“You will not be able to leave today.”

Mo Wen had no intention of letting the mayor of Muhong City escape. He knew that if he did not defeat the mayor today, it would be a more challenging task for him when he battled the mayor the next time. Mo Wen could not allow the mayor to have more time to make preparations.

“You can’t keep me here.” The mayor of Muhong City stared at Mo Wen with a cold gaze as he wiped away the blood in the corner of his mouth. The mayor had to admit that he had also been injured while he had been fighting with the youth earlier. This was not a battle where one of them could instantly kill the other party. Even if he could kill the youth in the end, he would most likely pay a high price.

“You can try,” Mo Wen said with a calm smile. His injuries were far more severe than the mayor of Muhong City. However, he did not show any signs of pain, appearing as if no injuries were sustained on his body.

The mayor couldn’t believe his ears, thinking he had just heard a big joke. He let out a derisive laugh. A Tide Changing Realm cultivator was actually threatening Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator and would not allow him to go? Was there anything more ridiculous than this?

“I want to see how you will keep me here.”

The mayor’s silhouette flickered, and six figures flew out at the same time. His silhouettes filled the skies, and these silhouettes began splitting again into many others. In this way, the skies started to be slowly covered in the silhouettes of the mayor of Muhong City.

Even a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator would not necessarily block such an advanced release technique, let alone a Tide Changing Realm cultivator. In a similar situation, many other people would still be in a daze and would certainly not be able to stop the mayor.

However, a beam of blue light flashed into the swarm of silhouettes. It caught up with one of the silhouettes in an instant before anyone could even see what was happening. In terms of speed, even the mayor of Muhong City was far inferior to Mo Wen.

Crash!

There was a loud bang following a massive collision, and a figure was knocked back into the multitude of silhouettes. The next moment, all of the silhouettes disappeared, leaving only six figures hovering in mid-air. The figure that was sent flying was none other than the original body of the mayor of Muhong City.

“You can see through my illusory figures release technique!” The mayor was astonished, and the expression on his face was now dark and furious. Even in his dreams, he would never have imagined that this youth would be able to see through his illusory figures release technique.

The illusory figures release technique was a type of release technique. Many cultivators would usually cultivate such release techniques for times they needed to escape from critical situations.

As a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator, the mayor of Muhong City naturally cultivated the illusory figures release technique to a high level of mastery. But, he could not imagine that even with such perfection of his release technique, Mo Wen had actually seen through it.

The mayor was now exasperated, and fear took hold as he saw the danger he was now in. He was no match for Mo Wen when it came to down flight speed. He was relying on his illusory figures release technique, but as it had proven to be ineffective, the situation instantly became untenable for him. Just as Mo Wen had said, if Mo Wen was not willing to let him go, he would indeed not be able to leave.

“Mo Wen, do you really think that I am unable to kill you? You are pushing me to do so.” The mayor of Muhong City glared grimly at Mo Wen. Even if he could kill this youth, the price that he would have to pay would undoubtedly be high. It could also possibly prove too much for the mayor to bear.

As such, the mayor had prepared to retreat first to safety and come up with a different strategy. However, right now, there seemed to be no other option for him. This youth was clearly prepared to fight him to death.

“I truly do not believe that you can kill me.” Mo Wen smiled calmly.

He kept the mayor of Muhong City here to determine a victor. If Mo Wen could not defeat him within a short time, he intended to slowly wear him out until he was tired out before going in for the kill. Mo Wen did not believe that the mayor could outlast him. Although such a move was not the most dignified of strategies, it was still an excellent method to employ if he could kill the mayor.

In the Immortal Cultivation world, there were very likely only a few people who would dare dream of wearing out a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator while they were only at the level of Tide Changing Realm levels. There was no one else like Mo Wen, and if others knew about his plan, they would undoubtedly take him to be a lunatic!
