Chapter 262: Revealing Oneself
“Then you’re deliberately courting death?”
Moon Pass’s face was extremely ugly. He had originally intended to send Meng Shu away and deal with them after resolving these people.
This time, the Pope had given a death order to ambush and kill everyone here. How could he let even one go?
“Cut the crap! Fight if you want to. Do you think I’m afraid of you…”
Meng Shu roared angrily. He finally understood that to walk out alive, they must unite.
“Senior, we’re here to help you!”
Tang San observed sharply and seized an opportunity. The Peacock Plume activated directly.
The people from Shrek behind him also fired successively. The battle was about to erupt.
“Courting death!”
In an instant, a Miraculous Mushroom Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum appeared in front of Moon Pass, with petals drifting down one by one.
Only the sounds of metal clashing rang out. All the steel needles were actually blocked.
“Chrysanthemum Pass, bullying kids—what kind of skill is that? Your opponent is me!”
At this moment, a Dragon Head Cane smashed over, about to hit Moon Pass. But he reacted so quickly that he dodged it in one move.
Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager instantly activated Martial Soul Fusion, Dragon Snake combined strike.
The battle was extremely fierce. Both sides went back and forth. In no time, the valley passage was forcibly smashed open.
“Heavens, a Titled Douluo!”
The passages on the left and right opened. Heaven Water Academy, Blazing Fire, Heaven Dou, and Divine Wind Academy appeared in everyone’s sight.
Due to the joining of Ghost Gate disciples, this battle turned into a one-sided slaughter. They quickly resolved the fight.
Gazes turned toward Shrek Academy. After seeing the nine soul rings on Moon Pass, everyone was stunned.
“Peerless Dragon Snake, nothing more than that!”
Although Peerless Dragon Snake stepped forward, they were not Moon Pass’s match. Even a Martial Soul Fusion Skill couldn’t do anything to Moon Pass.
This was the gap in strength.
With a loud bang, Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager were directly sent flying.
“Since you’re deliberately courting death, I’ll fulfill you…”
With one move forcing them back, Moon Pass gave Meng Shu and the others no chance and was about to unleash a killing move.
At this moment, a puppet suddenly appeared in front of him. It exploded on the spot with a violent blast.
“What!”
The moment the puppet appeared, everyone was dumbfounded. When did it appear, and how?
The one who felt it most deeply was Moon Pass!
The puppet appeared out of thin air beside him. He had just witnessed dozens of people instantly killed by the puppet’s explosion and knew this thing had enormous power.
He directly activated Martial Soul True Body to block the poison needles fired by the puppet, but was still sent flying by the terrifying explosive force.
Indirectly, Dragon Duke, Meng Shu, and his wife were spared. Otherwise, they would have undoubtedly died just now.
“Who?”
Forced back, Moon Pass lost face and shouted loudly. Yet no one in the entire valley responded to him.
“It’s Xiao Mo, he’s back!”
At this moment, excited voices came from the Shrek team.
That puppet—besides Ling Mo, no one else had such means to force back a Titled Douluo.
“What powerful impact force. Exactly who are these people?”
Ahead, Huo Wu and the others gathered, gazing suspiciously at these people who suddenly appeared to save them.
Each of them carried some strange things: some had humanoid puppets, others had black little boxes—extremely odd.
“I don’t know. Let’s observe quietly!”
Huo Wushuang was shocked inwardly. The scenes he witnessed today kept refreshing their understanding.
At this moment, Feng Xiaotian said proudly, “These are my Ghost Gate people!”
“What, Ghost Gate?”
These words shocked everyone.
“Feng Xiaotian, when did you join Ghost Gate?” Huo Wu questioned. When did Feng Xiaotian join Ghost Gate!
“That was over ten days ago. You haven’t witnessed it, so you’re definitely surprised.
But these things are the most common in Ghost Gate.
Whether mechanical puppets or those hidden weapons! They all have extremely strong combat power. You saw it just now…”
Feng Xiaotian explained. Right after the promotion match ended, he had decided to join Ghost Gate and had gone up the mountain.
After witnessing those things, he too was incredulous, just like Huo Wu and the others.
The gaze returned to the Shrek side.
After that puppet appeared, the whole scene quieted down.
Suddenly… a heavenly thunder rumbled down, flashing with ten thousand zhang of lightning, accompanied by piercing sounds.
Amid the light, six-colored radiance flickered. One person stood in the high air, slowly descending.
“It’s Xiao Mo!”
The Shrek Seven Devils saw it clearly. They spotted the figure in the air at a glance—it was Ling Mo, who had been gone for a long time.
“It’s you. I didn’t expect you to dare show up…”
The moment Ling Mo appeared, Moon Pass’s face grew even gloomier. Their main task this time was to ambush Ling Mo.
But unexpectedly, he used Cicada Shedding Its Shell from the start and vanished without a trace.
Now he dared to show himself proactively—simply courting death.
“Heh, Chrysanthemum Pass! You really think I hid to escape?”
Ling Mo slowly descended from the high air, smiling confidently with a disdainful smile on his face.
He had waited a long time for this opportunity. The battle ahead hadn’t ended yet. Except for that side, almost everyone from Spirit Hall had been cleared out.
“What do you mean?”
Moon Pass said coldly, sensing something fishy.
“While you were blabbering here, your subordinates were already dealt with by me.
If you don’t believe it, look to the left and right. How many of your people are left standing?”
Ling Mo said with a cold smile.
“What!!!”
Hearing this, Moon Pass’s face turned extremely ugly. He looked to the other places and indeed, the ones standing were all strangely dressed people, with none from Spirit Hall.
Where did these people come from?
“Do you know what ‘mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind’ means? From the moment you intended to act, my Ghost Gate people had already secretly taken control here.
In this hunting game, you’ve always been the prey. Unfortunately… you were too overconfident, blindly believing yourselves to be the hunters!”
Ling Mo stood there, not rushing to act, and said with a cold smile.
At these words, not only Moon Pass, but even Dragon Duke, Meng Shu, and the others showed horrified gazes.
So Ghost Gate had already calculated this ambush and secretly taken control here.
In other words, rather than Spirit Hall’s setup, it was Ghost Gate’s setup.
These strangely dressed people with unique combat styles were actually Ghost Gate people?
“Since you discovered our movements long ago, why didn’t you act sooner? And how did you predict we’d act here and set up an ambush in advance?”
Moon Pass asked doubtfully. He didn’t believe Ghost Gate could judge their plan so precisely here.
From Heaven Dou City to Spirit City, it was nearly a month’s journey. This road was very long—how did Ling Mo judge they’d choose here?
“I didn’t act because I was waiting for the big fish to enter the net! And you are that big fish…
As for how I predicted you’d act here, the reason is simple: you can’t afford to be seen, wanting to hide your identities. Thus… this is the best ambush spot…”
Ling Mo stood steadily on the hilltop, smiling as he spoke.
Everything was under his control. Spirit Hall was completely wiped out this time.
