Mo Dao warped and the scenery changed rapidly but the threatening aura behind him was getting closer.
HUM
He jumped in the 9th fold and his speed increased dramatically. Yang Shitian jumped in 9th fold as well but his speed was slower than Mo Dao thus the distance was widening
BOOOOM
A thunderous sound echoed in the folds of space which shook the outside world as Yang Shitian fired a beam of concentrated light. Mo Dao felt a chill and hurriedly evaded, wherever the light passed the space became turbulent and lethal spatial storms and cracks ran in all directions dismembering everything in the sight.
AARRRRGH
Wang Tingshen got swept away, his middle body disappeared leaving the torso and legs behind.
BANG
Next moment the soul brand triggered and his head exploded into smithereens while the body disintigrated. Mo Dao's face was gloomy but his eyes were calm. He again wrapped others with divine energy and wrapped forward. As Mo Dao kept warping suddenly his eyes lit up and a sneer flashed by his face as he warped in the physical world.
Youzo County which comes under Anyang Province is governed by Bai family alone. Unlike Gu Zhang in Minghe who exercised actual powers of county head backed by his strength as a peak Grandmaster the county lord of Youzo is just a puppet and the true masters of Youzo are Bai family who have backing of Chen Family from Anyang. The county people still remembers the terror and genocide of Wei family by Bai family with the help of Chen family. From then on no one denied their superiority rather some rampant grandmasters also became meek and joined Bai family for collaboration. The county was filled with Hustle and Bustle but suddenly in the central plaza an uninvited guest made his entry.
Mo Dao's divine sense exploded and covered whole of Youzo like a circular dome and
BOOOOOOM
His aura was fully exposed and a burning sun 500meter in diameter rose from his body, the temperature of whole Youzo crossed 500°C instantly which killed all normal people, animals and floura alike
"Bastard"
Three auras of peak Grandmaster rose from ancestral home of Bai family, three domains of Iron expanded and a mighty castle made of iron surrounded Bai family ancestral home guarding everyone inside
BANG
Another Sunball emerged from Mo Dao's hands which targeted the castle
BOOOOM
The castle melted like snowball in a desert and disappeared along with its residents.
HUUM
Mo Dao again warped away and few seconds later Yang Shitian emerged from deep space. He scanned the surroundings with apathetic yet frosty eyes. He was angry for being provoked by a weaker being yet it also amused him a bit yet the amusement will not shorten Mo Dao's misery if caught by him. For so long he was revered and respected that he had almost forgotten the thrill and excitement of conquering an unruly human.
BOOOOM
Yang Shitian squinted his eyes and both the fire and sunball withered into vital energy which repaired the surroundings. The sky rumbled and a heavy downpour of rain submerged the land followed by green plants rising from the ground and spreading their roots. There were no survivors from the residents, thus Yang Shitian turned whole Youzo into a lush forest.
HUUM
It all took just a few seconds for Mo Dao to destroy Youzo and for Yang Shitian to cure the environment but the death count already exceeded ten thousands. Mo Dao still felt Yang Shitian on his trail which now irked him even more. He really underestimated Yang Shitian's bottom line for Morality or was there a bottom line in the first place, Mo Dao wrapped in another County and after committing the hellish slaughter slaughter he once again disappeared. Yang Shitian emerged and all the laws bent to his will, he instantly repaired the broken and dead land but now his face was gloomy and solemn. This was 5th county Mo Dao destroyed in succession and his direction of escape was in the same direction as Capital of Long Empire.
Yang Shitian took out his rune and alerted Wang Qi in capital.
*****
Wang Qi who was meditating inside a chamber of imperial castle took out the rune and as he read the message his eyes widened and he disappeared instantly.
The courtroom was empty, Emperor Long Huang sat on his throne with his head tilted and supported by right hand. As an emperor he needs to needs to be the role model of discipline and inspiration to others but today he wasn't in a mood to entertain the foolish ideals of an emperor rather he wanted to howl and rampage. Death of a beloved son and isolation of his empress weighed on his heart.
"Emperor that mongrel who killed prince Long Pinyin is being chased by 10th elder and will arrive at Capital in few minutes. We need to prepare."
"Is that true" Long Huang stood up from the throne
"Absolutely"
"Good"
BANG
DING DING DING
As Long Huang smashed the pedestal of his throne three bells resounded throughout the capital that alerted everyone. Multiple divine sense exuding fearsome and deep auras emerged from the depths of castle and both Shi and Wan family. They scanned the whole capital then concentrated in the courtroom. Long Huang sensed the divine senses and his eyes were dignified. All of them were either Nirvana-6 or Nirvana-7 saints, they were his peers and once he competed against them as a teenager.
"Lockdown the capital a mouse will arrive soon. He is proficient in Space laws thus disintigrate and destabilise the space wherever you feel slightest of disturbance or movement in the folds. Make sure to capture him if he comes out. Whoever captures him will be granted three wishes from Long family."
BAM
All the divine senses disintigrated but emperor long could feel their deep scrutiny over the capital. At present the capital is no less then a tigers den and dragons pool.
A while later Mo Dao arrived outside Long Capital but he did not barged in, the saints were alert and their divine sense covered the whole capital along with three miles outside the walls of capital. They can't enter 9th fold of space but they can create enough disturbance to destabilise the space channel which will be dangerous. While it won't be life threatening but it can delay him enough for Yang Shitian to catch up.
RUMBLE~
The earth quaked and hundreds of boulder tens of meters in size rose from ground.
DRIP DRIP
Mo Dao pierced his palm and thousand drops of sizzling and magma like blood came out, they drilled inside the boulders and Mo Dao coated all of them with his aura.
BANG
The space trembled and they entered the space channel of 9th fold.
Meanwhile in capital all saints were waiting when suddenly they felt the trembling in the 9th fold of space. Their eyes lit up as they bombarded the space in their vicinity.
BOOM BOOM BOOOOM BOOOOOOOM
Hundreds of explosions resounded throughout the capital. The ground rumbled and thousands died in the aftermath but Long Huang face was expressionless. Soon all the saints had confused eyes, how come they all felt the rumbling at the same time in different directions?
BANG BANG BANG
But their confusion was answered soon as hundred of boulders fell out from the deep space
SIZZLE
The boulders had almost melted into magma and a deadly aura emitted out of them.
BOOOOM BOOOOM BOOOOM
The capital was again shaken by explosions, many who managed to survive in the aftermath were again swept away and this time they evaporated. The blood of Mo Dao inside the boulders exploded bringing misery to many and embarrassment for the saints.
At the same time Mo Dao popped out from the deep space in the old Imperial castle where the tragedy of Long Pinyin took place.
SHUA
As he released his aura shortly empress Wan Danhwa who was frozen inside the ice cube trembled. Her eyes shot open and the coffin of ice exploded into splinters. Long Huang who hovered a mile away was alarmed
BOOOM
A sword made of ice appeared in her hands and she slashed fiercely on Mo Dao's neck. She felt Mo Dao's aura which was of a Nirvana-1 saint thus she was confident that the blow will decapitate him but
DRIP
The sword melted before it could even touch Mo Dao along with that the whole surrounding which was encased by ice melted into water as well.
CRUNCH
BOOOOOM
Mo Dao grabbed her right shoulder crushing it and a solid punch blasted in her gut. Mo Dao barely used any strength otherwise she might accidentally die but even after he held back Wan Danhwa was on the verge of losing her consciousness.
"Stop" Long Huang shouted from a mile away, he felt desperate but Mo Dao was already at the other end of capital. All of his preparation was for naught.
Mo Dao's right hand tightly clasped her mouth till it bled and warped rapidly without going in deep space
"You better not chase if you want her alive." Mo Dao's voice reverberated in the old castle. Long Huang stopped but next moment his eyes became fierce and four dragon wings emerged from his back.
BOOOM
"Stop there you motherfucker" He would be a fool if he really believed Mo Dao.
"Father, Ancestor please help" long Huang shouted while chasing Mo Dao
"Calm Down" A relaxed voice resounded as a middle aged man with golden crown popped out 4 mile away from Mo Dao.
Mo Dao's face was calm without a hint of frustration. He had felt his presence before he even entered the capital. A 99% comprehension in space can really do wonders.
BOOOOM
The land parted and sea submerged an area of 8miles. Eight hands emerged from his shoulders each carrying different weapon. Three pair of black wings tore out from his back and he towered as the height exceeded to 500meters. Dense black scales covered all over his body and the air became heavy as Long Shin unleashed his strength.
Long Huang was left gaping as he saw the monstrous figure of his father whose only legends he had heard. His father is the previous Emperor and most feared emperor long empire ever had in its glorious history, during the siege of Blood Demons he commanded the war and slaughtered his way through Imperial family of Dacun.
Mo Dao's eyes became solemn as he readied himself for battle. Mo Dao had destroyed 9 counties and half a province with survivors which bought him 3 minutes from Yang Shitian. In these 3 minutes he needs to escape from Long Shin. Mo Dao's true goal is to cross Dacun and enter the Empire governed under Sun-Moon valley. That is the only way to shake Yang Shitian off his trail otherwise sooner or later Mo Dao will be caught then his end will be miserable.
