Desperados Attack - Chapter 75 - Imprisoned

hand as if it were tied with rough rope, implying a desire to perish together and then revive using the sword.

Seeing this, Su Xinghe quickly picked up a stone from the ground and aimed at Mohuoluoja’s lower snake body, specifically targeting the human equivalent of an ankle.

The stone, infused with Su Xinghe’s internal energy, made a swift impact. With a loud “bang,” Mohuoluoja’s lower body lost balance, and with a “thud,” he tumbled to the ground.

Seizing the opportunity, Su Xinghe rushed forward, hitting Mohuoluoja’s right hand that tightly gripped the sword. With Mohuoluoja’s exclamation of pain, Su Xinghe managed to snatch the sword away.

By then, the dawn broke as the sun slowly rose.

Su Xinghe suddenly let out a cry, “Ah!” His entire body shook as if drained of strength in an instant.

Staggering back into the courtyard, his whole body shimmered in the faint light of dawn, appearing to suffer, as evidenced by his cries.

“Ughhh～～～”

Suddenly, a ray of sunlight from the Manor landed on his left hand, and with a “whoosh,” it was disintegrated by the light.

He swiftly moved into the shaded area of the Manor, where his left hand miraculously reappeared.

“Hey!”

Meanwhile, much of Mohuoluoja’s body, lying flat on the ground, had also vanished. Recognizing the danger, he quickly moved into the shade.

Duanmu Xun, puzzled, asked, “What’s going on?”

Xiao Feng explained, “They originated from the same source but have now split into two, resulting in a lack of essential elements. Born from shadow and darkness, they naturally fear sunlight!”

Duanmu Xun couldn’t help but admire Xiao Feng’s knowledge, but realizing the situation’s urgency as Su Xinghe and Mohuoluoja stood on the verge of exposure to sunlight, she felt a surge of happiness; after all, who would want such creatures around?

Yet, she couldn’t express her thoughts openly and asked, “What could spare them this fate?”

“This…”

Xiao Feng didn’t intend to explain directly and merely responded, “This is difficult…”

“Hmm?”

Seeing Xiao Feng’s reluctance to finish his sentence, Duanmu Xun wondered, “Aren’t these two friends?”

As Xiao Feng chose not to elaborate further, she let it go and simply watched Su Xinghe and Mohuoluoja finding refuge in the shadows.

“Hey!”

Mohuoluoja said, “The sword is in your hand, aren’t you going to figure something out?”

“What should I figure out?”

Su Xinghe wasn’t sulking but genuinely clueless about the sword’s spiritual power, let alone considering his mere twenty years of cultivation level; even with high ability, he couldn’t wield the sword’s power.

“You brat, aren’t you going to shatter the sun?”

“Shatter the sun, are you insane?”

Breaking the sun might be an absurd idea spoken only by a fool like Mohuoluoja, but on second thought, it indeed seemed like a valid solution.

But in truth, this was a notion bordering on fantasy.

“Is there any other way?”

Su Xinghe hurriedly asked, “If we can’t figure something out, we’ll both perish here.”

Indeed, but in such a dire situation, what solutions were there?

“Xinghe, don’t panic. You should merge back with him!”

Xiao Feng suddenly appeared, making Duanmu Xun’s scalp tingle with that suggestion.

“What?”

Su Xinghe shook his head vigorously, “No, no. His cultivation level is higher than mine. If I merge with him, and he seizes control of my body, what will happen to the martial arts world with him acting in my name?”

“Xinghe, I have an idea!”

Xiao Feng continued, “Xinghe, why not cast a spell on yourself and then seek help from the various immortal sects? Surely, sects would compete to eliminate a Devil God like Mohuoluoja.”

Upon hearing this, Su Xinghe nodded, “That makes sense.”

He glanced at Mohuoluoja, but Mohuoluoja had no intention of being sealed again.

He immediately responded, “Fine! If you’re not afraid of dying, merge with me!”

Mohuoluoja’s words were met with Su Xinghe’s laughter. He scorned the notion, snickering disdainfully, “Hmph, demon, I wish to spare your life, and yet you are ungrateful, I…”

Before he could finish, Mohuoluoja, outside the wall, was already halfway deteriorated by the sunlight.

He attempted to move inward, but Su Xinghe was preventing him with a sword.

Indeed, without merging with Su Xinghe, Mohuoluoja’s existence was threatened by the sunlight.

With a clench of his jaw and a stomping foot, Mohuoluoja hissed, spewing a puff of white smoke, then vanished into Su Xinghe’s body.

“Kid, you’ve got guts!”

The wind carried the words as Su Xinghe emitted a strange chuckle and departed from Nine Star Manor.

Sound followed the wind.

Duanmu Xun let out a sigh of relief, realizing even thinking about it was terrifying.

“Come!”

At Duanmu Xun’s command, two servants came forward and said, “Unlock this Young Master’s chains!”

“Yes!”

Subsequently, Xiao Feng regained his freedom.

Now, his focus was on caring for Qiusui and the severely injured Tu Ning’er.

However, his thoughts lingered on the “Black Wolf Banner.”

He distinctly heard Duanmu Xun mention that the Black Wolf Banner was at Nine Star Manor. It was considered the most powerful artifact in the world, desired by heroes, immortal sects, and even the imperial court.

Unexpectedly, he had stumbled upon a clue about the Black Wolf Banner.

“Bring the Young Master and the two Ladies to the guest rooms to rest.”

“Hmm?”

A simple command in Xiao Feng’s shrewd mind meant Duanmu Xun intended to isolate him and anyone aware of the Black Wolf Banner’s whereabouts.

“Oh no, outnumbered here, if we’re imprisoned, we might never escape in this lifetime.”
