Chapter 39 I'm just taking a break, how did I become an accomplice?

Meanwhile, not far from Chen Mo.

The sound of metal clashing and shouts and curses shattered the tranquility of the mountains.

A slender woman dressed in black, her face veiled, held a pair of short knives.

He was engaged in a fierce battle with two old women, one wielding an iron cane and the other a broadsword, as well as a dozen servants armed with various weapons.

The woman in black was ruthless and fierce in her swordsmanship, her moves carrying a resolute determination that disregarded life and death.

However, the other side had a large number of people, especially the two old women, who were highly skilled, had vicious moves, and cooperated very well.

As the wind howled, the woman in black was forced to retreat repeatedly.

At this moment, the woman in black had her clothes torn on her shoulder and left leg, and blood soaked through her clothes. She was breathing rapidly.

Even his steps began to falter, clearly indicating that he was at his last gasp, and was only holding on by sheer willpower.

"Hehehe!!"

One of the women, an old woman with white hair, a fleshy face, and an extremely obese appearance, let out a strange laugh.

Her broadsword was pointed directly at the woman in black. "You little bitch, you can't escape!"

"You killed the lady's beloved maid and dared to assassinate the lady herself. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you will not survive!"

Another old woman chimed in menacingly, "Surrender and we'll give you a quick death!"

"Otherwise, I will definitely capture you and take you back to Mantuo Manor to be used as fertilizer!"

"Pooh!"

The woman in black spoke in an icy tone, "Enough with the nonsense, kill me if you dare!"

"You want me to surrender? Dream on!"

She wielded her short knife even more rapidly, employing a fighting style that resulted in mutual destruction.

For a moment, the two old women and several servants dared not press too hard.

"what?!"

The obese old woman suddenly caught sight of Chen Mo sitting cross-legged under the tree out of the corner of her eye. Startled, she hurriedly whispered, "Wait! Someone's here!!"

Upon hearing this, another old woman abruptly stopped her iron cane from striking the woman in black in the back.

Along with the other servants, they all turned to look in the direction of the sound, their faces showing wariness.

In this desolate valley, the sudden appearance of a stranger forced them to be on guard.

When they realized that Chen Mo was just a little monk, they instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought he was some kind of reclusive master!

The obese old woman narrowed her eyes, resuming her usual arrogant and domineering demeanor. "Where did this little monk come from? Sneaking around like this!"

"Tell me, what are you doing here in this desolate wilderness all by yourself?!"

"Amitabha!"

Chen Mo coughed lightly, put his hands together in a gesture of respect, and said with a smile, "Greetings, benefactors."

"This humble monk is merely passing through and is simply taking a short rest here."

"You don't need to pay attention to me, just continue!"

After he finished speaking, he made a 'please' gesture.

One of the servants immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Grandma Rui, Grandma Ping, this little bald monk is probably in cahoots with that slut."

"Oh, how so?"

“This is a desolate wilderness, and that bastard just happened to escape here. Plus, I think that little bald monk has been sitting here for a long time.”

The man pointed to the fallen leaves around Chen Mo, which were evenly spread out without any signs of being trampled, indicating that he had been sitting quietly for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Granny Rui's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "That makes sense. We'll collect the reward when we get back to the manor."

"Thank you... thank you so much, Grandma Rui!"

The servant was overjoyed. "It's all thanks to Granny Rui's excellent teaching. I was just adding to the glory."

"Even without a little reminder, I believe both mothers-in-law would have noticed these minor details."

Granny Rui waved her hand, then turned to Chen Mo and sneered, "Just passing by? Trying to fool this old woman?!"

"Humph!"

"I can tell from your appearance that you were one of this little bitch's people, here to provide backup!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo was both amused and exasperated. "Amitabha, monks do not lie."

"Besides..."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the veiled woman in black. "This humble monk has never met this female benefactor before!"

"We're complete strangers?!"

Granny Rui sneered and slammed her iron cane heavily on the ground. "What a coincidence!"

"Why did this little bitch have to run here of all places? I think you're all accomplices!"

Before she could finish speaking, the woman in black suddenly spoke in a cold voice, her tone tinged with disdain, "Pah!"

“Who’s an accomplice of this little bald monk? Kill him if you want, why drag the innocent into this?”

Although she was in dire straits, she did not want to involve others.

"Oh?"

Grandma Rui sensed the black-clad woman's protectiveness in her voice. "Is she truly innocent?!"

"Hmph! I'd rather kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free!"

"Who cares if this little bald monk is just passing by?"

She paused, then continued, "Since he ran into them, he's just unlucky!"

"All of you, charge! Hack that little bald monk to death!"

Upon receiving the order, four or five of the dozen or so servants immediately turned their weapons around.

They charged at Chen Mo with shouts, their swords flashing coldly, aiming straight for his vital points, showing absolutely no mercy.

Chen Mo's eyes turned cold.

He didn't want to deal with these trivial matters, but trouble came knocking on his door.

The other party is so ruthless, always ready to take lives.

Even a clay figure has a temper, let alone him?

Rumble!!

His true energy rippled slightly, and a vast and powerful force suddenly erupted from the center of his body!

The servants who rushed forward felt an immense force crashing into them, as if their chests had been struck by a heavy hammer.

Ah ~

They screamed and flew backward, crashing straight into rocks and trees in the distance.

They were all broken and injured, instantly losing their fighting ability.

what? !

Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events. Granny Rui and the others looked at their subordinates who had fallen to the ground and were groaning in disbelief, and then looked at Chen Mo with suspicion and uncertainty.

This little bald monk looks completely ordinary, so why is he suddenly able to unleash such terrifying power?!

They dared not act rashly for a moment!

Granny Rui's face was ashen as she stared intently at Chen Mo, her heart already churning with turmoil.

Having roamed the martial world for decades, her eyesight was naturally excellent, judging solely from the skill Chen Mo had just displayed.

He realized that even if he and Granny Ping joined forces, along with the remaining servants, they would probably still be no match for this little bald monk.

If this continues, I'm afraid everyone will perish here today.

After weighing the pros and cons, Granny Rui could only grit her teeth and say, "Fine! Fine! Fine!"

"It was my mistake to misjudge you; I have offended a master!"

"Mantuo Manor will remember what happened today. Let's go!"

After saying that, she gave Granny Ping and the servants a look, signaling them to help the injured servant up and leave the place immediately.

"Wait a minute!"

A calm voice rang out, not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.

Chen Mo slowly raised his eyes, his gaze falling on Granny Rui and the others who were about to turn around.

"Did I...say...that you...leave?!"

Chapter 40 Punishing Evil, Saving Lives!

what? !

Upon hearing this, Grandma Rui froze. She wanted to slap herself, wishing she hadn't been so quick to speak.

"Master, Heaven cherishes life, don't you think?"

She smiled, looking slightly embarrassed.

"I think so too."

Chen Mo chuckled.

Before they could react, he pointed his fingers like a sword and made several virtual taps in the air!

"Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!"
