The Golden Creation Seal? Li Mo had a pretty good idea of what that was.
As for the “Zhou Tian Xing Dou Xuanji Method,” he didn’t quite know what kind of martial arts it was, but just hearing the name out loud made it clear to him that it was definitely not your average fare.
The feedback from the Ice Chunk was definitely not going to be bad.
And it had something to do with Xuanji as well.
Just in time, he was close to stepping into the Xuanji Realm.
“Gotta research it after I recover.”
Li Mo collected himself and took a six-patterned recovery pill to recuperate.
He looked at the collapsing space, trying to stand up.
However, at this moment, his inner energy was drained, and his body was severely overstressed.
Just trying to stand made his vision go black, and he couldn’t help but stumble.
But—
A delicate, jade-like hand suddenly held him up.
Li Mo looked up, and who else but Ying Bing was there.
Ying Bing pursed her lips for a moment before softly saying, “Stand straight. You’re not supposed to fall down right now.”
Li Mo: “….”
Sometimes he just couldn’t figure out what the Daughter of Destiny was thinking.
He could actually…
Well, fine.
Though Ice Chunk was all cold and icy, her presence was soft and fragrant, and leaning against her felt quite comfortable…
In the distance, a golden money tree was rapidly approaching.
Elder Qian was almost here.
Li Mo let out a sigh of relief, completely relaxing his mind.
Ying Bing suddenly spoke up, asking, “What’s that fighting spirit behind you?”
It was clearly the form of the Observation Realm.
If it was activated through a secret method, the cost was usually quite high.
For example, when she activated the bl**d Phoenix essence, even if she was using already stored power, the burden on her was still enormous.
Having power that didn’t belong to you often came with a hefty price.
Li Mo smacked his lips and said, “Got it unexpectedly, but too bad I can only use it this once.”
“How do you feel now?” Ying Bing asked again.
“Sigh, not great.”
As soon as Little Li finished his sentence, Ying Bing’s brows furrowed.
Then he heard him let out a sigh: “Experiencing such a powerful force makes me feel so weak right now.”
“I really want to step into the Observation Realm soon.”
The moment that power left his body, he truly wasn’t used to it.
It felt like his whole body had been filled with lead.
“…..”
Ying Bing lowered her eyes, her expression complicated.
His lack of discomfort indicated that the quality of that talisman was superb and a very precious item.
If she had that talisman, it would be hard for her to rank above Li Mo next time.
Just thinking about this made her mind flash to a certain Young Man bathed in heavenly light, resembling a deity.
Now without that talisman, she had completely refined the bl**d Phoenix essence.
But why wasn’t she feeling happy about it?
She had to admit.
If it weren’t for him, forget about the bl**d Phoenix essence—she might not even be standing here…
Crash—
The money tree arrived, enveloping the two of them and whipping up more than just them; there was also Tang Xiaobao and a whole bunch of other talented folks.
“No time to explain!”
“The Huanmo Sect’s goons are here, and the fighting outside is fiercer.”
“I’ll take you all to a safe place.”
Qian Bufan, standing atop the money tree, said with a serious expression.
Then the tree’s shadow enveloped everyone and they flew into the air.
Ahead, a vast space collapsed.
Old Qian felt a bit of pain in his heart and pulled a block of red gold from his pocket, tossing it into the money tree.
His aura suddenly became stronger.
Boom—
The money tree surged out.
Li Mo: “…..So charging money makes you stronger?”
Suddenly thinking that maybe learning from Elder Qian’s skills wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
Meanwhile, the rest of the crowd also employed their means; for instance, the scholar from Fen Yu Lin made the area resemble a flowing ink painting, while the elder from Hengyun Sword City took a more straightforward approach, transforming into a massive sword that swept away everything in its path.
Finally.
Everyone burst out of this secret realm.
Boom boom boom—
Old Qian wasn’t wrong.
—
Outside, chaos erupted. The Huanmo Sect’s people came to reinforce and clashed with various strong characters, leaving everyone in a state of confusion about who had the upper hand.
“Yin Huaxuan, I’ve been dying to smack you around!”
“Hmph, you think you can escape?!”
A murderous yet charming voice echoed through the skies.
A fiery lotus bloomed.
A woman in palace attire smashed her pink fists into Yin Huaxuan’s half-human, half-dragon head, shattering his dragon horn, sending him crashing into a mountain peak.
“Shang Wu! Don’t push me!” Yin Huaxuan threatened furiously.
“Traitors barking again.”
“Ha, compared to me, you’re the real traitor……”
As she finished speaking, Shang Wu squinted her big eyes, her pink fists crackling with energy.
“I, Shang Wu, elder of Qunyu Peak.”
“And that’s all there is to it!”
Bam—
Then…
A merciless beatdown ensued.
Yin Huaxuan’s half-human, half-dragon body was used as a weapon by the woman, swinging him around and knocking several Huanmo Sect guardians backward, spewing bl**d.
Under the money tree, everyone watching felt their scalps tingle and their hearts racing.
“Which sect does that woman belong to?”
“Good grief…. she’s brutal.”
“Shang Wu? I know her… I used to think those rumors were exaggerated, but now it looks like they were really quite mild…”
Everyone lowered their heads one by one.
Bai Jinghong didn’t even dare look anywhere, afraid of getting spotted and dragged into a beating too.
Honestly, just being obedient.
“Uh, that’s actually an elder from our Qingyuan Sect and also…”
“Brother Ke’s master.”
Ouyang chuckled wryly.
Everyone suddenly enlightened.
That made sense.
“Brother, you…..”
Ke Mo couldn’t help but facepalm.
He wanted to remedy the situation and smiled warmly at everyone: “Honestly, most of my martial arts have been self-taught.”
“The sword technique is actually my…….”
Smack—
A star-shaped hammer slipped from his sleeve and clanked to the ground.
Everyone: “….”
“d*mn it, I forgot to put that away!”
Ke Mo picked up the hammer, frustrated, swinging it a couple of times.
Then he looked kindly at everyone again: “You all know….. huh? Ouyang, why are you kneeling?”
“I believe!”
Tie Qi nodded vigorously.
“I believe too! Brother Ke, you were born to be a dashing swordsman.”
“Who says otherwise? I’ll back him up!”
Watching Brother Ke shake that hammer around like it was going to knock someone out, Ouyang stated solemnly.
Well, Yin Huacheng didn’t buy it.
What would his ending be?
Bai Jinghong clenched his fists.
He felt that anyone who didn’t use a sword was a brute, let alone someone who used a hammer.
How many people in the martial world wielded a hammer?
What a coincidence, Luo Yu thought the same way.
But then he remembered the numerous times his little sister mentioned the King of Hammers from the Northwest.
And then recalled Yin Huacheng’s resolute expression, along with the secret realm that had been smashed with a single blow.
“I, Bai, am willing to admit that your swordsmanship surpasses me.”
“Brother Ke, I’m tight with the fast hands at Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, I’ll personally draft a letter and let them help spread your name.”
“I’ll help with the illustrations, I promise to make them look cool!”
“Keep a low profile, it’s just a title…….”
….
Outside, chaos reigned.
Meanwhile, things were getting ridiculous in here.
Ying Bing watched this boylet going on about his performance, being modest on the outside, yet unable to hide a smug grin that looked like it was celebrating the New Year. She stared for a while.
She was somewhat confused.
Wasn’t he the one who was always busy in the kitchen at Qiushui Pavilion?
Wasn’t he the one who leapt down with her at Qingyuan?
Like a war god, the one who confidently stood before her and let her refine the bl**d Phoenix essence was still him.
From start to finish, he hadn’t even given a single thought about that precious bl**d Phoenix essence.
He was really something….
Ying Bing had never felt so baffled by someone before.
