BTTH: Starting from Capturing the Goddess-Chapter 37 - : Severed Arm

"Not good!"

The Four-Star Dou Ling's expression changed drastically. Without hesitation, he waved his hand and shouted, "Retreat, now!"

The commotion naturally caught the attention of Yue Nu, who was outside the palace being held up by Moba Si.

Her face darkened as a brilliant sword light shot out from the palace, followed by several dark shadows moving swiftly.

When she saw the figure atop that sword light, Yue Nu instantly understood what had happened.

Staring at the now grim-faced Moba Si, Yue Nu gritted her teeth and snapped, "Are you insane?"

"I'm not insane! It's Her Majesty who has lost her mind!" Moba Si roared. "Because of that human, she stripped me of my position as the palace guard commander! I must kill that brat!"

After meticulously planning for so long, the human still managed to escape. Moba Si had fallen into madness, channeling all his resentment and fury toward Chen Mo.

His Dou Qi wings condensed. With a powerful flap, he shot toward the fleeing human.

"What do you think you're doing?! Stop!" Yue Nu was shocked. She hadn't expected Moba Si to act so recklessly. As Queen Medusa's personal guard, she could clearly sense that Her Majesty was placing increasing importance on this human.

If Moba Si killed him, even though he was a member of the snake-tribe, Queen Medusa would never let him off lightly.

Breaking into the palace at night was already an act of treason.

And this wasn't the first time Moba Si had defied Her Majesty's orders.

No, she had to inform the queen immediately!

Chen Mo originally thought that once he escaped the palace, he would be safe.

After all, he had caused such a commotion—surely they would back down now.

But he never expected that a figure would suddenly burst into the sky, charging at him with terrifying speed.

In the blink of an eye, the figure appeared before him.

A Five-Star Dou Wang.

The system's scan revealed Moba Si's cultivation without a doubt.

"So it really was you," Chen Mo said, his expression darkening. "Sure, we've had some minor conflicts, but that shouldn't be enough for you to want me dead, right?"

While speaking, he was already thinking of ways to escape, stalling for time.

"Trying to buy time? Keep dreaming—die!"

Moba Si roared, condensing his Dou Qi into a massive saber resembling the one wielded by Guan Yu and swung it fiercely at Chen Mo.

There were many reasons why he wanted Chen Mo dead.

First, because he was human.

Second, because during the desert incident, Chen Mo had wounded him.

Third, because he lost his position as commander.

Fourth, because of jealousy.

The more Queen Medusa protected him, the more Moba Si wanted to kill him.

Facing a Five-Star Dou Wang, Chen Mo naturally couldn't clash head-on. Instead, he used his Kunpeng Wings to evade while controlling Tian Yuan to launch counterattacks, slowing Moba Si down and stalling for time.

Meanwhile.

Yue Nu had already informed Queen Medusa about the assassination attempt on Chen Mo.

At that moment, Queen Medusa was discussing the abolition of unreasonable clan rules with the three Grand Elders. Upon hearing Yue Nu's words, her sharp eyes swept coldly over the three elders.

"This discussion is over."

The moment she finished speaking, a crimson light flashed, and Queen Medusa's figure disappeared.

"Clang!"

Moba Si's saber clashed against Chen Mo's sword, sending it flying. His face grew darker—he hadn't expected this human to have so many astonishing techniques.

A mere Dou Shi had managed to evade him for so long.

"Poisonous Fiend Seal!"

Moba Si roared, condensing a dark green poison seal in his palm and thrusting it toward Chen Mo.

But Chen Mo wasn't foolish enough to take the hit head-on and continued dodging.

Seeing his attack miss again, Moba Si gritted his teeth and muttered an incantation. Suddenly, his speed surged, and in a blink, he appeared right in front of Chen Mo, swinging his saber down.

"Let's see you dodge this time, brat!"

"What?!"

Chen Mo's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Moba Si's speed to increase so suddenly. Caught off guard, he could only raise his sword to block.

His Dou Qi-condensed longsword was instantly shattered by Moba Si's strike. The saber's edge closed in on his chest, its sharp aura already cutting through his robe.

"Die!" Moba Si's face was twisted with murderous intent.

"Clang!"

Sparks flew as the blade struck Chen Mo's chest, producing a loud metallic clang. The expected scene of him being cleaved in half never happened. Instead, after sustaining a shallow wound, Chen Mo was sent flying backward.

"Impossible!"

Moba Si's face twisted in shock. That attack should have cut him down—but it had only left a minor injury?!

"Thank goodness for Iron Body," Chen Mo muttered, glancing at the two-centimeter-deep wound on his chest.

Quickly, he pressed several acupuncture points around the wound, stopping the bleeding.

"Xuan-Class Low-Tier Dou Technique—Tyrant Blade Slash!"

A violent wind howled as a dazzling blade light slashed toward Chen Mo's head, threatening to cleave him in two.

But Chen Mo only glanced at it before closing his star-like eyes. As his eyes shut, a black-and-white Dou Qi sword condensed in his grasp.

The sword trembled, and faintly, a blood-red sword mark emerged on the blade.

Boom!

A terrifying sword aura suddenly erupted. It felt as though a sealed monstrous entity was slowly awakening.

A second later, Chen Mo's eyes snapped open. With a flick of his hand, his sword qi surged out, weaving intricate patterns in the air like a dragon's calligraphy.

The sword marks rapidly connected, and in an instant, a radiant sword lotus the size of a palm formed before him.

The sword lotus was breathtakingly beautiful, yet within that beauty lay a near-apocalyptic destructive force, utterly at odds with the world around it.

Chen Mo's sword trembled. The sword lotus shot forward like a meteor, illuminating the surroundings with blinding light.

As the light engulfed the battlefield, Chen Mo's icy voice rang out:

"One Sword, Severing Worlds!"

Boom!

Moba Si's blade aura shattered upon impact. His massive saber cracked and disintegrated into dust.

Then, an unimaginably sharp sword intent slammed into Moba Si's body.

Boom!

Upon impact, his Dou Qi defenses exploded, his armor shattered, and the sword lotus detonated, leaving over a dozen deep wounds across his body.

Moba Si coughed up blood as he was sent flying.

However, as a Dou Wang, despite sustaining serious injuries, he hadn't lost his ability to fight—after all, the attack came from a mere Dou Shi.

"That's all you've got?" Moba Si sneered, suppressing his injuries and preparing to charge again.

But Chen Mo smirked.

"Is that so? Look behind you."

Moba Si's expression twisted. He turned around—only to see another sword lotus, brimming with the aura of death, surging toward him.

That sword...!

Moba Si tried to dodge, but it was too late.

A flash of sword light.

His right arm exploded into a mist of blood.

"AAAHHHH!"

A bloodcurdling scream echoed through the heavens.

Moba Si clutched his right shoulder, where a fountain of blood sprayed uncontrollably. His face contorted in pain, but through gritted teeth, he snarled, "Brat, I'll kill you!"

Chen Mo, his face pale, hadn't expected Moba Si to survive even this. Using One Sword, Severing Worlds twice had nearly drained all his Dou Qi.

Seeing Moba Si charging at him once again, Chen Mo prepared to use his final trump card, the Great Sun Indestructible Body.

But before he could act—

A crimson light suddenly shot through the sky, sending Moba Si flying.

Within that red glow, an authoritative yet chillingly elegant voice resounded.

"Impudent!"
