"Damn it! How dare you?" Hou Dongjun trembled all over, his eyes seeming to spew out intense flames.
"You dare to kill my son right in front of me, I'll flay and dismember you, shatter your soul, and ensure you never reincarnate!" And Hou Hexuan was equally furious, his hand already channeling Martial Power. Suddenly, a fire snake burst forth from his palm, accompanied by fierce flames, attacking swiftly.
Lin Mo stared coldly at him, his voice indifferent, "Anyone who dares to insult Lin Mo only has one way forward—death."
Having said that, Lin Mo slightly opened his hand, like a blue whale sipping water, absorbing all the incoming flames. The flames surged in his palm, shocking everyone around who stepped back in fear.
Hou Hexuan was especially astonished. The Hou Family's Fire Control Technique he wielded was exquisite, and this fire snake, over ten meters long, could instantly kill a Peak Martial Emperor, yet it was effortlessly absorbed by Lin Mo's hand! It was just like a monster!
"Whoosh!"
Lin Mo's palm opened again, a long flame emerged, as if to burn the void. Several nearby members of the Hou Family were touched by the great fire and instantly caught fire. Their bodies were directly penetrated by flames, dying extremely miserably!
While Hou Hexuan was stunned, he couldn't react quickly enough to cast a spell to block the flames. The sparks danced in his pupils, rendering him as statuesque as a wooden chicken, sensing the aroma of death.
"Impudent boy," Hou Dongjun shouted, a wave of invisible Gang Qi emerging in front of Hou Hexuan, forming a golden barrier blocking the flames. However, in an instant, the Gang Qi Barrier turned to dust and floated away.
Hou Hexuan was so frightened that he fell on his butt, drenched in sweat. If Hou Dongjun's Gang Qi Barrier had been a second late, he might have turned into a fireman.
No one in the venue dared to underestimate Lin Mo anymore; strength dictated everything. The casual manipulation of flames was enough evidence of Lin Mo's extraordinary capability.
But Lin Mo was incredibly young, and along with a powerful maid by his side, everyone secretly clicked their tongues. Could these two be disciples from some super sect wandering the secular world?
Otherwise, how could they possess such terrifying cultivations at their age?
Worthy of being a person who'd lived through decades and controlled the Hou Family's power, Mr. Lin's expression slightly darkened as he coldly demanded, "Mr. Lin, may I know which sect or school you come from? By killing my grandson in public, do you not regard the Hou Family at all?"
His inquiry was merely to discern Lin Mo's background; provoking a super clan would only bring disaster to the entire Hou Family. In the face of family interests, the death of one was trivial.
"No sect, no school—grandpa has always been a lone wanderer!" Lin Mo's expression remained indifferent.
Hearing Lin Mo's reply, the last trace of concern in Hou Dongjun's eyes completely vanished. Without any backing from significant figures, Lin Mo was no longer someone to be feared.
"You think you're a demonic genius, do you? But a murdered genius is no longer a genius," said Hou Dongjun, his eyes cold. With that, he violently swung his hands and hundreds of Blood Vicious Sword Qi materialized out of thin air.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
"Sword Array kill!" As the words left Hou Dongjun's mouth, the hundred Blood Vicious Swords buzzed and shot straight into the sky.
The Tan Family members hurriedly retreated several tens of meters. Tan Songtao watched the sky, astonished, saying, "Who would have thought that Hou Dongjun really cultivated the Blood Qi Sword Formation!"
The Blood Qi Sword Formation, legend says, is one of the strongest offensive spells of the Hou Family. A couple of years ago, someone forcefully intruded into the Hou Family and was killed by Hou Dongjun using seventy-eight Blood Vicious Sword Qi. In just two short years, Hou Dongjun had already mastered a hundred Blood Vicious Sword Qi, it was indeed terrifying.
The Blood Vicious Sword Qi instantly transformed into a myriad of flying meteors, attacking Lin Mo from all directions.
"Master sent me," Yingzi jingled the bell on her wrist, and a two-foot-long Nine Heavens Sword in purplish-green appeared in her hand, casting shimmering lights in front of Lin Mo.
Yingzi's delicate hands, fair as snow, waved the treasure sword, sending streaks of sword light slashing out.
"Nine Heavens Sword Technique, Broken Sword Style!"
Yingzi's figure was like a light breeze, the purplish-green light from the Nine Heavens Sword she wielded shattered the oncoming Blood Vicious Sword Qi of the Upper Bai Path.
Members of the Tan Family nearby were already dumbstruck.
Elder Liao was so shocked that he was lost for words, and Liao Wen opened her mouth wide in disbelief, not expecting that the young expert from Jiangzhou and his maid were both so formidable.
After countering thirty Flying Swords, Yingzi gradually began to falter; after all, this was a spell from a Basic-level Martial God. However, given Yingzi's realm, her performance was already monstrously impressive.
Lin Mo looked on indifferently and threw a casual punch. It shook several spaces at once, and a wave of invisible air ripples dispersed, shattering the remaining Blood Vicious Sword Qi and effortlessly breaking the Blood Kill Sword Formation.
Hou Dongjun staggered backward in shock, his face terror-stricken as he gazed at Lin Mo, his heart pounding, "Could this guy have obtained some incredible cultivation technique? How is he so powerful?"
Both the Hou and Tan Family members watched Lin Mo in shock, his easy shattering of the Blood Vicious Sword Qi Killing Array far exceeded their imagination.
Just then, a hearty laugh suddenly echoed from the entrance, "Old Hou, you got here before me?"
A group of people walked in; they were from another magic-casting family, the He Family, led by an old man with the strength of a Basic-level Martial God called He Hongmiao.
Following him were a middle-aged man, the Clan Leader of the He Family, and He Qiang, a young man with remarkable strength.
As soon as He Hongmiao finished speaking, he saw Hou Dongjun with a flushed face in a disheveled condition, and a headless corpse on the ground, with Hou Hexuan sitting there in disarray.
"He Jun?" He Qiang, seeing the body decapitated, turned extremely pale.
Just yesterday, he had been out on the town with He Jun, and now he saw He Jun brutally killed. With the presence of the elder and family head of the Hou Family, who dared to kill him?
When Hou Dongjun saw He Hongmiao arrive, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and spoke with a heavy voice, "Why have you only just arrived? We've gotten into big trouble now!"
He Hongmiao narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing some danger as he looked at Lin Mo, "Is this the young expert from Jiangzhou that the Tan Family brought in? Are you saying even you can't match him?"
"His strength is significant, I don't know if he possesses some powerful cultivation technique," Hou Dongjun's gaze flickered.
"Powerful cultivation technique?"
Greed flickered in He Hongmiao's eyes; for those like him who had reached the Martial God Realm, they pursued higher levels and realms, and treasures and cultivation techniques were greatly attractive to them.
"The Great Sacrificial Rite of the Black Witch Clan is coming soon, and with the three of us joining hands, this kid is no match," He Hongmiao's eyes sparkled as he coldly smirked at Lin Mo.
However, the faces of the Tan Family members paled. The He and Hou families were already enough of a headache, and with the Black Witch Clan added into the mix, they were undoubtedly going from bad to worse, trapped in a situation with no escape.
