Chapter 256 - 258: Crushing All Your Pride


Murong Lingxuan's Heavenly Slash Sword Light, that destroys all, sent the wind and clouds of heaven and earth scurrying chaotically, forcibly splitting the void apart.


Countless people were startled.


Lin Mo stood firm in place, his expression still indifferent.


"You think your sword is strong? That's just what you think!"


Lin Mo's cool voice echoed through the entire heaven and earth, and then, he simply struck out with his palm.


The Handprint was like the vast might of the heavens, pressing down towards the Heavenly Slash Sword Light.


Puff puff puff puff!!!


In an instant, the sword light that could devour the heavens was crushed by Lin Mo's Handprint, blasted into nothingness.


"What... What!!!"


Murong Lingxuan's eyes widened in shock, feeling an almost desolate urge to cry.


This was another blow to her, her first sword was ignored by Lin Mo, her second was just as easily crushed.


Suddenly, her whole world seemed to have changed, as if only she was left standing in place, completely isolated from the world of others.


The irony was that she thought herself to be the strongest in that world.


Just like what Lin Mo had just said, all her thoughts were nothing but self-delusion.


Boom!!


When Lin Mo's Handprint had crushed the Heavenly Slash Sword Light, it didn't stop there but continued pressing down on Murong Lingxuan. She dared not be the slightest bit negligent and quickly formed a Hand Seal, creating a pale red protective barrier.


After successfully forming it, Murong Lingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, firmly believing that the residual power of Lin Mo's Handprint couldn't possibly shatter her protective barrier.


However, this thought had barely taken hold.


Bang!!


The sound, like an explosion in the stratosphere, rang out. Murong Lingxuan's face turned deathly pale, not from injury, but from extreme psychological shock.


Whoosh! Boom...


After Murong Lingxuan's barrier shattered, her body, like a kite with a broken string, was unexpectedly blasted hundreds of meters away by the residual force.


Then, she crashed heavily onto a tree, breaking it with sheer force, and with a thud, fell onto the lawn.


On closer inspection, blood was oozing from the corner of Murong Lingxuan's mouth.


"I don't believe it!! I don't believe it!!"


Murong Lingxuan's eyes were bloodshot, and her normally elegantly coiled hair was a messy windblown tangle, her body in utter disarray, nowhere near the lofty stature of a Heavenly Pride Girl.


Spit spit!


She vomited several mouthfuls of blood one after another, her inner energy surging chaotically, her eyes filled with endless sorrow and hatred:


"Lin Mo, why have you become so strong!! Why!"


In her heart, she simply couldn't accept the fact that she was injured by Lin Mo's Handprint.


In her heart, she was even more curious, what exactly had Lin Mo experienced to grow to such a terrifying extent?


"Why?"


Lin Mo stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the disheveled Murong Lingxuan a hundred meters away, his voice coldly saying, "I told you, you are a flower in a greenhouse, while I, with my astonishing cultivation, have exchanged it for countless life and death situations."


"I can't stand it!! I can't stand it!" Murong Lingxuan roared madly.


"Can't stand it?"


Lin Mo stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent. Looking down at Murong Lingxuan, he spoke with a cold voice, "I'll give you one chance, unleash your strongest strike. If you hold back, I'll not give you another chance, and I'll disable you directly."


"Good! Lin Mo, you'll regret this!"


Murong Lingxuan's gaze was icy as she stared at Lin Mo. Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, the Green Blade Sword that had fallen dozens of meters away flew to her at her command.


With the Green Blade Sword in hand, a storm of murderous intent filled the sky in Murong Lingxuan's eyes. "Lin Mo, in all my time cultivating, you are the first to force me to use my trump card. I will personally cut you down with bloodied blade!"


Having said that, Murong Lingxuan's beautiful eyes turned cold as ice, filled with a frosty glint as she wielded the Green Blade Sword.


It seemed slow, but in the blink of an eye, countless afterimages filled the void.


Humming sounds vibrated through the air, as if the magnetic field of the entire space was thoroughly disturbed. Countless sword lights converged, like a billion swords raining down.


"Nine Star Void Splitting Sword Formation! Deploy!"


Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! In an instant, as the sword formation was fully activated, Murong Lingxuan turned deathly pale.


But the next second, an overwhelming torrent of sword rain without any gaps descended towards Lin Mo.


It was a spectacle too terrifying for words; any person facing such a sword formation would surely be shattered to pieces, with not even the remnants left behind.


Crucially, the power contained in each streak of sword light was equally formidable.


How immense must the True Qi be to sustain such an onslaught?


Facing the deadly Nine Star Void Splitting Sword Formation, Murong Lingxuan believed that Lin Mo had no chance of survival.


However, Lin Mo looked straight at her and said lightly, "The true power of a Sword Array does not lie in its strength, but in the strength of the person who wields the sword!"


After he spoke, the Xuanyuan Sword suddenly appeared in Lin Mo's hand.


Witnessing this scene, Murong Lingxuan's eyes filled with shock. "How do you have the Xuanyuan Sword?"


Lin Mo couldn't be bothered to answer. With an indifferent gaze, he wielded the Xuanyuan Sword and slashed down. A chilling sword intent of endless destruction seemed to shatter the dark clouds overhead.


Boom!!!


Clang!!!


Countless waves of energy exploded, and the clash of two different powers made it seem as if heaven and earth were shattering, momentarily creating two separate spaces.


In an instant, Murong Lingxuan's Nine Star Void Splitting Sword Formation was obliterated by Lin Mo's single strike.


"No!!!"


Murong Lingxuan's eyes widened to their limits, filled with unending defeat and devastation.


As the residual force of Lin Mo's sword was about to hit Murong Lingxuan...


Her face completely pale, whoosh, at that instant, a force tore through the air, striking against the sword might.


Bang!


Despite the sudden surge of power that shielded her from Lin Mo's sword, Murong Lingxuan was still sent flying, blood spurting uncontrollably, her state far more wretched than before.


Just as Murong Lingxuan was about to crash onto the lawn, an aged figure appeared instantaneously, catching her body and landing gently.


The moment they landed on the lawn, the White-haired Elder glared at Lin Mo with a fierce look and uttered in a voice laden with killing intent:


"Young man, you dare to completely destroy my disciple's cultivation!"


Lin Mo looked indifferently at the White-haired Elder and spoke imperiously, "Let her kneel and apologize for her past foolishness, and then take her and leave. Otherwise, I'll kill you both."


"Such audacity, the one who deserves to die is you!"


The Holy Land Taoist's eyes revealed an endless, cold intent to kill. He had never encountered such an arrogant young man before; the murderous aura from his body seemed to break through heaven and earth.
