Chapter 128: Such a Powerful Martial Skill, There's No Way Shen Mo Can Use It a Second Time
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A chilling coldness, like a dragon or a serpent, surged from all directions, encircling the people of Blood River Sect.
In just a few breaths, the temperature dropped to the point where even exhaled air turned to frost.
Everyone, including Feng Lieshan, immediately felt goosebumps rise all over their bodies.
That bone-chilling cold pierced deep into their bones, desperately trying to invade their bodies.
The members of Blood River Sect had no choice but to circulate their spiritual power to resist the cold.
Spiritual power was being consumed rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, each person had already lost at least twenty percent of their spiritual power.
If this continued...
Forget about killing the people of Qingxuan Sect; the real question was whether they could even survive in this formation.
Shen Mo smiled faintly.
The power of a formation lies in this.
As long as it's set up properly and the timing is accurate, defeating many with few or overcoming the strong with the weak is entirely possible.
These people, once their spiritual power was depleted, were no different from lambs waiting for slaughter in Shen Mo's eyes.
"What... what kind of formation is this?! Why is there such a formation?!" Feng Lieshan was both shocked and furious.
The Profound Frost Cave should only have one defensive formation.
Why had another one appeared now?
Could it be that Liu Yuanfeng had deceived him?
Was Liu Yuanfeng actually loyal to Qingxuan Sect and deliberately fed him false information?
Feng Lieshan glared angrily at Liu Yuanfeng, who was within the Profound Frost Cave.
"Liu Yuanfeng, you lied to me! You gave me false intelligence!" he roared in rage.
At this moment, the members of Qingxuan Sect were wide-eyed in shock.
Song Chaofeng and Wei Xiongtie were on the verge of bowing down to Shen Mo in admiration.
They never imagined Shen Mo had such a trump card.
Judging by the power of this formation, it was at least a mid-level Earth-tier formation.
They couldn't even fathom where Shen Mo had obtained it.
After Feng Lieshan's roar, everyone turned to Liu Yuanfeng.
Liu Yuanfeng took a deep breath and retorted without hesitation.
"I, Liu Yuanfeng, have always been loyal to Qingxuan Sect, never with a divided heart. What intelligence do you think I gave you?"
"Greedy Blood River Sect! How dare you invade the property of Qingxuan Sect? You will all perish here today!"
He stood with his hands on his hips, pointing at Feng Lieshan in the sky, his voice filled with righteous indignation, spittle flying as he spoke.
He looked like a wise strategist who had planned everything for the sake of his sect!
Song Chaofeng and Wei Xiongtie glanced at Liu Yuanfeng, half-believing, half-doubting.
However, many disciples of Qingxuan Sect began to view Liu Yuanfeng differently.
In the past, Liu Yuanfeng had often been at odds with Murong Yue. There were also rumors about how he had once teamed up with Liu Yunxuan and Song Junjie to go against Shen Mo during the Qingxuan Cave incident.
Many had speculated whether Liu Yuanfeng had other intentions.
But now, it seemed Liu Yuanfeng not only had no ulterior motives, but he was also deeply loyal to Qingxuan Sect!
Hearing Liu Yuanfeng's words, Feng Lieshan was so furious that he almost passed out.
"Fine! Fine! Fine!"
He spat out the word "fine" three times, his eyes filled with hatred.
"Do you really think this formation can kill us?"
"The greatest strength of Blood River Sect is our power!"
"As long as we kill you before our spiritual power is completely exhausted, it will be enough!"
With a furious shout, Feng Lieshan immediately struck out with his palm, sending a blood-colored hand hurtling towards Shen Mo!
The blood-colored hand reappeared.
This time, it was a little less composed but filled with even more violent killing intent.
Song Chaofeng and Wei Xiongtie's pupils shrank, and they shouted instinctively, "Young Master!"
Shen Mo stomped the ground fiercely, stabilizing his stance.
Spiritual power surged within him, instantly connecting with the metal spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
In the next moment, three large bronze gates suddenly materialized in front of him.
The three giant gates stood firmly in front of him.
The next moment.
The blood-colored hand collided with the three giant gates.
A piercing boom echoed.
The shockwave shattered the frost on the surrounding walls.
The nearest houses couldn't withstand the impact and were instantly blown apart, shattering into a storm of icy fragments.
The ice and dust mixed together, obscuring everyone's vision.
The members of Qingxuan Sect hiding within the Profound Frost Cave couldn't see clearly.
They didn't know if Shen Mo had managed to block the strike.
"Young Master…" Wei Xiongtie gritted his teeth. "Feng Lieshan is at the peak of the Core Formation stage. Can he hold it off?"
Song Chaofeng's expression darkened.
He knew that not much time had passed since Shen Mo had reached the Core Formation stage.
No matter how fast Shen Mo had cultivated, at best, he could only be in the early stage of Core Formation.
To face someone at the peak of Core Formation while only at the early stage...
It would already be impressive if Shen Mo wasn't severely injured by a single strike.
Zhao Ting, Zhao Rou, Luo Shengnan, and others tightened their focus, staring intently at the icy fragments.
Boom!
A red phoenix of fire suddenly burst out, instantly evaporating the icy shards into steam.
The fiery red phoenix did not lose its momentum, charging straight towards Feng Lieshan in mid-air.
This was the second move of the Nine Suns Divine Phoenix technique!
Feng Lieshan's pupils dilated in shock.
He had thought his palm strike would severely wound Shen Mo.
But to his surprise, not only was Shen Mo unharmed, but he had also launched such a fierce counterattack!
Feng Lieshan immediately activated a defensive martial skill.
A blood-colored mirror quickly condensed and appeared before him.
Boom!
The fiery phoenix shattered the blood-colored mirror on impact and struck Feng Lieshan directly.
His body was thrown several meters back, crashing into a house and being buried beneath the rubble.
The members of Blood River Sect were stunned and hurriedly rushed to help him.
The members of Qingxuan Sect, on the other hand, widened their eyes, staring at Shen Mo.
They saw Shen Mo still standing calmly in place.
Three large bronze gates encircled him.
Solid as a fortress! Like a guardian deity!
"What kind of defensive martial skill is that? How could it be so sturdy, blocking Feng Lieshan's full-force strike?" Wei Xiongtie asked in surprise.
Song Chaofeng sighed. "I don't know, but it's definitely not from Qingxuan Sect. It must be something Young Master obtained through his own fortune."
"I think it's definitely an Earth-tier martial skill; otherwise, it couldn't produce such power."
The surrounding disciples of Qingxuan Sect all nodded in agreement.
Earth-tier martial skills were the dream of any Core Formation cultivator.
If it truly was an Earth-tier martial skill, then it made sense that Shen Mo could use it to fend off an attack from someone at the peak of Core Formation while only being in the early stage.
By this time, Feng Lieshan had already been pulled out from the rubble by his subordinates.
His chest was still dotted with persistent red flames.
Feng Lieshan had no choice but to use his remaining spiritual power to fend off these stubborn flames.
"An eternal flame, truly remarkable."
He glared at Shen Mo in the distance, gritting his teeth.
"Attack him together! I refuse to believe he can keep using this kind of technique!" Feng Lieshan roared.
"Yes, sir!"
The six elders of Blood River Sect charged forward in unison.
Scarlet spear lights.
Black blade auras.
Palm imprints entwined with lightning.
All of these attacks targeted Shen Mo simultaneously!
"We should help, to share the burden of the attacks for Young Master," Song Chaofeng took a deep breath and said seriously.
Wei Xiongtie nodded.
The two were just about to rush forward.
Shen Mo, however, smiled slightly. "Wait. You should focus on recovering from your injuries. When the formation's energy runs out later, I'll need you to capture them. I can't do it all on my own."
"But that's an attack from six people! Three of them are at the mid-Core Formation stage, and the other three are at the early stage," Song Chaofeng said anxiously.
"They think I can't use that technique repeatedly. What a pity… Not only can I use it, but I can use it endlessly."
Shen Mo looked at the six approaching enemies and smiled.
His right hand formed a blade, and the red flames gathered once again.
The sound of a phoenix's cry echoed around him once more!
