Miao Xue stood by the side, continuously forming seals, clearly preparing a Great Magic to deal with Lin Mo, while Miao Shuang was delaying Lin Mo to provide her some time to cast her spell.
However, upon seeing the sword that Lin Mo had chopped out, both Miao Xue and Miao Shuang were somewhat horrified. No matter how much they had heard, it was nowhere near as real and shocking as witnessing it firsthand.
Although Lin Mo was now the Strongest King in the Huaxia Martial Arts World, and had even killed Luo Yin and Snake Lord from the Qingxuan Sect, and pursued Qing Xuan, Wu Yue, Ouyang Xinghe, Yao Lei, and others, his reputation was limitless, but these were merely hearsay, and their authenticity was still debatable.
But now that Lin Mo had come to Miao Xue Divine Palace, the might he displayed directly shocked both Palace Masters of the Miao Xue Divine Palace, and also made them believe that Lin Mo indeed possessed the strength to pursue Qing Xuan.
"Lin Tanyu, you are murderous by nature, having killed not only two cultivators from the Qingxuan Sect but also come to my Miao Xue Divine Palace to slaughter the innocent. Are you not afraid of being pursued by the Heavenly Sect?" Miao Xue suddenly spoke vehemently, her voice amplified by her True Yuan and resonated throughout the entire Mountain Gate.
Lin Mo stood proudly in the air, his fine black hair tossed by the cold wind, and his slightly delicate face now displayed an innate regal aura. He sneered, "Well said, 'murderous by nature,' 'slaughtering the innocent,' and being pursued by the Heavenly Sect."
"You claim to be righteous, but engage in even more disgraceful acts in the shadows. You call me a 'devil' with every breath—does that make you noble and me lowly?"
"If you deem me as a devil, then so be it!"
Lin Mo's voice spread throughout the entire Mountain Gate, filled with endless grief and indignation that even those Miao Xue Divine Palace disciples fighting also couldn't help but have their minds trembled violently.
The words Lin Mo said, they didn't know whether to believe them or not, but the overpowering king's aura that Lin Mo displayed needed no words, clearly allowing anyone to feel, his words full of appeal and an added unique charisma to themselves.
"Lin Tanyu, don't think just because you are powerful you can do as you please across the world. Even if Qingxuan Sect doesn't assign someone to kill you, my sister and I are enough to keep you here today. However, if you are willing to leave Miao Xue Divine Palace now, I can spare your life," Miao Xue suddenly spoke.
Lin Mo coldly observed the two, these kinds of people, outwardly pretending to be upright but inwardly extremely sinister and evil.
"If you were confident, you could kill me, you wouldn't be wasting your breath," Lin Mo laughed heartily.
He was now the arch-enemy of the Qingxuan Sect, if Miao Xue Divine Palace could kill him or capture him to present to Qingxuan Sect, there would undoubtedly be many benefits, these two people wouldn't let him go easily.
Now that Miao Xue said this, it was merely because she wasn't completely confident in killing him, so she pretended to be profound.
Miao Xue's eyes faintly showed a hint of chill and severity upon hearing Lin Mo's words, she knew Lin Mo's strength was extraordinary, but she hadn't expected him to be so young yet as cunning as an old fox.
"Heh, Lin Tanyu, do you really think we can't kill you? You have already given me enough time to cast my magic, and now even if you plead guilty and want to escape, you can't leave Miao Xue Divine Palace,"
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Miao Xue's face, her cold voice spreading throughout the entire Divine Palace.
Lin Mo gripped the Xuanyuan Sword, no longer wasting words. His figure exploded with the sound of breaking the sound barrier, booming like thunder, and in an instant, he was right in front of Miao Xue and chopped her body in half!
Miao Xue's pupils suddenly constricted, her expression horrified, but her lips curled up into a very eerie arc.
"Hmm?"
Lin Mo furrowed his brow, only to see that the Miao Xue cut in half had transformed into tiny snowflakes, scattering gently between heaven and earth.
And to the side, another complete Miao Xue appeared in his line of sight.
"Lin Tanyu, even if you have the ability to reach the heavens today, you will die here," Miao Xue said confidently.
At the same time, Miao Shuang waved her hand, and a thirty-zhang-long snowstorm cyclone, like a swimming dragon, came toward him with a destructive force, instantly turning trees, houses, and boulders into powder wherever it passed.
Lin Mo furrowed his furrows slightly, feeling a strange sensation, but now he didn't have time to think in detail. He waved his treasure sword, and strokes of sword light were chopped out.
The first sword light penetrated the wind and snow tornado, disappearing as if it were a clay ox entering the sea!
The second sword light only slightly slowed the speed of the tornado! The third sword light punctured a hole as big as a bowl in the tornado, but it instantly returned to its original state!
"What's going on here?" Lin Mo was stunned once more. At the same time, the Dragon Snow Wind Roll swept over him, a chilling coldness and impact forcing him to fly backward, numerous wounds appearing on his body as if someone had slashed him with a blade, continuously bleeding while bringing waves of stabbing pain.
"Lin Tanyu, aren't you very strong? I'm telling you, today you are going to die here," Miao Xue said with a confident and composed smile on her face.
"I understand now!"
Suddenly, Lin Mo's lips curved into a faint arc, "The two of you are only at the late-stage of Foundation Establishment, not even reaching the peak. Even if you two join forces, you cannot be my opponents."
"Moreover, my body, having been tempered by the Starry Sky Tower, has already broken through the Golden Skin Ninth Layer. Now even a modern super bomb cannot cause harm to my body, let alone your combined magic injuring me."
As Lin Mo spoke, Miao Xue and Miao Shuang, though still composed, showed subtle changes in their eyes.
"The two of you are no match for me. I am merely in an illusion created by you, and the figure I cut down just now was merely a shadow, not the real Great Palace Master."
Miao Xue and Miao Shuang's faces stiffened.
They had not expected Lin Mo to realize so quickly that this was all an illusion.
"So what if you know? The Frost Dream Realm is an Illusion Technique within the Mountain Protection Array Formation of our Miao Xue Divine Palace. If you cannot leave the illusion, it is impossible for you to kill us. Furthermore, you will gradually deplete your spiritual energy and strength," Miao Shuang coldly said upon seeing Lin Mo had seen through the illusion.
Lin Mo furrowed his brows lightly. In the Miao Xue Divine Palace, due to the Mountain Protection Array Formation and the Earth's magnetic field, his Divine Sense had been greatly suppressed. Otherwise, he could have detected the presence of this illusion realm immediately.
"Though this place is an illusion, and the injuries you sustain here are fictitious, the 'pain' is real. We will use endless pain to exhaust your strength, making your soul collapse. Therefore... you have only one path to death," Miao Xue continued.
Hearing their words, Lin Mo actually showed a look of disdain.
Had he not suffered enough pain?
The trials and pain he had experienced were certainly no less than anyone else's.
Even the torment and suffering within the Starry Sky Tower were nothing more than trifles for his cultivation journey, let alone the pain brought on by this mere illusion.
However, Lin Mo was not masochistic. Besides, without breaking the Array Formation, it would be impossible to find their real location.
Just then, in the sky, tens of thousands of Ice Swords flickering with spots of golden light had already condensed.
"The pain of ten thousand swords piercing the heart—I wonder if you can endure it?" Miao Xue's lips curling up into a sinister smile.
Lin Mo, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, said indifferently, "Sword Spirit, you should wake up now."
Suddenly, a milky white glow appeared vaguely on the Xuanyuan Sword, and an indistinct Dragon Fish emerged out of thin air, its body about seventy to eighty percent solid, circling Lin Mo's body, rubbing affectionately against his shoulder.
In the sky, the floating Ice Swords came down like dense raindrops, the Dragon Fish Sword Spirit emitting a 'Dragon Roar' and instantly transforming into a huge 'Flood Dragon' dancing in the sky, blocking the attack of these Ice Swords.
"That's enough, just help me block them for a while," Lin Mo said with a hint of a smile on his face.
But to Miao Shuang and Miao Xue, the sudden joy that appeared on his face seemed like the smile of a demon, bringing a very unsettling feeling to their hearts.
