Chapter 10: The Northern Silent Mountains

The Northern Peyote Mountain Range, a dangerous place infested with demonic beasts, was filled with many unknown perils, but of course it was also accompanied by many opportunities.

The martial artists from Tian Lan City and some of the neighbouring cities would often form teams to come here to hunt demonic beasts and search for spiritual medicines.

But almost every time they came back, there would be people who were injured, and even some who would never come back.

After most of the day's rush, Lin Mo had also arrived at the North Pewter Mountain Range.

Although there were, from time to time, chilling beast roars coming from the mountain range, Lin Mo walked in without the slightest hesitation.

"Roar!"

He had just entered the mountain range not long ago when a wolf-shaped demonic beast came swooping towards him.

It was a third-stage demonic beast, although its speed and strength weren't weak.

But to Lin Mo, it wasn't a threat yet.

He only saw the long knife in his hand sweep across, and the demon wolf was split into two by a single slash.

After the demon wolf died, a white light floated out from his brow.

That was his beast's soul, and normally the soul of a demonic beast would float out after its death.

If it wasn't captured in time with a soul crystal, the beast would soon disappear into the heavens and earth.

Lin Mo's mind moved, and the Ying Long Martial Spirit whistled out, swallowing the beast's soul in one gulp.

"Third rank demonic beast, not bad."

Lin Mo was satisfied and continued to walk towards the mountain range.

The deeper he went into the mountain range, the more demonic beasts there were.

And the higher the level, Lin Mo had only been walking for less than an hour before he had killed more than a dozen third rank demonic beasts.

There were also four fourth ranked demonic beasts that Lin Mo fought to defeat.

When the Ying Long Martial Spirit devoured the last fourth rank beast soul, the dragon's body suddenly shook.

Five white lights flashed out.

Human rank fifth grade!

This time when the martial spirit was elevated, Lin Mo felt even more clearly that a strange energy flowed out from the Ying Long Martial Spirit.

It ended up travelling all over his body, followed by a feeling of abundant power that swept through his limbs and veins.

"Is this considered nourishing the dragon body?" Lin Mo said inwardly.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

"What a way to make us look."

Suddenly, eight masked black-robed men suddenly sprang out of the mountain forest behind them, quickly surrounding Lin Mo.

"What people?"

Lin Mo's eyes stared, gripping the long sword in his hand tightly as he said in a deep voice.

Each of these people was also holding a long knife, their aura was strong, and none of them were weak.

"The people who sent you to the West."

A tall middle-aged man in the lead said indifferently, his eyes flashing with killing intent.

Lin Mo sniffed and gripped the long sword in his hand tighter.

The other party came up and said that they wanted him dead, so they were obviously prepared.

"Kill him." The middle-aged man coldly ordered.

Swish! Swish!

The other seven men in black immediately swung their swords and came towards Lin Mo to kill him.

As soon as they made their move, Lin Mo could feel their cultivation aura, surprisingly all of them were experts at the 4th level of the Martial Dao.

And looking at his strikes, they all had some combat experience as well.

Lin Mo's face was grave, and he immediately unfolded his Light Hung Steps and quickly flashed next to one of the black-clothed men.

Whew!

The long blade in his hand swept across the room and a burst of lightning erupted out.

Instantaneous Thunder Chop!

Lightning flashed across, and the man immediately waved his sword to resist.

Clank!

However, that long blade was instantly chopped off, and that violent swipe of thunder light slashed across his neck.

He then widened his eyes and slowly collapsed.

After decapitating one person with a single slash, Lin Mo's figure immediately retreated violently, dodging those other blazing attacks.

"What?"

The crowd of black-clothed men exclaimed in shock, not expecting Lin Mo to be able to kill one person with a single slash.

Although Chen Ziyang had already told them that Lin Mo was very strong.

But they didn't expect it to be this strong.

"What a strong martial skill."

The middle-aged man who was leading the group exclaimed in shock as the pupils of his eyes shrunk slightly.

Swoosh!

In the next moment, he stopped watching and immediately drew his long sword and rushed towards Lin Mo.

Whew!

The leading middle-aged man used all his Yuan Power and slashed down towards Lin Mo.

That was clearly one of the blade martial arts as well, only to see flames emerging from his long blade.

"Chen Clan Flaming Blade, you're from the Chen Clan!"

Looking at the flame filled blade, Lin Mo immediately recognised it.

This was a famous martial skill of the Chen Clan, and its grade was the upper grade of the Mortal Rank.

"Hmph, so what if you know? You're already a dead man."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly.

Lin Mo naturally wouldn't sit back and wait for death, only to see his quickly catalysing his Heavenly Dragon Yuan Power.

The Instantaneous Thunder Chop erupted once again!

Clang!

The two attackers collided and clanging sounds resounded out.

After a loud bang, Lin Mo's figure was fiercely shaken back more than ten steps by that strong force.

The qi and blood in his body was churning more than once, and blood was spilling out from the corners of his mouth.
