83: Chapter 83 What kind of freak is this guy!

Under Li Mo's command, the entire Moyu Squad quickened their pace in an orderly fashion and rushed into the mountain.

However, Li Mo was unaware that the very moment they entered the mountain, Ouyang Xun, hidden in some unknown cave, had already received the news.

Everyone in the world knows that the Beast Refiner lineage excels at controlling and refining beasts.

Yet they do not know that the Beast Refiner lineage possesses another skill, one that is rarely shown to others.

Not even the existing records contain any mention of this ability of theirs.

That is restriction formations!

Before hiding in this mountain, Ouyang Xun had already laid out a massive formation across the entire mountain.

Of course, it would have been impossible to set up a lethal formation in such a short time, so this formation had no offensive capabilities.

Instead, the moment anyone intruded into the mountain, Ouyang Xun would immediately be alerted, and he could even spy on the cultivation levels of these individuals.

Upon sensing that Li Mo and his group were, at most, at the sixth grade of the Blood Transformation Realm, Ouyang Xun's face was filled with contempt.

"Heh, a bunch of little rats, at most at the Blood Transformation Realm, and they want to come and steal rice? How overconfident!"

Although Ouyang Xun looked down on Li Mo and his group, he was never one to be careless or underestimate his enemies.

He waved his hand slightly, and the next moment, the entire ground trembled. Immediately after, a Dark Beast as large as an elephant emerged from the cave.

This was a large-scale Dark Beast cultivated by Ouyang Xun; according to Zheng Jiahao's classification system, it had likely grown into an ultimate-form Dark Beast.

In reality, the weakness of Dark Beasts to soul attacks is very easy to detect; any martial artist above the Sanhe Realm can easily kill them.

Yet, how could the Beast Refiner himself not be aware of the Dark Beasts' weakness? They had improved the Dark Beasts countless times; all the ones Li Mo had encountered previously were unimproved versions.

Although the improved Dark Beasts still feared soul attacks, they were now capable of dealing with martial artists of the Sanhe Realm or even the Sixiang Realm.

However, the cost of these improvements was immense, so under normal circumstances, Beast Refiners would not release the improved Dark Beasts.

But this time was different; after entering the Xumi Secret Realm, Ouyang Xun was prepared to act as a suicide operative.

Because even if he wasn't killed by the people of Daxia, once the Dark Ruins were successfully resurrected, he himself would be swallowed by the Dark Ruins.

Beast Refiners could cultivate Dark Beasts from the remains of the Dark Ruins, but they could never control the Dark Ruins, because in a sense, the Dark Ruins no longer belonged to the category of beasts, but were a mass of dark energy that constantly devoured everything.

Since that was the case, Ouyang Xun naturally had to bring out his trump card: the three ultimate-form Dark Beasts he had carefully cultivated.

Even if a martial artist above the Sanhe Realm entered this place, they would be helpless against him!

In Ouyang Xun's calculations, once Daxia allowed him to enter the Xumi Secret Realm, the mission was already a success, and Daxia was bound to fail!

"Go!"

Ouyang Xun waved his hand again, and the next moment, the large Dark Beast charged out with earth-shaking footsteps, rushing forward like a wild boar.

Ouyang Xun continued to stare at the pitch-black mud on the ground, from which Dark Beasts were emerging one by one.

...

Meanwhile, the Moyu Squad was also cutting through obstacles all the way. With the incredibly powerful Wu Yuqing, coupled with the Candle Dragon Flame that could easily slay Dark Beasts, they could be said to be unimpeded.

There were indeed many Dark Beasts in this area; along the way, Li Mo and his group had already encountered at least twenty of them.

However, once they were on guard, these Dark Beasts that appeared so rashly were merely delivering experience points to Li Mo.

Don't forget, a young Dark Beast could grant Li Mo 2,000 devour points, which was more than ten times that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm exotic beast.

So far, Li Mo had already obtained 40,000 devour points; the points gained in these few short minutes were equivalent to the total sum of devour points Li Mo had previously obtained.

Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that the Beast Refiner lineage harbored a blood feud against Daxia and was determined to destroy everything and everyone in Daxia, Li Mo would have really liked to cooperate with them.

If the Beast Refiners kept creating Dark Beasts and Li Mo kept slaying them, it probably wouldn't take long for all of Li Mo's talent techniques and even combat skills to rapidly reach the SSS level.

But their stances were different, which meant they were mortal enemies!

Moreover, Li Mo was a soldier; soldiers took defending their country as their duty, so there was absolutely no reason to cooperate with the enemy!

Li Mo and his group charged into the intricate cave system of the mountain, sweeping through everything like a storm. Next, they needed to successfully locate Ouyang Xun within these caves.

Li Mo stood at the entrance of the cave, and a putrid, filthy stench instantly rushed towards him. At the same time, that feeling of unease grew increasingly intense.

Although the terrain here was complex, the mountain was only so large, after all. Even if they searched the caves one by one, they would be able to find Ouyang Xun in less than a day.

"Careful! A big one is coming!"

Just as Li Mo and his group were preparing to enter the cave, Qin Zhengnan suddenly roared. His Eye of the Void Demon King was extraordinary, and he had spotted the large Dark Beast sprinting out from within the cave.

"Just in time! Everyone, move aside!"

Wu Yuqing shouted, then immediately threw the precious sword in her hand.

Immediately after, to everyone's astonishment, the sword split into nine, dazzling onlookers.

The truly impressive part was yet to come; the moment the large Dark Beast rushed out of the cave, the nine swords in the air conjured countless invisible sword shadows, radiating an extremely terrifying aura.

In an instant, countless sword shadows slashed towards the large Dark Beast, immediately rendering it unable to move as it roared continuously.

This was the strongest technique of Wu Yuqing's Nine Absolute Flying Swords; even experts at the Liangyi Realm would be defeated by it. If not for the Dark Beast's physical immunity, it would have long since been reduced to dust.

It was precisely at this moment that Li Mo, who had been prepared, gripped the jingdi spear. Covered in golden flames, he leapt into the air without hesitation!

Falling Heaven Strike!

The terrifying force, combined with the unrivaled Candle Dragon Flame, instantly shattered all of the Dark Beast's defenses.

This elephant-sized Dark Beast, having appeared for only an instant, vanished like fireworks.

Their cooperation was seamless, without a hint of hesitation.

"Holy crap! That's amazing!"

"I told you these two look like a couple! Am I right?"

Xu Feng exclaimed from the side, sighing in admiration.

Yet, the most surprised person at this moment was undoubtedly Ouyang Xun inside the cave. He had originally thought that his improved ultimate-form Dark Beast could easily devour Li Mo and his group, but he never expected it to be killed in seconds!

"What kind of freaks are these!"
