Prince Gu Mo knew how to take advantage of the right timing. Just as Su Mo went for the final blow, ready to hit Young Master Ba Yun out of the formation range, he struck.
Of course, he did not do that to save Young Master Ba Yun, but to capture Su Mo.
Just as Su Mo unleashed his final blow, he found himself surrounded by the Ghost Fog.
The billowing Ghost Fog was like a sea of ghostly energy, drowning him in an instant.
“What?”
“No!”
“It’s Prince Gu Mo!”
Ye Lingtian, Long Teng, and other onlookers paled when they saw this. They were so focused on the battle between Su Mo and Young Master Ba Yun that they had paid little attention to Prince Gu Mo.
After the billowing ghostly energy took down Su Mo, it plunged into the depths of the collapsed void and disappeared without a trace extremely fast.
Right then, Su Mo’s final blow managed to hit Young Master Ba Yun. It flung the man out beyond the horizons, out of the perimeter covered by the Formation Hood, and thus he was completely eliminated.
“Su Mo!” Shocked, Long Teng quickly ran towards the depths of the void.
But there were no longer any traces of either Prince Gu Mo or Su Mo.
Deep in the void, there was no direction and no power source. In fact, it was easy to get lost in there.
“This is bad!” Long Teng was beyond dignified, but when he was reminded of Su Mo’s capabilities, he felt a little relieved. Prince Gu Mo might not be able to lay a hand on Su Mo.
But he had to get to the bottom of this, just to make sure.
His divine thoughts drifted out of the heat. Within the emptiness he detected Prince Gu Mo’s aura, and began to give chase.
Ye Lingtian and Gongsun Changjue did not go after him to track down Prince Gu Mo. Long Teng would have to do it. They had to defeat the people from the Fifth and Eighth Cities while they were two leaders short.
“Take them down!”
Ye Lingtian pointed at those from the Fifth and Eighth Cities and gave the order, his voice booming in all directions.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
The crowd echoed and rushed towards the people from the Fifth and Eighth Cities. They all knew that since both Young Master Ba Yun and Prince Gu Mo were not present at that moment, this was the best time to strike.
“Kill!”
Their targets did not retreat, in fact they braced themselves for battle. That was because if they fell back to the City, they would be singled out eventually. They could still stand a chance if they went all out.
A war broke out soon after. Without Young Master Ba Yun and Prince Gu Mo, on top of being outnumbered, the ones from the Fifth and Eighth Cities were no match for the ones from the first three Cities. Eventually, they crumbled and fled.
That was when the Sixth City came to provide backup.
The Sixth City was where Chu Tianxu came from. They did not have any Young Masters on their side, in addition to having lost a lot of manpower previously, so they were considered the weakest City.
Only with the Sixth City’s participation could the Fifth and Eighth Cities barely manage to ward off Ye Lingtian and his gang.
However, defeat was inevitable, since they did not have any strong fighters to begin with.
Whereas Ye Lingtian, the Flaming Devil Ghost Sage, and Gongsun Changjue were Young Masters through and through. Their combat powers were superbly strong and almost unbeatable.
…
Outside Shenkun Small World, a discernible smile twinkled in Di Yihun’s eyes.
This time, perhaps Prince Gu Mo could capture Su Mo once and for all!
Prince Gu Mo’s power was not comparable with Young Master Ba Yun at all. With sufficient preparation, he attacked out of the blue. It was highly likely he could capture Su Mo.
Once he managed to do so, then all would go according to plan. From there, Long Chang and the Dragon Tribe could be easily dealt with.
Now, it was up to Prince Gu Mo to finish the job.
Di Yihun was brimming with excitement because he had a gut feeling that once he fused himself with Su Mo’s soul, he could make an immediate breakthrough and step into the realm of the Advanced Supreme Being.
His talents would also be further improved.
By then, no one in the entire domain would be his opponent
On the other side, Long Chang and the members of the Dragon Tribe were feeling really solemn. Most of them did not know Prince Gu Mo’s intentions. They merely thought Prince Gu Mo had sneaked up on Su Mo to get him eliminated.
Only Long Chang and a fair few secretly made educated guesses about Prince Gu Mo’s true intentions.
At the same time, the group from the Human Palace were not as calm as the Dragon Tribe.
Palace Master Rende did not look so well. He too speculated Prince Gu Mo’s intention. After all, something about Helan Shang, Young Master Ba Yun, and even Prince Gu Mo did not feel right.
“Father! Su Mo would be fine, right?”Ji Yueqin looked deeply worried as she asked Xuan Tian Supreme Being next to her.
Xuan Tian Supreme Being remained silent and merely shook his head.
Even he could not be sure whether Su Mo would be fine or not. Despite knowing that Su Mo was unbelievably skilled beyond comparison, he bore in mind that Prince Gu Mo was not a typical candidate either.
Amongst the thousands of candidates here, Prince Gu Mo was definitely an arrogant presence, perhaps only contested by Ye Lingtian.
Of course, there was one other. That would be Hun Tianling of the Chaotic Holy Court. But he liked to keep a low profile, and currently he was still residing in the Ninth City, his specific powers yet to be known.
Previously, Prince Gu Mo had fought with Ye Lingtian before and seemed to have turned out slightly better than the former. But probably neither of them had given their all back then.
At present, the people from the Ancient Demon State seemed calm. Grandmaster Mo Changfeng quietly watched the battle happening below in Shenkun Small World, as though he had no interest in the affair between Prince Gu Mo and Su Mo.
…
In the depths of the void.
A mass of Ghost Fog was moving fast with the speed of wind and electricity.
The dark mass was filled with a dense aura, with constant roars coming from within.
“Su Mo, don’t even think about escaping my Ancient Demon Domain!” Prince Gu Mo’s voice rang aloud, full of indifference.
Within the Ghost Fog, Su Mo stood upright. All was dark, with the Ultimate Holy Sword in his hand as the only source of bright light.
“Ancient Demon Domain?” he muttered under his breath. It was his one moment of carelessness that had gotten him into this mess.
He tried an attack, but the space created by the Ghost Fog was impeccable. His sword energy was like clay oxen going into the sea. Not even a scratch was made.
“That’s right. This is the strongest ultimate skill running in my veins. You can’t escape!” Prince Gu Mo’s voice, sounding indifferent, rang in Su Mo’s ears.
The Ancient Demon Domain, under normal circumstances, could only be summoned by the Supreme Beings of the Ancient Demons. Yet he was exceptionally gifted and, even at only the Eighth Grade of training, had managed to summon it.
“Are you that confident?” Su Mo said coldly. He was observing this Ancient Demon Domain rather carefully.
The demonic power here was very strong, filled with great devilishness, but it seemed it was only effective in trapping people.
“Just you wait! Once I shake off Long Teng, I’ll have you refined!” Prince Gu Mo cackled and wasted no time exchanging idle banter, for someone was trailing behind them. It was Long Teng. He had to finish this quickly because the Eighth City could perish really easily without him as their leader..
