The road is vague

Chapter 227 First Glimpse of Talent (Part Six)

Time for a cup of tea passes.

Li Mo completely integrated into the battle, and during this time he did not display any particularly outstanding strength. The people around him obviously lowered their guard against him and no longer paid special attention to him.

One hundred and fifty zhang, one hundred and forty zhang, one hundred and thirty zhang...

In the midst of his entanglement with the Wood Spirit Giant, Li Mo finally approached within a hundred feet of the Six Gates Golden Lock Barrier's prohibition zone, where the suppression of the forbidden metal power was clearly superior.

Just as he was about to make a move, someone beat him to it.

This made Li Mo's eyelids twitch, and he immediately stopped what he was doing.

This person was none other than Zhao Liang, a second-year disciple whom Li Mo had faced during the first-year year-end assessment. He suddenly let out a loud shout, creating an astonishing sandstorm that seemed to engulf the entire core area of ​​the Six Gates Golden Lock Barrier.

For a time, sandstorms swept across the shores of Qinglongtan.

He then thrust his spear out like a dragon, unleashing his magical weapon and aiming it directly at Lü Zun.

This person is a well-known array master, a disciple of Master Xiang of Thousand Bamboo Peak. He may not be worth mentioning in terms of array-setting skills, but he is extraordinary in terms of breaking arrays.

However, at that moment, a powerful force of forbidden metal enveloped them.

The silver spear suddenly stopped more than ten feet away from Lü Zun, and then fell as heavy as a thousand pounds. It seemed that within this core area, all materials containing the power of the golden spirit would be severely suppressed.

call out!
Another arrow, its afterimage seemingly appearing from nowhere, flew in a flash and disappeared, heading straight for the golden decree.

"A feint to the east while attacking in the west is a trivial skill."

One of the members of the group, who formed the Six Gates Golden Lock Barrier, activated the Ice Shield Technique.

The arrow pierced through the ice shield and landed on the golden token.

The token emitted a dazzling golden light, and the arrow made of wood elemental power, after a brief stalemate, instantly disintegrated and disappeared into nothingness.

"Its power is slightly weaker."

Upon seeing this, Li Mo sighed inwardly.

Seeing his plan fail, Zhao Liang sighed inwardly and immediately prepared to flee the place of trouble.

The massive sandstorm was dispersed by a surge of powerful spiritual energy, and the silver spear, which had been firmly suppressed by the barrier on the ground, shattered inch by inch as it was struck by a heavy silver ingot magic weapon.

Zhao Liang suffered a backlash from the magic and stumbled to the ground.

Before Zhao Liang could react, a seemingly righteous female cultivator who had set up the six golden lock barriers revealed a cold smile. The hairpin magic weapon in her hand disappeared instantly, and the next moment she passed through Zhao Liang's forehead, letting his corpse explode into a ball of white fluid before falling down.

"Zhao Liang!!"

Two people nearby, a man and a woman, who knew him well, let out heart-wrenching screams. Zhao Liang had an excellent reputation in the Justice Society and naturally had many friends.

The female cultivator among them was none other than Zhao Huaxue.

She joined the Justice Society through Zhao Liang's introduction, and the two have maintained contact ever since.

Li Mo couldn't help but take a deep breath, revealing a hint of solemnity.

Zhao Liang was not the first to sacrifice himself in this reform, nor will he be the last.

Suddenly.

In Li Mo's hand, the Zha Nian Thunder Spear materialized.

Pure, milky-white lightning gathered in his palm, and his magical pressure spread out, immediately attracting the attention of many people.

Zhou Can was aware of this.

He gave a soft, cold laugh, then made a hand gesture with one finger.

With a flash of dazzling lightning, the wood spirit giant had its entire head and a large portion of its body severed.

Tao Ran, seeing this from afar, was overjoyed, but his smile quickly froze.

The spirit pearl, radiating immense wood elemental power, suddenly rose from its belly, and a large number of vines rapidly grew, soon giving the spirit wood giant a brand new head.

"Haha, Immortal Scholar, your Wood Spirit Orbs are becoming more and more wondrous!"

The white-bearded old man inside the six golden lock barriers let out a hearty laugh, seemingly in a very good mood.

Zhou Can was quite pleased with what he heard, and his pride was evident in his words.

"This is a Wood Spirit Pearl refined from the branches and leaves of our sect's ancient sacred tree. To exchange for those few branches, I almost exhausted the sect's contribution. How could these outer disciples possibly understand its wondrous nature? With me guarding this place, you can rest assured..."

He was speaking smugly when he suddenly realized that Li Mo had disappeared.

Taking advantage of the fact that many people were distracted by the destructive power of the Zha Nian Thunder Spear, Li Mo seized the opportunity to activate the Wind Escape Technique. His figure appeared in the sky like a gentle breeze, bringing him closer to the prohibition.

Holding a heavenly hammer and earth chisel, Li Mo's face was solemn as he struck the chisel with a sudden force.

A surge of violent and destructive spiritual pressure erupted!

"Stop him now!"

Zhou Can felt a chill run down his spine, but it was too late to do anything.

The pitch-black lightning, brimming with destructive power, flashed by in an instant, moving at an incredible speed, covering a distance of seventy or eighty feet in a matter of moments.

"not good!"

The six people who formed the six golden lock barriers were horrified when they sensed the power of the destructive lightning. They immediately used defensive measures to try to stop it, but they were clearly a step too late.

The black lightning struck the golden token with perfect accuracy, creating a brief standoff with the golden light.

Then, with a loud boom, black lightning pierced through the surface, striking the center of the golden token.

The power to block metal from all directions suddenly collapsed and disappeared.

All these changes happened so fast that not only did the disciples of the Enforcement Hall not react in time, but even the members of the Justice Society were noticeably a step behind. Soon after, the whole place erupted in uproar.

"Senior Brother Li, you!!"

Tao Ran looked at Li Mo, his eyes filled with undisguised shock and admiration. For a moment, he didn't know what to say, and his heart was pounding.

After a brief moment of shock, Xiang Wenqiang finally reacted and then threw his head back and burst into hearty laughter.

"Fellow Daoist Li, well done!"

After saying that, he raised the furnace high and smashed it towards the six people who had previously set up the barrier.

The six people were immediately horrified and scattered in all directions. Boom!
Immediately following was a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth, and an enormous crater appeared on the ground, instantly disrupting the formation of the Enforcement Hall disciples.

While the disciples of the Justice Society were overjoyed, the disciples of the Enforcement Hall were furious.

Almost simultaneously, several gazes fell upon Li Mo, radiating undisguised hatred, as if they wanted to tear him to pieces. The disciples of the Justice Society, who held a numerical advantage, rushed forward; both sides were practically bloodthirsty.

The person most annoyed at this moment was undoubtedly Zhou Can.

He was responsible for defending against Li Mo, and he made a complete fool of himself in this battle.

Seeing that Li Mo had broken through the six golden lock barriers right in front of him, he recalled his previous smug attitude and immediately became arrogant and ugly. His eyes turned red and he became hysterical.

"Give me your life!" he roared, his hands quickly forming hand seals before he solemnly pointed at the four wood spirit giants.

The four wood spirits gathered together, their vines intertwining and quickly merging into one, expanding to more than two zhang in size. This immediately caused Tao Ran and Zhao Huaxue, who were nearby, to show surprise and instinctively retreat.

Li Mo sensed something.

After using the Five Elements Black Tortoise Shield to block the firebird, he once again summoned the Heavenly Golden Sword. A flash of dark golden light disappeared in an instant, colliding with another flying sword and deflecting it.

He had become the center of attention in the area.

To avoid being surrounded, he immediately used the Hidden Thunder Step, dodging two more attacks and temporarily escaping this dangerous place.

Zhou Can followed closely behind, roaring in fury.

"Where to run!"

Only when the members of the Justice Society were engaged in combat with the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall and were no longer in danger of being besieged did Li Mo stop and turn to look at Zhou Can, who was driving the fused wood spirit giant.

Zhou Can's hair and crane cloak fluttered without wind, his spiritual energy raging wildly.

He let out a low, labored breath and stared intently at Li Mo.

"You people from the foot of the mountain are all so treacherous and cunning! You clearly have such strength, yet you act like you're hiding your true colors. It's truly despicable!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mo scoffed and mocked.

He immediately summoned the thirty-six puppets from his storage bracelet.

Zhou Can was stunned to see that Li Mo had summoned so many puppets in one go.

An astonishing magnetic force was generated between these puppets, causing them to quickly coalesce into a single entity, forming a combined puppet similar in size to the Wood Spirit Giant, which stood in stark contrast to it.

"I think you've been staying in the mountains for too long and are unaware of the hardships of the human world. You're making sarcastic remarks here. There are countless demons and monsters that have been lurking in the mortal realm for decades. How many of them openly and honestly show themselves to compete?"

The duration of this battle is still unknown, so Li Mo wants to conserve his mana as much as possible, and therefore only summoned one set of matrix puppets.

Zhou Can's breathing became heavy as he realized that this person was no ordinary individual.

In the midst of this chaotic battlefield, the disciples of the Dharma Protector Hall were at a disadvantage in terms of both cultivation level and numbers, so he couldn't help but quietly look around.

Both sides sustained injuries.

All three captains were already tied down by the enemy's late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the other battle groups were also mostly at a disadvantage, so it would be difficult for them to come to their aid in the short term.

It seems we must approach this battle with the attitude of fighting to the death.

Think of this.

Zhou Can coldly said, "State your name, I, Zhou Can, will not kill..."

"What are you looking around for, sir?"

Li Mo seized the opportunity presented by Zhou Can's observation of the battlefield, leaving an afterimage with his spiritual light, and silently appeared behind him using earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic in Chinese fantasy novels). The Xuanming Needle flashed and disappeared, piercing into Zhou Can's body.

Zhou Can then realized what was happening and was immediately terrified. He desperately used his inner energy to protect his soul and body, while simultaneously flying backward.

Li Mo naturally wouldn't give him a chance to resist, and immediately unleashed the Heavenly Golden Sword to press his advantage.

the other side.

The Matrix Golems were also engaged in a fierce battle with the Wood Giants.

As expected of an elite disciple of the Enforcement Hall, Zhou Can possessed profound and refined magical power. He was able to temporarily suppress the blissful state of the Xuanming Needles within his body, unleash the Mother-Child Chain Flying Knife, and engage in combat with the Tiancheng Huajin Sword. He then spared no expense in sending out a mid-level ice-attribute spirit talisman.

After doing all this, he quickly sat cross-legged on the ground and tried to forcefully suppress the Xuanming Needle.

The ice sculpture spread its wings and attacked. Before it even got close, Li Mo felt a stinging pain on his cheek and a faint sense of bone-chilling frost. Its power was extraordinary.

At this time.

The Thunder Beast suddenly descended from the sky, appearing in front of the ice sculpture and blocking the attack.

The Thunder Beast let out a mournful cry and quickly dissipated. The Ice Sculpture Technique also exhausted its power, and large snowflakes fell from the sky.

After Li Mo rushed through the frost area, he used the Shattering Whip to lash Zhou Can, who was focused and concentrating, forcibly interrupting his process of suppressing the Xuanming Needles.

Zhou Can let out a scream and glared at Li Mo through gritted teeth.

"Just kill me……"

Li Mo remained unmoved, simply watching the other person quietly.

This person's wood spirit technique was quite enlightening for him, and those spirit orbs were quite wondrous and might be of great use in the future.

After a brief period of painful struggle, as the Xuanming Needles took effect, Zhou Can's face visibly flushed, his eyes gradually became hazy, and his pain was quickly replaced by pleasure, plunging him into endless bliss. His body began to rub against each other, emitting lewd sounds.

As Li Mo took out the Dust-Sealing Mirror and sealed it, he revealed a thoughtful expression.

“When inner disciples fight, they often follow the rules step by step, focusing more on the power of their spells and less on adaptability, exploiting weaknesses, and launching clever surprise attacks.”

Otherwise, dealing with Zhou Can would probably require quite a bit of effort.

"Junior Brother Zhao Liang, I've avenged you!!"

A heart-wrenching scream came from afar.

Li Mo turned his head to look.

A male cultivator was seen holding aloft the head of the female cultivator who had previously killed Zhao Liang. The scene was truly bloody, and he had clearly forgotten Lu Qi's instructions.

The battle between the two sides has lasted less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and the disciples of the Enforcement Hall are already showing signs of defeat. It is only a matter of time before they are defeated.
