23: Chapter 23 Enough is enough, just stab him to death.

"So he is a blood-sucking demon?"

The crowd scattered instantly.

"How dare you!"

Zhao Mo said angrily.

Zhao Mo knew that people had recently died from blood loss in the Xuan Sect, but he had always assumed it was just a rumor. After all, the Xuan Sect was on the Righteous Path; how could those Immortal Masters and True Monarchs allow such things to happen?

It wasn't until now, when he saw Liu Daqiang sucking blood with his own eyes.

"Shut up."

By the time Zhao Mo arrived, the person caught by Liu Daqiang was already pale and clearly on the verge of death.

"You really deserve to die."

Zhao Mo had originally been holding back. After all, the Liu Family was far too influential in the Xuan Sect; it was not something he could afford to provoke.

But seeing Liu Daqiang sucking blood in public, he simply couldn't hold back anymore.

Bang.

The iron stake slammed directly into Liu Daqiang's body, emitting a loud sound.

Liu Daqiang, who had been knocked flying, seemed not to feel pain. He stared at someone who was running slowly and chased after them again.

"Ah~"

"Help me~"

Zhao Mo was stunned for a moment, and another person had already been killed. The speed at which Liu Daqiang sucked blood far exceeded Zhao Mo's expectations.

Having sucked the blood of two people in a row, Liu Daqiang's face was flushed, and his body seemed to have grown a size larger, looking much stronger.

"Come on, come on! Come beat your grandpa to death, or get beaten to death by your grandpa!"

Perhaps because he had consumed too much blood, Liu Daqiang seemed to have lost his sanity. He threw his broadsword aside and walked toward Zhao Mo with his bare hands.

Seeing that Liu Daqiang was courting death by throwing away his sword, Zhao Mo could not miss such a good opportunity. He raised the iron stake and stabbed at him.

"Hmm?"

Zhao Mo put his full strength into the strike, using the iron stake refined by Ding Xin's sister, but it failed to pierce Liu Daqiang's skin.

"Go to hell!"

Bang.

Zhao Mo's Move had already spent its force, and he couldn't defend in time, taking a punch from Liu Daqiang head-on.

A wave of intense pain spread from his abdomen throughout his entire body, making Zhao Mo vomit bile.

"Damn it, you go to hell!"

Since the iron stake couldn't pierce Liu Daqiang's skin, Zhao Mo swung the iron stake and used it like a club.

This iron stake strike landed squarely on Liu Daqiang's left temple.

The brain matter splattering that Zhao Mo imagined did not happen; this blow only knocked Liu Daqiang over.

"Fine, fine, fine, high defense, is that it?"

Zhao Mo also became ruthless and swung hard at Liu Daqiang's head.

Bang, bang, bang.

He didn't know how many times he had hit him, but Liu Daqiang finally lay on the ground like a dead fish, motionless.

"Still not dead?"

Zhao Mo looked at the weakly breathing Liu Daqiang, wondering whether to finish him off right there.

Just then, three Disciples dressed in black descended from the sky.

"Xuan Sect Law Enforcement Hall."

"Nobody Move."

"Where is the blood-sucking demon?"

Hearing that it was the Law Enforcement Hall, Zhao Mo didn't dare to Move. He had been in the Xuan Sect for nearly thirty years, and this was the first time he had seen Disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall.

On the other side, someone had already pointed Liu Daqiang out to the three Law Enforcement Hall Disciples.

"Who are you?"

"Why are you fighting with someone in Xiao Ji Village?"

Zhao Mo said: "I am Zhao Mo. I live here. This madman wanted to kill me; shouldn't I be allowed to fight back?"

"Fighting back is allowed, but fighting is prohibited in areas like Xiao Ji Village. You are fined ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. Bring them to the Law Enforcement Hall tomorrow."

The Law Enforcement Hall Disciple didn't even give Zhao Mo a chance to explain, directly fining him ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

Fortunately, they also took Liu Daqiang away and carried off the two corpses, which made Zhao Mo feel slightly more balanced.

"I hope the Xuan Sect can handle this matter fairly."

The next day, Zhao Mo honestly went to the Law Enforcement Hall to pay the ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and returned to Xiao Ji Village.

"Oh, thank goodness last night's fight didn't affect the spirit rice fields." Upon returning, Zhao Mo looked at his spirit rice fields and said with relief.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Ding Xin appeared, wearing large dark circles under his eyes.

"What's going on?"

"Did a blood-sucking demon really appear in the Xuan Sect?"

Zhao Mo said: "What blood-sucking demon? It was clearly Liu Daqiang, alright? I don't know what kind of evil technique that guy Cultivated."

"Not only is his Cultivation now at Foundation Establishment, but he also sucks human blood. Last night, I personally watched him suck the blood of two people."

Ding Xin looked at Zhao Mo strangely: "Liu Daqiang? Why is everyone saying it's a blood-sucking demon this morning?"

Zhao Mo frowned, "What are they saying outside? Tell me about it."

Ding Xin said: "Last night, a blood-sucking demon sneaked into Xiao Ji Village and was caught on the spot by Law Enforcement Hall Disciples. Upon investigation, it was a mutated bat demon that liked to suck human blood. All the people who recently died in the Xuan Sect were killed by it."

"That's roughly the idea." Ding Xin briefly described it to Zhao Mo.

Zhao Mo didn't expect that in just one night, the truth of the matter would turn into this.

A blood-sucking demon? That was clearly Liu Daqiang.

This was obviously the work of someone from the Liu Family.

"Forget it, let it be a blood-sucking demon. As long as Liu Daqiang doesn't come looking for me, I'll accept it."

As for the two deceased Qi Refining Stage Cultivators, Zhao Mo could only sigh, hoping the Xuan Sect wouldn't let them die in vain.

...

【You have completed the spirit rice harvest, EXP + 10.】

【Reward: After one hundred and fifty-eight days of careful tending, your spirit rice fields have had a bountiful harvest, EXP + 100.】

"System."

【Farmer: Zhao Mo】

【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Level 1 (Insufficient EXP, cannot upgrade)】

【EXP: 390 / 600】

【Reward: None】

Three hundred and ninety EXP a year; it would take two years to Breakthrough to the next Realm. Zhao Mo was anxious.

In last night's battle with Liu Daqiang, if Zhao Mo hadn't been a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he would likely be buried in the ground by now.

This was the moment Zhao Mo had most craved higher Cultivation since coming down the mountain.

Moo.

While Zhao Mo was dazed, the sound of Ox Martial woke him up.

"Someone?"

Zhao Mo looked up at the gate.

Dressed in red, with a red cloak, and a hood covering his head.

Zhao Mo recognized his true identity at a glance from this figure.

"Liu Daqiang."

"Not bad, good eye."

"Didn't expect I could still appear here, did you?"

"You, a piece of trash with no background, actually managed to Cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Realm so quickly. I admit I underestimated you."

"Now I am serious."

Zhao Mo didn't pay attention to this nonsense and instead asked: "After entering the Law Enforcement Hall, how were you able to get out?"

Killing Mortals and Qi Refining Stage Cultivators should logically result in having one's Cultivation crippled and being expelled from the Xuan Sect.

Liu Daqiang laughed out loud: "I can only say you are ignorant and ill-informed, not even knowing the surname of the Law Enforcement Hall Master."

Hearing this, Zhao Mo knew the Law Enforcement Hall Master must be surnamed Liu.

"Hehehe, Zhao, let me tell you, we aren't finished. Don't you like farming?"

"I am here today to notify you in advance that your spirit rice fields are going to be reclaimed by the Sect, starting tomorrow."

"Hahaha~ By then, you will be a homeless little piece of trash."

After saying this, Liu Daqiang intended to leave.

Zhao Mo appeared in front of him, holding the iron stake. "Did I say you could leave?"

Liu Daqiang lifted his hood, revealing his ugly face, and said arrogantly: "What?"

"Do you want to stop me?"

"Or kill me?"

"If you want to kill me, just do it."

"Come on, come on, stab right here. Don't let me look down on you."

Liu Daqiang puffed out his chest and kept pressing against Zhao Mo's iron stake.

It could only be said that when not sucking blood, Liu Daqiang's intelligence was fully online. He clearly knew how to use the power behind him to pressure Zhao Mo.

"Fine, since you want to die, I will just fulfill your wish."

Zhao Mo thrust the iron stake forward, and the tip pierced through Liu Daqiang's back.

"If you can't stand it anymore, just stab him to death; otherwise, why the hell am I even Cultivating the Dao?"
