Their true feelings revealed: the beastly husbands are working themselves to the bone every night.

Chapter 172: Forcing Her to Reveal Her True Identity
"Major General!"

Nan Nan and Dong Dong looked at the figure not far away and shouted uncontrollably.

The strategist and his wife looked up at Long Yan, and the next second they both frowned.

Long Yan looked at their injuries, his brow furrowing deeply, the veins on his sword bulging, and his voice was icy: "Release them!"

Jiang Wu smiled disdainfully: "Use Su Mo to exchange for these four."

"You're delusional!" Long Yan's grip on his sword tightened, his killing intent becoming impossible to conceal.

Jiang Wu raised an eyebrow and a cold smile appeared on her lips. She lashed out with her whip and a bloody welt appeared on the strategist's body with a "crack"!
She looked at Long Yan, her smile growing increasingly eerie and sinister: "Major General, I advise you to calm down. The strategist is old and may not be able to withstand a few more lashes from me."

Long Yan's brows were furrowed, his knuckles were white as he gripped the sword, and pain flashed in his eyes.

The strategist frowned and looked at him: "Major General, you must consider the bigger picture. I am old and will not be able to accompany you for the rest of my life!"

Jiang Wu coldly glanced at the strategist: "Strategist, you are mistaken. If you were to die in front of Long Yan like this, wouldn't that make him restless every day afterward? The Major General even dared to take the Fiery Pill for you. How could such a loyal and righteous person bear to see you die like this?"

"Major General, how could you..." The strategist's wife was heartbroken.

Jiang Wu's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Time is running out for the Major General. If you really can't bear to use Su Mo as a bargaining chip, then you can use yourself as one!"

The strategist said in a deep voice, "The Dragon Clan is not just me, the strategist. The Dragon Clan has countless subjects. Major General, you must not risk your life for us! Otherwise, you will never forgive yourself for the rest of your life!"

Jiang Wu suddenly turned around and lashed out with her whip again: "Among the thousands of Dragon Clan members, how many strategists like you are there? You are willing to die, but is the Major General also willing to do so?!"

"stop!"

"stop!"

Two voices suddenly rang out in the air.

Jiang Wu raised her eyes and met Su Moshuang's sharp gaze from the city wall. She curled her lips in disdain: "I thought you were too scared to show up. What? Have you come to your senses and come to exchange these four?"

Su Mo sneered, "With such a warm invitation from City Lord Jiang, how could I not come?! If I didn't come, how would the City Lord know just how high the sky truly is?!"

"Su Mo! Stop talking big! I'll show you what I'm capable of today!"

Su Mo narrowed her eyes slightly, the light in them growing colder: "Since you want my life so badly, then bring your men to take it yourself! Capturing some insignificant people, aren't you afraid of being laughed at? Or did City Lord Jiang foresee that he would become my defeated opponent, so he doesn't dare to come to me? He only dares to play these low-level tricks?"

Jiang Wu lowered her eyes slightly, her venomous gaze fixed on Su Mo: "Stop trying to provoke me. Since you're so eager to come to me, then watch out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a long whip materialized from his fingertips, and his murderous gaze fixed on Su Mo.

"Wife master!"

"Miss Su!"

"Host!"

Several voices rang in Su Mo's ears at the same time.

Xiao Jiu exclaimed in alarm, "Although the totem's power has been upgraded, we still need to be careful..."

Su Mo replied silently, "It's a delaying tactic. As long as I keep Jiang Wu occupied, they'll have a chance to rescue her. We need to find Jiang Wu's weakness today, so this battle is a must."

Xiao Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Did you think of something?"

"Hmm!" Su Mo nodded: "During the cultivation process of orcs, every breakthrough is a battle against their own weaknesses. If Jiang Wu were truly invincible, how could she be trapped in this endless cycle of reincarnation? She has the ability to be reborn, but she may not be able to break free from her destiny!"

Su Mo looked up and saw Jiang Wu throw a sharp arrow at her: "Since that's the case, then prepare to die!"

Su Mo dodged the arrow, then used her whip to catch it, and called out in a deep voice, "Canglan, come down with me!"

Then a black shadow flashed through the air, and Canglan's main body, carrying Su Mo, quickly leaped down from the city wall.

After the totem's power was upgraded, Su Mo was able to control the whip's power even more easily!
With a sweep of the whip's tail, a group of orcs on the opposite side instantly fell, and the stench of blood in the air became even stronger.

Jiang Wu flew over and used her long whip to entangle Su Mo's whip that she lashed out again. The two quickly became entangled!
Aci, who was not far away, frowned and said, "Keep an eye on those four! The rest of you, come with me and kill them all without leaving a single one alive!"

Amidst the flashing swords and the roaring cries, the air was deafening.

While fighting with the people from Longyan, Jin Tong kept an eye on Su Mo's every move.

Her skills have indeed improved!

No wonder he had the courage to compete with Jiang Wu.

Jin Tong had already discerned the clues from Su Mo's moves; she was going all out with every move today, trying to force Jiang Wu to unleash her deadly attack.

He couldn't help but narrow his eyes. She actually wanted to find Jiang Wu's weakness from her ultimate move?
Is she fearless, or just incredibly reckless? The ultimate killing skill of a level ten orc is not something an ordinary person can withstand!
However, in his memory, Jiang Wu never used her ultimate move until his death in his previous life.

This life is the same.

Why wouldn't Jiang Wu use it? A bloodthirsty person like her, capable of defeating an enemy in one move, would never waste time giving her opponent a chance to breathe.
Unless her finishing move isn't perfect enough, or... using her finishing move would really expose her weaknesses!
Su Mo's purpose was so obvious that Jiang Wu naturally noticed it as well.

Her gaze toward Su Mo grew even more sinister, and her moves became increasingly vicious!

Her gaze shifted, landing on the leopard beneath Su Mo.

The moment the whip was raised, the direction suddenly changed!
Su Mo's eyes narrowed, accurately discerning her motives, and she quickly threw the dagger in her hand!

Just as Jiang Wu dodged to the side, Su Mo hooked the long whip in her hand!
Su Mo's wrist suddenly sank, and she secretly used her strength to fling her long whip out!
The moment Jiang Wu leaped to catch it, a sharp "crack" rang in her ears as she was struck hard by Su Mo's whip! The whip marks, stretching from her arm to her waist, were shocking and terrifying, like flames burning fiercely.

Su Mo coldly curled her lips and said, "This counts as you repaying the whip you owed Xuan Qing last time!"

Jiang Wu gritted her teeth as she looked at the wounds on her arm. Damn it, she actually put a drug on the whip!
However, her current internal energy is still barely enough to suppress the effects of the medicine.

Instantly, the murderous intent in Jiang Wu's eyes spread like a blood mist. She stared intently at Su Mo, wishing she could immediately step forward and tear her to pieces!

She was determined to make Su Mo bleed today!

Although Jiang Wu was injured, she possessed profound inner strength, and every move she made was filled with a resolute determination to fight to the death!
The dark lines on Su Mo's wrist were faintly burning, seemingly because they had been stained with Jiang Wu's blood.

Xiao Jiu exclaimed excitedly, "Host, her blood seems to be able to upgrade the totem's effectiveness!"

Su Mo was overjoyed; this was truly a wonderful thing!
Jiang Wu was just hit by the poisoned whip that she had laced with medicine. I don't know how long she can last, but it doesn't matter. I should have the energy to keep her company today.

Meanwhile, on Mo Xiao and Fei Yan's side, after a bloody battle, Long Yan had led his men to approach the strategist and his wife.

Aci and Ruoxu are leading their men to guard the area at all times!
Jiang Wu said to Jin Tong in a deep voice, "Go and help Aci immediately!"

Jin Tong turned her head to look in her direction, but glanced at Su Mo out of the corner of her eye. Then, she lightly leaped to A Ci's side.

He glanced at the dragon strategist hanging not far away, then rejoined the battle.

Today, Su Mo was determined to push Jiang Wu to her limits and exhaust her physical strength to maximize the effectiveness of the medicine on the whip! The battle raged from dawn until dusk, the glint of swords gradually fading into the darkness, the night wind carrying a chilling, bloody scent in the air.

After a day of entanglement, Jiang Wu's determination to kill Su Mo became even stronger!

In just a few days without exchanging blows, Su Mo's abilities have improved? And she's been entangled in a fight with her for a whole day? This is utterly absurd!

Jiang Wu had lost her patience; she had to end this battle as soon as possible! She suddenly took a step back, and her longsword instantly transformed into a bow and arrow!

The first arrow was dodged by Su Mo with a flick of her whip, and the second arrow was easily evaded by Cang Lan!

Jiang Wu quickly drew back three more arrows, aimed, and with a "clang," fired all three arrows at once!
Canglan's golden vertical pupils narrowed into slits, and his agile body leaped up in sync with Su Mo's whip-whipping motion!

Su Mo swiftly swept the whip in her hand away from the arrow shot by Jiang Wu, but as it landed, she sensed another sharp killing intent approaching from her side.

Aci seized the opportunity and threw a hidden weapon at Su Mo.

Canglan couldn't dodge in time, and the hidden weapon grazed Su Mo's left shoulder, the bright red bloodstains piercing through her clothes instantly becoming shocking.

"Wife master!"

The people behind him screamed in panic.

Su Mo frowned slightly, calmly took out a pill from her waist and swallowed it.

Jiang Wu smiled with satisfaction, not believing that Su Mo, who had no internal strength, could suppress the poison for long with just medicine!
She declared that she would make Su Mo bleed today!

Xuanqing, who was closest to them, flew over and entangled Aci, who was trying to pester them again.

After several rounds of fighting, Su Mo vaguely sensed that the effects of the medicine in her body were surging, and the totem's effectiveness would be limited!

The next moment, it seemed that Mo Xiao and his group were also restricted.

Jiang Wu noticed the change in her immediately and knew that the medicine was taking effect.

He sneered, "Su Mo, this poison was specially prepared for you! You, a weak female with no strength to even kill a chicken, think you can fight me? Do you think I've lived all these years for nothing? I know your abilities perfectly well! If you know what's good for you, surrender quickly, and I might spare your beast husbands!"

Su Mo gripped the long whip in her hand, frowned, and asked Xiao Jiu, "What's going on? Why is the totem's effectiveness limited, and why are Mo Xiao and the others also affected?"

Xiao Jiu frowned and said, "It's still unclear what tricks she used. It seems that the beast husbands who successfully form a bond with the host will be affected! But the Third Young Master and the Major General seem to be unaffected."

"Nonsense! They haven't formed a contract with me! Is there any solution?"

While asking Xiao Jiu, Su Mo looked up at Jiang Wu opposite her and said, "What nonsense are you spouting, City Lord Jiang? The outcome is still uncertain! You're being too happy too soon!"

A smug glint flashed across Jiang Wu's lips. "Then I'll show you what it means to be utterly helpless!"

Su Mo sneered: "Is that so? Why don't you try the delivery capacity again?"

She suddenly lashed out with the long whip again, though the power was clearly less than before, she could still barely put up a fight.

Su Mo knew that if she just had to stall a little longer, she could force Jiang Wu to reveal her true form!
Once you catch a glimpse of her true form, you can find a way to expose her flaws.

Jiang Wu frowned slightly, and the moment she exerted her strength, she sensed that something was wrong.

What's going on? Whenever she uses her powers, she can't help but want to transform into her true form!
Su Mo didn't give her any poison at all; she was trying to force her to reveal her true form!
Damn!

Her true identity must never be revealed in front of Su Mo!

Su Mo said to Xiao Jiu in her heart, "We must take advantage of this opportunity and find a way to save people as soon as possible."

Xiao Jiu frowned and said, "Xuan Qing is already close to the strategist's direction!"

Su Mo glanced in that direction out of the corner of her eye. Xuan Qing swept across Jiang Wu's men with lightning speed, and then Xuan Qing threw out the dagger in his hand. With a "clang", the iron chain that was suspending the strategist suddenly broke!

She quickly threw out the antidote: "Xuanqing, catch!"

Xuan Qing reached out and steadily caught the medicine that Su Mo threw to him, then tossed it to the strategist. He quickly went to rescue the two little ones and the strategist's wife.

A figure flashed past, and the next second Jiang Wu lashed her long whip at the two little dragon cubs who were trying to escape!

At the critical moment, the strategist's wife leaped over and pushed Nan Nan and Dong Dong towards Longyan with a single palm strike.

Jiang Wu's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty killing intent. If she still couldn't kill Su Mo today, then it would be good if some other people died! In short, the whip in her hand was destined to be used for bloodshed!
The next second she swept up the person who flew towards her...

With a loud crash, the strategist's wife was thrown to the ground, and amidst the blood, she smiled weakly.

The strategist rushed over, trembling as he picked up the person whose face was covered in blood, sobbing uncontrollably, "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu!"

The person in his arms smiled weakly, raising their hand to wipe away his tears: "Your safety is my greatest comfort. Don't cry, your heart's desire is also my heart's desire. Fulfilling your wish is fulfilling my own wish. You must protect the people of the Dragon Clan, and I... only ask for your safety. I... only wish for your safety, do you understand?"

With tears welling in his eyes, the strategist grasped her slightly cool fingers in his palm and nodded solemnly: "Okay."

……

Although she witnessed the fall of countless lives today, Su Mo still couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted. If Jiang Wu hadn't been so greedy and bloodthirsty, these people wouldn't have had to die!

She raised her hand, aimed her bow and arrow at Jiang Wu, and said, "Do you want to know why you are trapped in this endless cycle of reincarnation and cannot have a good end?"

Jiang Wu frowned. She knew? She knew she was someone who had reincarnated multiple times?!

But so what?

She has reincarnated many times, her opponents have changed batch after batch, and all of them are just passersby, but she, Jiang Wu, is eternal! Everyone wants to defeat her, but no one has ever truly defeated her!
Jiang Wu sneered, "I don't need to know why. I am destined to be the master of this world!"

"You can never be the master of this world. You can reincarnate a million times but you will never change your inevitable death, because you have never changed yourself! That is why you lose every time!"

Jiang Wu's eyes narrowed, and she said sharply, "This is not my fault at all! It's that damned script! He doesn't want me to win completely! Since he doesn't want me to win easily, then I'll fight him to the end! I was born to be the protagonist, why should I be controlled by him!"

Jiang Wu shouted again, "I have nothing to say to you, prepare to die!"

Su Mo's stamina is not as good as it was at the beginning, but Jiang Wu is not much better off. In another fierce battle, Jiang Wu finally couldn't help but reveal her true form!

She clung to her last shred of will: "Aci, take me with you!"

Su Mo said in a deep voice, "Stop him!"

The next instant, she raised the medicinal powder in her sleeve, and a blinding light flashed in her vision, revealing Jiang Wu's true form without any surprise.

Its beak was like red jade, its claws like golden hooks, and each feather seemed to radiate a gilded light, making everything around it seem to pale in comparison.

Meanwhile, Su Mo was completely focused on searching for the reverse feather on Jiang Wu's body!

found it!
Just as she raised her bow and arrow to aim at the reverse feather, a dark streak swept past her!
