Chapter 1678: Chapter 1675: Young Master Mo
Seeing this earth-shattering strike by Black Mountain Tower, Young Master Mo’s sinister eyes narrowed slightly, a cold gleam shooting out from within them.
"Hmph, do you think this alone would make me fear you?"
Young Master Mo snorted angrily, and with a sudden motion, unfolded the Bone-breaking Fan in his hand. From it emerged scenes of mountains, rivers, lakes, sun, moon, and stars, each appearing one after another.
Black Mountain Tower wildly swung his copper rod, flattening mountains, breaking rivers, and shattering the sun and moon.
Yet in the very next moment, the flattened mountains reappeared, the dried-up rivers surged forth, and the sun, moon, and stars, shattered into fragments, once again condensed and took form.
Greatly astonished, Black Mountain Tower swung his copper rod horizontally once more.
However, no matter how many times he swept, the mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars reappeared every single time.
Until all the True Yuan in Black Mountain Tower’s body was gradually exhausted!
Seeing the moment was ripe, Young Master Mo’s lips curled into a cold, unwavering smile.
"Hmph, it’s over. Prepare to die!"
Before the words had fallen, he snapped the fan shut, and a black fog surged out from it.
These black fogs rolled in the air, like a myriad of ghosts, with fangs and claws, pouncing toward Black Mountain Tower.
Seeing the impending danger, Black Mountain Tower swung his terrifying copper rod with such force that it created a fierce wind, dispersing all these black mists.
But in the very next instant, his expression suddenly twisted, becoming incredibly ferocious, terrifying.
All the spectators were greatly shocked upon witnessing this scene.
No one among them knew what exactly was happening!
Li Chen’s pupils contracted slightly, a gleam of brilliance flashing from within them.
"I see now!"
Beside him, Long Ming, hearing Li Chen’s sudden exclamation, was instantly bewildered.
"Young Master, have you figured it out?"
Li Chen nodded nonchalantly and replied, "Hmm, he’s been invaded by lethal energy, his mind is in chaos, undoubtedly his doom is near!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Long Ming’s heart involuntarily skipped a beat, and looking at Young Master Mo, his gaze filled instantly with dread.
After all, that middle-aged man wielding the copper rod certainly wasn’t weak, at least not beneath Long Ming’s level.
And yet, such a formidable figure was so easily invaded by Young Master Mo’s lethal energy, unsettling his mind.
One could not help but feel fear when facing such an opponent.
Just as Li Chen said, the middle-aged man, invaded by lethal energy, lost his mind, and was effortlessly slain by Young Master Mo!
After slaying the middle-aged man, Young Master Mo wore an expression of great satisfaction.
As he stepped into the small world, intending to claim the Star Core within it, he suddenly saw a white-clad figure, like a flake of snow, drifting in an incredible arc to seize the Star Core ahead of him!
Seeing this, Young Master Mo was greatly enraged, his body transforming into a black streak of light, shooting forward like lightning to give chase.
"Xueji, doing such a thing isn’t following the rules, is it?"
The woman referred to as Xueji was the veiled woman who had locked eyes with Li Chen earlier.
At this moment, her face was still covered by the veil, showing no change in expression.
After a moment’s pause for thought, she coldly replied, "And when you, Young Master Mo, take others’ possessions, is that according to the rules?"
Young Master Mo was rendered speechless by Xueji’s blunt rebuttal.
His face turned red with fury, teeth gritting, he uttered "Fine" three times in sheer anger.
"Fine, fine, fine. No one has ever taken something from Young Master Mo’s hands. I want to see what abilities the Holy Daughter of Qianxue Hall has, to dare snatch food from me!"
His words, filled with killing intent, still echoed in the void, as dense black fog erupted from within him, rising straight to the Nine Heavens Cloud.
Seeing this, Xueji was equally unwilling to show weakness, and the Divine Sword in her hand moved like a Spiritual Snake, freezing the surrounding void.
The black fog was immediately frozen into solid ink by the ice, unable to flow any further.
Seeing his Secret Technique broken, Young Master Mo’s entire figure moved straight towards Xueji like a venomous snake.
Xueji was also very wary of Young Master Mo and his lethal energy, taking care not to engage him in close combat, she was forced to retreat continuously.
Seeing Xueji forced into retreat, Young Master Mo was overjoyed, pressing his advantage to defeat her in one go.
If he could inject lethal energy into her, then this Xueji would be at his mercy.
Then, wouldn’t it be up to him how he chooses to torment her?
Seeing Young Master Mo rushing menacingly, Xueji suddenly raised her arm, fair as lotus roots, unfurling a red ribbon from within it.
As soon as the red ribbon entered the void, a dazzling light erupted, binding Young Master Mo.
Seizing this opportunity, Xueji suddenly tossed the Star Core towards Li Chen’s direction.
Afterward, she glanced back at Li Chen with a smile, her entire figure turning into stardust and disappearing into the endless void.
Seeing Xueji had already escaped, Young Master Mo did not pursue but instead glared with sinister eyes, shouting furiously, "Hmph, Xueji, you’ll see, this isn’t finished yet!"
Then, he turned his gaze sharply to Li Chen, furiously shouting:
"Give me the Star Core!"
Instantly, everyone’s gaze was fixated on Li Chen.
How would he handle this?
Li Chen played with the Star Core in his hand, coldly saying, "Something that has already come into my hands, why should I give it to someone else?"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Young Master Mo felt as though his lungs were about to explode with anger.
Why did he keep meeting such oblivious people today?
Young Master Mo’s sinister eyes burned fiercely, angrily roaring:
"Fine, won’t give it, huh? If you’re so determined to court death, then I’ll grant your wish!"
Seeing Young Master Mo about to deal a killing blow at a word, Long Ming moved to step up and fight.
However, he was stopped by Li Chen.
"Stand aside and let me face Young Master Mo!"
Hearing this, Long Ming very sensibly stepped back.
The nearby spectators, seeing someone dare to snatch from Young Master Mo, couldn’t help but be greatly shocked.
"Who is that, daring to challenge the infamous Young Master Mo? They must have a death wish!"
"He looks unfamiliar; surely he isn’t some famous Heavenly Pride. If you ask me, he’s very likely to meet his end at Young Master Mo’s hands!"
Someone casually shared their opinion, most surrounding cultivators also greatly agreed with this view.
After all, it was Young Master Mo!
His lethal aura, sweeping all before him.
Even Saintess Xueji of Qianxue Hall was defeated by him, let alone this nameless youngster?
At that moment, everyone present looked at Li Chen with sympathetic eyes.
Some even sighed in regret for him...
