The road is vague

Chapter 225 First Glimpse of Talent (Part 4)

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi immediately flew into a rage.

"Stubborn to the end, they deserve to die!"

Say it.

He suddenly waved the Rock Dragon Banner in his hand, and as he poured in his magic power, a giant rock serpent more than three zhang long appeared, covered with dense earth spikes, which was extremely oppressive.

After the rock snake flew out of the flag, it shook its head and tail and pounced straight at Li Mo.

It exudes an aura of indestructibility, yet it appears rather dull and clumsy. It is excellent for dealing with cultivators who are good at straightforward tactics, but it would be unsuitable for dealing with Li Mo.

Li Mo's figure suddenly faded and disappeared. After activating the Wind-Controlling Cloak, he transformed into a wisp of wind using the Wind Escape Technique and instantly appeared behind Zhao Yi, gently pointing at the spirit beast beneath him.

The Heavenly Golden Sword, in perfect harmony with its surroundings, transformed once again into a fleeting, dark golden light.

Zhao Yi sensed something, and his face instantly turned pale, covered in cold sweat.

In his haste, he conjured a defensive talisman.

The earthen wall technique was instantly pierced by the dark golden light. Then, with a soft "pfft," the hard scales of the spirit beast beneath him were torn apart as easily as paper before the Heavenly Golden Sword, passing right through its body.

The spirit beast let out a shrill scream.

Zhao Yi quickly turned around and looked at Li Mo, who was using Wind Release Technique to launch a sneak attack from behind.

Not only are its flying swords incredibly sharp and terrifying, but they are also so elusive and unpredictable that they are impossible to defend against.

"Just who is this person?!"

As a disciple of the Enforcement Hall, Zhao Yi had hunted down many traitors within the sect, including several with mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation. However, this person was the first to exert such pressure on him in a single encounter.

Even in the midst of his rage, he was suddenly doused with cold water, and looking at Li Mo, he felt a chill run down his spine.

If that sword had been aimed at him, he might already be a corpse.

Zhao Yi gave a low shout and waved the Rock Dragon Flag again. The Rock Serpent circled in the air and then continued to wag its tail as it pounced on Li Mo.

The severely injured spirit beast opened its mouth and sprayed filthy demonic water at Li Mo, which contained a lot of internal organs and blood.

"Oh?"

Upon seeing this, Li Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.

As expected of a demon beast, despite suffering such severe injuries, it not only survived but also maintained considerable combat power.

If it were a human cultivator, they would probably already be a corpse.

Li Mo's figure glided lightly to the side, slightly dodging half a zhang to the left, effortlessly avoiding the filthy demonic water. Then, the Heavenly Golden Sword flashed again, heading straight for the spirit beast.

If one attempt isn't enough to kill it, then try a few more.

Even so-called demons, who are not afraid of being chopped by swords and axes, can still be killed if there are enough attempts.

As a disciple of the law enforcement team, Zhao Yi reacted quite quickly. After letting out a loud shout, two beams of spiritual light shot out from his eyes, sending the Tiancheng Huajin Sword flying more than ten feet away, where it tumbled in the air.

Li Mo was slightly surprised.

He immediately realized that the other party had actually refined the Spirit Eye into an attack technique. Such techniques had been passed down in the Spirit Eye Sect for a long time, but this was the first time he had encountered one.

the other side.

Zhao Yi was taken aback.

You should know that even the most powerful offensive magic weapon, with its Golden Eye, can suffer spiritual damage if struck unexpectedly. He has damaged countless magic weapons with it.

That's exactly how he got into the law enforcement team.

Unexpectedly, this dark gold flying sword was completely unharmed after being struck by his Golden Spirit Eye. After rolling more than ten feet, it circled around and attacked again.

At the same time, a Thunder Spear of the Netherworld condensed in Li Mo's hand.

Pure white lightning gathered in his palm, forming a terrifying lightning spiritual power that exuded a violent and destructive aura.

Seeing this, Zhao Yi realized the difference in magical power between the two sides and knew that he absolutely could not let the spirit beast withstand the attack.

He himself was quite easy to talk about, and he wasn't afraid of earth elemental magic.

However, this scaled crocodile had only recently advanced in cultivation and was a water-attribute demon beast, which was countered by the opponent's lightning magic. If it were injured by the lightning magic, even with its strong vitality, it would probably be difficult to survive. So he quickly put the spirit beast back into the summoning artifact.

"This person is no ordinary person. It seems we must use that magical artifact to buy time and wait for an opportunity."

Think of this.

Zhao Yi immediately switched to offense as defense, unleashing a flying shuttle with incredible speed.

Bang!
The shuttle was blocked by the Five Elements Black Tortoise Shield.

Zhao Yi had anticipated this. As he retracted the shuttle, he summoned his trump card, a small silver shield defensive artifact. It had a ferocious beast head pattern on it, which exuded a brutal spiritual energy and gave him the feeling of being watched by it.

After successfully deploying the shield, Zhao Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

This shield boasts astonishing defensive capabilities. It is said to have been crafted by a short-lived evil sect in the Tianyuan region, and is powerful enough to withstand that sharp flying sword.

However, when activating this shield, one must be extremely vigilant to avoid being harmed by its backlash.

During routine missions, as a member of the law enforcement team, he mostly cooperates in operations.

Even when facing some stubborn and powerful enemies who require him to unleash the power of this shield, other team members will be there to distract and protect him, so he only needs to focus on casting it.

In a one-on-one duel, he was quite strained when he unleashed his power while distracted.

After noticing the other party's actions, Li Mo smiled coldly to himself.

Judging from this person's fighting style, it seems that he was used to fighting outnumbered when carrying out missions to hunt down traitors in the Law Enforcement Hall.

If you have the advantage and the wind is favorable, you will naturally be invincible.

However, if he falls into a disadvantageous position, he will be hampered at every turn. As an outer disciple of the Special Operations Hall, he usually deals with various demons and monsters hiding in the shadows when carrying out missions. This requires him to be extremely adaptable. In order to prevent the demons and monsters from continuing to escape and cause trouble, his fighting style is often sharp and ruthless. He constantly seeks the initiative, observes weaknesses, and strikes a fatal blow without any hesitation.

The battle between the two sides was short-lived, and setting aside the difference in their individual strengths, their fighting styles were vastly different.

The dark golden light flashed again, but its target was not Zhao Yi; instead, it was aimed directly at the flying shuttle artifact that he was summoning back.

With a metallic clang, the shuttle was deflected by the Tiancheng Huajin Sword.

This flying shuttle magic weapon, although a fine example among high-grade magic weapons, is sufficient for the transition in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, but it is clearly not up to par for true top-level Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Li Mo is undoubtedly one of these top Foundation Establishment cultivators.

As the flying shuttle magic weapon was shattered by the Tiancheng Huajin Sword, losing much of its spiritual power, it stumbled and tumbled in the air. Zhao Yi noticed that Li Mo suddenly made a move to throw the Zha Nian Thunder Spear, aiming it directly at his flying shuttle magic weapon. Zhao Yi's expression changed drastically, but there was nothing he could do.

The lightning spear transformed into a streak of white light, moving at its maximum speed.

boom!
Rolling lightning erupted with a deafening roar.

The flying shuttle artifact shattered and scattered instantly.

As a result, Zhao Yi's face turned deathly pale, clearly suffering a severe backlash from the magic. He staggered and nearly fell, managing to land on a rockery by the Azure Dragon Pool.

Li Mo was experienced in combat. He activated the Dark Concealment Thunder Step and instantly appeared beside Zhao Yi, giving him no chance to resist. The Xuanming Needle flashed and disappeared into Zhao Yi's body.

After a brief struggle, Zhao Yi's eyes gradually became glazed over.

The giant earthen serpent in the distance also collapsed and disintegrated, letting out a mournful roar as it transformed into rolling earth elemental energy that dissipated.

This is why Lu Qi had instructed him that since the two were disciples of the same sect, he went to the extra trouble of not killing the other party.

"Zhao Yi!"

A hammer was thrown from afar, crashing down with tremendous force.

Li Mo possessed astonishing divine sense and remained cautious, paying close attention to the surrounding situation to avoid being ambushed or surrounded. He immediately became aware of this.

The flying hammer wasn't particularly fast, but it was full of violent energy.

Li Mo immediately grabbed Zhao Yi and quickly retreated, avoiding the flying hammer strike.

With a deafening roar, the massive artificial mountain was struck by a flying hammer, sending rubble and dust flying everywhere. Half of the mountain had been ruthlessly sheared off, and dense cracks spread downwards.

The Five Elements Black Tortoise Shield blocked a large amount of rubble.

Li Mo glanced sideways and gave the man a brief, indifferent look.

If he hadn't reacted quickly and taken Zhao Yi with him, Zhao Yi would probably be a corpse by now.

This was a burly male cultivator from the Enforcement Hall with a thick beard. His relationship with Zhao Yi seemed to be quite extraordinary. When he saw Zhao Yi fighting with Li Mo, and how Zhao Yi was quickly defeated by Li Mo in a short while, he was horrified and wanted to rush to Zhao Yi's aid at all costs.

Only then did he suddenly realize that he had almost accidentally killed his friend of many years.

The entire shore of Qinglongtan Lake was in complete chaos.

The vast sky and ground were filled with figures of both sides vying for supremacy. At this moment, the two sides were only a few dozen feet apart, and even if he wanted to rush to their aid, it was already too late.

Moreover, the Justice Society clearly had the advantage in numbers, and his previous opponents quickly resumed their fighting, engaging him in a fierce melee with no way to retaliate.

"Captain Wang's opponent is none other than myself! The Great Capturing Hand!"

Wen Sheng let out a loud shout in the air, and a milky white spiritual power hand, about ten feet long, descended from the sky, stirring up ripples in all directions. It seemed to have some kind of inexplicable locking power, blocking Wang Sai who wanted to come to the rescue.

Left with no other choice, Wang Sai retaliated silently.

A powerful and majestic aura surged forth, silently coalescing into a sword within a book, which pierced towards the giant hand in the air.

The sword intent of this sword is similar in level to that of Li Mo's Bai'an Zhengyang sword intent; both have shown signs of being comprehended, belonging to the minor details.

After a brief stalemate, both sides eventually broke up.

Wen Sheng didn't take it seriously. He continued to stop Wang Sai while glancing at Li Mo.

"Hahahaha! As expected of Instructor Li, then let's trouble Instructor Li to cooperate with Fellow Daoist Xiang in dealing with the Six Gates Golden Lock Barrier they've formed over there. It's time to let these arrogant inner disciples experience the fruits of our outer disciples' arduous training. This is something those guys who live comfortably on the mountain can't achieve through meditation and qi cultivation!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mo glanced into the distance.

Over there, gleaming with golden light, were indeed six disciples of the Enforcement Hall who had formed a barrier, creating a terrifying suppressive force against all the offensive magical artifacts containing golden essence in the vast area.

Even though Xiang Wenqiang had led a group of people to suppress it, they were still unable to break the barrier, which seemed quite troublesome.

Wang Sai stared at Li Mo, repeatedly trying to stop him.

However, Wen Sheng's talisman skills were simply unbelievable. He could draw talismans on the spot, concentrate his essence, energy and spirit into one point, and form a fusion of heaven and man. His strength was astonishing, and he actually suppressed him. He was a formidable enemy who could match Xue Tai's strength and could be regarded as the best among the foundation-building disciples of Lingmu Sect.

As for the other four late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, their strength was relatively average.

Thus, he could only watch helplessly as Li Mo defeated Zhao Yi. However, the good news was that Li Mo did not intend to kill Zhao Yi, which gave him a glimmer of hope.

"To lay down the butcher's knife and repent is the greatest virtue; you must not make a mistake for yourself!"

Li Mo turned around, ignoring him completely.

He took out the dust-covered mirror and attempted to seal Zhao Yi.

The mirror light was connected to the spatial restriction array here, and also had some connection with the mountain protection array. After landing on Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi, who was immersed in ecstasy and emitting waves of lewd sounds, quickly faded away.

Foundation Establishment cultivators are different from Qi Refining cultivators.

Even though Zhao Yi offered no resistance, it still took Li Mo a great deal of effort to finally seal him away, and it was unknown where he was suppressed.

Wang Sai, who was in the distance, was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that these members of the Justice Society are not truly insane; this struggle remains a contest of ideas rather than a power struggle.

Therefore, even if there is bloodshed and death in this conflict, it is much better than a bloody purge.
