Chen Mo acted on his own whim.
Sword light filled the sky, and the sword energy that tore through space seemed to shatter everything.
Amidst the utterly astonished gazes of the crowd, Chen Mo appeared to merge with the sword formation, transforming into a streak of light that swiftly traversed within it.
Each movement would trigger a sword shadow, the clanging sound resounding throughout the heavens and earth!
Inside the sword formation, Ma Xiaotao's alarm bells rang loudly, and the next second confirmed her guess.
Countless wounds appeared on her body, and the intense pain was accompanied by a strange sense of comfort that spread throughout her body.
"Stop it right now!"
Yan Shaozhe, suspended in mid-air, glared furiously at his beloved disciple, who resembled a worn-out doll within the sword formation. He unleashed all of his soul power without reservation.
An immense pressure filled the entire outer courtyard.
The students from the outer courtyard felt as if an invisible mountain was floating in the sky, giving them the illusion of being too majestic to look directly at!
Faced with this overwhelming pressure, Chen Mo seemed oblivious, his speed increasing and his sword flashing.
It gives one the illusion of being unafraid of powerful forces.
As Chen Mo increased his speed, Ma Xiaotao's wounds became more and more numerous, with some wounds even reaching deep enough to expose the bone!
Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe knew he couldn't wait any longer. If he allowed Chen Mo to continue, his beloved disciple would surely perish!
He then planned to reach out and forcibly crush the sword formation to rescue Ma Xiaotao, just as he was about to make his move.
"Master, no!" Ma Xiaotao cried out, her face pale.
There's no other reason than that, according to Ma Xiaotao's perception, with each attack from Chen Mo, the evil fire within her body would diminish by a fraction!
This is a great opportunity for her. As long as she can persevere, her evil fire will surely disappear!
Thinking of this, her gaze towards Chen Mo became much more intense.
Over the years, Ma Xiaotao has been deeply corrupted by lust and has made countless mistakes. Although Yan Shaozhe always cleans up her messes, it's still an unpleasant experience.
As a top-tier expert, Yan Shaozhe quickly discerned the clues.
Ma Xiaotao's soul power gradually became purer and no longer had any evil aura.
Yan Shaozhe was both shocked and furious.
To his surprise, his disciple's problem was finally about to be solved. Without the torment of the evil fire, he would surely be able to spread his wings and soar.
What angered Chen Mo was that he hadn't held back; Ma Xiaotao was now covered in blood and looked extremely terrifying.
Even the life force had weakened to the extreme!
Under Yan Shaozhe's murderous gaze, Chen Mo finished slaying the seventy-two sword shadows.
He collapsed to the ground, while Ma Xiaotao looked even more miserable. She was completely unrecognizable from her former self, and bright red blood was flowing out continuously, soon staining the ground beneath her red!
The moment the two landed, three figures rushed towards them.
Two beautiful figures came to Chen Mo's side, while an old figure came to Ma Xiaotao's side to examine her body.
Beside Chen Mo were Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao, while next to Ma Xiaotao was Yan Shaozhe.
Upon learning that his beloved disciple had only suffered minor injuries, Yan Shaozhe breathed a sigh of relief and carefully used his soul power to lift Ma Xiaotao up and fly towards the inner courtyard.
He didn't even glance at Chen Mo.
Yan Shaozhe had a good impression of Chen Mo initially because of his talent, but after investigating and discovering that Chen Mo had problems, he gave up on him.
This time, Yan Shaozhe only spared Chen Mo's dismissal because he helped Ma Xiaotao clear some of her evil energy; otherwise, he would have fired Chen Mo long ago!
With the help of the two women, Chen Mo stood up and looked at the two figures disappearing into the distance, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.
The Thread-Pulling Gu has been planted, so from now on, Ma Xiaotao will be his "true eye" in the inner courtyard.
As for why Ma Xiaotao came to cause him trouble this time, it's obvious even to a fool that it's because of our legendary sycophant Xu Sanshi.
"Since you insist on provoking me, then it's your problem." Chen Mo looked in a certain direction, his lips moving slightly.
He only wanted to use Xu Sanshi to lure Ma Xiaotao out, but he didn't expect the other party to go to such extremes and actually plan to use Ma Xiaotao to get rid of him!
Chen Mo then returned to his dormitory with the help of the two women.
Xu Sanshi, who was hiding in the shadows, was shocked. He hadn't expected this freshman to be so strong, and he hadn't died even after all that!
And that look in his eyes before he left... Could it be that he noticed me?
No, impossible!
Xu Sanshi kept trying to calm himself down, but the murderous intent in that look was far too obvious.
[Host detected altering Ma Xiaotao's worldline, turning her into a puppet. 40,000 Luck Points awarded.]
[Soul Power Reinforcement: Soul Power Increased by 3 Levels!]
Chen Mo, who was sitting on the bed meditating, opened his eyes upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashing in them.
"Although this trip was dangerous, the gains were also considerable! I have acquired two divine beast bodies, and my strength has reached the Soul Sect level!"
Thinking of this, Chen Mo's mind immediately stirred.
Two completely different soul energies appeared in his body.
One was dark and cold, the other was wild and hot.
It was none other than the Xuanwu Soul Power and the Fire Phoenix Soul Power!
The two soul energies continuously collided and devoured each other within Chen Mo's body.
Pfft.
Chen Mo spat out a mouthful of blood, making his already pale face look even more sickly.
"The system is in action, stop watching!"
Chen Mo cursed under his breath, then used his own soul power to temporarily isolate the two soul powers.
The next moment, a transparent spirit ring appeared behind Chen Mo, and the two streams of spirit power in his body were drawn into the transparent spirit ring by a mysterious force.
The soul power of the two top-tier martial souls rendered this soul in a half-black, half-red form.
The instant it took shape, Chen Mo felt a tremendous change in his physique.
He then summoned his own martial spirit, the Soul-Devouring Sword, which underwent a tremendous transformation.
The sword no longer resembled the original purple aura; its blade was now half black and half red, an extremely eerie sight.
Chen Mo's mind stirred, and the panel appeared before his eyes.

"System, if I destroy the puppet, will Ma Xiaotao be doomed?"
Destroying the item will likely result in death, while mental derangement is 100%.
Upon hearing the system's reply, Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction.
He didn't have a good impression of Ma Xiaotao; once he grew up, she would be useless to him.
