Chapter 3603 A Close Call “A Holy Son indeed! It seems I have underestimated you!” The Master of the Black Lotus’s sinister gaze continued to study Mo Chen, surprised that he could dispel his dark aura. He had initially underestimated him, but now he was giving this Holy Son his full attention. With a wave of his hand, a wall of black mist surged toward Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu. But in an instant, his figure flashed, his black robe fluttered, and his eyes filled with killing intent fixed on Mo Chen as he reached out at lightning speed toward Mo Chen’s throat. Mo Chen retreated as soon as he saw the attack coming, but his opponent was too fast for him. As the hand was about to reach his throat, the killing intent was overwhelming, Mo Chen quickly drew his sword and counterattacked. He had spent a few years cultivating in the Holy Son’s Palace and his strength had significantly increased. In a battle against the Master of the Black Lotus, he could hold his own even though he was not a Divine King Strong Exponent. In addition, since his holy cultivation methods could suppress the source of the dark mist, he was naturally not afraid of his attacks. Not to mention, Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu were also there; he was not fighting alone! After exchanging a few moves with Mo Chen, the Master of the Black Lotus was surprised. He hadn’t expected this Holy Son’s cultivation technique to be unaffected by his Black Lotus’ aura. Initially, he planned to eliminate Mo Chen before going after Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze. But Mo Chen caused him more trouble than he thought. He changed his mind after thinking about this. Since that was the case, he could only target someone else! Xuanyuan Mo Ze was already injured, and the battle had lasted so long. Even if Feng Jiu and the others were present, if he were targeted and eliminated first, Feng Jiu would surely be thrown into chaos! At that time, taking advantage of the opportunity to kill her and take the Blue Lotus within her would be far more efficient! After making this decision, he pretended to attack Mo Chen while keeping a watch on Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu. Seeing that they were blocked by the black mist, he abruptly sent out a palm strike toward Mo Chen. The palm strike was incredibly fast and powerful. Even though he didn’t use his Black Lotus aura, it was enough to send Mo Chen flying. “Poof!” As Mo Chen was thrown back, blood came out of his mouth. When he saw the Master of the Black Lotus bypassing the mist and heading toward Feng Jiu, he couldn’t help but shout a warning. “Feng Jiu, be careful!” Feng Jiu had already dispersed the black mist that had surrounded her and saw an attack come her way. Just as she was about to fight back, she saw the eerie smile on the face of the Master of the Black Lotus. He suddenly brushed aside, conjured a sword with a flip of his palm and attacked Xuanyuan Mo Ze with blinding speed. “Mo Ze!” Feng Jiu was alarmed. She summoned all her spirit energy and sprang towards Xuanyuan Mo Ze to shield him from the Master of the Black Lotus’s thrust. “Ah Jiu!” Xuanyuan Mo Ze let out a low cry. He saw a gathering of dark energy behind Feng Jiu. The Master of the Black Lotus, holding a sword, had a menacing smile on his face as he targeted Feng Jiu. The black sword was raised and then thrust at Feng Jiu. Feng Jiu saw the panic in Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s eyes but she couldn’t turn around to look. Instead, she unleashed the Fire of Heaven within her, engulfing both herself and Xuanyuan Mo Ze in a raging flame. Just then, two black sword intents swooped down towards them…
