"Die, boy!"
Cai Yuan suddenly let out a roar like a fierce beast from ancient times, his fist crossing dozens of spaces. He launched a punch through the air, and the enormous True Qi transformed into a fist mark roughly seventy to eighty zhang long. The snow piled on the ground was swept up into a sky-high trail of Fist Wind, with snowflakes flying and bursting in all directions.
Lin Mo's eyes emitted a cold light as he threw out a punch simultaneously.
When the two Fist Powers collided, they immediately produced a sound as loud as a cannonball exploding, with the explosion center spreading out like a cloud ring ten thousand meters wide.
"Indeed, heroes emerge from the youth," Bai Gu Cheng said, watching Lin Mo stand unshakeably, his gaze sharp.
Cai Yuan had already doubled his Combat Power, and this punch was even more earth-shattering. As it burst forth, Lin Mo still managed to block it with seeming ease.
"Both of you, come at me," Lin Mo said with a battle-ready look in his eyes as he spoke indifferently to Bai Gu Cheng and Cai Yuan.
Cai Yuan gave up on using Martial Arts True Qi and instead gathered the True Qi within his body, charging towards Lin Mo like a chaotic War God. He left behind a series of afterimages, his speed even reaching a subsonic state.
Cai Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, like a frenzied wild beast, attacking with only his fists and feet. Each punch and kick seemed to carry the force of tens of thousands of catties, and if they hit an Intermediate Martial Emperor, it probably would have exploded with one punch!
Lin Mo looked at his opponent with cold indifference, choosing to engage in a straightforward hand-to-hand battle without using any Spiritual Energy, striking with just the strength of his flesh.
With every punch and every kick the two of them landed on each other, they produced the thunderous roar of tigers and leopards, as if the space itself were bursting apart. The surrounding snow flew wildly, leaving countless transparent Punch Marks and whip traces.
"Boy, I'm joining the battle too!" Bai Gu Cheng knew that Cai Yuan, having burned his Essence Blood, could endure for at most three minutes. If he didn't subdue Lin Mo quickly, he would be in danger when facing Lin Mo himself.
As he spoke, Bai Gu Cheng clasped his hands to Sealing, dragging a piece of White Jade in his hands, the Void trembled: "Heavenly Thunder Strike!"
All of a sudden, clouds gathered in the high sky, ten thousand meters up, accompanied by flashing Thunder and roaring like angered dragons in the sky.
"Is this... could this be Ancestor Bai's immortal technique?"
"How terrifying, hurry and dodge!"
As everyone saw the thousand-mile clouds converge in the sky, they were frightened into retreating further back. With a rumbling sound, hundreds of strands of Thunder descended from the clouds, each about as thick as an arm. Their golden-yellow light and thunderous force were almost blinding to the eye.
The more Cai Yuan fought, the more alarmed he became. His strength had doubled, but he was still completely unable to gain the upper hand. Moreover, by using this blood-tainted technique, his body began to show signs of strain, with fine wounds cracking open on his skin. If this continued, he would inevitably be unable to hold on.
"Boom."
Just then, streaks of Thunder, like descending Thunder Dragons, struck Lin Mo directly, immediately producing an explosive sound that filled the sky.
"Brother Mo…" Chen Guhui's large, round eyes widened in shock as she nervously clutched her brother Chen Junyang's clothes, her little face full of worry.
"Brother Mo!" Chen Junyang was also stunned. That was hundreds of bolts of Thunder, and being struck by such terrifying Thunder, even the strongest would likely turn to ash.
However, the Thunder Bai Gu Cheng had summoned, with his strength as a Basic-level Martial God, invoked the Power of thunder and lightning between heaven and earth, and its force was incomparably stronger.
"How is this possible?"
When the crowd looked again, Lin Mo was still standing in his original spot unharmed, with only a bit of dust on his body, not showing any signs of injury.
Bai Gu Cheng's gaze furrowed, his voice grave as he said, "As expected, he's not that easy to kill off. Master Cai, buy some time, I need to use the Killing Array!"
Master Cai did not need to wait for Bai Gu Cheng to speak; he had already charged towards Lin Mo. Now, it was either Lin Mo's death or his own.
Master Cai's entire body's True Qi solidified, his fists like cannon shots, exploding the air and producing sonic booms. His Fist Wind was as though it could shake mountains and rivers.
Simultaneously, Bai Gu Cheng's hands spurred the Killing Array into action. The Thunder Seals floating in the air flickered with countless sparks of electricity, resembling dazzling meteors. Immediately afterwards, the surrounding flowers and trees began to slowly sprout anew, with withered blossoms blooming once again. It was as if spring had arrived in the courtyard, reviving everything, with a flourish of blossoms.
"I'm going all out with you!" At this point, Master Cai was on the edge of a mental breakdown, his eyes blood-red, raging like a fierce beast, knowing only unceasing assault.
Lin Mo, with a single hand forming a shield, blocked Master Cai's punch. Then, with a slight lift of his left hand, as if exerting no effort, Lin Mo's punch lightly made contact. There wasn't even a hint of wind sound, but when it hit Master Cai, he was sent flying, smashing heavily onto the ground, his chest caving in entirely, a pool of bright red blood staining the ground. He was dead.
The Sect Leader of Dragon Tiger Sect, the Northeast's Half-step Martial God Cai Yuan, killed!
"Youngster, your strength indeed exceeds my expectations. Even Cai Yuan died at your hands. If I were to fight you one-on-one, I certainly wouldn't be your match. But you must realize, this is Bai Family's territory."
Bai Gu Cheng finally completed the spell, and above the floating Thunder Seals, torrents of brilliant lightning dazzled the space. Thousands of silver threads of electricity wove into miniature dragons, which swarmed over the Thunder Seals, harboring immense energy.
"If you leave an arm behind and go now, I can spare your life; otherwise, I can only let you be buried here," Bai Gu Cheng said, eyes harboring deep chill.
"Let's see what you've got to bury me here," Lin Mo answered, his voice cold and disdainful.
The cold light flickered in Bai Gu Cheng's eyes as he shouted chillingly, "The Bai Family estate has been the foundation for a hundred years. A century ago, my Master set up the Heavenly Thunder Power, deeply buried within the Bai Family's Earth Vein, and used the yin-yang Five Elements to lay out the Array Formation. For a hundred years it has been absorbing the Power of thunder and lightning, and I would absolutely not use it unless my Bai Family faced life-and-death crisis. But since you're courting death, I can only fulfill your wish."
This type of array could only be used once, so Bai Gu Cheng was very cautious. If today Lin Mo hadn't invaded the Bai Family estate, he would have been utterly reluctant to activate this protective Killing Array.
Lin Mo then turned to look at Chen Junyang and with a wave of his hand, a gentle Spiritual Energy carried Chen Junyang, Chen Guhui, and their parents, floating them out of the yard.
Bai Gu Cheng was in no hurry to use the Killing Array, considering that the Bai Family members were still inside the courtyard. This Earth Vein had accumulated a century's worth of thunder and lightning, its power unknown in magnitude.
People frantically fled, only once behind the villa did they stand afar to watch.
At that moment, the entire villa was enveloped by a net woven by thousands of thunder and lightning strikes, with lightning flashing and Thunder Snakes leaping about, an endless sense of terrifying danger suddenly enveloping the entire villa.
Bai Gu Cheng looked at the Thunder Seal, taking a deep breath of rage. The Thunder Seal was a top-tier Martial Arts Spiritual Artifact passed down to him by his Master. Only now, to draw upon the Thunder Absolute Killing Array, fine cracks had already appeared on the Thunder Seal. He didn't know how much effort and materials would be required to repair it.
"But if I can kill you, a young genius, it will have been worth it!" Bai Gu Cheng's eyes twinkled with icy coldness, his finger pressed upon the Thunder Seal.
Suddenly, the entire house was filled with flashing lightning and roaring thunder, a white brilliance as dazzling as fireworks blinding everyone.
The Heavenly Thunder Power, stored deep within the Earth Vein, burst forth, and nine thunder lightning Flood Dragons roared through the sky. Wherever they passed, everything turned to ash; the nine Heaven-Slaying Thunder Dragons roared ferociously, charging directly at Lin Mo.
The entire villa was engulfed in thunderous roars and rampant lightning, as if a colossal missile had been dropped, turning the villa into rubble, with only sparks of Spirit Star electricity jumping.
"Is Lin Mo dead?"
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the pile of ruins.
(Wonderful continuation tomorrow, good night.)
