Outside Sunnywood City.
Su Mo held Xi 'er's hand and walked on the mountain path.
"Xi 'er, when we enter the mountains, hide behind me when we encounter demonic beasts."
Su Mo said to Xi 'er.
"Okay!"
Xi 'er nodded.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the Breezewind Mountain and entered the mountain range.
"Roar!"
A Class 2 Lv 1 Lion pounced on them, and Su Mo killed it with a punch.
"Xi 'er, close your eyes!"
Su Mo said to Xi 'er.
Xi 'er was stunned, but she did not ask any questions. She closed her eyes obediently.
Su Mo released his Martial Soul and immediately devoured the demonic beast's Beast Soul and blood essence.
Su Mo did not ask Xi 'er to close her eyes because he did not trust her and was afraid that she would discover his secret.
He did not want her to be traumatized. After all, it would be too horrible to suck a demonic beast's corpse dry.
"Alright, Xi 'er, let's go!"
Su Mo said as he took out the demonic beast's Demonic Core.
Xi 'er opened her eyes and was stunned to see the emaciated corpse of the Demonic Beast.
"Brother Su Mo, how did this happen?"
Xi 'er was surprised, and her eyes were filled with confusion.
The demonic beast, which had been tall and mighty, had turned into a skinny corpse in the blink of an eye.
She knew that Su Mo must have done this.
She also knew that Su Mo had asked her to close her eyes because he did not want her to see it.
However, she could not help but ask.
"All of its blood essence was devoured by me. That's why it became like this."
Su Mo did not hide anything and told her the truth.
"Devoured?"
Xi 'er was even more confused. She did not understand how a demonic beast's blood essence could be devoured.
"Haha, Xi 'er, if you want to know, I'll let you see it later."
Su Mo said with a smile.
Xi 'er shook her head and said, "Since you don't want me to see it, I won't."
"Let's go, Brother Su Mo!"
The outskirts of the mountains were filled with demonic beasts below Class 3 Lv 1.
Su Mo did not walk very fast because he was carrying Xi 'er.
Along the way, Su Mo killed all the demonic beasts he encountered.
He devoured all the Beast Souls and blood essence.
Every time she killed a demonic beast, she would close her eyes despite her curiosity.
Although Su Mo had told her that she could watch, she insisted not to.
She said, "If Brother Su Mo doesn't want me to see it, then I won't."
Su Mo shook his head helplessly at her determined look.
Boom!
Another Class 3 Lv 1 Demonic Beast was killed.
Just as Su Mo was about to devour it, his expression changed and he looked behind him.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Seven or eight black-clothed men suddenly appeared from the forest behind him and quickly surrounded him and Xi 'er.
"What are you doing?"
Su Mo quickly pulled Xi 'er to his side, looked at them, and asked with a frown.
These people held steel blades in their hands, and the aura on their bodies was vigorous. They were all experts, and without saying anything, they surrounded them. Clearly, they did not come with good intentions.
"Su Mo, hand over this lady, and I'll consider leaving your corpse intact."
The leader was a tall middle-aged man. His face was cold and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
Su Mo raised his eyebrows.
The other party had come for Xi 'er, and they knew his identity. It seemed like they had come prepared.
"Who the hell are you people?"
Su Mo asked sternly.
"You're about to die, so you don't need to know."
The middle-aged man sneered, waved his hand, and said coldly, "Kill him!"
The middle-aged man did not want to waste time, so he quickly gave the order.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The others waved their long sabers and immediately attacked Su Mo.
They were all experts at Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm, and their aura was extremely powerful.
They could even fight an ordinary expert at Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm if they joined forces.
Swoosh!
Holding Xi 'er's hand, Su Mo's figure flashed, leaving a faint residual shadow, and they dodged the attacks.
"Xi 'er, lie on my back and hold on tight!"
Su Mo hurriedly let Xi 'er lie on his back.
Although these people were at Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm, it was impossible for them to kill him.
What made Su Mo slightly afraid was the middle-aged leader, who was an expert at the Peak Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm. He was much more powerful than these people.
In a one-on-one fight, Su Mo was not afraid of even an expert at the Peak Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm. Even if he could not defeat him, he could easily escape.
However, his first priority now was to protect Xi 'er.
Xi 'er also knew that she was in great danger, so she hurriedly lay on Su Mo's back.
Su Mo did not have time to enjoy the warm and fragrant body on his back, and the long sabers attacked again.
Whoosh!
Su Mo used his body movement and quickly flashed to the side of a man in black.
Clang!
The sword was unsheathed, and with a flash of sword light, a streak of blood spurted out.
One strike to the throat!
After killing one man with one strike, Su Mo immediately retreated.
"What?"
The men in black were shocked. They did not expect that one of them would die in the blink of an eye.
"What a fast sword!"
The leader of the black-clothed middle-aged men was astonished.
A month ago, Su Mo's strength was only comparable to Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm, but now he could instantly kill a martial artist at Lv 7 Qi Cultivation Realm.
"However, you're still going to die today!"
The man in black shouted coldly, pulled out his long saber, and fiercely slashed at Su Mo.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The middle-aged man slashed three times in a row, and three sharp saber Qi slashed at Su Mo in a triangular formation.
The saber Qi directly blocked Su Mo's way of dodging, so he could only take this move head-on.
"Gale Blade!"
Su Mo waved his sword, and the wind and clouds surged. The sword radiance flashed and slashed at the saber Qi.
Boom!
The saber Qi shattered and turned into a strong wind, sweeping in all directions.
"Uh!"
At this moment, Xi 'er let out a muffled groan.
Su Mo turned his head and saw that Xi 'er's face was as pale as a piece of paper. She was biting her lips, trying her best not to make a sound.
She did not make a sound because she did not want to disturb Su Mo.
Su Mo was shocked and secretly scolded himself for being so stupid.
Xi 'er's strength was too low to withstand the impact of the aftermath of the attack.
However, there was no time to think. Just as Su Mo blocked this move, the other six or seven men in black also attacked.
The saber radiance flashed like lightning and slashed at Su Mo's vital parts.
Swirling Winds and Clouds!
Su Mo's sword slashed out, and the raging wind directly pushed the men back. His figure retreated again.
It was not that he was no match for these men in black, but he wanted to avoid the aftermath of the attack from hurting Xi 'er.
Su Mo had just retreated, and before he could steady himself, a shining saber radiance swept toward his lower abdomen.
The middle-aged man in black attacked again.
Their attacks were like a storm, not giving Su Mo any time to breathe.
The middle-aged man in black was good at seizing the opportunity. This was the moment when Su Mo had just used up his strength.
In order to avoid hurting Xi 'er, Su Mo's hands and feet were tied, so he could not use his full strength.
In such a critical moment, Su Mo had no time to gather strength to block the attack, so he could only try his best to dodge.
Puff!
A stream of blood spurted out. Although Su Mo had dodged the attack, his side was wounded by the saber Qi, leaving a finger-long wound.
Fresh blood flowed out of the wound.
"Brother Su Mo!"
Xi 'er was shocked, and her eyes were filled with tears.
"Brother Su Mo, put me down. I … Don't worry about me. Run away!"
Xi 'er said in a sobbing voice.
"Xi 'er, what are you talking about? If I want to leave, they can't stop me! "
Su Mo said with a smile. Then, he turned around and flew toward the depths of the forest.
In the blink of an eye, he had flown dozens of meters away.
"Go after him! Don't let him escape!"
