Chapter 777 - 869 The Frightened Ice Spirit
However, the shockwave swept past Chen Mo’s body, yet he remained motionless, his body surface brimming with golden light.
Boom!
At this moment, a black shadow darted towards Chen Mo, delivering a punch with unstoppable momentum, aiming at Chen Mo.
He was a disciple of the Jinyi Sect, at the Early Stage Nascent Soul, named Ning Chong.
This distance was his limit.
Thinking that it would end here, he might as well make a move to disturb Chen Mo. If he could take him off the Path of Immortality together, that would be even better.
"Asking for trouble."
Upon detecting the opponent’s strength, Chen Mo seemed to have guessed his intentions. Seeing this, he directly activated the Red Dragon Demon Arm and also used the Galaxy Constellations Fist, delivering a punch.
Trying to deplete my strength, huh.
Then I’ll critically injure you, let’s see how you clear the trial at the precipice.
Boom!
When the two fists collided, a ferocious True Qi shockwave swept out.
Ning Chong’s pupils constricted, and his face altered dramatically.
"Crack!"
In the next moment, he felt the bone in his right arm fracture, a massive force transmitting from his right arm to his body.
As he was about to be sent flying backward, Chen Mo swiftly acted, grabbing Ning Chong’s hand with his left hand and pulling him to his side, his right hand gathering strength. When Ning Chong came near, Chen Mo’s right fist immediately struck, fiercely hitting Ning Chong’s chest.
With a "crack," a part of Ning Chong’s right chest caved in as Chen Mo deliberately avoided his heart area with the punch, fearing he might kill him with one blow.
As Ning Chong was about to fly backward, Chen Mo grabbed him again, then threw him high in the air. As he fell, a whip kick swept across his waist.
Bam!
This time, Ning Chong flew straight out, falling off the Path of Immortality with a cry of agony, plummeting towards the precipice below.
"Gulp."
Everyone outside who saw this couldn’t help but swallow hard; it was too ruthless.
Each move was a heavy blow yet avoided vital areas.
Such severe injuries, even with a healing holy medicine, might take a day or two to heal.
Now that he’s fallen into the precipice, the second round might be very hard to pass.
"Brat." The Elder of the Jinyi Sect saw this scene, his beard sticking out in anger. Bowing to the thirty-six Sect Leaders in the void, he said, "Fellow Sect Leaders, this child is too full of malice. Ning Chong only wanted to spar with him a little, yet was treated so viciously. How can such a ruthless person become a disciple of the Daoist Alliance?"
"Wang Bingran, you’re muddleheaded. Clearly, your disciple from the Jinyi Sect initiated a sneak attack first, didn’t he? If it were someone else, that hit just now would have severely injured them. You still have the nerve to accuse others of being ruthless. In my opinion, he’s the one unworthy of becoming a disciple of the Daoist Alliance."
Zuoqiu Yiren was leisurely lying on a sword drinking wine. Upon hearing Wang Bingran’s words, she immediately stood up in rebuttal, almost wanting to throw a gourd at him. She further said, "And you shamelessly call it sparring, how dare you say it aloud?"
"You... you..." Wang Bingran, over two thousand years old and inherently genteel, couldn’t argue with Zuoqiu Yiren. Her words left him speechless, ultimately pointing at Zuoqiu Yiren and repeatedly saying, "Vulgar, vulgar..."
"Enough." Even the Sect Leader of the Jinyi Sect couldn’t stand it anymore, stopping Wang Bingran and saying, "It was Ning Chong who made the move first. Even if there’s a mistake, he was the one at fault. Moreover, this is an assessment; what Chen Mo did is in accordance with the assessment rules. If you want to blame, blame it on his skills being inferior."
The Sect Leader of the Jinyi Sect said so, and this matter ended here.
"Still say Sect Leader Ouyang understands reason." Zuoqiu Yiren bowed to the Jinyi Sect’s Sect Leader. The latter smiled and then turned his gaze back to the Path of Immortality.
That move by Chen Mo.
Frightened the disciples from various sects behind, who then bowed their heads to avoid drawing Chen Mo’s attention.
Chen Mo did this to set an example, to deter others from troubling him.
Before making a move, at least weigh one’s own abilities and consider if they can bear the consequences of doing so.
After this slight display, Chen Mo continued forward.
Ice Spirit also noticed this scene. She wasn’t far from Chen Mo, and it left her feeling apprehensive.
As Chen Mo closed the distance between them,
she, who had once had a conflict with Chen Mo,
"Will he do the same to me?" This thought flashed in her mind, and her back immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Her worry grew as Chen Mo approached, and Ice Spirit even started feeling a bit scared, along with regret.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Sister Ice Spirit, we..."
"Don’t even think about it."
Before Chen Mo finished speaking, Ice Spirit suddenly shouted. Startled Chen Mo, she ran directly to the edge of the Path of Immortality and jumped off.
Her actions left Chen Mo bewildered.
He was just trying to greet her.
Why did she jump?
Likewise, everyone watching outside was dumbfounded.
"Aren’t they from the same sect? Why did she jump off the Path of Immortality out of fright?"
"I know her, she’s the disciple Ice Spirit from the Shenxiao Sect. I’ve heard she’s a talisman genius with Middle Stage Nascent Soul cultivation. She could have gone further, so why jump here?"
"Could there be some conflict between them?"
"..."
"I say, junior brother, what’s with this disciple of yours?" Li Xianyuan’s curious gaze turned to Dao Feizi, as he too was baffled by Ice Spirit’s actions.
"Maybe she wanted to conserve energy to better pass the second round at the precipice," Dao Feizi guessed.
...
"Phew, thankfully I ran fast, or I would have been in trouble."
Ice Spirit landed steadily within the precipice. Although there was some pressure around the Path of Immortality, making it impossible to fly,
it couldn’t affect the precipice. About a thousand feet before the precipice, she could fly again.
Just as Ice Spirit breathed a sigh of relief, "Chen Mo" appeared before her.
"Sister Ice Spirit, where are you running to?"
"Chen Mo" approached with a lecherous smile.
Ice Spirit’s expression changed: "How are you here?"
In the next second, "Chen Mo" lunged at Ice Spirit.
Still consumed by her fear of Chen Mo, seeing "Chen Mo" pounce, Ice Spirit was too frightened to know how to defend herself.
She was tackled to the ground by "Chen Mo."
His strength was great, no matter how Ice Spirit struggled, she could not break free.
"What... what do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do?"
"Chen Mo" curled a smile at the corner of his mouth, then grabbed Ice Spirit’s chin: "Sister, what do you think?"
Ice Spirit jumped in fright, panicking: "Don’t... don’t do anything rash, or I’ll never let you go, even as a ghost.
I was wrong, truly wrong, I apologize, just don’t do anything rash..."
"Rip." Before Ice Spirit finished speaking, her clothes were torn apart by "Chen Mo."
