Heaven Slaying Blade

Gu Bingbing looked earnestly at Chu Mo, "I truly need your help, and at the same time, I think I also have ways to assist you, sir. Inside this tunnel, I can't claim to have immense power, but at the very least, I can provide you a refuge and some intelligence, which I'm capable of doing."

At this moment, a sudden and powerful wave surged from Canggu City below, and a figure abruptly rose into the air, charging fiercely towards Gu Bingbing.

A wave of divine sense engulfing the entire Canggu City also spread forth simultaneously.

"Wretch... trying to annihilate our families, whoever you are, let's perish together!"

Then, from within this figure's body, erupted an earth-shattering aura of destruction. That aura radiated out in invisible waves, emitting astonishing heat, filling Heaven and Earth, making the person like a burning sun.

"He's going to self-destruct!" Gu Bingbing, who had been calm, couldn't help but reveal a trace of shock on her face, somewhat frightened. After all, this was the first time she had witnessed a scene of a cultivator self-destructing.

Chu Mo had already moved the moment this person charged up!

He directly summoned Chaos Furnace and Heaven's Mirror, two dharma instruments. Back when he faced the ancestral realm's Heavenly Tribulation, these tools had already been refined again. Although their grades hadn't increased, their power was even stronger than before.

At this moment, Gu Bingbing's murmur reached Chu Mo's ears, and he showed a wry smile, thinking: With your kind of reaction, you really might perish together with them.

Clang!

The Heaven Slaying saber swung out, and a scarlet light burst forth.

The two powerful dharma instruments pierced through the void, one above and one below, instantly pinning the figure in place, releasing an unimaginably vast force.

The scarlet light directly sliced through this cultivator's body, immediately cleaving it in half.

But this cultivator, at the cost of burning his life, instantly reformed his severed body. This time, the cost he paid was directly losing a third of his cultivation!

Sliced by Heaven Slaying, trying to reform was no simple task. The killing path on it would crazily destroy everything there, including the opponent's own path!

Otherwise, why was Shalan so furious before but finally suppressed the anger?

It was because Chu Mo was too terrifying!

The cultivator couldn't believe he lost a third of his cultivation in the blink of an eye, and he roared in anger, "If I can't beat you, can't I at least die?"

The power on him grew more terrifying, extremely astonishing, and he was on the verge of complete explosion. Once it exploded, not just Gu Bingbing and Chu Mo in the sky, but the entire Canggu City would suffer.

An ancestral realm cultivator, wanting to ignite their entire cultivation, such destructive power would surely be terrifying like an apocalypse!

Though this person's cultivation was only two-thirds left, that power... was still incredibly terrifying!

"No, you can die, but you can't explode." Chu Mo's divine sense conveyed calmly.

He used his left leg to kick over, simultaneously operating the Nine Word Mantra, directly affecting the time and space here. A faint shadow of a long river of time appeared, emerging right beside the self-destructing cultivator.

Then, Chu Mo's kick landed directly on the cultivator's body.

Bam!

One kick knocked the person into the long river of time.

A flash of light passed through the void, and the figure disappeared without a trace.

All this happened in a fraction of a millisecond.

Only now did Gu Bingbing utter the second half of her sentence, "Run quickly!"

What she meant to say altogether was: He's about to self-destruct, run quickly!

But before she finished her sentence, even using faster divine sense transmission, Chu Mo had already resolved the issue. A cultivator of the ancestral realm was split into two by his saber and then kicked into the long river of time. He's forever unreachable now!

That person might not die, but being swallowed by the long river of time, he'll never leave that river again.

There, undying and unbroken, he'll exist forever. Perhaps with good luck, after endless eons or in eons past, he might still glimpse the scenery outside the river. After all, time is one of the world's most unfathomable things.

No one can truly and completely control this domain.

At least, not here.

Gu Bingbing stared blankly at Chu Mo, murmuring, "The third time... this is the third time you've helped me, and this time, it's the most direct lifesaving favor."

Chu Mo smiled faintly, "As long as Miss Gu doesn't mind me reducing two names on your Edict of the Investiture of the Gods, it's all good." He thought silently in his mind: There might be even more missing in the future!

Even in collaboration, it must be based on equality and freedom. Without equality, without freedom, talking about collaboration is laughable.

Gu Bingbing was slightly startled, then smiled brightly, shaking her head, "Let's go, we should go down and take a look."

With one kick, Chu Mo had sent the self-destructing ancestral realm cultivator into the long river of time, and the remaining leaders of Canggu City's major families finally despaired. They never dreamed that Gu Bingbing would have such a terrifying ally by her side.

First, they forcibly pushed back the Shalan Bandits, and now they've struck again, completely driving them into despair.

The remaining members of the noble families all gave up resisting.

Surrender!

Surrender!

Surrender!

They all surrendered!

Each of them had all their cultivation sealed, turning from the prominent nobles of Canggu City to instant prisoners.

The entire process lasted less than two hours.

Throughout the ordeal, Gu Bingbing did not take action personally, just stood with Chu Mo in the void, watching quietly. Apart from that one previous crisis, Gu Bingbing remained remarkably calm. That kind of composure even earned some admiration from Chu Mo.

These days, he wasn't entirely uninformed. Before Gu Bingbing's arrival, word had already spread throughout Canggu City, with all kinds of information about her flying around. From top to bottom, Canggu City held doubts about Gu Bingbing. They believed that she was unlikely to understand the deeply rooted families within Canggu City, nor to have any means against the fierce Shalan Bandits.

In any case, Canggu City was filled with a pervasive pessimism before Gu Bingbing's arrival. Those noble families were quite pleased, thinking that having a little inexperienced girl come was the perfect outcome. If it were an experienced old guy coming, that would indeed be troublesome.

As a result, Gu Bingbing arrived and first repelled the aggressively advancing Shalan Bandits. Even the leader of the Shalan Bandits, Shalan himself, who was considered a god-like figure by many, left an arm here. That arm still lies quietly in the large pit outside the city!

Although it wasn't Gu Bingbing who took action, does that matter? What everyone in Canggu City wanted was just an outcome!

They just wanted a stable life!

Does the identity of the person who struck matter? Not at all! They only saw that Gu Bingbing arrived, and the Shalan Bandits retreated defeated!

That was enough!

No one expected that an even greater surprise was yet to come.

Gu Bingbing turned out to be so formidable, directly ordering the cleanup of the city's few noble families. Her actions probably seemed mad to countless people.

Even if she could truly destroy these noble families and completely defeat them, what would happen to Canggu City? Eighty percent of the city's enterprises were in the hands of these families. If these families collapse, Canggu City would nearly collapse too.

But Gu Bingbing did it anyway!

Without a moment's hesitation!

Moreover, she achieved the ultimate victory!

When watching millions of the core members of these noble families being sealed and escorted outside Canggu City, the entire Canggu City... instantly erupted!

Canggu City is immensely large, with over a billion residents within its walls.

Imagine the scene when all the people in such a vast ancient city are cheering, what would that be like?

Cheers shook the heavens!

It seemed as though even the sky trembled.

The members of the noble families who had surrendered, each one, wore faces ashen. Only today did they finally understand that their image in the city had reached such a repugnant level. Now, many are internally regretting their previous actions, realizing the seeds they had sown had long since lost the hearts of the people of Canggu City entirely. And today, the "fruit" appeared, the support of Canggu City's people instantly transferred to Gu Bingbing.

And all of this, it was as if they handed it over themselves!

The big families are indeed too large, and their enterprises too many! To say the least, completely clearing these noble families' assets would not only rejuvenate the whole of Canggu City but also could ensure Gu Bingbing doesn't need to worry about resources for hundreds of years!

And this... is merely the surface wealth of these noble families in Canggu City; deeper investigations would surely uncover even more!

Chu Mo accompanied Gu Bingbing into one of the largest families in Canggu City, the Lu Family, and couldn't help but gasp at the resources that had not been removed from the Lu Family's warehouse. These deeply entrenched families were truly wealthy!

Gu Bingbing looked at Chu Mo, smiling and asked, "How do you feel?"

Chu Mo nodded, looking at Gu Bingbing, "I hope our cooperation goes well!"

Gu Bingbing smiled radiantly, "Sir is Bingbing's savior; our cooperation is bound to be exceptionally pleasant!"

With things developing to this stage, it was just left to various conclusions. Sky Patriarch was right. The forty-eight cultivators listed on the Investiture of the Gods, apart from Monkey and a few others, have virtually all commanded a universe!

These people weren't just commanding from above; they had all risen from the ground level step by step. For managing a city like this, any one of them could handle it with proficiency!

At this moment, someone had already begun issuing edicts, recruiting various talents with exceedingly high-level treatment. They promised that as long as the work was done well, there'd be a chance to become a member of the Ancient God Family!

This condition was extremely tempting. The prior varied treatments would undoubtedly entice people, especially since this is a world of cultivation, where everyone requires cultivation resources. As long as ample cultivation resources are offered, certainly, people would be willing to work for you. But this last condition not only moved them but also made them envious!
