"Humph! He's just an ant with a good strength!"
Hu Yuanlong looked at Su Mo behind him and shook his head with disdain.
"This man has a good defense, but with his cultivation of Lv 6 True Spirit Realm, the journey to the 10,000-year Grotto will peel off his skin!" Li Hai said with a laugh.
...
The closer they were, the stronger the wind grew. Sharp wind blades with a length of dozens of meters appeared repeatedly. Though they were only a mile ahead of Su Mo, the wind they suffered was twice as powerful as that the one he was suffering.
Considering their strength, it was a huge effort for them to take such a long walk.
Their air shield of Genuine Vitality had already been broken and the Body-protection Genuine Vitality was in use, shaking heavily due to the attack of the wind blades all over the sky.
Everyone moved slowly and carefully in case of the sudden rupture of the Body-protection Genuine Vitality, which would cause cuts in their bodies. If so, they would have to bare either a wound or even death.
None of them had a stronger flesh body than Su Mo's. However, the defense of their Body-protection Genuine Vitality was better owing to their high cultivation.
Running inevitably into a huge wind blade, they shattered it firmly with bare hands.
Su Mo gloated at the misfortune of those in front of him and thought that it was only a matter of time to catch up with them. Anyway, they hadn't succeeded.
Meanwhile, among the five, Hu Yuanlong, Fang Qingyun, Jiang Xian, and Li Hai were almost at the same speed and the cave was more or less at the same distance from all of them.
Yu Wenjun, half a mile ahead of others, was only a half mile from the cave.
Su Mo gave off a dazzling golden light after a second acceleration. He continued to ignore small wind blades and handled threatening blades only.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The Sharp blades cut Su Mo heavily with thunderous sounds.
Recklessly, he moved forward with a speed almost three times faster than Hu Yuanlong's.
In a moment, he was only 33 meters from them.
"What? How can he be so fast?"
Having not expected that Su Mo could move at such a high speed, they were shocked and their facial expressions slightly changed.
"What a defensive flesh!" Fang Qingyun said, squinting with astonished.
"We must stop him, everyone!"
Hu Yuanlong shouted coldly, sharp lights glittering in his eyes.
"I'll take him!"
Fang Qingyun chuckled and took out her flute again. She was surprised that Su Mo could have wakened up under the attack of Illusional Melody before, so she was going to fight him with the real power of her Illusional Melody again.
As she played the flute, the melodious sound was only heard by Su Mo instead of spreading all the directions.
"Humph!" Su Mo snorted, as he saw Fang Qingyun playing her flute one more time.
...
He had fallen into her trap once, and as the saying says: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
He blocked his hearing with two wisps of Genuine Vitality while he focused to be in a state of unity between spirit and body and abandoned all the distractions.
However, The melodious flute got through the Genuine Vitality around his ears right into his mind.
Su Mo went into a trance for a while, but it only lasted for half of a blink. Then, he snapped the tip of his tongue and recovered instantly.
"Bitch!"
Su Mo felt infuriated. If he was dragged into the illusion, he would get seriously injured under the terrifying attack of the gale even if he had a strong physical defense.
He let out a shout and struck at the woman with his sword.
The whistling sharp sword Qi cracked all the wind blades fluttering in the air and instantly approached Fang Qingyun.
"You're tired of living!"
Having not expected that Su Mo dared to attack her, Fang Qingyun let out a scream and broke the sword Qi by swinging her flute.
The flute was not only a musical instrument but also a weapon to her.
"Forget it! You can't pass us!" Fang Qingyun said coldly, looking at Su Mo with great killing desire.
...
"Really?" Su Mo said sneering.
As the gold light around him became brighter, he quickly rushed toward Fang Qingyun.
"How over-confident you are!"
Fang Qingyun smirked at his action. Then, she swung her flute at Su Mo and a wisp of blue Qi dashed toward him like a sharp arrow.
The blue Qi was sharper than a knife, piercing through the air and the wind blades to directly strike Su Mo's chest.
"Broke!"
With a shout, Su Mo used his Spirit-slayer Sword to accurately stab the wisp of blue Qi.
POOM!
The explosion pushed him five steps back and disturbed his Qi blood.
"She's incredibly strong!"
Su Mo was stunned, for his strength had soared a lot but still was weaker than his opponent.
Fang Qingyun was the genius ranked sixth on the list of Top 100 Talents in Dark Domain which was the largest among the East Continent. No wonder she had such a strong combat force.
Fang Qingyun was also shocked by Su Mo. Although she hadn't used her full power, he was pushed back just five steps by that attack which had been strong enough to kill an ordinary veteran Lv 8 True Spirit Realm martial artist!
She had to stop attacking and try her best to dodge the wind blades flying toward her.
SWOOSH!
Su Mo also stopped attacking and quickly rushed forward against wind blades. He was ready to overcome them.
Right now, Yu Wenjun was only half a mile from the cave. If he continued to fight with this woman, Yu Wenjun would get 10,000-year Stalactite and then he would have to steal it from him.
Although he was very strong, Su Mo was not confident about this plan.
Yu Wenjun was at Peak Lv 8 True Spirit Realm, but he might have the combat force of a half step to the Enlightenment Realm martial artist.
Therefore, Su Mo had to rush forward as fast as he could.
His only advantage was his strong defense.
His Body-protection Genuine Vitality and his body power were strong enough to withstand 90% of the wind blades.
Many wind blades could easily break his defense, but they couldn't break his body. Nevertheless, a hit on his body was excruciatingly painful to him.
Moreover, he knew that his body was close to its limit under the attacks.
"We won't let you pass!"
Hu Yuanlong and the three other people were also very anxious and wanted to catch Yu Wenjun up as quickly as possible, but they would rather stop Su Mo first.
"Get back!"
"You're asking to die!"
"Die!"
Hu Yuanlong, Jiang Xian, and Li Hai attacked at the same time.
Immediately, Su Mo was blocked by sharp saber radiance, vast fist radiance, and giant palm print.
These attacks freaked Su Mo out because their strengths were as good as Fang Qingyun's. If he was hit, he would be seriously injured.
