Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 66: The Brave Young Man



"Get lost!" Chu Mo shouted angrily, "You power-abusing dog! You wielded the deadliest sword when they were chasing me!"

Clang!

A loud noise echoed.

The adversary's long sword snapped with a sound, and Chu Mo's knife ... was now at the man's throat.

The adversary was utterly shocked, the half of the sword left in his hand dropped onto the ground with a clang, face turned pale, gazing at Chu Mo with dread.

He certainly recognized who this young man was, as he had personally chased after him more than half a year ago.

Although he eventually lost the young man due to the intervention of a mysterious woman, he was pretty confident that this youth was no match for him at the time. Not even ten of them would be enough for him to kill.

How could this boy have changed so drastically just after just over half a year? A single move ... and he lost?

Was he hallucinating?

"Why aren't you speaking? Weren't you rather enjoying chasing after me?" Chu Mo looked at the man in his thirties and pressed the Heaven Slaying knife against his throat.

A line of blood emerged, followed immediately by the red flow.

"Ah... don't... don't kill me, I am just... following orders," The man let out a horrified plea for mercy.

"Brat, die!" A hoarse voice echoed from behind Chu Mo, followed by a harsh sound piercing the air instantly.

Without even turning his head, Chu Mo blocked the man's throat with the Heaven Slaying knife and swung it back.

Clang!

Crack!

"Ahh!"

After the loud noise, a piercing scream rang out.

An old man, covering the fresh blood spraying from his shoulder, let out an incredulous cry of pain.

An arm, along with a broken shining sword, fell to the ground.

This swing from Chu Mo cut off the old man's sword first, then from bottom to top, he sliced off his arm. Then, the knife was back on the thirty-something-year-old man's neck.

All this happened so swiftly it was unbelievable!

And the hand that held the sword... was still his left hand!

Chu Mo turned around and looked coldly at the one-armed old man, "Old man, among those chasing me, you had the best killing skills. As a yellow-rank third-level warrior, you are the most skilled with a blade. Do you remember what you said when you were chasing me?"

The old man looked at Chu Mo in horror, "It's you! You... How did you... suddenly become so powerful?"

"You said that you would chop me up bit by bit if you caught me. You said that you're an expert in recreating the death by a thousand cuts method. You said that you have a very delicate way of using your sword that can keep a victim alive through three thousand six hundred cuts. You said that you enjoy the process the most and love to hear your victim's screams. When they can't scream anymore, you'll cut off their tongues. Then watch their eyes change from hatred to despair to numbness... And then you'd feel absolutely delighted." Chu Mo sternly said, "You also said... you would do the same to me, to my satisfaction... right?"

The old man was scared senseless by Chu Mo and stood there, his eyes full of shock, "Impossible, impossible, even for those genius in the sect, it's impossible for them to make such progress in just half a year... Absolutely impossible!"

"I'm not as sick as you are, so I won't torture you with a thousand cuts. You left three knife wounds on me that time, not too deep. Because my friend saved me with his life, I was lucky enough to escape from Yanhuang City," Chu Mo, ignoring the old man's words, said calmly, "But the wound you left in my heart... is deep! I just returned you a stab, I still owe you three, are... you ready?"

"Ah!" With a sudden scream, the old man ran away!

A Primordial warrior, even with one arm cut off, is not completely powerless. But the fear inside his heart had thoroughly spread, completely uncontrollable.

"Want to run?" Chu Mo sneered, and Heaven Slaying in his hand suddenly flew out, with a thud, it penetrated the old man's back and came out of his chest.

Due to inertia, the old man still ran forward more than ten feet, finally stumbled and fell to the ground, twisted his head, as if wanting to look at Chu Mo, but his head dropped helplessly onto the ground.

He died instantly!

"You still owe me two strikes!" Chu Mo said.

"Ah!" The man in his thirties, seeing Chu Mo without a weapon, suddenly let out a roar, drew a short knife from his waist, and stabbed fiercely at Chu Mo's rib.

If the knife penetrated that position, it would reach the heart!

This stab was tricky, vicious, ruthless, fast!

Chu Mo stepped lightly, his body flashed, and a punch hammered the man's chest.

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking echoed.

The man in his thirties spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flew backwards and slammed hard into a big tree, then bounced back more than a foot and collapsed on the ground, instantly killed.

Chu Mo slowly approached the old man, reached out a hand, drew out the Heaven Slaying knife, its gleaming blade not stained with a drop of blood.

"Xia Jing, aren't you coming out yet? Stop thinking about mobilizing troops, they can't catch me!" Chu Mo carried the Heaven Slaying knife and walked step by step towards the backyard of the prince's mansion.

In the backyard of the mansion lived the family of Prince Xia Jing! All of his harem lived there too.

Chu Mo didn't believe that, after half a day, Prince Xia Jing and his son would still be oblivious to what's happening.

"Chu Mo!" A harsh shout came from the direction of the backyard.

Then, the sound of numerous guards running resonated. Soon, Prince Xia Jing, protected by hundreds of guards, appeared from the backyard. His son, Xia Jie, was by his side, glaring spitefully at Chu Mo.

As soon as Chu Mo saw Xia Jie, he couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, little sister Xia Jie, long time no see, you've become more and more radiant, haven't you?"

"Chu Mo, you're asking for death!" Seeing his nemesis, Xia Jie was filled with rage. If looks could kill, Chu Mo would have been dead hundreds of times.

Upon seeing the elderly man missing an arm and the body of a man in his late thirties on the side, Xia Jing's eyes immediately turned bloodshot. These men were two guards he had hired at a great expense. They were both from prestigious sects and had served him in the Prince's Mansion for many years, and he had always trusted them.

He was shocked and angry that they had fallen into the hands of this young man. His hatred for Chu Mo had reached its peak.

"Chu Mo, you little beast, dare to come back? I haven't settled our scores yet, and you started a killing spree in my mansion? Do you think the law of Great Xia is a joke? Do you think no one in Great Xia can manage you? Don't think that just because your grandfather is a general, you can be reckless! The rule of Great Xia..." Xia Jing angrily rebuked Chu Mo.

However, Chu Mo didn't let him finish, interrupting his rant with a sneer: "The rule of Great Xia, is not yours, Prince Xia Jing! It's the Emperor's!"

Having said so, Chu Mo glanced disdainfully at Xia Jie: "Your father and son didn't just try using the fool from Qing Province to kill him and put the blame on me. Isn't that a way to settle the score?"

"Nonsense! You're just spouting nonsense!" Xia Jing claimed indignantly.

"Whether it's nonsense or not, only you know, old rogue. As for the law of Great Xia, it's indeed not for show. However, I have a question, dear Prince – where was this law when your son was forcefully seizing a poor girl in broad daylight?" Chu Mo stared at Xia Jing and coldly continued: "Where was this law when you sent these two individuals, whom I've just finished off, to kill me?"

"You're just slandering me!" Xia Jie's voice, shrill and sharp, sounded just like a young girl's.

Chu Mo laughed again: "Hehe, Miss Xia... am I really just uttering lies? Do you need proof or evidence?"

"Chu Mo... I will kill you!" Xia Jie's face was full of rage. As a man who had been castrated and was now enduring mockery, he was nearly driven mad by anger. In a loud voice, he commanded, "Shoot him with arrows! Kill him!"

Of course, the guards weren't going to listen to him; their eyes were all on Xia Jing. At this moment, Xia Jing had an intense hatred for Chu Mo and regretted not sending more men to take out this little beast.

Staring at Xia Jing, Chu Mo calmly asked, "Old rogue Xia Jing, do you dare to speak with me one on one?"

"How dare you! To dare mention the Prince's real name is an offence!" The guard beside Xia Jing reprimanded Chu Mo.

Chu Mo laughed again: "Oh, so you admit he's an old rogue too?"

"Father, don't listen to this beast. Just give the order to shoot him!" Xia Jie was grinding his teeth in anger.

After a glance at Chu Mo, Xia Jing said coldly: "You little beast, today, there's no way you're leaving the Prince's Mansion alive! I'll not only kill you, but I also won't spare your grandfather! As for that Gluttonous Pavilion, do you really think I don't know that it's a business you and that brat from the Xu family set up? I'll personally destroy everything you have!"

"Old rogue, this is what they call slander. It seems normal for such a booming business as the Gluttonous Pavilion to catch the eye of a larcenous guy like you. So, if you want to seize someone else's property, you should just say it. Anyway, in Great Xia, no one would dare to defy you, right? Don't drag it into me. Don't make accusations without evidence." Chu Mo said dismissively: "But it seems, dear Prince, you have truly given up on ever having descendants."

"You! Chu Mo! I'll flay you alive!" The moment Xia Jing heard this, he was enraged. What did he hate the most right now? It was these words!

He, Xia Jing, was a respectable prince of Great Xia. Besides his royal brother, he was the most powerful man in all of Great Xia!

Even though the prime minister was dismissed from office, no one could change this fact!

But his only son had been castrated by this man in front of him. Now a eunuch who didn't need to enter the palace. If he still had reproductive abilities, it wouldn't matter, he could just sire more sons and daughters with the beauties around him.

But he couldn't reproduce anymore!

He, Xia Jing... was impotent!

The culprit who caused him, Xia Jing, to become a dead-end branch was right in front of his eyes!

How could he not hate him?

With a slight smile, Chu Mo looked at Xia Jing who was about to order to shoot him into a porcupine and said lightly: "Aren't you curious? How, in just over half a year, I, Chu Mo... went from a boy who could only run away from Yanhuang City with his tail between his legs from you, to a powerful man who could come to your Prince's Mansion singlehandedly and take down your two powerful guards? Aren't you... curious?"

"I have nothing to be curious about since you're going to die anyway." Xia Jing was so angry that he almost spat blood. He wasn't even willing to talk to Chu Mo anymore.

Xia Jie screeched sharply on the side: "Kill... kill him! Kill him!"

Chu Mo glared at Xia Jie: "When adults are talking, little girls should step aside and stay quiet!"

"Chu Mo..." Xia Jie's voice, indeed sharp, especially when he was angry, sounded even more like a woman's.

Chu Mo ignored him and continued to look calmly at Xia Jing: "You should know that when I was in Yanhuang City, I was a prodigy. When it came to miscellaneous studies, I was a master! When I joined the sect, I didn't abandon my miscellaneous studies. I found an ancient book in the sect's library which had a prescription..."
