Chapter 61

......

As Ku Muxing retreated, the battlefield shifted to within the courtyard.

The setting sun cast a dim light, cold winds blew from all directions, and the ruins and broken walls were a shocking sight.

Inside the Chen family courtyard, the once majestic stone lions were now damaged, the walls were cracked like spider webs, and the ground was pitted and scarred, all testifying to the disaster that had befallen them.

The two sides separated, forming two groups within the vast courtyard.

Chen Zhengfeng, along with the Supreme Elder who had lost an arm and was severely weakened, stood at the forefront.

Chen Zhengfeng gave a bitter laugh, never expecting the mastermind to be the Ku family. Compared to them, the Chen family was like a firefly to the moon.

Ku Muxing's face was ashen, filled with lingering fear. He had originally thought that Chen Deshui had everything arranged. Therefore, he only brought two initial-stage innate bodyguards, and only arranged for Huang Chuan to accompany him.

However, Chen Deshui proved to be more of a liability than an asset, and was outmaneuvered. Losing his left arm, it was truly a case of losing more than he gained.

After he released the signal, the other innate bodyguard, Ding Shan, hurriedly arrived with a group of people and joined Ku Muxing's forces, giving him the confidence to launch a counterattack.

"Chen Zhengfeng, I'll give you one more chance. Hand over the jade pendant obediently, or I'll leave no one alive in the Chen family." Ku Muxing stood in the Chen family courtyard, boasting and domineering, his eyes filled with venom as he stared at Chen Mo and said, "Of course, this boy must die."

Taking advantage of his opponent's weakness to finish him off was a common tactic for the unscrupulous Ku Muxing. Although his side had lost some experts, the Chen family's innate expert, Chen Yixian, was already half-disabled. What was there to fear?

"Out of the question," Chen Zhengfeng said angrily. Although he was severely injured, his voice was still powerful and resolute.

He led his people to stand against the enemy, like a loyal warrior, vowing to defend the dignity of the Chen family to the death.

The sky was overcast, and the earth was covered with withered grass. The small Chen family suffered such a disaster, and as the clan leader, he could only fight to the death.

"Chen Zhengfeng, it seems you're courting death," Ku Muxing said viciously, his lips curling into a cruel smile, then he turned and gave a signal.

A man in a green robe immediately leaped into the air, his legs crossing as he moved, the sound of air friction accompanying him. He gathered his innate energy in his palm and charged straight at Chen Zhengfeng.

Innate!

This innate expert was Ku Muxing's other bodyguard, merely a follower of the Ku family. Ku Muxing's family was powerful, and these people clung to the strong for protection.

Chen Zhengfeng's brows furrowed tightly. This person's strength far exceeded his own, but sending the Supreme Elder to fight again was clearly not an option.

As the clan leader, he would defend his family to the death!

"Thunder Flash!"

Chen Zhengfeng gathered all his innate energy, took large strides, and rushed to Ding Shan like a phantom, delivering a powerful kick, like a dragon's tail. After years of diligent practice, his Thunder Rush technique had reached a considerable level of mastery, with formidable power.

"Slap~"

The crisp sound of a collision echoed through the Chen family courtyard, and a strong gust of wind stirred up dust in the air.

Chen Zhengfeng was clearly at a disadvantage, flying backward and spitting out blood.

Ding Shan's lips curled into a cold smile. As Chen Zhengfeng struggled to stand, he kicked off the steps, rolled in the air, and roared like a wild beast, sending a palm strike that shook the air, aiming for a fatal blow.

"Slap" Chen Zhengfeng took the hit again, feeling as if a boulder had struck his chest. He staggered back several steps, colliding with a pillar in the hall before stopping, drenched in sweat, his chest heavy, and his breathing labored.

"Stop!" Chen Yixian, who had just stopped bleeding, flew over in a rage, intercepting Ding Shan to help Chen Zhengfeng.

The two exchanged powerful palm strikes, the air swirling with their energy.

"Ku Muxing, you scum of the earth," Chen Mo shouted provocatively, "hiding behind your subordinates, whispering like a woman. If you have the guts, let's fight one-on-one."

"You brat, you're asking for it." Ku Muxing, who already hated Chen Mo to the core, flew over, his palm enveloped in a fierce hurricane, sweeping toward Chen Mo.

Chen Mo, undaunted by the danger, leaped back lightly, his movements agile.

"Where do you think you're going?" Ku Muxing sneered, waving a pale blue energy stream like a whip, striking toward Chen Mo, the air whistling sharply around him.

Chen Mo's eyes narrowed, knowing that Ku Muxing came from a prestigious family and was highly skilled. He immediately countered with a powerful Thunder Cannon.

The two energies collided, causing a violent explosion.

Chen Mo's cultivation was ultimately inferior, and he was hit by a massive impact, staggering back several steps, his chest filled with surging blood, and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Second Brother!" Helian Huowu, her face pale with fear, rushed over to help, but was intercepted by two spirit masters, engaging in a fierce battle.

"Brat, you're arrogant, but how long can you keep it up?" Ku Muxing, with a sinister expression, pressed forward step by step. "Your sister is quite pretty. After playing with your sister-in-law, I'll play with your sister. The thought is delightful. Heh heh, and if I take them both together..."

"Scum!"

Chen Mo grabbed Xiao Ba and threw him out. Xiao Ba's limbs contracted, spinning violently like a stone, smashing into the target.

"What the hell is this?" Ku Muxing punched the "stone" away, but Chen Mo, like a shadow, darted over, his tattered clothes bursting open, revealing his young but powerful body.

The Bright Innate Energy exploded within him, making him look like a mighty and awe-inspiring Vajra.

"Vajra Subdues Demons!"

Chen Mo roared in fury, unleashing the essence of the Great Desolate Thunder Path he had comprehended from the jade pendant, combined with his own insights, and the powerful and righteous Great Brightness Divine Technique.

A fierce wind howled through the courtyard, debris flying everywhere.

The overwhelming and destructive power of this attack shocked Ku Muxing. In a panic, he hastily switched to defense, gathering his innate energy to form a Sea of Qi Shield. This shield, taught by his master and refined through diligent practice, had reached a considerable level of mastery, with exceptional defensive capabilities.

"Boom~" The two energy streams collided, a deafening sound echoing through the courtyard.

Ku Muxing's protective shield was shattered, and he was thrown against the wall like a rag doll, the wall collapsing and burying him.

But Chen Mo was completely drained. The Vajra Subdues Demons technique was extremely powerful but also extremely damaging to himself. If not for the Heavenly Brightness Divine Tree sapling, he would never have dared to use such a self-destructive move.

Shakily standing, he felt a faint green aura seeping into his meridians and flesh, repairing his body. If this attack didn't kill Ku Muxing, he would have no other options.

"Master!"

A group of Ku Muxing's subordinates rushed over to dig him out.

Ku Muxing, covered in dirt and blood, pushed away his subordinates and staggered forward, laughing in rage at Chen Mo, "Good, you have guts, boy."

"Phew!"

Chen Mo's lips twitched slightly. The Vajra Subdues Demons technique was powerful, but due to his inferior strength, failing to kill the seventh-stage spirit master Ku Muxing was understandable.

What a pity, truly a pity.

At this moment, the sun was setting, a pale red afterglow casting over the devastated Chen family courtyard. A fierce wind raged, and sand and stones flew. The once hard blue stone ground was now scarred with deep grooves from the clash of the two innate experts, the ground shaking and debris flying.

Chen Yixian, also an innate expert, was clearly weaker than his opponent. From the start, he was under constant pressure. After a few exchanges, he could no longer hold on, being struck and flying backward, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, and staggering back several steps before stabilizing.

It seemed he was at the end of his strength. The previous battle had not only cost the Supreme Elder an arm but also inflicted fatal internal injuries.

His internal injuries could no longer be suppressed, bursting out violently.

Ding Shan chuckled, his eyes gleaming. He continuously swung his palms, the air whistling as a barrage of palm strikes rained down on Chen Yixian. Without any unexpected events, Chen Yixian's fate would be to be torn to pieces.

Chen Mo deeply felt the terrifying power of this attack but was helpless. He sighed in despair, wondering if it was truly the will of heaven to destroy the Chen family. He was unwilling, he was unwilling.

"Boy, I'll leave no one alive in the Chen family." Ku Muxing, humiliated to the extreme, had revealed his true nature. Today, he would not only take the jade pendant but also make the Chen family bleed.

Chen Yixian, trembling, picked up his remaining arm, suppressing his internal injuries, and gathered his last bit of innate energy to fight to the death. His energy suddenly became chaotic, his organs and blood surging, and with a mouthful of blood, he felt all his strength drain away, collapsing to the ground, a fish on a chopping block, awaiting slaughter.

At this moment, the Chen family was in turmoil. Everyone rushed forward, but was held back by the strong forces brought by Ku Muxing.

In the chaos, many of the family's elite disciples were killed, blood splattering the ground, and the air was thick with the smell of blood.

Everyone understood that once the Supreme Elder fell, no one could hold back the opponent's innate expert, and the situation would be beyond recovery. Not only those present but the entire Chen family would be massacred.

Despair washed over everyone's hearts, like being trapped in an icy cave, growing colder and colder.

Suddenly, a three-toed claw mark, resembling a prehistoric beast, appeared in the sky, enveloped in overwhelming pressure. With a sharp, tearing sound, the air around the Chen family courtyard within a ten-mile radius was filled with piercing whistles.

With a loud boom, the ground shook violently. Chen Mo steadied himself and looked closely. Where Ding Shan had been, a cloud of dust and debris rose into the sky, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
