The Long-Awaited Meeting
On the turbulent Atlantic Ocean coast, atop towering cliffs, a troop of fully armed, imposing Knight, clad in heavy silver armor, stand proudly on their tall warhorses at the edge of the precipice.
Following their line of sight, one could see a huge sailing ship setting sail on the sea several kilometers away, gradually moving into the distance and heading towards the depths of the ocean.
Looking at the majestic figure on the cliff from the ship, Alexander Corvinus no longer felt the fear he once had.
They are now far out at sea, and even if Chen Mo wanted to pursue them, he would need a boat.
Since he planned to escape by boat, Alexander Corvinas had made thorough preparations long ago.
Apart from the sailboat they were on, all the other ships in the entire territory had been destroyed and burned. There would be no way Chen Mo could have any ships to pursue them in a short time. By the time he could get ships from elsewhere, they would have already disappeared without a trace. The vast sea was boundless, and Chen Mo would have no idea where they had gone.
Just as Alexander Corvinus breathed a sigh of relief at finally escaping Chen Mo's pursuit, a scene that left him speechless unfolded on the distant cliff.
Perched atop a towering cliff, Andrew, Victor, and the others, mounted on their horses, watched the sailboats receding further and further into the distance on the sea, their teeth clenched in silent resentment.
In the past three years, besides their conquests and expansion, they have been searching for Alexander Corvinus, or more accurately, their expansion has been aimed at finding Alexander Corvinus!
Now, after finally cornering him at the edge of the continent and trapping him in this territory blocked by the ocean, he still managed to escape, while they could only watch helplessly as his ship sailed away.
They had just discovered a winding stone path on the side of the cliff, which spiraled down the steep cliff face and extended all the way to the sea below.
Alexander Corvinus and his men must have taken advantage of the siege to sneak down to the sea, boarded the prepared ships, and escaped ahead of time.
However, they also discovered that there were no other ships below the cliff, so even if they went down, they would have no way to pursue them.
Chen Mo stared at the burly middle-aged man standing alone on the stern deck of the distant sailboat. There was no anger on his face; instead, a smile appeared on his lips, as if the hunter had finally caught his prey.
Looking at the winding path on the side of the cliff, Chen Mo shook his head inwardly. The path was too steep, narrow and winding. Even for him, it would take a lot of time to go down from here. The prey he had been searching for was right in front of him, and Chen Mo had no patience to slowly climb the mountain now.
Chen Mo dismounted from his warhorse and took a few steps forward to the edge of the cliff.
The fierce sea wind blew the hem of his robe backward, causing it to sway in the air. His exposed legs were covered with sharply defined, powerful, jet-black armor that shimmered with a mysterious black luster in the sunlight.
Because this cliff extends diagonally into the sea, looking down from here, there is only deep water directly below, with no reefs present.
Nodding to himself, Chen Mo turned around and gave a stern command to the Knight behind him.
"Wait for me here!"
After saying that, before Andrew and the others could react, he took a step forward and jumped off the huge cliff that was more than 140 meters high, to their incredulous gaze.
Chen Mo's body Speed down the cliff, his black robe billowing in the strong wind, fluttering and rustling behind him like a cloak.
Chen Mo's sudden jump off the cliff startled the Knight. Andrew and the others quickly dismounted and rushed to the edge of the cliff to look down anxiously. They saw Chen Mo's figure falling straight into the sea.
Under the worried gazes of Andrew and the others, Chen Mo quickly traversed a height of over a hundred meters and plunged straight into the sea, stirring up a large expanse of churning white waves before disappearing completely beneath the surface.
Just as they were feeling uneasy, Chen Mo's black figure quickly emerged from the sea. Before the Knight crowded on the cliff could even breathe a sigh of relief, a small boat several meters long suddenly appeared on the sea beside Chen Mo without any warning.
No one could see how it appeared there; it was as if it had materialized out of thin air.
The small boat that suddenly appeared was actually an assault boat that Chen Mo had placed in his spatial storage. It was originally intended to provide a foothold in case of an air disaster in the real world, so that it could be used as a makeshift landing vessel after an emergency landing at sea. Unexpectedly, it has come in handy here.
To save space, Chen Mo chose two inflatable boats that could inflate quickly and automatically. By simply pulling the ring, the compressed gas stored in the cylinders could make the boats expand rapidly within seconds.
Before inflation, the boat's hull and motor together only have a volume of less than one Cosmic Cube, so they don't take up much space.
Chen Mo quickly flipped himself onto the boat from the sea, started the engine, and a deep, loud roar rang out. The propeller in the water spun at high speed, generating tremendous thrust, propelling the assault boat like an arrow shot from a bow, cutting through the sea and rushing toward the distant sailboat.
Alexander Corvinas, standing at the stern of the sailboat, witnessed Chen Mo's jump off the cliff. He was initially shocked by Chen Mo's amazing act, but the sudden appearance of the ship and the bizarre scene of it moving forward at high speed without sails or oars made him widen his eyes and fall into complete horror.
He was absolutely certain that all the ships in the territory, which spanned hundreds of kilometers, had been destroyed by them, and that the ship that had suddenly appeared was definitely not there before!
What surprised him even more was the ship's subsequent performance. The ship was incredibly fast, far exceeding any other vessel he had ever seen before. Moreover, it had neither sails nor oars, yet it could cut through the waves at a speed far exceeding that of warhorses, which was somewhat beyond his comprehension.
Under the incredulous gazes of everyone, Chen Mo steered the speedboat rapidly toward the distant sailboat, quickly closing in to within a hundred meters of its rear.
Only then did Alexander Corvinus, who was still in shock, finally come to his senses and look at Chen Mo, who was riding the "Divine Vessel" and charging towards him with unparalleled momentum.
At this moment, Chen Mo stood proudly on the ship, exuding an incomparably powerful and imposing aura, his sharp eyes firmly locked onto him.
Alexander Corvinus quickly drew his ornate and ancient longsword from his waist, his eyes fixed on Chen Mo who was rushing towards him, his face full of solemnity.
As an immortal who has lived for hundreds of years, Alexander Corvinus has experienced all sorts of complex and bizarre events, but he has never encountered a powerful being like Chen Mo, who is full of mystery and possesses all sorts of incredible magical abilities.
The great Alexander Corvinus never feared anyone, but he had to admit that he harbored a deep-seated apprehension, or rather, fear, towards Chen Mo!
This is an existence that is even more mysterious and powerful than him!
Chen Mo, on the speedboat, had no idea what Alexander Corvinus was thinking. Seeing that they were less than fifty meters from the sailboat, Chen Mo turned off the engine and let the speedboat continue to rush toward the sailboat at high speed using its inertia.
Reaching the bow, Chen Mo drew the King's Sword, his sharp eyes fixed intently on Alexander Corvinus, who was also holding a longsword and on high alert on the stern deck.
Just as the assault boat was less than ten meters from the stern and about to collide with it, Chen Mo exerted force with both feet and stomped heavily on the boat, causing the entire boat to sink a large distance.
A tremendous force burst forth from his legs, Chen Mo leaped high from the assault boat, using the momentum to propel Speed toward Alexander Corvinus on the stern deck.
The distance between the two men rapidly shortened, getting closer and closer until they could even see the cold glint in each other's eyes. Just as Chen Mo was about to land on the deck, Alexander Corvinus suddenly moved.
He quickly took a few steps forward, approaching the spot where Chen Mo was about to land. At the same time, he raised the long sword in his hand and swiftly thrust it straight at Chen Mo's chest, who was still in mid-air. He wanted to take advantage of Chen Mo's inability to dodge while he was in mid-air and catch him off guard, thus gaining the upper hand in one fell swoop.
If Chen Mo cannot withstand this sudden attack, he will inevitably be pierced through the body by his sword. Even if he doesn't die, he will be seriously injured and will be unable to fight again.
If Chen Mo were to block the sword, his balance would be disrupted as he would be suspended in mid-air with nowhere to brace himself. At that point, the attacker would seize the initiative and launch a series of fierce attacks while Chen Mo was off-balance, defeating Chen Mo in one fell swoop.
It must be said that Alexander Corvinus was, after all, an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years and had extremely rich combat experience, which immediately put Chen Mo in an extremely unfavorable situation.
If it were an ordinary person, they would inevitably lose the initiative due to his calculations, fall into a disadvantageous position, and be suppressed and beaten by him.
Unfortunately, his opponent was Chen Mo.
He returned from the world of Captain America with a full load of superhuman physical abilities, an indestructible Adamantium Alloy Combat Suit, and a peerless, invincible King's Sword, which he unexpectedly obtained from the Norwegian Royal Family tombs where the Cosmic Cube was hidden.
What is a deadly move that others cannot deal with, Chen Mo has many ways to easily neutralize.
Alexander Corvinus's brilliant calculations impressed Chen Mo. From this simple move alone, it was clear that his combat skills and experience far surpassed Chen Mo's.
However, sometimes, skills are not everything.
