The newcomer's voice boomed like thunder.
An overwhelming, ferocious aura enveloped the entire scene.
A palm print as vast and imposing as a mountain descended from the sky, crashing down towards Ji Mo and Wu Xiaoxiao.
"Hall Master, avenge us!"
Viper, who had been plunged into despair, shouted with excitement.
At the brink of death, seeing the Asura Hall Master appear in time, he was so thrilled that tears were about to stream down his face.
Viper's face was filled with venomous hatred, wishing for Ji Mo and Wu Xiaoxiao to meet a miserable end.
Wu Xiaoxiao's expression turned solemn. She unleashed another punch, striking the descending palm.
*Bang!*
A terrifying sonic wave echoed throughout the chaotic rock forest, as if the void itself had been shattered, revealing distorted cracks.
Furious energy surged in all directions, blasting away Yao Weiwei, Hua Tianxiang, who were still fighting, and the Fifth and Eighth Elders of the Asura Hall.
The Third Elder, already severely injured, suffered the most tragic fate. He did not die at Wu Xiaoxiao's hands but succumbed to the impact of this energy backlash, spitting blood as he perished.
The Asura Hall Master's actions were truly ruthless, showing no regard for the casualties among his subordinates.
The area where Wu Xiaoxiao stood sank by five to six meters, forming a deep pit.
Her lower legs were submerged in the soil.
Clearly, she had been at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Asura Hall Master.
As the dust settled, everyone looked towards the large pit, some with joy, others with panic.
"Cough, cough..."
Ji Mo coughed, brushing dust off his body with his hand.
He had been truly terrified just moments ago. Fortunately, his sister Xiaoxiao was powerful enough to block that giant palm; otherwise, he would likely have been flattened by a single blow.
Indeed, it was good to have a sister; having her by his side provided a great sense of security!
Viper, the Fifth Elder, and the Eighth Elder stared intently at Ji Mo, their eyeballs threatening to pop out.
After such an intense energy backlash, even the Third Elder couldn't endure it, yet Ji Mo was completely unharmed.
What was even more astonishing was that Ji Mo's feet were still planted firmly on the ground.
Even Wu Xiaoxiao's lower legs were buried in the earth, but he remained unaffected. It was simply incredible!
The Asura Hall Master's figure appeared, landing on a small peak not far away.
His gaze lingered on Ji Mo, his eyes flickering.
A mortal?
No, if he were truly a mortal, he would have likely been reduced to pulp by the residual power of that palm strike.
Could it be, as Du Juan had said, that this person was indeed a reclusive master?
A hint of solemnity entered the Asura Hall Master's eyes, but it quickly vanished.
He had been lurking in the Xuanling Realm for so many years and had never heard of a powerful figure named Ji Mo. This Ji Mo must possess a special physique, which caused him to appear so extraordinary.
"You are Ji Mo? Did you help Hei Meigui awaken her Star Radiance Sacred Body? Hand over the secret to awakening special physiques, and I can show great mercy and spare your life."
The Asura Hall Master threatened.
"What secret to awakening special physiques? I don't understand what you're talking about. Hand over Hei Meigui quickly, or I won't be polite."
Ji Mo was bewildered, his only concern being Hei Meigui's safety.
The Asura Hall Master said coldly, "Ji Mo, stop playing dumb. Be sensible and submit. Otherwise, not only will you die, but Hei Meigui and these few beauties of yours present will not survive either."
Upon hearing this, Ji Mo's eyes narrowed, his gaze filled with killing intent.
How dare they touch his people? He would never let this scoundrel off the hook.
"Hahaha, are you furious but powerless? I will kill these two right before your eyes."
The Asura Hall Master laughed maniacally, soaring into the air and lunging directly at Yao Weiwei and Hua Tianxiang.
"Xiaoxiao, stop this scoundrel."
Ji Mo said urgently, quickly asking Wu Xiaoxiao to intercept.
Wu Xiaoxiao moved like a startled swan, soaring into the sky and darting towards the Asura Hall Master.
The Asura Hall Master revealed a triumphant smirk. With a series of palm strikes, he repelled Wu Xiaoxiao.
Then, he shifted his position repeatedly, instantly appearing before Ji Mo and grabbing him by the collar.
It turned out to be his scheme: to lure Wu Xiaoxiao away and then deal with Ji Mo.
"Foolish, I tricked you with a simple ploy. Now you've finally fallen into my hands."
The Asura Hall Master laughed triumphantly.
He hadn't expected to capture Ji Mo so smoothly; it was truly a delightful surprise.
However, even though Ji Mo was captured, he showed no fear and inexplicably asked, "Are you male?"
The Asura Hall Master nodded blankly, then felt a faint sense of unease.
"It's good that you're male!"
A sinister smile crept onto Ji Mo's lips.
Then, without warning, he lifted his leg and fiercely kicked the Asura Hall Master in the groin.
The Asura Hall Master's eyes held a dismissive smile. The thought of using such a low-class trick to ambush him was laughable.
Not only did his protective spiritual energy withstand attacks below the Emperor Realm, but his 'little brother' also had a layer of shell protection, rendering him immune to such attacks.
However.
The next second.
The Asura Hall Master's smile instantly froze. His pupils dilated, and he clutched his crotch, doubling over like a shrimp, gasping for air.
It seemed he heard the sound of his lineage being shattered.
Ji Mo's kick hit its mark precisely, instantly shattering the Asura Hall Master's protective spiritual energy and shell, directly striking his 'little brother'.
Viper, the Fifth Elder, and the Eighth Elder instinctively squeezed their legs together, their faces filled with terror.
As men, they naturally understood that indescribable pain.
It was over. The Hall Master's attempt to trick Ji Mo had backfired, and he had been outmaneuvered by this insidious villain.
"Heh, you're the foolish one. Daring to get so close to me. Didn't you expect my 'leg of eternal bachelorhood' to have reached the pinnacle of perfection?"
Ji Mo showed no mercy. Adhering to the principle of striking while the iron is hot, he raised two fingers and unhesitatingly thrust them towards the Asura Hall Master's eyes.
Since the opponent had attacked without honor, he had nothing to hold back.
In close-quarters combat, Ji Mo had never feared anyone!
"Ah..."
Blood streamed from the Asura Hall Master's eyes as he let out a piercing scream, his voice as desolate as a duck with its neck squeezed.
Having navigated life for so long, he never imagined he would one day fall victim to such a move.
*Crack!*
His mask was covered in cracks and shattered.
Viper and the others were utterly shocked!
The Asura Mask was a dream-like artifact, difficult to damage even by Emperor weapons, yet it was now pulverized by just two fingers.
Just what terrifying power did Ji Mo's fingers contain!
Then, something even more terrifying happened.
As the mask shattered, the Asura Hall Master's true face was revealed.
Simultaneously, an evil aura filled with bloodlust and destruction permeated the surroundings.
A wave of gasps echoed across the scene.
Because what they saw was not a human face at all.
"Demon!"
Seeing the Asura Hall Master engulfed in rolling demonic energy, everyone present was utterly stunned.
No one had expected the Asura Hall Master's true identity to be a demon.
