Dual-wielding! 100x proficiency, I'll grind my way to godhood!

The smoke of battle had not yet cleared, and the steps leading down from the mountain gate were littered with severed limbs.

Chen Mo and Shangguan Hong both frowned.

Since the start of the battle, Ru Hua has not shown her face.

As the Right Protector, she should be the first to stand guard by Shangguan Hong's side at a time like this.

Chen Mo immediately recalled Huo Yan's dying words that his identity had already been exposed.

Who leaked it?

The fact that the Left Protector was an undercover agent in the imperial court was a top secret known to very few people.

"Where is the Right Protector?"

At this moment, Shangguan Hong also realized what was happening.

No one responded to her.

Chen Mo spoke.

"Hong'er. Who in the sect knows that Huo Yan is an undercover agent in the imperial court?"

Shangguan Hong looked up upon hearing this.

"It's just me and Ru Hua."

As soon as she said it, she froze.

Chen Mo stared at her, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Huo Yan just said that his identity had already been exposed, and the only person who knew about it besides you..."

"Only Ru Hua is left."

Shangguan Hong's pupils contracted sharply, and her voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"impossible!"

"Wasn't what Chi Huo taught her enough? Right Protector, second only to the Emperor, above ten thousand others!"

"What if she never intended to want these things in the first place?"

Chen Mo countered with a question.

"What if she came to the church with a mission from day one?"

Shangguan Hong's breath caught in her throat, and her eyes widened.

"No! Impossible!"

She suddenly stood up.

"Ru Hua is absolutely loyal to me! We're like sisters, she understands me best..."

As she spoke, her voice gradually faded, and her face grew paler.

"What is her goal?"

Chen Mo's voice was calm; he already knew Ru Hua's target.

"What is the most valuable thing the Crimson Fire Cult possesses?"

Shangguan Hong's lips moved a few times, and it took her a long time to squeeze out a sentence.

"The Nine Yang Manual...is in my bedroom in this small courtyard."

Shangguan Hong leaned against him, her whole body trembling.

"She joined the church when she was twelve. That year, a snowstorm wiped out her entire family, and I dug her out of the snow."

Chen Mo didn't say anything, but just tightened his grip on her hand.

"Young master, tell me. Which of her statements is true?"

"Her kindness towards you may not be fake. But her mission is also real. These two things are not contradictory."

Shangguan Hong closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, her eye sockets were red, and her gaze was as cold as ice.

Suddenly, fourteen blurry figures appeared on the horizon.

The two leading figures possessed profound and unfathomable auras; they were clearly two Grandmasters.

Twelve grandmasters followed behind them, rushing straight to the mountain gate.

Shangguan Hong sneered.

"Good. One wave after another, do they really think the Crimson Fire Cult is made of clay?"

Chen Mo grabbed her.

"Hong'er, don't worry, listen to my instructions."

"Grandmasters are the most troublesome to deal with once they land. It will be difficult to fight them tonight. There are still Wanqing and her group of thousands of disciples at the mountain gate. If a Grandmaster rushes in, it will be a massacre."

He took out two boxes of hand grenades from the bronze ring and gave one box to Shangguan Hong.

"So we shouldn't fight them head-on. We should throw grenades to disrupt them and make sure they can't land."

Shangguan Hong took out a hand grenade and held it in her hand.

"And what about you?"

Chen Mo grinned.

"I'll deal with the twelve smaller ones. After I clear out the rest, we'll take care of the bigger ones."

"it is good."

With a flick of her wrist, Shangguan Hong sent a grenade flying.

The sound of the iron lump breaking through the air was strange, and the two instinctively activated their internal energy shields to defend themselves.

boom!

Fireballs exploded on their flanks, the shockwave sending them staggering. Before they could regain their footing, a second one came hurtling towards them.

The two were blown around in the air, and all they could see in the night were flashes of fire, exploding right up to their faces.

Chen Mo also picked up a grenade, infused it with his Nine Yang Internal Force, and threw it with the strength of tens of thousands of pounds.

The moment the grenade was released, a white sonic boom cloud exploded in the night sky.

Bang!

too fast.

The master at the forefront had just erected his internal energy shield when it was pierced through, and the grenade exploded right in his face.

boom!

The flames engulfed him, along with the two people beside him.

The second one, the third one.

Chen Mo's arm swung in a blur, his grenades flying like a barrage of darts, each one accompanied by a sonic boom.

Even a Grandmaster's shield is as fragile as paper in front of it.

Within moments, all twelve grandmasters were annihilated.

At the mountain gate, Xu Wanqing and her two friends looked up in a daze.

Qingzhu held the Gatling gun and swallowed hard.

"Young master's grenades are scarier than ours."

The two grandmasters in the sky caught a glimpse of this out of the corner of their eyes, and their scalps tingled.

The twelve grandmasters vanished in the blink of an eye.

They couldn't even see what it was.

"Sorcery! Kid, what kind of sorcery are you using?!"

Chen Mo picked up another one, smiling innocently.

"This is my signature hidden weapon. You've never seen it before, have you?"

The grandmaster was so angry that he turned around and lunged at Chen Mo.

"Good timing."

Instead of retreating, Chen Mo advanced and, timing it perfectly, threw a grenade at his face.

The grenade exploded three feet in front of the opponent.

This attack couldn't penetrate the shield that the Grandmaster had painstakingly erected, but the firelight obscured his vision, and the impact caused his protective true energy to waver.

Just this one swing.

Shangguan Hong understood immediately, and flew towards the Grandmaster head-on, forcing him to defend with all his might.

"later!"

His companion hissed a warning.

late.

Chen Mo had already circled behind him, and with a sword imbued with the force of tens of thousands of kilograms and the Nine Yang True Qi, it swept across the back of his neck.

His head flew skyward.

He died at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm.

The remaining grandmaster was so frightened that his soul flew away.

beat?

How do I play?

The two coordinated perfectly, their hidden weapons exploding at point-blank range and their swords killing one person at close range.

He had lived for over two hundred years, and this was the first time he had ever smelled death.

He turned and ran, flying at full speed, covering a hundred feet in the blink of an eye.

"Trying to leave?"

Shangguan Hong drew her sword and was about to give chase.

"Hong'er, you rest. I'll take care of this one."

Chen Mo also took out a grenade and threw it at him.

The person then quickly gave chase.

The grenade exploded, disrupting the Grandmaster and slowing him down.

Chen Mo's Nine Yang Internal Force was pure and powerful, and his speed was significantly faster.

In just a few breaths, they caught up with him.

The grandmaster turned back in despair and roared with all his might.

"Who exactly are you?"

"The one who will take your life."

A sword was thrust forward.

The sword light easily sliced ​​through the shield and neck!

The second Grandmaster is hereby beheaded!

The night sky quieted down again.

None of the soldiers below dared to charge.

Shangguan Hong landed back on the ground, looked at the wreckage, and suddenly her expression changed drastically.

"The courtyard!"

The two sped back to the courtyard.

The door was open.

The bedroom was a complete mess.

The hidden compartment behind the dressing table was open and empty.

About half an hour has passed since the start of the battle.

She knew every inch of this small courtyard like the back of her hand, enough for her to find something and escape.

Shangguan Hong stood at the door, her whole body ice-cold.

Chen Mo didn't reply and flew directly to the roof.

The moonlight is beautiful.

Ru Hua has just broken through to the Grandmaster level, so her flight speed isn't very fast. If we chase her now, we might still be able to catch up.

And the emperor must absolutely not be allowed to obtain the Nine Yang Manual!

With two unique skills being practiced simultaneously, one wonders just how powerful he will become.

Chen Mo asked Shangguan Hong.

"Which direction is the capital city in?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Hong snapped out of her daze and pointed north.

Chen Mo took off and flew north.

"You go to the mountain gate to take charge of the overall situation, I'll go after Ru Hua."
