158-8 A Storm is Brewing
While keeping a watchful eye on the wall, Hei Mo observed the passerby. He felt that the passerby meant him no harm, but since there might be accomplices coming out of that door, he dared not gamble. He aimed his Thunder Flame Burst at the door cut by the white line, muttering to himself, "There are even reinforcements from the space-time system. This is going to be difficult..."
The next moment, the door was cleaved open, and Hei Mo immediately unleashed Lei Yanbao without hesitation. However, he only managed to strike a curtain of water, and Lei Yanbao vanished in a flash.
Having completely confirmed that the passerby meant him no harm, Hei Mo became wary of reinforcements that might appear at any moment...
Mo Bei completely gave up: "This mysterious cloaked man seems even harder to fight than that other super handsome guy." She then pondered: "If I could pretend to attack this one I can't beat, and then ambush him without arousing suspicion..." Then a question arose: "This person doesn't seem to want to fight me, but that black cockroach—the broken-winged version—startled me at the beginning... Right, the broken-winged version! Can't he fly? Yes, he can't fly!" Mo Bei decided to wear down the black cockroach in the air.
At that moment, the dazed girl in the cat hat suddenly reacted. Time around her began to flow, and she rose and walked towards the gates of the Heavenly Yin Empire. The dazed girl reached the city gate and found a secluded spot to stand. She raised her hand, drew a circle in front of her, and a powerful, unfamiliar aura emanated from her fingertips.
Soon, the circle was filled with blank space. A few seconds later, an image appeared in that blank space: Hei Mo and Mo Bei.
A bow appeared in her hand, with a broken flower at the arrow rest, emitting a faint blue light. Above it were wings woven from petals, gently landing on either side of the bow's ribs. Below, another flower spun within the hollow of the bow, showering countless petals down.
Her hand gently rested on the arrow's resting place; the flower petals themselves formed a light arrow, the arrow curved with a luminous string, and stamens spilled out from the point where they met.
With a swift release, the arrow flew forth, its wings woven into its sides, its body formed from branches, its tail adorned with blossoms, scattering a faint radiance that, through its halo, shot towards the dark path.
Mo Bei flew through the air, launching Thunderflame Bombs at Hei Mo. The instant Hei Mo's domain vanished, he raised one hand, caught the Thunderflame Bombs, used his own thunderflame to attract them, and then threw them back one by one. Mo Bei dodged left and right; the thrown Thunderflame Bombs, though at least half as effective, all hit the wall behind him. Looking back, Mo Bei saw several cracks! Seizing this opportunity, he guided Hei Mo's attacks towards him, dodging them and then having them hit the cracks—this way, he could probably escape.
Below, Hei Mo noticed the cracks appearing after he dodged, and deliberately avoided attacking that side. Mo Bei, seeing this, attempted to learn how to use lightning-infused manipulation.
Just as Hei Mo was about to use True Dragon's Pride - Thunderclap Manifestation, the arrow struck him. The instant Hei Mo was hit, he was sent flying, crashing into a wall that immediately cracked. The noise startled the sleeping passerby, who raised his hand to wipe the crack, smoothing it away.
Mo Bei saw the newly formed cracks being smoothed out, and looked back, exclaiming, "My God, the sky has fallen! All that effort and it's all gone!" Then he looked back at Hei Mo, oblivious to everything else, knowing only that the time-space system he had prophesied would eventually arrive.
Mo Bei and Hei Mo slumped to the ground, gazing at the spot where the arrow had been fired. It was a circle, and within that circle, the sky was overcast.
Mo Bei noticed Hei Mo watching and, intending to finish him off when he wasn't looking, rushed forward. Hei Mo, wounded by an arrow, immediately clutched his abdomen and dodged.
Thunder and flames gathered around Mo Bei, and the light of "Burning Thunder Flame" emanated from his body. In the next moment, he flashed into the darkness.
Hei Mo raised his hand to block, but was knocked back by Mo Bei's fist, which was enveloped in lightning and flames. He hadn't expected that after so much time, Mo Bei would still have picked up the lightning and flame fist technique he used on Tianxing Earth. Could it be that he was about to return to his peak?
Just as Mo Bei was about to use Thunderflame Strike to pursue, the Frost Nightfall sword fell out of his pocket. One can only say that cheating was too deliberate; wouldn't something that big puncture his pocket if it fell out? Passerby, what do you say? Only the commander who had seen the passerby emitted light from the Destroyer. I knew it.
Mo Bei picked up the Frosty Nightfall sword that had fallen to the ground, still wondering what it was. Hei Mo, seeing this, knew it was a life-or-death situation. He lightly plucked a scale from the small dragon in the Divine Lord realm and cut it towards his own artery: "It wasn't used against Nipawan... but I used it in my own battle..."
Seeing the surrounding flames gathering, Mo Bei tossed the Frosty Night aside, only to discover it had pierced the ground. Overjoyed, he immediately pulled it out and started digging a tunnel. Passersby were speechless; they hadn't expected Mo Bei to discover them in this way. They looked towards the next room's entrance and then back at the black-clad Mo Bei.
Seeing the Heavenly Yin Holy Sword gradually gathering, Hei Mo wrapped the bandage from Raymond Garretas on the Heavenly Star around his right hand with his left, then heated it with lightning flames, while observing Mo Bei studying the tunnel.
Seeing that the bandage on his right hand had been treated, Hei Mo immediately picked up the Heavenly Yin Holy Sword with his left hand and was the first to infuse it with spiritual power.
The next second, the Heavenly Yin Holy Sword absorbed Hei Mo's lightning and flames, emanating a crimson-gold light mixed with black currents, flowing with lightning and flames. Ignoring the pain and the familiarity, Hei Mo immediately charged towards Mo Bei; this was a battle for himself.
Mo Bei repeatedly chiseled at the ground with his Frosty Night Darkness sword. Amidst the flying white dust, he spotted a room below that closely resembled his current location. His enthusiasm surged, and he dug even deeper. The passerby, who had turned his gaze back to Mo Bei, suddenly felt a darkness engulf him. Mo Bei saw this as a good opportunity to kill him while he dug. As for the passerby, judging from his behavior, he seemed harmless, so he decided against fighting him for the time being, fearing that the Void Essence would absorb his foolishness and turn him into a fool.
The circle in the distance is expanding, and that dazed girl in the cat hat... no, she should be called an oversized girl now. This oversized girl, who doesn't move when she's still, but whose movements are astonishing, is drawing an even bigger circle, probably about to create another surprise for Mo Bei.
