With a fierce stomp from Snow, Mo Xing immediately felt the ground tremble slightly.
At the same time, Mo Xing understood why Snow was called the God of Calamity, as well as his method of attack.
However, since they were in downtown Giant Gorge City, there was no way Mo Xing could fight him here.
So Mo Xing immediately used the Creation Jade Plate to neutralize Snow's attack.
"Interesting!"
Snow looked at Mo Xing and said in a deep, buzzing voice, "You can actually neutralize my attack. It seems your strength isn't as weak as I imagined."
"If you want to find out just how strong I am, why don't we change locations and have a proper exchange?"
Mo Xing grabbed the limp Sodone from the ground, opened a spatial gate, and turned to leave.
"I'll be waiting for you in the Gobi Desert of the Shadu Kingdom!"
Watching Mo Xing step through the spatial gate and vanish, a Taotie beside him hurriedly asked, "Lord Snow, we..."
"Never mind!"
Snow waved a hand and chuckled. "I never expected such a being to exist in this remote Milky Way Galaxy. Then I'll have a proper meeting with him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Snow leaped into the air and headed for the Gobi Desert of the Shadu Kingdom.
Seeing this, the remaining Taotie did not dare linger any longer. They piloted their aircraft toward the Gobi Desert as well.
After setting down the still-unrecovered Sodone, Mo Xing smiled. "Come on, you're a god at least. How could you not even beat a few Taotie wearing exoskeleton armor while in a weakened state?"
Sodone looked unconvinced. "Listen here, Baozi, it ain't that I, Sodone, can't beat them. It's just that..."
"You just can't beat them!"
Mo Xing could not help laughing as he looked at Sodone.
As expected of a crocodile—his mouth really was hard.
Flicking his sleeve, Mo Xing said, "If it weren't for me, those small fry would have taken you away already. I offered to let you roll with me, with food and lodging included, yet you're still not willing!"
"I already told you!"
Sodone said angrily, "Don't treat me, Sodone, like some foodie, and don't think you can brush me off with just a few meals!"
"I, Sodone, am a crocodile with dreams!"
"Fine, fine, fine..."
Mo Xing could not be bothered with him anymore. After fighting Snow, he would properly deal with this silly crocodile.
However...
Mo Xing was actually rather surprised by Snow's appearance.
He had not expected Snow to personally oversee the capture of a weakened Sodone by a few Taotie small fry!
He had thought Snow would leave after unsealing Sodone.
He had not expected Snow to be secretly backing up those Taotie!
Mo Xing was beginning to regret it. If he could not bring Sodone back with him, then regardless of whether he won or lost this battle against Snow, he would be taking a loss!
Just as Mo Xing was thinking about how to defeat Snow and take Sodone away, Snow descended from the sky.
At the same time, several Taotie small fry arrived nearby in their aircraft.
Watching the Taotie draw closer and closer, Mo Xing raised a brow and mocked, "What, are you planning to have these small fry come over and test me first?"
Snow did not answer Mo Xing's question. Instead, he said in his deep, buzzing voice, "No matter who you are, the Crocodile God Sodone is not someone you can control!"
"If you don't want to die, obediently let them take Sodone away!"
Mo Xing stuck a pinky into his ear and casually said, "I already said it. I think this guy's pretty decent, so I want to take him on as my lackey."
"Besides, whether I can control him is my business. I don't need you worrying about it."
"Hmph, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
As he spoke, Snow raised both hands. Endless storms immediately gathered in his palms, sweeping up the yellow sand across the entire Gobi Desert.
Looking at the several sandstorm tornadoes before him, Mo Xing could not help sighing inwardly. As expected of the God of Calamity!
If those sandstorm tornadoes swept through a city, Mo Xing dared guarantee that before long, every person and object in that city would be torn directly into pieces!
And though they looked like ordinary sandstorm tornadoes, the wind carrying the sandstorms was actually formed from Snow's Dark Energy.
If a Second Generation Warrior were caught in them, they would likely be torn to pieces by the sandstorm tornadoes as well!
However...
A faint smile touched Mo Xing's lips. "Playing with wind? Aren't you looking down on me a little too much?"
"But since it's a tornado, let me add a little something to your wind!"
With that, Mo Xing summoned several tornadoes as well.
However, Mo Xing's tornadoes were not sandstorm tornadoes like Snow's—they were fire tornadoes!
"Go!"
At Mo Xing's command, several fire tornadoes crashed toward Snow's sandstorm tornadoes.
As they collided in pairs, thunderous booms immediately erupted across the Gobi Desert.
When Mo Xing's fire tornadoes collided with Snow's sandstorm tornadoes, the sandstorm tornadoes were instantly set ablaze by Mo Xing's flames!
From afar, one could see several tornadoes reaching all the way into the clouds, wrapped in flames and casting the entire sky in the hues of a sunset.
However, Mo Xing and Snow struck at the same time next, dispersing the tornadoes.
Thus ended the first probing exchange!
Afterward, neither of them spoke again. Each drew his weapon and began the second round of battle!
Mo Xing drew Illusory Dance, while Snow took out his God-Slaying Shovel!
Thus, across the Gobi Desert, the two engaged in a spectacle of long-range energy clashes and close-quarters weapon exchanges.
The entire Gobi Desert was battered by their battle, yellow sand flying everywhere as the ground collapsed.
Yet just as the two were locked in fierce combat, Sodone, who had been hiding in the distance, rolled his crocodile eyes around. Then he gave a sly chuckle and quietly burrowed into the ground to crawl away.
But although Mo Xing and Snow's fierce battle had drawn the attention of the Taotie grunts who had come with them, Sodone's figure was simply far too eye-catching!
One had to understand the weight behind the saying, "North of the Milky Way, Sodone is the most beautiful"!
The instant Sodone burrowed underground, a Taotie soldier spotted him!
That Taotie soldier immediately gathered several companions and chased after Sodone!
The two men fighting also noticed that Sodone was escaping, and new thoughts arose in both their minds.
Mo Xing no longer wanted to fight Snow!
If the battle continued, his trump cards would be exposed.
He wanted to break away from the fight as soon as possible and take Sodone back!
But Snow did not see it that way!
Snow was no longer in a hurry to defeat Mo Xing, because the weakened Sodone could easily be captured by a few Taotie soldiers!
Therefore, all he needed to do was keep Mo Xing pinned down and deny him any chance to leave the battlefield!
At the same time, both men were perfectly aware of the other's thoughts.
Mo Xing simply stopped fighting and sat down in the Gobi Desert to wait for news from the Taotie Legion.
However, Sodone ultimately failed to escape the Taotie's capture. In the end, Mo Xing could only watch as the Taotie seized Sodone and carried him off into the sky.
This left Mo Xing deeply frustrated.
"This was a huge loss!"
Shaking his head, Mo Xing ignored Snow. He opened a Teleportation Gate and stepped through it on his own.
After watching Mo Xing disappear, Snow also leaped into the sky.
