BTTH: Starting from Capturing the Goddess-Chapter 89 - 93: Releasing Ruthless Might Once Again

Heaven and earth fell silent.

Even the fiercest battle—Queen Medusa clashing against Han Feng and Yuan Yi—was momentarily interrupted as the three combatants turned to look.

That single sword strike, one that had slain a Dou Huang outright, left everyone present dumbfounded. Only after a long pause did all eyes shift to the youth hovering in the sky, holding a pitch-black sword.

Bathed in moonlight, the figure stood upon a deep-blue longsword. Though his face was slightly pale, his star-like eyes glinted with a sharpness so cold and fierce, few dared to meet his gaze directly.

Even from a distance, the atmosphere grew tense. Many swallowed hard and exchanged glances, unease brewing in their hearts.

A Dou Ling had just slain a Dou Huang. Was this even human?

([Author's Note: Some readers think this power scaling is exaggerated. Let me explain—divine-grade bloodline + divine-grade cultivation method + Heaven-tier Dou Technique + low-tier Saint-rank weapon. Killing a one-star Dou Huang—does that really sound too far-fetched? Even in the original, when the Fallen Heart Flame broke its seal, Xiao Yan was only a Dou Ling and still gave Fan Lao a hard time.])

Chen Mo's expression was pale.

That Heaven-Cleaving Sword Draw had consumed a tremendous amount of Dou Qi.

Though the technique hadn't been used at its full Heaven-tier potential, it had still drained nearly seventy percent of his energy.

Far off, Fan Lao steadied himself and wiped the cold sweat from his brow. His lips twitched involuntarily.

That brat—so young, yet not only had he forced him into such a sorry state...

He'd even killed Jia Xingtian right before his eyes.

"That damn kid!" he cursed through gritted teeth, a flicker of fear surfacing in his heart.

"Sect Master Fan, go capture him! He's clearly exhausted—he won't be able to unleash that move again!" Han Feng's cold voice rang out as he continued battling Queen Medusa alongside Yuan Yi.

Fan Lao raised his eyes and examined Chen Mo closely. Indeed, the youth's face looked noticeably weak.

Still, with the bloody example of Jia Xingtian before him, Fan Lao dared not be careless.

"Blood Armor!"

Fan Lao raised his hands. His fingers danced like lightning as blood-red energy surged around him. A set of dark crimson armor, like congealed blood, enveloped his body.

Summoning his blood spear once more, Fan Lao charged.

Chen Mo didn't flinch.

Though fighting two Dou Huang earlier had drained him, facing only Fan Lao now, he still had barely enough Dou Qi left to fight.

"Nine Heavens Swordfall!"

With his cold shout, a radiant sword aura, as brilliant as a galaxy, descended from the sky toward Fan Lao.

Fan Lao raised his blood spear to strike. The moment it collided with the sword aura, the spear was cleaved cleanly in two.

Clang! Clang!

The sword intent slammed into the blood-colored armor, producing the sound of metal striking metal.

Though the armor blocked the blow, the sheer impact forced Fan Lao to stagger backward through the air.

But—he had blocked it.

Numerous gazes shot toward him, all showing surprise.

Fan Lao's eyes lit up. That brat really is done for!

Han Feng let out a breath of relief. The real fight starts now.

"You damn human!"

Seeing Chen Mo faltering, Queen Medusa grew anxious. With a cold shout and surging crimson Dou Qi, a massive black vortex opened behind her.

"Hiss—!"

Fierce hissing echoed from within the vortex.

The next moment, several enormous fire-red serpents, each nearly a hundred meters long, slithered out behind Queen Medusa.

This technique consumed an enormous amount of energy. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Queen Medusa rarely used it.

"Die!"

With a wave of her hand, space rippled violently as the giant serpents lunged at Han Feng and Yuan Yi.

"Be careful! That's Queen Medusa's Snake Seal Curse!" Reina's panicked voice shouted from below.

"All-out defense!"

Han Feng and Yuan Yi exchanged a glance. Han Feng's eyes grew cold. He flipped his hands, and deep-blue flames roared to life in his palms.

His Dou Qi surged outward, billowing his robe as he exhaled slowly.

"Heaven-Searing Flame!"

With a flick of his hands, the blue flames spread like a tidal wave across the sky, causing the temperature to spike drastically.

The fire serpents' fierce momentum weakened slightly—after all, Heavenly Flames also countered Queen Medusa.

"Mysterious Gate Shield!"

Yuan Yi's sleeves billowed as a torrent of pale green Dou Qi surged from his body, condensing into a massive shield before them.

The sweeping sea of blue flame merged with the shield's surface.

Boom!

The weakened fire serpents slammed violently into the shield.

Heaven and earth trembled from the impact.

The force behind the blow drove Han Feng and Yuan Yi backward despite their defense.

But—they had withstood it.

Both men smiled with relief.

But before that relief could take hold—

Cracks spread across the surface of the shield.

In the next moment, the shield shattered entirely under the pressure. A powerful shockwave of Dou Qi slammed into both men, sending them flying through the sky.

Blood sprayed from their mouths.

The massive flame serpents dissipated into the air.

Before they could recover—

A massive purple serpent tail swept through the air toward them.

Boom!

The two were sent flying like broken kites, crashing into the golden sands below.

Queen Medusa had fully revealed her serpent form. Her enormous purple eyes swept over them coldly before she turned to another direction.

While Queen Medusa unleashed her savage might—

Chen Mo was being pushed back by Fan Lao's assault.

Seeing the old man grow more confident by the second—

Chen Mo's eyes narrowed. He exhaled coldly:

"Great Sage Art, First Form: Demon Transformation!"

In an instant, his eyes turned crimson. His body expanded slightly, and his teeth elongated, protruding from his mouth.

At the same time, his aura surged.

From five-star Dou Ling—to eight-star Dou Ling!

"Let's see you handle that sword!"

Chen Mo drew Heart Demon once more.

Fan Lao's expression changed drastically.

Again?!

With a wave of his sleeve, a massive sea of blood surged outward. His figure quickly vanished within it.

Inside the blood sea, his aura intensified. A foul stench of blood filled the air as his strength surged rapidly.

"Blood Metamorphosis!"

His hands moved swiftly, and the blood sea roared. It rapidly shrank, condensing into strands of energy that surged into his body.

Fan Lao's cultivation instantly rose to four-star Dou Huang.

"Heaven-Cleaving Sword Draw!"
