Li Mo's mission this time was to kill an eighth level demon beast. Li Mo took a wooden tile with Demon Flame Bear carved on it and hurried to the city gates.
Li Mo arrived at the city gates and saw the three men in black were nowhere to be seen. He rode his horse and galloped towards the Misty Woods.
Just then, three black steeds came out of the gates. The riders were the same three men Li Mo saw when he entered the city.
"Big brother, is there something wrong with this kid?"
"En, I can feel young master's aura on him, but it's not obvious.
But we don't have a clue so we can only start with him! "
"Big brother, second brother, let's cut the crap.
Who cares if he has anything to do with young master's disappearance. We'll know once we catch him! "
"Yes, third brother is right.
We'll find a deserted place along the way and capture him. We'll naturally know everything! "
…
The three discussed in low voices then whipped their horses in the direction Li Mo disappeared.
But Li Mo was oblivious to the danger he was in and was still on his way.
"Master, I don't want to disturb your good mood.
But I still have to tell you that we seem to be being followed. There are three people rapidly approaching us! "
Ao Ying's voice rang in Li Mo's mind, raising his guard.
"Someone is closing in on us?"
Ao Ying's perception as a sacred beast was far above Li Mo's. Li Mo never doubted her words.
"Correct, and you've seen them before.
They are the three men in black we saw when we entered the city! "
"Humph!
It seems that they really suspect me, but what makes me wonder is how did they do it? "
Li Mo was very careful when he killed Zhang Yunfei.
Moreover, there was no one nearby at all. He really couldn't figure out why these people would suspect him.
"Hehe … Master, it's actually very easy to suspect you.
You were in contact with Zhang Yunfei, so you must have his weak aura.
As long as they have someone good at tracking, finding you won't be a problem! "
"Oh!
So that's how it is. "
Li Mo was enlightened by Ao Ying's explanation.
This made him a little worried. He wasn't worried that the three people behind him would catch up to him. With his current strength, the three of them were no match for him at all.
What worried Li Mo the most was that the three of them would go back and report him. He would be in deep trouble then!
"Ao Ying, are there any others behind these three?"
"Master, not yet!
Why don't we just leave one of them alive and interrogate him? "
Ao Ying understood Li Mo's meaning and spoke.
"Yes!
Looks like this is the only way! "
…
While Li Mo and Ao Ying were in the middle of their mental conversation, Li Mo heard the sound of galloping behind him.
"Hehe … you're quite fast!"
Li Mo turned his horse around and looked behind him.
A moment later, the three men dressed in black appeared in his line of sight.
Whoosh …
Seeing Li Mo standing in the middle of the road, the three stopped their horses and stood ten meters apart from each other.
"Who are you people?
Why are you following me? "
Li Mo was the first to speak.
"Who we are isn't important. We only followed you to ask about someone.
Little brother, have you seen him before? "
As he spoke, the leader of the group took out a portrait from his bosom.
Li Mo fixed his eyes on Zhang Yuntian and his lips curled into a sneer.
"I've seen him before, but …"
The man interrupted Li Mo's words. "You're right.
"You've seen him?
Where is he? "
"What's the rush? Let me finish!
I'm afraid you won't be able to find him, because there's nothing left of him! "
Li Mo said leisurely with a hint of playfulness in his voice.
"What?
Say it again? "
The man's body couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, and his tone became unusually cold!
"Are you deaf?
I said he's dead. I even burned his body to ashes! "
"Ah!
You're courting death! Kill him! "
The man took out a short sword and charged Li Mo.
The two men behind him also took out their weapons and charged Li Mo from both sides.
The three of them surrounded Li Mo in an instant.
Li Mo took out the Dragonscale Scarlet Sword from his storage belt and used Moon Decapitation on the man.
Whoosh …
Looking at the scarlet-gold half-moon light that was getting closer and closer to him, the man did not panic at all.
He believed Li Mo's 45 level couldn't hurt him. But when Li Mo's Moon Decapitation hit him, he knew he was wrong.
Not just wrong, but gravely so!
Boom …
A loud explosion!
The man's purple armor shattered and he was like a kite with its string cut as he flew for tens of meters before crashing on the ground, dead or alive!
The remaining two stared at Li Mo in disbelief.
"You want my life? You don't have the right!"
Li Mo spoke plainly then turned to the man on the left and used Eviscerate.
Whoosh …
Li Mo killed the man without any suspense.
When the remaining man saw that his comrade had been killed in less than two rounds, he no longer had the courage to stay any longer.
He wanted to get on his horse and leave, but Li Mo wouldn't let him.
"Lightning power!"
With a shout, he swung the Dragonscale Scarlet Sword and a bolt of blue lightning shot out.
Kacha …
Thump!
The man, along with the horse he was riding on, turned into charcoal. He could not be more dead.
With that done, Li Mo strolled over to the man who was sent flying by Moon Decapitation.
Li Mo couldn't help but smile at the sight of his bloodstained body and his closed eyes.
"I know how much strength I used. If you keep playing dead, I will make sure you die for real!"
"Don't!
Don't!
Don't!
Little brother, please don't kill me. I had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai.
Please let me live! "
The man endured the pain as he crawled up. One of his arms was crippled by Li Mo's attack.
"Humph!
Isn't it a bit too late to beg for mercy?
When you were about to kill me just now, you were very awe-inspiring! "
"No!
No!
No, little brother, I was wrong. Please have mercy! "
"Ha-ha … alright!
Then I'll give you a chance.
I'll ask you a question and you must answer truthfully! "
"Of course, of course!
How could I hide anything from little brother? "
"En!
At least you know what's good for you. Is there anyone else besides the three of you who knows my whereabouts? "
Li Mo stared into the man's eyes, which struck fear into the depths of his heart.
"Little brother, don't worry. I swear there's no one else who knows.
When I sensed my family's young master's aura on you, I was greedy and didn't go back to report. I brought my two men and chased after you.
I … "
After saying that, the man suddenly paused, seemingly realizing that he had said something wrong.
"Ha-ha … I believe you're telling the truth. Since there's no one else who knows, it'll be easy!"
Li Mo's eyes flashed and a golden light flashed on the man's neck.
The man slumped to the ground, dying with his eyes wide open.
With nothing to worry about, Li Mo cleaned up the battlefield and rode to his destination, the Misty Forest!
