The sword-shadows of darkness slowly faded into nothingness, and the sky recovered its brightness. The dark and indomitable figure was gradually revealed, and a man stepped into everyone’s gazes.
The complacent Emperor Tang shot up to his feet in an instant, his complexion pale.
“Chen Mo!!”
Everyone present was shaken.
“What? Is that Chen Mo?”
Jiang Yanyu rose from her seat. The Three Dukes and Nine Marquis rose from their seats, and Northern Darkness Has Snow could not help but stand up. Every noble family showed the exact same expression at the same time.
Shock.
Utter shock.
Everyone had thought that Chen Mo died at Huan Wen’s hands. No one imagined that at this very moment, he would actually appear onstage, standing before everyone’s eyes.
Like deep waters and high peaks, his presence was extraordinary.
He was simply like a god of war.
“Chen Mo is still alive.” Northern Darkness Has Snow’s breathing quickened. The girl could hardly conceal her excited expression. Sensing she had forgotten her manners, Northern Darkness Has Snow immediately feigned an unconcerned appearance.
“Has Snow, you have been too odd.” Although Northern Darkness Blue Wave was very astonished, he was not to the extent he would be so flustered.
“Father, do you know who forged Serene Snow Falling Ink for Daughter?” Northern Darkness Has Snow fixed her gaze on that tall man.
“En, is it not that one named Shi Jin?” Northern Darkness Blue Wave answered.
“That is only his alias, Father.”
Northern Darkness Blue Wave was taken aback. Then, he came to his senses and looked incredulously at the young man in the center of the venue, “Him?”
“Isn’t that His Highness Chen Mo?”
“How is he still alive?”
“Her Highness Huan Wen said she already killed him.”
“Right, why do I feel this Chen Mo is mightier than the Human Sovereign.”
“He actually came to die.”
After the initial shock passed, everyone present immediately returned to their senses and whispered to one another.
Huan Wen blinked, making certain that she was not seeing things. How could this man still be alive. This was impossible, how could a God Transformation cultivator have been lucky enough to do so under her Dark Rank.
“Big Sister, Second Brother, take Father back and heal his wounds for now. Leave the rest to me.” Chen Mo said.
Chen Luan and Chen Lin stepped forward and supported their heavily wounded father.
“Fourth Brother, you shouldn’t have come back.” Chen Lin reproached him in a low voice.
“Fourth Brother, are you confident?” Chen Luan asked, concerned.
“Leave it to me, I won’t doom myself.” Chen Mo smiled.
“Alright.” Chen Luan knew this was the only way.
Huan Wen continued to expressionlessly watch Chen Luan and Chen Lin carry Chen Zhangtian back to his seat. Seven Stars’ gaze was ice-cold. Who knew what she was thinking about. In truth, that gaze of hers had never wandered from Chen Mo.
“You really are like a cockroach. You’re actually still alive? This Highness has a whole new level of respect for you.” Huan Wen’s expression was flat.
“Huan Wen, you must be disappointed I’m not dead.” Chen Mo calmly rearranged the hem of his Heavenly Silkworm Snow Brocade. That thrust just now still contained a lot of power.
“Disappointed?” Huan Wen felt this description was very laughable: “This Highness is not disappointed…This Highness only feels annoyed to have to kill you more than once. Your luck was not bad at the Northern Barbarian lands, but what a pity you are too stupid to know to treasure the second life you got.”
“Of course I treasure it very much, so this time, I came to take a tooth for a tooth.” Chen Mo retracted his heedless expression, and his eyes filled with murderous intent.
“A tooth for a tooth?” Huan Wen’s eyes showed slight viciousness: “Just you alone? I was able to kill you the first time, I can kill you the second.”
“Oh, then why are you wasting your breath instead of doing something?” Chen Mo smiled.
Huan Wen glowered. If it was before, against a cultivator that she wanted to kill, Seven Stars would have attacked without another word, but in the face of Chen Mo’s appearance this time, the girl showed a rare lack of action. On the contrary, they chatted as if they were old friends.
Was this respect for his courage in the face of death?
Or recognition for his mettle as a man?
Neither.
Huan Wen’s body had an instinctive reaction. This White Clothed Tanhua that escaped with his life stood before her once again, different from before. The previous Chen Mo perhaps was very strong and very stubborn, but Huan Wen was able to sense the aura of a weakling. She was able to control whether he lived or died. But now, Chen Mo had a kind of incomparable self-confidence. The man standing in front of her seemed to be one with the earth. Even the world was a rampart behind him.
Invulnerable!
This kind of feeling was like Yellow Court Realm.
It was precisely this instinct of disbelief that made Huan Wen hesitate.
Hearing Chen Mo’s insult, Huan Wen sneered. No need for further consideration, this man was nothing more than big talk. “Anger This Highness? This Highness merely gave you a chance to speak your last words. Today, This Highness shall kill you in front of everyone in the world!!”
Finishing this, frosty spear-light blossomed in front of Chen Mo like a plum flower in a vase.
Chen Mo drew a Four Star Star Weapon, a Northern Barbarian broadsword. His Black Turtle was proficient, and his body was as immovable as a boulder. Huan Wen’s enormous Star Energy did not force him back in the slightest.
The broadsword slashed at her diagonally. Chen Mo also wielded the Star Manual Of Masters Gan And Shi’s Star Energy at its maximum, unleashing brilliant saber-light without mercy.
The plum blossoms were immediately shredded.
White light came out of the withering petal. The attack from before was nothing more than a fleeting feint. The actual danger was hidden until this moment.
The Four Star Cold Night Locked Moon Spear’s attack did not use the power of a Yellow Rank, but the spear contained Star Energy that was still terrifying. Even the bystanding Greater Thunder Tribulation cultivators felt a bit of pressure.
This God Transformation brat must be dead now, right?
That thought was fleeting. Chen Mo faced Huan Wen’s oppression with complete fearlessness, very expertly using the broadsword to respond. He traded several blows with Huan Wen, each time practically a life and death exchange. He worked the hardest at engraving the experience of “death” battle into his mind. Chen Mo’s combat experience against Huan Wen had already reached a level unimaginable for normal people. Even Huan Wen herself could not imagine it.
Furthermore, he did not face only Huan Wen. Chen Mo had ample experience against other Star Generals, and against Huan Wen’s sudden thrust, he had more than enough leeway to fight back.
Clang, clang.
In that instant when the sword’s edge collided with the spear’s, everyone was awestruck.
As for Chang’an Mansion’s side.
Chen Zhangtian’s return to his seat immediately drew attention. The Azure Dragon Imperial Guard had already surrounded Chang’an Mansion beforehand, however, there was no one paying them mind right now.
Chen Zhangtian ingested healing medicines and worked his magic energy to maintain his frail life. If it was not for Chen Mo’s intervention, he perhaps would have already died under Huan Wen’s spear.
A Yellow Court Realm Star General was indeed too powerful. His own magic energy was hardly able to withstand her.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhangtian lifted his gaze, looking somewhat worried at the field. Seeing Chen Mo and Huan Wen were evenly matched in their battle, the Human Sovereign showed slight astonishment.
“Little Sister, just what the hell did Brother Mo encounter in the Northern Barbarian lands to actually be able to fight Huan Wen for so long?” Chen Lin said in amazement.
Chen Luan coldly answered: “Huan Wen will regret making enemies with Brother Mo.”
At the same time, the Three Dukes and Nine Marquis, as well as the first-rate cultivators of the other noble families and sword sects of the Great Chong Dynasty all stared with their jaws dropped at the scene unfolding in front of them.
Chen Mo and Huan Wen’s battle was dazzling. If one did not look carefully, they might have thought this was a fight between two great Star Generals.
“This…Just what kind of person is this brat, how can he entangle Huan Wen.” Lord Jiangnan Jiang Ruxiu raised his brow, his lips murmuring.
Chen Mo had already overturned his knowledge that Star Generals were unequalled.
“Hmph. I feel that Her Highness Huan Wen is merely toying with this White Clothed Tanhua.” One handsome young man from Jiangnan Mansion said indignantly.
“Exactly, I think this is also the case. Her Highness Huan Wen is able to easily dispatch even Human Sovereign Chen Zhangtian. This White Clothed Tanhua is no more than God Transformation Realm, it is completely impossible for him to be a match.
“Right, playing with him like a cat before it eats a rat.”
The others agreed with the young man’s words.
Jiang Yanyu wrinkled her brow, scoffing at their words in her heart. She knew better than everyone that Chen Mo’s capabilities were far from being fully displayed. “Yanyu, you exchanged blows with Chen Mo during the Divine Warrior Examination. Is he already strong enough to contend against Huan Wen?” Jiang Ruxiu asked.
“He did not have these qualifications at that time…” Jiang Yanyu shook her head: “Chen Mo’s growth is honestly too quick. Daughter already concedes she is no match for him.” If they dueled again, she would inevitably lose.
“Since Huan Wen was unable to kill him at the Northern Barbarians, this indicates that this boy will inevitably become a very capable person. No wonder Huan Wen is so afraid of him. Seems that perhaps Chang’an Mansion may just have a chance this time.” Jiang Ruxiu exclaimed.
Among the Three Dukes, the Fang Family’s Fang Xi and the Cui Family’s Cui Wumeng also received questions from their fathers and kin. Each warrior had also traded blows with Chen Mo and received significant attention.
Everyone’s minds were very eager to know just how actually this boy capable of calmly facing Huan Wen had developed.
However, the answer they received undoubtedly left them with a certain kind of expression.
Flabbergasted!
More and more comments poured into Huan Wen’s ears, and the young girl was clearly becoming very impatient. She indeed had thoughts to toy around with Chen Mo, to make everyone in the world watch as Chen Mo was ridiculed to exhaustion before finally giving him a wretched death. But Seven Stars gradually discovered that things were going far from what she planned.
Against her sharp, ice-cold attacks, Chen Mo’s responses were unhurried and calm.
Huan Wen activated her Yellow Court Realm Star Energy but was still unable to shake Chen Mo’s heart. This man’s heart seemed to have become as impregnable as a boulder.
After his “death” in the Northern Barbarian lands, just what lucky encounter did he obtain?
Dammit.
Her previously established arrogance as a Star General was practically gone under Chen Mo’s composure. Huan Wen gnashed her teeth. She glanced at that Four Star broadsword, and a cold light sparked in her eyes.
She swept forth the spear in her hand. A spear-light flew over, shooting towards Chen Mo’s chest like the most-chilling razor.
Yellow Rank: Chest Opener!
Bang.
A clear shattering noise.
Chen Mo used the broadsword to shield his chest. This Star Weapon suddenly disintegrated from Huan Wen’s Yellow Rank attack, and the leftover spear-light continued to assault his chest, exploding with a bone-piercing killing intent.
The remaining Star Energy was unable to tear the Heavenly Silkworm Snow Brocade, but the Chest Opener’s force still penetrated it and broke the bone and flesh that lay underneath. Blood very quickly stained his white clothes. Chen Mo took a few steps back, but he did not fall.
As expected, without a weapon as strong as a Star General’s, he was still in a very difficult situation.
Chen Mo’s expression was grim.
Huan Wen composed her pace, finally recovering her Star General’s haughtiness. Chen Mo without a weapon was no different from someone waiting for death in her eyes.
“Chen Mo, do you feel your physical body will be able to stop This Highness’ Dark Rank next? This Highness is very eager to see.”
Huan Wen licked her lips, and her spear rang from excitement.
“No wonder you’d steal my Northern Dipper. It turns out you’re afraid of me having a weapon?” Chen Mo ridiculed her.
“As matters stand, you can only flaunt the speed of your tongue. You should have stayed quiet and alive when you did not die back then at the Northern Barbarian lands.”
Without another word, she slashed with her spear.
Chen Mo had no choice. He activated the Star Manual, striking with Qiankun One Qi to first ward off her attack, but the leftover force was still fierce, difficult to stop. All of a sudden, a whistle broke through the air. Something smashed into the ground like a thunderclap, repelling Huan Wen’s attack.
Seven Stars was stunned.
That was a gigantic iron staff. The big staff’s “Ursae Majoris Stones” shimmered to the limit with starlight.
Northern Dipper!
Chen Mo was delighted and took hold of Northern Dipper.
Everyone was scared stiff by this rod that suddenly appeared from the sky. Then, a pure and cold voice slowly floated over Circle Hill.
“Since you are not dead, then Your Servant shall return this to its rightful owner.”
Everyone lifted their heads and followed the voice.
At the highest platform of the ceremonial grounds, a young woman had appeared.
