Venerable Demon Chef
Chapter 338 - 335: I Am Reality (Part 1)
"Cut the crap. Get out of my way, or I’ll take her life right now!"
Huangfu Jun flicked his wrist. The gleam of his sword flashed, slitting Niu Kexin’s skin. Blood trickled down her snow-white neck, a jarring crimson.
The Feng Family’s attitude toward Mo Qi had shocked him. Although he didn’t understand the reason, he saw a glimmer of hope in it.
Niu Kexin had admitted herself that she was Qin Daye’s woman—which meant she was Mo Qi’s woman—and Mo Qi’s reaction clearly showed he cared deeply for her.
So, as long as he had Niu Kexin in his grasp and the support of his Flying Magical Artifact, if he played his cards right, he might not only escape with his life but also take her with him.
The allure Niu Kexin held for Huangfu Jun was undeniably immense; after all, she was a one-hundred-percent match for him.
A cold light flashed in Mo Qi’s eyes when he saw Niu Kexin get hurt.
However, his expression held only killing intent, not a hint of worry.
"Lad, what do you say now? As long as you apologize for your previous rudeness, we’ll help you rescue her!" the old man from the Feng Family said with a smile, stroking his beard.
’Geniuses are always arrogant and temperamental. It’s normal.’
But as long as they hadn’t fully matured, the Feng Family had no fewer than a hundred ways to make such geniuses submit and feel grateful.
However, they had still underestimated Mo Qi.
"Shut up! I don’t need you interfering in my business!" Mo Qi shot the members of the Feng Family a cold glance before turning his gaze to Huangfu Jun.
"First you hurt my brother, now you hurt my Sister Kexin. You deserve to die!"
Hearing this, Huangfu Jun tightened his grip on his sword and sneered, "It’s not for you to decide whether I deserve to die. I don’t want to waste any more words with you. I’ll count to three. If the Feng Family is still here after I’m done, you can prepare to collect this beauty’s corpse!"
"Three!"
Huangfu Jun began his countdown the moment he finished speaking.
Not only that, but a thick Energy Protection Shield materialized over the surface of the Flying Magical Artifact to guard against sneak attacks from the Feng Family and Mo Qi.
Huangfu Jun was confident that no matter how strong the members of the Feng Family were, they couldn’t possibly breach the defenses of a Fortress-level Flying Magical Artifact in an instant.
Therefore, he had more than enough time to kill Niu Kexin before the Flying Magical Artifact was destroyed.
He believed Mo Qi would definitely stop them.
"Two!"
As the countdown continued, the blade pressed against Niu Kexin’s neck glowed with an ever-fiercer light.
"Do it!"
Mo Qi barked.
The Pig Emperor, which had been lying on his shoulder, abruptly sat up and opened its mouth to let out the timeless opening of its poem: "Ahhhhhh~"
That "Ahhh" was completely unexpected.
To unleash its full power, to prevent Huangfu Jun from having any chance to resist, and to ensure Niu Kexin’s absolute safety, the Pig Emperor had been brewing this from the very beginning.
As such, the cry could only be described as world-shaking, enough to make gods and ghosts weep.
The members of the Feng Family closest to Mo Qi bore the brunt of it. Several experts at the Divine Sea Half-Immortal Realm felt as if they’d been struck by lightning, their Seas of Consciousness and True Essence thrown into chaos simultaneously.
If not for their profound Realms and their quick use of Immortal Power to protect their bodies and retreat, they probably wouldn’t have even been able to maintain flight and would have plummeted from the sky.
The Pig Emperor’s voice spread outwards at extreme speed. Anyone who heard even a snippet of it felt their minds go blank as they staggered, unable to stand firm.
For a moment, the entire Imperial City was plunged into a state of inexplicable panic.
And as the primary target of the Pig Emperor’s attack, Huangfu Jun’s mind went BUZZ and his thoughts ground to a halt, even with the protection of his Flying Magical Artifact.
The longsword held to Niu Kexin’s neck drooped to one side.
Wu the Old Ghost and the others, who had long since finished setting up around the Flying Magical Artifact, simultaneously activated the Array triggers Mo Qi had taught them.
BOOM! CRACK!
A massive spatial rift appeared, swallowing the entire Flying Magical Artifact.
Mo Qi leaped forward, diving into the spatial rift right after it.
BOOM!
The spatial rift sealed shut, and the negative effects of the Pig Emperor’s poetic voice dissipated along with it.
The members of the Feng Family, Li Shimu included, and all the other experts present stared dumbfounded at the spot where the spatial rift had closed, completely lost in a daze.
"Spacewalking... that’s an Immortal’s ability!"
"Does that kid have an Immortal backing him?!"
The experts from the Feng Family were aghast. Immortal and Demi-Immortal were two entirely different concepts.
The gap between them was like the one between a mortal with no Cultivation and a Demi-Immortal!
That’s right!
Not the gap between the Void Realm and a Demi-Immortal, but the one between a mortal and a Demi-Immortal!
If Mo Qi truly had an Immortal behind him, then the Feng Family’s attempt to recruit him was a joke.
In the Immortal Realm, an Immortal might not be much, but in the Mortal District, in the Hall of Envoys, an Immortal was an existence that absolutely surpassed the Peak!
It wasn’t that the Feng Family and the Huangfu Family didn’t have Immortal Level experts of their own, but rather that the Mortal District lacked dense Immortal Power and specific Immortal Grass and Immortal Elixirs.
Once you reached the Immortal Level, if you were injured, it was extremely difficult to recover in this kind of environment.
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, Immortals would not engage in major battles with each other.
"Li Family boy, what’s the deal with your Blessed One?" the Feng Family elder asked, looking at Li Shimu.
Li Shimu shook his head with a wry smile. "Reporting to Senior, this junior doesn’t know either."
"Little girl from the Liu Family, do you know?" the elder turned his gaze to Liu Ruyan.
"Hmph!"
Liu Ruyan sniffed disdainfully, turned her head, and ignored the people from the Feng Family.
’In any case, she followed Mo Qi’s lead in everything, loving what he loved and hating what he hated.’
The members of the Feng Family exchanged a look but said nothing more.
’What else could they do? Just wait!’
...
「Within the Pass.」 A behemoth suddenly fell from the sky—it was none other than the Huangfu Family’s Fortress-level Flying Magical Artifact.
Mo Qi followed close behind. He didn’t have time to investigate why the Women’s Corps and the group of Vajra and Void Realm experts Within the Pass were all passed out on the ground.
The moment he entered the area Within the Pass, he immediately invoked the Power of the Dragon Vein. Seizing the opportunity while Huangfu Jun had yet to recover from the Pig Emperor’s cry, he shattered the Flying Magical Artifact’s Energy Shield with a single slap.
Then, he rescued Niu Kexin.
"Sister Kexin, you’ve suffered." With a thought, Mo Qi sent a stream of Life Aura from the Five Elements Tree into Niu Kexin’s body.
The wound on Niu Kexin’s neck healed instantly, leaving not even the slightest scar.
"Little Brother Mo!" Niu Kexin’s face broke into a smile as she threw herself emotionally into Mo Qi’s arms.
"I knew you would come for me."
Mo Qi held Niu Kexin tightly, inhaling the Energy on her that was nearly identical to his own. Their two hearts and two minds naturally melded together.
It was a mutual attraction, a mutual familiarity, that originated from the depths of their souls.
Without any conscious effort, the two of them blended as perfectly as water and milk; their auras and their fluctuations fused in perfect harmony.
It was a peculiar state where she knew his thoughts, and he knew hers.
Neither of them spoke another word, yet in a brief instant, they exchanged everything that had happened to each of them during their time apart. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"Mu Xue... She deserves death!"
Mo Qi was enraged. He backhanded Huangfu Jun and his men—who had just regained consciousness and were about to take control of the Flying Magical Artifact—and slammed them into the ground.
