East Lun sneered as he saw Mo Wuji unleash a talisman. A mere Pulse Opening Stage ant dares to scheme against him. Just as Mo Wuji thought, he dared to retreat towards Mo Wuji's side because he didn't put Mo Wuji in his eyes at all.

Even if he was injured, he wouldn't even frown if he stood still and let Mo Wuji attack him once. However, if Mo Wuji dared to scheme against him, he naturally wouldn't stand still and let Mo Wuji plot against him. Being schemed against by his opponent before his death was already frustrating enough.

East Lun stirred his Yuan Qi, wanting to dodge Mo Wuji's attack. The next moment, East Lun's expression changed; his figure became extremely slow, and a chilling aura permeated the surrounding space. This infiltrating chill was rapidly freezing the space.

Not good, this was a talisman that he could not withstand at all. In his frantic state, East Lun no longer cared about preserving his Yuan Qi and frantically activated his Yuan Power, wanting to break free from this frozen space.

Unfortunately, he had already lost the initiative. If he had desperately used his escape technique at the first moment, perhaps he could have escaped. Now, he was simply unable to escape the attack of the Exploding Ice Talisman.

"Crack, crack..." In just a few breaths, East Lun was trapped by the freezing Exploding Ice Talisman, like an ant in an ice crystal amber, unable to move.

Mo Wuji's Heavenly Mechanism Staff, swung with all his strength, was also frozen by the Exploding Ice Talisman before it even reached East Lun.

Startled, Mo Wuji quickly retreated. Fortunately, the Exploding Ice Talisman didn't backfire, and despite forming a layer of ice on his body, he managed to escape.

This Exploding Ice Talisman was so powerful, but even if there were more of these talismans for sale, Mo Wuji would definitely not buy a second one. Although this thing was powerful, it was equally坑爹 (kēng diē - a put-down, something that tricks or disappoints a person).

It could be said that if East Lun hadn't happened to be staggered over to his side and looked down on him so much, his Exploding Ice Talisman wouldn't have had any effect at all.

If he had used the Exploding Ice Talisman against East Lun head-on, East Lun could have completely escaped during the time it took to activate and detonate the talisman. No matter how stupid East Lun was, he wouldn't wait for his Exploding Ice Talisman to be activated before leaving.

Moreover, only he could activate this Exploding Ice Talisman. If he didn't have Spiritual Will, even if East Lun hadn't looked down on him and staggered over, he wouldn't have been able to activate it.

No wonder this thing only cost a few thousand Xuan grade spirit stones. Bin Shiqi spoke so nicely, but in reality, this was a truly garbage talisman.

East Lun glared at Mo Wuji in the Exploding Ice Talisman, his eyes bloodshot with rage. He knew that in a moment, the Exploding Ice Talisman would explode, and his body would also be blasted into nothingness along with the talisman.

He completely didn't understand how a Pulse Opening Stage cultivator like Mo Wuji could activate the Exploding Ice Talisman. Not only could he activate it, but he could also activate it in such a short amount of time, which was simply impossible. Moreover, he was confident that he hadn't misjudged; Mo Wuji was indeed a Pulse Opening Stage cultivator.

"I've wanted to kill you for a long time, and today you actually delivered yourself to my doorstep. You don't have to worry about being alone after you die. One day, I will go to Extreme Sword City and level that broken city. I won't leave a single person from your East family alive," Mo Wuji said cheerfully as he walked in front of East Lun, not even bothering to clean the ice shards off his body.

He was indeed cheerful. Ever since Yan'Er was schemed against by Extreme Sword City, he had been holding it in his heart, and today he finally released that anger.

Although the Mo family's County King title was taken away, those things weren't something he personally experienced, and he didn't have much affection for the Mo family, so he took it more lightly. Yan'Er was so good to him, and she was taken away from him and then schemed against by Extreme Sword City. How could he let go of this revenge?

East Lun could hear Mo Wuji's words, and his eyes were red with anger, but unfortunately, he couldn't say a single word.

"Boom!" The Exploding Ice Talisman exploded from the inside out, and East Lun's body was easily blasted into pieces by the explosion energy of the Exploding Ice Talisman. Streams of blood mist splattered on the ice shards, dyeing them red.

Even in his death, East Lun didn't know what deep hatred Mo Wuji had against him. Until his death, he didn't believe that his death was related to the Spirit Grafting. Over the years, the East family of Extreme Sword City had killed countless talented cultivators for Spirit Grafting. If they were to be avenged, then ten thousand East families wouldn't be enough to disappear.

Mo Wuji walked over, picked up the iron rod, and shook it, instantly removing the ice shards on the rod. After the power of the Exploding Ice Talisman was lost, these ice shards were just ordinary ice shards.

It was a pity that East Lun was blasted into fragments by the Exploding Ice Talisman, and nothing was left behind. Otherwise, this guy definitely had a lot of good things on him.

"Friend, what great skill, to actually kill East Lun… cough cough… thank you for avenging me…" Seeing Mo Wuji turn around, the man who was critically injured by East Lun, said intermittently, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Your life is really tenacious," Mo Wuji said coldly, then sat down on the side, waiting for his opponent to die.

This guy wanted to drag him down with him before he died, definitely not a good person. If this guy were to live, perhaps it would be his turn to die after he went out. Not even needing to go out, as long as this guy's injuries healed, it would be his turn to die. However, this guy had no grievances with Mo Wuji, and Mo Wuji was unwilling to attack a guy who was about to die.

"I am Zheng Hefe, of the Heavenly Devil Sect. If my friend is willing to help me once… I, Zheng Hefe, swear here…"

Before the other party could finish speaking, Mo Wuji directly interrupted Zheng Hefe's words, "First, I can't save you. Second, I still want to live a few more years."

Zheng Hefe coughed incessantly. He didn't continue to beg Mo Wuji to save him, perhaps because he knew that Mo Wuji was telling the truth. In his current condition, even a Grade 5 Earth Pill Master might not be able to save him.

"If you can tell me why East Lun was chasing you, perhaps I will bury you, so your body won't be devoured by demon beasts. You should have heard that if your body is devoured by demon beasts after death, it will be difficult to reincarnate, right?" Mo Wuji said proactively when Zheng Hefe didn't speak. As for it being difficult to reincarnate, it was completely fabricated by him.

He was really interested in the place that East Lun and Zheng Hefe had discovered. He had already seen that there were good things in the Five Elements Wasteland.

Zheng Hefe kept spitting out blood. Mo Wuji didn't care and just waited quietly. He had said earlier that he couldn't save Zheng Hefe, and that was the truth. With his current abilities, he couldn't save Zheng Hefe in this state.

"Okay… I'll tell you… but if you have the opportunity in the future… be sure to bring the jade flute in my storage bag to Junior Sister Yang Yingping of the Heavenly Devil Sect, and tell her that I have fallen in the Five Elements Wasteland…" Zheng Hefe said so much in one breath that he was barely breathing in.

"I agree. I can help you deliver it when I think I have the ability in the future," Mo Wuji said indifferently. Don't even think about him doing such a thing before he had the ability.

He didn't expect this Zheng Hefe to be so infatuated, thinking of his little lover before his death.

Even knowing Mo Wuji's meaning, Zheng Hefe couldn't refute it. He said intermittently, "… Go southeast from here for a day… and you will see an ice mountain… there is…"

Before he could finish this sentence, Zheng Hefe's head tilted, and he completely lost his breath.

Dead? Mo Wuji carefully walked over and sensed him, confirming that Zheng Hefe was indeed dead. He casually took off the storage bag from Zheng Hefe's waist, then dug a pit on the spot and buried Zheng Hefe in it.

As for East Lun's body fragments, he was too lazy to care.

Putting away the Heavenly Mechanism Staff, Mo Wuji determined the southeast direction, and then unhurriedly ran over. His cultivation was poor, and if he encountered experts like Zheng Hefe and East Lun, he would definitely die. So when he traveled, Mo Wuji was very careful.

A day later, Mo Wuji stopped. He didn't encounter an ice mountain, but he saw a Lightning Leopard.

The Lightning Leopard and the Six-legged Lightning Crocodile were both lightning-based attackers. Unlike the Six-legged Lightning Crocodile, the Lightning Leopard's main attack method was lightning orbs, while the Six-legged Lightning Crocodile's attack method was lightning arcs.

Another characteristic of the Lightning Leopard was its speed.

The reason Mo Wuji stopped was naturally to temper his meridians with lightning arcs. He had cultivated to the peak of the eighth layer of Pulse Opening Stage and had reached a bottleneck again. Most cultivators who reached this bottleneck would probably use pills to forcibly advance to the ninth layer of Pulse Opening Stage. Then, after several years of cultivation, they would use pills to advance to the Spirit Building Stage.

If Mo Wuji didn't want to have much of a future, he could naturally also advance to the Spirit Building Stage by this method. He had opened up sixty-one meridians and could completely forcibly cultivate to the Spirit Building Stage.

Now that Mo Wuji could open up meridians himself, he would naturally not do such a self-defeating thing. He had already decided to make opening up the most meridians as his goal.

If he was outside, he could find a lightning refining room to open up his meridians. Now that he was in the Five Elements Wasteland, he couldn't find a source of lightning to temper his meridians at all. Now that he saw a Lightning Leopard, how could Mo Wuji let it go? He wasn't going to let the Lightning Leopard attack him like the Six-legged Lightning Crocodile, helping him temper his meridians. That wasn't realistic or suitable.

The Lightning Leopard's attack was lightning orbs, which was simply not suitable for Mo Wuji to temper his meridians. Mo Wuji stopped this Lightning Leopard because the place where the Lightning Leopard lived must have a source of lightning.

Just like the lightning swamp in the Lightning Mist Forest, only that kind of place was suitable for the Lightning Leopard to cultivate in. The appearance of a Lightning Leopard here definitely meant that there was a lightning swamp.

Although this Lightning Leopard was a Level 2 Demonic Beast, ordinary Pulse Opening Stage cultivators were no match for it at all. However, under the intimidation of Mo Wuji's Spiritual Will, it already had the idea of running away.

Mo Wuji's cultivation was poor, but his Spiritual Will was strong. He could use the power of his Spiritual Will to suppress the Lightning Leopard, letting the Lightning Leopard know that he wasn't easy to provoke. Demonic beasts were naturally extremely sensitive to momentum and aura. As soon as Mo Wuji's Spiritual Will swept over, the Lightning Leopard would subconsciously retreat, feeling that Mo Wuji wasn't easy to provoke.

The demonic beast's aggressiveness made it restrain its desire to escape. It forcibly suppressed the power of Mo Wuji's Spiritual Will and spat out a lightning orb towards Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji was least afraid of lightning attacks. He directly pulled out the Heavenly Mechanism Staff and smashed it at the incoming lightning orb.

With a "boom!" sound, the lightning orb shattered, turning into more than a dozen lightning arcs, most of which bombarded Mo Wuji's body.
