Buzz——
The giant sword tore through the air, roaring as it smashed towards the two.
The statue was constructed from Demon-breaking Stone, towering several yards high. The heavy sword carried massive force, akin to Mount Tai toppling, causing skin to sting with intense winds even before making contact!
"Mr. Chen, be careful!" Yu Hongyin exclaimed in shock.
However, Chen Mo quickly regained composure after a brief moment of surprise.
His dark eyes remained calm and undisturbed, without any intention of dodging. He raised his hand and firmly intercepted the sword’s edge.
Boom——
Sweeping force cascaded down, causing the ground under Chen Mo’s feet to cave into a deep pit, yet he remained unmoved!
The red light flickered under the giant’s helmet, seemingly confused.
It raised a hand attempting to retrieve the heavy sword but found it could not move at all, despite exerting great effort.
"Luring me here with such elaborate schemes, but only to showcase this level of skill?" Chen Mo scoffed, applying force with his fingertips. Accompanied by a crackling sound, cracks spread across the hard Demon-breaking Stone.
Then it shattered abruptly, sending shards flying!
Realizing things were amiss, the giant discarded the sword hilt, and with both hands suddenly clasped, it tried to smash him into pulp.
However, Chen Mo moved far faster than it expected, his figure flashing and abruptly disappearing from view.
The giant caught a glimpse of a shadow from the corner of its eye. As it turned its head, it saw Chen Mo suspended in the air, extending his right hand and flicking a finger against its forehead—
Boom——
The head instantly shattered!
Simultaneously, a burst of red light dissipated swiftly, and the massive body seemed to lose its support, collapsing grandly like a mountain being pushed over!
"This..."
Yu Hongyin stared blankly at the scene.
This tunnel, deep underground, was covered with thick layers of Demon-breaking Stone, void of any Primordial Qi.
This meant that the techniques Chen Mo employed were not Divine Skills or Daoist Skill, but purely physical strength!
Could there really be someone in this world who managed to temper their body to such an extent?
As soon as Chen Mo landed, a thunderous roar echoed.
Around them, statues of ferocious beasts and warriors all "came to life," their eyes glowing red, moving stiff joints as stones crumbled along their bodies.
"Mr. Chen, what do we do now?"
Yu Hongyin looked at those terrifying giants, her face tense.
In this land of Forbidden Skill, she was almost no different from an ordinary person, a flying piece of debris could easily end her life.
Once the puppet was destroyed, the insects would transform into blood and quickly vanish.
Chen Mo relied on his astonishing Vision Power to detect some clues.
Even though he had mastered the "Gu Scripture," he couldn’t find any matching Gu Poison Worm. It seemed likely that Wu Lie had cultivated these himself.
Thus, it can explain why the Gu God Sect continued to commit evil and wreak havoc but remained unremoved, even linking with the Xuan Armor Guard... Wu Lie might very well be pulling strings behind the scenes.
"Mr. Chen, what is going on?"
Even if Yu Hongyin was slow to react, she could see that this investigation was not about solving a missing person case.
Excavating such a large-scale tunnel underground in the Capital City and utilizing vast amounts of Demon-breaking Stone is beyond the capability of ordinary people!
So who is truly behind it?
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "I’ll explain it to you slowly later, now is not the time for talking. Let’s leave here first."
He knew well that Wu Lie’s tactics wouldn’t end there, the next move would likely follow.
From the situation, it was evident that Yu Hongyin’s identity was already exposed, and the women taken from Jade Building were merely a decoy. Their real aim was to lure him here.
With only three days left until the Creation Golden Pill is refined.
Once the pill is completed, and Her Majesty the Consort is free, Wu Lie’s chances of victory will become even slimmer. He must seize this last opportunity.
"It seems my decision was correct, the Eightfold Exorcism Array is the key to everything. The progress of breaking the array is accelerating rapidly, Wu Lie has already grown restless..."
