169: Section 169

“This must be a Prodigy blessed by Luck!”

Many secretly marveled.

Some female Martial Artists, such as Prodigies from various forces, or female Disciples from Moonveil Sacred Ground, now had misty eyes and expressions of brilliant reverence, clearly drawn by Chu Mo’s demeanor.

The current Chu Mo.

Possessing “Aspiration of the Noble Clan” to increase his grace, and “temperament” to enhance his bearing, coupled with numerous Fates such as “Heavenly Gifted Roots” and “Haoran Righteous Qi,” as well as his own appearance, every action he made contained a transcendent Immortal Quality. No matter what Realm he was in, he stood out like a crane among chickens, dazzling and eye-catching.

Not to mention that he was currently the focus of all attention.

This naturally caused many to instantly fall for him.

Listening to the discussions and adoration for Chu Mo from many surrounding Prodigies and female Martial Artists made Ling Xiao extremely displeased.

Although he didn't value these things, everyone focusing on Chu Mo and ignoring him naturally made him feel a bit unhappy.

“When this Saint slays you, let’s see what kind of demeanor you’ll have then!”

Thinking of this.

A chilling killing intent appeared in his eyes.

And at this moment.

Chu Mo had already arrived on stage.

“Kill!”

Without any hesitation.

Ling Xiao directly unleashed all the Qi and blood in his body, and an endless Aura surged out. His entire body radiated brilliant Divine Might, which then gathered on the sword in his hand.

As a flawless sacred weapon forged within Ten Thousand Sword Valley, imbued with the killing Qi of countless sword artifacts, the destructive power it contained was naturally incredibly sharp.

With this one sword strike.

A fierce Sword Qi swept out.

Wherever it passed, the Void Realm trembled, and cracks appeared. A grand killing intent transformed into a surging torrent, pouring towards Chu Mo.

It hadn't even arrived yet.

But the killing intent and Divine Might had already been unleashed, causing the faces of countless surrounding Prodigies to change.

“As expected of a killing Sacred Artifact nurtured from Ten Thousand Swords, its power is truly extraordinary!”

“Ling Xiao being able to subdue it shows his strength!”

“This killing power is indeed incredibly formidable. If I were to face it, I definitely wouldn’t be able to resist!”

“He truly has the right to be arrogant!”

“Let’s see how Chu Mo will respond!”

Many were shocked and began to discuss.

But what was even more curious.

Was knowing how Chu Mo would respond.

After all.

As a hot contender for this year's Sword Tournament of Various Sects, especially after just suppressing the Mo Clan Prodigy, his strength had become a huge mountain weighing on countless hearts.

Knowing Chu Mo's true strength at this moment would determine their subsequent choices.

Whether to continue competing with Chu Mo.

Or to give up completely.

Under the gaze of all.

Chu Mo’s expression was calm, without the slightest fluctuation.

He seemed to completely disregard the fierce killing intent that was about to strike him.

He merely lifted his arm gently and suddenly pushed forward.

Just a push!

There were no other superfluous movements.

“This…”

“Is he trying to resist the edge of this sword with his Physical Body?”

“Ling Xiao’s strength is considerable, and he also carries a flawless sacred weapon in his hand. Its killing edge is incredibly fierce, even a Peak Creation Realm expert cannot resist it, and ordinary Life and Death Realm grandmasters need to temporarily avoid its sharpness, but he actually intends to resist it with his Physical Body?!”

“This is too disrespectful to Ling Xiao!”

Many were dumbfounded, somewhat disbelieving.

Although Ling Xiao was incredibly arrogant, causing many to dislike him.

It had to be said.

This person’s strength was indeed top-tier in the current era and could not be ignored.

But Chu Mo was so careless. Wasn't he afraid…

“Wait!”

“What is that?!”

Just as everyone was still shaking their heads in shock, someone suddenly cried out in surprise.

Countless people instinctively looked over.

They saw that the fierce Sword Qi unleashed by Ling Xiao directly disintegrated when it encountered Chu Mo’s fist print.

Then.

His fist print, with undiminished momentum, like a Divine Mountain suppressing the world, landed on Ling Xiao’s body.

Boom!

Accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion, Ling Xiao himself was sent flying backward, spitting out countless amounts of blood mid-air, and directly smashed onto the edge of the arena, causing the grand formation to shake violently.

“This…”

“This is…”

“Did I see that right?!”

“Chu Mo’s single punch not only withstood the sharpness of a flawless sacred weapon, but also sent Ling Xiao flying backward?!”

When the result of this first clash appeared, countless people’s pupils suddenly contracted, and their eyes showed an incredulous look.

It was no wonder they were so terrified.

This scene before them was indeed too horrifying.

That was a no defect holy weapon!

And it was a killing Sacred Artifact nurtured by the killing intent contained within countless sword artifacts in Ten Thousand Sword Valley!

Its sharpness was among the best even among flawless sacred weapons!

But it was actually shattered by Chu Mo’s single punch like this?

“Terrifying!”

“Simply terrifying to the extreme!”

“To shatter the Sword Qi of a flawless sacred weapon with one punch, what kind of terrifying Physical Body is this?”

“More importantly… Chu Mo’s greatest strength is the Dao of Sword!”

“Hiss!!!”

Prodigies from all sides were shaken, and even many strong individuals present were now pale with fright, all trembling.

On the arena.

“How could I possibly lose?!”

Ling Xiao’s face was ashen, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

He had shown extraordinary talent since birth, being directly established as the first Saint of Haoran Holy Land, and later entered Ten Thousand Sword Valley to Cultivate, only recently emerging.

As he had imagined.

His emergence this time would sweep away his peers and forge an invincible path.

Therefore, initially, he had not taken Chu Mo seriously.

But who knew.

Chu Mo actually suppressed him with one punch on this arena, which made him extremely uncomfortable, and humiliation surged in his heart!

“You lost!”

Looking at Ling Xiao, whose face was pale and eyes full of humiliation, Chu Mo floated in mid-air and spoke indifferently.

“This Saint hasn’t lost!”

This sentence immediately infuriated Ling Xiao, who was still immersed in humiliation: “I’ve Cultivated for over ten years, achieved Transcendent, subdued a flawless sacred weapon, my Heavenly Gifted Roots are astonishing, and I bear the mandate of heaven, how could I lose to you?!”
