The road is vague

Chapter 302 Unstoppable (Part 1)

After Li Mo left the secret room where the Lingmu Sect disciples exchanged information, he immediately went to the Contracts Department.

Several people are queuing up to register here.

While waiting in line, Li Mo looked at the many rewards from the military. As Jiang Caiqian had said, they were indeed incredibly generous, and there were even many secret techniques and skills that could help with Core Formation.

After observing carefully for a moment, his gaze settled on two of the objects.

"Azure Sun Thunder, Earth-Shaking Talisman".

The Azure Sun Thunder is a one-time use item developed by the military, similar to the Heavenly Thunder Spear. It can pose a certain threat to Golden Core cultivators and a great threat to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Jiang Caiqian escaped from a true disciple of the Undying Mountain in Lu State by relying on three Azure Sun Thunders.

The Earth-Shaking Talisman is a mid-to-high-level talisman that can create small-area earthquakes, destroying surface buildings, underground caves, and preventing earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape through earth), etc.

Furthermore, because a large amount of extremely magnetic ore is buried beneath the One Line Sky, the Earth-Shaking Talisman is amplified in power here, making it the ultimate life-saving method that all Foundation Establishment bounty hunters desire to obtain.

However, the amount of military merit required to exchange these two items from the military is quite high.

Li Mo himself didn't need these two items.

However, he learned from previous exchanges that the cultivators from the Qian Kingdom who participated in the hunt also had similar life-saving items, so he needed to be a little careful about them. In addition, he couldn't help but wonder if he could try to refine a few Earth-Shaking Talismans, whether for sale here or as a precaution, they would be incredibly useful.

Lost in thought, Li Mo finally got to register in line.

The person in charge of registration in the contract department was a young female cultivator, accompanied by an assistant who remained silent throughout.

"Hello, place of origin, sect, identity, name."

Li Mo took out his disciple's badge, which caused a slight gasp from the registration staff and a commotion among the people queuing behind him. The registration staff then handed Li Mo's badge back with both hands.

"Hello, this is your identification badge for joining the Contracts Department."

Li Mo glanced down at the black waist tag.

In addition to its own identity information, it also has spiritual light properties, which facilitates communication with the military's communication talismans and location searching on the array plate. It is also engraved with eight large characters: "Be vigilant and protect the Qian Kingdom," as well as a Ding-rank evaluation.

The four-tiered evaluation system, consisting of A, B, C, and D, originated in the State of Lu and was later adopted by the military of the State of Qian.

The higher the rank of a bounty hunter, the better the treatment they receive from the military. They can enjoy discounts on military merits when redeeming rewards. After becoming a Rank A bounty hunter, they can even make some special requests to the military for military merits, which will be collected by the military. They can also leave the military at any time.

However, the military merit required to become a Class A bounty hunter is quite substantial. Since the two countries began their confrontation here, only a dozen or so people have achieved this, most of whom are true disciples of their respective sects.

the next day.

At midnight, the mist over the narrow passage gradually rose.

Thousands of bounty hunters gradually emerged from the rest room, their faces grave as they headed towards the narrow passage.

The vast majority of them were at the Qi Refining stage, with Foundation Establishment stage cultivators making up only about 10%.

Some people traveled in groups, discussing their plans in hushed tones; some traveled alone, full of confidence; some passed by in a flash, quickly disappearing into the fog; and some moved forward steadily, acting with prudence.

These bounty hunters are like poisonous insects that venture out to hunt as the fog thickens.

Most of them simply set a trap and then waited quietly, perhaps ultimately reaping nothing, until after several days, they finally caught the reckless one.

Many people choose to take the initiative and eventually reap rewards, or become prey for others.

Li Mo was inconspicuous in the crowd. He did not rush to leave, but instead looked at the military formation and various mechanisms.

Dense arrays of spiritual light shot into the sky from all directions, emanating bursts of spiritual pressure, dispelling the fog in the darkness, and illuminating the sky.

This formation was mostly designed by a master of formations and set up by multiple formation masters. Its power is comparable to the mountain-protecting formation on Qingming Mountain.

Besides.

As Li Mo continued forward and left the range of the great formation, he was surprised to find more than a dozen towers shrouded in spiritual light.

These spirit towers are about thirty feet tall, with a bulge on top. A spiritual light swirls around the top, constantly circling and emanating an undisguised and terrifying pressure. It can also effectively break through various escape techniques and disguises.

"Is this the Spirit Light Tower developed by the Divine Mechanism Sect?"

Li Mo had heard people talk about the Lingguang Tower many times at the Lingmumen exchange meetings.

It is said that the Shenji Sect once planned to build a Lingguang Tower deep within the Yixiantian (a narrow passage between two cliffs), sparing no expense.

Unfortunately, every midnight, the cultivators of Lu would launch a series of attacks, and in the end, not only was the Spirit Light Tower not completed, but the Divine Mechanism Sect also lost many disciples and had no choice but to give up.

As Li Mo continued to move forward.

gradually.

The surrounding mist swallowed him up, and his figure quickly disappeared into the swirling fog.

Seemingly due to the underground geomagnetic minerals, Li Mo could clearly feel the constraint of the mist on his divine sense. He could only barely perceive a distance of about ten feet. Fortunately, although his True Spirit Eye could not see the details as usual, he could see the poisonous snakes and insects hidden in the mist further away, forming some red spots moving against the gray-white background.

After getting used to it a little, Li Mo leaped up and flew away on his sword in mid-air.

The narrow passage stretches for hundreds of miles, and the fog can only last for three or four hours. He must seize the time to take the initiative, instead of setting traps like most people and waiting for someone to walk into the trap.

The mountains on both sides of the narrow passage are three to four hundred feet high, and there are arch-like geological structures along the way that restrict the spread of the mist.

In the higher altitude areas not shrouded in mist, Golden Core cultivators from both sides would occasionally patrol in their magical artifacts, their divine senses constantly monitoring and scanning the area.

Once someone leaves the area of ​​the First Line of Heaven's mist, or fails to return to their own territory before the mist dissipates, they will almost certainly die if they encounter an enemy Golden Core cultivator.

After flying forward for thirty or forty miles in one breath, Li Mo gradually became more cautious.

Using his spiritual eye technique, he could see people stopping along the way, cautiously setting up ambushes. Some of them sensed him, glanced at the sky, and seeing that Li Mo continued forward without stopping, muttered to themselves, "Where did this newbie come from, so eager to die?"

Whether Li Mo was lucky or unlucky is unknown.

They flew all the way to the vicinity of the Lingguang Tower ruins that the Shenji Sect had planned to build. This was the central area representing the One Line Sky, where they finally encountered the Lu Kingdom cultivators.

The two seemed to have been there for some time and were talking in hushed tones.

When the two saw Li Mo swaggering towards them, they were startled. They immediately summoned their magical artifacts and cautiously looked around. When they realized that Li Mo was alone, they couldn't help but exchange a glance.

"Where are you two looking?"

Li Mo saw through his spiritual eye that the two of them were only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and couldn't help but chuckle.

One of the two men had a mustache and wore a white robe with a rare wooden sword floating in front of him; the other was bald, wore a black robe, and had a nine-ringed broadsword floating in front of him. They both looked at Li Mo.

"Where did this greenhorn come from?"

"Hmph, you're so arrogant. Rather than letting someone else benefit, it's better for us two brothers to do so. To die by our hands would be quite a victory for you..."

Before the man who had wielded the nine-ringed broadsword could finish speaking, Li Mo's figure suddenly vanished in a flash of lightning.

"Lightning Release Technique!?"

Upon seeing this, the person who brandished the nine-ringed broadsword realized that Li Mo was no pushover. He dared to swagger here alone, proving that he was indeed quite capable.

The other person who brandished the flying wooden sword changed his expression.

He vaguely sensed Li Mo's late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation and was about to warn his companion when he saw Li Mo appear behind him with a flash of lightning. The dark golden light disappeared in an instant. After confronting the Nine-Ringed Greatsword head-on, Li Mo's figure transformed into lightning again and appeared behind the man with incredible speed, casually firing the Zha Nian Thunder Spear.

boom!
Amidst the deafening roar of thunder, the man fled in a sorry state. Only after being rescued by his companions did he look at Li Mo with a terrified expression.

Many new shoots have sprouted from the wounds on his body.

"Such speed! What kind of technique is this?"

He had already realized that Li Mo could transform into a lightning body at any time, gaining incredible speed, and that the power of that flying sword was also extraordinary.

grunt.

The mustachioed cultivator who had summoned the flying wooden sword was also shocked. He swallowed hard, then slowly shook his head, his face extremely pale.

"Looks like we've met our match this time."

As he spoke, he and his bald companion activated their Tree Spirit bodies, transforming into tree-human forms, with boundless vitality surging from their bodies.

"So you two were originally disciples of the Natural Sect."

After a cold laugh, Li Mo showed no intention of holding back.

As Tiancheng Huajin Sword continued its attack, his body once again transformed into invisible lightning, appearing behind the half-transformed treant. Giving the opponent no time to react, his lightning-filled palm pierced through the treant's chest before the bark had covered his back.

The bald monk looked down at his chest, a look of disbelief and despair in his eyes.

"Thunder in Palm?"

Countless tree branches shot towards Li Mo, but Li Mo's body once again transformed into lightning, shattering into pieces and disappearing.

After many branches missed their mark, Li Mo reassembled in mid-air.

puff!
The tree spirit's body rapidly degenerated.

Even though the bald man still had many tricks up his sleeve, it was too late to turn the tide.

After kneeling on one knee, he vomited a large amount of blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs. With veins bulging on his forehead, he looked at his mustachioed companion and shouted as hard as he could, the sound almost squeezed out of his throat.

"Run away."

The man with the mustache, who had fully awakened his tree spirit body, had greatly enhanced his physical strength and vitality, but his agility and speed had decreased accordingly.

Having witnessed Li Mo's unpredictable and supernatural abilities, he was terrified and would never be foolish enough to dispel the tree spirit's body again.

He immediately roared and summoned four tree spirits, each accompanied by a wood spirit orb, in an attempt to fight to the death.

Li Mo stretched out his right hand, and five bolts of lightning surged forth, merging into one and descending from the sky.

The Five Thunder Dust Transformation Technique flashed by, and one of the tree-men was instantly transformed into dust from top to bottom.

Li Mo thus gained many insights into the Wood Spirit Orb, and nodded to himself with a slight smile, looking very satisfied.

"What kind of magical power is this?"

The mustachioed cultivator who had activated his Wood Spirit Body had eyes wide with rage, and was also somewhat surprised and uncertain.

"You're a member of the Thunderclap Cult!"

After much thought, he concluded that only the people of the Thunderclap Sect in Tianyuan Highlands could have such astonishing thunder techniques attached to their main cultivation method.

A silver lightning bolt surged from the Flying Wood Sword, heading straight for Li Mo, but it was blocked by the Five Elements Xuanwu Shield and dissipated into a sky full of lightning.

Li Mo looked at the clumsy, fleeing giant tree-man, and immediately transformed into lightning to give chase.

It only takes a short while.

After a thunderous roar from the depths of the fog, followed by desperate screams, silence quickly returned.
