Lin Mo, however, looked at him with extreme indifference, even becoming somewhat impatient, "Your blathering is truly excessive. If you can kill me, then kill me already. All this drivel, does it enhance your combat power?"
"Bastard! Bravo!!"
Lu Gucheng's whole body trembled with rage, his eyes bloodshot. His own son had died at the hands of Lin Mo. Now, himself a superpower ranked fourth on the Emperor List, was being so scornfully dismissed by this arrogant youth. How could he not be furious?
"You're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!!"
As his words ended, Lu Gucheng with a blood-red long blade in hand, transformed into a streak of flowing light, moving with extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, he had already closed in to twenty to thirty meters in front of Lin Mo.
After that, his blood-red long blade slashed towards Lin Mo in the blink of an eye.
Lin Mo's face, however, remained as calm as ancient waves, utterly fearless. Then, he simply raised his fist and struck.
Ding!!
A crisp striking sound echoed as Lin Mo's fist shook the blood-red long blade, sending it flying backwards, shattering the air itself with its trajectory.
Witnessing this scene, Lu Gucheng's face showed shock, but he didn't hesitate. His form moved as swift as a Divine Dragon Leaping Sea and, in a blink, caught the blood-red long blade.
Then, he surged forth like a meteor, the blood-red long blade in his hand channeling boundless might. With a fierce swing, it chopped down towards where Lin Mo stood.
Boom!!!
That blade, carrying supreme force as if it could destroy heaven and earth, blasted water hundreds of feet high from the lake's surface.
The power of those water splashes directly shook the surrounding trees and plants to utter destruction.
As for the Martial Arts Masters, they didn't hesitate to instantly summon Gang Qi Barriers.
Now they knew that Lu Gucheng had indeed harbored murderous intent, fueled by hatred no less.
That strike just now—it not for their timely use of the Gang Qi Barrier, perhaps hundreds would have been killed or injured on the spot.
All the power, focused on Lin Mo—this blade was enough to reduce him to dust and bone.
Lin Mo's starry eyes slightly frowned, his form flashed, and he easily dodged.
As he moved in that instant, the force of the sword light instantly severed the lake's flow and even blasted hundreds of large and small craters into the ground.
Seeing this, Lu Gucheng immediately let out a proud laugh:
"Hahaha!! Kid, you're scared so quickly? You know to dodge?"
"My strength lies in my blade techniques, you think you can escape from my hands today?"
But Lin Mo's face was unchanged, his expression calm, "Dodge? I merely felt that your blade's force was too weak; it wasn't worthy of my action, that's all."
"Presumptuous brat!!"
Lu Gucheng was so angry he almost spat blood. His attack, although not full strength, contained supremely terrifying power, and yet Lin Mo deemed it as not worth responding to? This was an immense insult to Lu Gucheng.
With a shout, Lu Gucheng's blood-red long blade sent out dozens of sword lights in the blink of an eye.
Swish, swish, swish!!
Those sword lights, like streaks of thunder, enveloped the sky, pressing towards Lin Mo.
That was not the end; Lu Gucheng continued to slash in succession. In an instant, the entire sky was blanketed by sword light, rolling towards Lin Mo.
Lin Mo's expression remained tranquil, and then with a wave of his hand, a ground-shaking force blasted towards the sword lights.
Bang, bang, bang!!
The deafening explosive sounds rang out, completely shattering the sword lights from Lu Gucheng.
Seeing this scene, Lu Gucheng's face darkened considerably.
He had just expended quite a bit of his strength, yet he still couldn't inflict any damage on Lin Mo, and what's more, Lin Mo remained so calm and relaxed.
At this point, Lu Gucheng felt as though he was about to cough up blood in frustration.
He was the super strong fourth-ranked warrior on the Emperor List, and after several attempts, he still couldn't harm Lin Mo, let alone kill him.
Lin Mo stood aloft in the sky, hands clasped behind his back, looking down at Lu Gucheng and said indifferently,
"Use your ultimate move already. If we keep playing like this, I'm not interested in wasting any more time with you."
Lu Gucheng's face turned gloomier and colder with each passing moment,
"Lin Mo, I've seen many geniuses, but I've never encountered a monster like you. However, you'll ultimately still die at my hands."
"It's your honor to die by my ultimate move after living for more than a decade!"
"Mad Blade Dominating Sky Slash!"
Lu Gucheng's voice thundered to the heavens as he held his blood-red long blade high, like a fierce deity from the Nine Heavens, channeling all his True Qi and strength into the blood-colored long blade.
In an instant, dark clouds covered the sun, and the world changed color, as if his strike could obliterate all the heavens.
Everyone's expression turned extremely solemn. Even before the blade descended, many felt as if their hearts would burst from the oppressive force descending upon them:
"Lin Mo is doomed for sure!"
"To make Lu Gucheng use his ultimate move, there would not be more than three people in all of Hua Country."
"And those individuals are all characters at the absolute pinnacle of Martial Arts, Lin Mo, a mere seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth, is definitely the first."
In the blink of an eye, the blood-red long blade moved like a terrifying formation. Everywhere it went, space shattered, creating a sight most terrifying.
Seeing Lin Mo standing in place, motionless,
Lu Gucheng's face twisted with a fierce joy, "Hahaha... Boy, have you given up resisting? Then accept your death gracefully!!"
When everyone thought Lin Mo might be cut down any second, Lin Mo just sneered,
"Is this your ultimate move? How mediocre!"
As his words fell, Lin Mo's tall figure shot up like a rocket into the sky, and then, he threw a punch with explosive force.
That punch, like a meteor from beyond this world, turned the entire sky dark.
Then, that punch shattered Lu Gucheng's Mad Blade Dominating Sky Slash into nothingness, and without diminishing in the slightest, it continued straight towards Lu Gucheng.
Lu Gucheng's eyes widened in terror, his instincts screamed to dodge, but his pupils dilated to the extreme, leaving him no chance at all. He could only watch as the remaining force of the punch pierced directly through his chest.
Puh!!
Lu Gucheng spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with unwillingness, and in the next second, his body exploded into countless fragments with a boom.
Everyone on the scene was utterly shocked. The fourth-ranked warrior on the Emperor List, Lu Gucheng, had died just like that?
"God, Lin Mo is only seventeen or eighteen years old! He just killed the powerful Lu Gucheng."
"In Hua Country, apart from the current peak figures of Martial Arts, there is probably no one else who can stand against Lin Mo."
"I remember now, this Lin Mo is Mr. Lin from Shu Province."
"No wonder, so young, yet his power is so shockingly outstanding."
Watching the youth descend from thousands of meters high in the sky, everyone could not help but feel awe. No one dared to show the slightest disrespect, as if they were in the presence of the Nine Heavens Monarch, the Master of Ten Thousand Worlds.
