Asura Emperor Venerable
Chapter 281: Besieging Mo Du

Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Besieging Mo Du

To be honest, Shi Hao was also somewhat puzzled.

He had no particular relationship with Chen Ling, so why would she want to help him?

Though he didn’t need any help, with the swiftness of Cloud Piercing Step, combined with the dimness of this underground chamber, he could make the Light Element work wonders, and escaping would not be difficult.

You see, these two had just revealed some secrets—Heavenly Demon Path, Corpse Ghost Path—they sounded terrifying, as if hiding some grand conspiracy.

So why hadn’t Chen Ling silenced him?

Only Chen Ling herself knew that she saw Shi Hao as a reincarnation of the Demon Lord, so of course, she had to suck up to him.

The Demon Lord was currently unrecognized, and even Shi Hao hadn’t awakened the Demon Lord’s memories, so helping him now was like sending coal in a snowstorm, a stark difference from adding flowers to the brocade once his identity is announced later.

Perhaps she could even snag the position of a Demon Consort!

Look at Shi Hao, so good-looking, and it was said that the Demon Lord was also blessed with talents in certain areas; conquering ten women a night was effortless. Imagine being conquered on the bed by such a handsome, strong Demon Lord—wouldn’t that make her roll her eyes in ecstasy?

"Hmm?" Mo Du was somewhat surprised.

Since his reincarnation into a Corpse Ghost, he had lost most human sensations, but some organs had become very sensitive.

Take his sense of smell, for instance.

Right now, he could smell the scent of Chen Ling’s arousal, and it was strong.

He "understood"—it must be that Chen Ling had taken a fancy to Shi Hao and wanted to make him her main man.

Fine.

Though he very much wanted to feast on Shi Hao’s flesh and blood, giving him to Chen Ling as her main man, and with the "juicing" prowess of the Heavenly Demon Path, Shi Hao would probably turn into a dried-up corpse very soon.

"Fine, this king shall spare his life," Mo Du nodded. He didn’t want to owe Chen Ling a favor, as the scoundrels of the Heavenly Demon Path have always had a bad reputation.

"Thanks," Chen Ling nodded, smiling charmingly.

"Little brother, let’s go," she beckoned Shi Hao.

Shi Hao harbored doubts in his heart, but leaving this place was also in his interest, so he walked toward Chen Ling.

Boom!

But just at this moment, a loud noise sounded, and a wall was blasted open, revealing a dozen people emerging.

All were from Self-Observation!

Though the mechanisms here were complex, they ultimately couldn’t trap an expert from Self-Observation.

—With absolute power, what does it matter what lies ahead? I can just punch my way through.

Among these dozen or so people were Xiao Bo, Luo Haodian, and other strong individuals from different sects and noble families—it was a terrifying lineup.

Seeing Chen Ling, Xiao Bo visibly relaxed, clearly having no suspicion of this woman.

"Ghost Creature, quickly hand over Gulang Country’s Cultivation Technique, and we may grant you passage to the Other Shore!" Luo Haodian barked at Mo Du.

Mo Du laughed heartily: "You want the Cultivation Technique of Gulang Country?"

"Hand it over!" Luo Haodian didn’t answer but simply gave the cold order.

"Too bad, too bad, such trash techniques have long been reduced to ashes," Mo Du shook his head, "However, if you wish to become stronger, you can pledge fealty to this king, not only will I bestow upon you supreme Cultivation Techniques, but I can even grant you Eternal Life!"

Such words were of course not likely to win anyone over, they merely elicited cold smiles from Xiao Bo and the others.

"Capture him and interrogate him at leisure."

"Even if it’s a ghost creature, it will have a weakness."

The Self-Observation experts pressed toward Mo Du, weapons in hand, humming. Spiritual Artifacts were activated, causing the Elemental Power to boil over, filling the space with a plethora of colors.

Mo Du looked down on everyone, letting out a cold laugh, "A bunch of chickens and dogs of clay—"

Before he could finish, Xiao Bo and others had already launched their attacks, forcing him to swallow his words.

Boom, the battle commenced.

Mo Du was indeed very strong, and moreover, he had turned into a Corpse Ghost, lacking so-called vital points. As long as the Corpse Fire was burning, he was undying.

Xiao Bo and his companions were encountering such an opponent for the first time and were naturally quite unaccustomed to it. Mo Du’s certain attack methods appeared completely suicidal in their eyes; hitting his vitals squarely yet causing no damage at all left them confused, shocked, and at a loss.

However, aside from the "undying" trait, Mo Du’s combat power wasn’t that impressive. He simply exhaled black poisonous gas from his mouth, which did pose some deterrent to the crowd, but that was about it.

Thus, Mo Du’s first battle after his emergence fell into a disadvantageous state.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Being called undying didn’t mean that Mo Du’s defenses were invincible. After taking severe hits, his body showed holes that impacted his combat power.

"Ghost creature, stop struggling, why not surrender yourself!"

"Your resistance is futile!"

"A mere ghost creature, how dare you boast shamelessly!"

The crowd sneered coldly, seeing Mo Du not as an individual, but as a representative of a Cultivation Technique, a treasure.

"Damn it!" Mo Du roared, leaping toward his subordinates, the Rotten Corpses. With a grab, he plucked the head of a Rotten Corpse, squeezed forcefully, pop, the head shattered instantly, revealing a burning ball of Green Fire.

He swallowed the ball of fire, and an astonishing sight appeared— the holes in his body began to heal rapidly, and the aura he emitted even showed a slight increase.

"Your Highness!" The remaining six Rotten Corpses all trembled. They hadn’t awaited a thousand years to be awakened only to be used as "tonics" by Mo Du.

Yet Mo Du paid them no heed, continuously striking, pop pop pop, the remaining six Rotten Corpses all had their heads smashed open, and their Green Fire removed, then devoured by him.

Having consumed seven balls of Green Fire, his wounds had completely healed, and his aura was even more vigorous.

This surprised everyone. What Cultivation Technique had Mo Du practiced to possess such amazing healing abilities?

No wonder Mo Du dared to boast of being undying. Indeed, if he could consume his own kind to repair himself, then as long as there was enough Green Fire, he wouldn’t just avoid death, but even injury would not befall him.

Luckily, there weren’t many Rotten Corpses here, especially those of the Other Shore level—there were only seven, all of which had now been devoured. Hence, even though Mo Du had now returned to his prime form, even surpassing it, this was The Void source of water. Once they inflicted serious injuries again, let’s see how he would recover!

"Kill!" Xiao Bo and the others attacked with even greater ferocity.

And as for Mo Du, there was even worse news. More Self-Observation experts were arriving one after another to join the battle.

It was at that moment Shi Hao felt a deep hostility directed towards him.

Following that sensation, he saw Hong Taihe walking over with large strides, his gaze fixed on Shi Hao, radiating chilliness.

Shi Hao was surprised. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, would you dare to make a move?

But then he thought again, he wasn’t a disciple of the Zhenwu Sect, so why wouldn’t Hong Taihe dare to act? Moreover, with the chaos of the current scene, what was one more death, and who would care?
