I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 34 Resurrection from the dead?
In fact, the bald man, as the second-in-command among the bandits, was quite confident in his abilities. Even after seeing the henchman kill his eldest and third brothers in succession, he still felt that the other party was relying on the effect of a sneak attack.

If it were a head-on confrontation, the bald man felt confident.

Perhaps it was because Chen Mo's actions were so ruthless and decisive that it instilled fear in him.

The other dozen or so bandits were still more than ten meters away from the bald man. But the servant was charging straight at him, which was extremely frightening, and he couldn't retreat even if he wanted to.

But the bald man had been a bandit for many years, a life of constant danger and bloodshed, and was a seasoned veteran. He quickly recovered and raised his broadsword to slash at Chen Mo.

"You only attacked me by surprise just now. Now that we're facing each other head-on, do you think I'm afraid of you?!"

when!
Swords and axes clashed, their sharp clashes echoing throughout the training ground. The ground shook, and snow flew everywhere.

The so-called straight to the point.

With a single blow, the bald man was forced to retreat, his hand split open and bleeding. He was already panicking.

'This person is young, yet his vital energy is so abundant, he's no less than my elder brother. He's clearly a master at the fifth level of the Bloodline Breakthrough Realm. I'm no match for him; it's best to leave now.'

After only one round of fighting, the bald man began to consider retreating.

But how could Chen Mo give him a chance to escape? He raised the giant axe in his hand and slashed forward wildly.

In an instant, his blood and qi surged, unleashing boundless power. Chen Mo swung the massive axe like a kitchen knife, its movements both agile and unpredictable, yet powerful and deadly. The bald man could only parry with his knife, fighting and retreating.

Even so, after only a few rounds, the bald man felt as if all the bones in his body were about to be shattered. His hands were split open, and his thumb was about to break off.

Although they are at the same level of cultivation, their power is on completely different levels.

It was almost a one-sided crushing defeat.

At this moment, Zhou Liang finally realized the reason: wasn't that servant the second young master? What a clever scheme!
Thinking of this, Zhou Liang didn't hesitate any longer. He drew his knife and slashed at the dozen or so bandits in front of him. "Young Master is mighty! Let's all attack together and crush these bandits!"

Wei Heng and Liu Jiang followed closely behind.

The other guards, emboldened by Chen Mo's actions, drew their swords and charged forward.

Without Liu Mazi and Axe Man as their leaders, how could the other bandits be a match for Zhou Liang?
It quickly turned into a one-sided situation.

The martial arts arena was filled with deafening shouts under the cover of night. Blood gushed out, spilling across the ground, only to be quickly buried by the falling snowflakes.

"Brother, please spare me. This was all Liu Mazi's idea, it has nothing to do with me." The bald man, who had been carrying more than a dozen axes, finally got scared and humbly begged for peace.

Chen Mo's giant axe did not stop; instead, he chopped even more fiercely.

At this moment, Chen Mo felt a burning fighting spirit and a thrilling surge of adrenaline.

Wielding the giant axe with unbridled joy, caught in the vortex of battle, experiencing the thrill of life-or-death combat.

I never imagined that fighting so hard would be so addictive.

My courage soared, and I was so excited my bones felt numb.

For over three months after his transmigration, Chen Mo had been practicing martial arts relentlessly, initially solely to cure his madness and gain the ability to protect himself in this chaotic world.

At this moment, I deeply feel that the battle itself is an exhilarating thing.

"Now that you've entered the gates of my Chen residence, then... none of you will survive. Your eldest brother and third brother are both gone, how can you possibly live alone?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Mo gripped the axe handle tightly with both hands and chopped down hard.

The bald man raised his sword to block, but heard a "clang".

The knife was broken by the axe.

The axe, its power undiminished, swung downwards, cleaving the bald man's body in two.

The bald man died before he could even utter a sound.

Even so, the axe did not stop after splitting the bald man's body open, but continued to strike the ground hard, smashing up the snow and shaking the earth. The pine and cypress trees in the distance were also swaying.

The entire audience was taken aback.

Seeing their three leaders dead, the remaining bandits lost all will to fight back. They fled in panic, only to be slaughtered by the guards.

Not a single person was left alive.

Only corpses remained on the ground, blood flowing everywhere. The thick stench of blood permeated the entire training ground, lingering for a long time.

call!
Chen Mo took a deep breath, dropped the axe, and coldly glanced at the bald man who had been split in two. "A family should travel together, shouldn't they?"

"But it's pretty boring, too. I was just warming up when you were gone."

Chen Mo clapped his hands, feeling rather guilty for not having done his best.

In fact, Chen Mo had already reached the fifth level of the Blood Realm not long ago. He had mastered the Fuyang Blade Technique and the Xuanyin Hand Technique. Only the Bloodfire Seal was still incomplete.

It was only because the opposing team had too many experts that Chen Mo and Chen Yinfu came up with this plan.

It was done out of caution at the time.

After all, Chen Mo didn't know his actual combat strength.

Now it seems...

That's being overly cautious.

There's no need for that; we could have easily swept them aside.

But Chen Mo didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In chaotic times, it's always good to be cautious.

"The Second Young Master is incredibly powerful!"

At this moment, Zhou Liang walked over carrying a knife, his face flushed with excitement. "He has become a master of the Blood Rush Realm after only a few months of martial arts training. If it weren't for the Second Young Master's careful planning and the elimination of the three leaders, the Chen family would have been in trouble today."

Seeing Zhou Liang walking unsteadily, covered in blood, Chen Mo felt a pang of pity and stepped forward to help him up. "Thanks to Uncle Zhou, you bought me some time."

Looking up, he saw over thirty guards in the distance, all wounded yet valiant, standing ramrod straight. Their gazes were fixed on Chen Mo with intense intensity—admiration, awe, and recognition…

Looking again at the bandits' corpses lying in the snow, Chen Mo was suddenly deeply moved.

If it weren't for the Chen family having such a group of brave guards, they probably wouldn't have been able to get through this crisis so easily.

While this was thanks to the excellent teaching of Chen Yinfu and Zhou Liang, these men themselves were all respectable and worthy warriors. With such guards, the Chen family had a promising future.

It's important to understand that the guards hired by other wealthy families are mostly on a transactional basis. If the master of the house were in a life-or-death situation, the guards wouldn't be so willing to risk their lives.

We're all martial artists, we have no worries about making a living. Why would we risk our lives for our master for a few coins?
Moved by the experience, Chen Mo almost instinctively straightened up and bowed to all the guards, saying, "Today, my Chen family has overcome this crisis, and I thank all of you brave warriors. Please go back to your rooms to change your clothes, and I will ask a doctor to treat your injuries. In a few days, my father and I will host a banquet to express our gratitude."

People in the martial arts world are not just about chivalry and righteousness, nor are they simply about fighting and killing; they are also about understanding human relationships and worldly affairs.

Those who are worth cultivating should be cultivated. Those who are worth winning over should be won over.

If Chen Mo, simply because he is the young master of the main family, acts superior and bosses around the guards, the guards, though they may not say anything, will certainly be unhappy. This would be detrimental to the long-term development of the Chen family.

The guards were extremely excited, praising the second young master, and then dispersed to heal their wounds.

Zhou Liang didn't leave. He instructed a few quick-footed servants to dispose of the body. He also needed to report to the yamen (government office) to avoid further trouble.

The Chen family has been a prominent household for decades, and they have a set of procedures for handling all kinds of emergencies. Once the procedures are followed, other miscellaneous matters will be handled by others.

While the servants were cleaning up the bodies, Chen Yinfu hurriedly walked up to Chen Mo, his face full of concern, "Are you hurt?"

Chen Mo then suppressed his lingering excitement and cupped his hands, saying, "I am unharmed. It was thanks to Father's convincing acting that Liu Mazi did not become suspicious."

Chen Yinfu gripped Chen Mo's shoulders tightly, his eyes brimming with tears of emotion, nodding repeatedly. "It is my son who is brave and wise. I, as his father, have only done some minor things."

"Good, good! My son has really grown up and can stand on his own now. I'm truly happy from the bottom of my heart. Leave things here to your Uncle Zhou. You come with me to see your mother; she's a woman, and she's worried sick right now."

Zhou Liang, who was standing nearby, also said, "Second Young Master, please go and see Madam. I only suffered some minor injuries, it's nothing serious. Leave the cleanup to me."

Chen Mo nodded and followed Chen Yinfu toward the central courtyard.

I had only taken two steps when I suddenly heard a scream behind me, which sounded particularly eerie in the quiet night.

Chen Mo suddenly stopped and turned around, only to see that a servant who was collecting Liu Mazi's body had his head crushed by Liu Mazi. And Liu Mazi actually stood up from the snow.

hiss!
Chen Mo took a deep breath.

This is impossible...

Liu Mazi's head was pierced with a huge hole...
