How did Chen Mo find this place?
As Zhou Li pursued, he quickly recalled the events of tonight in his mind.
From leaving the city to reaching West Desolate Mountain, there were no traces left along the way.
At the entrance of the mine pit, there was a five-layer array interlocked intricately. Stepping wrongly would cause a chain reaction, and only he and Jue Mi knew how to break it.
"Jue Mi couldn’t possibly have betrayed me... Could Chen Mo be an Array Master who easily deciphered the array? How could this be possible?"
Zhou Li was bewildered.
Regardless, he must be stopped!
He flew up the stone steps, reaching the entrance of the cave, just as he was about to step out of the stone gate—
An extremely dazzling Sword Qi tore through the night!
Feeling the overpowering Sword Qi, Zhou Li’s pupils contracted as he tried to dodge to the side.
Suddenly, a radiant glow surrounded him, making his movements sluggish as if caught in a mire.
Unable to dodge, he could only raise his sword to block in haste.
The weapon in his hand was forcibly cut apart!
In a critical moment, Zhou Li forcibly twisted his body, and the sword that was initially aimed at his neck slashed onto his shoulder instead.
Blood splattered, penetrating deep into the bone!
He reacted swiftly as well, tensing his muscles to trap the sword, gathering True Yuan in his palm, and struck forward forcefully!
However, Chen Mo had no intention of engaging in a life-and-death fight. With a successful hit, he immediately withdrew, his figure drifting, landing two paces away.
The horizontal sword in his hand pointed to the ground, its jade-like blade tinged with two inches of crimson.
The sword didn’t retain blood, as it trickled down the blade, gathering at the tip, and dripped onto the barren grass.
Fear gripped Zhou Li’s heart.
*This slash was so terrifying. If the weapon hadn’t blocked most of the force, his entire arm might have been chopped off!*
Looking at the strange stones arranged around, his expression stiffened.
*In just a few breaths, revealing and using the array for himself, what kind of terrifying skill is this!*
"You know array techniques too?!"
Just as Chen Mo prepared to slash a second time, a muffled sound echoed from inside the cave.
A dark shadow shot out like lightning.
She looked disheveled, with one of her wings broken, Black Ice Armor covered in cracks, and her skin faintly blue-black.
Behind her, a gray fog swept like a hurricane, emitting piercing howls.
Lin Jingzhu flashed to Chen Mo’s side, her face pale, her voice hurried, "Quick, give me another drop of that stuff!"
Chen Mo squeezed out a drop of Vitality Essence from his fingertips, and Lin Jingzhu immediately sucked his finger into her mouth, vigorously absorbing it, causing the blue-black color on her body to quickly fade away.
After forcing out the Demon Energy from her body, her cheeks regained their color. She glared at Chen Mo angrily.
"Mr. Chen sure runs fast!"
He escaped alone, leaving her to fend off the Demon Creature!
*How despicable, truly heartless!*
Chen Paopao said frankly, "Your shell is so tough, you wouldn’t die bearing the brunt for a while. If I hadn’t come out early to set up the array and trap one first, it would be impossible to win two against two."
The cave entrance had ready materials. With minor modifications, it could be used for his purpose.
The reason for letting Lin Jingzhu stay behind was to buy time for setting up the array, turning passivity into initiative.
Looking at Zhou Li, whose half body was red, trapped in place, Lin Jingzhu knew he was telling the truth, her expression softened slightly.
"But you should have informed me first, I wasn’t mentally prepared at all."
"The situation was urgent, what if you were unwilling?"
Gray fog swirled, forming into a humanoid shape.
Zhou Li clutched his shoulder, shouting, "Attack quickly, don’t let them get away!"
Jue Mi’s eyes were deep, lips parted slightly, "Don’t worry, two Sixth-rank Martial Artists won’t cause any waves."
"Lin Bu, you handle the Demoness, I’ll deal with the other one!"
Chen Mo’s Shattered Jade rang out, Azure Dragon Saber Intent slashing down from the sky!
Jue Mi waved her sleeves, and the gray fog surged, only to be scattered in an instant by the fierce wind!
The roar was deafening!
Jue Mi’s mind trembled, momentarily losing focus.
The azure dragon seemed alive, its abyss-like mouth wide open, swallowing her whole!
*He knew her methods better than anyone, yet Chen Mo managed to overpower her?*
"Stop looking, I’m your opponent."
Lin Jingzhu swallowed a Golden Core, replenishing her True Yuan, leaping forward with the Black Gold Long Stick aiming straight at Zhou Li’s throat!
Below West Desolate Mountain.
Chu Zhuo stood on a branch, gazing at the dense sea of trees.
As requested by Young Master Zhou, he had been tailing Chen Mo closely during this period.
But Chen Mo showed no concern for the case, with the deadline approaching, yet still appearing carefree.
*The more indifferent he seemed, the more Chu Zhuo found it odd.*
*Intent on restoring his image in Young Master Zhou’s eyes, he was determined to catch Chen Mo’s slip-up, enduring sleepless nights while spying from the shadows.*
With a Grandmaster in Chen Mansion, Chu Zhuo dared not get too close, hiding in Yongning Tower at the city’s east, overlooking Chen Mansion with a telescope.
Tonight, he indeed noticed something strange!
He followed Chen Mo out of the city, tracking to West Desolate Mountain.
The mountain range was vast, the trees lush, covering the sky, making it impossible to see any trace...
At that moment, a light sparkled in the distance, accompanied by faint roars and clashing metal sounds.
Chu Zhuo flew like a hawk, quickly reaching the mountain’s hollow.
He saw four people fighting ahead.
One was Chen Mo, and the other was Lady Lin from the Lin Family.
As for the opponents, it was an extremely alluring woman, along with the Guard Commander following Young Master Zhou that day!
*Judging by the deadly moves executed by both sides, they were clearly engaged in a life-and-death battle!*
