Heaven Slaying Blade

"Impossible!" On Shen Aobing's usually emotionless, icy face, a hint of anger surfaced, "Do you think I've never encountered worldly people before? Just in your palace, I ruined your damn crown prince's eyes and gave your dog of an emperor a good lesson. They are the worldly people!"

"So am I." Chu Mo was somewhat stunned inside, but his face was even more composed when he stared at Shen Aobing, "but you can't afford to mess with me."

If he had said this at their first meeting, Shen Aobing would have sneered dismissively. But now, these words from Chu Mo's mouth unnerved her.

It was as if he wasn't bragging, but stating a fact!

But how...could that be possible?

Shen Aobing was at a loss for answers, turning to Shen Xingxue next to her. Regret filled her heart for not having done a thorough investigation into Chu Mo's background.

Lightly biting her lower lip, Shen Xingxue hesitantly said: "Young Master Chu...is very formidable. Sister Yiniang's elixir...he probably made it himself. He...he also cured my uncle Xia Jing's illness...the one I told you about."

Shen Xingxue's face turned red as she spoke softly.

"What?" This time, Shen Aobing was genuinely surprised. She glanced at the stern-faced Chu Mo. A thought crossed her mind: If Xingxue was telling the truth, then behind this young man...there might be a presence that's just as powerful as me... No, judging by his attitude, it seems like there may be a presence that can totally crush me. Could it be... innate?

Shen Aobing startled herself with this conjecture. The stronger one becomes, the greater one's awe for higher realms. Because only those who get close will understand how formidable a person at the higher level is!

No wonder my words have caused such a massive backlash from this young man... Shen Aobing took an intense look at Chu Mo. Although she knew she might have offended the young man with the terrifyingly strong background, there was no way she was going to apologize.

So, Shen Aobing, pulling Shen Xingxue with her, vanished from Chu Mo's room in a flash.

The moment they stepped out, Chu Mo instantly collapsed into his chair and started breathing heavily. The pressure from that icy woman was simply too great!

If he hadn't had the energy from the jade on his chest sustaining him, even if he had the courage to curse at this arrogant and aloof woman, he wouldn't have had the capacity.

Ninth level of the Yellow Rank...Grand master of the Heavenly Heart Realm!

Chu Mo had never seen a person so powerful, Demon Lord notwithstanding. But the Demon Lord was his master and wouldn't intimidate him on purpose.

"This icy woman... is truly terrifying," Chu Mo couldn't help but grumble. Despite his tough exterior when facing Shen Aobing, he was well aware that if she truly wanted to hurt him, he would have absolutely no ability to resist.

Yes, the jade was magical, and the Heaven Slaying sword was indeed sharp enough to cut through any weapon in this world. But he, himself, was ultimately not that strong.

He may be stubborn and high-spirited, but he was well aware of his own limitations.

That's why even Shen Aobing, a powerful woman, couldn't sense that, from the beginning to end, Chu Mo was in control of the whole situation.

Looking back on the events of that day, Chu Mo felt a sense of lingering fear.

That woman dared to harm the crown prince and berate the emperor; it seemed as if there was nothing she wouldn't do.

Xu Fufu looked at Chu Mo, stunned, "You're saying, there are sects in this world that are even stronger than Longevity Heaven? And then, a strong person from one such sect appeared before you and was chased away by your scolding?"

Chu Mo nodded: "Indeed, that's the case."

"Brother Hei, you're formidable! I am impressed." Upon hearing Chu Mo recount his encounter with that icy woman, Xu Fufu broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew Chu Mo wouldn't deceive him, and what Chu Mo mentioned aligns perfectly with some mysterious rumors.

Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Chu Mo responded, "What's so great about me? My only advantages were two things. One, I saved Shen Xingxue's life once. That woman is tough, but I can tell she isn't the type to brutally kill the innocent. Second, my master, whom she holds some fear for. As for me... she could kill me just by thinking it."

"Regardless, you frightened off a supreme powerhouse. That alone is something you can be proud of," Xu Fufu said, a hint of envy in his voice.

"The Crown Prince is incapacitated," said Xu Fufu glancing at Chu Mo, "Recently, many people have been sneaking around to see my grandfather. They are practically wearing out the doorstep."

This matter has nothing to do with us, steer clear of it." Chu Mo glanced at Xu Fufu, and then said, "I should be leaving soon."

"To join the military?" Xu Fufu asked.

Chu Mo nodded, "Yes."

"Even after what the Emperor did...you still want to join the army?" Xu Fufu still harbored resentment towards the Emperor due to the forced marriage of Miao Yiniang to the Crown Prince.

Chu Mo laughed it off, "It has nothing to do with the Emperor!"

What Xu Fufu did not know was that Chu Mo's decision to join the army was not just to serve his country, but also to gather Blood Qi!

These two goals did not conflict.

The best place to gather copious amounts of Blood Qi is on the battlefield!

The more enemies Chu Mo killed on the battlefield, the safer the people of Great Xia would be.

Watching Chu Mo, Xu Fufu said, "Alright, I'll support you no matter what. Rest assured, I'll manage Yanhuang City. I will take good care of your home."

Lifting his gaze towards Xu Fufu, Chu Mo pulled out a bottle of elixir, "You should know about what happened to sister Yiniang, One-Armed Uncle, and Chu Yan. Now, this elixir, the last bottle, can bring you directly to the Stone and Metal Realm! Xia Jing spent an unimaginable fortune to collect the components for this. Moreover, it may be many years before we see any of these components again. Therefore, to create this kind of elixir in this world again in a short period is impossible."

This..." Xu Fufu looked at Chu Mo, it wasn't about modesty, but this thing... it was too precious!

"Take it, you're my best friend. It doesn't make sense for you to refuse," said Chu Mo.

"Alright, then I won't hold back," Xu Fufu accepted the elixir and carefully placed it in his inner pocket, taking his leave afterwards.

Given Xu Fufu's current state, it would take at least two months to assimilate the power in the elixir. Without several years of plentiful battles, it would be impossible to fully possess the power of the Stone and Metal Realm!

For Xu Fufu, to have broken into the Stone and Metal Realm, something he didn't even dare to dream about, was already a generous gift from heaven!

No, it wasn't a gift from the heavens, but from a brother.

Just as Xu Fufu left, the Second Prince, Xia Xiong, made a discreet visit.

In the early spring, still slightly chilly, chaos reigns. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to vote and recommend. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
