While he was still in shock, a piece of jade that was originally on Yun Mo's belt floated above his head.
The circle of golden light was projected by that piece of jade.
It was obvious that the piece of jade was a treasure that could automatically protect its owner. It had only released its power to protect Yun Mo when it sensed danger.
Without that piece of jade, Yun Mo would have been seriously injured even if he didn't die.
The sudden activation of the Life-Severing Dagger was supposed to have an extremely powerful sneak attack effect, but it didn't succeed. Xiao Lingyu naturally felt that it was a pity.
However, Xiao Lingyu launched another attack after his first attack failed.
Similarly, a chaotic blade aura whizzed out. Just as it appeared, it had already slammed into the golden light barrier.
However, the golden light barrier's defensive power was extremely strong. Even though the blade aura was formed from chaotic origin power, it could only explode after coming into contact with the golden light barrier. It could only send Yun Mo's body flying once again.
Yun Mo's face immediately turned pale after being hit by the powerful force. He spat out blood, but he wasn't seriously injured.
"That dagger has some tricks up its sleeve. It seems to have a time-related ability. The attack had clearly just been launched, but it had already reversed space-time and directly entered the future to cause damage," Uncle Tuo commented with narrowed eyes.
"No wonder you said he would win." Sang Zhi didn't quite understand, but he still nodded.
"Hehe, when I said that he would win, I wasn't referring to this short blade. Previously, I didn't know that he had this short blade. He should have a very powerful divine ability," Tuo Bo said with a smile.
"What ability?" Sang Zhi asked curiously.
"Perhaps he will use it in a while. Let's wait and see." Uncle Tuo didn't directly answer Sang Zhi's question.
Before Xiao Lingyu could attack again, Yun Mo had already taken out a talisman paper.
The talisman paper was dark green and had many runes drawn on it. As soon as it appeared, it suddenly exploded, causing a dark green glow to envelop Yun Mo's entire body.
Following that, Yun Mo began to move at a high speed. Her speed was actually much faster than before.
Xiao Lingyu kept waving the Life-Severing Dagger to attack, but Yun Mo didn't stop. Xiao Lingyu's realm wasn't higher than Yun Mo's, so the Life-Severing Dagger couldn't lock onto Yun Mo. Naturally, it couldn't hit Yun Mo.
After making the Life-Severing Dagger's attack ineffective, Yun Mo waved the long sword in her hand while moving at high speed, occasionally attacking Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu's speed was only comparable to Yun Mo's even with the help of the Wings of Extreme Speed. Yun Mo was clearly more cautious than before, and the Life-Severing Dagger was no longer effective against her.
However, Yun Mo's attacks were no longer continuous because she was afraid of Xiao Lingyu's Life-Severing Dagger.
At this moment, the battle between the two of them was in a stalemate. They were already evenly matched.
Xiao Lingyu had experienced countless bloody battles and was very experienced in battle. His battle awareness was also very high. He naturally wouldn't wait for his opponent to use any more powerful divine abilities or techniques. As he flapped his Wings of Extreme Speed and moved at high speed, he took out various materials and threw them into the void.
In just a few seconds, Xiao Lingyu suddenly shouted loudly. Then, rolling thick fog appeared out of nowhere and instantly enveloped a large area of the surrounding space.
Under the cover of the thick fog, wind howled and thunder roared. Fire and lightning intertwined to create a frightening and dangerous glow.
Xiao Lingyu couldn't set up any particularly powerful formations in a short period of time. However, he was an expert in the Dao of Formations after all. Even this simple formation was enough to give him a slight advantage. At least he wouldn't be affected by the formation.
A simple Wind and Thunder Formation had the power to gather the wind and thunder energy between heaven and earth.
The extreme speed of the wind and the ferocity of the thunder both affected Yun Mo greatly, causing his speed to drop significantly. He was also unable to see Xiao Lingyu's position clearly.
Yun Mo's speed had dropped, so the power of the Life-Severing Dagger was naturally able to take effect.
Streaks of chaotic light shot out from the Life-Severing Dagger. However, as soon as Yun Mo saw the streaks of light, they had already landed heavily on the golden barrier around him.
Bang, bang, bang! Accompanied by the howling of the wind and the roaring of the thunder, Yun Mo's expression became uglier and uglier. Blood dripped from the corners of his mouth.
Xiao Lingyu didn't attack blindly. Occasionally, he would stop attacking and continue to strengthen the formation or set up some other formations.
As a result, Yun Mo was constantly restricted within the formation. He was unable to unleash his full strength. The more he fought, the more frustrated he became.
On one hand, Yun Mo's cultivation speed wasn't slow. On the other hand, he spent a large amount of time and energy honing his fighting instincts and techniques. Naturally, he didn't know much about the Dao of Restrictive Formations. His current method of breaking through formations was to use brute force. Unfortunately, this method was a little too costly.
What Xiao Lingyu was expending was nothing more than some formation materials. He set up the formation extremely quickly. Yun Mo couldn't rely on breaking through the formation to escape and turn the tables.
"Alright, I admit defeat!" Yun Mo said dejectedly.
Yun Mo's voice was restricted by the formation. Xiao Lingyu could hear it, but the cultivators outside couldn't.
"Admit defeat? Haha. "
Xiao Lingyu only smiled. However, the formation didn't stop. His attacks were still ongoing.
"You fight as you wish and leave as you wish. How can there be such a good deal!"
"Those who humiliated my parents will be killed without mercy!"
Xiao Lingyu wasn't a gentleman, nor was he a broad-minded person. He was even more petty than anyone when it came to certain matters.
If someone stabbed him with a sword, he might be able to tolerate it. However, if someone insulted his family, he couldn't tolerate it!
When he decided to stand out and fight Yun Mo one-on-one, he had already decided that Yun Mo would die today!
The jade tablet above Yun Mo's head had already dimmed. The golden light barrier around him had also become much thinner. The dark green light around him that could greatly increase his speed had also weakened greatly.
Yun Mo's defense and speed were both decreasing. He gradually lost the ability to fight Xiao Lingyu.
"You actually want to kill me!" Yun Mo finally realized the danger he was in.
Xiao Lingyu didn't reply. He only continued to attack with the Life-Severing Dagger as he strengthened the formation.
"Hmph!"
Yun Mo snorted coldly. With a thought, a silver-grey bead appeared in his hand.
Xiao Lingyu could tell that the silver-grey bead wasn't simple. It might very well be Yun Mo's trump card. Therefore, he didn't give Yun Mo any more time or opportunity. He made a prompt decision and focused all of the formation's power on Yun Mo. Meanwhile, he opened the vertical eye between his brows.
When Yun Mo's speed was reduced to the lowest possible level by the formation, a destructive bloody light suddenly shot out and accurately hit Yun Mo's head.
Bang!
Boom …
There was first an explosion, followed by another earth-shattering explosion.
The explosion was caused by Yun Mo's head exploding. The earth-shattering explosion was caused by the explosion of the silver-grey bead.
A blinding silver light flashed, and a powerful shockwave instantly swept out in all directions. Not only did it sweep away Xiao Lingyu's formation, it also violently rushed out of the battlefield.
The Yun Family guards were all pushed several hundred feet away.
Uncle Tuo was the first to release his own aura to block the shockwave, protecting the Sang Family cultivators and Miling.
Apart from Yun Mo, whose body had already been blown to pieces, Xiao Lingyu was the cultivator closest to the center of the explosion. Naturally, he had to endure the most powerful shockwave.
He only saw a silver light flash in front of his eyes. Then, an irresistible force rushed towards him. The violent spatial energy released by the explosion of the silver-grey bead was like countless sharp swords piercing towards him. Not only was Xiao Lingyu's body sent flying, but he also felt waves of intense pain coming from all over his body.
Xiao Lingyu didn't know how much blood he had spat out as he flew backwards. He only knew that his body was riddled with holes, and many of his bones were probably broken.
However, even though he was heavily injured, he still had his life. Yun Mo had definitely been obliterated in both body and soul!
When the shockwave washed over him, Miling immediately flew out and steadied Xiao Lingyu's flying body.
As for the Yun Family guards, they were searching everywhere for traces of Yun Mo.
"Are you alright?" Miling asked with concern.
"Haha, do I look like I'm alright?" Xiao Lingyu laughed bitterly.
That burst of energy just now had swept away the fog formed by the formation. Now, the surroundings were very clear, but the battlefield was already empty.
Where had Yun Mo gone?
Apart from Xiao Lingyu and Uncle Tuo, the other cultivators didn't know what had happened to Yun Mo.
"Where's our Third Young Master?" a Yun Family guard asked coldly.
"What a joke. How would we know where your Third Young Master is?" Sang Zhi also arrived in front of Xiao Lingyu and replied unhappily.
The Yun Family guards all felt that something was amiss. They could all guess the result, and all of them became nervous.
If Yun Mo was really dead, then they would definitely be severely punished when they returned. After all, they were Yun Mo's guards.
"Your family's Third Young Master wanted to detonate a silver-gray pearl to kill me. In the end, an accident happened. Although the pearl exploded, it exploded right next to him. Perhaps he hasn't mastered the method of using the pearl. After the pearl exploded, I was sent flying. As for what happened to your Third Young Master, I really don't know, "Xiao Lingyu said gloomily and helplessly.
The Yun Family guards' expressions were unsettled.
"Why are you still standing here foolishly? Why aren't you going back to report the death?" Sang Zhi seemed to kindly remind them.
The Yun Family guards stared at Xiao Lingyu for a while, then saw that Uncle Tuo was also standing next to Xiao Lingyu. They were clearly in a dilemma.
"This person is related to our Third Young Master's disappearance. We must bring him back to the Yun Family!" a Yun Family guard braced himself and said.
"Since your Third Young Master is missing, why aren't you going to look for him?"
Sang Zhi continued, "As for him, he was injured by your Third Young Master's vicious technique. We have to send him back to recuperate."
With that, Sang Zhi didn't waste any more words. He immediately led everyone back to Gourd City.
The Yun Family guards still stood in front of the Sang Family cultivators, looking very determined.
"Fine, I'll give you some confidence to go back."
Uncle Tuo attacked, but only used his aura to injure the Yun Family guards.
