Chapter 7: Annihilation

The palm technique naturally referred to the Great Demon Heavenly Palm.

However, everyone only knew that Mo Ruyi used a set of palms, slapped Chen Feiyan into the air, but they didn't know the name of that palm.

In fact, even though Mo Hong sent these people to kill Mo Xiu and Mo Ruyi, he did not explain to them the way that Mo Ruyi used it.

It was they who felt that if they directly killed Mo Xiu and Mo Ruyi, it would be a pity if they didn't ask about the palm technique. After all, the strength of the palm technique was beyond doubt, otherwise, Chen Feiyan would not be reduced to a corpse under Mo Ruyi's attack who was only on the 9th level of Qi Refining Realm like that.

Listening to the words of these killers, one might think that these people were not here to kill but to snatch the palm technique instead.

However, Mo Ruyi had recognized the identities of these people, knowing that these people were the killers sent by Mo Hong. So how could it be possible for her to obediently hand over "The Great Demon Heavenly Palm Technique"?

She quickly backed up two or three steps and stood in front of Mo Xiu.

Although Mo Xiu said before that he was not worried about the assassins sent by Mo Hong, Mo Ruyi was not sure whether he was really worried or he was only trying to flaunt it.

Prior to this, Mo Ruyi's cultivation base was only on the 9th level of Qi Refining Realm, let alone dealing with these Foundation Realm guys, the other two Core Formation Realm cultivators were both choking.

Now, her cultivation base had broken through to the 1st level of the Foundation Realm. Although she couldn't say that she could defeat the Core Formation experts, let alone resist the siege of the seven or eight warriors who had lived on the battlefield, she could at least last a little while, so that Mo Xiu could escape.

As long as Mo Xiu could escape, she would be worth the sacrifice, at least this moment she thought so.

Seeing Mo Ruyi retreat, Ru Hua couldn't help but retreat two or three steps too.

But soon she realized something, took a deep breath, and took a small step forward, stopping in front of the assassins, and mustered the courage to say, "Don't mess around, otherwise Third Master will not let you go."

Hearing this, Mo Ruyi was somewhat surprised.

Of course, she knew that Ru Hua was the person of Mo Miao. And since Mo Miao left Ru Hua here, Mo Ruyi was definitely not at ease. 80% of her thoughts were about how to get the Great Demon Heavenly Palm, and might even have to dig out more information about Mo Xiu.

But she didn't expect that Ru Hua would stand up at this time and try to keep them both under the banner of Mo Miao.

It must be known that these killers were all sent by Mo Hong, not Mo Miao.

Although Mo Hong and Mo Miao were brothers, they had torn their faces in the fight for the position of Patriarch.

In other words, it was life-threatening for Ru Hua to stand up at this time.

She dared to stand up even knowing that her life was in danger?

At this moment, Mo Ruyi wondered if she was too paranoid. Maybe this little girl really didn't have any bad thoughts?

The assassins were all from the Mo Family. Naturally, they knew that Ru Hua was the maid of Mo Miao, and they also knew that Mo Miao ordered Ru Hua to stay and take care of Mo Xiu and Mo Ruyi during the day.

If Ru Hua didn't stand up at this time, they really wouldn't do anything to Ru Hua, because then, it might irritate Mo Miao, and before Mo Hong's layout of the Mo Family was completed, it would irritate Mo Miao to do bad things to them.

However, this kind of time, Ru Hua, this cheap maid out of control, was a bit unbearable.

"Scram away!"

The leading Core Formation expert raised his hand and grabbed Ru Hua's neck and threw her aside.

With a "bang", she slammed into the wall and slid to the ground, fainting directly.

"Ru Hua!" Mo Ruyi was shocked.

The Core Formation expert had no consciousness of doing anything wrong, his eyes fell on Mo Ruyi, and aggressively said, "I'll say it again, hand over the palm technique, and I can forgive you not to die!"

"If you want the palm technique, defeat me first before saying anything else!"

Then, Mo Ruyi raised her hand and was about to perform the first form of the Great Demon Heavenly Palm.

The next second, a hand was placed on her shoulder, interrupting her movement.

"Mo Xiu." She looked back at Mo Xiu.

"You are not their opponent." Mo Xiu calmly said.

Mo Ruyi could only bite her lip, knowing that what Mo Xiu was telling was the truth, but she was still a little unwilling.

On the other side, the Core Formation expert was taken aback, and soon said with a sneer, "You really know yourself. That's right, she is indeed not our opponent. If you hand over that palm technique, we might be able to spare you."

"Spare us? Just rely on you?" Mo Xiu was full of disdain.

"..."

Everyone couldn't help but stunned.

They knew that Mo Xiu was arrogant, but what's wrong with this guy?

So arrogant even at the end of his death!

Before they could react, they heard Mo Xiu continued to say, "If you want to use that technique, it depends on whether you have a life to use it."

"Smelly boy, you're looking for death!"

Knowing that Mo Xiu was not ready to hand over his palm technique, the Core Formation expert immediately drew out the sword and flew towards Mo Xiu.

The others also started to take action, preparing to join forces against Mo Ruyi.

At this moment, in the dark, an invisible sharp blade also penetrated their bodies and entered them.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A bang rang from those people's bodies, but it wasn't that any of them had a breakthrough in their cultivation base, but that their spiritual platform was breached by the Soul Devouring Sword.

In the blink of an eye, a few more "booms" resounded. Including the Core Formation expert, all the masked men in black fell to the ground, and the swords in their hands were scattered on the ground.

The night was silent, and the people on the ground were quiet, even the sound of breathing disappeared.

After waiting for a while, Mo Ruyi couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with them?"

"Dead." Mo Xiu replied concisely.

"Dead?" Mo Ruyi couldn't believe it.

After a closer inspection, there was no breath at all. They were really dead.

"How... how did you do it?" Mo Ruyi quickly looked at Mo Xiu.

She obviously didn't see Mo Xiu making a move, but only saw these individuals rushing towards them, how could everyone die in the blink of an eye?

Could it be possible that the method used by Mo Xiu to kill Chen Feiyan was reproduced just now?

Could he really kill people invisibly, and even a Core Formation expert could be killed like that too?

Mo Xiu did not explain, but said, "Go and wake up Ru Hua and let her help dispose of the body."

"Okay."

Mo Ruyi hurried to the side of Ru Hua and helped Ru Hua up.

After careful investigation, that Ru Hua girl did not die.

Stimulated with the True Essence Power, Ru Hua finally woke up.

"Miss, this is..." After Ru Hua opened her eyes, she glanced at Mo Ruyi and looked a little confused.

Soon, she remembered something, and quickly said, "Where is the Young Master? The young master... he, is he okay?"

Although she didn't die, Ru Hua was hit hard just now, otherwise, she would not just faint.

At this moment, she felt uncomfortable. She felt like her bones were falling apart. There seemed to be a lot of congestion in her chest, her lungs were hot and painful. However, she seemed more concerned about Mo Xiu's safety than her own situation.

Soon, she saw the corpses of the black-clothed masked men lying on the ground, and saw Mo Xiu still sitting on the bed as if he hadn't moved from the beginning till now. She couldn't help being a little surprised.

What happened? Those black masked people... fainted? Or were they dead?

"Don't talk, I will heal you."

Mo Ruyi didn't answer Ru Hua's question, but took out a pill, let Ru Hua swallow it, and then used the True Essence Power to help Ru Hua heal.

...

"Why haven't there been any movement? Did it fail?"

Mo Hong walked back and forth in the study, looking a little anxious.

In his opinion, sending a Core Formation expert and several Foundation Realm experts should be able to win the two of Mo Ruyi and Mo Xiu, unless Mo Miao's people were also mixed in.

As far as he knew, Mo Miao did not send anyone to stir up, but only left a maid who had no martial arts skills.

That being the case, why hadn't any news come back yet?

Could it be that Mo Ruyi and Mo Xiu already knew that he would send killers to kill them, so they tried to slip away early?

This was not impossible at all, but it was unlikely, because in that case, why had no one came back to report the news?

"Father, should I go and see it myself?" Mo Wuxian was also in the study. After he felt Mo Hong's anxiety, he quickly suggested.

As soon as the proposal came out, it was immediately rejected by Mo Hong, "No! It's too dangerous, you can't go!"

"..."

"Just send someone to have a look."

As Mo Hong said, he recruited one person and sent him to the small courtyard where Mo Xiu was to check the situation.

The father and son continued to wait in the study.

After waiting, they still couldn't get the news, and even the person who was sent to investigate the news didn't come back.

Mo Hong's heart gradually sank to the bottom.

"Boom!"

After a split second, he slapped the table next to him with a palm. His strong true power broke the whole table to pieces.

Upon seeing this, Mo Wuxian swallowed, and cautiously said, "Father, is it possible that Third Uncle made the move?"

"No, if he really has such a powerful strength, the position of Patriarch has long been his." Although Mo Hong was angry, he had not lost his reason.

So many people were sent out, one of them was even a Core Formation expert at that, but the whole army was nowhere to be seen, indicating that the opponent had overwhelming strength.

Mo Miao did have a certain power in the Mo Family, but he was not that powerful. Mo Hong knew this very well.

It wasn't that Mo Miao made the move, the problem should lie with Mo Xiu, and 80% of it was Mo Xiu's ace cards he didn't know.

"That stinky boy, I really underestimated him!" Mo Hong's face was extremely gloomy.

A Core Formation expert, several Foundation Building Realm cultivators, this was a considerable amount of combat power. Now that such a considerably powerful army was annihilated, the loss for him was very large.

Originally, he had the upper hand in the process of fighting for the position of Patriarch. Now that this happened, he was afraid that the situation had been reversed, Mo Miao had the upper hand.

More importantly, he still couldn't figure out the depth of Mo Xiu.

Now he and Mo Xiu could be said to have entered a state of 'fight to one's last gasp'. What if in the future, Mo Xiu, that mad dog must kill him?

After thinking about it, he simply voiced out his final conclusion, "Don't provoke those two siblings in the future. If we see them, we should avoid walking into them. I hope we can remedy the situation a little bit."
