp.
"Die! I will avenge my brother."
Mosquito Three's rage erupted, and he transformed into a streak of light, charging towards Ji Mo.
"Another one."
Ji Mo's eyes were sharp, and he spotted Mosquito Three immediately.
Without a word, he raised his hands and clapped them together.
Mosquito Three finally felt that terrifying aura and let out a cry of despair.
In the end, he met the same fate, flattened by the blow.
Cang Liu, watching from afar, was so terrified his guts churned. Two Demon Saints had been killed with a single slap.
This Ji Mo was no ordinary person at all; he was an Emperor Realm expert, or even higher!
It made sense that Black Rose would fall for an ordinary person; they had all been deceived.
Cang Liu felt extremely fortunate that he hadn't attacked Ji Mo, or he would have suffered the same fate.
This was too terrifying, simply too terrifying!
He dared not linger any longer and turned to flee.
...
A forest outside Wangjing City.
Black Rose arrived as arranged.
"Viper, it's you!"
Black Rose's expression turned grim. She hadn't expected the person she was meeting to be someone she detested the most.
This person was disgusting and despicable, coveting her body. After being rejected, he had been constantly causing trouble and harassing her.
"Black Rose, mind your place. I am an Elder."
Viper's eyes were fixed on Black Rose's graceful figure, glowing with a green light.
He hadn't seen her for a while, and Black Rose seemed to have undergone a metamorphosis, becoming even more radiant and alluring.
What captivated him most was her cold, elegant demeanor, which made him restless and desirous of possessing her.
Then he remembered that Black Rose actually liked an ordinary person, and it made his heart burn with jealousy and his chest swell with anger.
That Ji Mo should be dead by now, and from this day forward, Black Rose would belong to him.
"Place? You are not worthy."
Black Rose showed no respect to Viper; the man disgusted her.
"Heh heh, Black Rose, do you think you are still highly regarded by the Hall Master and can afford to be arrogant? The Hall Master knows you've fallen for a man and betrayed the organization. He has ordered me to eliminate you. If you are sensible, I can put in a good word for you with the Hall Master and help you through this difficult time."
Viper threatened her, intending to use this leverage to make Black Rose submit and be at his mercy.
He believed that to survive, Black Rose would make a wise choice.
"I have not betrayed the Asura Hall, nor have I done anything against the organization. I will explain this matter clearly to the Hall Master when I return."
Black Rose stated proudly.
Now that she had broken through to the Emperor Realm, her status was naturally different. She believed the Hall Master might show leniency and not hold her accountable.
"Now, whether you've betrayed the organization is not for you to decide, but for me to decide."
Viper sneered, "Just one night, serve me for one night, and I'll let you go. Otherwise, I will treat you as a traitor and kill you on the spot."
"Shameless."
Black Rose could never have imagined that the man would be so despicable and vulgar.
To think he would try to blackmail her like this was pure delusion.
A trace of azure blue appeared on her fair palm. Black Rose instantly drew her dagger, and the next moment, she was in front of Viper.
The dagger sliced through the air, piercing directly towards Viper's heart.
"Emperor Realm!"
Viper showed a hint of horror, but he reacted swiftly. A dark, legendary saber appeared in his hand, blocking the attack.
The powerful impact sent him flying backward, his feet plowing a trench in the ground.
"How is this possible? You've only just entered the Emperor Realm, yet you possess such strength."
Viper's expression was extremely grave.
He hadn't expected Black Rose to be a Spirit Emperor, and with his mid-stage Spirit Emperor cultivation, he was actually no match for her in a head-on confrontation.
"Damn it, don't think you can contend with me just because you've entered the Emperor Realm. Since you're seeking death, I shall grant it."
Viper roared in fury.
He decided to unleash his strongest means directly, defeat Black Rose, thoroughly humiliate her, and then kill her.
*Boom.*
A powerful pressure erupted from Viper's body. Behind him, the phantom of a giant snake, tens of meters long, appeared.
The giant snake was covered in black and white scales, its scarlet tongue flicking wildly, and thick poisonous mist permeated the surroundings.
The nearby plants and trees withered and quickly rotted into mud, the air filled with a decaying stench.
Viper's pride was in this potent poison, which could corrode the body and soul, making it impossible to guard against.
In this environment, he was virtually invincible.
It was with this move that he had easily killed countless experts of the same level.
"Black Rose, it's not too late to beg for mercy now. Otherwise, I fear you'll turn into a pool of mush before long."
Viper taunted.
"You think too highly of yourself."
Black Rose leaped high into the air. Starlight flickered on her body, and a black rose silently bloomed in the void above her head.
The rose petals were adorned with countless stars, emitting a brilliant radiance. That dazzling starlight completely enveloped Black Rose, isolating her from all impurities.
Viper's poisonous mist lost all threat to Black Rose.
At this moment, Black Rose appeared sacred and powerful, exuding a pressure that made even Viper tremble.
"Impossible! How can the person who awakened the Star Radiance Sacred Body be you!"
Viper was greatly shocked, truly unable to comprehend how Black Rose had obtained such an opportunity.
Not only had she broken through to the Emperor Realm, but she had also awakened the Star Radiance Sacred Body.
In this state, Black Rose possessed the strength to contend with Viper.
Black Rose's entire demeanor changed. She transformed into a streak of light, her speed astonishingly fast.
Her attacks were swift as the wind, each carrying the power of stars. Endless starlight tore through the void, raining down upon Viper.
