Heaven Slaying Blade

The dozen or so cultivators at the peak of the Great Saint Realm were completely subdued by this band of madmen from the Investiture of the Gods list. This wasn't just a group of cultivators; they were clearly a group of maniacs!

No wonder nearly all the bigwigs in the Tunnel, despite looking down on those beings on the Investiture of the Gods list, considering them mere slaves or fish on a hook, had a secret desire to acquire more Edicts of the Investiture of the Gods, to have more of these "gods."

Gu Bingbing laughed and said, "Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities for battle. We will soon have our chance! Get ready, let's go now to Canggu City! From now on, that will be our territory! There, we call the shots!"

Beneath the Ancient God Mountain, this peerlessly graceful young woman, with her radiant demeanor as if glowing, looked like a painting, eternally residing in people's hearts.

At the same time, Chu Mo and his companions finally arrived at the first city they encountered after entering the Tunnel.

This city was vast and ancient, exuding a sense of age and desolation.

"Canggu City? Is this the territory of the Ancient God Family? Why is it so chaotic?" Zi Dao frowned, looking at the chaotic crowd outside the city, muttering to himself.

"It is indeed a bit chaotic. Given the power level of the Ancient God Family, a city of this size in their territory shouldn't be like this at all," Ouyang Fei, who had once been in the Tunnel for some time, was also surprised by this phenomenon.

At this moment, a team of about a dozen cultivators riding strange beasts suddenly charged out from Canggu City.

All those cultivators were clad in armor, wearing black and icy dharma instrument masks, their appearances hidden. But from their beings emanated an aura of cruelty and bloodlust. This pervasive aura, combined with the terrifying beasts they rode, made them appear like demons.

"The Shalan Bandits have charged out, run!"

"We've already escaped, why are they still chasing us?"

A chorus of cries and screams echoed as countless people fled in all directions.

The dozen or so riders on strange beasts remained silent, attacking directly, leaving a trail of corpses in their wake.

A thick stench of blood arose, and outside Canggu City, blood flowed like a river.

Chu Mo, Zi Dao, Ouyang Fei, and Meng Na were all left dumbfounded.

"Even in the city of the Ancient God Family, people dare to act so recklessly?" Zi Dao felt his mind struggling to comprehend.

They stood far away, and those dozen cultivators didn't notice their presence, continuing to massacre those fleeing from the city.

These people weren't all powerful cultivators; most of them were lowly in cultivation, likely just the common civilians of Canggu City.

"This is too much! How can these people behave like this?" Ouyang Fei's face turned pale with anger, then she looked at Zi Dao and said, "Aren't we going to do something?"

Meng Na whispered, "I think, before we figure out what's going on, it's best not to meddle in others' affairs."

For a pure Gray Land creature like Meng Na, such occurrences were commonplace, nothing extraordinary. Just a group of useless wretches dying. If one couldn't stand such things, they might not survive a day in the Gray Land.

See injustice, draw the sword to help?

Perhaps before your sword is drawn, you would already be cut down!

Ouyang Fei, having cultivated to her current realm, was not exactly a saint either. If someone crossed her, she would draw her sword to fight back as well. But the problem was, all those battles had causes and consequences!

If others do not provoke me, I will not provoke others; this is the principle for most cultivators.

What was happening outside Canggu City? It was clearly a one-sided massacre.

In Chu Mo's heart, a wave of anger stirred; he could not stand this kind of scene either. No matter how much he had cultivated, he still could not tolerate such unwarranted bullying of the weak.

Especially among those fleeing were many innocent children, powerless elders, and women. The highest among them were not even at the supreme level.

To ordinary people, they were akin to gods. But in this Tunnel, to these bandits, these old, weak, women, and children... were just mortals!

A woman was crying out, "Kill me, kill me, but please do not harm my child, he understands nothing, he is just a child!"

The bandit riding a gigantic beast, holding a long knife, reeking of blood, let out an icy laugh from behind his dharma instrument mask, and then he raised his long blade. Lifting it high, ready to cut down the woman and the child.

With this slash, both the mother and child would lose their heads.

The woman pleaded desperately, while the frightened child hid in her arms, too scared to make a sound.

Yet the bandit did not hesitate at all and brought the long knife down fiercely.

He seemed to have already envisioned the blood splatter, the heads being chopped off. His favorite scene... was precisely this kind of scene.

Exhilarating!

It made his blood boil with excitement.

The feeling was indescribably delightful!

But just as he was about to slash down, the Shalan Bandit member appeared to see a light flash across his eyes. Then, he felt his blood boil all over. A sense of emptiness spread through his head.

And then, he knew nothing more.

The child hiding in the woman's arms, however, widened his eyes and watched as the bad guy who was about to kill him and his mother suddenly lost his head!

The child screamed in fright, closed his eyes, and then large teardrops began to flow from his tightly shut eyes. He opened his mouth... ready to cry.

Zi Dao, Ouyang Fei, and Meng Na didn't even notice how Chu Mo disappeared!

As cultivators of the same realm, this not only shocked them immensely but also filled them with a profound sense of defeat.

Chu Mo, after beheading the brutal bandit leader, decided to carry on thoroughly. Like a god descending to the mortal realm, he wielded the blood-red Heaven Slaying sword, and in the blink of an eye, cut down a dozen more bandits to the ground!

One strike for each, straightforward and efficient.

And at an unimaginable speed!

These dozen members of the Shalan bandits, although lacking anyone in the ancestral realm, were all cultivators in the Great Saint Realm. They had spent their lives leaving bodies in their wake, with incredibly powerful combat strength and a sense of danger far beyond ordinary people's.

Even those ancestor realm cultivators of the great families might not be more perceptive than them.

But against Chu Mo's blade, not a single one of these formidable cultivators could evade!

By the time Zi Dao, Meng Na, and the others rushed over, all thirteen members of the Shalan bandits had been cut down by Chu Mo alone.

The sinister power of Heaven Slaying was beyond words. With one slash, not only the body perished...but the soul was extinguished and the path obliterated!

There was not a single fish that slipped through the net!

Outside Canggu City, there was a dead silence. The thousands who had fled stood dumbfounded, watching this scene; even now, they still felt a sense of unreality. It all seemed like a dream.

At this moment, a child's cry finally echoed outside Canggu City.

Waa!

The whole world seemed to come alive instantly.

Then, as this crowd blinked, they discovered that the figure had already disappeared.

Some with cultivation in the Emperor Realm barely caught a glimpse of three residual shadows flashing by.

"The great ones from the Ancient God Family came to save us!"

"We are saved!"

"Damn Shalan bandits, heaven-cursed beasts, mother, you can rest in peace now!"

"My child, close your eyes. The lords of the Ancient God Family have come to kill these damned bandits!"

In Canggu City, on the wide streets, there was hardly a pedestrian in sight; the entire city emptied, reaching a peak of desolation.

A few powerful ancestral realm cultivators, dressed almost identically to those slaughtered by Chu Mo, were confronting several other ancestral realm cultivators. In the vast city, several groups of a dozen bandits went on a rampant looting spree.

Chu Mo leaped into the sky and saw it all clearly.

Those bandit squads had incredibly clear objectives and robbed at extreme speed.

Moreover, they deliberately bypassed certain places, each emanating strong auras, yet not a single person stood out to stop them.

"A bunch of beasts!" Chu Mo cursed coldly. It was unclear whether he was cursing the Shalan bandits or the big families in the city who stood by and did nothing.

Chu Mo's appearance broke the stalemate among those ancestral realm cultivators.

A Shalan bandit ancestral realm cultivator wearing a black dharma instrument mask looked at Chu Mo with icy hostility: "Mind your own business, walk away now, and I can pretend I didn't see that group of my men you just killed."

Chu Mo said nothing, raising his hand for another strike.

A blood-red blade light instantly cut through the void, and the next moment, it appeared in front of the ancestral realm cultivator.

This ancestral realm cultivator let out a roar; a majestic aura burst from his body, then he raised his hand to strike too.

Clang!

The blade broke, the hand broke, half the body... broke!

"Ah!"

This ancestral realm member of the Shalan bandits let out an earth-shattering roar, his body instantly reassembled, and then he stared at Chu Mo in horror, as if still refusing to believe this person could sever his flesh with one strike.

Chu Mo, however, didn't give him any chance, striking once more.

By this time, the other ancestral realm members of the Shalan bandits also reacted and rushed at Chu Mo with a roar.

What shocked Chu Mo immensely was that the previously opposing ancestral realm cultivators also... attacked him!

"This..." Chu Mo was somewhat bewildered.

But his movements weren't slow at all, retreating immediately, vanishing tens of thousands of miles away in an instant. Standing in the void, watching this group charging at him, Chu Mo's expression turned exceedingly cold.

He began to understand that these people earlier were merely putting on a show!

For whom?

Obviously for some people in the Ancient God Family!

To say Chu Mo really shouldn't involve himself in this. Because there would inevitably be disputes with the Ancient God Family in the future.

If he wanted to depart with the monkeys, it was impossible to have no conflict with the Ancient God Family.

But now, Chu Mo was genuinely enraged.
