248: Chapter 248 Waiting for a Rabbit to Fall into a Trap

"Move quickly! Do you want to end up like that person just now?!"

Li Muchen shouted sternly.

He didn't care at all about the life or death of these pawns; he only wanted that top-grade origin fruit.

Hearing this, the remaining followers glanced at each other and steeled their hearts.

"Attack together! He can't stop us!"

Someone roared, and madness flickered in the eyes of the remaining sixteen True Immortals as the immortal essence within them began to burn regardless of the cost.

Dozens of streaks of light surged toward Su Mo from all directions.

Facing the attacks of these True Immortals, Su Mo finally raised his eyes and sighed softly.

Just now, he had been trying to put the origin fruit into his storage ring, only to find that it seemed to be one with heaven and earth, impossible to be contained within a storage space; forcing it would only cause the storage space to collapse.

"There's no other way then..."

Su Mo stopped trying and turned his gaze toward Li Muchen and Zhang Kuang.

He couldn't take the origin fruit to the Lower Realm.

He had only completed five rounds of tempering; it wasn't time to refine the origin fruit yet.

So, if he wanted to take it out, he would have to rely on these Family scions.

A sharp light flashed in Su Mo's eyes as he charged head-on toward these True Immortal Cultivators.

Liu Xuan and the Cultivator who had just been turned into an Incarnation in front of him also charged forward without dodging.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The violent energy instantly swallowed the two Incarnations.

Their bodies were immediately torn and pierced, revealing terrifying wounds.

Half of Liu Xuan's body was sliced away by a sharp streak of Sword Qi.

However, in the next instant, the injuries severe enough to cripple a True Immortal recovered to their original state in the blink of an eye.

Undying Body!

This scene sent a massive shock through the hearts of the attacking True Immortals, causing their offensive to falter.

In that brief moment of hesitation, the two Incarnations pounced on their targets like tigers among a flock of sheep.

They each restrained a True Immortal, refusing to let go despite their targets' roaring struggles and attacks.

Su Mo's figure followed closely behind, appearing beside them the moment the two Incarnations restrained their targets.

He reached out and tapped a finger precisely on the foreheads of the two bound True Immortals.

"No!!"

"Young Lord, save..."

The terrified pleas for mercy came to an abrupt halt.

The eyes of the two True Immortals quickly calmed down, and they immediately charged toward the remaining True Immortals.

The rest of the True Immortals were completely terrified and began to retreat.

They couldn't be killed and could instantly control them; how were they supposed to fight?!

"Do not retreat!"

Li Muchen roared, steadying the morale.

Then he looked at Zhang Kuang and said urgently:

"Brother Zhang! The top-grade origin fruit is in this man's hands now. His methods are bizarre; only by joining forces do we have a slim chance!"

Li Muchen spoke rapidly, his voice carrying an unprecedented gravity.

He stared intently at Su Mo, thinking of Li Yunyi.

Could this person have been sent by Li Yunyi?!

"Dammit! Li Yunyi! You are asking for death!"

Zhang Kuang's expression turned serious, and after a moment of thought, he spoke:

"Fine! Let's join forces to slay this Cultivator first; we'll deal with the origin fruit later!"

At this moment, he couldn't care less about fighting with Li Muchen; the origin fruit was the priority.

The two instantly reached a consensus and shouted to their respective followers:

"Restrain him from a distance! Don't let him get close!"

Hearing this, the remaining True Immortals groaned inwardly; they didn't have equipment as luxurious as Li Muchen's and Zhang Kuang's.

The four Incarnations were constantly burning their essence blood, Divine Soul, and Lifespan, their speed boosted to a terrifying degree, making them impossible to shake off.

Seeing he was about to be caught and restrained, a True Immortal felt despair and resentment well up; a hint of madness flashed in his eyes as he also began to burn his own essence blood, Divine Soul, and Lifespan.

His speed suddenly increased, narrowly avoiding the Incarnation's grasp.

While the True Immortals restrained the four Incarnations, Li Muchen and Zhang Kuang fixed their eyes on Su Mo nearby.

Su Mo held a top-grade origin fruit and was the instigator of this whole scene.

As long as they eliminated him, the controlled True Immortals would naturally no longer be a concern.

"Attack!"

Li Muchen shouted and, together with Zhang Kuang, poured immortal essence into the Immortal Artifacts in their hands.

The crimson immortal sword and the dragon-patterned golden spear erupted with unprecedented light, striking from left and right toward Su Mo's head and heart.

This strike was unreserved, using their strongest move.

At the instant the two attacks were about to touch his body—

Su Mo moved.

He didn't use any offensive techniques; he simply walked toward the two of them.

Boom!

The two attacks hit Su Mo's body without hindrance, turning him into dust.

But in a flash, Su Mo reappeared before them, completely unharmed.

"Second Generation Immortals really have it good; relying on a full set of Immortal Artifacts, someone with a Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivation can unleash attacks at the True Immortal level."

A look of realization flashed in Su Mo's eyes.

He had now figured out his own strength.

Invincible below the level of a True Immortal, but unable to withstand attacks above that level.

Looking at Su Mo, who was unharmed and whose aura hadn't even faltered, the cruel smiles on Li Muchen's and Zhang Kuang's faces froze completely.

"You... what on earth are you?!"

Their pupils shrank as they cried out in shock.

Once or twice could be excused as him having some sort of death-substitution method.

But to be resurrected after taking both of their strongest killing moves was completely beyond their comprehension.

Su Mo ignored them entirely; with a thought, the four Incarnations suddenly changed targets and rushed toward Li Muchen.

Su Mo planned to take down one first and deal with the others later.

three-colored flames rose from him and the four Incarnations as their speed soared to the limit.

Li Muchen's face changed drastically; he hadn't fully recovered from his all-out strike, and facing four monsters who didn't fear death and were frantically burning their foundations, a chill rose in his heart.

A look of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and gritting his teeth, he took out a silver Jade Slip.

The Jade Slip shimmered with dense space power, clearly a life-saving item.

A sharp light flashed in Su Mo's eyes as he quickly sped up his movements.

But he still didn't make it in time.

Li Muchen crushed the Jade Slip, and the dense space power erupted instantly, enveloping him and causing his figure to vanish in an instant.

"Can't stop it!"

Su Mo frowned slightly.

His Space Law power actually couldn't affect the space power on that Jade Slip!

Seeing Li Muchen escape, Su Mo turned his head toward Zhang Kuang.

Seeing this, Zhang Kuang's expression changed drastically, and he also pulled out an identical Jade Slip and crushed it.

"F*ck! These Second Generation Immortals are so damn annoying! Slippery as eels!"

He could only turn his gaze toward the True Immortals in the distance.

A moment later, all eighteen True Immortals had been converted into Incarnations.

Afterward, Su Mo stayed where he was; the top-grade origin fruit couldn't be put into a storage space and could only be left outside.

This sky-piercing pillar of Dao Rhyme could be seen no matter how far away one was.

He believed someone would be unable to resist coming here to seize this origin fruit... After crushing the space-shifting Jade Slip, Li Muchen's vision went dark.

A few breaths later, he felt the sensation of standing on solid ground again.

Before he could even open his eyes, a familiar voice rang out in his ears:

"Isn't this little brother Muchen?"
