NOVEL NEXT Chapter 410
Chapter 410: The First Injury in Three Thousand Years
Li Mo let out a cold snort, his sword energy flashing through the air, slicing the Skeleton Blood Seal and saving dozens of soldiers.
“Let’s see how many you can save!”
The Chiyou Demon Spirit began to move its left hand.
Rubble and sand from the ground floated into the air.
It was the Yin-Yang School’s Wood Division ultimate technique, Myriad Leaf Flying Flower Technique.
Every blade of grass and every tree can harm a person.
Let alone these hard stones!
The Chiyou Demon Spirit shot arrows left and right, aiming to make Li Mo struggle to handle both ends and expose a flaw.
It was convinced that he alone couldn’t save so many people!
In fact, even with his incredible speed, Li Mo would absolutely be at his wits’ end under these circumstances.
To resolve this crisis, there was only one way.
Rescue Zhao by besieging Wei!
Li Mo gripped the Shark Tooth Sword, pouring all his strength into it, and hurled it toward the Chiyou Demon Spirit!
The sword was charged with surging “power into the void” energy, trembling from its overwhelming speed and force,
Leaving trails of turbulence in the air!
Wei Zhuang’s pupils shrank in shock. “Hundred Steps Flying Sword?”
The Hundred Steps Flying Sword was one of their Ghost Valley’s ultimate techniques.
In today’s world, only two people could wield it.
One was his senior brother, Gai Nie.
The other was their master, the Master of Ghost Valley!
Each generation of Ghost Valley disciples had only two: one learned horizontal sword techniques, the other vertical sword techniques.
He was the one who learned the horizontal sword techniques.
The earlier displayed “Crossing Eight Directions” was the ultimate move of the horizontal sword techniques.
And “Hundred Steps Flying Sword” was the ultimate skill of the vertical sword techniques.
Seeing Li Mo, a non-Ghost Valley person, execute the “Hundred Steps Flying Sword,” how could Wei Zhuang not be astonished?
His immediate reaction was that Gai Nie had revealed Ghost Valley’s ultimate techniques to him.
But then he reconsidered—it didn’t add up.
Gai Nie valued their school’s heritage even more; even if Ying Zheng himself ordered it, he wouldn’t reveal it.
Moreover, given Li Mo’s character, he wouldn’t be the type to force Gai Nie to teach him Ghost Valley’s techniques.
Besides, with Li Mo’s monstrous talent, did he even need to learn Ghost Valley’s skills?
He casually destroyed the supposedly indestructible War Demon God. Ghost Valley’s ultimate techniques couldn’t do that!
“It’s not the Hundred Steps Flying Sword.”
In an instant, Wei Zhuang figured it out.
What Li Mo was using, while looking similar to the Hundred Steps Flying Sword, had a fundamental difference.
In the Hundred Steps Flying Sword, the sword moves with the person.
Wherever the person goes, the sword will appear.
But Li Mo’s sword was different.
In this strike, the sword had completely detached from his control, becoming an independent weapon of attack.
While it was extremely deadly, it brought a downside.
Once the sword was let go, it wouldn’t easily return to him.
And this could lead to the chance of being disarmed.
For a swordsman, losing their sword was equivalent to losing most of the battle.
Wei Zhuang couldn’t wrap his head around why Li Mo would take such a risk.
Wasn’t he worried about the sword being taken by the Chiyou Demon Spirit?
As he watched the Chiyou Demon Spirit use both hands to grab the long sword, blocking the strike, the sword trembled and buzzed between its palms,
Wei Zhuang suddenly realized.
No wonder Li Mo would recklessly use this move.
Because… that was his sword!
Wei Zhuang’s mouth twitched twice in disbelief, nearly breaking down.
Damn it, throwing someone else’s sword around—no wonder he didn’t care!
“Thinking you could hurt me like this is a bit too naive.”
The Chiyou Demon Spirit clasped its hands together, firmly pinning the incoming Shark Tooth Sword.
Though the sword carried an unstoppable momentum, it could hardly advance an inch within its grasp.
At this moment, the Shark Tooth Sword wriggled like a fish desperately struggling in someone’s hands.
It wanted to escape but couldn’t; it could only thrash wildly, emitting a buzzing noise.
Li Mo’s expression remained unchanged as he slowly replied, “Oh really?”
His original intention wasn’t to injure the Chiyou Demon Spirit.
It was just a casual throw; had it been able to harm the opponent, the Chiyou Demon Spirit would have been eliminated long ago!
He merely hoped to disrupt its casting to buy time for the others to evacuate.
But seeing the Chiyou Demon Spirit overconfidently grab the sword, Li Mo suddenly had other ideas.
“If the sword can’t hurt you, then how about this?”
With this, he summoned the energy within.
Before the Chiyou Demon Spirit understood what he meant, it suddenly felt a sharp pain in its hands.
A burnt smell wafted through as it felt the flesh sear.
“Hmm?”
It quickly flicked the sword away, startled and surprised to open its hands….
Its palms were a bloody mess!
“What… how is this possible?”
The Chiyou Demon Spirit gawked in disbelief at its hands.
Since escaping from that battle years ago, it hadn’t been injured for three thousand years.
Even facing the pursuit of a magic sword, it had managed to retreat unscathed.
Yet now, it was wounded by this earthly weapon!
“It’s you… you did this!”
The Chiyou Demon Spirit glared viciously at Li Mo.
This earthly weapon was naturally incapable of hurting it; the only possibility was Li Mo’s interference, having tampered with the sword.
“Just as I thought.”
Li Mo narrowed his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.
Indeed, it had been his doing.
Though the Shark Tooth Sword had slipped from his hands, it still contained the energy he had infused.
By simply directing that energy and using the Thunder Technique to unleash it, he could cause harm.
Although the Chiyou Demon Spirit possessed Donghuang Taiyi’s body, it wasn’t like those ordinary wandering souls; it could ignore the pressure of national luck.
However, it couldn’t overlook the pure Yang energy of lightning!
For it struck at its very foundation!
Just like with Bai Xianwu, despite not having a soul, the thunderous force could disperse her Yin Qi!
The Chiyou Demon Spirit was inherently a malicious entity, unlike Li who had a complete soul.
Donghuang Taiyi, the living dead, was also a shadowy entity.
Even now as they merged, they had not become a true living being!
Previously, Li Mo had risked a near-freezing fate just to help Bai Xianwu dissolve her Yin Qi so that she could perfectly merge with her body.
Understanding this, Li Mo’s confidence soared.
What was once a guess, he could now assure through practice—it indeed worked!
“Fei Yan, Moon Goddess, take them and evacuate!”
Li Mo steadied himself, glancing at Wei Zhuang who was reclaiming his Shark Tooth Sword, and instructed the two women beside him.
The Moon Goddess hesitated, asking, “What about you?”
Li Mo turned to face the fuming Chiyou Demon Spirit.
“As for me? I naturally need to make it understand that the times have changed!”
