The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3217 Strike and Send Them Away
Chen Mo turned around and quickly faced the dark figure. He was also surprised. What kind of dark figure was this? The entire face had no features, just a patch of darkness.

It was completely black, you couldn't see anything clearly except its black color.

Moreover, this guy is very fast, much faster than Zhou Zixing, the old man with the innate talent, and only slightly slower than Qian Ying. Given his speed, it seems his strength isn't necessarily that great.

Although this was merely Chen Mo's judgment, it was likely correct. However, this judgment was actually flawed, as Chen Mo had only just come into contact with the shadowy figure. Had he been there earlier, when Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing broke into the room and rescued Qian Wantong, he would have seen the shadowy figure moving through the darkness, its speed not only faster than Zhou Zixing's but also faster than Qian Ying's.

Unfortunately, Chen Mo had never seen any of these things before; his judgment was based solely on his first encounter with them.

However, it didn't affect Chen Mo much. No matter how fast the speed was, Chen Mo's speed was not slow either. Moreover, even if it was really fast, he had various talismans in his hands. With the enhancement, he could directly surpass the speed of the black shadow. This was his confidence.

Because Chen Mo possessed divine sense, he was able to discern some features of the shadowy figure with a quick scan. In fact, the shadowy figure did have facial features, but due to its extreme darkness and somewhat eerie appearance, all the features were on a single plane, and even the nose lacked a bridge, consisting of only two dark holes.

The eyes had no pupils; the eye sockets were completely black, with only reddish irises, which looked rather eerie. The mouth had no lips, just a single line extending to near the lower part of the ear—a mouth that was far larger than one could imagine.

The shadowy figure's body was not only black, but also over two meters tall. Especially its arms and legs, which were disproportionately large, making it look almost inhuman.

Unfortunately, Chen Mo never saw the dark figure open its mouth wide in a show of defiance towards Qian Wantong. If he had seen that action, he would have been absolutely certain that the dark figure before him was not human, but a monster.

The shadowy figure had been speeding up, sneaking over to attack Ouyang Nana. But in the blink of an eye, he encountered Chen Mo standing right in front of him, and was immediately stunned. He hadn't expected someone to be so fast, managing to block him halfway through his journey.

But the shadowy figure reacted quickly, stopping instantly, and then staring at Chen Mo with a pair of red eyes.

To the shadowy figure's surprise, Chen Mo, who had just stood still like him, threw a punch without thinking.

The shadowy figure tried to defend itself, but it was too late; the punch was simply too fast.

In an instant, before his hands could even reach his chest, Chen Mo's fist slammed into the shadowy figure's chest with a loud bang.

"Oh!"

"Crack!"

With a loud bang and the sound of bones breaking, the dark figure was sent flying by Chen Mo. It flew more than ten meters and landed in the shadow of a building. Chen Mo flashed forward to continue the attack, but before he could get close, the dark figure struggled to get up, pressed itself tightly against the wall of the building, and then disappeared instantly.

When Chen Mo arrived at the shadowy part of the building, he didn't find the dark figure. He immediately stepped back and stood next to Ouyang Ruoxi.

His fight with the shadowy figure lasted only a few breaths. Amidst the commotion, the other martial artists turned to look, only to see Chen Mo already standing beside Ouyang Ruoxi.

"What happened?" "What's going on?"

"Could it be that enemies have appeared?"

But they didn't see any enemies.

Two experts at the Innate Realm immediately came over and asked, "What just happened? Can anyone tell us?"

"Elder Qian, Elder Zhou, a dark figure just suddenly appeared out of nowhere and attacked Ouyang Nana from behind." Chen Mo, who was involved, stepped forward to explain after hearing the news.

"What? It's that dark figure? He's here?" A hint of surprise and fear flashed across Zhou Zixing's face, but these emotions were fleeting. If Chen Mo hadn't had such sharp eyes, he really wouldn't have noticed.

Qian Ying ignored Zhou Zixing's emotional changes and stared at Chen Mo, asking, "Describe in detail what just happened so I can judge the strength of this shadowy figure."

Now that Qian Wantong is facing the shadowy figure and is no match for him, he deduces that the shadowy figure's strength must be very high, possibly exceeding the acquired level and reaching the innate level.

But now, this young man named Li Mo was actually able to face this shadowy figure and even defeat it, which was truly unexpected. Had he misjudged the situation, or was Qian Wantong too terrified to fight back when facing the shadowy figure?

However, Qian Wantong had fought the shadowy figure before, and was directly knocked away by the shadowy figure in just one move. But this Li Mo in front of him was clearly of similar strength to Qian Wantong, and according to his judgment, his strength couldn't be much higher.

When Qian Wantong clashed with Li Mo and was defeated by him, it took him more than ten moves to defeat him. But now, facing that dark figure, one was knocked away in one move, and the other knocked away the dark figure in one move. What the hell is going on?

He believed that Qian Wantong would not lie to him, and when he rushed in, he had personally witnessed the imposing presence of that dark figure in front of Qian Wantong.

Could it be that Li Mo, whom he was facing, was misjudged from the beginning, and that his strength might have already surpassed the acquired level and reached the innate level?
No, absolutely impossible. How could there be such a master of innate skill in China? But I have heard of such a master in the martial arts world.

Actually, it wasn't that he hadn't heard it, but that Qian Ying had forgotten.

When the Special Administration Bureau in China learned that Chen Mo's strength had reached the Innate Realm, it had already announced it to all martial arts families. This was not only an opportunity to demonstrate the Special Administration Bureau's strength, but also to inform all martial artists not to offend this Innate Realm martial artist.

However, Qian Ying, being a third-tier Innate Realm expert, didn't usually care about such things. He was in seclusion cultivating when he emerged from seclusion and accepted the mission arranged by the Qian family to explore this place. Therefore, Qian Ying hadn't heard of this news and naturally wouldn't connect Li Mo with the Special Administration Bureau's announcement.

Furthermore, the Special Administration Bureau announced that the innate master was named Chen Mo, but this young man is named Li Mo, which is why Qian Ying couldn't make the connection.

His understanding of Li Mo was all based on what he had heard from others; he hadn't witnessed the fight firsthand. So when he saw Chen Mo send the shadowy figure flying, he naturally had some doubts and wanted to hear the details to assess the strength of the two.
