However, Chu Mo was comforted by the fact that none of his friends and family had sent him a message. Perhaps they were all aware of one thing: Chu Mo's feelings for Qi Xiaoyu.
Heaven's Edge Mountain was the tallest mountain in the surrounding area!
It was less than a day's journey from the Shui Clan, but that was still a long distance for cultivators of Chu Mo's level.
The reason why Heaven's Edge Mountain was so famous was because of its unique appearance. It was like an impenetrable fortress that had been there for hundreds of millions of years. Cultivators below the level of a sovereign would find it difficult to climb to the top. Looking from afar, one would feel as if they were standing at the end of the sky. Naturally, one would feel as if they were the only one in the boundless world.
Chu Mo couldn't help but lament as he gazed at the mountain from afar. Nature's uncanny workmanship was truly amazing. Heaven's Edge Mountain, or more accurately, Heaven's Edge Territory, spanned thousands of miles. From afar, one would think that it was a city wall that stretched across the land, exuding an ancient aura.
"A place like this is a good place to gain enlightenment," muttered Chu Mo. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he retreated.
Bang!
There was a loud explosion.
If Chu Mo's movements had been slightly slower, that attack would have been enough to injure him.
"This place is even better for burying bones!" Said a sinister voice. Another ray of light, thin but incomparably sharp, slashed at Chu Mo.
Chu Mo used the Phantom Gale Step to dodge the attack. However, countless rays of light appeared in the sky, forming a giant net that enveloped Chu Mo!
This was a premeditated ambush!
The message on the message board …
Chu Mo immediately realized the reason. He had just destroyed Divine Dan City and was on his way to the Shui Clan, so he had to pass by Heaven's Edge Mountain. Therefore, the enemy had arrived here a step ahead of him and laid down the killing formation in order to wait for him.
If it wasn't for the Firmament Divine Mirror, Chu Mo would have been in big trouble.
Although the Firmament Mirror was powerful, it was impossible to discover the existence of the Firmament Mirror if one did not feel a bit of murderous intent.
Moreover, it was not just one person hiding here, but a group of people!
They were a group of assassins who were as terrifying as the assassin Bu Qu, whom he had killed previously.
Even the auras on their bodies were so similar!
The Firmament Divine Mirror quickly provided information about this group of killers. The strongest among them was only a Sovereign Lord in the Ninth Heaven Realm. The rest ranged from the Eighth Heaven Realm to the Fifth Heaven Realm. Thirty-two people in total!
In terms of the number of people, there weren't many of them, far less than the group that Qin Guangyuan had brought before. In terms of cultivation realm, they did not seem to be very strong. Chu Mo had already killed more than one Ninth Heaven Emperor Lord! Moreover, they were all from the Qin Clan.
Even Qin Guangyuan, a Quasi-Supreme-Being, had his Supreme-Being weapon broken by Chu Mo's blade. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and fled.
Logically speaking, these thirty-two people should not pose any threat to Chu Mo.
But in reality, that was not the case!
Just like the rule of "the higher the cultivation realm, the stronger" did not work on Chu Mo, it did not work on these thirty-two killers either!
Their cultivation realm was not as high as the Qin Clan's cultivators, but their abilities were extremely strong.
In particular, their assassination abilities were even more shocking. They could appear and disappear unpredictably. With the help of the Firmament Mirror, Chu Mo already had three bone-deep wounds on his body in less than 30 minutes!
And in this 30 minutes, Chu Mo had only killed two Fifth Heaven Emperor Lords and severely injured one Sixth Heaven Emperor Lord.
As for the rest, they were even more slippery than loaches. Their attack routes were too strange, and they cooperated very well with each other.
They did not fight with Chu Mo head-on at all. Instead, they waited for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
A few powerful Emperors oversaw and were responsible for operating the formation, trapping Chu Mo inside.
The formation they set up did not have any offensive ability, but it could trap people inside. If no one attacked, Chu Mo was confident that he could easily break this formation and leave.
But now, he could only blame himself for being careless.
Shui Yiyi was such a smart woman, but this time … she also made the mistake of "empiricism."
Because in everyone's opinion, the Chu Clan's power was completely unstoppable. The Qin Clan was already like a drowning dog, and did not dare to appear in front of the world. And Chu Mo was an existence that could defeat a Quasi-Supreme Realm Power!
In the entire cultivation world, how many people could pose a threat to him?
Therefore, Shui Yiyi had never thought that Chu Mo would be intercepted on his way to the Shui Clan.
Although Chu Mo was very clear that the Blood Demon Ancestor's lackeys were still hiding in the Heaven Realm and were ready to attack him at any time. But he did not expect them to appear at Tianya Mountain.
On the path of cultivation, one had to be careful and vigilant at all times. Otherwise, it was very likely that one would be ambushed and killed when one was at the peak of one's glory.
Since ancient times, such cases were not rare at all.
Chu Mo did not have time to blame himself. He started to operate the Nine Secret Words and faced the enemies calmly.
Once they got serious, the difference between the two sides was obvious.
Although this group of cultivators from the mysterious assassin clan, the Bu Clan, were proficient in the art of assassination, their real combat power was not high.
With the advance warning from the Firmament Divine Mirror, this group of assassins' biggest reliance, the art of concealment, had lost its effect. The reason why they could still injure Chu Mo was purely because of their excellent cooperation and the formation they had set up beforehand.
Pfft!
Crack!
One of the assassins, whose palm was as sharp as a blade, originally wanted to stab into Chu Mo's body. However, the moment it stabbed into Chu Mo's back, it immediately seemed to have encountered an indestructible obstacle and was directly blocked there. Then, there was a crisp sound of bones breaking.
The assassin had used too much power. Practically all of his power had been concentrated on this palm strike. Hence, he had suffered a complete tragedy.
The bones in his palm, from the phalanges to the metacarpals … were all broken in an instant!
The ten fingers were connected to the heart. This was also the case for cultivators.
This assassin let out an extremely suppressed cry of pain, and his face became extremely distorted.
Chu Mo used his left elbow to hit the assassin's chest hard.
Pfft!
The assassin immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
Crack!
His chest directly collapsed, and all his sternum was broken. Even his heart was directly smashed by Chu Mo's blow!
Clang!
Another assassin, holding an extremely sharp dagger, fiercely stabbed it below Chu Mo's ribs. Unexpectedly, there was a sound of metal colliding, and it actually did not stab into his ribs.
Chu Mo turned around and stabbed back with his knife!
It directly stabbed between the assassin's eyebrows!
The assassin's eyebrows were pierced, and he died on the spot!
An injury in exchange for a life!
Chu Mo did not want to waste time with this group of people at all.
He had said that he would arrive at the Shui Clan at that time, and that was the time.
As a person, he should be trustworthy.
