"Grandpa!
How could I trouble you to do this yourself?
Let me fight fellow Daoist Liu! "
Just as Xuanyuan Wudi and Liu Wuren were about to fight, Li Mo's voice came from above.
Then, his figure appeared between the two of them.
"Who are you? I won't fight a junior.
Leave quickly, or else I'll be known as a bully if I injure you! "
Liu Wuren saw Li Mo was in his twenties.
However, he exuded an aura that made him extremely fearful. This young man was much more dangerous than Xuanyuan Wudi.
"Ha-ha … I am Immortal Sun Sect's Li Mo. Xuanyuan Wudi is my grandpa.
I heard what you said. How about I represent my grandpa and fight you? "
"Y-you're Li Mo?"
Liu Wuren's eyes widened as he looked at the young man before him.
He had lived in the mountains for a long time, but Li Mo's name rang like thunder when he came to the Immortal Sun Sect.
But never did he expect Li Mo to be a youth in his twenties.
"I'm the real deal!"
Li Mo spoke softly and went next to Xuanyuan Wudi.
"Little Mo, my old bones can handle such a small matter. Let me do it!"
Xuanyuan Wudi didn't want Li Mo to get involved. He was one of the best in the Ancient Continent.
In the face of such provocation from his opponent, how could he swallow this resentment?
"Grandpa, this person isn't as simple as he looks.
He was so calm when facing you. I'm afraid he's got some tricks up his sleeve.
You must have expended a lot of energy in the battle with the imperial court yesterday. Let me face this person today! "
"Sigh!
I didn't think in two short years, I'd have to rely on you to take care of my old bones.
It seems I can't accept my old age. "
Xuanyuan Wudi sighed and went silent.
He knew Li Mo was doing this for his own good. If this were any other day, he'd fight Liu Wuren even if it meant death.
However, it was different today. If anything were to happen in front of so many guests, not only would they lose face, but the Immortal Sun Sect would also lose face.
"Liu Wuren, let's begin!"
Li Mo growled, standing with his hands behind his back. His eyes flashed coldly.
"Wow!
Li Mo was going to attack!
There's going to be a good show to watch. This Liu Wuren is really seeking his own death! "
"Yeah, I heard Nangong clan's Nangong Yun was killed by Li Mo. Nangong Yun was a grandmaster!"
"This is what they mean by 'the evils they bring upon themselves are the hardest to bear'. They don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
…
Liu Wuren's face turned ashen in the face of the guests' discussion. He no longer had the arrogance he had before.
He was debating whether or not to fight Li Mo, but what was said couldn't be taken back. He could only bite the bullet.
"What?
Liu Wuren, do you not dare to fight me? "
Facing Li Mo's overbearing aura, the prideful Liu Wuren couldn't take it anymore!
"Humph!
You don't even put me, your grandfather, in my eyes, so why would I be afraid of a little kid like you?
Today, in front of so many fellow Daoists, I'll teach you a good lesson, you arrogant brat! "
"Oh!
Since you're so confident, let's begin! "
Li Mo's expression didn't change at all, in stark contrast to Liu Wuren's caution.
"Alright, I want to see just how strong the famous Li Mo is."
Whoosh …
After saying that, Liu Wuren immediately took out a blazing broadsword.
As soon as the broadsword appeared, a wave of scorching heat immediately swept through the entire square. The rolling heat wave forced the surrounding guests to retreat to the edge of the square.
"Heavens!
This Liu Wuren has some tricks up his sleeve! "
"Yeah, that saber in his hand is no ordinary item."
"So what? I guarantee Li Mo will defeat him in three moves!"
…
The guests' whispers didn't disturb the two.
Especially Liu Wuren. He put all his attention on Li Mo, watching his every move, not daring to be careless.
"Ha-ha … I didn't expect him to have such a magic weapon.
Looks like this is what he's relying on! "
Li Mo didn't expect Liu Wuren to have a magic weapon of the same attribute as his Dragonscale Scarlet Sword. Moreover, it seemed to be a spiritual treasure.
However, Liu Wuren was wrong to think that he could defeat him with just this huge saber.
"Li Mo, blades are blind. Be careful.
Don't say I'm bullying you if I hurt you! "
"Ha-ha … Liu Wuren, show me what you got."
"Saber Mountain Flame Sea!"
Seeing how Li Mo didn't care about him, Liu Wuren used his strongest attack.
The broadsword was suddenly set ablaze with raging flames.
Under Liu Wuren's control, it was like an erupting volcano with the power to topple mountains and overturn seas as it roared at Li Mo!
"Come at me!"
Li Mo willed and the Dragonscale Scarlet Sword appeared in his hand.
Ao Ying wasn't the least bit flustered in the face of the raging fire. The Dragonscale Scarlet Sword let out a faint dragon roar as Ao Ying appeared before Li Mo in her true form.
The dragon opened its mouth wide and sucked in all the flames.
"Roar …"
A loud dragon roar resounded. Ao Ying seemed to want to continue.
"Heavens!
That's … a dragon? "
"The legendary dragon really exists!"
"T-this is Li Mo's power. It's too … too scary!"
Ao Ying's appearance had the crowd of onlookers tongue-tied.
"You're … a sword spirit?
You have a divine weapon! "
Liu Wuren was flabbergasted. He thought with his treasure in hand, no matter how strong Li Mo was, he wouldn't lose this fight.
But he didn't expect Li Mo's first move would be to take him down a notch. He had no will to fight against this dragon.
Recalling his bold words, his face flushed red. He wanted nothing more than to dig a hole in the ground and hide.
"Li Mo!
Stop … there's no need to fight. I will leave Immortal Sun Sect and never step into your territory! "
When comparing one's life to one's reputation, one's life was obviously more important.
Even the prideful Liu Wuren had to lower his head in the face of absolute power.
"Alright!
Since fellow Daoist says so, our fight ends here. Do as you wish, fellow Daoist! "
Ao Ying and the Dragonscale Scarlet Sword were gone.
His face was as calm as ever.
