In the forest, the scent of blood had not yet dissipated.

Not long after Yasuo and Jasmine left.

Several figures, wrapped in chilling Killing Intent, shot out from deep within the forest, landing beside Young Master Mo's cold corpse in the blink of an eye.

The middle-aged man leading them was burly, with a sinister face, and bore some resemblance to Young Master Mo between his brows.

It was Mo Tianxiong, the leader of the Bloody Guild.

When Mo Tianxiong saw his son's tragic, unclosed eyes, he felt a surge of blood rush to his head!

His vision swam before him!

"Mo'er!!"

A heart-wrenching roar made the leaves rustle and fall.

"Who?!!"

Mo Tianxiong's eyes instantly became bloodshot, like a Vicious ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) Beast.

"Who exactly did this?!!"

The surrounding subordinates were silent, no one daring to answer.

In this area, apart from them, there were no other survivors.

Just then.

A small, thin figure, trembling, walked out from the shadows not far away.

It was Xiao Wei, the assassin who had failed to ambush Yasuo earlier and managed to escape!

He had been hiding nearby, witnessing the entire process, but Yasuo's ferocity had scared him out of his wits, and he didn't dare to show his face.

"Gu... Guild Leader..." Xiao Wei's voice was shaking uncontrollably.

Mo Tianxiong suddenly turned his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on him: "Speak! What did you see?! Who is the murderer?!"

Xiao Wei fell to his knees with a thud, spilling everything he had seen like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

Including how Yasuo counter-killed the Zhao brothers, and how he ended Young Master Mo with a single sword... Mo Tianxiong's brows furrowed.

A Rank 10 Swordsman?

Killed Zhao Tianming and Zhao Tianqi?

Those two were skilled fighters above Rank 30!

"Are you sure?!" Mo Tianxiong's voice was bone-chilling.

Xiao Wei was scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering: "Abso— Absolutely! That person is very strong! I suspect... he is at least S-Rank!"

"S-Rank?" A hint of solemnity flashed in Mo Tianxiong's eyes.

"What's his name? What does he look like?"

Xiao Wei tried to recall: "Name... I don't know his name. But he has long black hair, tied back, very noticeable. His age... looks at least thirty."

Thirty years old, only Rank 10?

Doubts arose in Mo Tianxiong's mind.

This description, no matter how he heard it, sounded strange.

Xiao Wei suddenly remembered something and quickly added: "Oh right!Jasmine! Sister Jasmine should know more about him! But... but she seems to have been taken away by that person, and her life or death is unknown now!"

"My strength is low, I didn't dare to follow, so I've been waiting here for you to arrive!"

Mo Tianxiong nodded expressionlessly.

"You did well."

Xiao Wei's heart rejoiced at the words, and he was about to speak to claim credit.

Mo Tianxiong's gaze, however, suddenly turned cold, like ten thousand years of ice.

"So, you just watched Mo'er get killed, unmoved?"

"I treated you well on normal days."

"Is this how you repay me?"

Xiao Wei's face turned pale, and he repeatedly kowtowed: "Guild Leader, spare my life! I... I didn't not want to save him! It's just... that person was too strong, I was no match at all!"

Mo Tianxiong slowly shook his head.

"That's not what I want to hear."

He winked at a subordinate beside him.

The subordinate understood.

"Pfft!"

A cold flash!

Xiao Wei's head flew high, his face still showing terror and bewilderment.

Blood stained the ground beneath Mo Tianxiong's feet... On the other side.

Zhou Huai, controlling Yasuo, had already arrived on a road that was a necessary path to Clear Water Lake.

Jasmine was beside him, her eyes closed, her forehead slightly sweating, clearly concentrating on using her Spirit Eagle for reconnaissance.

Zhou Huai then returned his consciousness to his main body.

He took out his phone and subtly sent a message asking Ye Xi if she had departed.

Ye Xi quickly replied: "Mm-hmm, Brother Zhou Huai, we just left the city and are on our way to Clear Water Lake!"

Zhou Huai's lips curved into an almost imperceptible smile, and he continued to instruct: "Be sure to be careful on the way, pay attention to safety."

"If you encounter any danger, let that annoying Lu Qi guy go up and block the blade, and you find a chance to run first, understand?"

Ye Xi sent a smiling emoji: "Got it, Brother Zhou Huai, don't worry!"

"Clear Water Lake is so close to Tianhai City, what danger could there be?"

"Moreover, we have three professional bodyguards in our car, they will protect our safety, nothing will happen!"

Putting down his phone, Zhou Huai's brows furrowed slightly.

He had originally planned to have Yasuo intercept Lu Qi's car halfway and give that kid an unforgettable lesson.

He hadn't expected there to be three professional bodyguards in the car.

This was a minor trouble.

Before that, he had to first figure out the strength of these three bodyguards.

If their Rank was too high, or their profession combination was too tricky, he would have to temporarily abandon the idea of making a move and look for another opportunity.

Approximately ten minutes later.

Jasmine, who had been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them, her voice carrying a hint of urgency: "Boss, it seems... it seems I've found the target vehicle!"

Zhou Huai's spirits lifted: "Tell me the personnel information inside the target vehicle."

Jasmine composed herself and quickly reported: "There are five people in the car in total."

"Three men and two women."

"The one in the front passenger seat should be the beautiful girl you mentioned, a Rank 6 Holy Light Chanter."

"The driver is a Rank 16 Holy Shield Knight."

"The young man sitting in the middle of the back row is a Rank 6 Blazing Mage."

"The remaining two are a Rank 16 Forest Ranger and a Rank 16 Life Priest."

The bodyguards are all Rank 16?

Zhou Huai understood.

These three were probably not just bodyguards, but also Lu Qi and Ye Xi's teammates for this instance trip.

After all, according to the instance rules of this world, the Rank difference between team members cannot exceed ten Ranks.

The Ranks of these three happened to be at this limit.

Since the opponent's highest combat power was only Rank 16.

Then his confidence had increased significantly!

Zhou Huai looked at Jasmine beside him, his tone calm: "You wait here."

"If anything happens to me, don't mind me, leave immediately on your own."

Jasmine's face turned a little pale at the words, but she still nodded obediently.

"Boss, you... you must be careful!"

Zhou Huai said no more, controlling Yasuo, his figure flashed, and he appeared directly in the middle of the road, standing with his hands behind his back... At this moment, inside the speeding SUV.

Lu Qi watched Ye Xi in the front passenger seat, who kept her head down, fiddling with her phone, occasionally revealing a sweet smile.

She was clearly chatting with someone.

From getting in the car until now, she hadn't even looked him in the eye.

This made Lu Qi's heart burn with jealousy, and he spoke in a sarcastic tone:

"What? Still texting that good-for-nothing Zhou Huai?"

Ye Xi looked up, a hint of disgust flashing in her clear eyes, and said coldly: "None of your business."

"Also, Brother Zhou Huai is not a good-for-nothing!"

"He's a million times stronger than you!"

Lu Qi's handsome face instantly flashed with a hint of ferocity, but he quickly concealed it.

"I advise you to stay away from him."

"It won't be long before you become my woman."

Ye Xi's pretty face was covered in frost: "You're dreaming!"

Lu Qi's lips curved into a cruel arc: "Whether I'm dreaming or not, it's not up to you to decide."

"Once our two families officially announce our engagement, if you dare to go find that good-for-nothing again."

"I promise, I will personally kill him!"

The chill around Ye Xi intensified, and her beautiful eyes burned with anger.

"If you say one more word, believe it or not, I'll get out of the car right now?!"

Seeing this, Lu Qi immediately put on a smiling face and waved his hand: "Oh, I was just joking, Sister Xi'er, don't get excited."

Just then—

"Screech—!"

A piercing brake sound suddenly rang out!

The huge inertia caused everyone in the car to lean forward unexpectedly.

When the vehicle finally came to a complete stop.

Lu Qi immediately became furious, cursing at the driver:

"How the hell are you driving?! Do you want to die?!"

The Holy Shield Knight driving looked wronged and still shaken.

"Young... Young Master, it's not that I wanted to brake, it's... it's someone suddenly blocking the middle of the road ahead!"

"Blocking the road? Who the hell has the guts to block my car?!"

Lu Qi in the back seat leaned his head forward, looking ahead with an annoyed expression.

"They really have a death wish!"

However.

When he clearly saw that familiar figure in the middle of the road ahead, his whole body was struck by lightning, instantly freezing!

A curse word, uncontrollably, burst from his mouth.

"What the f*ck?!"
