"Compromise! Li Mo has actually been forced to this extent!"
The crowd trembled at the thought. The powerful Li Mo, after unleashing his Vital Energy trump card, led everyone to believe that Fang Chen was doomed. When Liu Songtao arrived, many even suspected that Fang Chen would be completely annihilated today.
However, the outcome was beyond everyone's expectations.
Faced with Li Mo's compromise and veiled plea for mercy, Fang Chen coldly uttered four words: "So what?"
Fang Chen sneered. It seemed that Li Mo was thinking too simply. He wanted to fight, and previously tried to block him, even surrounding him. But now that he realized he couldn't win, he thought a simple statement of withdrawal would suffice?
It couldn't be that easy. If it were, wouldn't everyone just come to trample on him? If they couldn't succeed, they could just withdraw midway—was that possible?
Fang Chen had never been a pushover. He repaid grievances in kind; if you wanted to kill me, I would naturally have to slay you! No matter what you say, it all ends in death!
"Spare me, and I can tell you who wanted us to surround you." Seeing the murderous intent rolling in Fang Chen's eyes and the World-Ending Millstone still pressing down from above, Li Mo's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly spoke. In his desperation to save his life, he no longer cared about anything else.
"Li Mo! What are you talking about?!" From a distance, a furious shout came from Liu Songtao in the Blood Lake. Although temporarily entangled by the Blood Sword River and unable to intervene, he could still clearly sense the movements between Fang Chen and Li Mo.
He knew very well that if Li Mo revealed Song Tian, things would become complicated. If they managed to surround Fang Chen in the Seven Colored Divine Realm, it might be fine; however, if they failed, not only would they face Fang Chen's furious retaliation, but they could also incur the wrath of Song Tian. In such a situation where neither side would be pleased, death would be their only fate.
Yet now, facing a life-and-death crisis, Li Mo could hardly care about any of that. Ignoring Liu Songtao's angry shouts, he kept his gaze fixed on Fang Chen, urgently saying, "I have treasures stored within the Sect. They are the accumulation of my lifetime's worth of effort, originally meant for breaking through to the Primordial Embryo Realm. Now I can give them all to you... all of them..."
"It's too late. Since you want to kill me, you should have anticipated the consequences."
Fang Chen's indifferent voice sent a shiver through the crowd. A thunderous roar echoed at that moment as the World-Ending Millstone tore through Li Mo's protective Vital Energy, descending completely.
"Don't... ah..."
A desperate scream echoed as Li Mo looked up at the gray-black millstone above him, despair evident in his eyes. Within that despair lay regret. Relying on his trump card of Vital Energy, he had originally thought he could act recklessly among the Outer Sect Disciples. Surrounding someone who hadn't even broken into the Alchemy Realm, a mere Little One, seemed like an easy task. Little did he know he would fail—and the price of that failure was his complete downfall.
Death had inevitably arrived!
With the thunderous grinding sound, Li Mo was completely crushed into powder starting from the top of his head.
Li Mo disappeared, and on the ground where he once stood, a glaring pool of bright red appeared. A sharp smell of blood began to waft through the air.
He was dead!
Li Mo, at the Late Stage of Transformation Realm and possessing the powerful trump card of Vital Energy, had died just like that, crushed to death by Fang Chen's World-Ending Millstone, leaving no trace behind!
The outcome was so unexpected and shocking that many people still hadn't fully recovered from the shock.
A detached gaze shifted from the bloodstain left by Li Mo to Liu Songtao, who was entangled in Blood River and looked like he was about to break free.
Fang Chen frowned slightly, then moved his body and began walking towards Liu Songtao.
Having killed Li Mo, was he really going to slay Liu Songtao as well?
Seeing this scene, the crowd, still reeling from Li Mo's tragic death, trembled once more in their hearts.
So fierce, so Frenzy, so decisive in killing!
The crowd marveled, while in Blood River, Liu Songtao watched Fang Chen approaching him with a twitching eye. Although they were both at the Late Stage of Transformation Realm, he knew very well that without having cultivated Vital Energy, his true combat power was still far inferior to Li Mo's. If even Li Mo had died at Fang Chen's hands, could he still be a match?
In a flash of thought, Liu Songtao tore through Blood River without saying a word and transformed into a long rainbow fleeing far away. His appearance was as desperate as it could be, seemingly afraid that if he delayed even a moment longer, he would follow in Li Mo's footsteps.
Uh...
Watching Liu Songtao flee in such a disheveled manner, the crowd initially did not react. After a moment, seeing Liu Songtao already far away with only his back visible, murmurs of astonishment spread through the crowd.
As a seasoned powerhouse among the Outer Sect Disciples, Liu Songtao, at the Late Stage of Transformation Realm, found himself unable to even make a move against Fang Chen and fled in utter embarrassment. This left everyone in shock, no less than when Fang Chen had previously crushed Li Mo.
"He's finally gone." With his back to the crowd, Fang Chen watched Liu Songtao's figure gradually fade from view, leaving only a blurry silhouette. A hint of pale color flashed across his handsome face.
Although it appeared to everyone that Fang Chen had been overwhelmingly strong throughout the encounter, ultimately crushing Li Mo, he was well aware that despite breaking through to the Qi Boundary and significantly boosting his combat power, he did not hold a substantial advantage against Li Mo, who had already cultivated a trace of Vital Energy.
The unexpected outcome was due to several factors. On one hand, Fang Chen had unleashed all of his strength in a short period; on the other hand, he had somewhat taken advantage of Li Mo's underestimation.
It was this combination that led to his brilliant victory. However, even so, the cost to Fang Chen himself was considerable. At the very least, the severe depletion of Qi Energy within him was insufficient to support another intense life-and-death battle.
"It's time to leave." Scanning his surroundings with his vast Divine Consciousness, he sensed four others approaching rapidly, including Song Nanfeng. Fang Chen spoke softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he did not linger for a moment and swiftly transformed into a streak of light, disappearing from everyone's sight.
Half a minute after Fang Chen left, five figures shot in from the distant sky one after another.
