Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world
Chapter 34 Defeating the Dragon Guard Commander
"Are all the people from the Dragon King's Palace brain-dead?"
The cold words exploded in the chilly wind of the desolate wilderness, carrying undisguised mockery and disdain.
The wild grass rustled in the wind, and the branches of the trees in the distance stretched out their claws in the dim light, adding to the desolate atmosphere.
The Dragon Guard Commander's tense face instantly turned bright red, and veins bulged on his forehead.
He held the barely breathing Xiao Chen in his arms, his back mostly soaked in Xiao Chen's blood. The dark red bloodstains had congealed into hard scabs on his coarse cloth outfit, a shocking sight.
Hearing Mo Yu's unbridled insults, his anger erupted like a volcano. His fists clenched so tightly that the knuckles turned white, and even wisps of true energy seeped out from between his fingers, slightly distorting the surrounding air.
But Mo Yu seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. A playful smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes were full of contempt. He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, and his black outfit made him look even more agile. The sword at his waist was not drawn, and he was fearless with just his two bare hands.
"You've already held a grudge, and you still dare to tell me to stop? What do you mean by 'it's a fight to the death'?" Mo Yu sneered, his tone even more sarcastic. "What? You expect me to just stand here obediently and let you hold a grudge, waiting for this little punk to recover from his injuries and improve his strength before coming back to seek revenge? What kind of utterly ridiculous and brain-dead idea is that?"
He took a step forward, the gravel beneath his feet crunching under his feet. A sharp aura slowly emanated from his body, pressing down on the surrounding weeds.
The true energy at the peak of the mid-stage of the Innate Realm was like a lurking beast, stirring restlessly in his meridians, ready to devour anyone at any moment.
"Who do you think you are?" Mo Yu's eyes turned cold, and his tone suddenly sharpened. "Oh, you're from the Dragon King's Palace, but so what? Even if you're from the Dragon King's Palace, you have no right to speak such arrogant words in front of me, Mo Yu!"
The Dragon Guard Commander trembled with rage, his throat bobbing as he was about to retort when Mo Yu's resounding words rang out again: "A fight to the death? I'd like to see just how capable your Dragon King Palace really is, and what you can do to me, Mo Yu!"
Before he could finish speaking, Mo Yu had already lost interest in arguing. He was not one to procrastinate, and now that he had broken ties with the Dragon King Palace, there was no need to leave any room for maneuver.
With a sudden burst of energy, he leaped forward like an arrow, his inner energy surging and transforming into sharp bursts of energy that aimed directly at the Dragon Guard Commander and Xiao Chen. His dark figure blurred through the grass, leaving an afterimage, his speed astonishing.
The Dragon Guard Commander felt a chill run down his spine, not daring to be careless in the slightest. At this moment, he was still holding the seriously injured Xiao Chen in his arms, which restricted his movements, so he naturally dared not underestimate his enemy.
"You're asking for death!" The Dragon Guard Commander roared. To avoid the aftershocks of the fight injuring Xiao Chen in his arms, he had no choice but to put him on the grass and take the initiative to meet him.
He stomped his left foot hard on the ground, his body spinning like a top, and at the same time, his true energy, which was at the peak of the late stage of the Innate Realm, burst out without reservation, forming a thick wall of energy in front of him.
With his palms flying, his moves were wide and powerful, carrying an unparalleled might. It was the Dragon King Palace's martial art, "Dragon Suppressing Palm." The wind from his palms howled, swirling the surrounding fallen leaves and pebbles into a flurry of motion.
"Bang—"
The two palms collided, and a muffled thud echoed through the desolate wilderness. Mo Yu felt a powerful force rush towards him, his arm went slightly numb, and he involuntarily took two steps back before regaining his balance.
The Dragon Guard Commander was also in bad shape; his arms trembled slightly, and he took two steps back to release the force.
He glanced down at Xiao Chen, whose breath was weak, and frowned even more. He thought to himself: This kid's strength far exceeds my cultivation level. My late-stage peak innate true energy couldn't suppress him. Instead, it made my blood and qi surge. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid I'll be in danger.
Mo Yu rubbed his numb arm, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, which was then replaced by intense fighting spirit.
The Dragon Guard Commander's strength was indeed formidable, befitting a peak late-stage Innate Realm expert. If it were an ordinary mid-stage Innate Realm martial artist, their meridians would probably have been injured by this palm strike.
But Mo Yu was a veteran of countless battles, having crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood; this kind of impact was not enough to make him back down.
"That's interesting." Mo Yu grinned, revealing a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes. "Again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped into the air again, his body drawing a graceful arc in the air. He clenched his fists, poured his true energy into them, and a faint golden halo appeared on his fists.
The fist sliced through the air with a sharp whistling sound, like a whirlwind passing by, aiming straight for the Dragon Guard Commander's face.
The Dragon Guard Commander dared not be negligent. He took a deep breath and pushed his internal energy to its limit once again. He raised his hands to meet the attack. Dense blue energy emanated from his palms, and his palm strikes changed, becoming even more powerful. He slammed his fist against Mo Yu's fist.
"clang--"
Their fists and palms collided again, this time producing a metallic clang. A violent shockwave emanated from the point of their clash, spreading outwards and uprooting the surrounding weeds, sending pebbles flying.
Mo Yu flipped in the air and landed steadily. The force of the impact created a shallow crack in the ground beneath his feet. The Dragon Guard Commander took three steps back, each step leaving a deep footprint in the ground, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn it!" The Dragon Guard Commander wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his heart filled with shock. He hadn't expected that even with his best efforts, he would still be at a disadvantage.
The opponent's combat strength was too strange. Although his realm was lower than his own, he could unleash power far exceeding that of someone of the same realm in every exchange. His moves were also tricky and ruthless, with each strike aimed at his weaknesses. If it weren't for his solid foundation and rich experience, he would probably have been injured long ago.
Mo Yu glanced at the bloodstains at the corner of the Dragon Guard Commander's mouth, a knowing glint in his eyes. He knew that his advantage was gradually becoming apparent.
Although the Dragon Guard Commander was of a higher realm and had more profound true energy, my own combat skills and the refinement of true energy were superior. If the fight continued for a long time, the opponent would inevitably reveal more flaws due to excessive consumption of true energy.
In fact, Mo Yu also had his own considerations. The Dragon King Palace was indeed powerful and had a deep foundation. Compared with the Killing God Palace that he had created, it was like heaven and earth.
The Dragon King Palace has been passed down for generations and has a history of over a hundred years. It is full of experts. In contrast, the Killing God Palace was built from scratch and has a very shallow foundation.
The strongest in the Killing God Palace is Mo Yu himself, while the Dragon King Palace is merely the protector of the new Dragon King, who is already a peak late-stage Innate Realm expert. No one can guarantee whether there are any top-tier experts in the Celestial Realm hidden within the Dragon King Palace.
If he were overseas, Mo Yu might still be wary of the Dragon King Palace, but this was within the Dragon Kingdom, and he had absolutely no fear.
Although the strongest member of the Mo family behind him was only at the peak of the Innate Realm and could not compete with the Celestial Realm experts, he knew a formidable person who could rival the Celestial Realm experts—Luo Lingtian.
Thinking of Luo Lingtian, Mo Yu felt more confident. Although Luo Lingtian was now a Dan Jin expert, which corresponded to the innate realm of ancient martial artists, his combat power far exceeded that of ordinary peak innate martial artists, and he could even contend with experts in the Heavenly Human Realm.
More importantly, Mo Yu knew that Luo Lingtian was about to break through to the Gang Jin realm, which corresponds to the Celestial Realm of ancient martial artists.
He had never seen a Celestial Realm expert before, and he was not sure if Luo Lingtian could truly defeat a Celestial Realm warrior, but as long as Luo Lingtian successfully broke through, he would definitely be able to steadily suppress a Celestial Realm expert.
With Luo Lingtian's connection, Mo Yu naturally has nothing to fear from the Dragon King Palace. Moreover, even without Luo Lingtian's backing, he would not easily compromise.
Mo Yu's achievements today, reaching the peak of the mid-stage of the Innate Realm and establishing the Killing God Palace, were not due to humble compromises, but rather to countless battles on the brink of life and death, fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Even if he really offended the Dragon King's Palace, he could simply lie low for the time being, cultivate diligently behind closed doors, and wait until he was strong enough before coming out to take revenge one by one.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the Dragon King Palace truly has a Celestial Realm expert!
As the thought flashed through his mind, Mo Yu's attacks became even more ferocious. His figure moved around the Dragon Guard Commander like a ghost, and he kept striking out with his palms. His true energy turned into sharp palm winds, attacking the Dragon Guard Commander from all angles.
The palm strikes whistled, completely blocking the Dragon Guard Commander's retreat routes, forcing him to defend passively.
The Dragon Guard Commander grew increasingly anxious, watching Xiao Chen's breath grow weaker and weaker. If the delay continued, his life might be in danger.
Moreover, after exchanging blows with Mo Yu for dozens of rounds, he had thoroughly grasped the opponent's strength. Mo Yu's combat power was in no way inferior to his own. If the fight continued, he would inevitably fall into a disadvantageous position and ultimately be unable to escape defeat.
"We can't go on like this!" The Dragon Guard Commander made a silent decision. "As long as we're alive, we can always fight again. Let's retreat for now and wait until Xiao Chen recovers before joining forces with the experts in the palace to take revenge."
Having made up his mind, the Dragon Guard Commander stopped fighting and began to secretly look for an opportunity to break out. While struggling to withstand Mo Yu's fierce attacks, he kept an eye on his surroundings.
"Drink!" The Dragon Guard Commander suddenly roared, forcefully mobilizing most of the remaining true energy in his body, and struck out with both palms at the same time. His palm strikes became exceptionally fierce, temporarily forcing Mo Yu back.
Taking advantage of the moment when Mo Yu retreated, he came to Xiao Chen's side, picked him up, and suddenly pushed off with his feet, rushing towards a dense forest not far away like an arrow.
He knew that as long as he entered the dense forest and used the complex terrain for cover, he could slow down Mo Yu's pursuit and thus escape successfully.
Seeing this, a fierce glint flashed in Mo Yu's eyes: "Trying to leave? Not so easy!"
He immediately gave chase, his figure as fast as lightning. However, the Dragon Guard Commander had already exerted all his strength to escape, and his speed was much faster than before. Moreover, he had planned his escape route in advance, specifically choosing places with complex terrain.
Although Mo Yu was fast, it was not easy for him to catch up with his opponent in a short time.
The Dragon Guard Commander carried Xiao Chen as they weaved through the trees, occasionally throwing out smoke bombs to obstruct Mo Yu's vision. The smoke spread, obscuring Mo Yu's view, and by the time it dissipated, the Dragon Guard Commander's figure had already disappeared into the depths of the dense forest, leaving only a few blurry afterimages.
Mo Yu chased the enemy to the edge of the dense forest and stopped. He frowned, looking at the intricate paths in the forest, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.
"Hmph, you gotta run fast!" Mo Yu snorted coldly, his tone tinged with resentment.
Mo Yu stood at the edge of the dense forest, feeling the slight surging of true energy within his body. He breathed heavily for a few moments. The fight just now was extremely intense, and his internal energy and blood were in turmoil, so he still suffered some injuries.
Gazing in the direction the Dragon Guard commander had fled, a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Dragon King Palace, Xiao Chen, I, Mo Yu, will remember this. Next time we meet, you won't get away so easily!"
He turned and slowly left the desolate wilderness, leaving behind only the messy traces of the fight and the lingering smell of blood in the air.
