High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

A vast expanse of deep red Samadhi Fire surged towards those strange beasts.

The three strange beasts seemed extremely frightened and tried desperately to escape, but they couldn't escape at all and were directly burned to ashes by the Samadhi True Fire.

Then, a system notification came to Li Mo's ear.

"Ding! Congratulations on killing the Dark Beast! You have gained 2000 Devour Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations on killing the Dark Beast! You have gained 2000 Devour Points!"

Upon hearing this voice, Li Mo was immediately taken aback.

Because killing one of these strange beasts can actually provide him with a full two thousand Devour Points!

You should know that an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage beast would only give Li Mo about 100 Devour Points!

A so-called dark beast was actually twenty times stronger than an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage beast!

In reality, this dark beast is not very strong, only around the Foundation Establishment stage.

The fact that Zhao Yi and others were able to force it back shows that its basic strength and speed are at most around 2000 points.

Its strength stems primarily from the fact that physical attacks are ineffective against it, and it can also absorb lightning.

Li Mo estimated that most elemental attacks were useless against them; it just so happened that Li Mo's fire-type ability was effective against them.

Fortunately, although Li Mo used a large number of Devouring Points to evolve the Samadhi True Fire, he also benefited from the misfortune by killing three more Dark Beasts and obtaining 6,000 Devouring Points!

This back and forth is essentially the same as no change.

A man stood far away from this place, his eyes fixed intently on the direction Li Mo was in. If one looked closely, one would find that there were many strange beasts called Dark Beasts standing beside him.

He muttered to himself, "This guy's tough to kill! Even the dark beasts are useless against him. Oh well! Let's retreat! This is the capital of Great Xia; we can't be too conspicuous!"

As he spoke, the man prepared to turn around and leave.

However, at that moment, several martial artists from the Great Xia Dynasty suddenly appeared beside him.

"Friend, since you're here, why don't you come and have a seat at my capital garrison!"

The leading Xia warrior snorted coldly.

These people were the ones who received orders to secretly protect the Silent Whisper Squad.

The middle-aged man leading the group was quite powerful; he was Xiao Se, the current commander of the capital's garrison.

The Capital Garrison is one of the strongest forces guarding the capital, second only to the Imperial Guards of the capital.

To join the capital's garrison, one must be at least at the Blood Transformation Realm, and the people Xiao Se brought were all experts at the Three Harmony Realm or above.

Xiao Se himself is a powerful expert at the Four Symbols Realm.

This demonstrates the military's high level of concern for the safety of the Silent Squad.

In fact, they had planned to make a move the moment the dark beast appeared; if Li Mo hadn't shouted that, they would have already exposed their identities.

Fortunately, Li Mo dealt with the dark beast, which allowed them to follow the clues and find the person behind it all.

Facing these experts at the Three Harmony Realm and even the Four Symbols Realm, the person behind the control of the dark beasts did not seem afraid. Instead, he sneered.

"I knew this was a trap! Thank goodness I came!"

After speaking, the man's figure instantly turned into a shadow, disappearing without a trace along with the countless dark beasts he controlled.

If Li Mo knew what had happened here, he would probably be heartbroken. The devouring points that this dark beast could provide were extraordinary. It was one thing for this enemy warrior to escape, but in the end, he disappeared along with the dark beast!

Xiao Se watched helplessly as the enemy warrior vanished from the spot.

He sighed, "This person's talent is extraordinary; it should be a talent related to the dark attribute. None of us have a light attribute martial artist among us, so I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with him!"

"Damn it! Enemy warriors have entered the capital! And they even escaped right under our noses! If others find out, our capital garrison will be laughed out of the room!" One of Xiao Se's men cursed.

Xiao Se shook his head and said, "We can't say that. As long as the Silent Whisper Squad can guarantee their safety, then our mission is a success! Remember to be extra vigilant, especially Li Mo. Don't let anything happen to him! Even if a single hair falls from his head, Marshal Zhao will not forgive us!"

Hearing Xiao Se say this, the group regained their morale.

"Boss, you know what, Li Mo is really amazing! I've met quite a few geniuses along the way since I joined the capital garrison, but this is the first time I've seen someone like him! He's only at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet he managed to kill a dark beast! It's simply unbelievable!"

The members of the capital's garrison all praised Li Mo repeatedly.

Although Li Mo himself was unaware of everything that was happening here, he could roughly guess that the group protecting him must have been fighting with the group that was preparing to assassinate him.

The reason he faced the dark beast alone was to give those protecting him time to find out who was behind it all.

However, Li Mo did not expect that enemy warriors who could infiltrate the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty often possessed powerful special abilities, making them not so easy to catch.

Just then, Zhao Yi slowly walked over. At first, he actually looked down on Li Mo, but after witnessing Li Mo's strength firsthand, that look down turned into admiration.

"Brother Li Mo, you're incredibly skilled! I was so careless just now!"

"Brother, we can't thank you enough! You saved our lives. If you ever need anything from us, just let us know!"

Actually, saving them isn't necessary; these so-called dark beasts were originally targeting Li Mo.

But seeing Zhao Yi's forthright nature, Li Mo nodded and said, "It's nothing, no need for such a great favor. You just need to help me transfer the debts!"

"I will definitely do my best!"

Over time, the two became acquainted.

Seeing this, Li Mo asked Zhao Yi, "Zhao Yi, do you know what kind of strange beast attacked us just now?"

Li Mo had never seen a dark beast before, and there was no description of dark beasts in any books. But this strange beast was indeed extraordinary. Although it was not that powerful in terms of basic attributes, its strange characteristics were simply invincible!

If Li Mo hadn't evolved to the Samadhi True Fire, he would have been completely helpless against it!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi's expression hardened. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Brother Li Mo, you might not know anything about this if you ask others, but coincidentally, I do know a little. I have a deep-seated hatred for those beasts! They destroyed my hometown!"

Zhao Yi told Li Mo that the origin of this dark beast can be traced back to the cataclysmic crisis more than two hundred years ago!

Li Mo had also learned about that world-ending crisis from textbooks.

More than two hundred years ago, a strange alien creature suddenly descended upon Earth.

These alien creatures are indestructible by blades and fire, making them virtually invincible. Even the God of War can only barely restrict their movements, but cannot completely kill them.

The entire Earth has reached a dead end.

The human army suffered defeat after defeat, and the entire Great Xia was on the verge of falling.

Fortunately, Marshal Chen Han, with his extraordinary talent, transcended the realm of Martial God and single-handedly swept across the six directions, finally eliminating those strange alien creatures.

If Li Mo remembered correctly, those alien creatures were called Dark Ruins.
