Ninth In the World

Di Jiu sat down on the ground and the Void Mountain turned into a huge peak to protect his body. The endless killing flare of the level-eight Confinement Killing Divine Array had blasted against the Void Mountain. Therefore, it could not do anything to Di Jiu, at least not for a short time.

After swallowing several elixir pills and taking a few drops of the First Evolution True Dew, Di Jiu was finally relieved to find out that Mo Zhou had not approached.

Just as he had thought, he could not escape now. If he did so forcefully, he would likely be killed by Mo Zhou.

However, his method was very good. Since he could not get away, he would not do so. He had killed two Dao Integration experts of the Mo Clan. In a certain way, he was already temporarily safe. Of course, this safety premise was based on the assumption that Mo Zhou would not do anything to him personally. Di Jiu had guessed that Mo Zhou would not come out because if Mo Zhou dared to come out, he would have done so long ago and would not have waited until now.

At the same time, he was also glad that this was a Confinement Killing Divine Array and not a Strangulation Divine Array. Otherwise, he could not have used the Void Mountain to block the killing flare and could only have constantly resisted the level-eight Confinement Killing Divine Array. Would he still have had the time to recuperate like that?

At the moment, Di Jiu, who was covered in blood, looked stern. However, he knew very well that this injury was not important to him at all. The real injury was the fact that his Starry Sky meridian had been assailed by Mo Zhou’s killing intent and torn and a crack had been created in his Spiritual Sea. If he did not recuperate as soon as possible, he might even collapse.

Fortunately, he had a lot of good stuff. Most importantly, he had perfected his second-step Nomological Dao in Jia He Town, which in turn helped Di Jiu recuperate more quickly.

Deep in the Mo Clan, a thin and weak man who looked indistinguishable from a skeleton stared in the direction of the Mo Clan’s White Sand Hall and snorted. How dare he recuperate there peacefully after killing two Dao Integration experts of the Mo Family? He could dream on.

He lifted his hand to take out a black Dao fruit and swallowed it before he performed Dao Art hand seals with both hands.

He did not believe that he, who used to be a third-step expert, could not kill a nobody with his killing intent. Even though he had used the black origin Dao fruit, it would take tens of thousands of years to recuperate and he wanted to kill this nobody. Of course, the most important factor was not the Mo Family, but the fact that a nobody like Di Jiu had a Void Mountain.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The space around Di Jiu suddenly burst into a dull roar that tore the void as the space shook.

The killing intent had formed substantially and wanted to tear his Spiritual Sea and physical body apart.

A Yin-Yang Taijitu suddenly appeared around Di Jiu, protecting him completely. The endless, horrifying killing intent that had formed substantially had been stopped by the Yin-Yang Taijitu.

Even though it had been blocked by the Yin-Yang Taijitu, Di Jiu still spat out several blood arrows again and his entire body felt dispirited.

Not only had the Spiritual Sea that had been cracked for a long time not even recovered a little, but it had instead cracked even more. If Di Jiu had not experienced all kinds of terrifying pains, he would not have been able to bear the tear of his Spiritual Sea.

Di Jiu heaved a sigh of relief and looked in shock at the place where Mo Zhou was. He was sure that the killing aura erupted by Mo Zhou just now was nearly twice as strong as before. If he had used this powerful killing intent when he had dealt with Mo Yun and Mo Jiao before, he would not necessarily have been able to kill them.

Even if he had, his injuries would have been more terrifying than they were now.

“Is that the Yin-Yang Taijitu?” Mo Zhou was more shocked than Di Jiu. He was jealous of Di Jiu’s Void Mountain and he had not expected that Di Jiu would still have the Yin-Yang Taijitu.

He was not a weakling. In Mo Zhou’s opinion, the reason he was being bullied by a nobody who was inferior to him was because he had no top-notch Dharma treasure. However, a nobody like Di Jiu had two of the most top-notch Dharma treasures.

He really could not figure it out. Since Di Jiu had the Yin-Yang Taijitu, why had he not taken it out while dealing with Mo Jiao and Mo Yun? Wouldn’t it have been more advantageous if it had been taken out at the time? The Void Mountain could not stop his killing aura, but the Yin-Yang Taijitu could do so.

In fact, while dealing with Mo Jiao and Mo Yun, Di Jiu had thought of using the Taijitu to resist Mo Zhou’s killing intent but he had very quickly dismissed that thought.

He was facing two Dao Integration experts and he had to control the Void Mountain. No matter how strong his Spiritual Force was, it was a bit suffocating.

If he had taken out the Yin-Yang Taijitu, he could indeed have suffered fewer injuries and he would at least not have been injured by Mo Zhou’s third-step killing intent.

But what would have been the use of that? He was sure that he could not kill Mo Jiao because he had changed from an attacker to a defender.

The Confinement Killing Array outside the White Sand Hall belonged to the Mo Family. He had previously temporarily used the nomological restriction to lock Mo Jiao so that he could not escape anytime soon.

If he could not kill Mo Jiao in a short time, Mo Zhou would very likely help Mo Jiao escape.

There were two reasons he had dared to stay in the Confinement Array. First, two Dao Integration experts of the Mo Family had both been trapped there by him. Second, Mo Zhou would not dare attack him face to face. Once Mo Jiao escaped, his plan would basically fail.

No matter how strong he was, he was just an early-stage Primordial Chaos expert. Mo Jiao, who was a mid-stage Dao Integration expert, had left the White Sand Hall and mobilized people to work with Mo Zhou to deal with him. After all, he was trapped in the level-eight Confinement Killing Divine Array. Di Jiu himself did not believe that he could still win.

Mo Jiao had been killed by him. Of course, his Taijitu was protecting his body. The killing intent of Mo Zhou was so terrifying that he did not want to suffer a sneak attack of Mo Zhou’s while he was recuperating. As long as Mo Zhou attacked with his killing intent, the Yin-Yang Taijitu would naturally come out.

The only thing that Di Jiu had not expected was that Mo Zhou’s attack would be stronger than the previous attacks or even twice as strong. While dealing with such a powerful killing intent attack, Di Jiu got more injured, even though he had used the Yin-Yang Taijitu to protect his meridians and Spiritual Sea.

Despite knowing that Mo Zhou had not given it his all, Di Jiu frantically used his cultivation technique to recuperate and continuously swallowed Dao pills.

Upon seeing that Di Jiu had the Yin-Yang Taijitu, Mo Zhou’s heart sank deep.

Not only did Di Jiu have the Yin-Yang Taijitu, but he also had a bunch of healing Dao pills. He knew that he would not kill Di Jiu by himself along with a few other Primordial Chaos experts.

At that moment, he regretted it. He should have eaten his black origin Dao fruit earlier, but he could not bear to eat it. As long as he waited for another 1,000 years and swallowed it, there was a 60% chance that he would reach Dao Integration. When that happened, his injury would recuperate more than twice as fast.

However, more than half of the explosive attack of the black origin Dao fruit he had swallowed was removed by the Yin-Yang Taijitu, allowing this nobody to escape again.

Mo Zhou’s expression changed, and he suddenly stood up. He knew that he had to escape.

If he could not kill the nobody before him, that nobody would kill him after a while. In his opinion, although this nobody’s Array Dao was weaker than his, it could not be any weaker.

The reason the other party did not come out now was that the Void Mountain and the Yin-Yang Taijitu were protecting him. Thus, it would be best if he stayed in the White Sand Hall to recuperate. When the other party had roughly recuperated, it would be time for Mo Zhou to die.

Mo Zhou took out a flying sword and threw it out before he activated a talisman. Then, this talisman vanished without a trace along with Mo Zhou.

Once Mo Zhou escaped, Di Jiu sensed it. Even if he had not been injured, he could not have captured Mo Zhou, let alone given how terrifying his injuries were now.

However, after Mo Zhou left, Di Jiu was completely relieved. Even though he had not killed Mo Zhou, he was safe.

The most dangerous place was the safest. If he had tried to escape from the level-eight Confinement Killing Array after killing Mo Jiao, he was afraid that he would have been a corpse now.

Mo Zhou had fled, while two of the Dao Integration experts of the Mo Family had perished. This news very quickly spread to the Mo Clan. The experts of the Mo Clan fled one after another, but the foreign cultivators on the square did not understand why the people of the Mo Family were fleeing in such a hurry.

Di Jiu also stopped recuperating. Even though he was seriously injured, he had no problem protecting himself there without Mo Zhou or any Dao Integration experts around. Moreover, since Mo Zhou had fled, this Confinement Killing Divine Array was not considered one by him anymore.

He had to grab onto someone with a higher cultivation level and ask where Ling Xiaoshuang had gone before all the cultivators of the Mo Clan fled.
