The Great Ruler wanted to lie down but was thrown into the Spirit Road.

Chapter 84 A Battle That Struggles with the Soul

Yun Mo and his two companions were unaware of the methods used by the natives, nor were they aware of the existence of the Soul Return Mirror. They simply continued towards the city gate.

However, the closer they got to the city gate, the more people they noticed, and they also seemed to sense some subtle gazes being cast their way.

This made Yun Mo and the others frown slightly.

"I feel like we've been exposed—" Wen Qingxuan stood taller and more slender at the city gate, sensing the faint murderous aura emanating from the place, and said calmly.

"It seems so—but I don't know how they found our trail." Yun Mo's soul dispersed, and he could now clearly sense a threat lurking in the shadows.

"It seems the City Lord's Mansion has also gotten involved." Lin Jing looked at the slightly obscured city gate, where a level six spirit array had been set up, disregarding the paths of other prodigies.

A level six spirit array master is equivalent to a physically strong person.

"The fourth city has four city gates. This city gate must have been set up in advance after our direction was determined."

Yun Mo looked at the several figures that had appeared before him and said indifferently.

"So, those three people from before must have knocked on the door on purpose to find our trail. It seems they got the information from the people in the City Lord's Mansion. And with this city gate, it's clear that someone in the City Lord's Mansion has indeed broken the rules."

"Hmph! I'll definitely settle accounts with them later. How dare they disregard the rules and collude with each other." Lin Jing had already made a mental note of this fourth city.

"As long as you are captured and killed immediately, they will not be considered to have disregarded the rules."

Hua Zao slowly appeared in front of Yun Mo and the other two, and his divine spiritual pressure began to sweep out, engulfing this world.

Even behind Yun Mo and the others, there were other figures appearing, including those at the Tongtian Realm, those with strong physical bodies, and one or two with strong spiritual power.

"We've been looking for you here for almost a month. I must say, you really know how to hide." Qu Liang and Jian Yuan's eyes also flashed with a sharp glint.

"So, how did you find out about us?" Yun Mo's expression was indifferent, but he still wanted to know the answer.

"There's no need for the dying to know this. If you have anyone to blame, it's your own greed." Yan Man summoned a weapon and pointed it at the three of them.

"Ha, I've never seen anyone who secretly schemes to plunder Xuan Stones say we're too greedy."

Yun Mo smiled slightly, no longer bothering with these people. A hazy mark appeared in his hand, spreading towards the sky, allowing the ethereal meaning of time and space to slowly drift down.

"After cultivating for so long, it's time for us to test our strength." He turned his head and said softly to the two women.

"Actually, I had already anticipated encountering this group of people, hadn't I?" Wen Qingxuan also revealed her golden spear, causing the phoenix intent to spread and the Nirvana Fire to scorch the heavens and earth.

"Hmph! Perfect timing to deal with these people, so they won't interfere with our training anymore."

Lin Jing's small, gleaming white sword appeared in her hand. She had recently spent some time practicing with it. Although she couldn't unleash its full power, it was still more than enough to deal with these people.

The battlefield now is no longer a battlefield with any rules, but a real battle, which gives all the treasures on the three of them a chance to be used.

"Three of you are at the Transcendent Realm, one of whom is at the peak of the Transcendent Realm. It seems that your cultivation levels have improved rapidly over the past month or so."

"Then I must thank you for the resources!" Yun Mo looked at Hua Zao, his figure flashed, and he punched Hua Zao's head hard.

"Don't worry, the resources you've swallowed will ultimately lead you to your doom!" Hua Zao's eyes flashed with killing intent as he met Yun Mo's heavy punch head-on without dodging or avoiding it.

boom!

Fists collided violently, and the resulting impact caused a ripple in the heavens and earth, even generating a shockwave of spiritual energy that swept outwards.

"No wonder you dared to fight me head-on; you possess such formidable physical strength. However, even if your physical strength surpasses the level of spiritual power, I will still make you die here!"

Hua Zao staggered back a few steps after being punched, a look of realization dawning on his eyes. No wonder this person was able to easily kill Yu Shun with those two women; it turned out he was a specialist in physical cultivation, which was quite in line with the people of the Martial Arts Continent.

"Azure Sky Fist!"

But he immediately stopped, looked at Yun Mo with a cold smile, and then unleashed his powerful spiritual energy once more, throwing a punch straight at Yun Mo's face.

"Trying to 'strengthen the soul' is still too much of a stretch —"

Compared to Hua Zao, Yun Mo felt his internal organs tremble from this punch, causing blood to spill from the corner of his mouth. However, the hazy rain of time behind him fell on him, slowly healing his injuries.

"However, it's not like we can't give it a shot!"

As Hua Zao unleashed an extreme pressure, hurtling towards him, Yun Mo produced a glove as thin as a cicada's wing. This was a quasi-divine artifact that he had obtained from Wen Qingxuan after the three of them divided the spoils.

"The Purple Star Emperor's Technique: Rectify the mind to solidify imperial might, the Purple Star Emperor's Fist!"

Yun Mo let out a low shout, and immediately, a phantom image, seemingly capable of suppressing heaven and earth, slowly condensed behind him.

Furthermore, a wisp of purple imperial intent covered his fist, causing it to emanate boundless indomitable spirit, which then blasted towards Hua Zao's charging figure.

"boom!"

Another straight punch landed in a head-on collision. This time, the burst of spiritual energy was even more terrifying than the first punch, as if it would shatter the azure clouds in the sky and shake the universe.

Even the courtyards surrounding the city gates were ravaged by this clash of fists, causing the gates to be blown off, the houses to shake, and the tiles to be destroyed.

"A near-divine artifact! Sorcery!"

After their fists collided, Yun Mo was blasted away again. However, with the power of the quasi-divine artifact in his hand, he also caused Hua Zao's expression to change drastically, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, Hua Zao suddenly felt his power rapidly declining, and even his cultivation level had fallen to the level of spiritual power difficulty. If they clashed again, he might not be able to gain the upper hand again.

"Again!"

Yun Mo wiped the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, his expression growing increasingly indifferent. Then, the phantom behind him condensed again, but this time, wisps of dark demonic intent carrying the evil energy of heaven and earth appeared, making his posture even more bizarre.

The mysteries of time and space are shrouded in mist. The imperial will of the Ziwei Emperor is unyielding, while the profound mysteries of the Wu Clan's Body Tempering Scripture, combined with the evil energy of heaven and earth, are filled with murderous intent.

"I refuse to believe that someone as physically weak as you can defeat me with the help of a quasi-divine artifact!"

Hua Zao's face twisted, and a battle halberd appeared in his hand. He was going to shatter Yun Mo completely!
