The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

"Feng Fu, what a move!"

Li Mo exclaimed in admiration, clutching the last Array Breaker in his hand.

The original plan was for Elder Chi Lei to hold back Feng Fu while he activated the Array Breaker. A Fourth-Order Array Breaker required a massive amount of Spiritual Qi. With his Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, he was the fastest at activating them. But he never expected that after he'd used just two, Elder Chi Lei would be defeated. Now, it would be impossible for him to activate the Array Breaker in peace; Feng Fu would surely interfere.

"You're not so bad yourself, Li Mo. To think you even possess something like an Array Breaker. Your Wangyou Sect must be rolling in wealth!"

Li Mo slowly put away the Array Breaker, then summoned a Spirit Sword.

"If I can't break your Array, then let's settle this with our skills!"

As the number one person in the Wangyou Realm, Li Mo had always been full of confidence.

Feng Fu turned and stood atop the Dharma Vehicle, smiling coldly. "Bring it on!"

Inside Chen Dong's body, Mu Qingzhu screamed frantically, "It's happening! We're going to die! This Dharma Vehicle is shielded by a Fourth-Order Array! Sect Leader Li Mo won't be able to detect you, let alone the Yuqing Immortal Technique inside you! He'll obliterate you with a single sword strike without even realizing it!"

Chen Dong's brow furrowed in anguish.

'The situation is indeed critical. The restraints on me haven't been removed. In this state, even if I had a thousand techniques, I couldn't use a single one.'

Feng Fu gathered a swirl of glowing clouds around himself, a torrent of light that seemed to connect heaven and earth.

Li Mo, in turn, poured all his Spiritual Qi into his Spirit Sword.

All around them, everyone from the battle arrays to the Nascent Soul Supreme Elders deliberately moved far away from the pair. In a battle between Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, a single careless slip could get them caught in the crossfire.

Feng Fu shouted coldly, "Flowing Xiayun Fire Transformation!" Flames erupted from within, twining around the silken, glowing clouds. Spurred by the fire, his entire aura intensified significantly. Then, the glowing clouds swept toward Li Mo.

Li Mo snorted. "Illusion Shatter!"

The Spirit Sword in his hand flashed. Its Spirit Light flared, blindingly brilliant, and shot toward Feng Fu like a meteor shattering an illusion.

A glint of cunning flashed in Feng Fu's eyes. His seemingly endless and shockingly powerful glowing clouds were split apart by the sword, whose momentum hardly faltered.

Li Mo was also a bit surprised. 'We're both at the Late-stage Nascent Soul realm. Is Feng Fu really this weak?'

'But once a Sword Technique is unleashed, you have to see it through, whether the opponent is strong or weak.'

As the sword's edge drew closer, Feng Fu let out a cold laugh and, in a flash, disappeared into the Dharma Vehicle.

Li Mo grew even more confused. 'Is he planning to use the Dharma Vehicle's Fourth-Order Array to block this? The vehicle's array and the Qiuxia Valley's array might both be Fourth-Order, but their strengths aren't even comparable. One is a Mountain Protection Array, and the other is just a Defensive Array on a carriage.'

Li Mo immediately poured another measure of Spiritual Qi into his Spirit Sword, hoping to quickly shatter the Dharma Vehicle's array.

Having dodged into the Dharma Vehicle, Feng Fu instantly reappeared behind it, using the vehicle as a shield. He sneered inwardly in triumph, 'Li Mo, feel the agony of your body being seared by Karmic Fire! A Heavenly Punishment might even descend directly!'

At that instant, even Feng Qing and Wei Yanlan, locked in fierce battle, spared a sliver of their attention for Li Mo's strike.

The Spirit Sword arrived in an instant. With precision, Feng Fu rescinded all control over the Dharma Vehicle—the Array, its navigation, and even the bond he had forged with his Divine Sense.

BOOM~~!! The Dharma Vehicle shattered into a million pieces. Feng Fu could no longer sense Chen Dong's aura. 'The Saint must have been obliterated by Li Mo's sword,' he mused, 'not even dust remains.'

'It makes sense. Chen Dong was only at the Mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, while Li Mo is a Late-stage Nascent Soul. The gap between them is immense; it's entirely possible he was vaporized by that one strike.'

"What is the meaning of this?" Li Mo asked coldly. Feng Fu's actions were simply too bizarre, leaving him utterly baffled. 'He could have fought back, but he withdrew his power halfway through. Then he hid in the vehicle, clearly intending to use its Defensive Array, only to pop back out and even disable it. What on earth was he thinking?'

Feng Fu let out a sinister laugh that grew steadily colder. "AHAHAHAHA~~!! I bet you didn't see that coming, Li Mo! You must be feeling the pain by now!"

Li Mo's brow twitched. 'What pain? All I did was destroy your Dharma Vehicle.'

"So, what's this Karmic Fire feel like? Do tell."

'Karmic Fire?' Li Mo was more confused than ever. 'Can destroying your ride really trigger Karmic Fire?'

Feng Fu seemed to realize something was wrong. Li Mo showed no signs of pain whatsoever, and the sky above was clear, with no indication of a descending Heavenly Punishment.

'Could it be that kid wasn't a Saint?'

'No, that's impossible. It must be that the Karmic Fire and Heavenly Punishment just need time. They don't arrive this quickly.'

With that, Feng Fu snorted coldly and declared, "Wangyou Sect, surrender now! Your Sect Leader is a dead man walking. I don't wish to cause needless slaughter. Those at Low-grade Golden Core or below will be spared if you surrender!"

Li Mo was dumbfounded. 'What kind of technique is this? I'm perfectly fine, yet he's calling me a dead man and already laying out the terms of surrender?'

The disciples of the Wangyou Sect froze. They resentfully stopped casting their spells, and the Golden Core Battle Arrays on both sides ground to a halt as all eyes turned to the two men. Following their lead, the Supreme Elders on both sides also ceased their battle.

Li Mo was exasperated. 'Is this his grand strategy? Psychological warfare?'

He took a deep breath and roared, "Feng Fu, what game are you playing? You think destroying a single Dharma Vehicle is enough to curse me to death? What a joke! Stop spouting such baseless nonsense and let's settle this with real power!"

The Spirit Sword in his hand instantly multiplied into thousands of blades. He let out a low growl: "Void Sword Technique!"

They shot straight for Feng Fu!
