Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 620: Battle with Lu Sheng
Just as Diwu Fusheng was about to speak, he saw Nalan Yiren jump down from the top of the city wall at the South Gate. The bamboo hat on her head fell somewhere and her black hair fluttered in the wind and rain.

After a few rises and falls, Nalan Yiren stopped in front of Chen Mo.

"Miss Nalan, where have you been?" Chen Mo asked puzzledly. Didn't she slip away early?

"I'm lost." Nalan Yiren said calmly.

However, she actually didn't know what she was thinking. When she was halfway through retreating, she suddenly felt that her behavior was quite bad, so she turned back, but Chen Mo had already slipped away.

Chen Mo didn't think much about it and said, "Miss Nalan, I didn't do anything to you just now. I asked you to release your innate spiritual energy just to prove one thing. The spiritual energy was drained away, which should be caused by the Soul Devouring Formation. Now that we are out of the city, this feeling has disappeared immediately."

Nalan Yiren nodded, her face expressionless.

Chen Mo didn't have time to care about her, and said, "Since Miss Nalan is fine, then wait outside the city."

"Do you want to go in again?" Nalan Yiren frowned.

Chen Mo nodded: "Since it is a soul-devouring formation, I absolutely cannot let Lu Sheng break through so easily, otherwise everything will be over."

Chen Mo rushed towards the city.

“But the Soul-Devouring Formation will absorb the innate spiritual energy in your body. The result is that you will become weaker and weaker, and Lu Sheng will become stronger and stronger. No matter how strong you are, you are still only at the level of supernatural powers, and you can never be his opponent.” Nalan Yiren shouted inexplicably.

Chen Mo ignored it, he still had something to prove.

He entered the city without practicing any martial arts, and found that the innate spiritual energy in his body was no longer being forcibly extracted.

He practiced his skills again, releasing his innate spiritual energy. Suddenly, an invisible suction force invaded his body, drawing away the innate spiritual energy in his dantian bit by bit.

However, this is the periphery of the formation, and the speed at which the innate spiritual energy flows is not as fast as it was on Suzaku Street.

Chen Mo quickly withdrew from the city again, stopped practicing his skills, and entered the city gate again. The invisible suction force disappeared again.

He understood something and left the city.

Diwu Fusheng and others saw Chen Mo going in and out continuously and looked puzzled.

Nalan Yiren somehow felt relieved.

But Chen Mo said at this time: "I understand, as long as you don't practice the skills to release the innate spiritual energy in the city, the Soul Devouring Array will not extract the innate spiritual energy in your body."

As he spoke, Chen Mo looked at Diwu Fusheng, Sun Meng and the others, and ordered: "Diwu Fusheng, Jiang Li, follow me into the city immediately, and remember not to practice your skills. Sun Meng, Liu Ji, you stay outside the city to guard the rear. If General Yue and General Wu come over, immediately inform them of what I have discovered."

After saying that, Chen Mo no longer hesitated and rushed into the city.

Diwu Fusheng and Jiang Li followed closely behind, and following Chen Mo's words, they did not practice their skills.

Looking at Chen Mo's departing back, Nalan Yiren opened her mouth but still said nothing.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Chen Mo left, Yue Ruyan and Wu Yanqing came over. They had already guessed that the changes in the city were caused by the Soul-Devouring Array.

Yue Ruyan asked about Chen Mo's situation immediately.

Sun Meng told Yue Ruyan everything he knew and what Chen Mo told him.

Yue Ruyan didn't think twice, picked up her broadsword and ran quickly towards the city.

Wu Yanqing gritted his teeth and went into the city again.

"A bunch of lunatics."

Nalan Yiren whispered coldly, took off her straw raincoat, and went into the city.

"Miss Nalan."

Sun Meng wanted to stop her, after all, the Marquis asked her to stay outside the city, but as soon as he raised his hand, Nalan Yiren disappeared.

……

Suzaku Avenue.

Although Chen Mo left, Chen's army was not in chaos. With their morale at an absolute advantage, even under Xia Zhining's command, Chen's army was about to kill their way through Suzaku Street.

What's more, Xia Zhining has been with the army for such a long time and has grown a lot, and her deployment of troops is no longer just theoretical.

The streets were littered with corpses, piled up layer upon layer, and even if the rain continued, it couldn't wash away the blood.

Although Lu's army was retreating step by step and had almost lost all its courage, they were able to hold on thanks to the supervision team.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded in the Chen army's formation, and a black shadow appeared above the Chen army, holding a Tang sword, and like a Shura from hell, it chiseled into the Lu army.

The soldiers of the Chen army in front suddenly saw a clear view in front of them. The moment the black shadow landed, it killed several people. The enemy's iron shields were like paper in front of the black shadow's knife.

Chen Mo was covered in blood, holding a Tang sword about half a meter long, with his long hair loose, looking indescribably cold.

The soldiers of the Chen army under the name of "Duke Anguo" were shocked.

Xia Zhining, who was giving orders from behind, was also startled. At this moment, she discovered that Jiang Li had also returned, and Diwu Fusheng had also come.

"Where are the Piercing Guards, Fish Scale Guards, Personal Guards, and Rattan Armor Army?"

"exist."

As Chen Mo finished speaking, the soldiers of Chen’s army shouted in unison.

"Follow me and kill!" Chen Mo rushed into Lu's army like a tiger.

The Lu army was only barely holding on with the help of the supervision team. When Chen Mo led the charge, they were immediately thrown to the ground and killed indiscriminately by Chen's army like chopping melons and vegetables.

Under such powerful force, the Lu army no longer dared to resist and fled in all directions.

Chen Mo captured an enemy general and asked where Lu Sheng was.

The other party said he didn’t know.

Seeing his legs shaking like this, Chen Mo probably didn't know.

The other party was afraid that Chen Mo would kill him, so he expressed his guess that Lu Sheng might be in the prime minister's residence and pointed out the direction of the prime minister's residence.

In response to this, Chen Mo practiced his skills and felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy between heaven and earth. He discovered that the direction this person was pointing to had the most agitated and dense innate spiritual energy.

Back in Xialin, after the Soul Devouring Formation was activated, the innate spiritual energy in the Heavenly King Hall built by Yang Minggui was the most restless and rich.

Chen Mo guessed that the Prime Minister's Mansion should be the center of the Soul-Devouring Array.

"General Jiang, Zhining, lead the troops and follow me."

Chen Mo didn't delay any longer. After glancing at the sentence, he jumped directly onto the roof next to him and flew towards the prime minister's residence in a straight line.

If we follow the layout of the city's streets, we will have to take a detour.

After the technique was put into practice, Chen Mo was in a hurry, so he directly performed the Cloud Traveling Step.

After a while, Chen Mo arrived outside the prime minister's residence.

“This is the center of the formation.”

Chen Mo felt that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was converging towards this place.

At the same time, the invisible suction force is getting stronger and stronger.

"who?"

At this time, the Lu army outside the mansion discovered Chen Mo and quickly surrounded him.

Chen Mo did not retreat, but strode towards them.

After taking a few steps in succession, he suddenly started to run quickly. When he was still about three feet away from the gate, he leaped up and swung his knife: "Get out of here!"

A flash of knife appeared in the air.

The Lu army that was surrounding Chen Mo felt a suffocating energy approaching before they could see the specific scene clearly.

The wind and rain between heaven and earth were silent, Lu Jun's footsteps suddenly stopped, and there was a blood line on his neck and waist that was invisible to the naked eye.

Chen Mo landed in front of the gate, and at the moment he landed, there was a "clang clang" sound behind him, and heads and pieces of flesh lost their "stability" and fell to the ground, and weapons also fell to the ground.

"bang"

There was a roar.

The tightly closed door of the Prime Minister's Mansion in front of Chen Mo was also broken open, followed by a panicked sound.

More than a dozen soldiers of the Lu Army guarding behind the gate were cut in half. The moment the gate was broken open, they saw Chen Mo appear in front of them and the corpses on the ground behind Chen Mo. They felt their scalps tingling and their hands holding the knives were shaking.

"Go away"

Chen Mo shouted coldly.

The only response Chen Mo got was the cry of "kill".

They are all Lu Sheng's most trusted soldiers, and they are not so easily frightened.

In this regard, Chen Mo could only start killing.

However, not all of these people are not afraid of death.

After capturing a man and forcing him to tell him whether Lu Sheng was in the mansion and his exact location, Chen Mo did not waste time killing more soldiers. He picked him up and headed straight for the study in the prime minister's mansion.

"This is it." Chen Mo pointed to the study room opposite.

Chen Mo had just put him down when he suddenly felt something.

The next moment, countless hidden arrows shot towards Chen Mo from all directions.

Judging from the sound, Chen Mo knew that these were all shot by powerful crossbows.

Chen Mo did not dodge.

in a blink.

"bang bang bang"

A dull sound was heard around Chen Mo.

The arrows shot from all directions were all blocked by Chen Mo's protective spiritual energy. As for the man who had just been put down by Chen Mo, he was shot into a hedgehog with blood oozing from his mouth.

Chen Mo walked towards the study room step by step under the rain of arrows and shouted coldly: "Lu Sheng, get out here!"

However, this time, the ones who responded to him were the soldiers who filed out of the corridors on both sides.

"come out!"

Chen Mo ignored these trash and instead channeled his innate spiritual energy into the Tang sword in his hand and slashed it towards the study. An invisible and huge sword light swept towards the study.

“Pala.”

There was a loud crackling sound.

The nanmu pillars of the corridors on both sides broke in half under the brutal sword light, and the broken parts turned into debris. Then the sword light continued to chop forward with its remaining force, instantly turning the soldiers on the corridor into mutilated corpses, and finally blasted straight into the study.

Boom…

With a loud bang, the study seemed to have been shaved and split in half. The tables, chairs and desks in the study were all shattered to pieces.

And Lu Sheng, who was absorbing the innate spiritual energy in the study, used his own methods to avoid the terrifying sword light the moment Chen Mo made his move.

The next moment, the study collapsed, dust and smoke rose, and Lu Sheng, who was protected by the domineering aura, appeared in Chen Mo's sight, holding a Fang Tian Huaji.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be Chen Mo. You're really young."

Lu Sheng didn't take any action, but started chatting with Chen Mo instead.

Chen Mo swung out with his sword, but was blocked by Lu Sheng holding his Fang Tian Hua Ji, as if he was not under any pressure at all.

Lu Sheng did not take the opportunity to fight back, but sneered: "I really didn't expect that if I didn't go to find you, you would dare to come to me, and come to me alone. You are really young and frivolous."

Chen Mo frowned.

Lu Sheng's strength has increased from 3989+99 to 4650+99.

On the surface, he is far superior to Chen Mo.

On the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chen Mo's own strength dropped by more than two hundred, and now it is only a little over four thousand.

Lu Sheng was very satisfied with Chen Mo's expression.

Before, at the East Gate, Lu Sheng was beaten by Chen Mo.

But the next second, Lu Sheng's face became serious.

You know, it's not spring yet, it's raining, and the weather is still very cold.

But this chill was instantly replaced by heat, with white smoke rising all around, which was the mist produced by the evaporation of rainwater.

A huge purple sun, several meters in size, was suspended in the air behind Chen Mo.

As soon as they met, Chen Mo started to display his supernatural powers.

As Chen Mo's supernatural powers were activated, his own strength also exploded.

When you first enter the realm of supernatural powers, as long as you activate your supernatural powers, your own strength will instantly increase by one or two hundred.

After entering the second level of divine transformation, the power of this magical power naturally increased exponentially.

If Lu Sheng also had a system, he would be able to see a red number “4550+370” on Chen Mo’s forehead.

And these 370 points are naturally added by the martial arts Great Sun Yiqi Zhan.

You know, the most basic Tianhe Dao Da has broken through many levels and evolved into the current Dayi Yiqi Zhan (intermediate).

Chen Mo didn't say a word to Lu Shengduo.

"Crack."

With a crisp sound, the floor tiles under Chen Mo's feet shattered instantly. The Tang sword in his hand emitted a line of white light, and his body moved like a swimming dragon with a strange pace, approaching Lu Sheng, obviously wanting to end the battle quickly.

Feeling Chen Mo's sudden increase in strength, the relief on Lu Sheng's face suddenly disappeared. He swung the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand behind him, and a huge golden giant suddenly appeared.

Afterwards, Lu Sheng pointed the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand towards Chen Mo, and the golden giant holding the huge Fang Tian Hua Ji swung towards Chen Mo.

Chen Mo, who was less than nine feet tall, looked particularly small in front of this golden giant.

However, Lu Sheng did not leave the study room, and the center of the formation was still providing him with rich innate spiritual energy.

Although there is still a long way to go before a breakthrough, I can definitely fight with Chen Mo.

But Chen Mo ignored Lu Sheng's magical powers and continued to head towards Lu Sheng's real body.

Just when the golden giant's Fang Tian Hua Ji was about to chop Chen Mo.

A huge purple sun, like a meteorite, smashed heavily on the golden giant, knocking it back several feet. Wisps of purple flames also attached to the golden giant's body, burning and incinerating him, making the golden giant become more and more illusory.

When Lu Sheng saw this scene, his eyelids twitched. After seeing Chen Mo's movements, he leaped up, launched an attack first, and stabbed Chen Mo with a halberd in the air.

Chen Mo raised his sword and held it horizontally. After hearing a "clang" sound, he suddenly exerted force with both arms and knocked Lu Sheng out of the "center of the formation".

Just like in Xia Lin, this Soul Devouring Formation does not recognize anyone at all. The absorbed innate spiritual energy will be provided to whoever is at the center of the formation.

Lu Sheng's power increase came to an abrupt halt, and was replaced by Chen Mo's power increasing little by little.

Lu Sheng noticed this scene and without stopping, he held the Fang Tian Huaji in his right hand upside down, creating a golden shadow under the rain, and instantly rushed in front of Chen Mo, trying to force Chen Mo back.

Chen Mo remained motionless and chose to confront Lu Sheng head-on.

After just a few rounds, Lu Sheng fell into a disadvantage.
