90: Chapter 90: There is hope for a Level 4 Spirit Field

Taking the lightning strike was a fatal blow for Iron Shovel.

An unwilling Iron Shovel moved out once again.

This time, Zhao Mo switched to being the bait.

Bang, bang.

This was the sound of the ape's arms smashing into the ground. Fighting until now, Zhao Mo finally discovered that this Yao Beast did not seem to use any Spell, relying entirely on its formidable Physical Body to fight.

"Now is the time, hurry up and act."

Zhao Mo shouted to Iron Shovel in his mind.

Iron Shovel seized this opportunity, turning into a stream of light and heading straight for the ape's eyes.

Roar~

An ape cry rang out.

Iron Shovel had succeeded.

However, a feeling of horror enveloped Zhao Mo.

"Something is going to happen."

Without a second thought, Zhao Mo immediately used an Earth Escape Spell.

With the continuous support of his Nascent Soul level mana, Zhao Mo went straight down.

A terrifying fluctuation struck from the ground above.

When it reached Zhao Mo, he discovered that it was actually an unknown vine.

Deep underground, at an unknown depth, Zhao Mo was still struck by this vine.

With a pfft sound, Zhao Mo opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood.

After waiting for a moment and hearing no movement, he slipped out of the ground.

When he saw the situation on the ground, he was stunned.

The place where he had just been standing seemed to have experienced an earthquake; the original trees had been pierced and broken by green vines, and even the rocks had not escaped the same fate, all turned into small pebbles.

"Over here."

"Come save me quickly."

Iron Shovel's voice came faintly from the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Mo wanted to summon Iron Shovel back, but his head ached as if it were splitting. This was likely a sign that the distance was too great and his mental control was insufficient.

"Fleeing further west?"

Zhao Mo didn't care if it was within the Iron Sword Sect's territory or not; he rode a cloud and gave chase.

With Iron Shovel as a guide, Zhao Mo wasn't worried about losing track, but the ape's speed exceeded his expectations.

It took a full hour for Zhao Mo to catch up to it.

"Come back."

Once the distance was close, Zhao Mo immediately retrieved Iron Shovel, which was stuck in the ape's eye.

As Iron Shovel flew out, the ape let out another miserable cry, but its aura was clearly much weaker than before.

It seemed that the ultimate move just now must have consumed a lot of its energy.

"I'll smash it."

With the ape having lost its eyes, wasn't it now a living target for Zhao Mo?

He gripped the handle of the shovel and just kept swinging at the back of the ape's head.

He didn't know how many times he had struck it, but Zhao Mo felt something white splash onto his face.

He reached up to touch it, and it was full of a fishy smell.

Taking another look, it was the ape's brain matter, splattered from being beaten by him.

Only then did Zhao Mo clearly see what kind of ape he had beaten to death.

Blue-black fur, white feet, and a red tail.

"This is a Green Leaf Ape?"

It was actually one of the Five Elements Demonic Creatures used to cultivate the fourth-grade spirit field.

"Good, this trip wasn't in vain."

Just as Zhao Mo was planning to put away the Green Leaf Ape, he noticed several figures in the distance moving rapidly toward this side.

Before the people arrived, their voices came first.

"Stop."

Could Zhao Mo slow down? Not a chance.

So, with the fastest hand speed of his life, he put away the Green Leaf Ape.

"Take it out."

Zhao Mo looked at the Iron Sword Sect Disciple pointing a sword at him. Damn it, does this Sect have no brains?

They didn't even check the other person's Cultivator level, just started robbing them right away. Who taught you all this?

"Take what?"

"There's nothing here."

After saying this, Zhao Mo turned around, preparing to leave. These Cultivators were all Golden Core True Persons and Foundation Establishment Cultivators; it was no fun bullying them.

"Who told you to leave?"

"Everything within the Iron Sword Sect belongs to the Iron Sword Sect. Did you just kill a Yao Beast here? Hand it over quickly, or we won't be polite."

"Nonsensical."

Clouds formed under Zhao Mo's feet, and he prepared to leave.

These Iron Sword Sect Disciples were even more annoying than the Liu family in his eyes.

"Nascent... Nascent Soul True Lord..."

"Quick, quick, quick, send out the distress signal~"

An iron sword shot into the sky, shining for a hundred miles.

"Which True Lord is trespassing in my Iron Sword Sect?"

Zhao Mo had only just flown for a short while when his path was blocked.

"Are you sick in the head?"

"Yao Beasts are running rampant right now, people are dying everywhere. Is your Iron Sword Sect a Human Race Sect or not? Why aren't you saving people?"

"Instead, you care about these trivial matters?"

"Shut up! The Sect's territory is sacred and inviolable. Anyone who dares to trespass in my Iron Sword Sect will be killed without mercy."

"Damn you~"

Zhao Mo felt he hadn't checked the almanac before going out today; the people he kept running into were all brainless like this.

"I can't be bothered with you."

Saying this, he rode the cloud, preparing to leave.

"Stop, leave the Storage Ring behind."

Who would have thought that the Iron Sword Sect's Nascent Soul True Lord would be relentless, directly attacking and intending to use force.

"I've tolerated you for a long time."

Zhao Mo threw out Iron Shovel,

"Hit him."

While he himself took out the iron stake,

I'll stab you to death.

"Spiritual Artifact?"

The Nascent Soul True Lord's face was full of greed.

But he never thought that he was only at the Nascent Soul First Layer Middle Stage, while Zhao Mo had Iron Shovel's help and was at the Nascent Soul First Layer Peak. How could he possibly get the upper hand?

He was soon beaten until he threw away his armor and fled. If it weren't for Zhao Mo's kind heart, he would have likely beaten his Physical Body to a pulp.

"I can spare you, but leave the Storage Ring behind."

Those who rob others will be robbed in turn.

Zhao Mo returned the words exactly as they were said.

This~

Why are there so many Yao Beasts?

What is the Iron Sword Sect plotting?

It turned out that the Iron Sword Sect's Nascent Soul True Lord had handed over the Storage Ring without hesitation. Zhao Mo opened it to take a look,

and the ring was actually filled with Yao Beast corpses.

Most of them were Golden Core level, and there were also seven or eight Nascent Soul level ones.

Among them, Zhao Mo happily discovered the Yao Beast corpses of a Silver-Armored Armadillo and a Flame-Tailed Fox.

Adding the Rock-Armored Turtle and the Green Leaf Ape from the beginning, four of the Five Elements Demonic Creatures were already collected. Zhao Mo also already knew the lair of the final one, the Wave Shadow Flood Dragon.

"So, there is hope for this fourth-grade spirit field?"

For Zhao Mo, this was an unexpected joy.

Of course, the most important thing now was still the beast tide; without clearing out the Yao Beasts within the Xuan Sect's territory, nothing could be done.

The entire northwest area of the Xuan Sect near the Iron Sword Sect had become a ruin, with traces of fighting everywhere.

Because the Soul Transformation and higher-level experts were on the front line, the most common creatures here were Yao Beasts below the Nascent Soul level.

To reduce losses, the Xuan Sect had kept the most numerous Nascent Soul True Lords in this area, striving to resolve this beast tide as quickly as possible.

"Hmm?"

"Song."

Zhao Mo noticed a Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beast from afar and thought it was fighting with Xuan Sect Cultivators. After flying closer, he discovered it was a group of mortal soldiers.

"This is the Song State Imperial Guard? So fierce? They can actually use mortal bodies to fight against a Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beast?"

Zhao Mo became curious and decided to observe.

He saw that this unit of Imperial Guards, numbering about a thousand, not only advanced and retreated in an orderly manner when facing the Yao Beast, but even formed a military aura between their movements.

However, the Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beast's Physical Body was stronger than that of an ordinary Golden Core True Person. It was already not easy for this group of soldiers to surround this Yao Beast; wanting to kill it was extremely difficult.

Bang.

Zhao Mo smashed the Yao Beast with his shovel, shattering it into pieces.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, splashing onto the group of soldiers.

"Hehe, sorry about that, this Yao Beast's strength was too weak, I couldn't hold back."

Zhao Mo landed from the clouds and said to the group of Imperial Guards.

"You are the Song State Imperial Guard? Why would you appear in this place?"

"Who are you?"

"Martial Success King?"

"It really is the Martial Success King."

"We pay our respects to the Martial Success King. May the Martial Success King live for a thousand years, a thousand, thousand years."

Zhao Mo's head grew large.

"Who is the Martial Success King? Which bastard gave me that title?"

He was a dignified Nascent Soul True Lord with a lifespan of 1,200 years. Calling him 'live for a thousand years'—wasn't that cursing him to die early?

Besides, how could a mere mortal petty king be worthy of a Nascent Soul True Lord?
