As for the man in the black robe, his expression was extremely ugly.
Lin Mo gave him a glance and uttered with a sneer,
"What? Do you need me to expose you myself?"
The man in the black robe's face became icy,
"Bastard!"
After cursing, the man in the black robe didn't hesitate any longer and then suddenly smashed the golden Buddha statue with his palm.
The next second, to everyone's surprise, a cloud of dark energy burst out from the golden Buddha statue.
That dark energy, like evil ghosts released from hell, looked incredibly ferocious and terrifying.
In an instant, it seemed as if Asura had opened its gaping maw, heading straight for Hong Gang's position in an attack.
Seeing this, all the Hong Family members were frightened.
Qi Feng's face also showed shock, but he was not far from Hong Gang and immediately shouted,
"Bastard! Dare to harm my friend in front of me, Qi Feng?"
No sooner had his voice fallen than Qi Feng moved, his speed was very fast, but what people didn't expect was that the man in the black robe was twice as fast as him.
Furthermore, the man in the black robe threw a punch at him, the force of the wind from his fist as though it could tear space apart.
Qi Feng's expression turned to shock as his hand clenched suddenly, and his True Qi gathered within him like towering waves, layer upon layer.
Bang!
The two fists collided, dust kicked up around them, windows shattered from the vibration, and the bystanders almost felt as if they could be deafened.
Sputter!
The next second, to everyone's astonishment, Qi Feng was struck to the ground by the man in the black robe's palm, vomitting blood profusely.
With just a single palm strike, Qi Feng was grievously injured. Just how terrifyingly powerful was this black-robed man?
At the same time, the black mist had already completely locked onto Hong Gang.
"Dad!!"
"Family Head!"
Seeing this, the Hong Family members already terrified, including Hong Qianqian, were absolutely panic-stricken.
Although they didn't know what that cloud of dark energy was, they were very clear that if it entered Hong Gang's body, he could very well die on the spot.
Qi Feng was on the verge of exploding with rage and fear, yelling, "Bastard!!"
In that moment, he was about to rush forward again, but the man in the black robe let out a 'hehe' cold laughter,
"Hahaha... He has already been completely locked on by my Death Qi, trying to save him is futile."
"Now, the only fate waiting for him is a dead end."
The black-robed man laughed arrogantly, full of pride.
Upon hearing this, the Hong Family members on-site were stricken with grief, but under those circumstances, they were so oppressed by the aura of the black mist that they could barely breathe, let alone help Hong Gang.
"It seems I'm done for," Hong Gang also felt somewhat desperate, his complexion ashen to the depths.
"Is that so? I don't think so."
However, just then, an extremely out-of-place voice suddenly rang out.
Immediately after, everyone saw Lin Mo extinguish the cigarette butt in his hand with a flick of his finger.
The next second, the cigarette butt shot through the air, heading straight for the cloud of dark energy.
In an instant, everyone was stunned as they clearly saw Lin Mo's cigarette butt fly and directly disintegrate the cloud of dark energy.
"What?"
The black-robed man's face went completely pale; he had never imagined that his Death Qi, which was refined from countless Gu Worm Essence and abundant Corpse Qi, could be destroyed so easily.
Once it successfully targeted a person, not even a Great Grandmaster could thwart or block it.
However, how could he have expected that Lin Mo would break it apart so effortlessly.
"No good, run!!"
The black-robed man's expression darkened, and without a moment's hesitation, he thought of something and turned to run out of the villa.
His body, like a baseball struck into motion, moved with a rapid arc. In just a brief one or two seconds, he had exited the main hall entrance.
"in front of me, you act tough, and now you want to run? Do you think you can escape?"
Lin Mo chuckled coldly, leaped, and in the blink of an eye, he was already behind the black-robed man.
"Damn it!"
The black-robed man cursed angrily, swinging a fist at Lin Mo, and then, he strode through the air.
"Trash!"
Lin Mo's face was expressionless. With his hands behind his back, his body shot into the sky like Flowing Light, and then, he kicked the black-robed man down with a direct blow.
Seeing this, everyone from the Hong Family was stunned. How formidable had the black-robed man been when he fought Qi Feng?
Yet, he couldn't withstand a single kick from Lin Mo?
In an instant, everyone's faces turned ashen, realizing they had just been mocking Lin Mo—they really were courting death!
"Impossible, you're only seventeen or eighteen, how could you...?"
The black-robed man, crashed to the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked up in disbelief. Had this kid been cultivating from the womb?
Looking at Lin Mo, the black-robed man said with full of fear,
"You can't kill me, you can't. I am the Great Disciple of the Gu King. If you kill me, my master will certainly tear you to pieces."
But Lin Mo merely smiled coldly, "Can't kill you? I forgot to tell you, not long ago, I killed someone. It seems he was also a disciple of the Gu King, probably your junior brother."
"What... what?" The black-robed man felt an almost tearful despair; his own junior brother had been killed by this youngster, and now he was about to die by the same hand—what a terrible twist of fate.
"You... aren't you afraid of my master's revenge? If you spare me, I can plead with my master on your behalf and ask him not to take your killing of my junior brother to heart."
Lin Mo let out a cold laugh,
"He won't hold a grudge? If he doesn't hold it against me, does it mean I should spare him?"
After saying this, Lin Mo grabbed the man's throat, and asked icily,
"Tell me, why target the Hong Family?"
"If I tell you, will you spare me?"
Lin Mo glanced at him coldly, "You are not in a position to negotiate terms with me. Since you won't talk, you might as well die."
As his words fell, Lin Mo twisted the black-robed man's throat, stiffening his body, he died a certain death.
Those present, seeing this, felt fear in their eyes.
They had dared to provoke Lin Mo earlier, essentially signing their own death warrant!
Lin Mo scanned the crowd; they all shuddered nonstop when meeting his icy gaze.
Lin Mo glanced at Hong De and Hong Rui, then said to Hong Gang indifferently,
"Some family matters, you handle them."
At those words, Hong De and Hong Rui trembled violently, kneeling on the ground,
"Big brother, forgive us, we were blinded by greed and wanted to set you up, but we didn't expect he actually would go after your life."
"Yes, uncle, we realize our mistake."
After speaking, Lin Mo turned and walked towards the door. Qi Feng, however, followed him, full of respect, he said,
"Sir, could you possibly take me as your disciple?"
Lin Mo gave him a glance and said dispassionately,
"You're not qualified enough."
After leaving the Hong Family, Lin Mo had just returned to school when someone approached him.
"You... are Lin Mo?"
Lin Mo looked at the person and said indifferently, "What's up?"
The person nodded, and then, tremblingly, he presented a gilded challenge letter with both hands.
Lin Mo opened the challenge letter to see a row of clear, prominent characters:
"Challenger Lu Gucheng! I challenge you three days from now, atop Smoke Wave Lake!"
Seeing that Lin Mo had read the letter, the person fled like a dog with its tail between its legs, in a panic.
(Good night, the excitement continues tomorrow, sorry for the late update.)
