Chapter 1104: A Dog's Courage, a Mouse's Heart

Zhao Lingdong was in hot pursuit when suddenly he frowned and stopped.

“Hmm? Not moving?”

“Ao wu, ao wu…” Beside him, Ao Tian also barked twice.

Zhao Lingdong nodded and said, “This kid is full of tricks. Better not advance rashly. Let’s wait for Mo Datong and Mo Santong to arrive, then we’ll push forward together! As long as we keep him locked down and don’t let him escape, that’s enough!”

By now, Zhao Lingdong was already seeing danger in every shadow.

Having been tricked by Ye Yuan time and again, their side had suffered heavy losses.

Zhao Lingdong still felt it was safer to wait for the demonic artifacts of the Three Monsters of Moling before attacking together.

Before long, Mo Datong and Mo Santong finally caught up.

Seeing Zhao Lingdong hesitate to advance, Mo Datong frowned and said, “Why aren’t you chasing?”

Zhao Lingdong glanced at him and said, “He’s stopped! This kid is full of tricks. It’s safer if we go together.”

The death of Mo Ertong had made Mo Datong much colder.

He gave Zhao Lingdong a cold look and said, “If you’re scared, just say so. No need to dress it up.”

Zhao Lingdong choked at his words and said angrily, “Mo Datong, watch your mouth! It’s not just Mo Ertong who’s dead now; Ao Tian also lost a wing to that kid! We’ve suffered enough losses—shouldn’t we be more careful?”

Mo Datong snorted coldly, “He’s just a dog. Are you comparing him to Ertong? Besides, he only lost one wing! If you weren’t so timid, we’d have killed him long ago!”

Zhao Lingdong hadn’t expected Mo Datong to become so unreasonable, and his words infuriated him.

“Mo Datong, don’t forget the Lord God’s orders! Let’s settle any grievances after we kill Ji Qingyun! If we keep fighting among ourselves, that kid will be the one laughing.”

Knowing this was no time for a quarrel, Zhao Lingdong forcibly suppressed his temper.

Hearing Zhao Lingdong’s words, Mo Datong snorted again and said, “Where is that kid? Let’s go kill him together! I’ll make sure he dies a miserable death!”

“There, in that valley over there,” Zhao Lingdong said, pointing with his chin.

Ahead lay a vast valley, shrouded in thick mist that made it impossible to see inside.

It was no wonder Zhao Lingdong was cautious—under such circumstances, no one would dare enter recklessly.

But Mo Datong, blinded by hatred, cared nothing for Zhao Lingdong’s thoughts and only blamed him for not keeping Ye Yuan pinned down.

Mo Datong glanced sideways at him and snorted, “A bit of mist scares you that much? Santong, let’s go!”

With that, the two leaped into the valley.

Zhao Lingdong frowned, deeply annoyed, but had no choice but to follow.

The four were bold and skilled. They parted the mist and entered the valley directly.

Zhao Lingdong’s brow furrowed as he said in a low voice, “Do you sense it? There are many powerful beings in this valley! That kid lured us here—he’s definitely up to no good.”

Mo Datong said dismissively, “What’s there to fear? With the Mountains and Rivers Diagram bestowed by the Lord God, can these creatures turn the world upside down? If they know what’s good for them, they’ll behave; if not, we’ll slaughter them too!”

Zhao Lingdong felt the man was beyond reason.

At that moment, he wished he could kill the two and take the artifact for himself.

Of course, it was just a thought; if it came to a fight, he would surely lose.

Before long, Zhao Lingdong suddenly said, “Very close now. It seems to be just ahead!”

Those words lifted the spirits of Mo Datong and Mo Santong.

The two took out their artifacts, ready to strike. The moment they saw Ye Yuan, they would annihilate him with overwhelming force!

Sure enough, before long, they saw Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan also saw them and said with a smile, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why are you only here now?"

As soon as Mo Datong saw Ye Yuan, his hair stood on end!

"Kid, you dare to kill Er Tong? Today I'll tear you into a thousand pieces to honor Er Tong's spirit in heaven!" Mo Datong roared.

Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "As I said before, since you came to kill me, be prepared to be killed!"

Mo Datong was furious and said, "Fine! Very well! In that case, you can die!"

Mo Datong was about to make a move, but Zhao Lingdong grabbed him.

"Don't go over! Do you think this kid would just surrender? He must have set some trap for us to fall into. Don't be fooled again!" Zhao Lingdong shouted coldly.

Hearing this, Ye Yuan threw his head back and laughed, "Zhao Lingdong, they say a dog's guts are as big as the sky, but your guts are smaller than a mouse's! Four Void Profound powerhouses, two divine artifacts, and you still don't dare to attack?"

Hearing this, Zhao Lingdong was not angered but felt a jolt in his heart.

Ye Yuan's words were clearly meant to provoke Mo Datong!

He became even more convinced that Ye Yuan had some trick waiting for them!

However, Mo Datong, provoked by Ye Yuan, could no longer hold back.

He glared at Zhao Lingdong and said, "Get lost! After I kill this brat, I'll definitely report you to the Divine Lord!"

With that, the scroll in his hand suddenly blazed with light; the Map of Mountains and Rivers had already been activated.

The Map of Mountains and Rivers was a very powerful divine artifact. Even if it didn't absorb the opponent, its power was extraordinary.

Mo Datong knew that Ye Yuan also had a divine artifact, so he couldn't absorb him. Thus, he directly activated the Map of Mountains and Rivers to kill Ye Yuan.

"Third Brother, make your move!" Mo Datong shouted.

Without needing to be told, Mo Santong's short blade was already in hand.

He fully unleashed his Divine King domain; the power of that single strike could shatter mountains and rivers!

The might of two terrifying divine artifacts instantly spread throughout the entire valley.

"Roar, roar..."

From the valley, earth-shaking roars suddenly erupted.

More than a dozen black shadows rushed in from all directions.

Seeing this, Zhao Lingdong's expression changed drastically, and he said, "Damn it! You two idiots, you've startled the wild beasts in the valley. Let's see how you clean this up!"

"To hell with them! Kill!"

As he spoke, the Map of Mountains and Rivers and the short blade emitted two dazzling beams of light, slashing straight at Ye Yuan.

However, Ye Yuan stood there unmoving, as if those attacks were not aimed at him.

Suddenly, more than a dozen terrifying attacks converged from all directions, directly intercepting the combined strike of the two divine artifacts!

Each of these dozen or so attacks possessed power no less than that of a Void Profound powerhouse; they were extremely formidable.

Although the two divine artifacts were fearsome, they could not withstand the sheer number of wild beasts.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion of energy in the air sent everyone flying, including Mo Datong and the others.

"Impossible! Why are these wild beasts helping this kid? This is impossible!" Mo Datong roared.

"You pig! Now look at the mess you've made!" Zhao Lingdong roared.
