High Martial Arts: Martial Soul Great Sage Equal to Heaven, crushing all races.

It is located eighty li southeast of Yinjian Mountain.

At the summit of a solitary peak shrouded in dense primeval forest, inside a pavilion, a figure in black robes stood by the railing. His demonic vertical pupils, hidden in the shadows, gazed with great interest at the movements in the direction of Hidden Sword Mountain.

"Tsk tsk, that good-for-nothing Yu Xuanfeng died so quickly."

The man in black robes let out a hoarse chuckle, his voice full of mockery.

"I wasted one of my precious 'Six Desires Bewitching Flowers' and promised him great rewards to attack Feng Mo, only to die an inexplicable death..."

"And those two good-for-nothings, Leng Ning Shuang, even after activating the Ancestral Master's sword, couldn't even scratch Feng Mo."

"They failed to achieve their goal despite preparing two plans. The Mind's Eye Sword Sect is truly... a bunch of useless trash!"

He shook his head, seemingly somewhat disappointed.

"Feng Mo is indeed a prodigy beyond imagination; he must be eliminated as soon as possible. It's just unexpected that he would even succeed Li Changqing as the Thunder Lord..."

"Hmph, so what if it's Lei Jun? He's just a spineless dog! He can protect you for a while, but not forever! Feng Mo, Feng Mo, your life will be mine sooner or later!"

The black-robed man's eyes flashed with resentment and greed, as if he could already see the scene of trampling Feng Mo under his feet and crushing him to death.

He was engrossed in his own schemes, completely unaware that a death sentence from Feng Mo had quietly descended upon him.

……

At the foot of Hidden Sword Mountain.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Feng Mo made a move.

He slowly raised his right hand.

hum!

A stick, entirely made of pure gold and adorned with ancient patterns, suddenly appeared in his palm.

It is indeed the Ruyi Jingu Bang!

"Martial Soul, Combine!"

Feng Mo let out a low shout in his heart, and the Great Sage Martial Soul in his sea of ​​consciousness instantly merged with his physical body.

A domineering fighting spirit soared into the sky!

With a flick of his wrist, he gently sent the seemingly ordinary iron rod towards the southeast.

There was no earth-shattering roar, no world-destroying power.

The crimson gold staff did not thicken; however, at the moment of the strike, the tip seemed to come alive and extended wildly forward!

That wasn't flying, that wasn't throwing, that was growing!

An infinitely elongated golden ray of light, moving at a speed beyond everyone's comprehension, tore through space, pierced through the clouds, and stretched endlessly towards the horizon.

fast.

Extremely fast.

It was so fast that even the air in its path didn't have time to explode.

……

At the summit of a solitary peak, inside a pavilion.

The man in black robes was plotting his next move.

Suddenly, an indescribable, deadly sense of crisis emanating from the depths of his soul made the hairs on his entire body stand on end!

He suddenly looked up, his pupils contracting violently!

Suddenly, a barely perceptible golden dot appeared in the void ahead without warning.

And it rapidly magnified in his field of vision!

What is that?!

The moment the thought arose, the golden light transformed into a golden pillar that pierced the sky, carrying a power that seemed capable of crushing stars into dust, and hurtled straight toward his face!

Before this strike, space and distance lose their meaning.

"No--!"

The man in black robes let out a terrified scream.

His survival instinct made him activate his martial spirit without hesitation.

Too late.

The sixth-tier demon emperor bone jade he wore on his chest shattered into dust with a "crack" before it could even withstand a single breath!

At the critical moment of life and death, the man in black robes unleashed his full potential.

A verdant ancient tree martial spirit, towering a hundred meters tall and radiating a powerful life force, finally materialized behind him!

Countless thick vines, like pythons emerging from their caves, intertwined to form a giant shield, blocking the way.

At the same time, he unleashed both palms, and the boundless wood spirit true energy transformed into streams of azure torrents, fiercely slamming into the golden divine pillar!

He unleashed all the skills he possessed as a peak fifth-tier expert without reservation.

However, all of this seemed so ridiculous in the face of that iron rod from ancient mythology.

Completely destroying everything in its path.

The golden divine pillar touched it gently.

The torrent of azure true energy evaporated instantly.

The giant vine shield was easily pierced, as if it were made of paper.

The towering, evergreen ancient tree martial spirit let out a mournful cry, and starting from its center, it crumbled inch by inch, turning into a shower of light.

The expression on the black-robed man's face was forever frozen in that moment of terror and despair.

puff.

A soft sound.

The Ruyi Jingu Bang pierced his skull with unparalleled precision.

The rod trembled slightly.

boom!!!

An indescribable, terrifying power erupted.

The man in black robes, along with his powerful fifth-tier peak physical body, instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist and dissipated in the wind.

Both body and soul perished.

The golden divine pillar rapidly retracted, transforming into an ordinary iron rod, which fell back into Feng Mo's hand and disappeared.

Feng Mo's face was pale, and his body swayed slightly, but his back remained straight.

[Ding! A peak fifth-tier demonized warrior has been locked onto by your attack, causing mental imbalance and moderate armor penetration. Armor penetration points +10000!]

[Ding! The peak fifth-tier demonized martial artist, having exhausted all his methods, still could not withstand the power of the Ruyi Jingu Bang. His Dao heart shattered, his defenses were severely breached, and his defense penetration points increased by 20000!]

A series of system notifications rang in my mind.

Another 3 defense points have been gained.

Not bad, this was a good deal.

All around, there was a deathly silence.

Everyone stared at him in disbelief.

They couldn't understand why this young general would launch such a shocking attack at an empty, distant place.

But the fleeting golden light and Feng Mo's pale face both indicated that the attack just now was no child's play!

"Glug."

Someone swallowed hard.

"What...what was that just now?"

"I don't know... I only saw a golden light... and then... it was gone..."

"That attack... was so powerful! I felt my soul trembling!"

Yun Wanrou and her two protectors were also deeply shaken.

The power of that attack just now... even they, if they had taken it head-on, would probably have...

Yun Wanrou quickly stepped forward, supported Feng Mo, and asked with concern, "Feng Mo, are you alright? In that attack just now... were there any survivors?"

[Ding! Yun Wanrou and the others are awestruck by your mystery and power. Defense penetration points +5000!]

[Ding! The martial artists of Ding City are filled with awe and fear for your strength. Your defense penetration points have increased by 8000!]

Feng Mo nodded slightly, his breathing a little unsteady: "Yeah, just a fly hiding in the shadows watching the show, I swatted it dead."

A fly...watching a show?

Just casually... slapped him to death?

Feng Mo's casual words, when heard by everyone, were no less than a magnitude 12 earthquake.

What could possibly drive a fourth-tier martial artist to exhaust all their strength and unleash such a powerful attack? It could be an ordinary "fly."

That oppressive aura was clearly something only a peak fifth-tier expert could possess!

The way everyone else looked at Feng Mo completely changed.

If their previous understanding of Feng Mo was that he was a "monstrous talent with unlimited potential and heaven-defying combat power", then...

So now, that perception has evolved into "a meticulous, decisive, and incredibly powerful individual!"

He can not only detect hidden enemies that even fifth-tier experts present cannot perceive, but also kill them with a single blow from nearly a hundred miles away with overwhelming force!

Although his cultivation level is still a bit lacking, his explosive combat power can be considered as that of a peak fifth rank.

Su Mufeng's heart pounded wildly, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He now understood that Feng Mo's silence on the mountaintop wasn't about whether to hold him accountable, but rather about locking onto a target and preparing for a fatal blow!

In other people's eyes, my little schemes are probably no different from those of a clown jumping around on a beam.

Feng Mo ignored the shock of the crowd.

He took a breath, looked at Su Mufeng, and said in a steady voice, "The person hiding in the shadows was most likely a demonized martial artist, whom I have already killed. Send someone to search that solitary peak eighty miles to the southeast; they should be able to find some traces there."

"Yes, General!"

Su Mufeng dared not delay in the slightest and immediately dispatched personnel to investigate via communicator.

Feng Mo continued, "I'll leave the follow-up work on the Mind's Eye Sword Sect to you. Also, arrange for a fighter jet; we'll return to Shanghai immediately."

He paused, then added, "Also, prepare a copy of the Demon Slayer Bureau's internal rules and regulations, as well as all the detailed information about the 'General's' authority. I need to review it on the way."

The trip was very fruitful, not only making him a fortune, but also giving him a preliminary understanding of the power represented by the "Thunder Lord's Decree".

Now that we have such a powerful tool at our disposal, we must thoroughly understand the rules.

Next time, he won't need Yun Wanrou to back him up or guide him.

"Understood!"

Su Mufeng respectfully accepted the order.

With humility and a willingness to learn, and a knack for using his authority, this young general has a limitless future!

Soon, a state-of-the-art military fighter jet landed on the open ground at the foot of Hidden Sword Mountain.

Feng Mo and his group boarded the plane. Under the awe-inspiring gazes of countless martial artists in Ding City, the fighter jet soared into the sky, turning into a black dot and disappearing into the clouds.
