33: Thunderous Suppression

However, the development of events greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

The strength of Ji Mo and Song Dong was unimaginably powerful, and with both sides frequently revealing their trump cards, they ultimately did not end up in a mutually destructive situation.

And the victorious Ji Mo seemed to have recovered his Origin Qi in such a short amount of time.

However, no one could be sure if he was just pretending, so for a time, everyone observed from the shadows, and no one dared to make a move rashly.

"If you want to make a move, then by all means, bring it on! If you don't have the guts, then get lost!"

Ji Mo let out a violent shout, his voice like a great bell, and the robust sound spread across the space like rolling thunder.

However, the only response he received was deathly silence; the mountain forest fell into a creepy and eerie quiet.

Seeing this, a fierce light appeared in Ji Mo's eyes, and his ruthless nature was fully revealed.

It seems that these people truly do not shed tears until they see the coffin.

He quickly formed a Hand Seal with both hands and muttered a chant, and the heaven and earth creation bell instantly shone with great brilliance, flying rapidly toward the direction where the malice was strongest.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

With three more melodious yet soul-shaking bell tolls, three invisible sound waves spread out like surging waves.

Wherever they passed, the surrounding trees were blasted apart, and wood chips flew everywhere.

As the dust and smoke slightly dispersed, the figures of a five-person team were revealed.

The five people in the team all looked fierce and malicious; there were three men and two women, all over middle age. Judging by their temperament and attire, they appeared to be a team of Loose Cultivators.

Since they harbored hostility, in Ji Mo's eyes, they were already mortal enemies.

Ji Mo would not be soft-hearted toward his enemies; without a word, he pushed his Lightness Skill to the limit.

In an instant, he transformed into a dazzling white lightning bolt and, with lightning speed, charged fiercely toward the five of them.

"Hmph, I don't believe that after that great battle just now, you can still be in your prime state! Kill!"

The burly man leading them, with a face full of flesh and a fierce expression, roared and suddenly drew the cold, gleaming broadsword from his back.

Suddenly, a massive blade Aura condensed out of thin air, carrying an unstoppable, sharp Aura, and slashed fiercely toward Ji Mo.

The blade Aura shimmered with a chilling cold light, as if it could cut everything in front of it into two pieces.

"Blazing Sun Blade!"

The burly man shouted, swung his broadsword violently, and an extremely sharp blade technique was instantly unleashed.

The blade Aura spread wantonly like a surging tide, and wherever it passed, the surrounding air seemed to be cut by sharp blades, emitting a "hissing" sound.

Ji Mo, however, remained calm and fearless.

He circulated his Spiritual Qi, and the heaven and earth creation bell released a brilliant bell light, protecting his entire body like a solid shield.

Immediately after, he raised his fist, which shone with golden light, and smashed it fiercely toward the oncoming massive blade Aura with the momentum of an overwhelming force.

The wind from his fist howled like a sharp gale, as if it wanted to tear the space in front of him apart.

"Bang!"

A loud noise shook the mountain forest, and that massive blade Aura, which seemed incredibly powerful, shattered instantly under Ji Mo's punch, which contained terrifying power, dissipating into countless lights in the air.

The burly man widened his eyes in disbelief, seemingly unable to fathom that the blade Aura he had unleashed with all his might had been so easily shattered by Ji Mo.

Seeing this, the other four no longer dared to stand by and watch; after exchanging glances, they attacked together, launching a fierce assault on Ji Mo alongside the burly man.

For a moment, palm winds howled, fist winds were sharp, sword Auras flickered, and blade Auras dazzled; various powerful energies intertwined and collided in this space, as if they wanted to tear the entire space to shreds.

The frenzied attacks pressed toward Ji Mo like a surging tide, with an astonishing Aura.

"Die! All of you, die!"

Suddenly, Ji Mo erupted with a heaven-shaking roar.

At the same time, the heaven and earth creation bell once again emitted a melodious yet infinitely powerful bell toll.

With Ji Mo as the center, the sound waves erupted instantly at close range like a terrifying spatial storm.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

Accompanied by a few muffled sounds, the three people who had attempted to attack Ji Mo at close range were all struck by the immense power that Ji Mo erupted with.

One could see their skulls bursting open as if hit by a heavy hammer, and half of their bodies seemed to be torn by an invisible force.

They instantly burst, shattering into chunks of flesh and blood, flying off in different directions.

Scattered on the ground, here a piece and there a piece, it was like a tragic and eerie scene.

The remaining beautiful woman and the tall, thin man were terrified to the point of losing their wits by the bloody and horrifying scene before them; how could they dare to stay any longer? They turned around and fled desperately in a panic.

How could Ji Mo let them escape as they wished?

He pushed his Lightness Skill to the limit, his figure flashing like a ghost, and he caught up to them in an instant.

At this moment, Ji Mo's fist seemed to carry the terrifying power to destroy the world; he punched out violently, directly shattering the bodies of the two.

"Done for!"

With two muffled sounds, the lives of the two were ended right there.

"Are you still watching?" Ji Mo's icy, bone-chilling voice drifted through the slightly deathly silent mountain forest like the cold wind of winter.

This time, there was no longer the slightest sound of questioning.

Only a "rustling" sound could be heard in the forest, as if those who had been hiding in the shadows and peeking had all chosen to leave.

Ji Mo sensed carefully, confirming that there was no longer the presence of anyone else around.

With a thought, the heaven and earth creation bell instantly decomposed into countless tiny lights, covering the corpses scattered on the ground like snowflakes.

In a moment, the area was cleaned up completely, leaving only the belongings scattered on the ground.

Ji Mo methodically cleaned up the battlefield and then put away the competition token that had dropped from the Golden Flame Lion.

In this intense battle, Ji Mo's greatest gain was undoubtedly that innate battle armor.

The value of this battle armor far exceeded the sum of the value of all the items Ji Mo was carrying.

Innate items are truly extremely rare for people in the Houtian Realm.

Only this Song Dong, relying on his powerful older brother, could possess such a precious treasure.

It is a pity that he himself is a piece of trash who has a treasure but lacks the strength to wield it.

Ji Mo pondered that when he found some free time, he would dispose of this innate battle armor in this City of Chaos.

After all, keeping this thing on him was undoubtedly a huge disaster waiting to happen.

Before solving the problem of Song Jianyi, he could neither bring it back to the Sect nor did he have any chance to use it.

At this moment, it seemed completely like a chicken rib; tasteless to eat, but a pity to discard.

It would be better to take advantage of being in this City of Chaos to exchange it for resources needed to improve his own strength.

Ji Mo believed that the City of Chaos was a place where dragons and snakes mingled, and there was no lack of various rare treasures; he would definitely be able to find what he urgently needed.

If his luck was good enough, perhaps he could even exchange it for a treasure suitable for use in the Xiantian Realm to give to Xue'er; that would be even better.

He found a clean spot on the ground and sat cross-legged against a large tree; these people's cultivation levels were not bad.

After Ji Mo refined them, the feedback of Spiritual Qi raised his cultivation Realm to the 9th layer Perfection.

Furthermore, more than 20 furnace fragments were decomposed; there were now over 200, and Ji Mo was very satisfied.

After this battle, Ji Mo deeply felt that he must accelerate his pace of Cultivate from now on.

He had originally thought that with a terrifying strength of 160,000 jin, he would be enough to cope with many crises, but he never expected.

That he couldn't even break the defense of an Innate protective item; this truly greatly exceeded his expectations.

From his exchange with Song Dong, Ji Mo deduced that if he wanted to break the defense of an Innate protective item, he needed to possess at least 200,000 jin of strength.

However, this was only in regard to protective equipment wielded by those in the Houtian Realm.

If he were to face an expert like Song Jianyi, perhaps even if he only activated this equipment and stood there without moving.

Even if he attacked with all his might, in the end, he would only be exhausted, yet he wouldn't be able to hurt even a drop of the other person's blood.

"One must possess at least 300,000 jin of strength to have the capital to contend with an Innate Martial Artist; perhaps only by reaching a strength of 400,000 to 500,000 jin is it possible to kill an Innate Martial Artist."

Ji Mo pondered to himself.

It must be said that through this battle, he had gained a lot; at the very least, he had a more intuitive and profound understanding of this mysterious and powerful Xiantian Realm.

Ji Mo took out the token, and after sensing it slightly, he knew that the token closest to him was about a few kilometers away.

To him, the token itself did not have much practical use; having one in hand was actually enough.

The greatest value of this token, on the contrary, was that it could be used as "bait."

Given Ji Mo's character, he truly could not bring himself to actively kill others for no reason.

However, once someone showed malice toward him, he would not be soft-hearted.

Instead, he was very happy to strike first, cleanly and efficiently sending his enemies to the afterlife; he was quite adept at doing such things.

This place was not suitable for a long stay; many people in this area had witnessed him making a move, and presumably, they would all be wary of him and would avoid him from afar.

Ji Mo pondered that he needed to change places. Firstly, it would allow him to get rid of everyone's attention, and secondly, he could conveniently search for Yao Beasts to hunt.

After all, in his eyes, these Yao Beasts were all rare treasures.

Whether refined into a monster beast pill or some Materials from the Yao Beast's body, they were of great benefit to his Cultivate.
