111: Brutal pursuit

Since reconciliation was impossible, Gao Qiang fully activated his Protective Aura, swinging a massive fist of Protective Aura imbued with 90% Fist Intent toward Ji Mo.

The sounds of “bang, bang” were incessant.

“Brat, you forced my hand. If I didn't have a hidden trump card, how do you think I managed to rank on the fierce ranking list?”

“Demon Blood Infusion!”

Gao Qiang's body rapidly expanded, transforming into a several-meter-tall Demon Person.

He raised a black fist, nearly a meter in diameter, wrapped in a layer of pitch-black light barrier.

And threw a punch straight at Ji Mo.

Ji Mo refused to be outdone, raising his iron fist enveloped in golden light to meet the attack head-on.

“Close-quarters combat? That's what I love.”

Gao Qiang was protected by a Half-Saint Artifact, the Demon Person body itself was physically strong, he had Protective True Gang Qi, and his fist was covered with 90% Fist Intent—he was incredibly formidable.

To be honest, Ji Mo was having trouble keeping up; the opponent's current state provided too many enhancements.

If he hadn't clearly felt the Hidden Force penetrate the opponent's body with every strike, he would have given up the close-quarters fight.

They fought across dozens of miles for nearly the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn.

“Shatter!”

Ji Mo roared. After being bombarded by Ji Mo's Fist Power countless times,

the Half-Saint Armor protecting Gao Qiang finally couldn't endure it and exploded into pieces under Ji Mo's attack.

“Your time to die has come!”

This was only possible because the monster beast pills Refined by Ji Mo's Hegemonic Heaven Refining Art had Heaven-Defying effects; otherwise, Ji Mo would have been smashed long ago.

Without the protection of a Half-Saint Artifact, relying only on a Protective Aura shield and the Demon Person body was meaningless to Ji Mo.

Following another barrage of storm-like attacks, Gao Qiang finally couldn't hold on. He felt the Demon Blood in his body was about to be evaporated.

His internal organs were being attacked by a strange, peculiar force, threatening to burst.

Gao Qiang wanted to stop, but Ji Mo stuck to him like a piece of plaster, continuously dealing damage to the massive Demon Body.

Amidst this endless torment, Gao Qiang's body was continuously shrunk by Ji Mo's attacks.

Eventually, he reverted to his original human form.

“One punch!”

Ji Mo delivered a punch, seemingly venting his frustration, right to Gao Qiang's chest.

Several Dragon Power erupted inside his body; even gods couldn't save him.

Gao Qiang gazed “affectionately” at Ji Mo with unwilling eyes.

Ji Mo returned a smile, “I feel great. Thank you. Go now!”

Upholding the spirit of not wasting and not polluting the environment, he collected the previous spoils of war and the corpses scattered on the ground.

Those who realized the situation was bad still tried to run.

How could Ji Mo let them go? They were all free express deliveries!

“Since you came, stay. Still thinking of running? Where do you think you'll find such a good thing?”

Ji Mo pulled out a cold smile and pursued these people.

At the same time, within the heaven and earth creation bell, these resources were continuously being Refined.

While restoring his Protective Aura, his cultivation base was also steadily increasing.

These people were closest to the teleportation array, and a large portion of them were heading in that direction.

A few scattered groups of three or five fled toward other parts of the island.

Ji Mo prioritized hunting down the closest and largest group.

His entire being transformed into a streak of golden light, slashing across the sky.

“Haha, I caught up to you, little mice! Still trying to run? Stay here.”

The heaven and earth creation bell burst from his body and flew out, several times faster than Ji Mo.

In the blink of an eye, it flew above these people.

“Clang!”

A chime rang out. Due to the haste, the power was insufficient, only managing to momentarily halt these people.

That was enough.

“Great River Sword Technique!”

The long river of Sword Qi floated in the air again, instantly enveloping these people. When they saw this long river of Sword Qi, they despaired.

Although the long river of Sword Qi wasn't overwhelmingly powerful, it was enough for Ji Mo to catch up to them.

The most despairing thing was that the city containing the teleportation array was only dozens of miles away.

Gazing at the dozens of people surrounded by tens of thousands of Sword Qi, Ji Mo smiled savagely, like a demon.

He stopped wasting words and rushed forward.

“Ah!”

“Ah...”

With every scream, a body of flesh and blood exploded.

The ruthlessness of his methods was simply appalling!

It wasn't that Ji Mo wanted to be this way,

but during his battle with Gao Qiang, Ji Mo had already sensed that

countless powerful individuals on Great Wind Island had locked their Divine Sense onto his location.

Furthermore, at least several thousand people near the teleportation array had already seen Ji Mo, which is why he needed to display his savage side.

“If I'm not mistaken, these people belong to the Three Saints Sect, right?”

“Slap!”

A companion next to him suddenly gave him a hard slap.

“Why the hell do I need you to guess? You can tell from the uniform. Stop acting profound.”

“Hiss! Where did this fierce person come from? I've roamed the Endless Sea Region for so many years and never heard his name.”

“He's a newcomer. I saw him on Heavenly Dragon Island. We even used the teleportation array at the same time. I just didn't expect him to be so fierce.”

“Hiss. It seems another Peerless Great Fierce One has arrived in the Endless Sea Region. He just got here and immediately took on the top power, the Three Saints Sect.”

“Fierce. Too fierce.”

“Wuwuwu,”

This was a female Disciple who had just left the Sect for experience with her Senior Brothers, and she was immediately scared to tears by Ji Mo's ruthless methods.

One punch per 'little friend,' he wiped out the entire group and successfully claimed the Crystal.

He turned his head and scanned the people near the teleportation array area and those watching from afar.

Those scanned by Ji Mo all adopted solemn expressions to show respect,

and some timid female cultivators were scared into tears again.

Ji Mo once again transformed into a beam of golden light and flew into the distance. There were still some fish that slipped through the net, and Ji Mo intended to kill them.

After Ji Mo left, the 'human fireworks' in the sky persisted for a long time before dissipating.

And the mood of the people in this area remained unsettled for a long time.

Ji Mo ignored them. The aura of these people had already been locked onto by Ji Mo; as long as he approached a certain area, he could pinpoint them.

Thus, Ji Mo randomly chose a direction and flew away, transforming into a rainbow.

After flying over 300 miles, Ji Mo finally sensed several familiar auras.

“Little bugs, you sure can run!”

Accelerating again, the distance closed rapidly. Ji Mo made no attempt to hide his aura.

Therefore, these people also sensed Ji Mo's arrival.

They didn't even need to sense it; they could see the golden figure in the sky instantly.

“It's over, that fierce person caught up.”

“Senior Brother Xia, we can't implicate you. This fierce person has already killed our leader! Given his brutality, you will also be in danger.”

“Senior Brother Ma, don't worry! Our Brotherhood Alliance and the Three Saints Sect are friendly acquaintances, and besides, our Brotherhood Alliance's Elder Wen is on the island.”

“Senior Brother Xia, are you referring to the Half-Saint Strategist Wen?”

“That's right! Senior Brother Ma, Elder Wen happened to be on a diplomatic mission to this sea region. When Elder Wen learned the news that the Ancient Ruins were about to appear, he came to take a look.”

Ji Mo's figure had just hovered in front of these few people when the one called Senior Brother Xia spoke.

“Brat, our Brotherhood Alliance will protect Senior Brother Ma and his companions. You should leave.”

Although this person intended to protect them, his attitude wasn't overly arrogant.

“Heh heh! Do you think your Brotherhood Alliance is stronger than the Three Saints Sect?”

“Naturally, the Three Saints Sect is stronger, but our Elder Wen is right here on this island.”

“Elder Wen is a Half-Saint expert ranked over 300 on the fierce ranking list and over 500 on the tiger ranking.”
