Chapter 268 Another wave occurs
Mo Ming walked alone on the plain, with trees standing in twos and threes on either side. The dead leaves under his feet were gently stepped on, making a barely audible sound.
His steps appeared leisurely, yet they concealed a sense of vigilance. The surrounding environment was eerily quiet; even the chirping of insects and the calls of birds seemed to be suppressed.
Mo Ming frowned slightly, a sense of unease rising in his heart.
Sure enough, he hadn't gone far when he suddenly heard a faint sound of wind breaking through the air. The sound was extremely soft, but to him it was like a needle piercing the calm surface of a lake.
Mo Ming abruptly stopped, his gaze fixed ahead, a cold glint in his eyes. Sure enough, two figures rapidly approached from afar, moving at incredible speed, heading straight for him.
"This speed, this straight direction... it doesn't seem like a chance encounter, it's more like it's coming straight for me!"
Mo Ming pondered to himself, his gaze growing increasingly cold. His fingers twitched slightly, and his aura subtly subtly concealed itself, like a ferocious beast lurking in the shadows, ready to erupt at any moment.
As the two figures drew closer, Mo Ming's vigilance intensified. His mind raced, recalling recent events, and he quickly identified a possible mastermind.
"Xu Hai... there's no one else but that bastard." Mo Ming sneered inwardly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. These two men came aggressively with a clear objective, obviously targeting him; it was most likely Xu Hai who had sabotaged them.
Two figures finally stopped in front of Mo Ming, revealing their true forms. They were both burly, middle-aged, dressed in dark gray close-fitting clothes, with swords at their waists, and a cold aura between their brows.
The two exchanged a glance, then revealed a malicious smile.
"Hello, friend!" One of them cupped his hands in greeting, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Mo Ming glanced at them coldly, his expression calm, but he already understood their intentions. He didn't respond, but stood still, hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the two of them like a knife.
Seeing that Mo Ming remained silent, the other person spoke in a somewhat unfriendly tone: "Friend, it's fate that we met. My elder brother is talking to you. Aren't you being a little disrespectful?"
Mo Ming sneered inwardly upon hearing this, but remained outwardly calm. He raised an eyebrow slightly and said in a flat tone, "Heh... fate? A deliberately orchestrated fate?"
Seeing that Mo Ming was not flustered, but rather spoke with a hint of mockery, the two men felt a chill in their hearts. They exchanged a glance, clearly not expecting Mo Ming to be so calm.
However, knowing the purpose of their trip, they stopped beating around the bush. One of them said coldly, "Since you've figured it out, don't waste any more time! Hand over the diamond resource box, and you can leave alive."
Diamond resource box? Xu Hai is really ruthless!
Even a level 1 diamond resource box is enough to make anyone envious!
Upon hearing this, Mo Ming smiled slightly, but a chill suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He pointed at the two of them and said in a chilling tone, "Was it Xu Hai who told you this? I don't have a diamond resource box. He's quite good at making things up."
The man's expression changed; he clearly hadn't expected Mo Ming to reveal the truth so easily.
Seeing that their scheme had been exposed, they no longer bothered to hide it. They drew their swords and roared, "Since you refuse to listen to reason, then don't blame us brothers for being ruthless!"
"No, you believe him just because he says so? If I had a diamond resource chest, why doesn't he come and steal it himself?"
"Hehe... Actually, we're half-believing him. Since you say you don't have it, how about we check your spatial container?"
What if I say no?
"Hmph! He said no... Hahahaha!"
"Hahahaha!"
The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with contempt and mockery.
"Then my brother and I will have to do it ourselves!"
Before the words were even finished, the two attacked simultaneously, their swords flashing like rainbows, heading straight for Mo Ming. The sword energy crisscrossed, carrying the might of a Crimson Purple level expert; the surrounding trees were instantly sliced in half, sending debris flying.
Mo Ming snorted coldly, took a step, and his figure retreated like a ghost, avoiding the two's joint attack. The Demon-Suppressing Sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
"You two dare to rob me?" Mo Ming said coldly, his tone full of disdain.
Immediately, he flashed forward and charged ahead. With a single sword strike, sword energy swept out like a whirlwind, flames swirling around him.
Upon seeing this, the two hurriedly swung their swords to defend themselves, but the mysterious sword energy clung to them like maggots, forcing them to retreat repeatedly.
"This guy's strength... is even stronger than we expected!" One of them was shocked, but there was no way out now, so he could only grit his teeth and fight.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle in the forest, their swords clashing, a deadly aura lurking everywhere.
Mo Ming fought two opponents alone, yet he held his own. His swordsmanship was sharp and swift, each strike carrying immense pressure, forcing the two to retreat repeatedly.
Although the two were both powerful experts at the Crimson Purple level, their coordination was not smooth, and they appeared flustered and overwhelmed by Mo Ming's attacks.
After more than ten moves, Mo Ming seized an opportunity, severing one of the men's swords with a single strike, and then kicked him in the chest, sending him flying several feet before crashing into a nearby tree, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, the other man began to consider retreating, but Mo Ming gave him no chance. He thrust out his sword, the tip aimed directly at the man's throat, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.
"Hmph! You really think I'm an easy target?"
A burst of purple light emanated from his body, followed by a ball of purplish-red flame that shot out and headed straight for Mo Ming.
"Equipment special features? Who doesn't have those?"
Seeing this, Mo Ming's lips curled up. Instead of dodging, he gathered all his sword energy and charged straight at the man, determined to kill him with one blow.
Seeing that Mo Ming intended to withstand the fireball head-on, he immediately thought that Mo Ming was planning to trade injury for injury, and his eyes were full of disdain, "Naive! Do you think my purple fireball is so easy to withstand?"
Even the man who was seriously injured and lying on the ground was all smiles, thinking that Mo Ming was like a moth drawn to a flame, oblivious to his own death.
However, the moment the fireball struck Mo Ming, the two were completely panicked.
Mo Ming was not seriously injured by the fireball; instead, his speed did not decrease, and he was about to rush in front of the man, who could only block him with his sword.
Mo Ming was not afraid of the fireball because of the Black Gold Burst Emperor Armor's first characteristic, the Flame Emperor's effect of reducing fire damage significantly. Combined with the inherent resistance of the Radiant Orange-grade armor, blocking the fireball was naturally a piece of cake.
"Shocking flames, splitting the sky!"
A massive slash of fiery sword energy swept across the room, cleaving the man's longsword in two. He collapsed to the ground, barely alive.
"How...how is it possible..."
"Don't understand? Go down... and ask the King of Hell!"
Mo Ming stepped forward and thrust his sword down, piercing the man's heart and killing him instantly.
Turning around, Mo Ming slowly walked towards the man lying under the tree. He saw that the man had his back to him and was not moving.
Dead? Mo Ming didn't believe it. What expert at the Crimson Purple level wouldn't have some means of survival?
Mo Ming tightened his grip on the Demon-Suppressing Sword and unleashed a powerful slash, the sword energy heading straight for the man's groin.
The next second...
