Nine-headed Serpent originally had a chance to dodge, after all, he had a bloodline ability that could transform his entire body into part of the black, turbid waves, but he would be in a weakened state after using this move.

Unfortunately, it feared that Feiyi would take advantage of his weakness to settle scores with him.

Unfortunately, it didn't use all its strength to dodge and escape when Li Mo took out the hammer, so by the time it realized it...

It's too late.

As soon as Nine-headed Serpent's body began to melt, it felt the surrounding air completely solidify, becoming as hard as iron. It had no time to react and used its bloodline power to break through the heavy hammer blow.

The hammerhead magnified rapidly in its eyes.

Nine-headed Serpent's eyes widened as it sensed the scent of death. Its scales stood on end, yet were whipped around by the surging hammer blows, churning like waves.

It was as if the world had crashed down, and anything in its path would be mercilessly crushed.

A Divine Observation Realm, transcending realms, killed a Sixth Grade Calamity Beast with a single strike?

If anyone had said that to it before, it would have absolutely scoffed.

But at this moment.

It believed it.

Boom--

The immense, earth- Settling the Universe force crashed down, its power transmitted from Nine-headed Serpent's torso to every inch of its body, blasting into a shower of black blood.

"Call..."

Little Li put away the hammer and exhaled a puff of white breath.

By harnessing the power of the world and unleashing the Heaven-Overturning Hammer Calamity Meteor Hammer, the chances of success are naturally greater, but after that one strike, there is no power left.

Fortunately, Nine-headed Serpent hesitated because of his suspicion of Feiyi and also underestimated himself.

It's fair to say he didn't even get to use 30% of his skills, and his death was incredibly frustrating.

He still has the capacity to deal with another opponent.

I just don't know.

Could the other two Sixth Grade Calamity Beast share the same thought as Nine-headed Serpent Feiyi? If they also arrive, he will have to consider a strategic retreat with Ice Block.

Nanguan City is still quite a distance away, but this is certainly not the first wave of Calamity Beast to come knocking.

Now is not the time for a life-or-death struggle.

A fierce wind howled, and black rain poured down.

The doors of the Mountain Lord Temple were flung open with a loud crash.

The girl holding the sword had her black hair flying. Seeing the figure not far away standing still, she released her grip on the sword, her eyes calming down.

There were martial artists who deliberately tried to impress her.

At that time, she didn't seem to even entertain any childish or ridiculous thoughts; she completely ignored them.

How is it now?

But I felt that his stubborn back view was both a little childish and a little... handsome?

The two little figures on the shoulder of the Ice Block had changed their topic of argument.

The little figure in white smiled and said:

"He'll definitely want to hear compliments later, how about we call him 'brother'? No man can resist being called 'brother,' you're amazing!"

The little figure in black maintained a cold expression and calmly said:

"We're two months older than him, if we call him 'brother,' he'll get all high and mighty. What if he acts even more arrogant next time? We have to call him 'little brother' so he won't be allowed to be willful next time."

"..."

Ying Bing touched the Big-Headed Doll's head, feeling that none of them were easy to say aloud.

When the two little people are arguing.

The Feiyi outside had already shaken off the foul-smelling black blood from their bodies.

Nine-headed Serpent... is gone?

Judging from the withered grass and trees on this hilltop, which may not grow any vegetation for decades, this is not an illusion.

Even if Li Mo, for some unknown reason, possessed the bloodline of True Dragon and gained the recognition of the Heavenly Jade, he was still only at the Divine Observation Realm.

But he destroyed Nine-headed Serpent in the blink of an eye.

This is even more surreal than having your own son with two heads!

"You just wait!"

The Feiyi flapped its four wings, creating a dry, gusty wind, as if trying to escape.

"Cough cough..."

"Um?"

That kid not only took the hammer, but also seemed to have suffered severe internal injuries? Well, that makes sense, considering he instantly killed Nine-headed Serpent despite being a level above him.

If we summon the other two Calamity Beasts, the Heavenly Jade will have to be divided among three demons...

Feiyi returned after leaving, deciding to test the waters first.

Little did it know that it had fallen victim to the King of Brawling!

The most powerful way to trap an enemy is not through traps or grappling techniques, but by 'I can fight back'.

Buzz--

The Feiyi snorted.

Suddenly, a sandstorm swept across the mountain, and the air within a radius of more than ten miles quickly became dry. The mountain, which had just been rained on, suddenly looked as if it had not been moistened by moisture for decades.

Even martial artists at the Inner Breath Realm would likely be instantly drained of all their energy.

Call--

"This is extremely similar to a sword technique I once saw, because that person was studying the Divine Intent of the Feiyi."

Li Mo's skin reflected a dark light, and the seven Profound Pills in his Dantian locked away his Qi and Blood essence, like a piece of sand standing on dry land.

Without using the power of the world.

How far could he possibly fight a Sixth Grade Calamity Beast, which is equivalent to Inner Scene martial artist?

Suddenly, accompanied by a hissing sound, a wave of intense heat washed over him, dragging Li Mo as if he were being pulled into a dry wasteland, turning him into a withered blade of grass.

The Feiyi looked down at the boy below, its vertical pupils both greedy and cautious. It noticed that the dark light on the boy's body was like a candle flame in the wind, seemingly about to be extinguished.

He's dying!

"Roar!"

It finally stopped hesitating, let out a roar, and crashed down with the wind and sand.

Then.

The dry, howling wind became a curtain, upon which the ferocious, enormous shadow of a snake and the tiny young boy both cast their fighting figures.

Li Mo's aura fluctuated in strength, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, and whenever he was about to run out of energy, it would suddenly burst forth again.

As the fighting continued, one side gained strength while the other lost strength.

Feiyi was no longer the ferocious beast it once was, and it was becoming increasingly powerless in the ensuing struggle. After all, every time the boy had a "last burst of energy," the hammer would strike it, causing its internal organs to tremble violently.

Snake blood gradually splattered all over the mountaintop.

Only the Mountain Lord Temple remained unharmed.

Then.

After a long while.

The Feiyi lay limp on the ground, his vertical pupils lifeless.

"Weren't you... almost gone?"

Bang--

A hammer blow struck the shattered scales of the skull, the force penetrating the earth and creating a large, spiderweb-like crack. The Feiyi, filled with questions, lost its life force.

This time it's for real.

Li Mo, who had been holding back his forty and whose body was aching and numb, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He plopped down on the ravaged ground, panting and his eyelids drooping.

Just.

He killed a Sixth Grade Calamity Beast head-on! This achievement is enough to get him into the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

Including Nine-headed Serpent, who was killed using the power of the world to activate a divine weapon, it's even more terrifying. I wonder if the Heaven Derivation Sect's sphere of influence encompasses the Southern Border...

However, Li Mo had no time to think about those things; every cell in his body was sending out signals of fatigue.

He took the hammer and returned to the only intact temple, Mountain Lord Temple.

"Ice Block, are you all better?"

"I haven't decided yet."

"Ah?"

Li Mo was taken aback. He had asked if Ice Block was ready to change shifts, as he genuinely wanted to rest for a while.

What does "haven't thought it through" mean?

Ice Block's eyes seemed to hold a complex and conflicted expression.

"What haven't you thought about?"

"..."

Ying Bing lowered her eyes and looked outside nonchalantly, as if admiring the 'wonderful' scenery.

After a long pause, she finally spoke:

"Li Mo, you want to hear..."

"Snoring... snoring..."

Little Li's snoring at this moment is comparable to that of his beautiful female teacher.

He was sleeping soundly, his handsome face showing signs of fatigue. In the dim light of twilight, the interplay of light and shadow revealed that he had lost some of his childishness and gained a more rugged look.

Ying Bing was stunned for a moment, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips that she herself did not realize.

She moved the prayer mat closer and knelt on it.

She gently cradled his head and placed it on her long, slender legs, which were pressed together.

Letting him rest is more important than praising him, isn't it?

This time, the two little figures, one black and one white, didn't come out to argue.
