161: Chapter 161 The Seven Meridians Locking Yang Formation!

I have seen bold people, but I have never seen anyone this bold.

General Mo Yi is nearly a hundred years old; never mind that he wouldn't have dared to do this at Li Mo's age, even at his current age, he wouldn't dare to pilot an enemy mech and blow up their ammo depot!

This is completely and utterly provoking hatred!

Moreover, previously, Morpheus of the Black Earth Tribe did not dare to send high-level martial artists to pursue Li Mo because he was afraid that the Great Xia's main force had set an ambush.

But now that the three countries have started playing with their cards on the table, and each roughly knows the other's troop deployments, how could they not dare to send high-level martial artists to pursue?

Moreover, the opposing commander is that brainless Wright.

Hanks would definitely have to report such a major event as the bombing of the ammo depot to Wright.

When Hanks reported this to Wright, as expected, Wright was immediately enraged.

But he wasn't angry about the loss of military assets, but rather that his face had been lost because Li Mo's group of seven blew up the ammo depot.

Wright roared: "Hanks, who exactly is this Li Mo? And what are you lot doing? You actually let a mere Liangyi Realm from the other side blow up our ammo depot!"

"If this gets out! Won't I, the Marshal of the Baiou Empire, be a laughingstock?"

Since Hanks was Wright's steward, he could only endure the verbal abuse.

But in reality, Wright had already been mocked countless times by the Black Earth Tribe and Great Xia; this was hardly the first time.

Hanks immediately stated Li Mo's identity: "Marshal, I've investigated. This Li Mo is a genius who has emerged in Great Xia in recent years and has received the favor of Zhao Zhenyuan at a young age!"

"Just a few days ago, he relied on a Vanguard Battalion of over two thousand men to intercept the Black Earth Tribe's army of five hundred thousand for a full seven days. He cannot be underestimated! It's a pity such a talent didn't appear in our country!"

Speaking of Li Mo, although Hanks was angry, he felt more regret.

Whether it's the Black Earth Tribe or the Baiou Empire, both place the utmost importance on talent. A talent like Li Mo is extremely rare.

However, Wright was dismissive: "Heh! What talent? I became a Marshal before I was forty! Can he compare to me?"

"Regardless, we cannot lose face for the Baiou Empire because of this Li Mo! Pass down the order: send a few Heaven-Earth Realm commanders out and kill him for me!"

Wright relied on his family's influence, and with his father dying early, he was able to sit in this Marshal's position. It's unknown where he gets his confidence from.

But his approach coincided with Hanks's thoughts; precisely because Li Mo is a talent, he needs to be strangled while he is not yet strong enough.

Once Wright's military order was issued, the Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists who had long been prepared in the Baiou Empire's main force immediately set out!

This time, the Baiou Empire directly dispatched five Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists, which was equivalent to dispatching five army group commanders.

No matter how fast the qingtian mech is, it simply cannot compare to the speed of Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists.

As Li Mo and his group were on their way back, a sudden burst of energy struck, directly shearing off the right arm of the qingtian mech.

The next moment, the qingtian mech immediately malfunctioned and plummeted straight to the ground.

Fortunately, although the qingtian mech was damaged, Li Mo and the others sitting in the cockpit were unharmed. But what truly made their scalps tingle were the five people in the air wearing general's uniforms.

These are five Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists!

Zheng Jiahao and Wu Yuqing were both startled.

"Five Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists—the Baiou Empire really thinks highly of us!"

Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists are the strongest martial artists in the world, aside from those in the Martial God Realm. Since there is an agreement that Martial Gods cannot intervene, it can be considered that on a conventional battlefield, Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists are the strongest.

The dispatch of five Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists is extremely rare.

From this, it is evident that the Baiou Empire is truly determined to kill Li Mo and the others.

Having learned from the experience with the Black Earth Tribe, the Baiou Empire dared not be careless in the slightest, which is why they sent so many high-level martial artists to intercept and kill them.

Zheng Jiahao and the others felt a chill at this, fearing they might die here today, but Li Mo's expression was calm.

Zheng Jiahao asked curiously: "Li Mo, do you have some kind of backup plan? You don't look afraid at all."

Li Mo waved his hand: "I don't have any backup plan."

"Ah? Then why are you so calm?"

"Just because I don't have a backup plan doesn't mean someone else didn't prepare one for me! Our Marshal won't let me die!"

Li Mo's expression was very confident, as if he didn't take these five Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists seriously at all.

Of course, given his current cultivation level, he is certainly no match for these five Heaven-Earth Realm martial artists.

But he understands his importance to the Great Xia military, or rather, to Zhao Zhenyuan.

Firstly, he was promoted by Zhao Zhenyuan from a second lieutenant to a major general, making him the youngest major general in history. To Great Xia, he is the most formal representation of their prestige. If such a figure were to be killed by the enemy while executing a reconnaissance mission, the blow to morale would be unimaginable.

Now that the war between the three countries is on the verge of breaking out, Zhao Zhenyuan will not allow such a situation to occur.

Secondly, Li Mo is currently the only young, rising star that Zhao Zhenyuan can use to check the old guard in The Military. Reasonably and logically, Zhao Zhenyuan cannot let anything happen to him.

Although Zhao Zhenyuan did not inform Li Mo of his entire plan beforehand, Li Mo had already anticipated it when he was discovered by Jones earlier.

Zhao Zhenyuan must have prepared a backup plan.

And indeed, that was the case. Previously, when Li Mo led the Vanguard Battalion to fight the Black Earth Tribe, it was a ruse to make the Black Earth Tribe suspect they had an ambush.

But now, they have truly prepared an ambush!

"Form the array!"

At this moment, a voice came from an unknown location, and mysterious beams of colorful light immediately appeared all around.

These beams of light looked like talismans, and on the talismans were carved various incomprehensible Daoist scripts.

Then, as the Daoist scripts swirled, they instantly locked down this area of heaven and earth.

A Heaven-Earth Realm martial artist from the Baiou Empire immediately recognized this array, exclaiming in terror: "Oh no! This is the Great Xia's Seven-Pulse Locking Yang Array!"

As he spoke, this Baiou Empire martial artist drew the blade from his waist and slashed upwards.

The power of a Heaven-Earth Realm martial artist's attack is enough to easily flatten a mountain, yet it could not shake the Seven-Pulse Locking Yang Array he spoke of in the slightest.

Li Mo was also familiar with this Seven-Pulse Locking Yang Array.

It was created by our country's first array master, and its highest record was trapping a Martial God for a full six days!

Of course, against a Martial God, its effect is merely to trap them; it is different for those below the Martial God Realm. It can not only suppress the cultivation realm of those within the array but also continuously absorb and weaken their cultivation.

It can be said to be an extremely sinister array!

Of course, the conditions to use this array are also very harsh. First, it requires seven people; second, these seven people need to continuously absorb the earth's spiritual energy for three days without sleep. Finally, when using this array, all the absorbed earth spiritual energy must be released according to the special methods of the Qimen Eight Trigrams Array.

Moreover, this array is very easy to dodge; as long as one has some preparation, it is very easy to evade.

Correspondingly, once trapped by this array, it is almost impossible to escape!
