Just as Hu Shan was frantically waving the Flame Blade, the cold current that had been submerged in the flames suddenly burst open, splitting into seven strands and scattering around Hu Shan's body. The seven thin streams, carrying white cold air, rotated rapidly, emitting a faint hissing sound.

  "Qī Wō"

  Seven cold airs and sword edges formed a whirlpool, like a cage surrounding Hu Shan.

  The extremely powerful whirlpool speed is extremely frightening, like a small tornado, with strong suction power, where it passes, the layered flames are sucked away without a single drop left.

  Tao Xuer and Yan Mingzi's faces showed inexplicable shock, looking at the scene in disbelief. The outer door disciples behind Zuo Mo were all excited and bewildered, as if they were drunk.

  Hú Shān's face was filled with terror!

  Around him, seven whirlpools of water and fire intertwined, forming a slender vortex that trapped him tightly with seven thin pillars. The crackling explosion sound of the intersection of water and fire showed how unstable they were, and also showed the terrifying power they contained!

  "No!"

  Hu Shan let out a desperate roar and swiftly reached into his waist pouch with his left hand.

  Boom!

  Seven water and fire whirlpools burst out simultaneously, poor Hu Shan, had just taken out a protective armor talisman, but was swallowed up by countless flames and tiny ice needles!

  The explosion dissipated, leaving behind a wisp of smoke. Only then did the crowd get a clear look at Hu Shan's appearance. His once dazzling red spirit armor had dulled and lost its luster, with a patch of charred blackness on it. The surface of the armor was covered in numerous tiny scars. Hu Shan's previously neatly tied hair now resembled a bird's nest, his entire face charred black, with wisps of smoke still rising from his face and head. His flame knife had no flames to speak of, completely devoid of its previous aura. His right hand clenched the remains of a shield symbol that had been reduced to half its original size, too late to be used.

  The whole person was like a charred wooden stake.

  The jade pendant is surprisingly intact!

  Zuo Mo let out a breath of relief, secretly circulating the "Vajra Minor Words" as he carefully approached Hu Shan. After taking a glance at Hu Shan, who didn't react in any way, Zuo Mo unceremoniously removed the red jade pendant from Hu Shan's waist. Having done so, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret as he gazed at the Flame Knife on Hu Shan's hand and the Spirit Armor on his body. These two items were also excellent! However, Zuo Mo deeply understood that one shouldn't be too excessive in their actions. For now, taking the pendant was acceptable as it was spoils of war, but if he were to strip someone completely bare, he'd have to wait for them to make a desperate last stand.

  Moreover, Zuo Mo didn't relax his vigilance. His left hand was still stretched into the treasure bag, touching the newly acquired Water Droplet Sword as he busied himself leaving his mark. Although this short period of time wasn't enough to refine the flying sword, he could only leave behind the most basic mark. However, the Ice Crystal Sword had been destroyed and he was now unarmed, while the other side still had one person left.

  "Haha!" Yan Mingzi couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw Zuo Mo take away Hu Shan's jade pendant. He was clearly aware of how precious that jade pendant was to Hu Shan! Seeing Hu Shan suffer an even greater loss and feeling more stifled than himself, Yan Mingzi suddenly felt a sense of balance in his heart. It seemed that losing the Drop of Water sword wasn't so painful after all.

  Tao Xuer looked at Hu Shan's pitiful appearance and couldn't help but burst out laughing. However, when she turned her gaze to Zuo Mo, her eyes were filled with surprise and curiosity.

  Hu Shan suddenly came back to his senses and saw Zuo Mo standing right in front of him. His anger surged, and with a loud roar, he raised his knife, ready to chop Zuo Mo into two halves.

  He had long been prepared for his left Mo to make a move, and he flashed out his right hand with golden light, accurately grasping Hu Shan's neck, then pulling hard...

  Bang!

  Like hitting your head against a stone wall.

  The air was filled with a synchronized intake of cold breath, and everyone stared at Zuo Mo in a daze. Their mouths were agape, and they completely lost the ability to speak.

  It still hurts! Left Mo Zha rubbed his teeth, and casually threw Hu Shan, who had already fainted, to the ground. His right hand forcefully rubbed his forehead. His forehead was intact, while Hu Shan's forehead had a blood flower blooming.

  When can I finally master the flying sword? Zuo Mo rubbed his forehead, which was shining with golden light, and thought to himself. However, he was still relatively satisfied, as the pain of cultivating his body over this period of time had not been in vain.

  "Are you going to hit me again?" he asked Tao Xuer.

  To be honest, he was quite nervous when asking this question. But his expressionless zombie face was a perfect display of skill, and Tao Xuer also completely shocked by Zuo Mo's unconventional methods, for a moment, she didn't know how to respond.

  "Don't fight and take him away. My brother is busy." Zuo Mo hastily took the opportunity to seal off the other's words, waved his hand, and turned around to leave.

  "Wait!" Tao Xuer suddenly shouted at him.

  Zuo Mo's heart skipped a beat, was he going to fight again? At this time, his flying sword had been destroyed, and it would be impossible for him to summon another one at will in such a short period of time. His entire body's spiritual energy had also been depleted by more than half.

  "Anything else?" He turned around and asked with a pretended displeasure.

  "Wu Kong Jian Men indeed produces top-notch experts, but since you've issued a one-on-one challenge, I, Ling Ying Sect's disciples, will naturally accompany you to the end. At that time, please advise, don't dodge." Tao Xiang'er stared at Zuo Mo, saying word by word.

  She had to admit, they underestimated them today and suffered a crushing defeat. Especially the calm and collected expression on Luo Mo's face, how could these arrogant and spoiled rich kids swallow this bitter pill? However, when it came to taking action herself, she was somewhat hesitant, as she couldn't see through the person in front of her.

  Especially that last headbutt from Zuo Mo...

  "Hmm, such a fun thing, how can it be just for the three of them? Tao Xuer thought slyly, she believed many people in the door would be interested."

  Zuo Mo couldn't help but feel a pang of hatred at this moment and wished that the three people would leave immediately. Without thinking, he waved his hand in a driving motion: "Leave!"

  After finishing speaking, he turned around and left with a flourish, under the gaze of the outer sect disciples who were worshipping him with all their might. He didn't hear Tao Xiu'er speak again until he was far away, and only then did Zuo Mo let out a sigh of relief.

  Tao Xuer bit her lip, she had never been so ignored and driven away with such impatience! Sometimes, a woman's hatred can sprout from an extremely small matter.

  Just you wait! She thought resentfully.

  Zuo Mo returned to the West Wind Small Courtyard, reluctant to part with the two pieces of treasure in his hands. What great stuff! The more he looked at them, the more he loved them, and today was a huge gain! As for whether there would be any follow-up or not, it was completely thrown out of his mind. In his opinion, these two top-grade treasures were worth it no matter what happened!

  After recovering his spiritual energy in the stone chamber, Zuo Mo began to refine the Droplet of Water Sword.

  At the first refining, he deeply felt that Di Shui Jian was indeed a top-notch flying sword among the three products! Di Shui Jian's body is extremely soft and can be bent at will. It actually contains extremely rich Xuan Shui, which is actually a water sword! Spiritual power can easily reach any part of the sword, and due to its extreme softness, Ling Mo can even change the shape of the flying sword by controlling his spiritual power.

  It's tailor-made for "The Water Sword".

  From the moment he obtained it, Zuo Mo placed it in the Stone Room's Spiritual Spring. The spiritual spring was full of lively spiritual energy, and placing it inside would slowly nourish it, which was also extremely helpful for increasing the spirituality of the Drop of Water Sword.

  As for the jade pendant, Zuo Mo wore it on his body every day. He had also figured out the formation method on the jade pendant. There were three formations on the jade pendant, in addition to the "Flowing Fire Heart Guard Formation", there was also the "Clear Mind Mantra" and the "Gathering Spirit Formation". These three formations were all extremely practical, the "Flowing Fire Heart Guard Formation" didn't need to be said, the "Clear Mind Mantra" nourished the heart and calmed the mind, while the "Gathering Spirit Formation" could gather the surrounding spiritual energy, it was as practical as it gets.

  If it weren't for the left Mo You Shi's spiritual vein, "Ji Ling Zhen" would definitely be one of his most desired formations. The "Ji Ling Zhen" on the jade pendant is only a primary-level gathering spirit formation, but its effect is still very significant.

  Zuo Mo wore a jade pendant in the stone room, meditating and entering a state of concentration, his efficiency increasing by 10%!

  Don't underestimate the power of accumulation, under the influence of years and months, the gap it brings is astonishing. The Spirit Gathering Array is one of the most studied arrays, but at the same time, it is also known as an array that relies on crystal stones, requiring a large amount of crystal stones to be consumed. Therefore, the initial stage of the Spirit Gathering Array is not even comparable to directly absorbing spiritual energy from crystal stones. However, if you want to set it up on a jade pendant, apart from needing the refiner to be extremely proficient in the Spirit Gathering Array, the material itself must also have the property of gathering spirits. But all materials that possess this property are precious and expensive.

  The most valuable thing on this jade pendant is this inconspicuous "Soul Gathering Array", which is even more valuable than the "Flowing Fire Heart Guard Array". Just this "Soul Gathering Array" alone is enough to make this jade pendant a top-grade, third-class treasure.

  Unfortunately, he can't refine the elixir now, otherwise, he would like to try the effect of "Flowing Fire Heart Array".

  Zuo Mo didn't expect that his actions of driving away the Ling Ying Sect troublemakers would have such a huge impact on the outer sect disciples, far surpassing the influence of the inner sect assessment and Luo Li's battle. For the outer sect disciples, who was stronger was certainly awe-inspiring, but it was the senior brother who was willing to protect their interests that they truly admired.

  This time in the fight, Zuo Mo also had a rather deep understanding.

  In terms of actual skill, he wasn't much different from Yan Mingzi and Hu Shan, and might even be slightly weaker. The reason he was able to win was because of his comprehension of the sword intent, whether it was Xin An's tidal sword intent or the distant water sword intent. His understanding of the sword techniques and the momentum far surpassed that of his opponents, and with their underestimation of him, he was able to gain the upper hand so easily.

  Otherwise, he might be the one who loses, such as Hu Shan if he had used the armor symbol a step earlier.

  At this thought, Zuo Mo couldn't help but feel indignant. These people were fighting? They were simply smashing crystal stones!

  That magnificent treasure made him drool, and the protective charms were used as if they were nothing. He was so pained by their extravagance! What a waste! It's really too wasteful!

  Another thing that caught my attention is "Jin Gang Wei Yan". It played a significant role for both Yan Ming Zi and Hu Shan. I think I need to focus on practicing "Jin Gang Wei Yan", this stuff not only can save lives, but also has unexpected effects in critical situations.

  But then he thought of the Diamond Sutra and remembered the stele version of the Diamond Sutra.

  Those five revised sentences lingered in his mind, emerging from time to time. Especially when he practiced "Jingang Weiyen", he would involuntarily think of those different five sentences, greatly affecting the practice effect.

  Why don't we give it a try? Luo Mo thought hesitantly.
