The extreme pain of having his heart shattered made Jian Wei unable to muster any more Yuan Qi, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

At the same time, Mo Wuji also spat out a mouthful of blood. He used the Heaven's Secret Staff to block Jian Wei's thick-backed ring blade, but the Yuan Qi intensity of a Building Spirit Stage cultivator in the mid-stage was simply too great. Even though his Star Shift had transferred some of the force into the ground, the remaining force still displaced his internal organs.

This made Mo Wuji somewhat fearful. He had originally thought about using the Sky Silkworm Treasure Armor to directly withstand the attack, then using the Heaven's Secret Staff to launch a sneak attack on Lu Ping. Fortunately, he didn't do that. If he had, he would probably be on the ground like Jian Wei, with only a few breaths left.

"Haha..." The laughter of the brocade-robed youth stopped abruptly when he saw Jian Wei spitting blood and collapsing to the ground in convulsions, on the verge of death. What was going on?

Before the brocade-robed youth could recover, Mo Wuji's iron staff had already slammed towards Lu Ping's waist.

Lu Ping was also stunned after seeing Jian Wei vomit blood and fall. It wasn't until Mo Wuji's Heaven's Secret Staff came crashing down that he suddenly woke up. The long whip in his hand transformed into a steel spear, directly colliding with Mo Wuji's Heaven's Secret Staff.

Yuan Qi exploded, and Mo Wuji was sent flying, crashing into a giant tree before sliding down, gasping for breath and spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.

"Impossible, you're not even in the Building Spirit Stage, how could you possibly..." This exchange made Lu Ping clearly feel that Mo Wuji hadn't even reached the Building Spirit Stage, because Mo Wuji's Yuan Qi hadn't formed a spiritual essence scale.

What shocked him was that Mo Wuji's Meridian Opening Stage Yuan Qi was actually not much weaker than the Building Spirit Stage.

Where could such a powerful Meridian Opening Stage exist? Even the most talented disciples of the Wen Tian Academy couldn't possibly have such terrifying strength in the Meridian Opening Stage.

"Kill him, kill him..." The brocade-robed youth saw Mo Wuji being sent flying by Lu Ping's whip, crashing against a giant tree, and immediately screamed madly from the side.

Lu Ping came back to his senses. He immediately knew that now was not the time to be shocked, he had to subdue Mo Wuji first. He was truly afraid and didn't dare to approach Mo Wuji, so he directly lashed out at Mo Wuji with his long whip.

He and Jian Wei, working together, could even make a Building Spirit Late Stage cultivator meet his end. This wasn't because their combined strength was greater than a Building Spirit Seventh Stage cultivator, but because they valued strategy when fighting. In short, they were more cunning than their opponents.

However, after just one exchange with Mo Wuji, Jian Wei was seriously injured and collapsed. Judging from Jian Wei's current inability to even speak, his situation was dire.

It was clear that this outer disciple's cunning was no weaker than theirs, perhaps even more so. He would rather withstand Jian Wei's attack to take out one of them first. And in fact, he succeeded.

If they had known this guy was so cunning, he and Jian Wei wouldn't have been so careless. As long as he and Jian Wei fought steadily, this outer disciple would definitely not escape their grasp.

Facing such a cunning outer disciple with such terrifying strength, Lu Ping really didn't dare to approach.

As Lu Ping's long whip lashed down, Mo Wuji barely managed to raise his Heaven's Secret Staff to block it.

"Bang!" Lu Ping's long whip directly sent Mo Wuji's Heaven's Secret Staff flying and struck Mo Wuji's body.

"Crack!" A cracking sound was heard as the giant tree behind Mo Wuji was also split open by Lu Ping's whip. Mo Wuji was even sent flying by Lu Ping's whip and swung into the air.

Hearing the sound of Mo Wuji's bones breaking, Lu Ping breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this kid was just a little tough at first. He estimated that Jian Wei's earlier strike had caused him serious internal injuries; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily.

Seeing Mo Wuji being wrapped up and swung around by Lu Ping's long whip, the brocade-robed youth revealed a sinister smile. He drew his long sword, waiting for Mo Wuji to fall so he could chop off Mo Wuji's limbs.

Mo Wuji was indeed seriously injured by Jian Wei's earlier strike to his back, but it wasn't to the point where he couldn't even block a single move from Lu Ping. After all, he still had a Sky Silkworm Treasure Armor.

What he wanted was for Lu Ping to swing him around. As long as Lu Ping swung him around, even if Lu Ping was still wary of him, hearing the sound of his ribs breaking, he would think he had the situation under control.

Violent Yuan Qi permeated through Lu Ping's long whip, trying to crush Mo Wuji's waist. The broken ribs were in extreme pain under this powerful pressure. But Mo Wuji could endure it. He had endured too much pain, and he also had the Sky Silkworm Treasure Armor to help.

At the moment the Sky Silkworm Treasure Armor blocked the incoming violent Yuan Qi, Mo Wuji's hands made several complex hand seals in succession, and then he punched down.

"Hahaha..." Seeing Mo Wuji trying to punch Lu Ping through the long whip, the brocade-robed youth couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Even though Lu Ping didn't know what Mo Wuji was doing, he had a bad feeling. He subconsciously wanted to release the long whip and retreat first. Mo Wuji's previous record had really frightened him. He was able to secretly injure Jian Wei even when they were working together.

His reaction was already fast, but it was still a step too late. A fear from the depths of his heart had already filled his entire body.

Not good...

Lu Ping couldn't care about the long whip anymore and desperately wanted to retreat.

"Boom!" A blue lightning arc exploded in his chest out of nowhere. The smell of scorched clothes and the smell of blood mixed together, making the space somewhat chilling.

Lu Ping was blasted away by the lightning arc, also crashing into a giant tree. He looked down and saw a fist-sized blood hole in his chest, with blood constantly flowing out.

Leave quickly, that was Lu Ping's only thought. At this moment, Mo Wuji was no longer a waste from the outer peak in his eyes, but a demon lurking in the dark corner. He had never seen a Meridian Opening Stage disciple so terrifying, nor had he ever seen a Meridian Opening Stage disciple so cunning and able to endure. This kind of fighting style was simply trading life for life.

In a one-on-one fight, he might not have lost to the other party. He and Jian Wei, working together, could definitely defeat the other party. But now, Jian Wei was probably dead. If he didn't leave, he would definitely follow in Jian Wei's footsteps. At this moment, he only felt fear.

"Pa pa pa pa!" Lu Ping's heart turned cold, and his fighting spirit immediately disappeared without a trace. As soon as he turned around, five more lightning arcs exploded around him. As if knowing that he wanted to escape, these five lightning arcs completely locked down his escape route.

Maybe these five lightning arcs weren't as powerful as the previous one, but Lu Ping was seriously injured and in a hurry to escape, so how could he care about the strength of the lightning arcs?

He raised his hand and released a talisman, and everything around him suddenly became blurred. This was a Fifth Grade Illusion Mist Talisman, its only purpose being to escape.

He was sure that Mo Wuji wouldn't be able to see him after this talisman was released. By the time Mo Wuji saw the situation around him clearly, he would have already escaped far away. The next time he met Mo Wuji, he would never be so passive again.

"Bang!"

"Crack... Ah..."

Lu Ping had just changed direction and taken a few steps when an iron staff slammed into his ribs. The violent Yuan Qi directly broke his waist. Lu Ping couldn't help but let out a shrill scream.

How could this be, how could this be? How did the other party know that he had changed direction? This was a Fifth Grade talisman, not some piece of garbage found on the street.

Before he could continue thinking, a cold sensation passed across his neck, and Lu Ping's consciousness fell into darkness. He probably never imagined that he would die in this place, at the hands of an outer disciple in the Meridian Opening Stage. He also didn't expect that the Illusion Mist Talisman would help Mo Wuji instead of him. Mo Wuji had divine sense; he couldn't see, but Mo Wuji could see everything clearly.

Mo Wuji had already walked out of Lu Ping's Illusion Mist Talisman and slowly walked towards the brocade-robed youth, carrying the Heaven's Secret Staff.

"You can't touch me, I am Jin Jiuzhen of the Dao Sect of the Wen Tian Academy, a top-grade spiritual root genius, and also..."

"Pfft!" Without waiting for Jin Jiuzhen to finish speaking, Mo Wuji's Heaven's Secret Staff had already slammed into Jin Jiuzhen's head. As Jin Jiuzhen was dying, he heard Mo Wuji say, "I told you not to provoke me. Since you didn't listen, then don't listen..."

After killing three people in a row, Mo Wuji knew that he had to leave as soon as possible. Several of his waist bones had been broken by Lu Ping's long whip, but fortunately, he was an alchemist and particularly good at enduring pain. Plus, he had a lot of pills on him, so he wasn't afraid at all.

After swallowing several pills, Mo Wuji dragged the corpses of Lu Ping, Jian Wei, and Jin Jiuzhen into the forest and started a fire.

Even if the Wen Tian Academy could investigate him, he had to destroy the bodies.

Mo Wuji didn't want anything from Jin Jiuzhen's storage bag. He didn't even bother to check what was in Jin Jiuzhen's storage bag.

It wasn't that he didn't want it, but his cultivation was too low. If a strong person had placed some kind of mark on it, he might be caught without even knowing it.

...

Mo Wuji appeared in Wen Tian City an hour later.

Wen Tian Station was like an airport or train station on Earth. There were all kinds of flying ships, flying beast carts, and ordinary beast carts. From this place, you could go anywhere you wanted to go.

"Where do you want to go, friend? I have all kinds of flying beast carts here, which are cheaper than ordinary beast carts and faster and safer." As soon as Mo Wuji walked to the ticket counter of the station, the cultivator at the ticket counter enthusiastically introduced him to the services.

He saw that Mo Wuji had almost no spiritual energy around him and clearly thought that Mo Wuji couldn't afford a flying ship, so he simply introduced the various flying beast carts. This station cultivator had been working here for many years and had almost never been wrong. Most of the time, he was very accurate.

But today, he was clearly mistaken. Mo Wuji smiled and said, "Excuse me, what's the fastest way to get to the Lost Celestial Ruins?"

Lost Celestial Ruins? This cultivator quickly reacted and said, "To get to the Lost Celestial Ruins, you can only take a large flying ship, which takes a month. However, the flying ship is very expensive, costing 10,000 Earth Grade spirit stones per month."

Mo Wuji took out his spirit stone card and said, "I want to buy a ticket for the fastest flying ship to the Lost Celestial Ruins."

How refreshing! This cultivator thought that Mo Wuji would just ask and not buy, but he didn't expect Mo Wuji to actually pay the spirit stones, without even haggling.

"The Wen Luo ship will leave for the Lost Celestial Ruins in half an hour. Friend, you can board the ship now with this ticket." This cultivator quickly handed over a jade-quality ship ticket to Mo Wuji.
