"Humph, did you think this could trap me?" Qi Mo's face turned icy as the longsword in his hand suddenly lit up.
Strands of azure sword qi emerged from the blade, blooming into azure lotuses.
Azure vines coiled around the sword, while azure spheres of light hovered at its tip.
"Break!"
Qi Mo let out a low roar and flicked his wrist.
Azure lotuses bloomed at the sword's tip, turning into a wave of blue that spread in every direction and shattered the surrounding earth in the blink of an eye.
"Hm?"
Lin Taichu's expression shifted slightly. His opponent had actually broken his formation, and done so cleanly and decisively. It left him somewhat shocked.
Lin Taichu did not continue the pursuit. Instead, he looked into the distance, where Qi Mo was fleeing frantically.
"Humph, no matter how you run, you will die today."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Taichu vanished into the Void.
He shot toward Qi Mo, intending to capture him and force him to reveal his cultivation method.
"Rumble..."
The earth shook violently.
A massive fist carrying boundless pressure slammed viciously into Qi Mo's back. Qi Mo's expression changed drastically, as though he had been struck head-on by a speeding train.
"Pfft!"
Qi Mo spat out blood.
His body flew like a kite with its string cut and crashed into the ground. One of his arms was smashed to pieces, and he lost consciousness.
Seeing this, Lin Taichu was secretly delighted. With one step, he appeared in front of Qi Mo.
"Humph, I never expected a mere alchemist like you to possess such heaven-defying strength. If I let you leave alive, where would the Lin Family's dignity be?"
With that, Lin Taichu reached out, seized Qi Mo by the neck, and dragged him before himself.
