“Li Mo is swaying like a candle in the wind!”
“He’s about to go down!”
At this moment, the members of the Lingxi Gate, looking at Li Mo who resembled an unsteady flame, put all their effort into the fray.
Initially, they had jumped into action just because the tension was palpable. If they didn’t join in, it would look a bit dull, wouldn’t it?
But now, they were fueled by a glimmer of hope to take down Li Mo.
Indeed, what they had left were the elite of the Lingxi Gate, unleashing an endless array of jinxing spells, congratulatory spells, and lethal curses like it was Chinese New Year with firecrackers—any formidable opponent, no matter how powerful, would have to be bitterly defeated here, right?
Especially as Li Mo displayed the valiant effort of holding on by a thread, appearing ready to collapse any moment.
It was just like a boss with one tiny sliver of health left, beckoning to you, just a little more effort and you could see it burst into a shower of gleaming golden light…
“Surviving tribulations really is the fastest way to boost one’s power!”
While Li Mo was mumbling, “Ah, I’m about to bite the dust,” his genius brain was working overtime.
Curses from all those jinxing spells could also serve to hone his own skills.
So couldn’t he just find a sect similar to the Lingxi Gate to fight with and unleash some combat skills? Wouldn’t that mean he could strengthen his body at lightning speed like today?
The more one thinks, the easier it is to lose focus.
“How can Li Mo hang on for so long even when it seems he’s running on fumes?”
“I feel like with every pained groan, his essence is coming back stronger!”
Some among the Lingxi Gate noticed something amiss.
Be it jinxing spells or congratulatory spells, they all came with a hefty price to pay.
As they felt themselves on the brink of exhaustion, Li Mo still looked the same as ever.
But at this moment, Li Mo caught on to this realization and actively compressed his qi and bl**d within.
“Today, even if I d*e, I’ll still be the lucky little tyrant!”
“Kekeke!”
All doubts among the Lingxi Gate members dissipated, revealing sinister smiles.
It wasn’t an illusion.
He really was cornered at the end of his rope.
Just like that old servant from before, he was sounding big, yet his steps were retreating, prepared to make a run for it at any moment!
Having already been tricked by their own once, did they really think they’d fall for the same old trick again?
“Stop with the empty thunder and let’s see some real rain! Bring out all those hidden cards!”
“Keke, I’ve got the Green Corpse Cold I prepared for years, it’s time to put it to good use!”
“Hmph, think you can escape!”
Suddenly, the mountain forest echoed with various howls, dark rays flying, eerie green ghostly faces, murderous bl**d banners… all manner of visible and invisible tactics rushed out.
Seeing this, Li Mo didn’t dare take it lightly and let loose the qi and bl**d that had been tightly compressed within him.
In the midst of an ominous storm, a giant of crimson hue sprang forth.
Shhhhhh—
The Lingxi Gate members quickly realized something was off as their hidden techniques sputtered out.
This time, their attack was several times stronger than before.
But as they exerted all their strength, why did the winds and clouds surrounding that red giant intensify?
In contrast, their internal domains were illuminated by the red light and instantly fell into silence.
“Could it be that he’s had a breakthrough in the heat of battle?”
“Wait, a breakthrough wouldn’t return him to full capacity instantly!”
The atmosphere turned a tad awkward.
They threw everything they had to defeat the boss, only to discover there was still a fifth stage to go.
Run? None were willing; they had all paid a hefty price just now. Charge forward? With their abilities, they were stuck at this point.
“Let’s all work together…”
“Shut it! This move has already been used three times!”
Friendly reminder: to make it easier for everyone to pick books, the website’s “Ranking” page has been optimized. You might want to check it out!
“Let’s all run based on our own capabilities! No matter how impressive Ke Mo is, I don’t believe he can wipe out all of us!”
“Speaking of… Where are our fellow sect members outside?”
As they scattered in a frenzy, they had no idea that the true Huanmo Sect had arrived.
Fortunately, some fortunate souls would stay blissfully ignorant.
Ke Mo sighed, realizing that no matter how great his acting skills were, the opponent wouldn’t fall for it again. With reluctance, he yanked out nine hairs.
As those hairs touched the ground, they dispersed into his external forms.
The members of the Lingxi Gate had all suffered varying degrees of backlash from their techniques, and with his internal landscape suppressing them, they couldn’t run too far, even when scattering about.
When chased down by his external forms, they met a fist to the face.
“I’m here to help you!”
Qian Bufan popped out, having removed his Nirvana Glass Silk.
The money tree shook vigorously, adding some flair to the chaos.
Not long after.
The sounds in the mountain forest gradually quieted down.
“There are still quite a few who slipped through. There are simply too many people.”
Qian Bufan’s chubby cheeks wore a serious expression.
The roots of the Lingxi Gate were far deeper; they likely wouldn’t let this slide easily.
“Not that many,” Ke Mo scratched his chin.
“Hmm?”
“The Huanmo Sect members really did come by, and they just so happened to bump into Lingxi members impersonating them. Everyone knows that the Hall of Beasts isn’t exactly the brightest.”
This was what Ke Mo’s external form had seen earlier.
A member who had narrowly escaped from him ran right into the Huanmo Sect group.
Qian Bufan fell silent for a few seconds, “…To be this unlucky, I’d never touch jinxing spells even if I died!”
“Yeah, that is pretty unlucky.”
Little Ke nodded in agreement, summoning a Nimbus Cloud.
The Lingxi Gate members had a slight understanding of who he was, but not much.
They knew he had a fourth-level internal landscape but didn’t know what miraculous effects it had, knew he was physically strong but had no idea how strong he really was…
If the Lingxi Gate had followed a normal path, they would’ve had to weigh their options and find a chance to avoid his edge.
Yet, they started off with a forbidden mystic array and even had jinxing spells that could help him hone his skills…
Hmm?
Why does it feel like the Lingxi Gate was tricked before him?
The cloud carried the two away from the scene of… ahem, the battlefield.
…..
Before long, Luo Yexian made his way to this spot, his eyes bl**d-red, exuding chaotic malevolence.
Never would he have expected.
This group impersonating their demonic sect had reinforcements, seemingly endless, constantly pushing outward.
The Hall of Beasts’ practitioners, focused on exhilarating battles, were now growing weary.
“Hall Master, where’s Ke Mo?”
“Oh no, I got so caught up in the excitement of killing that I forgot!”
“Do you think we’ve taken out so many robbers, does that count as a contribution? Will Da Yu give us a commendation flag for being good citizens?”
“If they dared send it, would you dare accept it?”
……
P.S.: Little Pu Jie is currently in the countryside, flew here the day before yesterday, took a bus yesterday, and it’s been a bumpy ride nonstop.
Forgive the audience for the erratic updates; I’m typing this on my phone, and this terrible place barely has any signal.
