"Let you go?
If I were the one lying on the ground, would you let me go?
I, Li Mo, have never offended anyone from your guild, yet you're forcing me over a dead Qian Peng.
Fine!
Since you want to avenge Qian Peng, I, Li Mo, will accept your challenge.
From now on, your Deep Ink City will be my second enemy. I will do everything in my power to make your guild disappear from Tianfeng Empire. "
At Li Mo's words, the man's expression turned to despair.
He didn't think Li Mo was bluffing. Judging by his power today, Li Mo wasn't lying.
Given enough time, he was more than capable of doing what he said.
Even a colossus like Veluriyam City was destroyed by him, let alone a small, unknown guild like theirs.
He also knew that no matter how much he begged, Li Mo wouldn't let him go. He only had himself to blame for underestimating his enemy.
Li Mo didn't have a shred of pity in his heart at the man's despair.
He knew that being merciful to the enemy was being cruel to oneself. Step by step, he walked towards the burly man who had no strength to fight back.
Pff …
The Dragonscale Scarlet Sword pierced the man's heart.
With him done, Li Mo buried all the corpses of the Deep Ink City members.
Due to the destruction of the trees and vegetation, it was impossible for Li Mo to hide the traces of the battle.
In the end, Li Mo could only give up and continue to the edge of the Misty Forest.
By the time he reached the familiar edge, the sky was already dark. Fires could be seen in the distance.
"It seems that the Demonic Beasts in this border area have been hunted down. This group of people actually lit a bonfire here without any scruples!"
Li Mo shook his head with a bitter smile and jumped on a tree.
He planned to spend the night here and enter the forest the next morning.
"Ah …"
After who knew how long, Li Mo was startled awake by a scream.
He immediately looked in the direction of the sound. It was where the bonfire was lit.
Despite the distance, Li Mo could still see what was going on with his sharp eyes.
A group of black-colored demonic beasts were attacking a group of people.
Li Mo even saw some people lying on the ground as demon beasts' dinner.
A middle-aged man who looked like a mentor was confronting the demonic beasts.
The shout just now had come from one of the female students behind him.
"Sigh!
I really don't know what kind of teacher you are. How dare you light a bonfire to sleep in the Misty Forest? Aren't you just asking for trouble? "
Li Mo was dissatisfied with the guild's teacher's actions, but he couldn't just stand by and watch.
As he muttered to himself, he began to rush toward the scene of the incident.
…
"Shuang 'er, hurry up and leave this place with Muqing. I can still hold on for a little longer!"
Faced with the demonic beasts' attacks, the middle-aged mentor shouted to the man and woman behind him.
"No!
If Tutor Liu is going to die, we'll die with him.
We're not leaving! "
The girl called Shuang 'er said with a tearful voice.
"Instructor Liu, it's all my fault. If I hadn't ignored your advice and insisted on lighting the bonfire, we wouldn't have suffered such a disaster and killed so many of our companions. Today, let me atone for my sins with my death!"
The young man didn't listen to the middle-aged mentor and continued to hold his weapon against the demonic beasts.
"Stop messing around. Now is not the time to be a hero.
If you still want to see me as a mentor, then hurry up and leave! "
…
While the three were still arguing, the demonic beasts finally couldn't hold back any longer and launched a frenzied attack.
The demonic beasts weren't big, about the size of a leopard.
However, the attacks of these Demonic Beasts were abnormally powerful and extremely fast!
Whoosh …
Under the light of the fire, the black shadows revealed their sharp teeth and claws that shone with a cold glint.
"Run!"
The mentor named Liu pushed the two behind him away.
He immediately raised the scepter in his hand high up, and a white light temporarily blocked the attack of the group of demonic beasts.
But under the biting and tearing of the demonic beasts, the white light gradually dimmed and disappeared.
"No …"
Shuang 'er and Muqing didn't want to leave, raising their scepters to help the mentor fend off the demonic beasts' attack.
But their low level didn't slow the white light's speed.
"Roar …"
Just when the three were on the verge of collapse, the demonic beasts outside the white light howled in anguish.
The biggest one, the leader of the demonic beasts, was ripped to shreds.
When the other Demonic Beasts saw this, they all stopped their attacks on the three of them.
Dark green eyes stared at the figure in the middle. It was none other than Li Mo, who arrived just in time.
"Wu …"
Seeing their leader dead, the demonic beasts howled again and the dozen demonic beasts scattered into the darkness.
With the danger averted, the three were overjoyed and rushed to Li Mo.
"I am Liu Zhangshan from Snow Cherry Town's guild. Greetings, benefactor!
These are my students, Shuang 'er and Muqing! "
Li Mo sized them up and couldn't help but feel doubtful.
According to the empire's rules, only those above the 50th level could become a mentor. But this Liu Zhangshan was only at the 45th level.
On the other hand, the man and woman were only in their twenties.
"Snow Cherry Town's guild?
Why haven't I heard of it? "
"Benefactor may not be aware, but our Snow Cherry Town's guild was only registered a few days ago.
Benefactor is naturally unfamiliar with our guild. "
"A newly established guild?
Are you their mentor? "
Li Mo asked the question in his mind.
"I am only at the 45th level. How could I be their mentor?
However, since our guild has just been established and we are still too weak, we can't afford to offend anyone.
No one wanted to be a mentor here, so I took on the role for the time being, guiding them in their cultivation.
But … I didn't expect that the first time we entered the Dense Fog Forest, we would have met with such a calamity.
I'm afraid we … "
"Oh!
So that's how it is. But you can't play with your lives by lighting a bonfire at night!
Don't you know it's dangerous? "
Hearing Li Mo's reprimand, Liu Zhangshan looked in shame at the corpses of the demonic beasts, tears streaming down his face.
"You can't blame Mentor Liu. It was I-I who insisted on lighting the bonfire.
I let my companions down. "
Mu Qing stood up and explained to Li Mo in a hurry, taking all the blame on herself.
Li Mo's anger rose even higher.
"You're just a student. Why would your mentor listen to you?"
"My father founded the guild and I insisted on it until he relented.
It's all my fault! It's all my fault! "
Li Mo finally understood. 'So this young man is the young master of Snow Cherry Town. No wonder Liu Zhangshan listens to him.'
"Forget it, I'm not here to blame any of you.
The demonic beast that attacked you was a fifth level demon, a sinister demon wolf. They are extremely vengeful.
I think you'd better leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you. "
Li Mo spoke leisurely and walked into the darkness.
