First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 94: Fierce Battle

"Shen Mo, come out!"

"At the entrance of the ruins, there are already people there, they want to go in!"

Just as Shen Mo was troubled by the fact that the hidden mouse was still asleep, a voice transmission talisman on his body suddenly transmitted Cao Ren's voice.

"Someone is here?"

His face darkened, and he quickly used the voice transmission talisman to ask, "How many people are there?"

"More than twenty people, they should all be disciples of the Ghost Corpse Sect, each wearing black robes and carrying coffins on their backs."

"I dare not get close, judging from their appearance, they obviously want to enter the ruins to search for treasures. Don't let them discover you."

"If there is a place to escape in the ruins, then escape! Don't confront them head-on, these people don't seem friendly."

More than twenty disciples of the Ghost Corpse Sect?

Shen Mo's heart sank.

This is troublesome.

The disciples of the outer sect rely on their numbers, and if they encounter them, they will definitely not easily let him take away the things.

If he wants to escape smoothly, either he walks out head-on and defeats these people on his own.

Or he hides from them and tries not to be discovered.

As for escaping, there is simply no other passage in this ruins.

"For now, don't leave. Hopefully, they won't discover this place."

Shen Mo paced back and forth in the secret room, but in the end, he chose not to rush out.

Although Shen Mo's strength has increased after condensing the Dragon Body, he still only has the confidence to defeat more than ten cultivators of the same level.

There are twenty disciples from the Ghost Corpse Sect, and there may even be outstanding geniuses among them.

Confronting them head-on is not the best choice.

Although the prohibition in this secret room has been broken, there are still illusions and tricks.

These people may not be able to find it.

Inside the passage of the Barbarian Bull Venerable's ruins.

Under the leadership of Xun Tian and Li Chen, the two shining stars of the new generation of the Ghost Corpse Sect, the disciples of the Ghost Corpse Sect arrived at the corridor.

When they looked down and saw the magnificent and grand palace of the ruins, they were just as ecstatic as Shen Mo before.

"It seems that our luck on this trip is truly extraordinary!"

"To be able to leave behind such a huge ruin, its owner must have been a powerful cultivator above the Spirit Sea Realm. As long as it hasn't been looted, the treasures left in the ruins, even if they are divided among our entire team, everyone will be able to return with a full load!"

Xun Tian glanced at the excited disciples and ordered, "Go to the various fighting rooms and side halls to search. If you find any treasures, you can take one, but don't hide any for yourself. Give them all to me and I will distribute them later."

"As for the main hall, Li Chen and I will go and take a look."

Xun Tian looked at the thin man beside him, who also emitted a strong aura.

Usually, the main hall of a ruin contains the most precious treasures.

He and Li Chen are both the strongest geniuses of the new generation of the Ghost Corpse Sect.

They tied for first place in the recent competition of the Ghost Corpse Sect.

He relied on a complete corpse puppet that had undergone four heavenly sacrifices and had the potential to reach the Spirit Sea Realm.

Li Chen, on the other hand, possessed a dark attribute spiritual body and cultivated multiple high-level immortal techniques.

No one in the entire team dared to oppose them going to explore the main hall.

"We will follow Senior Xun's orders."

The disciples of the Ghost Corpse Sect respectfully responded.

Afterwards, they excitedly entered one after another and rushed into various places to search for treasures.

But half an hour later, inside the main hall of the ruins.

The crowd gathered again, each with a gloomy expression.

"We thought we were lucky to encounter an undeveloped ruin, but we didn't expect that all the treasures had been looted!"

"What bad luck."

The disciples of the Ghost Corpse Sect were all disappointed, but at this moment, Li Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he murmured, "There is a cultivator's aura in the southwest direction, and the aura is righteous, not cultivating our Ghost Corpse Sect's techniques."

"There are people from other sects who have entered ahead of us."

What?

Xun Tian and the others were taken aback.

On the other side, in the secret room.

Shen Mo cautiously used his divine sense to observe the movements of the Ghost Corpse Sect disciples.

When he felt that they were moving towards the secret room, he lost the last trace of hope.

It seems that he can't escape.

He clenched the Dragon Sparrow Sword in his hand, preparing for the worst.

"Step, step, step."

Footsteps approached from far away.

Finally, Xun Tian, Li Chen, and others, along with many disciples of the Ghost Corpse Sect, found the secret room.

"It turns out someone got here first."

When Xun Tian saw Shen Mo, his face lit up, and he also admired Li Chen's perception ability.

"You are a disciple of the Linjiang Sect, right?"

"In this ruin, how much have you taken?"

As soon as they saw Shen Mo's attire, the disciples of the Ghost Corpse Sect recognized his identity.

"What does it have to do with you how I fare here?"

Shen Mo put the Spirit-Hiding Rat into his sleeve and said indifferently, "If you fellow Daoists want to search for treasures, go elsewhere."

The road diverged, each going their own way.

Shen Mo didn't want to conflict with them, but he would never allow them to threaten him.

Can't win, won't you run?

"I see that this ruin is not small in scale and full of momentum. There should be great opportunities inside."

Li Chen smiled faintly, "You alone can't handle these opportunities."

"If you hand over the many treasures you're looking for, we won't trouble you."

He didn't threaten what would happen if he didn't hand them over.

But the situation was already obvious.

"It seems that there's only one battle left."

These disciples of the Ghost Corpse Sect were different from the Yan Yue Sect members who had previously robbed Shen Mo.

There were many more of them.

And Shen Mo faintly felt that the strength of the two leaders far exceeded the normal level of the First Stage of Qi Gathering Realm.

He alone couldn't fight against a group of enemies and had little confidence.

But at this moment, there was no room for compromise.

After all, even if he handed over what they were looking for, these guys wouldn't necessarily believe that he only took things from the secret chamber.

By then, unless he was forced to crush the teleportation talisman and leave, he wouldn't be able to take away the many spiritual medicines he had harvested in the past few days.

Instead of that, he might as well give it a try.

"You have quite the courage, planning to clash with our entire team alone?"

"It seems that the treasures you obtained are too precious, causing you to be blinded by greed and unable to distinguish your own weight."

Xun Tian and Li Chen exchanged a glance, and instead of being angry, they were even more convinced that Shen Mo was hiding the valuable treasures he had collected in this ruin.

As for his unwillingness to hand over the treasures, it was not a big deal in Xun Tian and the others' eyes.

How could the elite team of the Ghost Corpse Sect let him escape alone?

"Kill him!"

At this moment of tension, Shen Mo suddenly drew his sword, breaking the deadlock.

Amidst the surging sword light, a torrent of spiritual power swept up.

Taking a step forward, Shen Mo approached the three disciples of the Ghost Corpse Sect and instantly blasted them away with his sword energy.

"Damn it!"

Others saw that Shen Mo actually had the courage to take the initiative and couldn't contain their anger.

"Capture him!"

For a moment, the remaining twenty or so people used various means to attack Shen Mo.

Blade Qi, sword intent, spear radiance, wind, thunder, water, fire, all kinds of Dao techniques were unleashed.

Faced with the momentum created by these various attacks, even Shen Mo's scalp tingled.

"My body, although comparable to a beast of the same level, can't withstand such power."

"I need to fight and retreat, find an opportunity to escape!"

With a single sword, Shen Mo swiftly moved through the secret chamber, rushing towards the exit passage.

After dispelling most of the attacks with his sword radiance, Shen Mo withstood several attacks.

His whole body had already rushed out of the enclosed secret chamber.

"Trying to run!"

Xun Tian saw his intention and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, his whole aura suddenly changed.

"This aura is far from ordinary Qi Gathering Realm, it must be one of the top talents of the Ghost Corpse Sect."

After sensing Xun Tian's aura, Shen Mo's heart trembled.

He exerted force with both hands, and with a "crack," the earth escape talisman that had been prepared long ago shattered.

In the next instant, Shen Mo's figure turned into a stream of sand and dissipated in place.

"Earth escape talisman? Chase after him, we must not let this kid escape!"

Li Chen and the other disciples of the Ghost Corpse Sect saw Shen Mo's figure dissipate and immediately became furious, chasing after him.

And Shen Mo, using the earth escape talisman, appeared at the entrance of the ruin.

"Dragon Sparrow Sword, Flying Escape!"

Leaving the passage of the ruin, the outside world suddenly opened up. Shen Mo used a single sword move, directly turning into a stream of light and fleeing.

With green light and purple electricity, he soared into the sky like a brilliant meteor.

Behind him, streams of light followed closely, obviously the disciples of the Ghost Corpse Sect chasing after him.

"I don't know if I can escape."

"But I have to try!"

Shen Mo glanced at the dense rainbows behind him, his scalp tingling.

Regardless of whether it would work or not, he stuck all eight light body talismans remaining in his Qiankun Bag all over his body.
