Inside the room on the third floor.
The moment the Demonic Illusion Realm was broken, Li Mo regained his senses.
He had woken up, but he still felt mentally listless at this moment; the Extreme Divine Intention was not so easy to bear.
Yin Mianmian opposite him was clearly also quite shaken.
“Heh... your strange Yi Soul, you can’t use it, right?”
Yin Mianmian’s face was slightly pale.
But she still raised her hand and struck with a palm, ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) seemingly formless and powerless, silent and without a trace.
This move looked soft and weak, but it actually sealed all possible escape routes for Li Mo.
Formless Entangling Silk Hand.
This unique skill had clearly reached the Transcendent Realm!
Her figure was like a ghost.
She came incredibly fast.
Even Prodigies outside the top ten of the Qianlong Ranking would likely find it difficult to withstand this bizarre and unpredictable palm strike.
Li Mo’s mind was calm, the Forty was right in his hand, and the seven Mystic Cores in his Dantian instantly began to spin violently.
He did not retreat but advanced instead.
The starry pestle was raised.
Within the World Seed, the stars arranged in a seven-star formation shone brightly!
The small hammer was ferociously powerful, containing the potential to split heaven and earth, as if it would make this entire sky collapse.
Boom—
The Qi was violent but incredibly condensed, not leaking out in the slightest.
This was because Li Mo’s mastery of Hammer Technique had reached the Transcendent Realm, not wasting a single bit of its power.
Yin Mianmian’s eyes suddenly widened.
Her figure drifted like falling leaves in a strong wind.
Crackling—
A Demonic phantom on her body exploded into black smoke and dispersed, followed by two, three, four, five phantoms, layers of illusions exploding and then vanishing like dream bubbles.
Rakshasa Shadow.
This was the first move of a Supreme martial art-level movement technique.
It was also the reason she was able to survive this hammer strike.
This was also why she could even contend with an Outer Scenery practitioner for a while; an Inner Scenery practitioner was simply helpless against her.
“The top ten of the Qianlong Ranking... none of them are easy to deal with.”
“Even if my Yi Soul has some restraint over her...”
Li Mo held the hammer, calculating how many more strikes he could unleash.
“Three Guan Shen Apertures, and you can force me to use my full power.”
“Outside the top ten of the Qianlong Ranking, you are the first.”
Finally, her Guan Shen Nine Apertures aura, without any suppression, poured out, no longer concealing the aura within the room.
Her figure seemed boneless, dancing and intertwining with the long ribbon.
It seemed... she intended to wrap Xiao Li into a zongzi and take him away.
Li Mo instantly activated the Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body.
Click—
A gentle breeze blew, opening the door.
....
Just now.
Tang Xiaobao had finished his bath.
He was holding a bucket of bathwater, preparing to go up to the third floor, when he suddenly paused.
At the doorway, he saw a familiar figure.
“Junior Sister Bing?”
Tang Xiaobao’s eyes widened, somewhat unable to comprehend.
Why was there another Junior Sister Bing? freeweɓnovel.cøm
Then he saw Heavenly Frost unsheathed, and a streak of sword light suddenly flared.
Ethereal and pure, like an immortal shadow flying from the moon, unavoidable, soaring into the sky in an instant.
Rip—
The long ribbon filling the room was pierced by the sword light, unable to block it in the slightest.
This was an unavoidable sword strike.
Ding—
Sparks flew.
It was the sound of a dagger colliding with Heavenly Frost.
Yin Mianmian’s body took a bizarre sharp turn, suddenly retreating explosively, crashing through the window.
“Li Mo... I will come back for you...”
Her voice seemed to come from the netherworld.
With a few flashes, she melted into the night.
“I think she’s more suited to be a flying thief.”
Li Mo didn’t feel much disappointment.
Just now, he had already fought against one of the strongest Prodigies in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
To be fair.
If both sides had no restrictions or scruples, even with the World Seed’s power, he couldn’t take down the opponent.
In a head-on clash, he would naturally crush her, but Yin Mianmian’s strength was clearly her speed.
Even a certain bald man has mosquitoes he can’t swat, right?
At this moment, the sound of a sword being sheathed came from beside him.
Li Mo turned his head and saw Ying Bing’s clothes clinging to her body in the night wind, seemingly damp with water vapor, her hair also sticking to her pale neck, her breathing slightly disordered.
“Didn’t you go to accept a challenge?”
“Mm.”
Ying Bing realized something was wrong when she reached the center of Fish Dragon Lake.
Baili Rang had not come alone; rather than a sparring match, it seemed more like he wanted to delay her.
When she recognized the Rain Listening Pavilion’s methods from him, she instantly realized something was amiss.
“Then why did you come back so quickly?”
Li Mo was a little puzzled.
Ying Bing’s gaze returned from the two steamed buns on the ground, and she glanced at him:
“I didn’t hold back.”
What kind of matter required her to be lured away?
There was only one possibility.
Yin Mianmian’s Demonic Illusion, most skilled at disguise and bewitchment, was something she had experienced before.
On the way back, her emotions had been churning, and her usually calm mind was filled with all sorts of strange thoughts.
Guan Shen Ninth Realm’s sixth-ranked Qianlong, even in a one-on-one fight, she wasn’t completely confident now.
When she returned, would Li Mo already be gone?
Or... when she returned, would she see his cold body...
The more she thought, the more serious it became.
She even experienced the taste of fear for the first time.
Now, seeing the young man standing before her completely unharmed, she finally felt as if she had stepped back from the clouds onto solid ground...
“...Didn’t hold back.”
Li Mo could probably guess the fate of those people.
If it was just accepting a challenge, the Ice Cube would absolutely not have neglected even her clothes being damp with water vapor...
“Why did Yin Mianmian say she would come back for you just now?”
Ying Bing’s gaze was calm as she looked at him.
Li Mo recounted what had just happened: “She disguised herself as you. I thought it was you who had come, but then I realized something was wrong...”
He roughly explained what had just transpired.
“How did you find out?”
Ying Bing seemed a little puzzled.
“...”
Li Mo hadn’t used the Tianming Divine Eye just now.
He had already sensed something was off before the System prompted him.
After thinking carefully, Li Mo said:
“She was only similar, but ultimately, she wasn’t you.”
Ying Bing’s eyelashes trembled slightly.
Her already unsettled breathing seemed... even more chaotic?
Looking at the young man’s serious expression.
The seed planted within the solid ice, at some unknown time, seemed... to have sprouted tender shoots again, breaking through a crack...
“You’ve worked hard.”
“You sit down first.”
Li Mo suddenly became serious.
He noticed that not only was the Ice Cube’s breathing erratic, and her ears red, but her heart rate was also slightly elevated. freēwebnovel.com
That’s right, she had just sent assassins, including Qianlong Ranking Prodigies, to meet Yama, and she had also fought with Yin Mianmian; it was impossible for her to be completely fine.
Ying Bing looked up, puzzled.
She sat on the still-intact massage chair.
Noticing Li Mo’s gaze appraising her.
Ying Bing pressed her legs together, crossed her arms over her chest, and her expression quickly cooled.
“What... are you doing?”
“Looking for Acupoints.”
“Hm?”
“That’s right, it’s a newly improved massage martial art, for customers in the future. Congratulations on getting the first-hand experience.”
“No need...”
“Trying it won’t make you lose a piece of flesh. You even helped me scrub my back last time.”
Li Mo figured this should also count as an investment.
....
In the corner of the wall outside the VIP room.
“I shouldn’t have come!”
“I thought this kid was in trouble and came to check, and this is what I get to see?”
“Let’s go, let’s go, damn it, I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
The three Qingyuan Sect Elders grumbled and went about their own business.
