The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3138 A Desolate Scene
"Ah! Damn it, I'm going to kill you!" The shadowy figure, Du Xing, roared at Chen Mo.

The attack on his mental sea of ​​consciousness was causing him immense pain, but there was no way to defend against it unless he possessed a mental sea defense magic treasure or spiritual artifact, in which case he wouldn't need to defend his mental sea. If he didn't have that, then having a stronger mental sea of ​​consciousness would also suffice.

However, Chen Mo repeatedly threw the giant snake into the livestock area to let it feel the spiritual pressure of that huge figure, so now the giant snake's spiritual sea is almost approaching the strength of Chen Mo's spiritual sea.

Furthermore, this guy's mental attack seems to be something he was born with, a special racial talent.

When they first encountered this giant serpent in the underground lake, it used its mental spikes on Chen Mo, almost causing him to suffer. After so much training, the serpent's mental spikes have naturally become even more powerful.

Although the spiritual sea of ​​consciousness was severely suppressed throughout the valley, there was no way to weaken the spiritual strength. Therefore, the serpent's spiritual spike attack remained extremely powerful.

In this way, if the shadowy figure Du Xing wanted to rush over, he would have to withstand the attack of the mental spikes first.

Chen Mo took out a bottle of mental energy replenishing pills, threw it into the giant snake's mouth, and transmitted his voice: "Eat it to replenish your mental energy. Don't stop attacking, keep going!"

The giant snake had just launched several mental attacks, so its mental sea hadn't been depleted much. Therefore, it became excited after consuming the pill Chen Mo threw over.

Seeing that the mental thorns were effective and could even enrage the red-eyed guy, they were naturally overjoyed.

I'll stab! I'll stab!
The giant snake was overjoyed and began to unleash mental attacks on the shadowy figure!

The mental spikes attacked him every few seconds, preventing the shadowy figure from moving forward and forcing him to constantly concentrate on dealing with the incoming mental spikes.

The fifty-odd strange beasts were also brought under the control of Chen Mo's formation.

After repeated mental attacks more than ten times, the shadowy figure finally lost its mind and began to recklessly try to break through the array barrier in order to kill Chen Mo!
Immediately, he recklessly swung the stick, smashing it wildly at the barrier. After being hit by the mental spikes, he tried to neutralize them and then continued swinging the stick.

Seeing that the shadowy figure had gone mad, Chen Mo smiled slightly, finally realizing that this moment had arrived.

Immediately, as the giant snake launched another mental attack, Chen Mo threw the lightning sword he was holding.

The shadowy figure continued to swing its staff, striking the array barrier. After being attacked by the mental spikes, its body momentarily froze. But at that very moment, Chen Mo had already thrown the Thunder Sword to the shadowy figure's chest.

With a "clang!", the handle of the Thunder Sword was struck by the Jade Sword, and the force propelled it directly into the chest of the dark figure.

Because of the shadowy figure's strong skin defense, the lightning sword only penetrated a very small depth.

Fortunately, the wound caused by the jade sword allowed the thunder sword to penetrate a little deeper along the wound.

However, none of that mattered. With a thought, Chen Mo summoned the jade sword, which flew back to him. Then, he uttered a single word: "Explode!"

The Thunder Sword instantly detonated, unleashing a massive burst of lightning. In an instant, the area centered on the shadowy figure was filled with this lightning attack.

The shadowy figure withstood the mental attack, and upon regaining consciousness, felt something piercing its chest, accompanied by a powerful aura of lightning. The rage in its head subsided slightly, and it thought, "Damn it!"

Unfortunately, it was too late; they were instantly enveloped by the lightning attack.

Chen Mo, however, directly activated the formation, shrinking it to form a defensive barrier, protecting him and the giant snake layer by layer. Although the giant snake was enormous, when it coiled up, it didn't take up much space in the middle, so under the layers of protection of the formation, there wasn't much of a problem.

He won't take out the Qiankun Pearl now and put the giant snake into it.

After all, the shadowy figure, who possessed the cultivation of the Golden Core stage, was right in front of him. If he were to actually take out the Qiankun Pearl, he might not even know how he died.

The Qiankun Pearl is his biggest trump card, and he cannot expose it to others.

Even with the protection of the formation, it wasn't enough. Chen Mo took out his golden cloak again and covered his and the giant snake's heads. As for the giant snake's body, there was nothing he could do but leave it like that for now.

In fact, all the attacks were for the purpose of this Thunder Sword attack.

After being discovered by the shadowy figure, he tested its true strength. However, relying solely on his own power, it would be extremely difficult to kill the shadowy figure. Moreover, the shadowy figure's defense was so high that its skin was like wearing armor, impossible to pierce.

If Chen Mo could break through the shadow's skin, then he wouldn't care and would just use a slow and steady approach. As the saying goes, "With enough effort, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle."

Unfortunately, this guy's skin, no one knows how it was formed, has such high defensive capabilities that it's difficult to break through.

Not to mention the Soul-Chasing Nails, even his own natal weapon, the Azure Jade Sword, couldn't penetrate this guy's defenses. Damn it, there's no one to reason with.

However, using the jade sword could indeed cut a small wound on the shadowy figure's skin, though such small wounds would be insignificant to the shadowy figure.

Even when Orochi and he attacked together, it still had little effect.

Therefore, Chen Mo had to look for other ways to attack, and he thought of the complete Thunder Sword he still had. The lightning power contained in it was something that even he was somewhat afraid of.

After all, the Thunder Sword's attack is indiscriminate; everyone present, whether enemy or ally, will be affected. Since he's not a psychic, he can't avoid the Thunder Sword's attack. Therefore, he needs to protect himself when throwing the Thunder Sword.

Furthermore, given the incredibly strong skin defense on the shadowy figure, it's unlikely to be much effective against lightning sword attacks, as the skin's defenses would significantly reduce the impact of lightning strikes.

However, upon seeing his jade sword and making small cuts on the skin, he came up with a plan. Since he couldn't break through the skin's defenses, he would use a gradual, persistent approach, inflicting small wounds all over the shadowy figure.

In this way, if attacked by the Thunder Sword, the released lightning energy can enter the body through these small wounds, at least reducing the thickness of the defense.

As for whether it will work or not, we'll have to give it a try!

Besides, while Chen Mo had some confidence in his ability to counter the Thunder Sword's attacks, he wasn't entirely confident. After all, his understanding of the shadowy figure was still too limited, so he decided to test it out first.

If the Thunder Sword's attack is ineffective, then he will think of other methods.

Of course, if there's no better solution in the end, he'll simply go back to find Ouyang Ruoxi and the others, and then run away with them.

Faced with an enemy you can't even defeat, why not run away and wait to be annihilated?
