Chapter 954: Homeward-Bound Ginseng

Translator: Lordbluefire

Upon hearing this, the scalps of everyone instantly turned numb as their muscles tensed. It was as though an ancient giant beast was biting their thighs.

The pressure of death gushed forth like the tides.

“Do you guys think you all can escape?”

Lu Wuyin was very sarcastic.

“What should we do now?”

Huang Chao laughed bitterly and glanced at the surroundings, wanting to find a path to leave. However, there was a precipice before them with stone walls on both sides. The only path left was now blocked by Lu Wuyin.

“I’ll do my best to drag time. You guys do your best to flee.”

Sun Mo pursed his lips and pulled out Evil Vanquisher, preparing to stake his life.

“Alright, let’s talk less nonsense. You guys should just die!”

As Lu Wuyin spoke, he waved his voluminous sleeve, and a large number of gu-bugs whistled through the air. They were like dark clouds as they gushed toward Sun Mo and the others.

Sun Mo drew a deep breath and exhaled.

Dragonbreath!

A blazing flame blasted forth, instantly incinerating plenty of bugs. Sadly, it was of no use.

There were simply too many gu-bugs.

The most terrifying thing was that Lu Wuyin also charged over. As he struck out with his palms, countless gigantic palm strikes attacked everyone.

Sky Flipping Imprint.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Spirit qi exploded and the impact gushed out in all directions.

“Damn, I’m going all out.”

Huang Chao understood that Lu Wuyin was too powerful. There was no difference between him killing a chicken or a dog or everyone here. Hence, he had to think of a solution before Lu Wuyin found and targeted him.

Fleeing?

It was definitely impossible for them to head back via their original path here.

Even if they fled now, they would be caught by Lu Wuyin not long later.

Huang Chao turned his vision to the precipice.

He could only gamble.

Upon thinking of this, Huang Chao no longer hesitated and unleashed an ultimate skill.

Four Phases Sword Cannon, Sky Shocking Stance.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Nine streams of golden sword qi shot out of Huang Chao’s sword. They didn’t attack Lu Wuyin. Instead, they flew through the air and pierced the ground after arcing for one round.

RUMBLE~

The place everyone was standing at immediately trembled intensely as though there was an earthquake.

“Brat, you dare?!”

Lu Wuyin cursed. He thought that Huang Chao wanted to perish together with him. But when he abandoned Sun Mo and Yang Xuecai as he charged toward Huang Chao, things were already too late.

The second wave of sword qi blasted into the precipice. The place where everyone was standing was like a piece of cake that someone took a few bites out of, and it collapsed.

RUMBLE!

As the tremors intensified, the ground broke as everyone fell down the precipice.

Lu Wuyin didn’t have time to kill anyone. He leaped high into the air, wanting to avoid the fate of falling down.

“Don’t even dream of it!”

Huang Chao attacked again to block him.

Sun Mo gave up this excellent chance of attacking Lu Wuyin and did his utmost to protect his students.

Dragon Capturing Hands.

ROAR!

It was like a giant dragon had possessed Sun Mo. He suddenly let out a roar and golden spirit qi gushed out from his hands, forming nine dragon talons that grabbed his students.

After succeeding, the dragon talons made them hang suspended in the air.

Invincible Battle God!

The golden light on Sun Mo’s body gathered. After that, it expanded outward and engulfed the falling shattered pieces of rock.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The large rocks smashed into Sun Mo, issuing heavy sounds. However, they didn’t do any damage.

After the rocks had fallen completely, Sun Mo climbed up and glanced at the scene of desolation here. His dragon talons then exerted force and grabbed Li Ruolan and the others. He then tossed them out.

“You guys, leave first.”

Sun Mo instructed as he stared at Lu Wuyin who was covered in blood. Sun Mo was pondering whether he had any chance of winning against Lu Wuyin.

“Today, all of you must die.”

Lu Wuyin laughed malevolently and rushed at Sun Mo. His right hand took the form of a hand saber as it pierced toward Sun Mo’s eyes.

Sun Mo twisted his wrist and used the Evil Vanquisher to block in an upward slash.

Swish~

The sharp Evil Vanquisher easily cut off Lu Wuyin’s right arm. However, even before his arm landed on the ground, it trembled and transformed into a bunch of smelly gu-bugs that swarmed toward Sun Mo’s face.

Sun Mo subconsciously closed his eyes. But at the next instant, he felt pain in his chest.

After lowering his head for a look, he discovered that Lu Wuyin’s hand had penetrated his chest. After that, Lu Wuyin grabbed Sun Mo’s heart and forcefully pulled it out.

Sun Mo bore with the pain and didn’t scream. Instead, he unleashed his last ultimate skill, wanting to heavily injure Lu Wuyin. But before his ultimate skill struck, he suffered another kick to his chest.

Bang!

Sun Mo stumbled backward.

Cough! Cough!

Sun Mo coughed as he stared at Lu Wuyin walking toward the students.

“No, I can’t die. I have to protect them.”

Sun Mo gritted his teeth and blinked his eyes rapidly. After that, he took out the Thousand Soul Pill and consumed it.

After consuming this pill, no matter how heavy one’s injuries were, they would be able to save their life and recover a bit.

“You guys, run quickly.”

Sun Mo roared and rushed at Lu Wuyin again.

He didn’t hope to survive. He wanted to fight so his personal students had more time to escape.

Pak!

Lu Wuyin easily grabbed Sun Mo’s right arm. After that, he exerted force and pulled.

Tearing sounds rang out.

Lu Wuyin forcibly pulled Sun Mo’s arm from the socket. After that, he reversed Evil Vanquisher’s momentum and used it to pierce Sun Mo’s chest.

Sizzle~

Fresh blood sprayed.

Bang!

Lu Wuyin kicked Sun Mo’s chest and sent him flying.

Bang!

Sun Mo slammed into the ground; it was so painful that he couldn’t breathe.

“I can’t die, I absolutely can’t die!”

Sun Mo watched as Lu Wuyin walked toward Xianyu Wei and the others. His eyes were now bloodshot. (I can’t die such a valueless death.)

“System I want to purchase items. I want to buy those alchemy pills that can instantly increase my strength.”

Sun Mo roared mentally, but no one replied to him.

“Damn system, say something!”

Sun Mo could no longer stand and was doing his best to crawl on the ground, wanting to get closer to Lu Wuyin.

(Am I abandoned by the system?)

(It’s fine!)

(If the system doesn’t help, I will save them myself!)

(Think quickly, think quickly!)

(I have to think of a way to solve the situation.)

Intense pain kept bombarding Sun Mo’s mind, causing him to have no way to think.

(Damn, let’s stop the bleeding first!)

Sun Mo placed his hand on his chest and executed the ancient massaging technique. But a moment later, he started in surprise.

(Wrong!)

(I no longer have a heart. Logically speaking, I should have already died, right?)

(No matter how strong my desire to live on is, I would still be considered dead biologically. After all, even in this world that is blessed with spirit qi, there’s no way to defy the laws of nature!)

(People will die if they are killed.)

(The dark secret treasure?)

(Yes, it must be that treasure that causes this.)

(Hence, am I experiencing an illusion now?)

But no matter how he thought, it was impossible that the darkness secret treasure would help him to extend his life.

Just when this thought appeared in Sun Mo’s mind, everything before his eyes suddenly changed.

He returned to the days of his childhood.

At that time, he was living in the Central Province Academy, following An Xinhui every day and playing with her. After that, he slowly grew to worship, admire, and fall in love with her through this process.

Times flowed by.

Sun Mo obtained the 4-star title and he got it consecutively, becoming a four-time champion. He was simply flushed with success and even successfully married An Xinhui.

Two years later, the two of them had a pair of fraternal twins.

A blissful life simply continued like this.

“What the hell?”

Sun Mo was astonished.

His body was currently experiencing a life every man would want. But his consciousness was like a bystander watching a movie.

(All of this is false.)

Sun Mo clearly recognized this point.

(In that case, how should I escape?)

Sun Mo lowered his head and stared at his hands. After hesitating for a while, he turned his palm and slammed it toward his skull.

Dharma Shocking the Sky!

BOOM!

Sun Mo’s head trembled violently. Intense pain assailed him and when he finally regained his senses, he saw himself standing in a large cave.

“Ah!”

Sun Mo warily surveyed the surroundings. After that, he cried out in fright.

“What hellish place is this?”

When Sun Mo was watching ‘The Grudge’ back then, he felt that ghost movies from Japan were truly scary. But they were completely insignificant compared to the place he was currently in.

Numerous humans, green-skinned aboriginals, and some ferocious beasts were kneeling on the ground. There were countless green tubes embedded in them, and the tubes led toward another pit tens of meters away.

“Mingyue!”

“Xianyu!”

Sun Mo saw his students and Lu Wuyin. This fellow had proven his strength, but right now, he was obediently being a source of nutrients.

Sun Mo’s body also had several tubes. He meticulously observed them, and they looked similar to the roots of plants. They were currently exerting a great suction force to absorb Sun Mo’s blood.

“Damn!”

Sun Mo cursed and hurriedly waved his sword to cut them. After that, he ignored everything and directly walked toward Lu Wuyin.

Swish~

His sword slashed down, and a head fell onto the ground.

Sun Mo panted and quickly severed the plant-like tubes on the bodies of the other teachers and students.

“Ah? It’s so painful!”

Li Ruolan rubbed her head and woke up.

“I’m actually not dead yet?”

Qin Yaoguang was astonished.

“Teacher, boohoohoo, I’m so afraid!”

Xianyu Wei sobbed.

“Lu Wuyin has died. Everyone, there’s no need to get panicked.”

Sun Mo consoled them.

“What place is this?”

Murong Mingyue warily stared at the surroundings.

Everyone started to survey the surroundings. Those kneeling humans and beasts were already dead, and they looked extremely skinny and withered. Their bodies were dried up and they looked like wooden sculptures.

“We should have been struck by an illusion unknowingly.”

Bai Xiqing analyzed as she felt a lingering fear. “If it wasn’t for Teacher Sun, we would have died for sure.”

As she said this, Bai Xiqing’s gaze toward Sun Mo contained tender feelings in addition to worship.

(Ai! I really want to marry him!)

“You guys wait here. I will head to that pit and take a look.”

Sun Mo stood up and walked toward that large pit.

“Teacher, should we save these people?”

Qin Yaoguang pointed at Yang Xuecai and the others.

“Yeah!”

Sun Mo wasn’t able to watch as innocents died before his eyes.

“Save them after our teacher obtains the secret treasure.”

Jiang Leng added and then followed beside Sun Mo, preparing to become a meat shield for Sun Mo at any moment.

“You should rest at the side.”

Sun Mo pushed Jiang Leng gently. “Take good care of yourself first.”

Very soon, he saw the item in the pit.

“A radish?”

Qin Yaoguang was curious and came over.

“Don’t speak blindly, this is a plant named ‘Homeward-Bound Ginseng’!”

Sun Mo heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, this was something he could identify. Things were stable now.

“Ah? What is that? It seems to be something very awesome!”

Qin Yaoguang felt very curious.

“It is a type of darkness plant. Its greatest effect is to allow the person who consumes it to have an additional life.”

Sun Mo explained.

After he spoke, everyone was incomparably shocked and immediately gathered over.

This item was definitely a top-level treasure.

“Teacher Sun, how did you break the illusion?”

Bai Xiqing was very curious about this.
