Chapter 1591 Shalan Bandits
Watching these seven or eight ancestor-level cultivators rush over, the corner of his mouth twisted into a cold and cruel smile.
Since this is how it is, then all of you should just die!
Boom!
Seven or eight ancestor realm dharma instruments charged directly at Chu Mo.
Chu Mo casually swung his blade!
Chopping wood!
Bam bam bam!
Three ancestor realm dharma instruments were shattered by Chu Mo's single strike.
An explosion resounded in the void.
Chu Mo's arm was slightly numbed by the impact. But instead of retreating, he advanced, his left arm instantly turning golden yellow.
Then, a massive web of lightning erupted from his left arm!
A web of electricity enveloped all these ancestor-level cultivators. Even though they had once passed through the ancestor realm's Heavenly Tribulation, this lightning was fiercer than the power of the Heavenly Tribulation!
On the spot, two ancestor-level cultivators screamed and fell from the sky.
The remaining six ancestor-level cultivators were also seriously injured.
"This lightning... contains terrifying slaying power!" One of the seriously injured ancestor cultivators shouted.
Then, Chu Mo chopped off his head with a single blow.
"The blade carries even more slaying power," Chu Mo said coldly.
At this time, Zi Dao, Ouyang Fei, and Meng Na had already charged forward.
In the face of such a battle, Meng Na was extremely adept, and Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei had fought their way through equally fierce battles in the past. Thus, there was no need for any unnecessary nonsense.
Start killing directly!
Earlier, Chu Mo alone against eight still had these people terrified to the core.
Now with three more joining in, the group of ancestor realm cultivators was instantly overwhelmed.
The Shalan Bandits' four ancestor-level cultivators were in a slightly better position, but only just.
Facing the ferocious Chu Mo and the other three, they soon found themselves at a significant disadvantage.
One of the Shalan Bandits' ancestor-level cultivators let out an earth-shattering roar: "Do you know who you are opposing? By offending the Shalan Bandits, you will have no place to hide throughout the entire tunnel!"
"Since when have the Shalan Bandits become more formidable than the ancient clans?" Meng Na couldn't help but sneer, then slapped across: "Enough nonsense, die!"
Boom!
The void erupted with a huge roar again.
At this time, Canggu City's defense arrays had already been activated to withstand the intense fluctuations from the battle.
This scene infuriated Chu Mo and the others, as Canggu City clearly had strong defensive capabilities, yet allowed a group of peak Great Saint Realm Shalan Bandits to rampage within the city, evidently on purpose!
However, Chu Mo and the others couldn't be bothered with these trivial matters, they just wanted to lend a hand to the innocent people outside.
In less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the Shalan Bandits were already unable to hold their ground, and the several ancestor cultivators from Canggu City were even in a worse state. Having cultivated to such a level, their combat strength naturally shouldn't be lacking, their practice and power equally profound. But they had never experienced such a terrifying battle.
The seemingly couple-like man and woman appeared somewhat normal, but their fighting ability was extraordinary. The other two men, however, were too terrifying!
One had unparalleled combat prowess, possessing immeasurable power with every movement. Especially his left arm, which could control the path of lightning, was simply unbelievable. They had never seen such a cultivator.
Seeing that they were no match, the Shalan Bandits' ancestor-level cultivators along with the two ancestor-level cultivators from Canggu City all developed a retreat intention.
But it wasn't that simple for them to leave. Chu Mo used these ancestor-level cultivators to hone his battle skills, to refine his path. He wanted to become more familiar with his full power. This opportunity in battle, he wouldn't let pass.
Chu Mo fought more bravely with each strike, eventually almost single-handedly contending against three ancestor-level cultivators. The other three took on the remaining three ancestor-level cultivators.
As for the two ancestor-level cultivators previously knocked out of the void by Chu Mo, they had long lost the ability to fight. Struggling below, hoping their companions above could rescue them.
Bam!
Chu Mo's left hand clenched into a fist and fiercely struck the abdomen of a Shalan Bandits' member. This punch, carrying endless thunderbolt power, directly penetrated the ancestor-level cultivator.
The surging thunderbolt power frantically ravaged the body of this ancestor realm Shalan Bandits' cultivator. His ancestor realm physical body smoked under the thunderbolt's attack, and in an instant, was scorched by the terrifying lightning force!
"Ah!"
The ancestral realm member of the Shalan Bandits let out an inhuman howl. His primordial spirit abandoned his physical body, rushed out, and screamed at Chu Mo, "The Shalan Bandits won't let you get away!"
Chu Mo raised his hand and struck down!
Heaven Slaying immediately split the primordial spirit of the ancestral realm Shalan Bandit into two.
Then, Chu Mo used supreme power to begin refining his primordial spirit.
On the other side, two ancestral realm cultivators took the opportunity to turn around and flee.
Chu Mo watched coldly, not giving chase, because he still needed to refine the primordial spirit of the ancestral realm cultivator, wanting to extract some information.
At that moment, Meng Na, Zi Dao, and Ouyang Fei directly injured their own opponents severely. The three ancestral realm cultivators on the other side all fled crazily into the distance.
For cultivators at this level, completely killing them is actually not that easy. Moreover, they almost always leave themselves an escape route.
To achieve such a battle result, in the eyes of Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei, was already quite impressive. There were only four of them, but the opponents had eight. Being in the same realm, yet able to drive the opponents to this degree, truly could be counted as a very shocking grand victory.
But Meng Na was somewhat dissatisfied. He directly flew down below and killed the two struggling ancestral realm cultivators. Then, he took all the dharma instruments and storage instruments from them.
This is the spoils of war, there's no reason not to take them!
A total of eight ancestral realm cultivators, four members of the Shalan Bandits among them, escaped three, and two ancestral realm cultivators from Canggu City escaped.
Chu Mo continuously refined the primordial spirit of the Shalan Bandit member, his face cold, silent, with the posture of completely refining the primordial spirit of the Shalan Bandit ancestral realm cultivator.
The Shalan Bandit member finally felt boundless fear; in the past, he always treated others like this, never considering the horror of having his primordial spirit refined, his cultivation disappearing bit by bit, his consciousness fading little by little—a truly terrifying process.
"Give me a quick death! Don't refine me like this!" This member of the Shalan Bandits was also a very tough person, his primordial spirit roared at Chu Mo.
"Want a quick death? Okay, tell me the whole cause and effect, and reveal the secrets of your Shalan Bandits." Chu Mo looked at his primordial spirit, without stopping the refining, and said flatly.
"You wish!" the Shalan Bandit member's primordial spirit roared, "The Shalan Bandits will definitely avenge me!"
Chu Mo said calmly, "Fine, once your consciousness is completely refined, I will be able to know all your secrets myself!"
"..." The Shalan Bandit member was somewhat panicked, because he knew this ruthless man was speaking the truth. Once his consciousness is completely refined, his primordial spirit will become a pure spiritual body. All secrets will be laid bare!
But this process, for him, is something intolerable!
That kind of slow death while remaining absolutely clear, enduring completely unbearable torture—even as a Shalan Bandit who has tortured countless people, he felt boundless fear when the tables turned.
"What do you want to know? I'll tell you. Just give me a quick death, don't refine me like this." He fell silent, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
"Just tell everything you know yourself." Chu Mo said.
At this moment, Zi Dao, Ouyang Fei, and Meng Na had arrived here too.
Meng Na pouted, saying, "Troublesome, better to slowly refine, then probe with divine sense, you'd know everything. What if this guy lies?"
Chu Mo instantly understood Meng Na's meaning and nodded pensively, "You have a point."
The Shalan Bandit member collapsed directly, pleading, "No, no, please don't continue refining, if my consciousness disappears during the process, many memories will vanish too. I certainly won't lie, ask anything and I'll tell everything!"
If a primordial spirit could shed tears, this Shalan Bandit member's would be flowing already.
Seeing that enough intimidation had been applied, Chu Mo looked at the Shalan Bandit member and asked, "Tell me, where do you get such audacity to rob a major city in the Ancient God Family's territory?"
The Shalan Bandit member looked at Chu Mo with a face full of grievance, lamenting in his heart: So these people know so little and are just passing through? Isn't that absurd, not fearing the Shalan Bandits' retaliation?
Thinking such thoughts, but not daring to voice them, since these people, especially the couple, seemed slightly decent, yet those two are downright demons, more terrifying than any Shalan Bandit!
"The City Lord of Canggu City... once had an agreement with us; we Shalan Bandits wouldn't come here to make trouble, but recently, something happened to the City Lord, he was investigated by the Ancient God Family for corruption, forming private factions, and keeping private soldiers among many charges. Then, our agreement with Canggu City naturally became void. We wanted to seize the chaos to make some big moves..."
Zi Dao on the side asked, "Then why do so many cultivators in Canggu City ignore your actions?"
The Shalan Bandit member said, "They were people of the former City Lord... why bother with such things? The former City Lord left, and it's said a new City Lord is about to take office, bringing 48 strong experts from the Investiture of the Gods. They're all nervous and simply unwilling to meddle in such matters. After all, we wouldn't rob their homes."
New City Lord, 48 strong experts from the Investiture of the Gods... from the Ancient God Family!
Chu Mo and the others exchanged glances instantly, thinking to themselves: Could it be mere coincidence?
These people are the same ones who entered the ancient battlefield with Chu Mo, and the last remaining group, right? So, does that mean the monkey and others... are also in this team?
Chu Mo asked nonchalantly, "What kind of force are the Shalan Bandits? What kind of power do they possess?"
The Shalan Bandit member looked dazedly at Chu Mo, finally unable to hold back, asking bitterly, "You people... don't even know the Shalan Bandits?"
