Chapter 281 Death
Chapter 281 Death
"Don't move. If you move one more step, she will die."
Ji Mo's face became gloomy and his tone became fierce, completely different from the image he had just shown, as if he had become a different person.
As Ji Mo spoke, he thrust the [Smiling Sword] in his hand into Bai Shui's neck again.
Ji Mo held Bai Shui hostage, head to head, and the calmness he had just shown disappeared.
All that was left was an expression so cold that it made people tremble. The main elder and the Liu elder, who wanted to approach again, seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.
The elder of the main lineage did not say anything. He did not know what Liu had done to force Ji Mo, who was in a good situation, to take the initiative and even attack Baishui, taking all the initiative into his own hands again.
Liu on the side curled his lips and looked at Ji Mo seriously.
"At the end of the season, stop. You still have a chance to explain."
Beneath the serious expression was hidden joy. He had originally planned to take a gamble and threaten Baishui to give false testimony to force Ji Mo to fight back and thus achieve his goal, but it turned out to be so smooth.
No wonder Baishui's expression was so weird before. The plan he came up with actually completely broke the previous deadlock. Sure enough, there was another reason why Baishui was close to Jimo for no reason. No wonder he kept looking at Jimo. He was probably threatened or controlled.
The sudden attack at the end of the season abandoned all the advantages accumulated in the past, and in front of everyone, Baishui was taken hostage to allow himself to escape. Even if the former patriarch was resurrected, he would be powerless to save the situation.
Drops of blood flowed from the white neck, dripped onto the sword blade, and then fell to the ground.
There was still a big difference in height between Baishui and Jimo. Now that she was being held hostage by Jimo, she had to stand on tiptoe to avoid the scene of being separated from her head when she was put down.
Ji Mo held up the [Smiling] and looked forward with a cold gaze, "Get out of the way, everyone, step back a mile, don't make any small moves, otherwise you will be waiting to collect her corpse."
The cold words were like a chilly wind, blowing on people's bodies and making their scalps numb. Baishui, who was closest to the end of the season, had never imagined such a scene.
She wanted to speak, but was stopped by the approaching sword.
After a brief standoff, Ji Mo saw that they had not made any move, so he brought the sword closer again. The white neck was stained with blood, which fell on the clothes and wet them. Ji Mo's voice was dull, and the coldness contained in it was not concealed at all.
"Three seconds. If you don't retreat within three seconds, you'll have to wait for her corpse."
"Or are you saying that these vassals are not members of the Ji family after all, and are just consumables and tools in your eyes, so you just throw them away?"
A voice like a mockery echoed in everyone's ears.
Whether it is the elder of the main line or the elder of the flow, they may not care about Baishui's life, but they cannot ignore the attitude of the Ji family towards the vassal.
After all, the Ji family does not have the Fang family's means of controlling people's hearts and minds. They hold the lives of their vassals in their hands at any time, and no one dares to resist under their power.
The Ji family could only win over people's hearts by attraction. This time they did not hesitate. The elders of the main lineage and the elder Liu took the initiative to retreat and began to disperse the crowd around them.
Although there were still some people who didn't mind making trouble and just watched from the sidelines, the crowds were finally much smaller, giving more room for maneuvering at the end of the season.
Looking at the white water in front of him, he sighed softly, not knowing why.
Perhaps it was out of dissatisfaction with his own sudden outburst, or perhaps it was out of reluctance to accept the change in the situation, but in the end, he still did it.
After the crowd retreated a mile, all that was left was a black dot, and the voice of Elder Liu came from afar.
"At the end of the season, we're retreating, and you should put Baishui down."
Looking at the figure in the distance, Ji Mo did not put down the [Smiling] in his hand, but held the white water and slowly retreated under the gaze of the people around him.
"No one is allowed to move. I can see you all. If anyone comes one step closer, I will kill her."
Ji Mo was still threatening everyone. Under everyone's gaze, Yuan Jin, who was not afraid of trouble, took a step forward, as if he wanted to follow Ji Mo's steps. However, the moment he moved, the main elder and the flow elder both looked at Yuan Jin.
Although the Fang family is not afraid of the Ji family, they always have to save face for the Ji family.
No matter how brave Fang Xiang was, he could only act within the limits that the Ji family could tolerate.
Both the main branch and the branch have reached this point. If the current situation is broken by Fang Xiang, they don't mind killing Fang Xiang on the spot.
The clan leader and the four elders certainly don't mind starting a war. This is not only related to maintaining the face of the Ji family, but also the attitude of the main and branch branches towards the vassal.
Baishui alone made the two elders retreat voluntarily and even repeatedly meet the conditions for the end of the season. So what about others? Will they have the same attitude?
This gave a shot in the arm to the vassals who wanted to escape from the Ji family and restored their confidence.
Coupled with Ji Mo's performance, what he said before was self-defeating. From the moment Ji Mo took the initiative to hold Bai Shui hostage, he had no hope of winning and even forced himself into a dead end.
Time passed minute by minute, and Ji Mo's figure disappeared. After leaving their sight, Ji Mo did not retreat immediately, but observed for a while, and from time to time he would send a message to indicate his presence.
Only when it was out of the range of conscious observation did Ji Mo lower the [Smiling] in his hand so that Bai Shui no longer had to stand on tiptoe.
Ji Mo took back [Smile], Bai Shui's blood was still hanging on the sword edge, slowly falling to the ground. Without Ji Mo's hold, Bai Shui turned around, and what he faced was not an apology from Ji Mo, nor any other expression. He had a blank expression, like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves.
The next moment, a chill passed through her heart. Bai Shui opened her eyes wide, and the straight sword pierced her chest and passed through her heart.
At that moment, her eyes were dull and her face was full of disbelief. The next moment, she heard her beating heart gradually stop. The long sword was pulled out from her chest, and hot blood fell on Ji Mo's clothes.
Without the support of the long sword, Bai Shui fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Blood gushed out from her chest and throat. Her consciousness gradually became blurred, and her eyes gradually became dull. Until the very end, she could not have imagined such an ending. In her last peripheral vision, she saw Ji Mo's lips move slightly, and his brows were slightly wrinkled on his expressionless face.
Then I couldn't see anything.
And just like that, in a backstabbing at the end of the season, she died.
The moment before her death, a gift from the secret realm appeared. A green light appeared from her body and pierced the sky. Rich life energy gathered from all around and forcibly lifted up Baishui, who was only one breath away. The rich green energy poured into her body, repairing her broken heart and growing new flesh and skin.
The moment the green light appeared, the main elder and the flow elder at the far end realized that something was wrong. They immediately activated their skills and quickly moved towards the place where the green light emerged.
