Chapter 3841: 4.1441 An Acquaintance?

Qiao Mu scanned with her divine eye but found no foreign objects in the three old men's heads.

If they're not from Heaven's Will, then who could they be?

The man lying in the pit was clearly someone she didn't recognize at all.

Naturally, she had no idea when she might have offended him.

But it didn't matter. Since they were here to cause trouble, she would simply deal with the trouble, and then there would be no more trouble.

Qiao Mu's eyes chilled. Her dark pupils, filled with a desolate, icy light, locked onto the dark figure in the pit.

"It seems you all wish to die." She moved, instantly pouncing down from the treetop.

Her slender figure circled in mid-air, abruptly intercepted by one of the fifty-year-old men.

The elder wielded a hook in each hand, striking fiercely towards her forehead.

"Clang!" Qiao Mu didn't dodge or evade at all, letting his hook land directly on her defensive shield.

The elder's fingers trembled slightly from the force of the shield's rebound.

His eyes instantly narrowed, a faint glint flashing in the slits. He roared, "Good move, you foul girl!"

He clapped his hooks together, freeing one hand, and struck a palm towards her chest.

At the same time, the other two elders weren't idle. Their figures also moved, like a swift wind sweeping fallen leaves. One kicked, aiming for Qiao Mu's calf.

That kick carried a ferocious force, as if it intended to snap Qiao Mu's calf in two.

The other, without a sound, flashed behind Qiao Mu, summoning a black broadsword from his Sea of Consciousness, and directly slashed it towards the back of Qiao Mu's head.

Attacked from three sides, each move aiming for her life.

No sooner said than done, in an instant, Qiao Mu's figure vanished from the three-sided encirclement.

When she reappeared, she was already ten meters away, beside the dark figure who had crawled out of the pit.

"Boom! Boom!" After two thunderous explosions,

the surrounding trees were completely flattened by the divine power orbs.

A sunken clearing appeared in the middle. The man lay in the depression, spitting large mouthfuls of blood, struggling to crawl out from beneath.

The eighty-year-old elder's pupils constricted slightly.

And at this moment, Qiao Mu had already gripped the dark figure's throat. She squeezed his neck and coldly asked, "Who exactly are you?"

The man squinted his long, dark eyes and painfully uttered a few words, "You, you will never know... ah!"

A terrifying divine sense suddenly pierced deep into his Sea of Consciousness.

The dark figure felt a dull pain in his head and immediately wanted to wail.

However, Qiao Mu gave him no room for further struggle.

Since advancing to the Divine Realm, she was now capable of soul-searching on her own.

Too lazy to waste words with the person before her, she directly searched for information useful to her.

Only then did she realize that this man was indeed an acquaintance.

Though they had never met before, she had definitely heard his name.

Miss Jing Minyao of the Pangu Clan from Aurora Desert had once dispatched this person to the You Family in Shuntian Prefecture. Colluding with You Batian, he had attempted to harm her in the Qianluo Underground Arena.

You Hui, whom Qiao Mu met in the Qianluo Underground Arena, had actually been instructed by this very person.

She was also familiar with this person's name: "Dog Brother."

What a loyal dog to Jing Minyao!

She hadn't expected that even after Jing Minyao's death so long ago, Dog Brother would still think of seeking revenge on her.

And he chose a moment when she was alone.

As for the three elders, they were simply three assassins Dog Brother had hired by issuing a bounty in the black market.

The reward Dog Brother offered was one-tenth of the Pangu Clan's underground treasures.
