The road is vague

Chapter 234 First Glimpse of Talent (Thirteen)
Li Mo naturally knew that he was not cultivating both body and soul.

Without wasting words, the Heavenly Golden Sword in his hand was like a melee weapon. With the continuous infusion of violent lightning spiritual power, it was as if he were wielding the Heavenly Tribulation of Thunder. With his lightning-fast figure, he slashed down from the sky.

As Chen Kaixuan swiftly dodged, he made a hand seal and let out a loud shout.

After his attack missed, Li Mo was about to use his super-fast movement speed to attack Chen Kaixuan from behind when he suddenly sensed danger.

He tried to stop and dodge, but it was too late.

A pitch-black metal cage emerged from nothingness, silently trapping Li Mo inside.

This is a true spatial artifact.

At this moment, the metal cage exists between reality and nothingness, displaying a semi-transparent color. It covers the surrounding area of ​​several dozen feet and, as it moves closer to reality, its size is rapidly shrinking, seemingly trying to completely suppress Li Mo within it.

Having had a similar experience, Li Mo's expression immediately changed. He quickly rushed forward and unleashed a powerful attack with the Tiancheng Huajin Sword in hand.

A loud metallic clang was heard.

Li Mo was thrown back by the force of the impact, retreating within the cage.

However, this octagonal demon-suppressing cage artifact also seemed to have suffered some damage, temporarily ceasing its contraction, and its spiritual light flickered erratically.

"Humph!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Kaixuan's expression changed drastically, and he let out a ferocious snort.

After all, he was at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage and had activated the Cursed Half-Life Technique, making his magical power terrifying. He immediately used his superior cultivation level to circulate his magical power and gently pointed at the Octagonal Demon Suppressing Cage. This top-grade spatial artifact immediately flashed with spiritual light and continued to compress and shrink.

Chen Kaixuan had already discerned Li Mo's true cultivation level; he was indeed only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and was still quite a distance from the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. It was only due to his profound foundation that his basic mana was higher than that of others of the same level, and he seemed to have some talent in his physique. In addition, with the explosion of his secret technique, he had formed his current terrifying strength.

As long as it can be suppressed for a short period of time and the stage of the secret technique's outbreak can be delayed, it will inevitably enter a period of weakness!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…

Li Mo, inside the octagonal demon-suppressing cage, naturally sensed Chen Kaixuan's intentions. He began to frantically bombard the surrounding black metal cage. Each metal collision created a scene of spiritual energy dissipating, but neither side was willing to admit defeat, and they continued to increase their efforts by sending more and more magical power.

Then they saw the pitch-black metal cage flickering and shrinking between light and shadow, but after shrinking to a space of seven or eight zhang, it could no longer shrink.

Li Mo transformed into a dazzling bolt of lightning, flashing wildly within the dark cage and relentlessly bombarding it.

He had a similar experience when he was taking the final exam in his second year at the advanced training hall. He was suppressed by Jiang Sheng with a porcelain bowl magic weapon, but was eventually violently destroyed by Lei Wu's ultimate transformation technique. Now he is preparing to do the same.

Thanks to the improved adaptability of the "Li Mo Nei Jing", his Thunderous Transformation Technique now lasts for a much longer time than before.

Chen Kaixuan stared at the thunderous figure that was constantly darting left and right inside the octagonal demon-suppressing cage.

He couldn't help but gasp, his eyelids twitching wildly.

"This monster."

Seeing that the Octagonal Demon-Suppressing Cage was about to have its spirituality destroyed by the other party, he gritted his teeth and shouted. The black lotus phantom above his head, which was constantly emitting a faint light, flashed and disappeared, appearing above the Octagonal Demon-Suppressing Cage and casting a faint light once again.

influenced by.

The power of the Octagonal Demon-Suppressing Cage had become significantly stronger. No matter how much Li Mo struggled within it, the Octagonal Demon-Suppressing Cage showed no signs of backlash. However, it could no longer continue to shrink and suppress, and a delicate balance was formed between the two sides.

Now it all comes down to which side can hold out longer.

Just as Chen Kaixuan was thinking this, he suddenly felt a darkness above his head.

He looked up.

Lava poured down from the sky like a torrential downpour, obscuring the sun and distorting the air as it enveloped him.

Chen Kaixuan then suddenly remembered that the other party was actually a puppeteer.

So he quickly gritted his teeth and used the Yin-Yang Shield to block above his head.

As lava rained down, the nearby lake water immediately began to boil.

Only the lava rain above Chen Kaixuan's head was blocked by the Yin-Yang Shield. He looked at the Six Calamities and Six Tribulations Matrix Puppet dozens of feet away, his expression somewhat grim.

While such magical power is nothing compared to the battle at the bottom of the lake—the mere aftershocks caused the entire lake to churn and form a massive whirlpool—it is still quite extraordinary for a Foundation Establishment cultivator. It is enough to destroy a small house in an instant, falling into the category of a powerful mid-to-high-level spell.

Then he suddenly remembered something and paused for a moment.

"No, he clearly had two puppets before!"

Suddenly.

A colossal creature, two zhang tall, appeared silently behind Chen Kaixuan. Before he could react, the Six Ding Six Jia Matrix Puppet suddenly unleashed a punch aimed directly at Chen Kaixuan's back.

Chen Kaixuan was shocked, but it was too late to defend himself.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the necklace on his chest suddenly flashed with light and passively formed a protective shield of emerald green light. Although it was suddenly shattered by the puppet's punch, it still blocked a lot of the power.

As this simple, unadorned punch landed on Chen Kaixuan, he was sent flying dozens of feet away, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, clearly suffering a serious injury.

Chen Kaixuan followed closely behind, but dared not delay for a moment. Despite his severe injuries, he gritted his teeth and continued to pour magical power into the octagonal demon-suppressing cage.

In just this brief delay, the octagonal demon-suppressing cage, which was originally seven or eight zhang long, instantly expanded to more than ten zhang long, and was almost violently smashed to pieces by Li Mo.

At this time.

The Six Ding Six Jia Matrix Puppet followed him like a shadow, unleashing another punch. Although blocked by the Yin-Yang Shield, Chen Kaixuan couldn't help but groan, his magical energy momentarily interrupted. But the more he felt this way, the less he dared to release Li Mo.

"Isn't he an outer disciple? How can he possess such terrifying strength?"

At this moment, Chen Kaixuan's arrogance was completely shattered. He suddenly thought of a possibility and felt a cold sweat break out.

That means the seven cultivators he had previously sent out were likely all dead.

He asked himself.

If it were him, facing seven Foundation Establishment cultivators at the same time, while survival wouldn't be a problem, and with good luck he might even be able to kill one or two, killing all seven at once would be exhausting, even if it meant wearing them down.

Seeing the Six Calamities and Six Disasters Matrix Puppet that had just finished casting its spell rushing towards him, Chen Kaixuan's face turned extremely ugly. He could only take out some talismans from his storage bag to deal with it temporarily.

One low-level talisman after another transformed into various spells and shot out, temporarily blocking the ever-approaching matrix puppet.

This can only provide temporary relief.

"Both puppets possess at least the strength of the late Foundation Establishment stage, and due to their thick skin and tough flesh, they are even stronger than ordinary late Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. Even among the disciples of the Lü family, who are most skilled in puppetry, apart from the two Golden Core Hall Masters, the only one who can refine puppets of this level is probably Lü Bin of the Dharma Protector Hall."

Compared to the others who knew nothing about Li Mo, Chen Kaixuan knew a little about him because he had a quarrel with Li Mo when he attended Tao Ran's wedding.

But as far as he knew.

At that time, this person was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Even though he had some reputation in the Outer Sect Special Service Hall, such a cultivation level was not worth mentioning in his eyes. Therefore, he did not take him seriously and regarded him as an unknown nobody with considerable potential.

Compared to this person, Jiang Feiyan attracted his attention more, as she was a true elite core member of the Justice Society.

His magical power was rapidly depleting, and the talisman in his hand was gradually exhausted.

After the battles at the Law Enforcement Hall and Qinglongtan Fang Qiong, Chen Kaixuan's magical power was reduced to only about 60%. He wanted to try to use a secret technique to absorb Li Mo's spiritual energy, but he failed due to the violent energy within Li Mo's body.

If he continues to exert himself like this, he won't be able to hold on for much longer.

"Where on earth did this freak come from?"

Suddenly.

A voice emerged from beneath Chen Kaixuan's feet.

After a brief moment of shock, he was overjoyed.

It turned out to be Tong Yuan, who used the Shadow Technique to arrive here silently.

This person was the closed-door disciple of the Yuan Shen Pavilion Master. Forty years ago, he was secretly recruited to the Road Guiding Division as an undercover agent. He then served as an elite assassin of the First Seven Days Organization and was stationed in the territory of Lu State for a long time.

To outsiders, the First Seven Days Organization is one of the secret forces under the jurisdiction of the Road Guide.

But for those in the know, the organization responsible for the first seven days after death is the Daqian Kingdom's Road Guidance Bureau, and Chen Kaixuan naturally has some understanding of this.

"So, how confident are you in assassinating this traitor?"

"That depends on his condition. In this state, even I have no chance to make a move. If he becomes weak after using his secret technique, and with your restraint, there's about a 50% chance."

Upon hearing this, Chen Kaixuan's expression changed.

"Why is there only a 50% chance?"

"Hehe, even if it's a Foundation Establishment disciple from another sect, no matter how strong they are, there will always be times when they are weak and careless. If I take advantage of their weakness, there will naturally be more than a 50% chance of success. But don't forget, the Spirit Eye Technique of our Spirit Eye Sect disciples has a natural counter to my stealth assassination technique. I just happened to feel a kind of pressure from this person. Once I get close to him, he will definitely see through me."

Chen Kaixuan did not believe that the other party was exaggerating.

It should be noted that the other party had a glorious record of successfully assassinating two Foundation Establishment stage disciples within the territory of Lu, both of which were fatal with a single blow, leaving no trace for anyone to investigate.

"A 50% chance is not small!"

After responding, Chen Kaixuan gritted his teeth and looked at the two matrix puppets. Just as he was thinking about how to hold them off, he saw two more people flying in from the main battlefield in the distance.

The male cultivator was born hairless, with jet-black skin, double pupils in his eyes, thick lips, and held a large flag in his hand.

The woman had long, jet-black hair, snow-white skin, a gentle expression, and a beautiful appearance. A long, flowing ribbon of green silk hung beside her.

"Zheng Kui, Jiang Caiqian!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Kaixuan was overjoyed.

Not to mention that both of them are at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Zheng Kui was almost the designated successor to the position of Xing Dianchang within the Zhenfeng Pavilion.

He will take over Chen Kaixuan's position once Chen Kaixuan advances to the Golden Core stage and goes to the Dharma Protector Hall.

Zheng Kui was born with double pupils and spiritual eyes, and was hailed as the most suitable disciple of the Spirit Eye Sect to cultivate the "True Spirit Eye".

Jiang Caiqian is the daughter of Jiang Wencai, the deputy head of the Dharma Protector Hall. Although she is unusually low-key, Chen Kaixuan knows that she is known as a Beast Tamer by the Foundation Establishment disciples in the sect.

This person is quite wealthy.

She usually used almost all the spirit stones she earned from refining weapons to improve her cultivation and raise spirit beasts. With long-term persistence, she actually made a name for herself in this field and her strength was extremely impressive.
