The road is vague

Chapter 231 First Glimpse of Talent (Part 10)

After Li Mo once again concealed himself using the Formless Robe, the three of them quickly stepped forward and pulled Dian Chang, who had been ambushed, out of the lake.

After confirming that the man had died, the three men looked quite grim.

"Su Dianchang had already advanced to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage some time ago, and he also had the Ice Soul Hook and the Flame Suppressing Fork, two famous top-grade magic weapons, yet he inexplicably disintegrated. This person's strength is simply too astonishing."

This head of the department was named Lin Xuan.

Half of his body seemed to be covered by tree bark, making him look extremely ferocious and terrifying. It was as if he had suffered some kind of curse, and he could no longer be described as human.

"Who exactly is that person? Does he intend to turn the tables and kill us?"

He had barely finished speaking when he vaguely sensed some spatial ripples, and then suddenly stood up and turned around.

A series of spiritual lights shot into the sky, forming a large array in a short time that instantly engulfed the other three people who were entangled with the puppet.

After the three of them realized what was happening, they immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

"He actually set up a formation here in advance?"

"There's a murderous aura. Don't move! That person is definitely still nearby!"

They originally came here to hunt down the killer, but now it seems the roles have been reversed.

Although his two companions said this, Lin Xuan could clearly sense that they were starting to panic.

These two were merely officers in charge of dealing with prisoners. Accustomed to lording it over everyone in the Zhenfeng Pavilion, they behaved so poorly on the battlefield where life and death hung in the balance.

As an inner disciple who had participated in the Hundred Years' War, Lin Xuan's cultivation had reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

After a brief moment of suppressed emotion, he glanced at the main battlefield and saw that his side was clearly in a superior position. He immediately offered words of comfort.

"Don't panic. All three of them are at the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if they are trapped in the formation, they will be fine for a while. The three of us just need to work together and act cautiously. Don't let him defeat us one by one. With three against one, even if he is exceptionally strong, we don't need to be afraid."

He didn't mention the foolish idea of ​​rescuing the three men.

Given their limited knowledge of formations, they are completely ignorant of the principles of formations. To break the injection, they can only rely on brute force, which is unwise under these circumstances.

Say it.

Lin Xuan took out a stone tablet, which was covered with complex silver dwarf script.

As he infused his magic power, these silver spherical characters seemed to come alive, traversing the past, present, and future to form dynamic runes of heaven and earth, which were extremely mysterious.

"Ancient Scripture Stele!"

"It's wonderful that Chief Lin has brought this treasure."

The two elders, both at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, visibly relaxed upon seeing the white stone tablet, clearly aware of its power.

So the three of them each summoned their magical artifacts, stood ready, and looked around.

After a while.

The three of them saw that there was no movement around them, only the main battlefield in the central area of ​​the Azure Dragon Pool, where the spiritual energy fluctuations rose and fell, and the strange pressure of the large formation not far away kept emerging.

The rays of spiritual light that formed the great array trembled and intertwined from time to time, revealing high-frequency changes within the array.

The situation inside was clearly not as easy as Lin Xuan had described.

"Instructor Lin, I think this formation is extraordinary. I don't know how long those three can hold out. This can't go on like this."

One of the two Foundation Establishment stage elders had his nose cut off, making his face extremely ugly. He spoke uneasily.

Lin Xuan was also starting to lose his composure.

He activated his spiritual eye and looked around, but still couldn't find Li Mo. However, the feeling of unease in his heart didn't dissipate, so he spoke in a cold voice to probe.

"You look unfamiliar to me; you must be an outsider disciple as well?"

The surroundings remained completely silent, with only the rumbling of the great array's spiritual light.

Lin Xuan licked his lips, constantly switching between different perspectives of his spiritual eye, trying to find Li Mo's whereabouts from different angles, but he was never able to do so successfully.

"Although you set up a formation here in advance and successfully lured us into a trap, managing to kill one of our junior brothers, this is of little importance to the overall battle. Do you intend to just wait until the battle is over?"

"huh huh huh huh."

With a mocking laugh, Li Mo appeared on his own, pointing lightly at the three of them when he was less than thirty feet away.

The three were immediately startled and quickly summoned their magical artifacts to block the attack.

The dark golden light entangled and fought with the three magical artifacts, and for a short time, neither was at a disadvantage. After appearing, Li Mo took out a jade box and looked at the white stone tablet behind the three people.

"It seems that this stone tablet, which is covered with silver swan-like characters, is what you rely on."

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, leaning against the ancient scripture stele, ready to strike.

"Are you perhaps planning to fight three against one here?"

"One against three?"

Li Mo chuckled and then tore off the sealing talisman from the jade box.

An incredibly pure spiritual energy surged out from the jade box.

The three officials, led by Lin Xuan, widened their eyes and stared at the treasure inside the jade box, their expressions filled with disbelief.

This is a white spirit stone the size of a fist, its abundant spiritual power almost forming a vortex of spiritual energy.

As Li Mo held it in his palm, the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth quickly flowed into his body. He couldn't help but let out a soft groan. His mana, which had been greatly depleted, was quickly replenished. It seemed that he could replenish the 40% of mana he had consumed in just half an hour.

"A high-grade spirit stone!!"

Lin Xuan let out a hoarse cry, looking at Li Mo as if he were a monster.

In this battle, only the victors are remembered. Li Mo has no room for maneuver.

He originally intended to use this high-grade spirit stone for his core formation, not for trading. Now that he has absorbed some spiritual energy in advance, it will not delay his plans.

Faced with the shocked looks of the three, Li Mo did not care. He sensed that after enduring the torment of the three people in the Six Calamities and Six Tribulations Annihilation Array for half an incense stick's time, the last one was finally killed. He made a hand seal and gently pointed backward. Thirty-six spiritual lights quickly gathered and reassembled into one, transforming into a giant puppet.

The corpses, remains, and fragments of magical artifacts within the formation all fell into the water.

Besides.

The Six Ding Six Jia Matrix Puppet also appeared within the great formation.

Li Mo actually released this matrix puppet into the Six Calamities and Six Disasters Annihilation Array at the same time, thus quickly annihilating the three people inside the array.

The Six Ding Six Jia Matrix Puppet and the Six Calamities Six Disasters Matrix Puppet appeared on Li Mo's left and right sides respectively.

"It's three against three now."

Lin Xuan gasped, and without further hesitation, frantically poured his magical power into the ancient scripture stele behind him.

Affected by this, the white stone tablet was writhing wildly with numerous silver spiky characters. The tablet itself seemed to melt, turning into a black, slimy skull with a pained expression.

"Evil?"

Li Mo was stunned for a moment. He was very familiar with this feeling, but upon closer inspection, it was different.

"No, this seems to be an evil spirit."

Since the Middle Ages, spirits have existed in the realm of mountains and seas.

According to the Misty Demon Clan, this is the order of heaven and earth in the Misty Realm, just like the ancient Golden Dot Script, only it is a different way of expressing the rules of the Misty Realm.

Humanity's research on spirits is still in its rudimentary stage.

The Misty Demon Clan undoubtedly has a deeper understanding of spirits. So-called evil spirits can be understood as spirits corrupted by evil spirits. The birth of some cults is often related to the worship of evil spirits. These spirits often have the characteristics of disturbing the mind, bloody sacrifices, and mass madness. Once they appear in the Mountain and Sea Realm, they will inevitably be accompanied by death.

Like a skull formed from black, viscous organic tissue, it swallowed the corpse of Dian Chang, who had been killed by Li Mo, from the lake surface.

"This is the flavor of the Mountain and Sea Realm."

The evil spirit was somewhat excited, seemingly filled with nostalgia and longing.

As Lin Xuan made a hand seal and pointed lightly, the skull rushed towards Li Mo's direction, seemingly intending to swallow him whole. Li Mo summoned the Heavenly Golden Sword and vanished in a flash. He felt a strange distortion and vaguely sensed an absurd and unreasonable aura.

"It can actually absorb the vital energy of the living."

The positive yang energy of the Tiancheng Huajin Sword has the property of warding off evil.

However, this evil spirit seems to be the nemesis of popularity, like a bottomless abyss.

Li Mo immediately shouted and poured all his magic power into it, finally allowing the Tiancheng Huajin Sword to break free from the giant skull's maw and retreat back to his side, circling around him.

In that short time, the Tiancheng Huajin Sword lost a significant amount of its spiritual energy, and it will probably take at least three to five months to recover.

This made Li Mo feel extremely distressed.

Now, in the midst of a life-or-death civil war, the damage to the flying sword's power will undoubtedly have a significant impact on his combat strength, while also filling him with curiosity about this evil spirit.

"Evil spirits exist in the form of cursed objects. They seem to be personified by evil spirits, just like... those things that come to life in a dream."

Thinking this to himself, and seeing the black skull open its mouth to devour him, Li Mo immediately activated two matrix puppets to attack the three of them, while he drew out his ice crystal feather fan and fanned it fiercely.

Rolling frost surged past.

The black skull opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of materialized, twisting silver tassels, transforming magic into the ordinary. The extreme cold frost instantly turned into rain and dew, evaporating and dissipating completely.

"This……"

After a moment of surprise, Li Mo revealed a strange and unsettling expression.

A flash of silver light appeared in his left eye, indicating that he had activated some of the mother runes in the Eye of the Dao. After a series of twists and turns, the pitch-black skeleton that had opened its mouth to devour the creature suddenly froze in mid-air. Then, it too transformed from magical to ordinary, turning back into a stone tablet.

This scene left Lin Xuan and the other two stunned and speechless.

Li Mo quickly stepped forward and put the stone tablet into his spatial ring.

"It seems that this stone tablet was most likely evidence obtained by the Heavenly Mandate Bureau after defeating a certain cult. It was later discovered by the Zhenfeng Pavilion to contain evil spirits. These evil spirits seem to represent the mysteries of the Silver Ink Script, and the Eye of the Dao has a natural restraining relationship with these evil spirits. We should study it carefully in the future."

After half an incense stick's time.

Apart from one of the commanders who used a secret technique to escape as a blur towards the main battlefield, the other two were defeated by the matrix puppets and sealed by Li Mo.

After expending most of his mana and activating two matrix puppets, it took him the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to finally eliminate all seven pursuers.

If it weren't for having high-grade spirit stones to replenish his mana, he probably wouldn't have been able to fight any longer and would have had to choose to retire.

After doing all this.

As Li Mo continued to recover his magical power, he looked down at the whirlpool in the lake below.

He had only wanted to see if he could catch a glimpse of his master, Lu Qi, but of course, he found nothing.

However, just as he was about to look away, he suddenly noticed a charred corpse floating quietly in the eddies of the lake.

Although the corpse was already unrecognizable, Li Mo's pupils still contracted sharply the moment he saw it.

"Lü Shun!!"

He reacted suddenly.

This corpse was one of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators he killed using the Six Calamities and Six Tribulations Extinction Dust Array in conjunction with the Six Ding and Six Jia Matrix Puppet.

This struck him like a thunderbolt, leaving him standing there dumbfounded, his mind completely blank.
