If he did not understand Black Wolf and Chan Ruyi's methods, Su Zimo would definitely be flustered if he was suddenly attacked by Essence Spirit secret skills.
However, he had experienced the might of Essence Spirit secret skills in the past and had already come up with a way to deal with them.
With a single thought, streams of golden light extended from Su Zimo's left wrist in a sacred and flawless manner, forming an indestructible barrier around him!
Boom!
Clang! Clang!
In midair, Black Wolf, who was condensed from his spirit consciousness, collided against the barrier. Two curved sabers that were as thin as cicada wings slashed against the barrier with a loud sound!
The golden barrier trembled endlessly and ripples appeared one after another.
The golden barrier managed to defend against the two Essence Spirit secret skills!
"This …"
Black Wolf and Chan Ruyi's expressions changed starkly.
Ordinary Dharmic weapons could defend against Dharmic arts, weapons and many other forces. However, they could not defend against the power of Essence Spirits.
Against Essence Spirit secret skills, one had to either defend against them with the power of Essence Spirit or use special Essence Spirit Dharmic weapons.
However, Essence Spirit Dharmic weapons were way too rare and difficult to refine.
Even in the cultivation world, they were extremely rare, let alone in the world of demons. In fact, they were even rarer than connate Dharmic weapons!
Now that the golden barrier blocked their Essence Spirit secret skills, it meant that the person opposite them possessed an Essence Spirit Dharmic weapon!
Furthermore, that Essence Spirit Dharmic weapon was extremely powerful.
This person was only at the Nascent Soul realm and yet, he was able to defend against their combined attacks with that Essence Spirit Dharmic weapon!
Black Wolf and Chan Ruyi were right.
Indeed, Su Zimo had an Essence Spirit Dharmic weapon in his possession.
The Dharmic weapon was given to him by the old monk at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley.
It was the cornerstone treasure of Daming Monastery in the past – the Mingwang Prayer Beads!
Initially, there were six Mingwang Prayer Beads and they were worn by the titular disciple of Daming Monastery, Monk Daming.
However, with the passage of time, the world had changed and Monk Daming had long passed away. This string of Mingwang Prayer Beads had been passed around and only four of them were left. They had become incomplete.
Even so, the four Mingwang Prayer Beads were not to be underestimated!
In the Jin Dan Realm, it was still difficult for Su Zimo to control the Mingwang Prayer beads. He could only wear them on his wrist, which could block the probing of some Divine Senses.
It was not until he cultivated his Primordial Spirit that he was able to use some of the power of the Mingwang Prayer Beads.
Of course, he would only be able to unleash the true power of the Mingwang Prayer Beads after reaching the Return to Void Stage!
Now, the Mingwang Prayer Beads could only be used to defend his Primordial Spirit.
But this was already enough!
It was enough to withstand the Essence Soul secret techniques of the two Territorial Lords of Howling Moon Mountain!
The battlefield was constantly changing.
The fact that Black Wolf and Chan Ruyi's Essence Spirit secret skills were ineffective meant that they would have to endure Su Zimo's suffocating melee attacks!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of noises could be heard.
Figures were sent flying and swayed repeatedly.
In less than ten breaths, Black Wolf and Chan Ruyi were sent flying one after another, slamming heavily against the stone walls behind them and sliding down slowly!
Su Zimo stood not far away from them silently. His eyes were clear and his clothes were spotless and neat, as though he had not attacked at all.
It was a complete defeat!
Black Wolf and Chan Ruyi's faces were pale and they felt as though their tendons and bones were about to crack. However, they grit their teeth and did not make a single sound!
Both of them looked at Su Zimo with conflicted expressions.
They were smart and could clearly sense that Just Now, this person was holding back intentionally.
Otherwise, given his methods, it would have been extremely easy for him to kill them after seizing the initiative!
Suddenly, Black Wolf thought of something and felt a sense of trepidation.
If he Just Now had gone back on his words and given the order to kill this person, he would have been a corpse lying on the ground by now!
At the same time that he pardoned Su Zimo, he was also pardoning himself!
In reality, Black Wolf's thoughts were not far from the truth.
That was indeed the reason why Su Zimo came this time round.
They wanted to take over the mountain but did not have any helpers under their command.
Naturally, it would be for the best if he could take in Black Wolf and Chan Ruyi without bloodshed!
Bronze Bull's mouth was agape and his eyes were widened; his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
He truly had not expected this to be the outcome of this battle!
Two Territorial Lords joined forces and yet, they lost to a low-level fiend demon who had just broken through?
If he had not witnessed it personally, he would not have believed it.
"S-Territorial Lord, are you guys alright?"
Bronze Bull asked carefully.
Black Wolf waved it off and stood up, looking at Su Zimo as he said slowly, "I've lost. Indeed, you're qualified to be the Territorial Lord of Howling Moon Mountain."
"However, I only acknowledge your potential!"
Black Wolf emphasized, "Given your potential, if you continue cultivating and become a mid-level fiend demon, there won't be anyone in the vicinity who can threaten you. But right now …"
Black Wolf did not continue.
Chan Ruyi added, "If you want to resolve the crisis of Howling Moon Mountain with the methods and Essence Spirit Dharmic weapon Just Now, I'm afraid it's not enough."
"I have my own plans for how to resolve the crisis of Howling Moon Mountain,"
Su Zimo said indifferently, "All you have to do is tell me if you want to submit to me."
Instantly, the cave abode went silent.
Black Wolf was silent with a hesitant expression.
Anyone who could become a Territorial Lord was no small character. Now that he was asked to abdicate his position and submit to someone else, he was finally conflicted.
However, Hei Lang knew that if he waited for the three territories to attack, his situation would only be worse than it was now!
Not only would he die, Howling Moon Mountain would cease to exist as well!
That was something he could not accept the most!
At that thought, Black Wolf gripped his fists slightly and said in a deep voice, "Since I've lost, I have nothing else to say! I'm willing to give up my position as Territorial Lord as long as you can protect Howling Moon Mountain and treat every single demon here well! "
"Territorial Lord!"
Bronze Bull shouted.
Black Wolf waved it off. "I've already made up my mind. There's no need to say anything more."
"Alright!"
Su Zimo nodded and declared, "From this day forth, Howling Moon Mountain will have a new Deputy Territorial Lord – Black Wolf! Chan Ruyi will continue to be the Deputy Territorial Lord and her position will remain unchanged! "
Monkey and the others were excited.
This meant that from this moment forth, the five of them would have a territory of their own!
Pondering for a moment, Black Wolf cupped his fists. "I still don't know your name, Territorial Lord. Also, what is your true form, Territorial Lord? "
To be fair, even though he had already given up his position as Territorial Lord, Black Wolf was still indignant towards this young man before him.
However, he felt that he could not see through this person!
Up till this point of their fight, he did not even know what this person's true form was!
It was the same for Chan Ruyi!
Su Zimo thought for a moment and said, "From this day forth, you guys can call me Mo!"
"Mo?"
Black Wolf and Chan Ruyi murmured softly.
The names of demons were much more casual than the names of cultivators.
Even one-word names were extremely common.
There were also many demon beasts like monkey who could not be bothered to give themselves names.
The two of them exchanged glances and could see the confusion in each other's hearts.
Su Zimo only answered a single question. Black Wolf and Chan Ruyi were tactful and did not continue asking.
