"Where are they? Why did they suddenly disappear? "
The mustached man had a dumbfounded look on his face. They were all experts in tracking, but they actually lost their targets? Wasn't this too ridiculous?
"I think I saw them riding on a cloud and flying away?"
A young man didn't dare to be sure.
His vision was very good, but the sky was filled with dark clouds and the night was as dark as ink. The distance he could see was simply too short. They were tracking based on the hoofprints.
"Is there a hole in your brain? If you say they are riding on a bird, I can still believe it. But riding on a cloud? That thing is so light, even a cat would fall from it. "
The mustached man impatiently urged, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. Quickly go and find them!"
The group of people split up, wanting to dig three feet into the ground to dig them out.
...
Liu Village was a small village over 50 miles away from Jinling. Behind it was a mountain forest, and they made a living by mining rocks. It was said that the Buddha statues in the Xiangguo Temple's Mahavira Hall were all carved out from rocks from Liu Village.
Even though it was night now, the sound of rocks being knocked could be heard very far away, shattering the silence of the night.
In a residential house, Huo Lanying monitored for a total of ten minutes. After confirming that no one was chasing after them, he heaved a sigh of relief and sat down.
"Li Xiu truly deserves to die. After my injuries are healed, I will sneak into the prince consort's manor and strangle her to death on the bed!"
Huo Lanying was ruthless.
Just from his appearance alone, he was actually a very handsome young man. However, when he glanced around, he would always exude a baleful aura. Also, he had been leading a team for many years, conducting experiments on human subjects. This caused him to emit an inhuman cold-blooded aura.
"Li Xiu must not be killed!"
A middle-aged man shook his head. He was also a star general under the Corona Starlord. However, he didn't know anything about medicine and mainly focused on combat.
"I don't care. My future is over. That Li Xiu must pay the price."
Huo Lanying's eyes turned red.
After the personal disciples of the Corona Starlord finished their apprenticeship, they would each lead a team and be in charge of a certain topic. Those who did well and obtained great results would be able to receive the full support of the Corona Starlord. In fact, they might even obtain the position of the Corona Starlord.
Huo Lanying was quite intelligent. He used the Longevity Potion to tempt Li Zixing. After that, he borrowed Li Zixing's influence in Jinling to make a name for himself.
There was no lack of funds, medicines, talents, and even the most difficult medicine humans. This also allowed Huo Lanying's experiment to progress extremely quickly.
But now, they were all destroyed.
"Cough cough!"
Because of his anger, Huo Lanying coughed out a few more mouthfuls of blood. Although he had a saint grade artifact and successfully escaped after trapping Li Xiu, he was still injured.
After all, Li Xiu's subordinates were not to be trifled with.
"You rest first, I'll go check the information!"
Huo Lanying's heart was in a mess and he couldn't sleep. Also, this information was the culmination of ten years of hard work. If it was damaged, his heart would definitely ache to death.
"Alright!"
The middle-aged man was also tired. He was covered in blood, so he wanted to go to the courtyard and get some well water to wash up. But as soon as he went out, his ears twitched.
"Which trash is it, to unexpectedly dare follow your Grandpa Star General? Come out and face your death! "
The middle-aged man roared.
Shua!
Huo Lanying also rushed out with his sword.
"We hid so carefully, yet we were discovered?"
Sun Mo was speechless. He felt that he was already very careful and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"They don't rely on their hearing to find people. They rely on a type of perception."
An Xinhui didn't hide anymore. She pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard and walked in.
"It's you?"
Huo Lanying frowned. An Xinhui was the headmaster of the Central Province Academy and was also a beautiful great teacher ranked # 5 on the Devastating Beauty Rankings. She could be said to be a household name in Jinling.
"Teacher An!"
The middle-aged man greeted.
"Don't call me that. You aren't worthy!"
An Xinhui berated.
"Mn?"
The middle-aged man started. After that, he laughed. "Haha, fine. I hope that when you are killed by me later, you will still be so unyielding."
"You are just a stray dog, yet you dare to boast?"
Sun Mo mocked.
"You guys are the ones who discovered my stronghold?"
Huo Lanying's brows were tightly furrowed. He was already feeling angry.
A person like Li Xiu was definitely an expert at monopolizing everything. Hence, if it wasn't for An Xinhui informing Sun Mo, she would definitely not allow them to participate in this operation.
"Cut the crap. Let's fight!"
Sun Mo pulled out his blade. "Sister Xinhui, you deal with the injured one!"
Sun Mo wanted to deal with the middle-aged man.
"No!"
This time around, An Xinhui rejected cleanly. It was impossible for Sun Mo to win against a star general. In fact, Sun Mo might not even be able to deal with the injured young man.
"Kill!"
Huo Lanying shouted and took the initiative to attack.
This place was his second stronghold, and it was extremely hidden. Since Sun Mo and An Xinhui could find it, this meant that he didn't have a safe place to stay.
Hence, he had to either leave Jinling or kill the two of them. If not, he would definitely be found again.
One couldn't help but say that Huo Lanying's considerations were truly very thorough.
"Careful!"
An Xinhui pulled out her sword and darted out, wanting to block Huo Lanying. However, that middle-aged man was like a cannonball, catching up to An Xinhui and punching toward her back.
An Xinhui attacked with Su Qin's sword.
Bang!
The fist and sword collided. An Xinhui borrowed the impact of the middle-aged man's attack to increase her speed.
Upon seeing this scene, Sun Mo roared.
"Idiot, trust me this once!"
His voice was filled with helplessness, heartache, and a hint of unspeakable emotions. Honestly speaking, Sun Mo had never been cared for so much by someone before.
"No!"
An Xinhui shook her head. (Even if I get scolded by you after this, I won't let you take the risk.)
"What should we do then? Are you going to fight one against two? "
Sun Mo executed the Wind King Divine Steps and took the initiative to face Huo Lanying. "I'm also a man. Where is my pride?"
An Xinhui was stunned. This was especially so when she saw Sun Mo's eyes that were as bright as the stars. She suddenly understood.
This was a man who would rather die in battle than to hide behind a woman.
"An Xinhui, I also have my own persistence. Don't make me hate you!"
Sun Mo's tone was solemn. "Also, I will definitely not lose this battle!"
"Damn, she dares to show off her affection before this daddy. This daddy is going to ravage her before your eyes!"
Huo Lanying cursed. The moment his sword slashed out, tens of sword shadows shot out. In the darkness of the night, brilliant lights flashed.
"Be careful then!"
Seeing that it was impossible, An Xinhui gave up and started to fight against the middle-aged man.
After all, the middle-aged man was a star general from the Dark Dawn. She had to do her best.
At this moment, the two battlefields started to fight.
Bzz!
A layer of faint golden light appeared on Sun Mo's body.
Invulnerable Golden Body!
At the same time, the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art was activated. The world before Sun Mo's eyes seemed to have been slowed down.
But even so, Huo Lanying's sword attacks were still astonishingly fast.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The sword and wooden blade collided, causing sparks to fly.
"You do have some capabilities!"
Huo Lanying was surprised. "Oh right, you seem to have ascended to the Great Teachers Hero Rankings? What rank are you? "
"I forgot. I think I'm ranked # 6!"
Sun Mo pretended to be calm. In any case, he mustn't lose in terms of momentum.
"Is that so?"
Huo Lanying's lips twitched as he smiled confidently. "Back then, I was ranked # 1."
(Although I've fought a few battles today and even suffered heavy injuries, there's no problem for me to deal with a junior like you.)
"Let this senior of mine give you some guidance then!"
As Huo Lanying spoke, he suddenly unleashed his ultimate move.
Sword Flash!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Huo Lanying wielded his sword. Each time he pierced out, the sword would suddenly flash explosively and vanish into the night.
However, a single stream of sword qi would kill Sun Mo.
Truthfully speaking, it wasn't that the sword had vanished. It was that it was too flashing, causing the eyes to be unable to adjust to it. It was like a person in a brightly lit room suddenly switching off the lights. They would need some time to adjust to it before they could use the moonlight to see the surroundings clearly.
There were simply too many streams of sword qi.
Sun Mo basically had no way to block all of them.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The sword qi blasted into Sun Mo's body, causing mottled sparks to appear.
"Yo, it's so tough!"
Huo Lanying was surprised. "This is a saint-tier cultivation art, right?"
"Make a guess!"
Sun Mo appeared calm, but he could feel the strain in his heart. Was this the pressure of death brought about by a powerful enemy?
From the start until now, the most dangerous battle Sun Mo had experienced was probably the battle with Daoist White Bird in the Daoist temple.
There was no need to worry about the rest.
But now, the pressure Huo Lanying emitted was ten times more powerful than Daoist White Bird.
"Haha, so what if you are at the saint-tier?"
Huo Lanying's lips twitched. "Let me tell you. I cultivate the Heavenly Sword Art, a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art. Among the myriad of sword arts, it can be ranked in the top ten."
"Why are you boasting if it's not in the top three?"
Sun Mo mocked.
(This daddy's Grand Universe Formless Divine Art is the ultimate divine art of the number one famous school in the Nine Provinces, the Skyraise Academy. Among all the cultivation arts, it can be ranked in the top ten.)
(But am I proud?)
(Also, after this battle ends, I will learn this Heavenly Sword Art of yours.)
But honestly speaking, Sun Mo didn't dare to use Immemorial Vairocana under such an attack. He could only use the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art, Dharma Skyshock Fist, and Prairie Blazing Fire Spear Art alternately. Moreover, most of the time, he would focus on defense.
Huo Lanying was truly strong!
Sun Mo wanted to activate Divine Sight to observe, but he was unable to do so.
"F * ck, is it because I can't use it?"
Sun Mo's lips twitched.
"Huo Lanying, it's so tiring for you to fight against the # 6 ranker on the Great Teachers Hero Rankings. Have you been slacking off during these few years?"
The middle-aged man mocked.
"Sun Mo, be careful. The Heavenly Sword Art is truly a top-notch sword art."
An Xinhui had a heavy look on her face.
Usually speaking, for cultivation arts with impressive names, they would either be cheap goods used to swindle people, or they would be so powerful that they were explosive.
Relying on the heavens and wielding the sword, roaming the world unhindered!
It was referring to this cultivation art.
"In that case, is there a Dragonslayer Saber Art?"
Everyone didn't understand Sun Mo's joke, and they didn't plan to understand it either.
"I no longer wish to hear your noise."
Huo Lanying looked at Sun Mo's body and his lips curled. "Do you think that I won't be able to do anything to you just because you learned a cultivation art similar to the Golden Bell Shield?"
"How naive. My Heavenly Sword Art is the most proficient in breaking through defenses and killing the heart!"
At the instant he spoke, Huo Lanying unleashed another ultimate move.
Sword Dragon Armor Removal!
Roar!
The entire courtyard suddenly rang out with the roar of an ancient giant beast, shaking the air.
