167: Another Saint

Another island in the Third Sea Region.

At this moment, those Di Xue Family members from the Lower Domain had gathered together. The ancient Imperial Rank Legacy had not appeared for a long time, and these people had lost their initial excitement.

Instead, they became interested in Ji Mo, who had only recently arrived in the Endless Sea Region. This was because every time Ji Mo appeared, he caused a stir, and he repeatedly performed astonishing feats at a Realm below the Saint Realm.

When Ji Mo annihilated the Sea Dragon Clan, it was widely rumored that he possessed the power to slay Saints. Wei Wushang of the Wei Family, part of the Di Xue Family, had a great deal of interest in Ji Mo.

He was also the most aggressive, wanting to find Ji Mo and kill him. And Baili Mingyue of the Baili Family also wanted to subdue Ji Mo.

Now, the members of the Di Xue Family had gathered: Wei Wushang, Huangpu Fei, Little Dragon Girl, Xu You, Duanmu Han, and Baili Mingyue.

The relationships among these Di Xue Family members were actually competitive. However, because each Family had its own foundation, their conflicts were limited to open disputes and did not escalate into death matches.

Before any conflicts of interest arose, these individuals could coexist peacefully, and some families even had intermarriages, after all, extraordinary Bloodlines naturally sought powerful alliances!

At this moment, these people were chatting in a restaurant when an old man suddenly burst into their private room. This elder was actually a Saint Rank Level One powerhouse.

“Young Miss, news has arrived! Ji Mo has appeared on Jiepai Island in the Fourth Domain of the Endless Sea Region, reportedly fighting an unknown Saint Rank Giant Turtle.”

The elder respectfully bowed to Little Dragon Girl, directly exposing Ji Mo's information to everyone.

“What? Is the news reliable?!” Before Little Dragon Girl could speak, the young Wei Wushang blurted out.

He was a young man! He valued his reputation greatly. Ji Mo had always caused trouble, so he naturally harbored hostility towards Ji Mo.

Especially after Ji Mo killed the Spear Saint, Wei Wushang became even more attentive. To be honest, these people completely looked down on the Saints from the Lower Domain.

Which of these Di Xue Family members, with all their methods, didn't have a way to slay a Saint? It was just a matter of whether it was worth it.

The elder was from the Long Family of the Di Xue Family and ignored Wei Wushang. It was Little Dragon Girl who spoke. He did not doubt the authenticity of the news; he knew his Dao Protector.

“Elder Long, what exactly is the situation?”

“Young Miss, it is said that Ji Mo suddenly appeared near Jiepai Island and was pursued by a Giant Turtle creature. The commotion was immense, and many people from Jiepai Island, a hundred miles away, went to watch the battle.”

“This is also why the news spread. Many major powers have basically received this information. The Three Saints of Xuantian Hall, the Three Saints of the Three Saints Sect, plus the Sea Dragon Clan Leader and the leader of the Brotherhood Alliance—a total of Eight Saints—have already torn through space to intercept and kill Ji Mo.”

After Elder Long finished speaking, he did not continue. He knew that Little Dragon Girl would make her own decision, and his mission was to protect the Young Lord's safety.

At this moment, Baili Mingyue spoke, “Anyway, we’re bored here. Since Brother Wushang is so interested in Ji Mo, why don’t we go and see?”

“I agree. Ever since I came to the Lower Four Domains, I've always heard news of Ji Mo. I also want to see what kind of person he is; it might even be worth befriending him.”

Xu You of the Xu Family was also a forthright young talent. In his words, he did not belittle Ji Mo; instead, there was a feeling of heroes appreciating each other.

The others also expressed interest in going. “Since everyone wants to go, let's depart now! If we go too late, we might miss the grand event.”

Little Dragon Girl finally made the decision. Several Saint Rank servants tore through space, and a group of more than ten people headed towards Jiepai Island... Jiepai Pass, the sea area a hundred miles away.

Ji Mo was still confronting several Saints. Ji Mo's eyes, like lightning, swept across the Saints of the Three Saints Sect as he spoke calmly.

“The Three Saints Sect and I have no great grievances. Cultivation is not easy, and the path of a Saint is difficult. Now I give you an opportunity: retreat now, and I will not trouble you.”

Ji Mo's words were indeed a stratagem to sow discord, but if these three truly retreated, he would genuinely not pursue them further.

However, he knew that in this situation, these three could not retreat. They had already been put on the spot; if they fled now, it would indicate fear of Ji Mo, and they would lose all face.

Furthermore, they would offend the three Saints of Xuantian Hall who came with them, as this trouble was brought upon Xuantian Hall by them.

“Heh heh, Ji Mo, are you scared?! Today, you will surely die. Don't even think of using a stratagem to sow discord.”

“No need for pointless talk with him. Let's attack together and kill him.” As expected, the eldest of the Three Saints refused.

A group of people approached Ji Mo, various Holy Lights appeared, powerful Sacred Artifacts were activated, and waves of fierce aura rushed towards Ji Mo.

It must be said that these people's Saint Realm cultivation base was indeed terrifying. Even before they attacked, their aura had already caused layers of tremors in the space around them.

“Ji Mo, I'll give you one chance. Kneel now and repent for the crime of annihilating the Sea Dragon Clan, then end your own life. I might consider leaving you a complete corpse.”

The Sea Dragon Clan Leader's words made it sound like a great favor, but in reality, Ji Mo's strength was still unknown. He wanted to use words to influence Ji Mo's emotions.

The others also laughed, nodding in agreement, looking quite cruel.

“Are these your last words?” Ji Mo asked calmly.

The smiles on the faces of the seven Saints froze. To endure such humiliation with a mind as still as water made their hearts turn cold.

Even with the oppressive aura of the seven Saints, they couldn't disturb his state of mind, which made them even more uneasy.

Ji Mo stood high above the sea, unreservedly releasing his heaven-shaking Battle Intent. His powerful Qi and Blood surged like an ocean, sweeping across the vast sea.

His black hair fluttered, black-gold flames burned, and his eyes gleamed like lightning. Though he stood alone in this world, he possessed a majestic aura that could devour thousands of miles, with supreme divine posture, looking down upon all.

“Since you're all rushing to your deaths, then die! Kill!”

These people didn't expect Ji Mo to strike first. They attacked together, Holy Light surged, Sword Intent, Palm Intent, Fist Intent, and various Saint Power condensed attacks, terrifying and overwhelming.

Most terrifyingly, Old Hall Master Hong of Xuantian Hall activated the Sacred Artifact, the sea-gazing mirror. This sea-gazing mirror was not only an auxiliary Sacred Artifact but also a terrifying offensive Sacred Artifact.

Almost instantly, the sea surface within dozens of miles was evaporated by this mirror. All living beings in this area were annihilated, disappearing without a trace.

This Sacred Artifact was a Legacy Sacred Artifact of Xuantian Hall, brought out by the previous Old Hall Master from an ancient ruin. Due to irreversible injuries, the previous Old Hall Master eventually passed it on to Old Hall Master Hong.

With this special Sacred Artifact, Old Hall Master Hong's strength could be said to be unrivaled in the Lower Four Domains of the Endless Sea Region.

This Sacred Artifact was refined specifically for slaying Saints. It was brought along on this trip and unleashed immediately, showing his determination to kill Ji Mo.

To be honest, an ordinary Saint Rank Level Two would have been gravely injured, if not killed, by this single blow, because there was no way to dodge; who could be faster than the explosive light of a Sacred Artifact?

But Ji Mo was an anomaly. He had the heaven and earth creation bell protecting him, and black-gold flames protecting him. Furthermore, his body's defense was unparalleled, allowing him to withstand this blow head-on.

“Instant Burst!”

Ji Mo was not to be outdone. His violent fist power continuously bombarded the Sacred Artifact sea-gazing mirror. The invisible force caused the sea-gazing mirror itself to tremble.

He watched indifferently. Old Hall Master Hong's reliance was this mirror; as long as he could curb its offensive, he would be fine.

“He's actually unharmed!” Old Hall Master Hong's heart sank, and a faint sense of fear emerged. In the past, anyone below Saint Rank Level Three would have been taken down by this one attack.

“This child is formidable! Everyone, work together and kill him!” Vice Hall Master Meng, who knew the sea-gazing mirror's power best, shouted coldly.

“Boom!”

Ji Mo was the first to attack, enduring several Saint Power attacks. His black-gold flames burned the heavens, carrying monstrous Qi and Blood, and charged forward to kill.

His moves were simple and direct. With a black-gold fist, wielding forty-three thousand five Dragon Power, his fierce might was vast. Hurricanes roared across the sea, and space shattered inch by inch.

“Pfft!”

Vice Hall Master Ren of Xuantian Hall's attack was directly shattered by Ji Mo. The powerful force directly slammed into the arm wielding the weapon.

The arm instantly broke, then disintegrated, exploding into fragments along with his weapon. It was pierced by the black-gold fist and exploded into a mist of blood.

“Rumble!”

Every move Ji Mo made was accompanied by the sound of heaven and earth collapsing. His blood Qi surged to the sky. At this moment, he was like a peerless War God.

Under the encirclement of the Eight Saints, he crippled the weakest Saint with a single blow.
