“Shade-devil Sky Cut!”
Yin Ting roared and slashed out powerfully with his saber.
Mighty saber radiance imbued with powerful saber will shot to the heavens and rocked the surrounding areas.
This move was astoundingly powerful!
It was filled with Shade-devil Qi and powerful shade-devil Ultimacy engulfed the surrounding areas.
Everything in the saber Qi’s way was completely destroyed and the heaven and earth were split into two. The ground below was ripped apart, forming a deep crevice of more than 500 kilometers.
The saber Qi moved incredibly quickly and slashed ruthlessly at Su Mo like a gigantic saber.
“Sh*t!” Su Mo turned pale. He knew that he would never be able to block this attack.
Even if his Earthly Shield could block this attack, the impact of it would kill him.
As the terrifying saber Qi drew closer to him, he thought quickly and his Divine Map appeared in his palm.
His figure immediately disappeared as he entered the Divine Map.
Su Mo could not block this attack, so he could only escape into the Divine Map.
As an Imperial-level treasure, even if it could not boost his attacking or defensive abilities, it could not be easily destroyed.
Bam!
The powerful saber Qi smashed against the Divine Map and the Divine Map was flung away by the resulting blast.
“Hm? A spatial treasure?” Yin Ting’s brows rose.
He flew quickly toward the Divine Map and was just about to grab it when Su Mo suddenly reappeared and fled with the Divine Map.
“Damn it!” Yin Ting turned pale.
He immediately roared, “I don’t believe that I can’t kill you today!”
Yin Ting was going mad with rage. How could a weak True Darkness Realm martial artist like Su Mo not only be so powerful, but also have so many tricks up his sleeve?
He was strong enough to easily kill Su Mo, but he just could not so.
“Die!” Yin Ting went after Su Mo again, sending out waves of saber Qi charging toward him.
Su Mo’s body kept flashing as Phantom Avatars continued to appear then self-destruct, slowing Yin Ting down.
Each time he drew closer to Su Mo, Su Mo could send out his Phantom Aatars.
Each time he did so, he could stop Yin Ting for a brief moment, leaving him fuming in his tracks.
He continued using this tactic as he fled, but after a while, Su Mo started to find it hard to maintain the momentum.
He felt that his Dark Force was almost exhausted. This tactic of continually creating Phantom Avatars was a creating a massive strain on his Dark Force.
He might have dozens of Spiritual Spirals churning out vast amounts of Dark Force, but even that was about to be completely depleted.
“Su Mo, even if you have a ten thousand tricks up your sleeve, you can’t escape this time!” Yin Ting shouted as noticed that Su Mo’s aura had weakened, a clear sign that his Dark Force was severely depleted.
“What should I do?” Su Mo frowned as his mind whirled. He still had many elixirs, but those were utterly inadequate.
If this went on, he would definitely be killed by Yin Ting.
Su Mo’s eyes suddenly lit up as he spotted something in the distance.
“Have I reached?” Su Mo was thrilled to see a sprawling mountain range just 500 kilometers ahead.
This mountain range was almost completely engulfed with mist that rolled all across the land with no end in sight.
This was the Mist Mountains!
Su Mo rushed into the Mist Mountains without any hesitation.
“Sh*t!” Yin Ting had also spotted the sea of mist. Naturally, he knew that this was Mist Mountains, one of the ten forbidden areas in Firmament and Continent.
Once Su Mo entered the Mist Mountains, he would not be able to kill him.
“Come back!” Yin Ting roared and reached out, using his Dark Force to form a huge palm that reached out to grab Su Mo.
“Ha ha! When I get out of here, I swear I will make you suffer ten times more than what you’ve done to me today!” Su Mo said with a laugh.
He then extracted his remaining Dark Force to form two Phantom Avatars that charged toward Yin Ting’s Dark Force palm.
Boom! Boom!
Two loud explosions sounded and Su Mo’s figure disappeared into the rolling mist.
“Damn it!” Yin Ting cursed as he stopped at the edge of Mist Mountains. He swept the surrounding mist with his piercing gaze.
He had no way of pursuing Su Mo further once he entered the Mist Mountains. If he charged into the Mist Mountains, it would be almost impossible to find his way out again!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Soon, Elder Qi appeared with the other two men.
“Has he entered the Mist Mountains?” Elder Qi asked gravely.
Yin Ting nodded silently.
“90% of those who entered the Mist Mountains will perish. I’m sure he won’t be able to escape this fate either!” Elder Qi said with a sigh. He had assumed that capturing Su Mo would be an easy task, but did not expect it to end up like this.
He knew that an admonishing from Elder Huangfu awaited him when he returned.
It would be better if Yin Ting had killed Su Mo, because Elder Huangfu would probably turn a blind eye to this due to Yin Ting’s status.
“I’m not too sure about that. People have made it out of Mist Mountains alive in the past!” Yin Ting said with a shake of his head. There were a few experts who had once made it out alive.
Although only one in a hundred could make it out alive, this showed that the Mist Mountain was not a place that one was guaranteed to perish.
“Let’s monitor this place for a few more days!” Elder Qi said after some thought. “If he doesn’t reappear after a few days, he must have walked into the depths of Mist Mountains. I bet we would never see him alive again!”
The rest of the group nodded in agreement.
The mist was so thick and dense that Su Mo could not see his fingers. He had completely lost his sense of direction.
The entire place was dead silent, not a sound could be heard.
Su Mo used his Ghostly Magic Sight Martial Soul and found that he could barely see for more than 33 meters ahead of him.
Su Mo’s gaze cautiously swept his surroundings, and he let out a sigh of relief when he did not discover any threat.
The moment he relaxed, he suddenly felt waves of fatigue wash over him.
He had sustained serious injuries and this combined with his depleted Dark Force left him feeling extremely weak.
“Let me first replenish my Dark Force and tend to my wounds!” Su Mo said with a sigh. He then descended to the ground and sat cross-legged.
He took out some healing elixirs and elixirs that could replenish his cultivation. He swallowed them, closed his eyes and started the healing process.
After four to six hours, Su Mo’s condition improved and his Dark Force had also recovered by 20%. He then stopped cultivating and rose to his feet.
“I need to make sure I have a way of escaping!”
Su Mo knew that it would be extremely difficult to walk out of the Mist Mountains for one would thoroughly lose his sense of direction within these mountains. Thus, he would leave a mark to prevent himself from getting lost here.
Su Mo turned back and started retracing his steps back to the edge of the Mist Mountains to leave his mark.
His face soon turned pale. He knew he had only been around 300 meters from the edge of Mist Mountains, but after he walked around for close to 3 kilometers, he still had not found his way back.
