Chapter 224: Silver Arowana

“Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. My master is looking for you.”

Lin Mo was walking down the road when he was suddenly blocked by a man and a woman. The two of them were standing on a tree and were obscured by mist, making their presence difficult to notice.

Lin Mo’s gaze was ice-cold. Did these people really think that he was a soft persimmon that they could pinch whenever they wanted?

“Eh?” Very quickly, Lin Mo noticed that there was a pond in front of him. In the pond, there were a couple of silver fishes swimming around.

These were no ordinary fish. They were a rare treasure known as the Silver Arowanas.

The Silver Arowanas were a rare delicacy, and Lin Mo had only learned of this after being influenced by Bai Luo.

During the ancient times, it was rumored that even gods wanted to eat these Silver Arowanas.

Its taste aside, the effects that the Silver Arowanas possessed were even more precious. It was said that they could nourish one’s soul, and upon eating them, one would be able to further increase one’s soul power.

This was the true reason why the ancient gods desired the Silver Arowanas.

Sure, being delicious was a plus, but the most important thing was that they could increase one’s strength…

“There’s seven of them in total. I won’t hold back anymore…”

This time, Lin Mo did not intend to retreat. In the past, whenever he encountered an attack, he would either retreat or force the other party to back off.

However, now that there were Silver Arowanas on the line, the circumstances had changed.

Nevertheless, he did not act rashly. After all, the Silver Arowanas were immensely fast creatures, and this made it difficult for them to be caught. Even the slightest hint of carelessness would result in their escape.

More importantly, the Silver Arowanas were creatures that could ignore the terrain they swam in. Be it the sky or the ground, the Silver Arowanas would still be able to swim in them. As such, the foggy atmosphere above them made it the best shelter for the Silver Arowanas to flee to.

Once it flew into the mist, catching them would be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

“You… Come here for a moment.” While Lin Mo was coming up with plans on capturing the Silver Arowanas, a cold voice rang out above him.

A figure walked over. He had purple hair and purple pupils. A powerful pressure emanated from him that penetrated the thick spiritual energy in the surroundings.

“State your business.” Lin Mo said very calmly.

“If you want a Silver Arowana, become my follower and I’ll give you one.” He spoke in a demanding tone.

Lin Mo laughed out loud. He was initially hesitant about stealing the Silver Arowana from their owners.

However, now that their owner had shown his true colors, Lin Mo saw no other way forward but to fight him for the fishes.

Coincidentally, he also wanted to test his own strength against an actual cultivator. Although he had found several demonic beasts to practice his newfound strength with before, he would rather have an actual sparring partner.

“Who do you think you are to deserve me as your follower?” He said with a smile.

However, Lin Mo was soon shocked because another person had come from afar. It was someone he was familiar with.

“Hehe, the world is truly a small place…”

The person who had just arrived was Yuan Hong, the genius of the Primordial Sun Holy Land. However, he seemed to be alone this time.

“Brother Kong, I heard that you have located the Silver Arowanas and require helpers to assist in catching them. This person before you will be a good fit, he’s very powerful and is worth being your servant.” Yuan Hong stated.

“Is that so? I happen to be lacking a servant, so I guess you’ll fit the bill quite nicely.” Upon hearing Yuan Hong’s words, the man’s interest in Lin Mo was piqued.

Seeing this, Lin Mo grew curious as well and asked, “Who are you, and which Holy Land are you a part of?”

“I’m not a Holy Land disciple. My name is Kong Xuan, and I’m from the Peacock Spirit Clan. In addition, I’ll be your master in the future,” the man said with a sneer.

Lin Mo’s body emitted a very mysterious aura. Kong Xuan tried to probe into it with his spiritual energy, but in the end, his energy disappeared without a trace.

Had Lin Mo not been standing right in front of him, he would not have noticed his existence.

“Hehe, Lin Mo, you can try using the puppet again. I have my own ways to deal with you.” Yuan Hong sneered.

Yuan Hong had an important treasure on him this time. Although he was still no match for the Origin Soul Puppet, he was confident that he could stall it.

He directed waves of killing intent towards Lin Mo..

Previously, Lin Mo had snatched the Blazing Flame Spirit Snake Bow from him, and in the end, he had his brother buy it back with 20 million spiritual stones.

It was a great humiliation, and he had always wanted to take revenge on him.

“I don’t need my puppet to deal with the two of you. Are You Ready?” Lin Mo said indifferently as he taunted them.

“You can attack at the same time if you want.”

As soon as these words were said, both Yuan Hong and the young man from the Peacock Spirit clan had a drastic change in their expressions.

Lin Mo was too conceited. He dared to make such a bold claim despite facing the two of them?

“Do you really think you’re the reincarnation of a deity?” Yuan Hong snapped angrily. He had long held a grudge against Lin Mo.

“I wouldn’t dare encroach the territory of the deities. However, I believe myself to be a person chosen by fate.” Lin Mo smiled faintly as he stepped forward menacingly, with black spiritual energy trailing behind him.

The entire area trembled incessantly as copious amounts of spiritual energy surged towards Lin Mo. in the end, they gathered to form a vortex of spiritual energy.

A boundless pressure emanated from Lin Mo’s body, shocking everyone.

“A person chosen by fate? More like an arrogant brat! Do you think you’re worthy of such a destiny!?” The young man from the Peacock Spirit Clan exclaimed.

He and Yuan Hong stepped forward together, unleashing powerful auras of their own to suppress Lin Mo’s aura.

“You’re finally willing to join hands? That’s good too. Let’s see what you got.” Lin Mo said coldly.

Yuan Hong was furious, and his face gradually darkened.

He did not expect Lin Mo’s realm to rise this drastically in the short period since their last meeting. Lin Mo was now at tier 16 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and it was close to the peak of the realm.

The strength he displayed reminded him of his brother, Yuan Cang…

“No, your strength is probably a bluff.”

Flames broke out as Yuan Hong nocked an arrow at Lin Mo.

“Today is the day you die,” Yuan Hong spat angrily. He shot an arrow that tore through the air like a leaping python. It was a powerful shot.

Lin Mo’s spiritual energy spread out and formed a black hole around his body, devouring everything around him.

Although the arrow was extremely powerful and was fueled with boundless killing intent, Lin Mo stood stock still as his black spiritual energy devoured the attack targeted at him.

Upon making contact with the wall of black spiritual energy, the arrow slowed down as if it was moving through mud. The flames surrounding its body withered drastically, and before long, all of its spiritual energy had disappeared, making it no different from an ordinary arrow.

Lin Mo raised his hand to grab the arrow, all the while smiling disdainfully.

“Is this the new technique you came up with?”

Contempt hung in the air, not only from Yuan Hong, but also the young man from the Peacock Spirit Clan.

The two of them attacked at the same time, displaying their martial arts prowess.

“Don’t be too arrogant! Let’s see how you’ll handle this blow!”

The momentum of the two’s attack was so great that Lin Mo could not help but marvel at its power. The martial art was at least a tier 9.

Brilliant runes spread out in front of the two of them and continuously spread out.

Soon, their attack was ready. Lin Mo’s expression remained unchanged as he received them head-on.

Yuan Hong’s arrow was like a great sun, incomparably majestic as it emitted a piercing radiance.

As for the Peacock Spirit Clan youth, his body was emitting a five-colored divine light. his attack contained the profound meaning of the five elements.

Lin Mo could feel the power of the Dao principles powering it.

This made him frown slightly.

How was he able to attain such strength? Lin Mo was certain that the Yanhuang Divine Empire held a iron grip on making sure none of the factions within its nation grew too powerful…

“Rumble!”

Lin Mo finally made his move. After seeing what they had to offer, Lin Mo realized he could not afford to be reckless. He unsheathed Plain White Snow and unleashed his sword Qi at them.
