Chapter 5: I Only Wish for Eternal Life!
A thousand feet above the cliff.
The mountains are dense with trees, giant trees that reach the sky, over 100 meters high, several people can only hug them together, branches and leaves are lush, blocking out the sun.
Sometimes the mountain wind comes, and a wave of ripples is stirred up in the lush and dense forest, the forest rises and falls, and the birds fly wildly. Occasionally, there are eerie creatures and poisonous insects that scream and howl, and the entire mountain forest is filled with a gloomy atmosphere.
Mo Bei stood at the edge of the cliff, with several corpses lying beside him, which were the black-clad men responsible for guarding the rope.
He swung his sword and with a single slash, the three-foot-long blade cut off five or six ropes hanging down from the cliff.
Break the cauldron and sink the boat, cut off all means of retreat!
Mo Bei gazed into the depths of the mountain forest, let out a gentle sigh, and muttered to himself: "Since Dog Wang has discovered my trail, he will certainly reveal my whereabouts to King Jing'an. Now in the mountains, there must be a large group of pursuers, constantly chasing after me!"
"No need to look for me! I'll come find you, so wait with your neck clean!" Mo Bei's mouth hooked into a cold and ruthless arc as he strode swiftly into the mountains.
This mountain forest is not vast, about three hundred miles in length and width.
At first, the remaining Mo family children escaped here, thinking they could escape and survive, but unfortunately, they were tracked down by Dog King and eventually died on this cliff.
Mo Bei looked up from time to time to explore the position of that patch of sunset in the sky, relying on memory, his agile figure shuttled through the mountains and forests.
He didn't rest or stop, carrying his sword and hastening on, until the sun set behind the western mountains and the night curtain slowly descended. Only then did he slow down his footsteps, leap up, land on the trunk of a towering tree, sit cross-legged, and regulate his breath to calm himself.
"I've walked for over 50 miles. At this speed, in three more hours, I'll be able to leave this mountain forest and return to the Mo Manor." Mo Bei took a deep breath, regulating his breathing evenly: "This King Jing An's power is profound, with many strong followers under him, so it's better to be cautious, maintain peak condition first, then make plans."
After finishing speaking, Mo Bei closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
Night falls, completely shrouding the entire mountain forest, heavy dark clouds squeezing the entire sky, not a single star or moon in sight, so dark that you can't see your fingers when you stretch out your hand.
A dark and windy night for murder!
The entire mountain forest was silent, except for the occasional howling of strange creatures. The stillness was so profound that Mo Bei could even hear his own breathing.
A hurried footsteps sounded from a distance, getting closer and closer. At the same time, several loud shouts accompanied it:
"What's going on with that boulder?"
"With so many people, how can't you dig it?"
"I heard that Mo's ancestors were instructed by an immortal to guard this boulder, and inside the boulder lies a great secret!"
"I've also heard that it's said this boulder contains great wealth and a big secret!"
"Pfft, what a big secret, the Mo family clan has already been exterminated."
"Yes, yes, anyone who is remembered by Dog King will surely die, no matter where they hide in the world!"
Mo Bei followed the sound and looked around, several fires were flashing in the mountains and forests, gradually coming this way!
Listening to their conversation, Mo Bei sneered repeatedly.
Dog King? These guys still miss Dog King, but they don't know that Dog King has already gone to the underworld to report!
"Ah, speaking of which. Dog King's tracking skills are truly superb." One of the five men, a bald-headed man holding a torch, let out a sigh of admiration and showed a look of reverence: "I really want to see Dog King in action!"
The words had barely fallen when suddenly ——
A cold and mirthless laugh suddenly rang out above his head:
"You want to see Dog King? I'll make it happen for you!"
Suddenly a loud explosion frightened Baldy into a daze, he subconsciously raised his head to take a look, and saw a ray of light flashing before him.
"Whoosh!" Piercing through clouds and splitting rocks!
The head was severed! That bald head flew up and rolled onto the ground.
The last scene in front of me was to see the back of my own feet, with scarlet blood spraying wildly from my neck for nine feet, splashing all over the ground!
Before his death, there was still a hint of bewilderment in his eyes that lingered and would not disperse.
This sudden scene made everyone unexpected.
It's enough for this group of black-clad people to be stunned for a moment!
In the darkness, only sword lights and shadows are seen, with a straight flash of the sword's edge! The fourth sword makes sand fly and rocks move.
Those five or six torches emitted a dim, yellowish light; the sword blades that were still dripping with blood reflected the light, and the glare was extremely dazzling.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Mo Bei's figure was agile and nimble, like a swimming dragon, as he strode across the courtyard with ease. The sword's blade whipped up a bloody wind, sweeping past the three men in an instant, its speed incredibly fast, leaving them struggling to keep up!
The green blade in his hand was like a poisonous giant python, extremely sharp and fierce, madly dancing, sweeping across the necks, chests of the three people!
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!" Sand and stones flew everywhere!
Three successive waves of bloody mist suddenly erupted from the vital parts of these three black-clothed men!
This series of actions, in the blink of an eye, was enough to kill three more people!
"There's still one more!" Mo Bei's body transformed into a residual shadow, stirring up a fierce gust of wind as he charged forward, his eyes gleaming with an intense light!
The last person finally reacted, shocked and frightened, and in his desperation he had no chance of escape.
"Ah!" The man suddenly jumped up and shouted, raising his steel knife and aiming at Mo Bei who was rushing towards him: "Go to hell!"
Mo Bei took a step forward, his figure flashing by. The knife edge grazed the top of his head and passed over, several strands of hair falling off in response, only half an inch away from being able to separate Mo Bei's head from his body!
Two figures passed each other by, intersecting briefly.
"Whoosh!"
A flash of golden light, suddenly appeared in the night sky, and disappeared in an instant!
The fierce wind stopped abruptly, and the murderous intent dissipated.
"Gulp, gulp......" The man's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt his entire body's strength being drained away in an instant. His right hand relaxed, and the steel knife fell to the ground.
His body went limp and knelt on the ground, with a bright red color spreading all over. He was unwilling to put down his sword, his eyes disbelieving - the sharp blade that should have been thrust into the enemy's heart had instead fallen to the empty space!
"This... how is this possible? Clearly I was the one who struck first..."
As he lay dying, the vitality in his eyes rapidly ebbed away, his gaze gradually becoming empty and lifeless, with no signs of life remaining in an instant.
It was just in the pupils of his eyes, where a hint of terror and shock were evident.
Mo Bei shook his head and said: "Only what can be controlled by oneself is truly fast!"
Mo Bei drew his sword and emerged, thick fresh blood from the man's back chest wound, "puff" of blood pressure sprayed out, in mid-air suddenly a piece of blood, even Mo Bei's body was splashed with some!
In an instant, the five people fell to their deaths, their bodies scattered all over the ground stained red with blood behind Mo Bei.
Mo Bei smiled coldly and continued his slaughter!
This night was a terrifying one. In this forest, lives were ended one by one, and the black-robed men died under Mo Bei's sword one after another.
Finally, another massacre. Looking at the bodies scattered all over the place, Mo Bei's expression was not good, his eyes dim and flashing from time to time.
In his mind, he recalled the person he had just killed, the terror and fear in their eyes, and a thread of pity was born in his heart.
"The number of people I've killed today is far more than the total number of people I killed in my past life!" Mo Bei's mouth curled up into a bitter smile.
"These people want to kill me, if I don't kill them, I'll be dead! They deserve to die, they must die!"
Mo Bei's gaze was sharp as a knife, his look of sympathy and pity vanished into thin air, replaced by an unyielding determination.
"Whoever wants to kill me, I will kill him!"
The voice is not loud, but it's firm and unshakeable!
Walking slowly, Mo Bei suddenly remembered his past life!
"In my past life, in my past life." Mo Bei's eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia, muttering to himself: "In my past life, for eternal life, I devoted myself to the Tao. I didn't mind spending all my family's wealth, bitterly cultivating, alchemy, refining qi, esoteric Buddhism, shamanism, Shinto..."
Traveling through mountains and rivers, roaming all over the world, just seeking eternal life. But in the end...
The bitter smile at the corner of Mo Bei's mouth became more and more obvious: "In the end, it still comes down to slowly growing old, turning into a handful of yellow earth, and falling into reincarnation.
That once captivating female star who had enchanted countless men, ultimately grew old and frail, with no one to care for her!
That tyrant who dominated the world ultimately died of old age in his sickbed, and even the greatest power could not let him live for one more second!
That relying on infinite wisdom, owning a family of billions of wealth, at the time of death, is also a mournful cry, although unwilling to die, finally still dispersed!
"Life is like this, when a person dies it's like a lamp going out, gone, everything will be gone!"
Looking back on that scene before his death, facing the fear of death, a chill ran through him from deep within!
Mo Bei suddenly shook his head, his eyes gleaming like a torch, revealing a thread of desperate madness. He shouted loudly: "No! I don't want to die again! I don't want it anymore! But now it's different! There really are immortals in this world. Turning feathers into an immortal is eternal life! I only have one life, and all I ask for is eternal life!"
"I only wish for eternal life!"
