Lin Mo chuckled coldly and said, "You're nothing but trash, killing you is no more difficult than slaughtering a dog!"
"Heh, let's see the truth in our moves then, arrogant fool!"
As the words fell, Ling Wuchen suddenly roared and vanished from where he stood, reappearing in an instant before Lin Mo.
He threw a fierce punch toward Lin Mo, shattering the air completely, causing sand and rocks to whirl around in the immediate area creating a terrifying scene.
However, Lin Mo easily dodged with a flash.
Witnessing this, Ling Wuchen burst into a smug laughter, "Hahaha... Boy, you're so afraid of death, I thought you were something special."
Lin Mo remained indifferent, as if looking at a mere ant, his voice coldly detached, "You think I dodged your punch because I'm afraid of you? It's just that your punch is so pathetic that it's not worth catching."
"What did you say!!"
Ling Wuchen's face turned furious, a murderous intent spread across it completely.
"Destructive Heaven Fist!"
Ling Wuchen roared angrily. This punch was unlike any before, seemingly changing the color of the heavens and earth, instantly sealing off the entire space around Lin Mo.
This punch, true to its name, seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth, exploding numerous giant holes where it impacted, and not just that, the walls beside Lin Mo were annihilated to flat ground.
Seeing this, the Ling Family Matriarch's face flushed with excitement, "That's my son, truly powerful, Lin Mo, you're about to check in to Hell."
However, no sooner had she finished her sentence that she saw Lin Mo casually raise his hand, his palm print seemed able to extinguish everything, directly shattering Ling Wuchen's overpowering energy wave into pieces.
"How... how is this possible?" The Ling Family Matriarch was utterly shocked, her eyes wide open.
Ling Wuchen's face turned extremely unsightly, without any hesitation, he hurled dozens of punches toward Lin Mo's position all at once.
Those punch marks coalesced into a massive attack of punch light, raining down upon Lin Mo with more than ten times the strength of his previous attack!
Lin Mo simply snorted, his expression indifferent, then again, he struck out with his palm, effortlessly crushing it.
The surrounding trees were blasted apart by the colliding forces.
A hideous and bitter expression crept onto Ling Wuchen's face:
"Boy, I never imagined that your strength would defy the heavens to such an extent. You're the first to force me, Ling Wuchen, to use my ultimate move!"
With that said, Ling Wuchen's aura suddenly surged like a Demon God descending, his fist raised boldly, splitting the clouds in the sky clean in two.
"This punch is named Haoyu Fist, and even an Intermediate Martial Venerate cannot catch it. Today, I will use it to kill you, and dying by my Haoyu Fist is an honor for you."
As he finished speaking, one could see around Ling Wuchen, as if enveloped by dozens of Heavenly Yangs, glimmering with golden, dazzling brilliance, his momentum as if it could obliterate everything.
"Is that your ultimate move? It's too pathetic!"
However, Lin Mo snorted coldly, a mocking smile curving on his lips. Suddenly, the aura around him kept climbing higher and higher.
In an instant, Ling Wuchen's eyes filled with horror, "You... you're a High-level Martial Venerable?"
God, a High-level Martial Venerable, how old is this guy? Seventeen or eighteen years old?!
Ling Wuchen felt like he was going to spit blood, but his ultimate move was already fully charged, and if he didn't fight to the end, he probably wouldn't stand the slightest chance.
"Kill!"
Ling Wuchen expelled the word, shaking heaven and earth, as if all of creation was enveloped in his power, a storm carrying the might to destroy everything blasted toward Lin Mo.
"Not even worth one blow!"
Lin Mo snorted coldly, his palm slightly raised, the imposing aura of heaven and earth surged abruptly, and countless howling forces crushed towards Ling Wuchen's punch.
Boom!!
Under the impact of the handprint, Ling Wuchen's punch disintegrated into nothing. His expression turned to one of terror; after all, he was an Intermediate Martial Venerate, several times stronger than his own father, yet against a single palm from Lin Mo, his ultimate move didn't hold an ounce of power.
The endless suppression emanating from Lin Mo enveloped Ling Wuchen, who felt an overwhelming pressure, as if Taishan mountain bore down upon him, sending him uncontrollably to his knees, his face stricken with boundless fear:
"Lin Mo, spare me! I swear I'll never seek revenge against you!"
"You think you're in a position to negotiate terms with me?"
Lin Mo's expression remained detached, as he looked down at Ling Wuchen.
"Please, just let me go... I beg you."
Ling Wuchen wailed miserably, filled with utmost regret. He truly didn't want to die—after all, it had taken him over a decade to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Now, with just a single thought from Lin Mo, all his achievements could turn to dust.
"Spare you? Having someone like you as a Guardian is a disgrace to Huaxia."
Lin Mo's eyes were ice-cold, devoid of emotion, as he lifted his palm, and in an instant, Ling Wuchen's body was blasted into debris.
Lin Mo had not an iota of sympathy for Ling Wuchen.
"My son!!"
The Ling Family Matriarch howled towards the sky, burning with a desire to tear Lin Mo into pieces: "Lin Mo, you beast, for killing my son, I will fight you to the death."
As she charged towards Lin Mo, he merely lifted his hand slightly, and she was sent flying out, smashing into a pillar and turning into a pile of flesh.
Boom!
As soon as Lin Mo left the Ling Family's grounds, in a blink, the entire area around the Ling Family's villa turned into nothingness, all the corpses of the Ling Family buried beneath the ground.
To Lin Mo, these people were not worth mourning over.
If it weren't for his own strength, then the fate now befalling the Ling Family might have been his own.
Therefore, Lin Mo felt no pity.
...
By the time Lin Mo returned to Yuanjin Villa, it was almost midnight.
Seeing the corpses outside the villa, Lin Mo frowned slightly, then with a light raise of his hand, he reduced the bodies to ashes.
When Lin Mo entered the villa and opened the door, he found Xia Mengdie sitting on the sofa, watching TV.
"Mo, you're back?"
Lin Mo nodded, his eyes betraying a touch of emotion: "You've been waiting here for me all this time?"
"I was worried since you hadn't come back, so I waited here for you."
"Silly girl, let's go to bed."
With those words, Lin Mo lifted Xia Mengdie's tender body into his arms, then very gently placed her on the bed and turned off the light.
Lin Mo held Xia Mengdie in his arms, his mind clear of all else. They fell into a peaceful sleep, for tomorrow was the day to obliterate the Murong Family.
