Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme-Chapter 1409 - 1375: True Face
Lin Mo understood in his heart that there were connections within Liu Yiyi's family. If she trespassed the Forbidden Land, she would inevitably face punishment, but at least she wouldn't be expelled from the Mystic Realm Sect. As for someone like him, with no 'backing,' if Yuan Qing wanted to 'target' him,
he would probably be directly expelled from the Mystical Realm.
Liu Yiyi expressed concern about Lin Mo being expelled from the Mystic Realm Sect because she had proposed this quest for the 'Fire Rat Divine Medicine' and invited Lin Mo to assist.
"They are still some distance away from us. Let's find the Fire Rat Divine Medicine's trail first." Lin Mo said, frowning. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Having reached this point, Liu Yiyi had no better approach. The only thing to do now was to capture the 'Fire Rat Divine Medicine' to make this trip to the forbidden zone worthwhile. "Over here..." Liu Yiyi suddenly turned towards the left and quickly flew away. Although she had not successfully sealed the Fire Rat Divine Medicine, Liu Yiyi had already left a spiritual mark on it. As long as the distance didn't exceed the sensing range of her spiritual power,
she could locate it.
After flying for about half an hour, Liu Yiyi sensed that the aura of the 'Fire Rat Divine Medicine' was growing stronger, indicating that it was getting closer to them.
"Senior Sister Liu, I have a bad feeling!"
As Liu Yiyi accelerated towards the position of the 'Fire Rat Divine Medicine,' Lin Mo suddenly frowned with a sword-like brow, feeling a premonition of danger. "No matter what danger awaits, with the Fire Rat Divine Medicine so close, I have to capture it." Liu Yiyi knitted her beautiful brows, her expression resolute. She couldn't give up at the crucial moment, having invested so much effort to capture the Fire Rat Divine Medicine.
Seeing Liu Yiyi's determination, Lin Mo knew he had no choice but to 'risk his life for a noble cause,' silently summoning four glazed bamboo swords to probe the way ahead. "I didn't expect you could control the glazed bamboo swords with your true essence..." Liu Yiyi saw the four emerald green lights probing ahead and showed a slightly surprised expression. It's known that releasing true essence from the body isn't hard, but controlling it with such 'flexibility' is
a very difficult task. Spiritual energy and true essence are two different types of energy. Spiritual energy can release powerful spells, but because it requires borrowing the spiritual energy in nature to unleash powerful spells, its speed is naturally much slower and contains many uncertainties.
True essence, however, is energy stored inside a martial artist's body, refined and merged through physical training, used with proficient ease, more solid and stable.
"Didn't you see me selecting cultivation techniques in the 'Cultivation Technique Pavilion' last time?"
Lin Mo said calmly. "Ancient Control Technique, can such a thing really be cultivated? It's been in the Cultivation Technique Pavilion for years, and no one has ever borrowed it." Liu Yiyi's brows furrowed even more. She had been choosing a sealing technique for the capture of the 'Fire Rat Divine Medicine' in the 'Cultivation Technique Pavilion' as well, and inadvertently saw the records when leaving, noting that Lin Mo had selected the Ancient Control Technique.
"Of course it can be cultivated." Lin Mo grinned, then focused his gaze forward without speaking again. Another half hour later, the two had gradually entered the second circle of the Spirit Ash Land. The forbidden zone was divided into three circles; the perimeter was relatively safer. The second circle could see encounters with Star Lake Level beasts.
As for the beasts within the third circle, their strength was unfathomable. Liu Yiyi and Lin Mo suddenly paused in their tracks, confronted with a towering peak, and halfway up the mountain was a dark, foreboding cave entrance. The cave mouth was three hundred meters long in diameter, like a giant black hole, devouring everything around it.
"The Fire Rat Divine Medicine should be in that cave. I've sensed the spiritual power I left on it!" Liu Yiyi's pretty face showed a gleam of excitement.
"However, there's something strange about this cave!" Lin Mo frowned, and just as he spoke, a deep and angry roar emanated from the cave. Immediately, an overwhelming suppression, as if a flood, poured forth, causing Liu Yiyi and Lin Mo, standing far from the cave,
to have drastic changes in their expressions.
"Star Lake Level beast!" Liu Yiyi exclaimed, opening her lips wide. As Liu Yiyi widened her eyes, a beast flew out from the cave with broad black wings, strong hooves, and three towering green crystal-like sharp horns on its head, each emitting a green halo, resembling a
winged pegasus. Its tail with sharp spiked corners swung upwards, surrounded by lightning, crackling loudly.
"Electric Light Arc Beast, Star Lake Level Early Stage Fierce Beast, adept at spiritual power and magic attacks..." Liu Yiyi's face turned pale with shock. She and Lin Mo were only at the Galaxy-level Beginner stage, facing a beast one entire realm superior, with little hope of victory, especially with the suppressive aura it emitted, causing them both
to feel the pressure surging around them like a tide.
Crackle... The Electric Light Arc Beast's tail arched high, its sharp tip concentrated with brilliant golden lightning, exuding a terrifying aura. Suddenly, the gathered lightning transformed into a golden stream of light, like branches, instantly striking towards Liu Yiyi.
Such speed was barely defensible even with anticipation. As Liu Yiyi stared wide-eyed, face pale, a silhouette suddenly stepped before her.
"Lin Mo..." Liu Yiyi shouted in shock.
Boom! Facing the lightning attack, Lin Mo's true essence condensed into a barrier, enveloping both Liu Yiyi and himself. The true essence radiated a startling coldness. In an instant, the lightning struck Lin Mo's chest, resonating with a thunderous sound, and the two were sent flying like
cut kites.
Bam! Accompanied by another loud crash, Lin Mo and Liu Yiyi crashed into the forest, snapping several large trees before coming to a halt. Simultaneously, Lin Mo's true essence shield scattered, the distance coursing through his body, numbing
Lin Mo completely, with a sweet sensation in his throat. But he swiftly suppressed it.
"The strength of a Star Lake Level Beast is indeed formidable..." Lin Mo revealed a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, given the disparity of a whole realm in power.
"Lin Mo, are you alright?" Coming back to her senses, Liu Yiyi quickly approached Lin Mo, her pretty face full of concern. During the crash and fall, she hadn't realized when her purple face veil had 'caught' and fallen off, revealing a face of stunning beauty.
Her slender eyebrows, snowy nose, and thin lips composed a breathtaking appearance. Yet, beneath her left cheek, there was a faint red blood mark appearing like a venomous snake, sporadically disrupting the beauty of her entire face.
The wonderful journey continues tomorrow.
