Scarlet Eyed Beast's attack speed left everyone speechless!
But in the eyes of a high level Martial Emperor, Li Mo was slow. He dodged it with a flash.
This hundred year demon was the same as a human cultivator with a martial soul. It was no match for Li Mo.
And Li Mo didn't want to use his killing move on this guy. A hundred year demon had a high success rate in refining a core.
And judging by its size, it was at least two hundred years old. Who knew if it had a demon core.
If Li Mo made a mistake and destroyed the demon core, it wouldn't be worth it!
"Bastard!
How dare you behave in front of me? "
Li Mo slashed the Dragonscale Scarlet Sword at the demon's body.
The power of thunder and lightning formed in an instant.
Crack …
Cracks immediately appeared on the Scarlet Eyed Devil's body, and it was charred!
"Roar!
Roar … "
Scarlet Eyed Beast screamed.
Knowing it was no match, it shot a few more red beams at Li Mo before sinking into the sea!
"Bastard, still trying to run?"
It was a hundred year demon core in Li Mo's eyes. How could he let it go? White light flashed and Xuanyuan Mirror appeared in his hand.
Whoosh …
A dazzling white light enveloped the Scarlet Eyed Beast.
"Roar!"
The Scarlet Eyed Beast roared and its huge body flew in the air. It struggled with all its might but to no avail. In the end, it disappeared along with the white light.
With that done, Li Mo floated down to the bow.
"Many thanks for senior's saving grace. Please forgive junior for not knowing senior's identity!"
Wang Lei and Liu Xiong led the others in bowing to Li Mo, thanking him for saving their lives.
"No need to be so polite. Let's head back first!"
Seeing everyone's wounds, Li Mo decided to return to the ship and deal with them later.
…
Under Li Mo's protection, the journey back was smooth.
They ran into a few low level demon beasts, but Li Mo easily dealt with them.
When the boat reached the shore, everyone heaved a sigh of relief!
Two heavily injured cultivators left the group.
Li Mo's eyes roamed over the remaining six and landed on the shifty-eyed old man.
"Fellow Daoist, may I know your name?"
Everyone's eyes were on the old man, wondering why Li Mo suddenly asked for his name.
"I … I … This little old man travels the world, there's no need to mention my name!
But I didn't expect little brother to be so young … "
"I'm asking for your name!"
Li Mo interrupted the old man before he could finish.
His voice was ice-cold, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes!
"I …"
Seeing Li Mo's expression, the old man's legs shook, unable to speak.
"Humph!
What?
You don't want to say it?
That's fine, I have a way to find out your identity. "
Li Mo was about to attack the old man.
Plop …
Seeing this, the old man hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Don't!
Don't!
I'll talk, I'll talk!
My name is Nangong Can, but I am not a member of the Nangong Family.
I know about your relationship with the NanGong family, but this has nothing to do with me!
Please, have mercy and let me go! "
The others didn't know the reason behind this, or why the old man was so afraid of Li Mo. They could only watch from the sidelines.
Li Mo nodded, confirming his suspicions.
He also knew why the old man was avoiding his eyes. It seemed the NanGong family's wanted order had spread to all their forces.
And when they attacked the pirates, he noticed the old man's cultivation method was very similar to the Nangong Family's. That familiar feeling came from this cultivation method.
"Nangong Can?
Fine, since you're from the Nangong Family, I won't make things difficult for you.
But I want to know why you came to the vast Star Sea. How many of you are here? Don't tell me you're here to hunt demon beasts. "
"N-no, I'm not here to hunt demon beasts. The Nangong Family sent a secret edict.
They want us, the branch family, to find a ruin in the vast Star Sea.
I had no choice but to mix into this group of Demonic Beasts hunting team!
I'm the only one here. "
Li Mo couldn't help but frown.
"Does Nangong Yun also know of the Imperial Mausoleum? It seems I need to be ahead of them.
If I run into Nangong Yun, I'll be in deep trouble! "
Thinking of this, Li Mo's gaze fell on the petite Nangong Can and he sighed.
"Forget it, go!
You may be from the Nangong Family, but I see you're honest.
I'll let you go today! "
"Thank you!
Thank you! "
Nangong Can felt a weight lifted from his shoulders.
He thanked Li Mo and left in a hurry!
"Master, aren't you afraid he'll tip you off?"
Lil 'Red's voice rang in Li Mo's mind.
"Ha-ha … he doesn't have the guts.
He recognized me long ago. If he wanted to tip me off, he wouldn't have come with us!
Moreover, he didn't do anything harmful to me along the way. I really can't bear to kill him! "
Li Mo transmitted his voice to Lil 'Red.
"Ho!
I didn't expect my master to be so soft-hearted towards his enemies! "
Lil 'Red poked fun at Li Mo and went silent.
Li Mo chuckled, 'Since when did I become so kind?'
With Nangong Can's matter settled, Li Mo turned to Wng Lei and Liu Xiong's group.
In a flash of white, a giant Scarlet Eyed Monster appeared before them.
It was still alive, but Xuanyuan Mirror's restriction had left it exhausted.
"Everyone, this trip may not have been smooth sailing, but it wasn't without rewards.
This Scarlet Eyed Monster is our spoil.
Let's split it. At least you didn't risk your lives in vain! "
Everyone looked at each other, not expecting Li Mo to share the Scarlet Eyed Monster with them.
"Senior, you caught this Scarlet Eyed Monster all by yourself. We didn't do much.
How could we dare to share it with you? "
Wng Lei spoke respectfully to Li Mo.
"Brother Wang, just call me Li Mo.
'Senior, senior, senior, you're making me sound old!'
I may have caught this Scarlet Eyed Monster by myself, but everyone contributed.
Don't shirk your responsibilities. "
Li Mo's words eased the tension in their hearts.
This Scarlet Eyed Monster was full of treasures. They risked their lives on this trip, so who would want to return empty-handed?
"Ah!
Since brother Li Mo said so, Wng Lei, don't be so wishy-washy.
Just kill this Scarlet Eyed Monster and we'll both get what we want. I don't want to stay here a second longer. "
A surviving martial master spoke first, afraid Li Mo would change his mind.
"This …"
"Yeah, brother Wang, you should split the Scarlet Eyed Monster and let us all leave."
Seeing Wng Lei's hesitation, Li Mo urged again.
"Alright!
Since brother Li Mo said so, we'll split it.
Then we will split it. But let me be clear, if this Scarlet Eyed Monster has a demon core, it must be given to brother Li Mo! "
Getting the Scarlet Eyed Monster was already surprising enough. With Li Mo here, no one dared to be picky.
After agreeing, they waited impatiently for Wng Lei's share.
Wng Lei took out a dagger and easily cut open the Scarlet Eyed Monster's head.
This dagger was no ordinary item!
After searching for a while, a fist-sized, sparkling and translucent pearl appeared in front of everyone.
"Ah!
There's a demon core! "
"Heavens!
That's a hundred year demon core! "
"That's right. If we sell it, I wonder how much it would be worth!"
