Chapter 87: Peak Jindan: Killed on a Whim!

The sudden scene left everyone in a state of absolute shock!

“What? He actually killed Mo Ji!”

“A 9th-grade Jindan expert… one-shot just like that?”

“This is simply unbelievable! Just what level has Lu Jin’s combat strength reached?”

The crowd could not help but erupt in startled cries!

The members of the Mo Family felt their gazes turn freezing cold in an instant. Their fury billowed like an erupting volcano! They clearly had not expected Lu Jin to be so decisive: killing the moment he spoke! Furthermore, Mo Ji had not even been given the chance to react!

Chu Tianxiong was also stunned. He had originally been worried that Lu Jin might kill a member of the Mo Family and ignite a blood feud. The Mo Family was one of the Four Great Families of the Blood Moon Holy Land: an ancient clan with a deep foundation. Besides the several Zifu Realm experts present today, their family also had an Ancestor of unknown cultivation sitting in reserve!

To oppose such a super-family was a path to certain death! Yet now… Mo Ji had been killed. The bridge was well and truly burned!

“You dare to kill a member of my Mo Family? Boy, today I will grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes!”

Mo Tuojiang, who had been relatively composed until now, suddenly exploded in a towering rage!

Boom!

As his aura erupted, a horrific fluctuation swept across the entire field. Within a radius of ten thousand yards, everyone was instantly suppressed: unable to even lift their heads!

The 3rd-Transformation Zifu Realm!

The pressure rolled out in waves. The invisible air currents were so heavy that the sound of snapping wood echoed from the distant trees as they were crushed!

Puff!

Some of the closer disciples with weaker cultivation could not stop themselves from spitting out mouthfuls of blood. Their auras withered away instantly! A Zifu Realm expert, especially one who had reached the Third Transformation, was a truly invincible existence!

In that same instant, a trace of icy chill surfaced in Lu Jin’s eyes.

Is this the pressure of a 3rd-Transformation Zifu Realm expert? It is indeed formidable. However, such pure energy cannot be wasted.

Lu Jin stood as straight as a spear. Although he was enduring the weight of that intense pressure, and despite the fact that Mo Tuojiang’s aura was aimed specifically at him, his posture remained high and undaunted. He showed no fear!

“Oh? You actually have some skill!”

Seeing that Lu Jin had not been forced down by the weight of his pressure, Mo Tuojiang’s expression shifted once more. He knew Lu Jin had tricks up his sleeve, but even after drawing the pressure away from the crowd to concentrate it entirely on the boy, Lu Jin still refused to kneel. This was unexpected. An ordinary 3rd-grade Jindan would have been crushed into a bloody mist by now!

“Your Mo Family is clearly the one going too far!”

At this moment, Long Xiwei suddenly charged forward. A surge of spiritual Qi enveloped Lu Jin as she tried to protect him. However, Mo Tuojiang’s gaze turned cold: a strand of spiritual energy instantly bound her.

“Heh. Such deep affection. You actually dare to stand up for him at a time like this? Fine. This Seat shall fulfill your wish!”

Shoo!

As Mo Tuojiang spoke, a sliver of spiritual energy transformed into a flying dagger, stabbing directly toward Long Xiwei.

“Disciple!”

Seeing this, Long Xiwei’s master, Yun Chaomu, also struck out instantly! Although she knew she was no match, she chose to act for the sake of her beloved disciple without a moment of hesitation!

Unfortunately, in the eyes of Mo Tuojiang, Yun Chaomu’s cultivation was no different from Long Xiwei’s. Both were existences that could be killed in a second.

In this moment, everyone’s nerves were pulled taut. When a 3rd-Transformation Zifu expert was angry, he could kill whomever he pleased: no one could stop him!

“Break for me!”

In that split second, a surge of spiritual power erupted from within Lu Jin, instantly blowing apart the attack directed at Long Xiwei. Although his momentum could not compare to Mo Tuojiang’s, he had managed to resolve the crisis for the master and disciple.

“Hmm?”

With his strike failing to find its mark, Mo Tuojiang’s brow furrowed. Murderous intent shot from his eyes as he looked at Lu Jin, yet his gaze remained playful. “Kid, I won’t let you die too easily!”

Buzz!

As his words fell, he flipped his palm. A flash of green light appeared, and a tripod cauldron manifested.

“What? That is the Mo Family Head’s Blood-Refining Cauldron!”

“Rumor has it this cauldron can refine a person’s flesh and bone into nothing but pus! The Family Head then uses that pus to water his garden of lethal poisons!”

“This is a fate where the opponent won’t even have a grave!”

“Lu Jin, oh Lu Jin. You are a heaven-defying genius, but I fear you cannot escape death today! Why did you have to offend the Mo Family!”

At this moment, everyone in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect felt their hearts skipping beats. Their gazes were complex, yet they lacked the collective courage to resist the Mo Family. After all, doing so was no different from seeking death.

“Family Head Mo!”

Just as Mo Tuojiang was about to launch his attack on Lu Jin, Chu Tianxiong’s voice rang out: cold and decisive.

“This Seat warned you previously that my disciple does not know his own strength. Now that your family member has been destroyed, it is the result of your refusal to listen to advice. What, are you now so shamed by your anger that you intend to kill my beloved disciple?”

These words and this attitude caused everyone’s expressions to shift! It was clear the Sect Master intended to protect Lu Jin! But could the Sect Master’s strength actually compete with Mo Tuojiang’s 3rd-Transformation Zifu Realm? No one knew Chu Tianxiong’s true strength; he had always presented himself as a peak Jindan.

“Oh? Chu Tianxiong, you intend to protect him?” Mo Tuojiang looked at the Sect Master and snorted.

“Of course. As a Sect Master, if I cannot even protect my own disciple, then what is the point of being a Sect Master!”

Chu Tianxiong’s gaze was resolute, his attitude firm. As he spoke, a surge of spiritual power began to radiate from his body. Seeing this posture, Mo Tuojiang’s eyes turned icy.

“Since you want to drag the entire Ten Thousand Swords Sect into the water, this Seat shall start the slaughter today and wipe your sect out.”

As he spoke, the other Mo Family experts began to move. Majestic spiritual Qi erupted from their bodies, enveloping the mountain gate for thousands of yards! At this moment, everyone in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was terrified! In their eyes, they were now in a hopeless situation! Their Sect Master’s current choice was undoubtedly the wrong one!

“With just you lot, you think you can destroy my Ten Thousand Swords Sect?”

Chu Tianxiong gave a cold smile and suddenly lunged toward a Mo Family expert at the 1st-Transformation Zifu Realm. His movement was incredibly fast. With the suddenness of the sneak attack, the Mo Family expert didn’t even have time to react before his chest was pierced through. His life force dissipated rapidly!

“Wh… what?”

“This…”

Chu Tianxiong’s sudden act of slaughter left everyone speechless! Even Lu Jin had not expected his Sect Master to be so fierce! However, while others did not understand the intent behind this decisiveness, Lu Jin did.

Once you decide to turn hostile, you must do it faster than flipping a page in a book! Otherwise, you will be the one at a disadvantage!

Shoo!

While the crowd gasped, Chu Tianxiong did not delay for a moment after killing the 1st-Transformation Zifu expert. He immediately charged toward another Mo Family master! He wanted to minimize obstacles and save his strength to deal with Mo Tuojiang!

Mo Tuojiang was bewildered. Since when could Zifu Realm experts be one-shot like this? Furthermore, how could Chu Tianxiong’s combat power suddenly surge so high? It faintly carried the aura of the 3rd-Transformation Zifu Realm!

Boom!

Before he could act to stop Chu Tianxiong from slaughtering his family, a violent attack whistled toward him from the front! The moment he looked up, he saw Lu Jin’s figure streaking toward him like lightning. A flaming sword in his hand ignited with a chilling blade-glow as he thrust forward with rolling killing intent!
