Chapter 437: Chapter 436: Snatching the Kidnapping

"Thud!"

The Skull Crutch tapped the ground, emitting a low hum.

The sound wasn’t loud, yet it managed to overpower the clashing and shouting of Mo Changfeng and his siblings’ attacks.

At the same time, an evil wave of Black Energy undulated from the old woman’s body.

"Thump thump thump!"

Three muffled sounds, without any visible action from the old woman, who even remained with her back to them, in the same pose as before. However, Mo Changfeng and his siblings were viciously struck by an invisible force.

"Splat!"

Mo Changchun and Mo Changlei, who were at the forefront, were the first to be attacked. They had just gotten close to the old woman’s back, but suddenly, they were sent flying, spewing a stream of blood midair and landing heavily ten steps away, their fate unknown.

And Mo Changfeng, who was behind them, didn’t have time to react either. As Mo Changchun and Mo Changlei were being flung away, the Skull Crutch in the old lady’s hand opened and closed its mouth twice, and it seemed as if a black spear of light shot out from the dark sockets of the skull.

"Cling! Boom!"

The black spear collided with the Sword Energy released by Mo Changfeng, the sword light shattering instantly, and that black light pierced right into Mo Changfeng’s chest. With the following explosion, Mo Changfeng’s face flushed, and he too spat out blood and flew backwards.

"Pathetic." The old woman said with a sweet smile, as she turned her head around.

She had held back her power, not wishing to kill Mo Changfeng and his siblings; otherwise, with just that blow, they would already be dead.

Since she didn’t want to kill, that meant...

Lin Hao’s eyes lit up, seeing Mo Changfeng flying back towards him—not veering off an inch—and thought to himself, ’Good’. He shifted his stance, his energy sinking into his Dantian, and the Primordial Qi around his body surged explosively.

Boom!

Lin Hao’s Primordial Qi erupted like a volcano, shooting up towards the sky. He hadn’t even made a move yet, but the invisible aura had already emanated.

"Hmm? A master?!"

The old woman’s eyes brightened as she saw Lin Hao’s surging Primordial Qi carving a path through the dark Ghost Energy, she even praised him. However, that was followed by a scoff, "Even if you are a master, you’re just a succulent nourishment for the master. Come with me!"

The words had barely left her mouth when a chilling wind sprang from nowhere, instantly enveloping Mo Changchun and Mo Changlei, who were trembling nearby, already half-lion, half-human. The wind swept them up and carried them into the Giant Stone Formation.

At the same time, the black wind took shape into a giant hand, reaching out towards Lin Hao and Mo Changfeng.

Now was the moment—if he didn’t give his all now, there would be no chance left!

Lin Hao’s eyes shone with a cold light, and from the palm of his right hand held high, a Primordial Qi Bomb, the size of a palm, burst out from the Void Ring.

"Die!"

Lin Hao held nothing back as he launched his most powerful strike, grabbing onto Mo Changfeng’s back, and with the recoil, flew backwards, while propelling the Primordial Qi Bomb directly at the old woman.

"Hmm? Primordial Qi Bomb? Interesting."

In the eyes of the old woman, as the Primordial Qi Bomb grew larger, she remained unhurried, just sneering coldly. The Skull Crutch in her hand tapped lightly on the ground.

"Thud!"

From the skull of the Skull Crutch, another blast of Black Energy erupted. Almost instantly, it collided with the Primordial Qi Bomb thrown by Lin Hao.

"Boom!"

A loud bang resounded, the impact of the powerful forces rippled outward, like the explosion of a high-yield bomb, creating an aura and light that separated Lin Hao and the old woman.

"Let’s go!"

How could he miss such an opportunity?

Lin Hao seized Mo Changfeng by the hair, his energy channelled to its peak. He tapped the ground with his toes, shooting backward with the speed of lightning.

"Brother... Sister..."

Mo Changfeng, now a corpse-like figure, gazed dumbly in the direction of the Giant Stone Formation, allowing Lin Hao to drag him along as if he were pulling a kite in their escape.

In the blink of an eye, they had flown over ten miles!

It seemed fast, but in Lin Hao’s view, this speed was too slow; the old woman would surely catch up.

And here was Mo Changfeng, with his heart in ashes, motionless, which truly infuriated Lin Hao. However, the three siblings Mo Changchun, Mo Changlei, and Mo Changfeng had just fought to their deaths to create this opportunity for Lin Hao. This comradeship could not be ignored by Lin Hao.

Mo Changchun and Mo Changlei were undoubtedly doomed to die, but Mo Changfeng must not die! However, in his current state, Mo Changfeng was nothing but a burden. At this rate, both of them would perish.

Lin Hao was furious. Grabbing Mo Changfeng’s hair, he gave it a fierce tug. Hair that hadn’t fallen out despite being dragged along was now yanked out in clumps.

"They’re dead! Pull yourself together! If you want revenge, then escape with me! Don’t be like a dead person!"

Lin Hao didn’t know if it was his shouting or the pain of having his hair pulled out that did it, but a sharp light suddenly burst forth in Mo Changfeng’s lifeless eyes.

"Revenge... Yes, I want revenge!"

Far away, the old woman stood still, and as Mo Changfeng looked at that figure, he felt a renewed will to fight. Yet, he knew, right here, right now, that escape was the only option.

There’s life in the old dog yet!

Immediately, Mo Changfeng also began to circulate his Primordial Qi, beginning to coordinate with Lin Hao.

But at that moment, the motionless figure of the old woman in the distance suddenly vanished, as if a mass of black energy shot straight into the heavens.

"Not good!"

Lin Hao didn’t look back, but the nape of his neck tingled with a sense of imminent death. Almost instinctively, he flung Mo Changfeng forward and turned around...

"Kikiki, my boy, I must admit I’ve underestimated you, a mere Refining God Realm, yet your understanding of Primordial Qi is so profound. Of all the Earthlings I’ve encountered, you’re the first. A rare nourishment that comes once in a thousand years, don’t leave, just stay!"

The old woman’s voice was no longer kind but sinister and full of malice. Her eyes, too, were finally filled with evil. Just moments ago, she had been miles away, but now, she was right behind Lin Hao.

Before the sound of her voice had faded, the old woman raised her Skull Crutch and smashed it down towards Lin Hao’s head.

Whoosh!

The Skull Crutch was swung, the sound of splitting the sky echoing as if countless fierce ghosts roared alongside it.

"Let’s see what tricks you have left!"

The old woman intended to crush Lin Hao right then and there, but in the depths of Lin Hao’s eyes flashed a hint of joy.

This strike was not meant to kill. The old woman took action herself but did not wish to kill Lin Hao, thus holding back as she struck.

But by holding back, she left herself open!

This was it!

As the Skull Crutch came crashing down, Lin Hao activated his Ancient Swallowing Heaven Technique and, with a backward grasp, reached up.

He was clearly trying to grab the old woman’s Skull Crutch with his hand!

"Kikiki, overconfident fool, my evil God’s Skull Crutch is not something a mere Earthling like you can touch! Dare to block the crutch, and I shall break your arm!" the old woman sneered, with a slight flick of her wrist, the trajectory of the Skull Crutch altered, aiming straight for Lin Hao’s hand.

"Bring it on!"

Lin Hao was even more delighted. Not only did she hold back, but she also dared to change her move mid-strike. Now, in Lin Hao’s eyes, the old woman’s strike was full of flaws!

"Rivers and mountains, change hands!"

With a long howl, the world became still.

After a while, the old woman’s complexion drastically changed, and she broke out in cold sweat, shouting in alarm: "How is this possible? This cannot be!!"

The Skull Crutch, for some unknown reason, had indeed changed hands and was now being held by Lin Hao!
