144: Chapter 144 This rat can't escape!

The power of the Primal World-Purifying Thunder was extraordinary, and it also possessed a paralyzing effect. After using the water flow to conduct electricity, it effectively trapped all the enemy experts above the fourth grade of the Blood Transformation Realm in place.

"What is going on? Why can't I move?"

"I feel numb all over! I can't muster any strength at all!"

The soldiers were filled with terror.

Just then, Li Mo shouted, "Attack!"

The next moment, a flying sword shot out rapidly, and wherever it passed, the enemies' heads were all severed.

At the same time, Zheng Jiahao and the others, who had been hiding in the woods, also charged out.

Striking while the enemy was vulnerable, these five hundred or so men had no power to resist and were mostly slaughtered in less than a few minutes.

By the time the paralysis effect wore off, the entire five-hundred-man squad had been reduced to only a few dozen survivors.

Li Mo hadn't expected that his Primal World-Purifying Thunder would be so powerful when combined with water flow.

"It seems that if I have the chance to extract the next talent, I should look for a water-type talent!" Li Mo murmured softly.

Just then, the enemy commander recognized Li Mo.

Li Mo was now at the top of the Black Earth Tribe's bounty list. Almost every soldier in the Black Earth Tribe had seen Li Mo's photo. Morpheus had issued a direct order: whoever could kill Li Mo would be promoted three ranks and receive a large reward of resources.

Therefore, the moment Li Mo appeared, the commander immediately shouted, "It's Li Mo! Run! Let's go notify the General!"

The commander also understood that they were no match for Li Mo and his group.

After all, the highest cultivation level in their squad was only the Liangyi Realm. According to the intelligence provided from above, it was impossible to contend with Li Mo without reaching the Sanhe Realm, let alone kill him.

Therefore, the commander decided to immediately report the situation according to General Gemu's orders.

Upon his order, the Black Earth Tribe soldiers who had luckily survived immediately scattered and fled.

Xu Feng was a bit annoyed: "Why have these guys become so cowardly? They're running away already? Weren't they quite tough before?"

Xu Feng grabbed his spiked club and was about to give chase, but Li Mo stopped him.

"Don't chase them! There is a hundred-thousand-strong army of theirs in this forest; chasing after them would be no different than seeking death! Find another place to hide immediately!"

Li Mo knew deeply that going head-to-head with the enemy was like throwing an egg against a rock. The enemy's hundred-thousand-strong army had at least one Heaven-Earth Realm martial artist and more than a dozen Sixiang Realm martial artists.

Not to mention that the number of enemies far exceeded that of the Vanguard Battalion, even these high-level martial artists alone were not people that Li Mo and his group could handle.

Now, all Li Mo could do was use the advantage of the terrain to stall them as much as possible and wait for reinforcements from the Great Xia's main force.

Thus, everyone followed Li Mo's instructions, left the spot, and continued to look for the next place to hide.

Meanwhile, following Li Mo's orders, other units of the Vanguard Battalion also engaged the enemy.

The forest was filled with the sounds of bombing and shouting. Fortunately, Li Mo had used Ant Man to convey orders beforehand, so now the Vanguard Battalion was actually trading blows with the enemy's hundred-thousand-strong army in the forest!

The Vanguard Battalion was composed of elite soldiers. Although the enemy's hundred-thousand-strong army was large in number, most of them were ragtag troops. If they didn't have the numerical advantage and were fighting squad against squad, the Vanguard Battalion actually had the advantage.

General Gemu personally led over two thousand men to search, and he was very surprised to hear the sounds of battle from all directions.

"Strange! The enemy only has four or five thousand men. Why does it feel like their numbers are on par with ours? This is truly bizarre!"

According to General Gemu's understanding, the four or five thousand enemy troops should have been crushed by them.

Just then, General Gemu suddenly felt that the forest ahead was a bit off.

Almost without any hesitation, he slashed his blade in that direction.

The power of a Heaven-Earth Realm martial artist was unquestionable. With one slash, the forest for over ten kilometers ahead was split in two, leaving a terrifying mark on the ground.

At the same time, the bodies of many Vanguard Battalion brothers slowly fell from the forest.

General Gemu's intuition was very accurate, because some Vanguard Battalion brothers, about a hundred or so, were hiding in that forest ahead of him.

Just now, with that one slash, General Gemu had killed at least fifty people!

The remaining people were too scared to move. They never dreamed that the person they were waiting for would turn out to be the enemy leader.

"Holy crap! How is it a Heaven-Earth Realm martial artist?"

"This is too unlucky, right? What do we do?"

Looking at this scene, General Gemu's lips curled up slightly, and he sneered: "I didn't expect that even after I used the electromagnetic pulse bomb, the other side could still transmit intelligence! They actually regrouped?"

Seeing that the Vanguard Battalion had already formed operational units of over a hundred men, General Gemu had already guessed that Li Mo had issued orders to the Vanguard Battalion soldiers again.

But General Gemu was not very afraid. Even if the Vanguard Battalion could hold the situation for now, they were still at a huge disadvantage in numbers. It wouldn't take long before the Vanguard Battalion would be beaten into a steady retreat.

"This Li Mo is truly a top-notch genius!"

Although General Gemu had the confidence to eventually crush the Vanguard Battalion, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion about Li Mo once again.

He was a general who had fought on the battlefield for many years, while Li Mo was just a wet-behind-the-ears brat. Yet now, he, a general, actually had to rely on a numerical advantage, ten thousand against five thousand, to barely take down Li Mo.

For him personally, this was already a huge humiliation.

Thinking of this, General Gemu pointed resentfully at the forest and said: "Full army, move out! Kill all those people! Leave none alive!"

"Yes!"

The fate awaiting these Vanguard Battalion brothers could be imagined. Having unfortunately run into the enemy leader, they naturally could not escape the doom of total annihilation.

Not long after, the commander who had almost been wiped out by Li Mo's squad finally found General Gemu.

"General Gemu, I have a situation to report! I have found their leader, Li Mo!"

Upon hearing this, General Gemu was immediately overjoyed. Li Mo's importance was far greater than annihilating the Vanguard Battalion now, because Li Mo held a weapon capable of easily killing a Heaven-Earth Realm martial artist, and his top priority was to capture Li Mo alive.

"Where? Take me there quickly!"

General Gemu was overjoyed and followed this person to the location where Li Mo had been.

But when General Gemu arrived at the scene, there was not a shadow of a living person anywhere. Li Mo hadn't even cleaned up the battlefield, as the corpses of Black Earth Tribe soldiers were lying in disarray all around.

General Gemu's adjutant gritted his teeth and snorted coldly: "This bunch of rats! They really know how to run!"

Furious, General Gemu blasted a large tree beside him to pieces with a single palm strike, then roared: "Bring me the map!"

General Gemu wanted the map to find their current location and then analyze the direction of Li Mo's escape.

"Don't worry! No matter how much this rat runs, it won't be able to escape my grasp!"
