Arrogant, the young elites present felt that Lin Mo was simply outrageously arrogant.
Yet, Lin Mo's aura seemed so naturally imposing, his domineering bearing left them incredibly envious.
Especially that feeling of looking down on all beings, even Lin Dong, Zhu Mozi, and Du Kong seemed somewhat inferior.
In the same second, Du Kong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in an icy tone, "Kid, don't assume there's no one in the world who can deal with you. That last strike was merely a probe. Now, watch closely!"
Having said that, Du Kong's gaze turned frosty, and the golden Buddha Beads around his neck flew up as if summoned.
Shua shua shua!
The next second, the golden Buddha Beads spun rapidly, and in an instant, the world changed color, and dust and pebbles flew about, stripping all the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees of their vitality.
The ground seemed to have endured a level-ten tornado, blasting out countless deep pits.
In an instant, the storm created by the golden Buddha Beads became like a cage, completely enveloping the space around Lin Mo and binding him within it.
Lin Dong and Zhu Mozi showed no intention of intervening; they were merely observing from the sidelines, partly to enjoy the spectacle, and partly to assess just how strong Lin Mo really was.
Seeing Du Kong take action and cause the sky to change color.
The young elites' eyes sparkled with excitement:
"No wonder Master Du Kong is a Half-step Martial Emperor; with one move, he shakes the earth and covers half the sky. I think it's going to be tough for that arrogant Lin Mo to take this next move!"
"It would be good if he died. If he lives, we may have to spend our lives overshadowed by him."
"That's right. With such strong capabilities and such heaven-defying talent, we can only hope to catch up in this lifetime."
"He will definitely die under Master Du Kong's move!"
At the same time, the golden Buddha Beads, like a grinding machine, shattered all space, and a heaven-suppressing murderous intention pressed directly towards Lin Mo.
"Break!"
Just as the heaven-suppressing killing intent was about to arrive, Lin Mo coldly shouted, his palm slightly raised—even without using a Handprint, he simply blocked it.
Seemingly nonchalant, the palm he held in front of his chest seemed to roil with the authority of heaven and earth.
Bang bang bang!
Thunder-like sounds erupted, and the golden Buddha Beads exploded, their power dissipating everything, crumbling into dust beneath Lin Mo's palm.
Du Kong's expression turned to one of fear: "How can you be so strong!!"
Boom!
Before he could finish speaking, that shocking and terrifying force shook his body as if hit by several bombs.
When he finally landed again, his body was drenched in blood, a sight too horrible to endure.
"Master!!"
The few remaining disciples beside Du Kong all rushed to his side in unison.
Everyone was shocked once again, Lin Mo's strength somewhat exceeded their expectations.
They had clearly felt that Du Kong had used at least seventy percent of his strength, yet not only did it fail to hurt Lin Mo, but he had also been severely injured by the recoil!
Lin Mo, with his hands behind his back and an indifferent look in his eyes, walked towards Du Kong step by step: "Trash will always be trash. I thought you were quite strong, but to think you're half-dead after just a couple of moves."
"Lin Mo, you are indeed monstrously talented and strong. Such talent would be considered a rare genius in any Sect. However, you lack subtlety."
"All of you, attack him! Hold down this brat. I want to use my Secret Technique, kill this kid!"
Du Kong shouted at the disciples beside him, his eyes taking on a ferocious look.
Hearing this, the disciples' faces showed difficulty, but clenching their teeth and with faces full of killing intent, they charged towards Lin Mo.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! Each of them raised their fists, aiming to crush Lin Mo with their punches.
However, Lin Mo didn't even glance at them. His eyes were slightly chilly as the invisible Gang Qi blasted them away, shaking them to death on the spot.
Seeing this scene, Du Kong's expression changed drastically. He roared unwillingly,
"Lin Mo, if you have the guts, give me a chance to unleash my killing technique, and I'll certainly kill you!"
Those present felt that Lin Mo wouldn't likely give Du Kong this opportunity.
After all, Du Kong's killing technique was something with the mighty power to vanquish everything.
However, against all expectations, Lin Mo's expression was indifferent as he crossed his arms and let out a scornful laugh, saying, "Even if I gave you the chance, you'd still be nothing but trash."
Seeing Lin Mo stop in his tracks, Du Kong's expression twisted with excitement, "Hahaha... Boy, it's you who are giving me this chance!! Don't regret it!"
With that, Du Kong reached out with one hand, and countless thunder flashes flickered, the winds and clouds transformed drastically. In an instant, the combined forces of wind, rain, thunder, and fire shattered the entire space.
At this sight, many were filled with shock:
"Has Du Kong become an Immortal?"
"He can actually connect with nature!"
"God, Du Kong is too powerful."
"That's great, this kid is probably not going to make it now."
Lin Mo stood with his hands behind his back, his expression one of disdain. Du Kong must have used some secret technique to harness several natural elements, but when it came to becoming immortal, Du Kong was light-years away from it.
"Lin Mo, you brat, prepare to die!"
Du Kong shouted, his face twisted with a ferocious pleasure. As he finished, the elemental storm he summoned oppressed the heavens and the earth, instantly obliterating everything in its path.
All was blasted into nothingness!
Many around them grew excited. Du Kong's technique was so powerful; surely, it was more than enough to kill Lin Mo, right?
Lin Mo remained standing in place, his face showing none of the panic one might expect, but instead he spoke with his usual indifference: "Like I said, trash is trash. Even if I let you cultivate for decades more, you'd still be trash. To me, slaughtering you is like crushing ants!"
After finishing,
Lin Mo raised his hand, causing the sky itself to tear open a rift as the Nine Thunders descended.
Nine bolts of thunder, like pillars that reached the heavens, suppressed everything.
The elemental storm summoned by Du Kong, faced with the might of the Nine Thunders, scattered like mere mortals before a Heavenly God, instantly forced to flee in all directions.
Those elements were crushed to dust in an instant, left with no chance of escape.
"Pfft!!"
Du Kong spat out a mouthful of blood in anger from Lin Mo's move, his eyes filled with extreme unwillingness: "If the heavens have created you, why then did they create me, Du Kong?! I refuse to accept this!"
"Not accepting it? Then go discuss it slowly with King Yan in Hell!"
Lin Mo's expression was cold, his fist raised slightly, and with one punch, Du Kong's body was sent flying into the sky. His body soared a hundred meters high, and in an instant, it exploded like a mushroom cloud, with Blood Fog spreading across the vast expanse of the sky.
Witnessing this scene, the legs of the young and strong began to tremble.
Lin Mo's strength was beyond their imagination.
Lin Dong and Zhu Mozi's expressions also darkened somewhat as they said solemnly,
"Everyone, don't panic! Even if this child is terrifyingly powerful, we can still slay him if we join forces."
"Anyone who dares to retreat even half a step will be shown no mercy!"
