"Bad"
Seeing Chen Mo's deadly strike, Qi Dashan felt something was wrong in his heart. He had a bad feeling that if he fell prey to this move, he would surely die.
At this thought, Qi Dashan's face changed dramatically, and he stepped back continuously, trying to dodge Chen Mo's move.
However, Chen Mo's speed was faster than his.
But in a blink of an eye, Chen Mo's attack suddenly came to his side. It was only a split second before he could take his head off.
However, at this critical moment, a dark figure, as if a ghost, dived down from the open sky.
Qi Dashan immediately smiled, "Master?"
At this moment, Chen Mo also sensed the emergence of Miao Wu. The original intention to strike Qi Dashan's sword abruptly changed its direction and lunged towards the sky, aimed at Miao Wu who dived down from above.
Miao Wu is at least a first-grade master. Even Chen Mo's full-force attack failed to injure him.
As the sword was being launched, Miao Wu raised his hand and easily dispatched it with a palm strike. Then, his figure dived downwards, grabbing Chen Mo's neck with one hand and colliding with the ground forcefully.
Boom
The ground of the mountain prison cracked instantly, revealing a hole that extended diagonally downwards like a deep chasm, out of Tai Yan Mountain and into the midst of an unknown forest.
"Puff"
Chen Mo's body flew out heavily, spewing out blood mist that stained the surrounding area red.
"How, how could this..."
Chen Mo immediately widened his eyes, full of confusion as he looked at Miao Wu standing at a distance from him, with a arrogant expression on his face.
At this moment, Chen Mo was filled with confusion. Just now, Zhao Hu had clearly made a move to restrain Miao Wu.
Although Zhao Hu is only a second-grade expert, with a gap of one realm between him and a first-grade expert like Miao Wu, Zhao Hu's strength is extremely strong, and he often defeats even ordinary first-grade experts with his mad fighting style.
As was the case with the Huoyun Respected One who had fought against them earlier, he was killed by Zhao Hu.
Although the Huoyun Respected One was certainly no match for Miao Wu, with Zhao Hu's strength, it wouldn't be a difficult task to hold him off for a while.
"Ha, do you think that just because there are more of you?"
Miao Wu seemed to see through Chen Mo's thoughts and smiled, "This place is under the jurisdiction of my punishment. When it comes to numbers, you're far from being our match."
Just as Miao Wu finished speaking, a fierce battle could be heard in the sky. The forest shook violently, and the entire Tai Yan mountain began to shake violently, as if an earthquake were happening.
Chen Mo looked up at the sky and saw Zhao Hu, wielding an ancient and primitive broadsword, fiercely battling enemies. Around him were numerous powerful foes, roughly about ten in number, all of whom possessed strength at the second-grade level.
The Heavenly Punishment is one of the strongest forces under Zhang Tianlin, with most of its members ranking between second and third grade.
To find high-level experts to deal with Zhao Hu, it would be child's play. Moreover, they received Zhang Tianlin's order a few weeks ago, instructing all the high-level members of the Heavenly Punishment to return from their duties abroad.
At this moment, the Heavenly Punishment is at its peak, with high-level experts abounding.
"Ha, your strength has indeed surprised me. But to kill you, I don't even need to lift a finger."
Miao Wu flicked his foot and landed on a leaf of a tall tree, staring at Chen Mo with a mocking expression.
But in a blink of an eye, dark shadows appeared heavily in Tai Yan Mountain, with wave after wave of figures rushing towards Miao Wu like the tide.
These are all experts from the Heavenly Punishment.
"Master"
The crowd's voice was loud, bowing respectfully to Miao Wu on the tree branch, then alertly staring at Chen Mo with a pair of eyes fixedly. They were like beasts.
Their eyes were filled with longing.
Earlier, Zhang Tianlin had issued a command to kill Chen Mo. Almost everyone in the Heavenly Punishment had seen Chen Mo's portrait and remembered the appearance of the person whom their master had specifically ordered to be killed.
Everyone wants to establish their merit at this moment.
As you all have guessed, the man before you is Chen Mo. Kill him, and you will receive the master's generous reward. And naturally, I won't let you down either.
Miao Wu smiled and continued, "However, this guy is very strong. Although he is only a fourth-level physical body, no one within the third level can match him. Just now, your third boss almost fell into his hands."
Miao Wu previously thought that Chen Mo's survival was due to his sharp tongue and protection from others.
But after the battle just now, he has also realized the strength of his opponent and found that it is not as simple as he had thought.
Now, he doesn't intend to underestimate this opponent and is taking it seriously.
Hearing Miao Wu's words, everyone was startled. Their third boss, Qi Dashan, had already reached the second-grade realm and was not an ordinary second-grade expert. He was a top second-grade expert. Although he had not yet reached the strength of half a first-grade realm, it was rare to find an opponent within the second grade.
If he couldn't even defeat Qi Dashan, then many of them would likely not survive under his hand.
Thinking of this, many people started to lose their confidence.
Miao Wu naturally noticed the doubts in the hearts of the crowd and smiled, "Don't worry. Three-grade experts don't need to fight with him. There are a few mice left in the prison, and three-grade experts go to clear up the battlefield. The rest of the second-grade, stay and fight with me."
As Miao Wu spoke, the three-grade experts who had already learned of Chen Mo's prowess all nodded. Although they also wanted to earn the master's reward, compared to these rewards, their lives were more important.
Hearing Miao Wu's instructions, they all rushed towards the mountain in the back.
The remaining second-grade experts had a few more, although not many, all of them were elite.
With Miao Wu, a first-grade expert, added to the mix, they could easily sweep away the majority of the power in all eight states except for Zhongzhou.
Chen Mo tightly grasped his giant sword in his right hand, staring fixedly at the crowd in front of him, without revealing a trace of panic in his eyes.
"Indeed, you have some courage. Facing such an array of forces, you can still remain so composed. You truly live up to the title of Dao An."
Miao Wu laughed coldly.
"Miao Wu, we have fought each other so many times. Shouldn't you understand my character by now?"
Chen Mo replied with a smile.
Miao Wu's smile froze on his face. What do you mean by that?
"Do you think I would dare to come to your Heavenly Punishment stronghold without any preparations?"
"Preparation?"
Miao Wu raised his eyes, looked around, and began to investigate again. He is quite cautious, otherwise, he wouldn't have never allowed his true form to appear.
Just because, he's afraid of death.
However, after the investigation, he didn't find anything unusual.
"Are you trying to bluff me?"
Miao Wu furrowed his brow, thinking, but then his face suddenly changed as he detected a presence not far from the foot of Tai Yan mountain.
Three-grade
"It's just..."
Miao Wu was slightly relieved, but then he detected even more presences.
And second-grade as well……
