Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Fighting Just Like the Old Senior

Purple Sun Taoist’s face was ashen, and Tihu Taoist didn’t look much better.

Because they noticed that when Li Mo looked up, his gaze directly intersected with the water mirror, as if sensing someone was spying on him.

Tihu Taoist instinctively put away the water mirror. "What is the origin of Mountain and Sea’s magic?"

"Seems related to Hu Wen. I’ve seen a cultivator use it before, but...but its power was nowhere near this terrifying. Unbelievable."

Purple Sun Taoist’s hair stood on end as the overwhelming demon flames of the Red Fox still echoed in his mind. He doubted he could withstand them unscathed.

Clearly, Li Mo had only been promoted to the Weak Crown Period for two years, yet he gave off the feeling of facing a formidable enemy.

While the two men pondered, Qingming Daozi quietly stepped out of the pavilion.

After a brief silence, Purple Sun Taoist took a cup of tea and drank it. His remarks no longer touched upon the matter of seizing the Mountain and Sea Daoist Temple.

Having been stuck at the Early-stage Foundation Establishment for a hundred years, they still had some self-awareness.

Since the Mountain and Sea Daoist Temple would not change hands for the time being, offending Li Mo rashly wasn’t worth it. Besides, there would be opportunities later; they could always instigate other factions to claim the medicine field.

Just then.

Footsteps echoed from outside the temple.

"Junior Li Mo, hearing of the senior duo’s high regard, has come to meet you."

Purple Sun Taoist and Tihu Taoist abruptly stood up in shock. Glancing around, Qingming Daozi was nowhere to be seen. Clearly, she had used a spiritual tablet to contact Li Mo, betraying them.

"That sly woman, neither Yin nor Yang, played us like fools."

Li Mo stood in the courtyard with a smile, casually absorbing a white crane into the Evergreen Tree, sparing neither the dozen koi in the pond.

He licked his lips and, in front of the two, uprooted the bamboo forest and put it into the Evergreen Tree.

"Honored seniors, which of you would like to spar with me?"

With Qingming Daozi absent from the temple, if they refused to fight, the medicine field would effectively be handed over to Li Mo, and the Mixed Grain Shop would inevitably blame the two of them.

Purple Sun Taoist forced a grin. "Weak Crown Stage Practitioners can only hold one medicine field at a time. Mountain and Sea brat, surely you must know this."

"I know. But if I seize the medicine field only to relinquish it, then it becomes ownerless."

An ownerless medicine field might not be easily reclaimed by the Mixed Grain Shop; others, like loose cultivators, could seize the opportunity to vie for Qingming Daoist Temple.

While speaking, Li Mo was already loading soil into the Evergreen Tree. After all, Duozhi Mountain is made of limbs, and the soil must be transported by someone.

Purple Sun Taoist, realizing there was no retreat, suddenly found his head throbbing red-hot as his rotting flesh began to boil and liquefied, dripping onto the ground.

Tihu Taoist took several steps back upon seeing this, eventually choosing to distance himself entirely from the Daoist Temple.

"Honored Purple Sun Elder, please enlighten me..."

Li Mo suddenly sensed an inexplicable danger and forcefully pushed off his right leg to sidestep.

From the soil, a ghastly white arm nearly two meters long burst forth, grabbed Li Mo’s ankle, and flung him toward the courtyard wall nearby.

The walls, stained with pieces of Purple Sun Taoist’s flesh, soon sprouted arms one after another.

"The Great Annihilation Bodyless Skill..."

Li Mo squinted his eyes. According to the information provided by Qingming Daozi, Purple Sun Taoist’s Great Annihilation Bodyless Skill excelled at turning flesh into formlessness and summoning tangible arm-like structures.

He didn’t dare underestimate it as eight spider limbs sprouted from his spine.

The Eight-Armed Spine Nerve instantly underwent insectification, and a gigantic wolf spider clung to Li Mo’s back, stabilizing his body while moving rapidly.

Purple Sun Taoist’s face twisted with rage. His entire body, with a large portion of flesh already decomposing, seemed to have melted into a meaty paste, which then spread across the courtyard and transformed into numerous arms.

"Li Mo, let me show you the wonders of the Great Annihilation Bodyless Skill..."

Dozens of arms clawed at Li Mo, but the Eight-Armed Spine Nerve intercepted each one. However, the limbs showed subtle fragmentation, leaving behind multiple dark red bruises across Li Mo’s back.

Li Mo shifted tactics to minimize damage, summoning an eight-meter-long Ghost Tiger using Hui Qingyi.

Purple Sun Taoist watched Li Mo’s hands intently, believing that hand gestures were a prerequisite for Hui Qingyi’s beast-summoning technique. Yet this time, there were none.

Realizing he’d been duped, Purple Sun Taoist’s expression turned even more humiliatingly enraged.

"Roar!"

The Ghost Tiger let out a booming roar. Amid the interwoven shadows, its needle-like fur scattered outward, clearing at least two or three hundred arms.

"You must be a naive yellow-haired youth to think magic still requires gestures!"

Li Mo continued to provoke Purple Sun Taoist’s psyche while channeling three-tenths of his Blood and Flesh Spiritual Power into the Ghost Tiger through Hui Qingyi.

The Tattooed Beast, having undergone the Nourishing Yuan Fruit’s refinement, appeared outwardly unchanged but had greatly increased its capacity for Blood and Flesh Spiritual Power.

"ROAR!!"

The Ghost Tiger’s back sprouted jagged bone spines, and two arms burst forth from under its armpits. Its size swelled to nearly ten meters, and its four arms swung freely in the courtyard as though it were invincible.

"Impossible! I’ve been at Foundation Establishment for a hundred years..."

Purple Sun Taoist momentarily faltered, but seeing the murderous resolve in Li Mo’s eyes, he forced himself to calm down and swallowed an elixir.

Crunch, crunch.

The sounds of bones snapping rang out as Purple Sun Taoist’s spine bent backward, and his twelve ribs grew incessantly, shredding through his flesh and transforming into massive arms.

His Corpse Spirit Root became exposed in the air, its surface already showing signs of metalization.

The commotion from Qingming Daoist Temple swiftly drew attention from the Mountain and Sea Market. Loose cultivators, recognizing Li Mo’s involvement through the tiger’s roar, speculated.

Having just eliminated Wang Hunshou, could he now be eying the second-tier medicine field?

Truly, the Mountain and Sea Hermit never acts for long periods, but when he does, it’s earth-shattering.

Tihu Taoist was trembling in fear. Amid the swirling dust, he barely caught sight of dozens of massive arms locked in battle with a colossal silhouette.

The loose cultivators working the fields fled in panic, scrambling recklessly along the mountain paths.

"Mountain and Sea brat, hiding behind a mountain lord—what kind of fight is this?!!"

Purple Sun Taoist was seething with frustration, knowing he had burned his foundation to unleash such power, yet Li Mo, using Poison Bee swarms underfoot and the Eight-Armed Spine Nerve on his back, gracefully danced around every strike from the Ghost Tiger.

"Heh heh heh..."

Li Mo was long aware that, as a Beast Cultivator, confronting an enemy head-on was the stupidest option.

"Honored elder, such skill leaves this junior gasping for breath."

"Yet this junior’s Taoist Body ensures Spiritual Power flows endlessly in cycles. Elder must take care not to exhaust yourself unto death."

"Elder, the multi-limbed path you practice truly inspires great admiration in me."

Li Mo continued to mock Purple Sun Taoist with sarcastic comments. Judging by the fresh blood trickling from his mouth and nose, his Tao Heart was likely already fractured by more than half.

Purple Sun Taoist’s rage grew, but his aura steadily weakened.

Li Mo seized the opportunity to pummel him mercilessly, summoning a fifteen-meter-long Kun Whale.

The barnacles on the Kun Whale’s tail fin erupted with a powerful gust of air, and the massive beast slammed directly into Purple Sun Taoist’s head, causing the arms filling the courtyard to crumble instantly.

A whirlwind of dust swept through.

Qingming Daoist Temple fell silent.

Moments later, a figure slowly emerged from the dust. Casually, he tossed Purple Sun Taoist’s corpse into the medicine field, which absorbed it entirely to nourish spiritual material.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Tihu Taoist fled desperately toward the northwest.

"Many thanks, Mountain and Sea Senior Brother."

Qingming Daozi approached the medicine field and bowed respectfully.

"Where’s the other old Taoist?"

"Mountain and Sea Senior Brother, Tihu has already fled in fright. His strength is also inferior to Purple Sun. I know the location of his temple and will challenge him myself."

Qingming Daozi had grown weary of the two men’s greed. Secretly contacting Li Mo had never been for peaceful resolution; returning to Rong Town was always her backup plan.

She did not fear retribution from the Mixed Grain Shop, as losing the medicine field was the real concern—Foundation Establishment cultivators without hope for Fake Pills might as well die ten times over.

"Alright."

Li Mo waved dismissively and departed. With a few flickers of movement, he vanished from sight.
