"BOOM!"

At this moment, Liu Yu fiercely swung down the Purple Gold Halberd in his hand.

Streaks of Gold astral energy, tinged with a hint of Nirvana's greyish-black hue, descended towards Shen Mo.

As soon as he attacked, the remaining cultivators from the Liu and Wu Families no longer hesitated and launched their own offensive techniques.

Several magic artifacts flickered with light. These ranged from the flying swords commonly used by cultivators to rarer items like flying daggers, circular blades, needle-shaped implements, and other treasured magic artifacts like the Golden Melon Hammer.

As talismans flickered, they were accompanied by various deadly Killing Magic techniques.

Fist Energy and sword Qi filled the air, along with various other potent killing moves like wind walls, fire dragons, golden swords, arrow rains, and poisonous water.

The sheer force of the assault was astounding!

In a unified rush, they surged towards Shen Mo and Chen Mengze.

Although Shen Mo was confident he could withstand this wave of attacks, there was no need to face it head-on! More importantly, Chen Mengze's various defense measures were not as flawless as his, and she risked injury.

Abruptly, the front of his robe flew open.

A pair of arms bizarrely extended from his chest, rapidly forming hand seals so complex they would make an observer dizzy and nauseous!

"The Seven Constellations of the Northern Black Tortoise, Wall Palm!"

As he spat out these words, the palms of his newly formed arms completed the final seal.

His new hands crossed, each thumb pressing against a different knuckle on the opposing palm!

A Pig Badger phantom swiftly materialized from his hands.

Simultaneously, the Spiritual Qi permeating heaven and earth continuously reinforced this Wall Palm.

Within the Pig Badger phantom, countless tiny, profound patterns swirled, resembling tadpoles spread throughout it.

In an instant, this phantom began to exude an aura as formidable as an iron bastion.

It was like true city walls manifesting on all sides of Shen Mo and Chen Mengze, completely enclosing them.

All this happened in a flash!

The naked eye of a mortal could never capture these changes.

However, Chen Mengze, standing nearby, perceived Shen Mo's swift reaction and the might of this Wall Palm with her spiritual sense.

She had initially intended to activate a Grade III defense talisman, but now she halted the process.

Instead, she retrieved an Attack Talisman and held it in her palm.

"CRACK!"

Liu Yu's halberd's golden energy, with tremendous momentum, struck the phantom.

Simultaneously, the other attacks, crashing down like a tide, produced a series of explosive booms.

Or rather, it was Shen Mo's Constellations Palm, manifesting the Pig Badger phantom with the impregnability of an iron wall, that slammed into the sky full of astral energies, Sword Light, magic artifacts, and talismanic assaults!

"BOOM!"

"RUMBLE!"

"BANG! BANG! BANG!"

Dazzling radiances were swiftly extinguished!

Lower-grade magic artifacts, talismans, and magic techniques had their spirit light shattered by the Palm, disintegrating into fading specks of light.

Only the few strongest attacks managed to break through the power of the Wall Palm.

Unsurprisingly, these were Liu Yu's halberd's golden energy, Liu Dingjiang's fist phantom, and Wu Dayong's purple bamboo Flying Sword.

Although the Constellations Palm was formidable, the barrage of killing blows from over a dozen Qi Gathering Realm cultivators was not to be underestimated.

The majority of its power had been depleted!

Otherwise, even Liu Yu couldn't have hoped to breach the Pig Badger iron wall with his halberd's golden energy.

However, Shen Mo was unconcerned!

With a mere thought, the Nine-Extreme Crystal Sand Energy concealed within his Chakra abruptly expanded.

With a SWISH, it formed a translucent, eggshell-shaped Crystal Sand Energy shield, enveloping both Shen Mo and Chen Mengze.

Simultaneously, Shen Mo's original pair of arms moved.

His right hand slapped his waist.

The Demon Slaying Sword landed in his hand, humming joyfully.

And a large blood flag materialized before him.

"CRACK!"

"SCRAPE! SCRAPE!"

A series of strange grinding sounds, like metal against gravel, echoed.

Liu Yu's halberd's golden energy and Liu Dingjiang's fist phantoms were all ground to dust by the Nine-Extreme Crystal Sand Energy.

Even Wu Dayong's high-grade profound level Purple Bamboo Flying Sword had a layer of its outer casing abraded, its spirit light dimming, its spiritual efficacy greatly diminished!

And all this transpired in the span of a single breath.

"WHOOSH!"

Wu Dayong formed a hand seal, his face contorted in pain, as he recalled his Purple Bamboo Flying Sword.

This was a magic artifact bestowed upon Elite Disciples by Purple Bamboo Valley. He had painstakingly performed its refining over the years to elevate it to the high-grade profound level.

Who would have thought that in a single clash, this treasured Purple Bamboo sword would be nearly ground into bamboo shavings?

At this moment, he had no time for heartache.

His heart was consumed by shock and dread. His expression flickered as he rebuked sternly, "With such potent techniques, you are definitely no ordinary rogue cultivator!"

"Zhang Tieshan, who exactly are you? What is your aim?"

"Are you truly aiming to establish a family in Sishui City, intending to seize the industries and interests of our two families?"

"Or... do you have ulterior motives!"

Having held sway in Sishui City for so many years, Wu Dayong possessed some astuteness.

It wasn't just him; Liu Dingjiang and Liu Yu also sensed something amiss from the techniques Shen Mo had displayed.

They had originally believed this vicious Daoist was merely an external cultivator with an exceedingly robust physique!

Who knew that not only was this person's vitality comparable to a demonic beast... but the magic techniques and magic artifacts he now revealed all possessed unfathomable might!

Take this Palm technique, for instance; it somewhat resembled the signature skill of the Stars Peak's Peak Master from the Riverside Sect.

The Crystal Sand Energy shield was also no ordinary item!

And then there were the Flying Sword and blood flag he had just produced.

Although the Flying Sword's grade wasn't exceptionally high, merely high-grade profound level, it pulsed with a vast and incisive sword intent.

Even from such a distance, they could feel their skin tingle painfully!

The blood flag was even more frightening.

Whether it was the Liu Dingjiang father and son or Wu Dayong, all faintly sensed... this flag contained a great terror!

Shen Mo's gaze swept over them, and the Demon Slaying Sword in his hand slashed down decisively.

Myriad Manifestations: River Parting!

Like a landslide damming a raging river, a Wu Family cultivator was blasted into the stony ravine of Sweet Spring Mountain.

All the defensive magic artifacts on his body disintegrated and exploded!

His entire body, as if crushed by a huge stone, was a ruin of broken bones and mangled Flesh and Blood; his five viscera, six bowels, Qi Sea, and Chakra were all devastated, leaving him with only a final breath.

A Sound Transmission Talisman, still shimmering with spirit light but stained with blood, slipped from his hand.

"Don't even think of sending messages to Dasheng Mountain and Purple Bamboo Valley! Otherwise, none of you will even get a clean death," Shen Mo chuckled lightly.

The prominent muscles on his face made his smile look utterly savage!

Even with this precedent, many members of the two families who were cultivating in the two immortal sects still furtively clutched their Sound Transmission Talismans.

Even they sensed that the situation was rapidly turning dire!

"Senior Sister, it's your turn!"

"Feel free to be a bit wild; the situation is already under our control."

Shen Mo turned his head and said calmly to Chen Mengze.

"Mm."

Chen Mengze nodded, not uttering any words of thanks.

In her heart, mere words of thanks were insufficient to repay Shen Mo's efforts during this time.

She removed her veiled hat, revealing a face brimming with killing intent!

"Liu Dingjiang, Liu Yu, Wu Dayong..."

Of the eighteen cultivators from the Liu and Wu Families before her, Chen Mengze named fourteen in a single breath.

They had all participated in the bloody massacre of the Chen Family!

The remaining four were newer talents of the two families, only in their early thirties; their ages didn't align with the perpetrators of that event.

"When you annihilated the Chen Family, did any of you ever imagine a day like this would come?"
