DONG –
The flying beast traveled in the air, when suddenly, the whole beast cart stopped and shook violently.
Chen Mo, who had been studying the Wild Fist inside the beast cart, couldn't help but be awakened by the sudden stop and shake. He frowned and looked at Fan Banxia beside him.
Fan Banxia raised an eyebrow and said coldly: "What happened".
At this moment, the deputy general who was driving spoke up: "Your Highness, Princess, someone has blocked our path."
"Hmm?"
Fan Banxia's eyebrows twitched and then he pulled up the curtain. In the void, three figures were standing, all in a black armor.
Upon closer inspection, there were actually bull horns on their armor, which looked somewhat similar to Fan Banxia's armor.
Under the helmet, a pair of crimson eyes were revealed, with a cross-shaped pupil that shone brightly but was filled with killing intent.
"Who is this person, daring to block my path?"
Fan Banxia furrowed his brow and said seriously.
Her gaze soon noticed that the armor of the three men was similar to the one she was wearing, so she couldn't help but look at it several more times.
"Those guys…"
Chen Mo's expression changed slightly.
Fan Banxia immediately added: "They are not humans. They emit the aura of beasts, but I don't know why I feel somewhat familiar with them…"
"Perhaps..."
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, and his gaze quickly turned to the distance, which was the direction of Donglin Country's capital. It wasn't far away, and with his status as a third-tier cultivator, he could reach it quickly.
"The Easternlin Country is in trouble"
Chen Mo murmured softly.
"The capital city is important, but these three people…"
Fan Banxia pondered for a moment, his eyes filled with hesitation.
"I'll handle these three, you go help at the capital first. I'll come later."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Fan Banxia to answer and immediately stepped out of the beast cart. With the surprised gaze of the deputy general, he stepped into the three people's presence, standing on empty space.
"Chen Mo, you'll take care of this place."
Fan Banxia signaled to the deputy general to drive the beast cart, then cast a glance at Chen Mo, "Be careful with everything."
Chen Mo nodded softly, then turned to look at the three people in front of him. He saw that their minds were not on him, and as the beast cart left, they turned to chase after it.
Seeing this, Chen Mo immediately summoned the giant sword, and in an instant, a bloody sword qi shot out, blocking the way of the three people.
"Rascals, to dare block our way, you're simply..."
The leader of the group opened his mouth to curse, but before he could finish speaking, when he turned to see Chen Mo's giant sword, he immediately froze, his eyes staring at Chen Mo intently without blinking.
"You, where did you get the sword in your hand?"
The leader's pupils contracted, and his voice suddenly turned cold.
Chen Mo didn't respond, but raised his sword and pointed at the three people, "Where did you come from, why are you here, answer me."
"The rascals, I'm talking to you."
The leader looked somewhat displeased, obviously irritated by Chen Mo's refusal to answer him.
"I'm also asking you guys."
Chen Mo's expression was serious.
Words that don't match don't require more than half a sentence, and without any further words, the three men looked at each other.
"Arrogant little brat, since you won't say, we'll beat you into saying it."
After speaking, the three men simultaneously struck out, combining their forces to attack Chen Mo abruptly.
The three men's attack style was very similar to Fan Banxia's, relying on their powerful physical bodies to collide head-on with Chen Mo.
Even facing Chen Mo's terrifying sword qi, the three men showed no signs of retreating.
However, the three men still underestimated Chen Mo's strength. A single strike later, two of them were severely injured by Chen Mo and fell to the ground from high altitude.
The remaining man was the one who had been boasting so fiercely just a moment ago. He glanced left and right at his two fallen underlings, and upon seeing them defeated by Chen Mo, he became furiously embarrassed.
"Rascal, I didn't expect you to have some actual skills. However, if you think that you can defeat me by doing that, then you greatly underestimate me."
The man spoke with a severe tone.
Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh coldly, "Then you can give it a try."
"Do you think I'm not brave enough?"
After speaking, his eyes suddenly became colder, though he verbally insulted Chen Mo, deep inside, he was very wary of Chen Mo's power, as he could have severely injured two of his subordinates with just one sword strike.
This person is undoubtedly formidable, and we cannot charge in recklessly. We should seize the opportunity and strategize to win.
Chen Mo's swordplay was simple and fierce, coming in like a wave. It was like a stick moving straight ahead, and the person saw this, immediately becoming overjoyed.
Just as he dodged Chen Mo's strike, he seized the opportunity and, before Chen Mo could react, raised his fist and heavily hit Chen Mo from behind...
Easternlin Country, the capital city
"The Imperial Advisor is truly a divine being. Such a powerful beast could be stopped by him."
"Ha ha, the Imperial Advisor is an existence that matches the revered Princess, with him by our side, we are assured of peace."
"Ah, just a while ago, we were worried about what to do if the beast attacked. But it turns out the Imperial Advisor is so powerful. What do we need to worry about? We just need to cheer him on from behind."
...
With the Imperial Advisor of Easternlin Country, Ling Shuang, striking out, the worries about the capital being in danger and their own lives being at stake disappeared. The literati and military officials gathered in the imperial palace felt renewed confidence.
Standing at the palace gate, the crowd watched the two in battle in the sky, their shouts of encouragement and cheers echoing continuously.
In the void, the Imperial Advisor Ling Shuang fighting the beast in the capital city had gained more confidence.
He looked at the beast that had been driven away by him and unconsciously raised his lips. Now, it was the perfect opportunity for him to build his reputation and career.
"There are indeed many strong individuals among the human race, but that's all. We're both third-tier cultivators; do you really think you can defeat me?"
However, within just a moment, the beast that had been driven back came charging back, and this time, it seemed even more formidable.
The beast waved its hand, and the blood color in the sky darkened.
"This beast..."
Ling Shuang had a bad feeling in his heart, but below him, the Easternlin Country's literati and officials, as well as the ruler of Easternlin Country, were watching. If he retreated, it would be a shame for him to do so.
Thinking of this, Ling Shuang, with a hardened face, struck out three palms, each palm containing all his strength. A single palm might not be enough to kill someone of the same realm.
But if all three palms landed, no one at the same level would survive.
Fortunately, his three palms landed directly on the beast's body.
The beast retreated once again, spewing blood mist into the air, adding more crimson to the already red sky.
However, Ling Shuang was not joyful; instead, he felt a mix of gravity, concern, and fear.
Because, when his three palms landed, the beast didn't die; instead, it charged towards him, striking him with a heavy punch.
"Not good"
Ling Shuang was shocked and immediately retreated, but it was too late.
"I have already taken your three palms, now it's your turn. I wonder if you can take my punches."
The beast snorted coldly and struck a punch. In an instant, Ling Shuang fell from the air, as if a meteor had fallen.
Boom
In an instant, the capital city exploded, turning into a sea of ruins within a few miles.
Ling Shuang lay amidst the ruins, gasping for breath, his face without a hint of color, as if he would die at any moment.
Seeing this, the crowd who had cheered and encouraged Ling Shuang just moments ago was no longer dare to speak, everyone closed their mouths, not daring to utter a word.
The beast smiled coldly, and its form descended, standing only about one hundred zhang away from Ling Shuang.
Thud-thud—
The beast stepped forward one by one, and Ling Shuang's heart immediately jumped to his throat. The intense desire for survival made him struggle to stand up, inching his way slowly towards the distance.
"You can't escape. I said, I took your three palms, now it's your turn. How can you already be defeated after just one punch? Ha, humans are indeed fragile."
The beast raised its hand to deliver the second punch.
At this moment, with his heart like a dead ashes, Ling Shuang happened to glance at the black figure by accident, who was dressed in armor and had come forward - it was Feng Banxia.
"Please, Princess, save me."
