Chapter 244: Encountering Yuan Cang Once More
While Lin Mo and Bai Luo were searching for resources, they had encountered Yuan Cang, the Holy Son of the Primordial Sun Holy Land once more.
Aside from him, they had also encountered Han Yue, the Holy Daughter of the Profound Azure Holy Land.
The two of them were leading the disciples of their respective holy lands to search for treasures, and everywhere they went, huge commotions would ensue.
Upon encountering the holy duo, the aura that they exuded had caused Lin Mo to turn pale with fright, but it had also made him tremble with excitement.
Lin Mo and Bai Luo were undoubtedly dark horses themselves, and their combat strength was astonishing.
One side featured individuals from the Yanhuang Board of Fame, whereas the other side featured dark horses who had only recently made a name for themselves. What would ensue when the two forces collided?
Yuan Cang’s strength had improved again, and he was now at tier 18 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. His pair of fiery eyes emitted a burning sense of hatred.
The moment the two sides locked gazes, an earth-shattering eruption ensued.
Yuan Cang’s black hair was disheveled, and a flaming spear appeared in his hand. He radiated a regal bearing, as if all creatures in the world was beneath him.
Behind him, Han Yue had an outstanding bearing. Her white dress fluttered in the wind, and her gorgeous eyes darted around the area, sensing for any threats.
The two were truly a match made in heaven, and it made onlookers envious.
Lin Mo stood in mid-air. He was dressed plainly, but there seemed to be a strange domain around him that made it difficult for spiritual energy to permeate.
Beside him, Bai Luo also held a long spear in her hand and remained silent. However, her powerful aura told everyone that she was no pushover either.
The two sides immediately leaped into battle without saying a word. The shockwaves that erupted from their battle rattled all living beings around them.
These four people could be said to be mortal enemies, destined to have a grudge with the opposing side until the end of time.
Yuan Cang pointed his long spear towards the sky and swung it down towards Lin Mo. Recently, rumors had been flying around claiming that his strength had been exaggerated.
In reality, he was not a match for Lin Mo at all. It was for this reason that the elders from the Primordial Sun Holy Land had forbidden him from fighting Lin Mo previously.
The rumors made Yuan Cang furious. His spear tore through the sky and exploded with an intense killing intent as it charged towards Lin Mo.
Lin Mo stayed silent as well. This was the moment he had been waiting for. He had been itching to kill Yuan Cang for a long time.
As for Bai Luo and Han Yue, the two of them did not make a move. They were observing the battle while at the same time being wary of the other party.
“Clang!”
In just an instant, the long spear came charging over. Lin Mo intercepted it with Plain White Snow. A shocking shockwave erupted from the intense collision.
The two of them retreated at the same time, causing both heaven and earth to tremble as Dao shockwaves spread out. Two fiery-red rays of light blossomed at the same time, blinding the onlookers momentarily.
The long spear and the long sword collided. Sparks flew in all directions as flames spread out and consumed each other.
The collisions of their weapons caused the sky to tremble slightly. Runes formed in the air and shook the air itself.
Balls of flames spread out, erupting into a sea of flames that filled the sky.
Lin Mo’s body was attacked, and his arm shook violently. He almost dropped Plain White Snow as a result of the blow.
As he staggered backward, he fired a blast of Sword Qi to force Yuan Cang let up on him. Nevertheless, the pain he had experienced in his arm had left him feeling rather shocked.
Yuan Cang’s strength had increased, and it had increased by a large margin.
Not only had his control over the flames improved, but his physical body had also changed. It was incomparably terrifying. He felt as if he was a demonic beast in human skin.
Yuan Cang shared the same astonishment towards Lin Mo as well.
With his newfound power, Yuan Cang was certain that he could rank in the top 15 of the Yanhuang Board of Fame.
Despite this, Lin Mo had still proven to be a rather difficult enemy to kill. Not only was his body as tough as a rock, it was also extremely difficult to stagger him.
More importantly, Lin Mo had gained this amount of power at tier 17 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and this was when he had yet to reach Perfect Realm.
Logically speaking, he should have a massive upper hand just from his tier advantage alone.
“Wait, when did you suddenly learn how to use flames?”
Yuan Cang was struck with a sudden realization and he immediately asked Lin Mo in disbelief.
Lin Mo’s sudden boost in strength had caused Yuan Cang to momentarily forget. Lin Mo had originally been a sword cultivator.
He was certain of it. The first time they changed blows, Lin Mo had launched countless powerful Sword Qis at him, and the two of them were evenly matched.
Now, however, not only did Lin Mo’s strength increase massively, he even mastered how to control flames, pure flames at that, similar to that of the flames of Dao Principles.
Could Lin Mo possibly have gained mastery over these pure flames in the short period since we last met?
“This is impossible.”
Yuan Cang roared in anger. He gripped his long spear tightly and soared into the air, emitting a dazzling flame as he attacked once again.
A huge dragon formed from flames and descended from the sky.
Although Plain White Snow was a tier 9 weapon, it seemed to have fared rather poorly against Yuan Cang’s long spear.
From this, Lin Mo reasoned that it was because the spear was a top-grade tier 9 weapon, perhaps even a spirit-grade one.
Lin Mo raised his sword to block the attack, but in the next moment, the spirit sword shattered. The weapon that had accompanied him all this time had been broken.
A bloody light blossomed. The long spear descended and the fire dragon disappeared. People could vaguely see that Yuan Cang’s spear had pierced through Lin Mo’s head.
Was Lin Mo dead?
Everyone felt pity for Lin Mo..
Losing due to a weapon quality was truly a pitiful reason.
Fire spread across the field and everyone could smell the scent of fresh blood. Although they were quickly incinerated by the flames, they had still caught a whiff of the odor.
“Heavens, the result was determined in two moves?”
It had only taken two spears moves for Yuan Cang to stab the peerless genius known as Lin Mo to death. His strength was truly unbelievable.
Yuan Cang’s eyes were cold as he stared down at him. Exerting more power into his attack, he tried his hardest to bring the spear down.
The fluctuations produced by the exertion of his power were extremely terrifying, and it caused the onlookers’ hearts to palpitate.
“No, Lin Mo is still alive,” some people claimed.
Yuan Cang did not relax, and he seemed to be exerting even more strength. It was clear that Lin Mo was resisting.
However, now that Lin Mo’s weapon had shattered, how could he go against Yuan Cang?
The flames surrounding the duo gradually weakened. Many were shocked by what they saw.
Lin Mo was levitating in mid-air with blood trickling down and his blade shattered.
However, the blood was a result of the shattered blade pieces wounding him, and the same shattered pieces had also wounded Yuan Cang.
“What?”
Everyone was shocked. Using the remaining half of his sword, Lin Mo had intercepted Yuan Cang’s spear. Throughout the entire process, he did not waver.
Although half of his sword had shattered, the remaining half was still as sharp as ever, and it emitted a fiery glow as it resisted Yuan Cang’s spear.
“Boom!”
In the next moment, Lin Mo erupted and attacked with the broken sword. Layers of Sword Qi shot forward.
The shattering of Plain White Snow did not affect its power whatsoever.
The Sword Qi blew past Yuan Cang spear, and landed squarely on his chest, leaving a massive gash on his chest.
Everyone turned pale with fright. Lin Mo seemed to have the upper hand.
The fact that he had injured Yuan Cang with a broken weapon was prove of that.
Another piece of Plain White Snow broke apart. Spotting the piece, Lin Mo then fired a flame and it, causing it to hurtle towards Yuan Cang’s forehead.
“Swish.”
Yuan Cang’s long spear slashed down, deflecting the blade. He moved very quickly and stabbed at Lin Mo again.
The two of them continued to exchange blows with each other. The Sword Qi from their attacks soared into the sky together with powerful flames.
Many onlookers retreated from the scene, worried that they would get caught in their battle.
They were too powerful. The power they possessed was not something they could endure.
“Krakoom!”
The two had exchanged over a hundred blows, and yet, their aura did not diminish at the slightest.
However, Lin Mo’s Plain White Snow was in tatters. Each attack from Yuan Cang had only served to whittle the blade, and in the end, Plain White Snow was no longer usable.
