Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

Lin Mo, with his keen spiritual sense, sensed the danger in the vest a moment earlier, turned around, drew his sword, and did so in one swift motion.

Clang!

With a low, resonant dragon's roar, a silver dragon suddenly appeared. The blade and the flowing stone made a clanging sound as they collided. A spark focused on the blade and remained there for a full three seconds before being extinguished.

A soft exclamation came from the forest, seemingly slightly surprised that Lin Mo could predict the direction of the flying stones.

Sun Qian hurriedly warned, "Be careful, the person chasing me is a martial artist who has been reborn three times. He is skilled in light-footed flying stones, and all the brothers have died because of his flying stones."

Before he could finish speaking...

The sound of something cutting through the air was sudden. A flying stone streaked across the night sky, invisible and without a trace. Only the whistling sound could be heard as it rushed towards Sun Qian's face with a strong wind.

clang!

A horizontal slash swept across the face, sparks flying.

The deadly flying stone was deflected by Lin Mo's timely strike, and a cracking sound came from the nearby trees as branches broke and fell to the ground.

Sun Qian's face turned deathly pale; he looked like his soul was about to leap out of his fontanelle.

I almost died just now.

If Lin Mo hadn't intervened in time, he would have really been going to meet his ancestors this time.

Lin Mo shouted, "I'll cover the rear! Quickly return to the camp and get reinforcements!"

Without a second thought, Sun Qian turned and ran.

He knew that if he stayed, he would only be a burden, while running away would free up Lin Mo's resources.

Rumble!

A thunderclap boomed, and a torrential downpour began.

"Damn it!"

Upon seeing the rain, Sun Qian cursed.

  

Rainwater affects a martial artist's hearing and vision, posing a significant challenge for Lin Mo in fighting off enemies.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The sound of metal clanging kept coming from behind him. Sun Qian didn't dare to look back and sped up his sprint.

"Little Mozi, hold on for me, I'll bring reinforcements back!"

The cold raindrops relentlessly pounded on Lin Mo, soaking him completely.

The wind was strong, the rain was heavy, and visibility was obstructed, making it impossible to see things normally.

In such dire circumstances, a normal person would struggle to protect themselves against a martial artist capable of ranged attacks, let alone cover their comrades.

Lin Mo wasn't unafraid of death; rather, he knew that Sun Qian was dead, truly dead.

He can also use the [Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror] to reopen it.

Sun Qian was one of the few people in the Great Zhou Dynasty who treated him well.

One must have a conscience; he must repay the kindness of receiving the books.

Tonight, no matter what, I must protect Sun Qian.

His spiritual sense reached his entire body. Although the flying stones were hidden and silent amidst the falling rain, they were still within the reach of Lin Mo's spiritual sense.

The horizontal sword danced in his hand like a swimming dragon, its silver light flashing erratically as it slashed down the flying stones that attacked him.

"Heavenly Eye Technique!"

Lin Mo cast a spell, focusing his spiritual sense into his eyes, which suddenly became bright and focused on the forest five zhang away.

In the pitch-black forest, every blade of grass and every tree instantly came into clear view of him.

A figure moved swiftly through the forest, launching two flying stones at a time before changing position to continue the attack.

Under the Heavenly Eye Technique, Lin Mo quickly and completely grasped the martial artist's positional shifting patterns.

"You scoundrel, prepare to die!"

After the opponent launched two flying stones, Lin Mo suddenly stopped slashing down with his sword and instead chose to dodge. He pushed off with his feet, sending mud flying up to the height of two people. His body shot out like a cannonball into the forest five zhang away.

Just as the martial artist was about to change position and continue his sneak attack, Xu Liang was suddenly stunned. Feeling a strong threat, he didn't have time to change position and hide. He could only watch helplessly as Lin Mo pounced on the tree where he was hiding.

Without a second thought, he unleashed a barrage of flying stones, like a shower of petals.

The flying rocks aimed directly at Lin Mo's throat, chest, abdomen, and other vital areas.

If it were a normal martial artist, they would definitely try their best to dodge at this moment to avoid being injured by the hidden weapon.

Unfortunately, he encountered soldiers.

The highest level of the 【Dead Soul Absolute Desire Blade】is self-sacrifice!

I disregard my own life and death; I would give up my life for the enemy's.

The blade's power surged, displaying an unyielding ferocity!

A silver dragon soared through the heavens and earth, like a thunderclap that pierced the sky, dazzling and brilliant.

The reinforcements rushing to their aid from afar all looked up, witnessing the shock of that single strike.

The century-old towering tree was split open from the root upwards.

Xu Liang, who was unable to change his position and hide, was struck by the incredibly powerful blade light and stood frozen on the spot.

Xu Liang stared blankly at Lin Mo. Before he died, he wanted to know what kind of expert had killed him.

This must be a veteran soldier.

Boom!

Lightning flashed across the rainy night, illuminating Lin Mo's handsome, slightly youthful face.

Xu Liang's pupils suddenly contracted. He was just a young boy. Had he started practicing swordsmanship since he was in his mother's womb?

The last vestiges of his vitality, which had been a final burst of energy before death, began to dissipate rapidly, and his consciousness plunged into endless darkness.

pat!pat!

Rain poured down his head, then flowed down his body and onto the ground, turning blood red.

puff!

In an instant, Xu Liang, a martial arts master, had his body torn to pieces and exploded.

A torrential downpour of blood rained down from the sky.

At this moment, Sun Qian arrived with reinforcements and witnessed the scene of the martial arts master's corpse exploding. His hurried steps stopped involuntarily, and his face was blank. He was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

He killed a martial arts master who had been reborn three times with a single slash.

Is this Lin Mo?

That new recruit who had only recently joined the army?

With a dragon's roar, the long sword was sheathed, and Lin Mo turned around and walked towards the reinforcements in the heavy rain.

Some of the reinforcements instinctively stepped back, avoiding eye contact with him.

"Don't be afraid, it's me, Lin Mo."

Lin Mo wiped the blood from his face and chuckled at everyone.

"Master Qian, the traitors have been eliminated. I'm going back to camp to rest. Tonight I tested my skills and made some progress; it seems I'm about to break through to a new level!"

After watching Lin Mo's figure disappear into the torrential rain, it took Sun Qian a long time to come back to his senses.

"What did that kid just say... a breakthrough to a new level? He's only been practicing the Dragon Crocodile Technique for a short time, and he's already about to break through!"

……

Inside the tent, Lin Mo is experiencing a rebirth.

He has indeed gained some insight and is facing a breakthrough.

The martial arts master Xu Liang, on his deathbed, used the "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers" technique, sending flying stones scattering all around him.

Piercing through the hard armor, the flying stones, like steel nails, pierced his chest, abdomen, and limbs.

The excruciating pain ignited his martial spirit, and as he slashed with a domineering blade, the alligator dragon energy within his body was also fully unleashed.

At this moment, the Dragon Force was frantically moving under the skin.

The flying stones embedded in flesh were forced out of the body one by one, shooting out like bullets.

Blood was gushing out, but it was quickly stopped thanks to the healing power of the alligator dragon.

The injuries are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Dragon Force circulates throughout the body's meridians, strengthening the muscles, bones, and skin with each circulation.

After nine cycles of circulation, the repeated strengthening and convergence of these forces led to a qualitative change from a quantitative one.

A new beginning.

Lin Mo's skin rapidly shrank and cracked, becoming as dull and dry as the bark of a thousand-year-old rotten tree, with layers of dead skin peeling off.

As the dead skin peels away, a layer of smooth, new skin emerges.

At first glance, it looks no different from ordinary skin and flesh. But upon closer inspection, one can see flowing shimmer beneath the skin, with a magnificent, scale-like radiance appearing and disappearing between the skin's texture, its spirit radiant and restrained.

A new era of martial arts begins, forged from alligator skin!
