Chapter 62: A Narrow Escape

  ……

  As Kū Mokkei retreated, the battlefield also shifted inside the large temple.

  The setting sun casts a slanting glow, cold winds rise on all sides, and the broken walls and parapets evoke a sense of shock.

  Inside the Chen family compound, the majestic stone lions are also incomplete, the spider web-like cracks on the walls, and the pits and potholes on the ground all reveal this disaster.

  Two groups of people and horses separated from each other, forming two teams in the large courtyard.

  Chen Zhengfeng, along with the severely injured and weakened Taishang Laojun, stood at the very front.

  Chen Zhengfeng smiled wryly, never expecting that the mastermind behind the scenes would be the Qu family. The Chen and Qu families were as different as fireflies and the bright moon.

  Gu Muqing's face was also ashen, and he was terrified. He had originally thought that Chen Deshui had arranged everything. As a result, the two innate first-level bodyguards who followed him were only assigned to follow Huang Chuan.

  But unexpectedly Chen De Shui was incompetent and caused trouble, and he was actually counter-attacked. He lost his left arm, it's really a case of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken.

  After he had set off the fireworks, another prenatally appointed bodyguard, Ding Shan, brought a group of people to hurry over and join Qu Muqing's team. Only then did he have the confidence to make a comeback.

  "Chen Zhengfeng, I'll give you another chance. Hand over the jade ring obediently, or else I'll make sure that not a single chicken or dog is left in the Chen family." Qu Muqing stood in the Chen family's large courtyard, flaunting his power and being arrogant beyond measure. His eyes gleaming with venom, he stared at Chen Mo and said: "Of course, this little brat must also die."

  Taking advantage of his illness to take his life, for the ruthless Qiumu Qing, is a familiar trick. Although their side had lost some masters, the opposing party's innate expert Chen Yixian was already half crippled, what was there to fear?

  "Don't even think about it." Chen Zhengfeng said with a stern expression. Although he was seriously injured, his voice remained majestic and resolute as iron.

  He led his troops against the enemy, like a brave and loyal warrior, defending the honor of the Chen family with his life.

  The sky is sorrowful with residual clouds, the earth is pitiful with withered grass. The humble Chen family has suffered such a calamity, as the head of the clan, I can only fight back with all my might.

  "Chen Zhengfeng, it seems you're looking for death." Qu Muqing said with a vicious tone, his mouth corner rising menacingly, then turned his head and signaled with his eyes.

  A green-robed old man suddenly rose into the air, his legs crossed in front of him as he moved forward with a whooshing sound, his dark energy at the ready, charging straight for Chen Zhengfeng.

  Congenital!

  This congenital master, is actually another bodyguard of Qu Muqing, and is just a follower attached to the Qu family. The Qu family is wealthy and powerful, these people have the mentality of relying on the big tree for shade.

  Chen Zhengfeng's eyebrows furrowed tightly as he gritted his teeth. This person's strength far surpassed his own, but having the Taishang Elder make another move was clearly no longer an option.

  As the head of the family, defend the family, and die if necessary!

  "Flash of lightning"

  Chen Zhengfeng gathered all his dark energy, taking large strides like a meteor, and rushed to Ding Shan in a flash, with a powerful kick that seemed like a dragon's tail. The Thunderbolt Three Forms, which he had been practicing for over ten years, had reached a realm of slight success under his diligent practice, its power was quite extraordinary.

  "Slap!"

  The crisp sound of fists and feet colliding momentarily rippled through the Chen family's large courtyard, a strong gust of air stirring up dust that filled the air.

  Chen Zhengfeng clearly fell into a disadvantage, flew out backwards, spitting out fresh blood.

  Ding Shan squeezed out a cold smile, and as Chen Zhengfeng struggled to get up, he kicked off the stairs, flipped through the air, and pounced like a wild beast. With a loud roar, the air trembled, and with one palm strike, he delivered a fatal blow.

  With a "bang", Chen Zhengfeng once again took a hard hit, feeling as if his chest had been struck by a falling rock. He stumbled backward for over a dozen steps before finally stopping at the stone pillar in the great hall, drenched in sweat, with a suffocating chest and labored breathing.

  "Halt!" Chen Yixian, who had just stopped bleeding, flew up with a fierce gaze and helped Chen Zhengfeng take down Ding Shan.

  Two palms exerted their strength, and the wind whirled around in a frenzy.

  "Gu Muqing, you're a dog not even worthy of being a mixed breed." Chen Mo angrily provoked: "Only knowing how to hide behind others, muttering like a woman. If you have the guts, let's duel one on one."

  "You little beast, you're looking for death." With a fierce cry, Qu Mu Qing flew straight at Chen Mo, his palm swirling with a whirlwind that swept towards him.

  Chen Mo faced the crisis with courage, lightly leaping back with a nimble body.

  "Where to escape?" Ku Mu Qing sneered, swinging a pale blue airflow like a whip, striking Chen Mo, the surrounding air shrieking and howling.

  Chen Mo's eyes narrowed, knowing that Qu Mu Qing was from a high-ranking family and had excellent cultivation and mystic techniques. He immediately launched an extremely fierce Thunder Cannon attack.

  Two phases collide, energy bursts out.

  Chen Mo stumbled back seven or eight steps, his chest heaving with blood and energy surging inside, a sweet taste in his throat, as fresh blood spurted out.

  "Second Brother!" He Lian Huo's face lost color as he rushed over to help, but unexpectedly was blocked by two powerful Ling Masters and engaged in a fierce battle.

  "You little bastard, you're crazy, you're really crazy." Qu Muqing's face was twisted and menacing as he stepped closer: "Your sister is quite pretty, I've had fun with your sister-in-law, and now it's time for your sister. The thought of it is just wonderful. Hehe, if I were to have them both together..."

  "Damn it!"

  Chen Mo grabbed Xiao Ba and flung him out violently. Xiao Ba's limbs retracted, spinning rapidly like a stone, smashing down fiercely.

  "What the hell is this?" As Qu Muqing punched "Stone" away, Chen Mo suddenly darted over like a ghostly shadow, his tattered clothes bursting apart to reveal his young yet powerful physique.

  The brilliant mysterious energy burst forth inside his body, making him seem like a majestic and awe-inspiring Vajra, capable of subduing demons and evil spirits.

  "Kung Fu Devil!"

  Chen Mo burst into a furious roar, breaking free from his restraints. He poured out the comprehension he had gained from the Jade Ring's Taohuang Thunder Path, combined with his own insights, and unleashed a powerful Golden Vajra Demon-Subduing Mantra, radiating an intense, majestic light that illuminated everything.

  In the great courtyard, fierce winds howl, shattered fragments fly everywhere.

  So violently extreme, the momentum of destroying heaven and earth shocked Qu Mu Qing to the extreme. After being shocked, he hurriedly turned from offense to defense, hastily gathered his vital energy, and condensed it into an air-sea shield. This move, Air-Sea Shield, was carefully taught by his master, and after diligent practice, had already reached a state of slight success, with super-strong defensive capabilities.

  "Hum~" Two air currents clashed first, a loud noise echoed in the sky, shaking the entire courtyard.

  Kui Mu Qing Zhou was suddenly blown away by the air shield, and his body crashed into the wall like a broken sack, with a loud crash, burying him under the collapsed wall.

  However, Chen Mo was thoroughly exhausted. The Golden Fowl's Demon-Suppressing Power was extremely powerful, but the damage it caused to himself was also quite exaggerated. If he didn't possess the Heavenly Tree Sapling, a treasure that defied the heavens, he wouldn't have dared to use such a self-destructive move.

  Trembling, it stood upright, exuding a faint green aura that seeped into its own veins and flesh, repairing itself. That last blow would have been fatal to Qi Muqing if he hadn't managed to withstand it.

  Young Master!

  A group of Kuai Mu's men rushed over and pulled him out.

  "Whoa, Gu Mu Qing was covered in blood and bruises, with fresh blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. He shook off his subordinates and stumbled towards Chen Mo, laughing furiously as he said: 'Good, you little brat are quite something.'"

  "Ah!"

  Chen Mo's mouth corners slightly twitched with bitterness. The powerful Golden Vajra Subduing Demon was indeed formidable, but due to his own insufficient strength, he couldn't kill the 7th-stage Spirit Master Qu Muqing, which was also normal.

  What a pity!

  At this time, the sunset was setting in the west, a faint red evening glow fell, and the broken Chen family's courtyard was ravaged by strong winds and flying sand. The originally hard bluestone ground, under the impact of the two innate powers, left behind shocking gullies, shaking the sky and earth, with flying stone debris.

  Both being congenital, Chen Yixian's breath was obviously weaker than his opponent. From the start, he was suppressed and after several palm strikes, he could no longer hold on. He was struck flying with a palm, and fresh blood continuously flowed out of his mouth and nose. His body stumbled backward for several steps before finally stabilizing.

  It seems that the previous battle had left Taishang Elder not only losing an arm, but also suffering fatal internal injuries.

  The internal injury could no longer be suppressed and suddenly burst out in his body.

  Ding Shan smiled slyly, with a glint in his eyes. His palms moved continuously, accompanied by the whooshing of palm winds, and the endless palm prints fell towards Chen Yixian's upper air, as long as there was no accident, the result waiting for Chen Yixian would be a tragic end of being crushed to pieces.

  Chen Mo felt deeply the terror and majesty contained in this formula, but he was helpless. A sigh escaped his heart, could it be that heaven really wanted to destroy the Chen family? Unwilling, I am unwilling.

  "You little brat, I want to wipe out the Chen family completely." Qiu Muqing, who had been humiliated to the extreme, had thoroughly revealed his true nature. Today, he not only wanted to take the jade ring but also wanted the Chen family's blood to flow like a river.

  Chen Yixian's lone arm trembled as he struggled to get up, suppressing the injuries within his body and mobilizing his last bit of vital energy for a final, desperate battle. His breath suddenly became disordered, his internal organs churning with blood, his throat convulsing, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. All his strength seemed to have been drained away, his body going limp as he leaned on one hand, half-lying on the ground, already at the mercy of his opponent, like a fish on the chopping board waiting to be slaughtered.

  At this moment, all members of the Chen family were boiling. They rushed forward with their lives, but were tightly restrained by the strong men brought by Qu Muqing.

  Under distraction, even more family elite disciples were beaten to death, blood splattered on the spot, and the air was filled with a strong bloody smell, extremely thick.

  Everyone understands that once the Taishang Elder falls, no one can restrain the congenital masters of both sides, and the situation will have no room for reversal. Not only all the people present, but even the entire Chen family will be slaughtered.

  Despairing emotions surged like a tidal wave, shrouding the hearts of every member of the Chen family, as if plummeting into an icy abyss, growing increasingly cold.

  In an instant, a three-clawed footprint that seemed to belong to a monstrous beast from the primordial wilderness appeared in the sky above, shrouded in an aura of infinite pressure. Along with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, the entire area within a ten-mile radius around the Chen Family's Grand Hall was filled with piercing sounds that shattered the air.

  A loud rumble, the entire ground shook violently, Chen Mo stabilized his body and took a closer look. Where Ding Shan was originally standing, a cloud of dust rolled up to the sky, making it impossible to see what was happening inside for a moment.
