The dense smoke and gust of wind moved too fast, reaching behind Chen Mo before long.
Chen Mo felt a strong force pushing him from behind, propelling him forward, with Yu Zhu clinging tightly to him. The two finally crashed to the ground and rolled several meters.
"Pfft..."
Yu Zhu spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered on the ground.
"Ahhhh..."
Enveloped by Chen Mo’s gust of wind to escape the falling range of the "Four Directions Mountain," the Wei army soldiers fell to the ground like dumplings, causing numerous casualties.
"Yu Zhu, are you alright?" Chen Mo got up and checked on Yu Zhu’s condition.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, I’m not seriously hurt." Protected by Chen Mo, Yu Zhu only suffered minor injuries. She raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, intending to get up, her pupils suddenly contracted.
Chen Mo noticed Yu Zhu’s reaction and sensed something as well. At the same time, he found that his shadow on the ground had disappeared, suddenly becoming dim. He turned and looked up to see the "Four Directions Mountain" reappear above him, crashing down heavily.
This time, the range covered by the "Four Directions Mountain" enveloped most of the Wei army soldiers entering the Imperial City.
"Retreat quickly."
Chen Mo shouted loudly, then picked up Yu Zhu and tossed her to Nalan Yiren. He leapt onto the city wall, leaving footprints on it, his entire body glowing with purple light. The Bright Armor was clanging, like a human-shaped purple sun, he collided with the "Four Directions Mountain."
With a resounding "bang," the heavily descending "Four Directions Mountain" was knocked away by Chen Mo. At the same time, Chen Mo felt a tremendous vibration; it felt as if he had collided with an indestructible stone mountain.
The "Four Directions Mountain" crashed sideways on the ground, destroying a section of houses, raising dust all around.
At this moment, Chen Mo finally glimpsed the full appearance of the "Four Directions Mountain." It was a blood-colored seal; its seal was a skull.
The entire skull seal was as large as a palace, extremely terrifying.
Chen Mo landed on the city wall, his eyes filled with astonishment that lingered.
Who could manipulate such a giant seal as if it were a soccer ball?
"Retreat, leave the Imperial City."
Chen Mo glanced back and found the Wei army soldiers had retreated a bit but hadn’t left the Imperial City. Chen Mo urged them to retreat further; he felt a trace of dread from the blood-colored seal.
The Wei army’s discipline was clear; upon hearing Chen Mo’s orders, they retreated without hesitation. Yu Zhu knew she couldn’t help and didn’t stay, leaving only Nalan Yiren to accompany Chen Mo.
At this moment, the blood-colored seal knocked to the ground by Chen Mo once again rose into the air, striking towards Chen Mo.
Chen Mo’s toes moved slightly, a dragon’s roar sounded underfoot, his body swiftly glided like a wandering dragon.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous sound, the blood-colored seal struck the spot where Chen Mo had just stood, creating a massive fissure, stones flying, dust rising.
"What exactly is this thing?"
Nalan Yiren hurriedly asked seeing Chen Mo land beside her, clearly seeing this for the first time.
"I don’t know...Quick, dodge!"
Before he could finish, Chen Mo noticed the blood-colored seal once again smashing towards him, promptly leading Nalan Yiren to flee into the Imperial Palace.
Chen Mo didn’t run towards the Wei army to avoid involving them.
"I will summon Poisonous Bees to assist you." Nalan Yiren waved her slender hand, releasing two Poisonous Bees from her sleeve to fly outside the Imperial City.
After narrowly dodging several blows from the blood-colored seal, Chen Mo’s dread lessened a little.
Though the blood-colored seal was strong, it was slightly slow. With Chen Mo and Nalan Yiren’s skills, they managed to evade it.
Just as Chen Mo relaxed a bit, the blood-colored seal rose into the air again. However, as it ascended, its size rapidly shrank, becoming only fist-sized in an instant.
This scene left Chen Mo and Nalan Yiren dumbfounded.
This thing can change size...
And it’s clearly a solid object, not formed by Innate Spiritual Qi, somewhat "fantastical."
"Not good."
Chen Mo’s pupils dilated instantly as he noticed the blood-colored seal, having shrunk, suddenly accelerated, slicing through the air, leaving behind a trail of white vapor.
"Sonic boom?"
Chen Mo was stunned, and the next moment, his chest was hit hard because the blood-colored seal was already hammering his chest.
The protective Innate Spiritual Qi and the Heart Protection Mirror on his armor shattered instantly, the temperature soared, causing the Iron Armor nearby to show signs of melting.
Chen Mo’s entire armor clanged, emitting purple rays in all directions, like a blazing sun.
He shouted, generating massive energy to repel the blood-colored seal striking his chest.
At the moment of repulsion, Chen Mo tried to grab it with his hand but couldn’t hold it at all.
"What the hell is this damn thing!"
Chen Mo’s scalp tingled as he dodged sideways, the blood-colored seal almost grazing his face, scratching a wound on his nose. With a "bang," it pierced through a stone lion behind him.
Chen Mo dared not be careless as the thing, after piercing the stone lion, turned and shot towards him again.
Chen Mo sprinted furiously, executing the Wandering Dragon Step to the extreme, purple light shone everywhere, galloping towards the palace group within the Imperial Palace, attempting to escape.
