Chapter 270 A Barrage of Arrows, Protecting Wan Baode
The moment the crossbow string vibrated, the Radiant Orange-grade Shadow Chasing Purple Gold Crossbow emitted a deep hum, and the spirit arrow instantly transformed into hundreds of sharp arrows, shooting towards Mo Ming like a tidal wave.
The arrows drew sharp trajectories in the air, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, as if they were about to tear the entire world apart.
Each arrow gleamed with a cold light, containing powerful spiritual energy, like countless deadly rays of light, heading straight for Mo Ming.
Mo Ming's eyes showed a hint of seriousness. Faced with this overwhelming rain of arrows, he knew he couldn't take it head-on.
With a burst of speed from his feet, he leaped into the air like an arrow, gripping the Demon-Suppressing Sword tightly in both hands. His spiritual power surged wildly within him, and flames quickly adhered to the sword's blade.
Enveloped in flames, the sword radiated a blazing light, resembling a sword burning with fire.
"Fire Dance, Flame Dragon!"
Mo Ming let out a low shout and slashed fiercely, unleashing a fiery sword aura that swept across the sky.
The sword energy, like a giant fiery dragon, carried a world-destroying momentum as it met the thousands of arrows head-on. Wherever the fiery sword energy passed, the air was distorted by the heat, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.
The sword energy collided violently with thousands of arrows in mid-air, unleashing a deafening roar. Flames intertwined with the arrows, forming a blazing sea of fire.
The arrows, scorched by the flames, broke and fell, turning into countless specks of light that disappeared into the air.
The fiery sword energy continued to advance, devouring all the remaining arrows, and finally burst into a huge ball of fire in the air, illuminating the entire sky.
The flames gradually subsided, and the sky returned to calm, but a charred mark remained on the ground. Mo Ming landed steadily, looking at the man slowly rising in the distance with some surprise in his eyes.
"They actually escaped?" Mo Ming looked around but couldn't find any trace of the demonic puppet. He sneered, "It seems that your assistance was sacrificed to save your dog's life."
"Damn it!" the man roared, but it was too late for him to change anything.
Mo Ming rushed in front of him in one stride, the Demon-Suppressing Sword in his hand burning hot, the tip of the sword pressed against the man's throat.
"Looks like I've won this time, ADC," Mo Ming said coldly, a murderous glint in his eyes.
Cold sweat poured down the man's forehead. He felt death approaching. "You... don't kill me. I have many treasures in my spatial ring. I can give them all to you."
Mo Ming sneered, "Kill you, and everything will still be mine."
With a slight press of the sword tip, a trickle of blood seeped from the man's throat.
"You...you can't kill me! I'm from the Eastern Main City Guard! If you kill me, the Eastern Main City will never let you go!" The man's voice trembled, his eyes filled with fear.
"Hmph! If I kill you here, who will know it was me?" Mo Ming appeared nonchalant, but in reality, he already had some suspicions in his mind.
Seeing Mo Ming's murderous look, the man dared not be negligent, fearing that if he hesitated for even a moment, his throat would be slashed by the tip of a sword. He quickly continued, "Every member of our Eastern Main City Guard is marked with a mark that records a scene before death and transmits it back to the control center in the main city."
Upon hearing this, Mo Ming's heart tightened. There was such a prop?
Are you trying to scam me?
"Such a prop exists? Do you think this is a novel? You're going to give me this soul imprint stuff?"
"Really, really! I heard that this is a Radiant Orange-level item that the city lord found in a resource box. It can mark multiple people. Don't believe me? Look!"
As he spoke, the man rolled up his sleeves, revealing a striking blue mark on his left arm. Even though the skin and flesh were badly burned, the mark remained remarkably clear, as if it had been projected onto his skin.
Mo Ming had basically come to believe him, and seemed to have understood his previous doubts as well. His eyes narrowed slightly.
"You pretended to be dead earlier so that you could use me to kill your companions. Then the mark would transmit my image back to your so-called control center, and I would become a wanted criminal for killing members of the Eastern Main City Guard."
Then you can kill me, not only keeping my spatial ring for yourself, but also going back to claim credit?
Having his scheme exposed by Mo Ming, the man lowered his head, his face turning somewhat ugly.
"Uh...yes! I never expected to be caught off guard and fall into your trap."
This person is ruthless; in order to keep the treasure for himself, he actually devised such a scheme.
"what's your name?"
"Wanbaode!"
"Where did you meet Xu Hai?"
"That direction, about six or seven hundred meters from here."
As he spoke, Wan Baode pointed in the direction they had come from.
How is he?
"His complexion doesn't look good; he looks like he's been poisoned!"
Mo Ming realized that it must be the poison from the Myriad Poison Swamp.
What is the composition of your escort team? Whom do you serve under? How many people from your team entered the secret realm on this trip, and how did you and he meet?
Mo Ming looked at the other person who had fallen to the ground.
"The Eastern Main City Guard is divided into the City Lord's Mansion Garrison and the Regional Guard."
I am under the overall coordination of the regional guard team, and I work under Captain Li Chuang of the Eighth Outer District Guard Team.
The number of people in each guard team is uncertain, but the captain is at least at the Crimson Purple level. Our captain is also at the Crimson Purple level, but his strength far surpasses mine.
The man glanced at Mo Ming and continued, "And every captain in the city lord's mansion garrison is a Shining Orange-level warrior!"
Upon hearing this, a look of shock flashed in Mo Ming's eyes. All the captains were at the Radiant Orange level! Such a high level of equipment?
"I don't know how many people came in the guard team, but our captain came too!"
Li Hao and I were transported to the same area by chance, and since we were relatively close, we traveled together.
"Wan Baode, Wan Baode, you're a real beast! For personal gain, you'd even betray a comrade you've spent every day with?"
"Hmph, people die for money, birds die for food. I didn't kill him with my own hands. Besides, he and I weren't on the same team. He was under Liang Dongshan's command in the Outer Seventh District. We just knew each other."
Outer District 7, Liang Dongshan?!
A fleeting, almost imperceptible look crossed Mo Ming's eyes.
"He's here too?"
"Ok!"
"How strong is he?"
"I don't know about that, but I heard that he obtained a legacy while he was traveling, and his strength is not weak!"
Could it be the incident at the Eight Gates Ruins?
"Alright, you've asked all your questions. Now... get going!"
"You...you're breaking your promise! I've already answered your questions, and you still won't let me go?" Wan Baode was terrified.
"Dishonest? When did I ever say I wouldn't kill you if you answered the question?"
Wan Baode was stunned; Mo Ming had indeed never said that.
"Aren't you afraid of offending our captain? He's very strong! If you kill me, he won't let you off!"
"Hmph! Killing one is the same as killing two, not to mention you were the ones who provoked me first."
"Let me tell you the truth, if you want to kill me, don't even think about it being your captain, or even the city lord's son! I won't tolerate it!"
Having said that, Mo Ming raised his sword and brought it down, severing the throat with a single strike.
After skillfully taking the spatial rings from Wan Baode and Li Hao, Mo Ming headed back in the direction they had come from.
"Xu Hai, you better pray you don't run into me!"
