343: Offense and defense changed

“Hmm?”

This scene somewhat exceeded Mo Emperor’s expectations, but he no longer had time to think much. Leaving behind a “I’ll deal with you later,” he turned and led his army directly towards Gu Liangyuan.

After Mo Emperor left, the city-guarding general rubbed his stinging face and vented his anger on the soldiers guarding the city:

“What are you looking at? If it weren’t for you, would I have been scolded?”

“Quickly activate the Grand Array! Even if the Heavenly King Laozi comes, we cannot let anyone else in, understand?”

“Understood!”

Just like that, the city-guarding general stood fuming on the city wall, making a firm decision in his heart.

This time, no matter who comes, I won’t open it!

Mo Emperor naturally had no way of knowing the city-guarding general’s indignation.

Looking at Gu Liangyuan, who had returned, he held a sword in his right hand, opened his mouth, and spat out a small seal.

This small seal was bright orange and yellow, enveloped in imperial Qi.

Below the small seal, three large characters were written:

“Zichu Seal”

This seal was the Son of Heaven’s private seal.

It was nurtured daily with the Son of Heaven’s Qi and was rarely seen by others.

The small seal expanded against the wind, transforming into a small mountain, and pressed directly towards Gu Liangyuan!

The material of this small seal was unknown, but its power was comparable to the Peaceful Yuan Treasure.

Feeling the large seal above his head, Gu Liangyuan’s thoughts turned, and the Peaceful Yuan Treasure and Supreme whisk were placed before his chest.

“Rise!”

With a loud shout, his legs sank deep into the ground, and his body grew inch by inch, firmly holding up the large seal!

Boom!

As Mo Emperor exerted force, the weight of the large seal increased again.

It made Gu Liangyuan feel as if he was lifting not a large seal, but an immeasurable ocean.

Centered on Gu Liangyuan, the ground within nearly a thousand miles also began to crack!

Only Gu Liangyuan’s figure remained perfectly straight!

Although he was holding the seal with both hands, Gu Liangyuan’s other six hands were not idle.

With two hands, he drew the Chaos Bow, and the Qiongqi Bone Arrow was shot directly at the tens of thousands of Nascent Soul elites!

Mo Emperor naturally would not sit idly by.

“How dare you!”

With a loud shout, the sword in his hand flew out, heading straight for the Qiongqi Bone Arrow, intending to block Gu Liangyuan’s attack with it.

Just as Mo Emperor made his move, Gu Liangyuan’s other two hands formed a hand seal, unleashing the Sword Art Beyond the Heavens again!

After forming the hand seal, a sword tip emerged from beyond the clouds.

It was like a mountain inverted, with a magnificent Aura!

Mo Emperor was greatly shocked!

He didn’t expect that Gu Liangyuan could still kill enemies while holding the Zichu Seal with both hands!

Although it was only a fleeting glance, he could tell the extraordinary nature of this move.

With over a dozen Laws intertwining, such a Divine Ability could probably only be unleashed by Gu Liangyuan.

But at this moment, he no longer had time for other reactions. All he could do was frantically urge the Laws to further increase the Zichu Seal’s weight.

This was to prevent Gu Liangyuan from continuing to use other means.

Feeling the increased power of the Zichu Seal, Gu Liangyuan sneered.

“Grow!”

With a loud shout, his muscles instantly bulged!

His bones and sinews clanged, like muffled thunder, and also like a tiger’s roar and a Dragon’s cry!

His blood surged, even emitting a clear gurgling sound as it flowed!

All the veins on his body also bulged as a result!

As Gu Liangyuan exerted his strength, not only was he not suppressed by the Zichu Seal, but his body actually rose inch by inch!

With a loud roar, he pushed the precious seal above his head with force, sending it directly towards Mo Emperor.

Whoosh!

At the same time, the giant sword in the air had already fallen.

Although there were many Mahayana Realm Cultivators in the army attempting to block it, it was all in vain.

With one sword strike, two hundred thousand enemies were killed!

More than half of the soldiers who had been pursuing Mo Emperor were directly killed or wounded!

Mo Emperor watched this scene, feeling as if his heart was bleeding!

Two hundred thousand Nascent Soul Realm Body Cultivators!

This was the fruit of his painstaking efforts, cultivated over two hundred years!

He breathed heavily as he looked at Gu Liangyuan. Although his insides were burning, he hadn’t completely lost his mind.

He was constantly calculating in his mind whether it was worth using that jade pendant against Gu Liangyuan.

Worth it!

As long as Gu Liangyuan died, all of this would be worth it!

Thinking this, Mo Emperor immediately offered up the jade pendant.

But when he looked back, he was instantly dumbfounded.

At this moment, Gu Liangyuan had already entered the Eastern Continent’s territory.

Gu Liangyuan also saw the jade pendant suspended before Mo Emperor’s chest:

Name: Ziwei Jade Pendant

Rank: Ancient Immortal Item

Effect: The predecessor of the Ancient Mo Dynasty was the Ziwei Holy Land. This is the Legacy treasure of the Ziwei Holy Land. Unfortunately, it is somewhat damaged and contains half a strike of a Great Luo.

Looking at the System’s description, Gu Liangyuan suddenly understood why the Ancient Mo Holy Land had so many great arrays related to stars. It turned out to be the Legacy of the Central Heaven Ziwei Great Emperor.

But Gu Liangyuan wasn’t flustered at all. He spoke to Mo Emperor:

“Come on, good son, come and hit your father.”

“Aren’t you going to kill me? I’m right here, not moving at all.”

Mo Emperor’s face turned beet red with suppressed anger, but Gu Liangyuan showed no intention of holding back:

“Good son, why don’t you make a move?”

Upon hearing this, Mo Emperor clenched his teeth and his fists.

The veins on his arms bulged, and his eyes were bloodshot with rage.

Since his birth until now, when had he ever heard such disrespectful words!

He wished he could kill Gu Liangyuan immediately, but he didn’t dare.

With the Heavenly Dao vow in place, if he were to make a move now, he would surely die and his Dao would dissipate.

How he hated, how he regretted!

Mo Emperor had never really taken the Heavenly Dao vow between the two of them seriously.

If I lose, at most I just won’t go to the Eastern Continent.

But he never expected that Gu Liangyuan would actively invade Ancient Mo’s territory.

Just then, Gu Liangyuan’s voice came again:

“If you don’t make a move, Daddy here will.”

Whoosh!

As soon as his voice fell, the sound of tearing air suddenly rang out.

The Qiongqi Bone Arrow, three arrows fired at once!

One arrow shot towards Mo Emperor, while the other two, from Mo Emperor’s left and right, shot towards the soldiers behind him who were busy setting up arrays.

Mo Emperor was momentarily overwhelmed and could only deal with the bone arrow shot at himself. He could only watch helplessly as the other two arrows shot towards the army.

At this moment, the army, which was meant to boost morale, had instead become a burden to Mo Emperor.

After the three arrows, less than twenty thousand of Mo Emperor’s army remained.

The good news was that those who survived Gu Liangyuan’s two attacks were all elites.

Mo Emperor glanced over and saw that most of them were Soul Transformation Rank generals.

“Army, retreat!”

Mo Emperor suddenly realized that he couldn’t continue like this. He could only take hits passively without being able to launch an offense; no matter how many soldiers he had, it wouldn’t be enough for Gu Liangyuan to kill.

Looking at Gu Liangyuan, who had one foot out of the Eastern Continent’s border and was about to enter Ancient Mo’s territory, Mo Emperor remained unmoved.

He knew that this was merely Gu Liangyuan’s tactic to lure the enemy.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Gu Liangyuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Not stupid, he actually didn’t fall for it.

It’s just… where can you escape to?

Soon, Mo Emperor led his generals to the defensive Grand Array:

“General Hun Tuo, quickly open the defensive Grand Array!”

Hearing someone call him, General Hun Tuo quickly looked down.

Seeing Mo Emperor leading nearly ten thousand soldiers, he subconsciously wanted to open the city gate.

But then he remembered Mo Emperor’s previous instructions to him.

So he coldly replied:

“Your Majesty has commanded that no matter who it is, even if Your Majesty personally arrives, the city gate is not to be opened!”

As Hun Tuo spoke, the sound of tearing air was heard again.

Roar!

This time, Mo Emperor’s speed was very fast. Accompanied by the sound of a Dragon’s roar, a five-clawed Golden Dragon appeared in front of the remaining ten thousand soldiers.

From its appearance, it seemed to intend to forcefully withstand these three arrows to protect the generals.
