Whoosh~
Whoosh~
A spear user went for Li Mo’s eyes but his weapon vanished.
A fist user punched Li Mo, but his fist was gone right before it could touch Li Mo.
Countless attacks came at Li Mo but they disappeared.
The spear user withdrew and the spear reappeared, the same happening with the fist user.
They were speechless.
Li Mo watched each and every incoming attack with wide eyes.
The Celestial Eye wasn’t limited to X-ray vision, but rejection as well. Alas, Li Mo’s Celestial Eye was still in its infancy, only usable in very short distances. A true Celestial Eye would reject everything in sight with a blink.
“His creepy eye power has a short-range. Ignore them and attack everywhere else!”
The onslaught continued, with wave after wave hammering Li Mo’s body.
Li Mo stood unflinching, focusing on Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art.
Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art’s range had been growing so far and it only went faster the more spiritual qi he absorbed.
Sixth Xin cried, “Don’t panic, people! If it’s similar to Qi Pilfering Art, then there’s a limit to how much he can take. With how many of us there are, he may take our attacks, but he’ll explode from our qi!”
“Let him have it!”
“How can we all fear him!”
At sixth Xin’s mention, the people had decided.
None of them stopped attacking until now, but all they throw at him hadn’t had even a modicum of effect.
When Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art extended to half of the space in Black Tortoise Array, the experts within the range were finding it hard to bear.
Their qi flowed out of them like a river, gone in seconds.
Since Li Mo had never once attacked, the others could only withdraw outside his effective range.
Taking the qi of dozens of experts, Li Mo was still fine and dandy as he still extended the range. This told the rest that this mystery man’s art had a long way to go before reaching its limit.
“My qi is all gone.”
“I can’t use it either.”
“My wings are gone.”
“My fire is out.”
“How can this be? Just what blasted art is this?”
Li Mo released blue qi that covered every corner of his body.
Sixth Xin shouted, “Don’t panic! Look at his spiritual qi, it is so much he can’t take it all. He will soon stop, so don’t lose your calm!”
At his limit?
Hum~
Hum~
The range grew ten meters per second and driving the experts into the corners of the Black Tortoise Array. But not even that place was safe, only able to last one minute at best.
Lei Tian Mo stared coldly at Li Mo. He was among the very few who hadn’t wasted his spiritual qi. He was smart and withdrew at the corner of the array from the start.
It went the same for the three Xin brothers and Gui Henian. Staying far out of Li Mo’s reach from the start.
Lei Tian and Gui Henian acted at the same time. They grabbed any expert within arm’s reach and threw them at Li Mo.
What comrades? What unity? Nothing matter most right now than your own self, to come out of this unscathed.
The Xin brothers joined the throwing as well.
“Bastard Lei Tian, old Turle(T/N: bastard), and wretched Xin clan!”
The people in the air rained curses at them, while the rest on the ground scattered.
Soon, Black Tortoise Array’s corner only had Lei Tian, Gui Henian, and the Xin brothers.
The absorption range kept growing, to which Gui Henian was holding his shell coldly, “Lei Tian, as a senior of the expert world, you rank lower than us. Are you going to let us do him in, or will you?”
“I don’t feel like going for now.” Lei Tian laughed.
“Then I can only oblige that you do!”
“Be my guest.”
Lei Tian was aflame.
Gui Henian hesitated then remained still.
The last time he faced Lei Tian was five years ago. He had long heard that Lei Tian was training day in day out and that his power soared.
He could perhaps win, but it would waste his qi, helping the Xin clan instead.
So Gui Henian only grunted.
“Daoist Kame, Xin people, I’ll be troubling to step back a bit.”
Lei Tian’s flaming body threw a punch, his first strike of today.
The fire fist turned into a fire dragon roaring for Li Mo.
“A hundred-meter fire dragon!”
Gui Henian and Xin brothers cried out.
In front of this attack, Li Mo opened his eyes and the dragon’s head vanished. But the hundred-meter long fire dragon rose above him and attacked his back.
“Amazing!” Gui Henian praised.
Five years ago, Lei Tian’s fire dragon was only capable of moving in a straight line.
Boom~
The dragon smashed into Li Mo’s back and engulfed him in flames.
When all of it struck Li Mo, ten meters around him was a sea of flames.
Sixth Xin admired, “Lei clan’s fire art is incredible.”
Gui Henian looked from the side with a trace of fear for Lei Tian.
Not even he could withstand such a mighty fire dragon.
The people started cheering now that Li Mo was swallowed by flame. THought it didn’t last long.
“He’s still going, that bastard isn’t dead!”
The fire slowly died and Li Mo’s body was as perfect as before, without a scratch on him.
Not even a strand of hair was singed!
Gui Henian’s eyes bugged out at the freak that was Li Mo.
Lei Tian’s mood sank dangerously low, starring at Li Mo.
They were unaware Li Mo could not use his qi but could take some serious hits.
Clang!
Gui Henian and Xin brothers waiting for the expanding absorption area saw Lei Tian pull out a treasure sword. The moment it left the sheath, the absorption was stopped around him. He cut the Black Tortoise Array’s screen with the sword and escaped through the hole.
It all happened so fast that Gui Henian and Xin brothers were too dumbstruck to react.
Everyone inside the absorption range wanted to flee but was getting hard with how fast they were losing their qi.
In their moment of despair, Li Mo canceled the absorption.
Hum~
Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art stopped and Li Mo sucked in all the blue spiritual qi around him in an instant.
Gui Henian watching this was scared witless. It be a wonder if he didn’t pop from taking in so much spiritual qi.
But Li Mo’s skin only reddened a bit then returned to normal.
A blue light flashed on his body and Li Mo rose from the 1st layer of Spirit Stage all the way up to the 9th.
