First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 201: Formidable Enemies Join Forces

"The Hundred Curses Method, evade the knife's kill, evade the sword's kill!"

In a critical moment, Yang Chi slammed the ground, lifting up the robe that had transformed into a makeshift altar.

Quickly forming hand seals, he madly infused spiritual energy into the patterns on the robe.

Accompanied by the fluctuating radiance of the patterns, one after another curse blood seal appeared out of thin air, covering the area in front of him.

"Poof!"

The sword light descended!

One after another, the blood seals disintegrated.

But each flowing blood light diminished the might of the Upmost Clear Sword Qi.

In the blink of an eye, both the sword light and the blood seals disappeared!

At the same time, Yang Chi's state visibly weakened.

Obviously, using this method had greatly depleted him.

"Damn it, why is this person's sword technique so formidable?"

"My Hundred Curses Method was originally prepared for Meng Sanchi. Now that I've exposed my trump card in advance, it's probably difficult to compete with Meng Sanchi again!"

"Forget it, forget it! Let's deal with this kid in front of us first!"

Yang Chi was about to use his curse again, but he saw another brilliant sword light slashing towards him!

Glancing at the unrecovered patterns on his robe, Yang Chi helplessly smiled.

Immediately, he took out several third-grade talismans and activated them, placing them in front of him to slightly hinder the sword's might.

In the next instant, the talismans turned into celestial arts and were completely destroyed!

Yang Chi's body was also swept up by the sword qi and crashed straight into the stone steps.

Fortunately, his robe and inner armor were of decent quality. With a burst of spiritual light, they blocked a lot of the sword qi.

Therefore, although he was injured, he didn't have to worry about his life for the time being.

Meng Sanchi and Li Chen were originally happy to see Shen Mo and Yang Chi fighting each other.

Unexpectedly, in just a few breaths, Shen Mo easily defeated the equally strong Yang Chi.

This shocked them both!

"Brother Li, have you been to the Linjiang Sect's Shanhe Boundary? Have you had any dealings with this person?" Meng Sanchi couldn't hide his astonishment on his face.

He transmitted his voice to Li Chen, who was nine steps below him, inquiring.

Li Chen also had an incredulous expression on his face. After a moment of contemplation, he quickly replied, "This person's name is Shen Mo. Meng Brother should have known this long ago."

"Half a year ago, his strength was on par with me and Xun Tian!"

"However, his sword technique is indeed sharp. He once injured Xun Tian."

"According to Xun Tian, at that time, this Shen brother didn't defeat Xun Tian head-on, but used some tricks to ambush and injure him."

"I have also traveled with him before and didn't see anything extraordinary about him!"

"... "

Upon hearing this, Meng Sanchi's face showed a pensive expression. Then, he made a decision and took a step down the stone steps.

"This person is indeed a formidable enemy!"

Li Chen and Meng Sanchi exchanged glances, quickly reaching a tacit understanding. They descended the steps together and attacked Shen Mo.

Although they were both proud individuals, they were not ashamed to join forces at the Tian Shan Grand Ceremony.

If it were just an ordinary duel, they would compete fairly to determine the top three.

Whether it was Meng Sanchi or Li Chen, they would try their best to give their opponents a fair fight.

But the situation was different now!

The ranking at Tian Shan was related to the future distribution of benefits among the Five Great Immortal Sects.

Both of them had received great cultivation support from their sects and needed to repay this favor.

They would not give up the advantage of joining forces for the sake of so-called pride, allowing Shen Mo to defeat them one by one!

As for descending from a higher step.

It was simply more difficult to stand on higher ground at Tian Shan, let alone fight.

The consumption during the battle was also more intense than at lower levels.

If they could gain even the slightest advantage, they would strive for it. There was no need to needlessly exhaust their strength and state.

"Buzz!"

Li Chen carried a surging and dark aura, wielding a blood-colored broadsword as he struck towards Shen Mo.

"Swoosh!"

Meng Sanchi was like a sharp sword unsheathed, with a sharp sword aura following closely behind.

Seeing the two attacking him at this moment, Shen Mo was not surprised but rather delighted. He swung his Demon-slaying Sword and met their imposing sword lights.

"Good! I was just thinking about testing the abilities of the two talented individuals with spiritual bodies!"

Before climbing the mountain, Shen Mo had already used [Insight into All Beings] to probe the true strength of these two.

[Human: Meng Sanchi]

[Realm: Fourth Heaven of Qi Gathering Realm]

[Brief Description: This cultivator is a native of Jingzhou in the Red Flame Country, born into the prestigious Meng Clan.

Born with a sword body, he is truly an exceptional talent in the path of sword cultivation. He was later accepted as a disciple by the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Under the careful guidance of the Sword Master Wu Chenshi, he has mastered several sword techniques and immortal arts to perfection.

He primarily cultivates the technique "Red Dust Hundred Tribulations Scripture," which he has cultivated to the thirty-sixth tribulation. If he completes a hundred tribulations, his sword heart will be untainted by dust and he can directly enter the Yuan Dan Realm.]

[Weakness: Being too rigid like a sword makes him easily breakable!]

...

[Human: Li Chen]

[Realm: Third Heaven of Qi Gathering Realm]

[Brief Description: This cultivator is a native of Youzhou in the Red Flame Country, the son of a woodcutter.

Due to possessing a dark spirit body, his mother couldn't bear the dark aura during childbirth and died in labor. His father regarded him as a disaster and abandoned him in the mountains.

He was later picked up by a hunter and carefully raised. As a youth, he was accepted into the Iron Armor Sect, a major martial arts sect in Youzhou. After several twists and turns, he eventually joined the Ghost Corpse Sect for cultivation.

His aptitude perfectly matches the techniques of the Ghost Corpse Sect, and his cultivation progressed rapidly after joining. He gained the favor of Yan Shi Dao Ren and mastered several immortal arts. He also has a powerful personal corpse puppet as his reliance.]

[Weakness: Half of his abilities rely on his personal corpse puppet. If the puppet is destroyed, it won't be difficult to defeat him!]

...

These two individuals, one with a sword spirit body and the other with a dark spirit body, are both top-notch cultivators in the cultivation world!

They have also cultivated immortal arts and techniques that are in harmony with their own bodies.

Undoubtedly, among the cultivators of the same level that Shen Mo has encountered, these two are the strongest.

Therefore, the peak master and others did not have high hopes for Shen Mo, which is understandable.

According to common sense.

Among the newly recruited disciples of the Linjiang Sect, only Lu Ming, who also possesses a Thunder Spirit Body, can compete with them!

The outstanding outer disciples, such as Lv Xu and Xu Longxiang, are inevitably overshadowed by them!

Even Lu Ming may not necessarily be able to surpass Meng Sanchi.

In terms of aptitude, techniques, and magic tools, Lu Ming is not much inferior.

But in just half a year, Meng Sanchi has already reached the Fourth Heaven of the Qi Gathering Realm. Although it's only a difference of one realm, there is indeed a difference between the early and middle stages of the Qi Gathering Realm.

Even if Lu Ming had not been delayed by Xiao Linger and Gao Xiaofeng, it would be extremely difficult for him to surpass Meng Sanchi!

As for Li Chen, although he is slightly inferior to Meng Sanchi, he is not weak either.

In addition to his own cultivation strength, he also has a personal corpse puppet that is not weaker than him. In a sense, he possesses the combat power of two people alone.

When Shen Mo fought against them, he felt a sudden pressure!

The Demon-slaying Sword, the blood-colored broadsword, and the sharp sword lights clashed for more than ten moves within a breath or two.

The collision of blades and swords created a chaotic scene!

The sound of gold and iron colliding was like muffled thunder, echoing halfway up the Tian Mountain!

Even Lu Ming, Xiao Linger, and others below could perceive the commotion of this battle.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

Shen Mo used two clear sword auras to barely force Meng Sanchi and Li Chen back.

His gaze carried a hint of seriousness.

"It's worthy of being one of the top talents among the newly recruited disciples of the sect. Indeed formidable!"

"But, I'm not inferior either!"

Boom!

The Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body and the Three Heads and Six Arms True Immortal Technique within Shen Mo's body both activated.

His entire aura also surged!
