Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1221 - 1214: On Ambushes

Ku Yue made a decision instantly; she gave up attacking Sword Heaven and withdrew the vast black claw.

She couldn't intervene in Chen Luo's stealth attack on Ding Huan being ambushed halfway.

But she had already decided to make the person who ambushed her pay a heavy price, killing the ambusher before dealing with Ding Huan.

As for Chen Luo, in her judgment, even if he suffered a loss from an ambush, he could still rebound and counterattack.

She trusted her assessment, believing that Chen Luo's strength was not weaker than hers, nor weaker than Wu Dao and the others.

Since Chen Luo could be so forbearing, letting him suffer some losses was beneficial.

The vast black claw instantaneously shifted its attack target, and the Source Principle Domain also swept towards Mo Wuji.

Even Ku Yue, upon unleashing her Magical Treasure, changed her attack target the next moment and shifted her Source Principle Domain space.

The power was thus reduced significantly.

This was not just a matter of momentum, but also about the interruption of killing intent and the weakening of the Source Principle Domain.

Unless she was given time to strike again.

Mo Wuji's ambushing momentum had arrived, and naturally, he wouldn't give Ku Yue a chance to regroup.

Yet Ku Yue did not take the ambusher seriously.

As if her previous action against Sword Heaven.

Even one of the vast five ancestors, Sword Heaven, would be crushed under her Domain and the vast black claw.

The ambusher's strength was indeed not weak, even comparable to the vast five ancestors.

But so what?

To deal with such a person, did Ku Yue need to gather momentum?

"Boom!"

Ku Yue felt her Source Principle Domain shatter instantly, and the overwhelming deathly aura enveloped her entire space in the blink of an eye.

Ku Yue's face changed drastically; she stopped considering anything else and directly burned her own Essence Blood and Dao Rhythm.

Compared to Wu Dao, Cang Fei, and others, Ku Yue's response to self-threats was more rapid.

With her strength, traversing numerous planes and universes, she naturally couldn't be threatened with life.

She had seen many such life-threatening scenes.

She was sure that any hesitation for a moment could result in her physical body collapsing, even costing her life.

Regarding strength, she wasn't weaker than the three Daos, but once her physical body was destroyed, there was a possibility of being killed.

The three Daos, having merged with the vast Primordial Dao Principle, even if killed completely, had a chance to be reborn relying on the vast Source Principle.

But she didn't.

If she were killed, she would truly fall.

"Crack!"

The Slaughter Domain of the vast black claw, upon changing attack targets, couldn't withstand Mo Wuji's Mortal Halberd.

As the halberd light tore through, the Domain of the vast black claw completely collapsed.

Even if Ku Yue's strength wasn't weaker than Mo Wuji's, maybe slightly stronger.

In this moment, she could only take the hit.

Crack, crack, crack!

Ku Yue's Source Principle Domain space, fortified by the burning Essence Blood and Dao Rhythm, shattered once more.

Once passive, reversing the situation was impossible unless the opponent stopped attacking.

How could Mo Wuji stop?

Not only did he not stop, but Mo Wuji's Slaughter Domain kept intensifying.

Regarding stealth attacks, if Mo Wuji claimed to be the second-best, no one would dare claim to be the first.

When he ambushed Ku Yue, he appeared extremely assertive, as if threatening her life, while in reality, the aura of death merely seemed strong to the opponent.

This was to make the opponent understand that the ambusher was going all out, while in fact, the threat level from the ambusher was within control.

Such a tactic was tough for ordinary people to achieve.

But Mo Wuji's Mortal Dao could easily accomplish it.

Because when the opponent sensed that the aura of death wasn't life-threatening, in most instances, they wouldn't stay on high alert.

As long as the opponent showed some negligence, the killing intent would magnify tenfold, locking onto the opponent's vitality.

Ku Yue was precisely in such a situation.

She sensed Mo Wuji's ambush was powerful, the aura of death and slaughter seemingly locked her life force entirely.

But Ku Yue was very aware of her strength; she understood that as long as she didn't continue ambushing Sword Heaven, Mo Wuji's ambush posed no threat.

She would make the ambusher realize that a full-frontal ambush against her, Ku Yue, was but a joke.

When Ku Yue discovered her misjudgment, it was already too late.

Poof!

A streak of pale purple blood exploded as Mo Wuji's Mortal Halberd tore through Ku Yue's flesh.

Ku Yue's Protective Dao Rhythm collapsed.

Followed by her spewing several strands of Essence Blood, her body's Dao Rhythm soared wildly—any Essence Blood, lifespan, Great Dao Dao Rhythm...

Anything she could burn, Ku Yue was burning, then constructing her Protective Domain.

Simultaneously, she reached for the vast black claw.

She needed to buy herself a moment's respite.

At this moment, Ku Yue's heart was incredibly stifled.

Judging by strength, she believed herself definitely not weaker than the one ambushing her.

In a face-to-face fight, she was confident of gaining the upper hand.

Yet the opponent began calculating her thoughts even before the ambush.

She had fallen progressively into someone else's calculations, nearly leading to her physical body's collapse.

Now, the Mortal Killing Dao Rhythm stirred by Mo Wuji's halberd was rampaging within her, and Ku Yue dared not delay any further.

Her cultivation was being devoured by the opponent's Death Dao Rhythm every moment, with her strength declining wildly.

If it continued, as she had foreseen earlier, she would end up dead without even a burial ground.

At this moment, for Ku Yue, revenge is secondary; she must make a swift escape.

However, the Vast Black Claw is like her second life; she absolutely cannot leave it behind.

She suspects that Mo Wuji will definitely not spare her Vast Black Claw, so she needs to take back her Magical Treasure before Mo Wuji seizes it.

Even though she was ambushed by Mo Wuji, Ku Yue believes that it would take at least a moment for Mo Wuji to tear through her Domain.

And in that moment, she would have already left with the Vast Black Claw.

As for this encounter today, she will come back to settle the score once she has recovered from her injuries.

Ku Yue has roamed the universe for millions of years and has never suffered such a great loss.

Indeed, Mo Wuji has no intention of sparing the Vast Black Claw.

Something like the Vast Black Claw, once it emerges, anyone would know it's undoubtedly a top-tier Supreme Treasure.

How could Mo Wuji possibly let it go?

Ku Yue's calculations are correct; Mo Wuji indeed cannot tear open her Protective Source Principle Domain in just a moment.

However, contrary to Ku Yue's expectations, Mo Wuji did not attempt to seize the Vast Black Claw, nor did he try to tear through her Protective Domain. Instead, he raised his hand and summoned a Golden Ring.

After summoning the Golden Ring, Mo Wuji made his move again.

With the emergence of the Golden Ring, Ku Yue felt that her previously raging Tao Domain suddenly froze.

"Vast Golden Ring?" Ku Yue exclaimed in shock.

She may not know other things, but the Vast Golden Ring is too well-known.

It's a vast Magical Treasure capable of controlling cosmic space and locking down the opponent's Tao Domain.

Yet, after it appeared in the vastness, it was unknown who had snatched it away.

Only now does Ku Yue realize that the Vast Golden Ring actually ended up in the hands of an ant from an outer universe...

No, this guy is definitely not an ant.

In the next moment after recognizing the Vast Golden Ring, the Mortal Halberd had already torn open Ku Yue's previously stalling Source Principle Domain space.

Death approached.

Ku Yue realized she had again fallen into her opponent's trap.

No matter how well thought out her plans were, she hadn't anticipated that the Vast Golden Ring would be with someone like Mo Wuji from an outer universe. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Instinctively, she looked towards Chen Luo, just in time to see Lan Xiaobu's Longevity Halberd tear through Chen Luo's Domain, sending his eighteen Buddha Beads flying.

Ku Yue knew the situation was beyond salvation.

Through Lan Xiaobu's aggressive display, she understood that Lan Xiaobu's strength was no less than Mo Wuji's, and with the addition of Ding Huan,

they had no chance of victory on their side.

All because of Lan Xiaobu's appearance.

Even if she witnessed Mo Wuji taking away her Vast Black Claw, Ku Yue dared not stay.

Her figure flickered and transformed into a Dark Principle, vanishing without a trace.

She clearly understood that she could no longer retrieve the Vast Black Claw.

Heavily injured and with her attack treasure taken away, staying would only mean awaiting death.

This defeat was not due to her lack of strength compared to her opponent, but her lack of experience compared to them.

She had traversed infinite planes, visited countless universes, and witnessed many vile methods.

Yet all she did was witness them, not experience them firsthand.

With her strength, she was never supposed to be in life-threatening situations.

This time, she finally suffered a loss in real combat.

Chen Luo, similarly, never expected that in his attempt to ambush Ding Huan, he would be ambushed by someone else mid-action.

When he found out Lan Xiaobu was ambushing him, he didn't pay it any mind.

Among those capable of ambushing him, he had them all in sight: Cang Fei, Wu Dao, An Ting, and Ku Yue.

As long as it wasn't one of these few ambushing him, any ambush in his eyes would be insignificant.

He didn't even slow down his attempt to ambush Ding Huan.

As for this ant, Lan Xiaobu, he planned to slowly deal with him after capturing Ding Huan.

But when Lan Xiaobu's Mortal Halberd tore through his Source Principle Domain space, he was shocked to realize that his life was entirely under the opponent's control.

This ambusher was not just any ant, but seemed stronger than him.

Chen Luo dared not face off against Ding Huan anymore.

The 108 Source Dao Pearls on his chest burst open, seventy-two of them shielding his entire body, while eighteen shot towards Lan Xiaobu.

And eighteen actually blasted towards the edge of his own Source Principle Domain.

Simultaneously, the infinite Source Principles within his Domain self-detonated wildly.

"Boom!"

The space continued to collapse.

A Source Principle void appeared between Lan Xiaobu and Chen Luo, opened by Chen Luo's eighteen Source Dao Pearls.

If it were just the eighteen Source Dao Pearls, Lan Xiaobu would have no hesitation in using the Longevity Halberd to tear them open.

But faced with the vast void torn open by the Source Dao Pearls, even Lan Xiaobu felt his scalp tingle.

This vast void was too terrifying, beyond his comprehension of vastness and the universe.

He could only retreat, while the Slaughter Domain of the Longevity Halberd locked onto the eighteen Source Dao Pearls heading towards him.

This all happened in less than a moment, and Chen Luo was gone without a trace.

Even Lan Xiaobu felt immense admiration.

Each of these Source Dao Pearls was priceless, seemingly no weaker than a vast Magical Treasure.

This fellow was truly decisive, abandoning thirty-six Source Dao Pearls just to escape.

If the eighteen vast Source Dao Pearls were with him, the fellow might still try to seize them back.

But those eighteen Source Dao Pearls were swept away by the vast void, destined to vanish without a trace.

This fellow was truly decisive.

Lan Xiaobu couldn't be bothered with the escaping Chen Luo, seeing Mo Wuji charge towards the people besieging Ding Huan, he naturally wouldn't hesitate and swept forward with the Longevity Halberd.

(Goodnight, fellow traveler!)
