Xuanyuan Chen stood in place, completely dumbfounded. "How is this possible?"
"I told you, ants are ants, and you, you're not even worthy to be an ant!"
Lin Mo snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain, as he slightly raised his palm and rapidly brought it down with an overwhelming suppression, like a fierce wind and towering waves.
In an instant, sand flew and rocks tumbled, Lin Mo's gaze cold and detached as he blandly ordered Xuanyuan Chen, "Kneel!"
Seeing this scene, Chu Beixiong's expression darkened a shade, wanting to intervene but utterly unable to.
Thud!
As soon as Lin Mo's words fell, Xuanyuan Chen's knees abruptly bent, as if crushed by the weight of ten thousand jin, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground. The earth beneath him cracked as if struck by the Nine Heavens Hammer, his knees instantly smeared in blood.
Lin Mo looked down at Xuanyuan Chen as one would at an ant, his eyes brimming with indifference.
Xuanyuan Chen's face, however, underwent a drastic change. He could not care less about his nearly shattered knees and instead cried out in terror to Chu Beixiong:
"Uncle Chu, save me!! Quick!"
Lin Mo glanced at him as if looking down on an ant. "Not even God could save you now," Lin Mo declared.
Chu Beixiong's countenance shifted to alarm and, taking a sudden step forward, he rushed toward Lin Mo, shouting gravely, "Stop! You must not harm him, otherwise, tonight, I will kill you!"
Chu Beixiong's voice carried a fury and a supreme suppression that would have terrified any ordinary person.
Yet, Lin Mo remained unmoved, his face calm as water, he coldly huffed, "I kill whomever I, Lin Mo, wish to kill. Your threats are useless against me."
With those words, Lin Mo slightly lifted his palm and pressed it towards Xuanyuan Chen's head.
"Damn it!! Stop!!"
Chu Beixiong's eyes nearly split with rage, his fury reaching extreme levels. If Xuanyuan Chen died in front of him, he would definitely have trouble explaining to the Family Head of the Xuanyuan Family.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Chen must not die.
"Spare me... Lin Mo, I beg you, spare me!!" Xuanyuan Chen finally understood what the fear of death was.
"Save that for when you're in hell," Lin Mo said indifferently, as if oblivious, and relentlessly brought down his palm.
Boom!!
A sound akin to an armored vehicle exploding resonated, and everyone's pupils dilated, watching as Xuanyuan Chen's head burst like a watermelon smashed by a fist, brains and blood scattering in all directions, dead beyond doubt.
Everyone was terrified.
Xuanyuan Chen, the eldest son of the Xuanyuan Family, treated like a prince there, and now, Lin Mo had just killed him so casually.
This was sheer audacity to the extreme.
As for Chu Beixiong, he stood frozen in place, his face seething with an unprecedented rage and killing intent.
He was not only angry that Lin Mo had killed Xuanyuan Chen but was even more furiously agitated that Lin Mo did so right in front of him.
He was Chu Beixiong, ranked third on the Emperor List, a peerless powerhouse. Should this get out, it would be the world's most outrageous joke.
"You actually dared to kill him!"
Chu Beixiong spoke almost word by word, his gaze icy as if it could kill.
Lin Mo casually gave him a look, his eyes cold and serene: "If you can't accept it, you can go down and accompany him."
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
Chu Beixiong laughed coldly in succession, his long hair fluttering without wind, as if a Demon God had descended, the killing intent he radiated palpable to all.
Xuanyuan Changfeng, the protector of the Xuanyuan Family standing behind Chu Beixiong, already had a complexion dark as water: "You dare to kill our Xuanyuan Family's future heir, you shall be executed!"
As those words fell, Xuanyuan Changfeng burst with an overwhelming aura and then fiercely charged at Lin Mo.
In his hands appeared a longsword that soared like a rainbow piercing the sun, carrying utmost power as it swung toward Lin Mo in a ferocious slash.
Boom!
For a moment, the entire space seemed as if it was cleft in twain by the sword light, his strike tearing through space and rolling towards Lin Mo, as though it aimed to split Lin Mo's body in half.
"So eager to die? I shall oblige!"
Lin Mo's gaze remained cold, and with a slight step, he flashed towards Xuanyuan Changfeng. His fist wind was like an annihilation punch, shaking the entire estate.
Bang!
A single punch made Xuanyuan Changfeng feel as though his blood was violently churning and his internal organs nearly shattered.
"Damn it, how is he so strong? Run!"
Xuanyuan Changfeng's face paled, and he turned to flee. However, before he could even take a step, Lin Mo reached out with a great grab.
In an instant, Xuanyuan Changfeng felt his whole body not under his control, harshly sucked back by Lin Mo's palm suppression.
"Don't... Don't kill me!!"
Xuanyuan Changfeng, his face a picture of extreme terror, could never have imagined that such a young lad could possess strength that defied the heavens.
"You say don't kill you, and I just don't kill you? Wouldn't that make me look bad?"
Lin Mo's expression was indifferent as he simply raised his hand and slapped toward Xuanyuan Changfeng's body. Xuanyuan Changfeng's face twisted in horror, trying to escape, but completely unable to dodge.
The next second, his body was smashed into mush by the wind from Lin Mo's palm.
Everyone was utterly dumbfounded. They had not expected that Lin Mo would kill the guardian of the Xuanyuan Family as easily as if he were drinking water or eating.
Lin Mo's gaze swept toward Chu Beixiong, his tone cold as he said, "What's the matter? You're not going to scram?"
"Scram? Boy, you killed Xuanyuan Chen and Xuanyuan Changfeng, and you expect me to leave without an explanation? Do you really think I, Chu Beixiong, am just a name with no substance?" Chu Beixiong snorted coldly, his aura suddenly bursting forth, so oppressive that numerous people didn't dare to breathe.
If Chu Beixiong were to leave so easily, how would he face others when word of this got out?
So, no matter what, he must have Lin Mo give an explanation that satisfied him.
"An explanation? Do you think you're worthy?"
Lin Mo looked at him with a cold expression, his tone leaving no room for negotiation, domineering to the extreme: "Scram, or die."
"You're too arrogant."
Chu Beixiong's voice was like ice, his Martial Venerate's aura crushing all, roaring louder and louder, some people were even forced to their knees by this force.
Chu Beixiong could feel that Lin Mo's strength was not low, and even possibly on par with his own – the realm of a Martial Venerate.
However, within Martial Venerates, there are distinctions between Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced levels.
Chu Beixiong was an Intermediate Martial Venerate, and even if Lin Mo were an Advanced-level martial Venerable, when it came to battle experience and martial power, Chu Beixiong felt he naturally held the upper hand.
Moreover, he had already been a Basic-level Martial Venerable ten years ago, and after traveling all over Jiangnan, he was deeply obsessed with Martial Arts, so his cultivation had not only been maintained but had also become stronger.
"Kill!"
Chu Beixiong snorted coldly and took a step forward. The earth and sky suddenly trembled. The next second, his aura soared like a skyscraper piercing the heavens, like a raging storm, rushing toward Lin Mo to kill.
Seeing this scene, Lin Mo's eyes remained indifferent, with no ripple of emotion. Then, with a light step, the entire estate seemed to shake, on the verge of collapsing.
Boom!
That punch by Chu Beixiong, when it met the Gang Qi from Lin Mo's step, caused the surrounding dust to fly and the walls to collapse.
If the steel reinforcement and pillars hadn't been strong enough, the whole estate might have collapsed.
Chu Beixiong took three or four steps back to stabilize himself, a look of shock on his face: "How can you be so strong? Impossible! Even if you've been cultivating from the womb, you couldn't have the upper hand to such a degree."
"Nothing is impossible. Show me your ultimate move, or else, you can die," Lin Mo said airily, looking at Chu Beixiong as if he were looking at an ant.
"You will die!"
"Supreme Overlord!"
Chu Beixiong, fueled by extreme anger, shouted loudly. In an instant, his fist forcefully smashed toward Lin Mo. The punch was mighty, like a day in the Nine Heavens, carrying a force that could destroy everything, aimed to execute Lin Mo.
Upon witnessing this scene, the countless onlookers were already petrified.
Boom!!
In a moment, the entire estate was reduced to rubble. Centered on Chu Beixiong, the shockwave blasted outward, instantly sending numerous people flying. If these hadn't all been promising youths, they would have died on the spot.
As for Wu Yifan and the three others, standing behind Lin Mo, Lin Mo's eyes slightly lifted, and then, an invisible Gang Qi enveloped Ma Bo, Wu Yifan, and the others.
The next second, Lin Mo, too, raised his fist, his voice as indifferent as a passing cloud: "Rumor has it your 'Supreme Overlord' punch is your most powerful strike. In my eyes, it's nothing much. I, kill you as easily as crushing an ant!"
Boom!!!
In an instant, the two fists collided, and the remaining walls were demolished into dust; the plants and trees as if they endured the apocalypse.
What no one expected was that Lin Mo's punch directly shattered Chu Beixiong's 'Supreme Overlord', and then, the force of the punch, undiminished like a meteor, struck Chu Beixiong's chest.
"No!!!"
Chu Beixiong's eyes widened in ultimate terror.
Thud!!
That punch pierced through Chu Beixiong's entire chest, a massive hole clear through his back, and up until death, Chu Beixiong's eyes remained wide open, his stiff body crashing to the ground with a thud.
Everyone was completely stunned, their eyes filled with fright.
They were both Martial Venerates, yet why was Lin Mo so strong?
(The excitement continues tomorrow, feel free to follow.)
