Chapter 88: If You Have the Ability, Come and Prove It

Page 1/3

Everyone present twitched at the corners of their eyes. Lu Yangyun was equally astonished, scratching his nose awkwardly. He had thought the class monitor had exhausted all his tricks, reached his limits. But unexpectedly, he was still so powerful, able to muster enough strength to smash the Mo family residence once more. Fortunately, he hadn't managed to call him to run earlier, or else he would have lost face terribly. After all, those scoundrels from the Dao of Fate were still broadcasting live.

Across the four continents, countless cultivators watching the live stream were startled yet again.

"Damn, look at Xu Tianjiao's face—he's gone completely pale, but he's still holding out?"

"Where did he get so many magical treasures? Counting that bronze flying sword, that's two treasures already."

"Ha, you must be blind. That bronze seal is clearly more terrifying than the sword; it's probably beyond the usual magical item tier."

"Today really opened my eyes. I underestimated Xu Tianjiao."

"I did too. Thought he'd just go to the Mo family and die, but turns out he's a ruthless one."

"Indeed, his methods are truly savage. He just condensed his Golden Core, stepped into the Golden Core stage, and immediately detonated it without hesitation to invoke that magical seal. He really spared no cost to destroy the Mo family."

The crowd's discussion fell into a brief silence. It seemed there had never been someone so ruthless right from the start among the peerless talents.

Many female cultivators recalled scenes of Xu Zhe's ferocity, shivering involuntarily.

"The Mo family probably never expected this; otherwise, they would've activated their array and prepared, it wouldn't have been so tragic," someone remarked, blaming the Mo family for underestimating their opponent.

"Not so sure. Xu Tianjiao's strength is terrifying, impossible to fathom."

"If we detonated our Golden Core, we'd probably be crippled for years, if not dead. But look at him—after blowing up his core, what did he do next?"

"He still had energy left to slice Mo Xiaolian into a thousand pieces, torment her to death, grind her bones to ashes, and then smashed the Mo family residence again."

"If it weren't confirmed he's only been awakened for just over sixty days, you'd think he was some ancient monster thousands of years old."

...

Yaochi Holy Land, Western Kun Continent.

The disciples of Yaochi watching the scene wore grim expressions; the atmosphere was heavy. Originally, they wanted to witness the event in person, since the Mo family wasn't far from Yaochi, but tensions between the two factions had recently escalated, so no one went to see the Mo family's reaction.

They too believed Xu Zhe had been overwhelmed by rage, rushing to the Mo family for a suicidal outcome.

When Lu Yangyun appeared, they thought Xu Zhe would be saved, but then Cao Wu showed up, pinning Lu Yangyun down instead.

So their interest was rekindled, but what happened next completely terrified them.

The outcome was hard for them to accept, and so they erupted in curses again.

"Despicable! Mo Xiaolian may have been a bit arrogant, but she was ultimately a weak woman. How could he be so cruel?"

"Exactly! His methods are utterly insane; I'm shaking with anger. Xu Zhe doesn't deserve to be called a man."

"Sisters, let's all go online later and boycott this kind of man."

"What do you mean 'this kind'? Are any men worth anything? We should boycott all men."

"Yes, support! We must represent all female cultivators and stand up again."

The Yaochi disciples were instantly fired up...

Meanwhile, at the Mo family estate.

There was no estate left, only a heap of collapsed ruins, the entire mountain flattened and leveled. The massive bronze palace still stood, and below, the sounds of pounding echoed once more.

"Class monitor, come with me. Southern Sky Continent is safe," Lu Yangyun was still urging.

Not to mention those lurking in the shadows plotting against Xu Zhe, the Mo family, though smashed and with many dead, still had elders alive. Those elders were monsters above the Integration stage; now Xu Zhe had provoked them all and used the bronze palace to suppress them, which was a clear humiliation.

Once they dig themselves out and surface, they'll surely hunt Xu Zhe to the ends of the earth.

Looking across the four continents, only the Vermilion Bird Army could protect Xu Zhe now.

Others might have the strength, but not necessarily the willingness.

"No need. I have other places to go. You should leave quickly, lest they vent their fury on you after they come out," Xu Zhe replied calmly, smiling.

Lu Yangyun was stunned: "Come on, class monitor, the Mo family wouldn't dare touch me, but if you don't come with me, Tong-ge will kill me. Besides… to be honest, where else can you go besides Southern Sky Continent?"

"I can go anywhere."

Xu Zhe spoke quietly, "But I plan to visit the Immortal Burial Valley first. Oh, by the way…"

He suddenly turned his head, looking toward the Dao of Fate disciples, smiling at the camera: "I'm headed to the Immortal Burial Valley. Anyone who wants to kill me, try your best. Otherwise, when I come out… hehe."

Hehe?

Every cultivator watching the broadcast shivered.

That "hehe" was loaded! It was a public challenge to all those with ill intentions toward him.

But what did he just say—where was he going?

"Immortal Burial Valley? Absolutely not, class monitor! That's one of the seven forbidden lands, incredibly dangerous, you—" Lu Yangyun cried out, genuinely frightened.

Was the class monitor insane, wanting to go into the Immortal Burial Valley?

That place was far more terrifying than the Mo family; it'd be safer to stay on the run across the continents, dodging the Mo elders.

"Don't bother persuading me. You, kid, after all these years, still can't read the room. That place is a treasure trove for me," Xu Zhe laughed.

"…"

Lu Yangyun was dazed—treasure trove?

The Immortal Burial Valley, a treasure trove?

He couldn't understand, but felt a strange sense of relief, finally sensing something familiar about his class monitor.

Just now, that demeanor, that presence—it was truly intimidating.

"Right, there's also Cao Wu."

Xu Zhe spoke again.

Cao Wu, hearing his name, almost called out "Present!" but quickly caught himself, looking at Xu Zhe with a dark expression.

"You and Qi Ming, both have changed! If I have time, I'll come find you for a good chat," Xu Zhe said with a meaningful smile.

Cao Wu's expression shifted instantly, a chill running from his heels to the back of his neck.

"Alright, I'm leaving."

At that moment, Xu Zhe waved his hand forward once more.

Boom!

The entire bronze palace trembled; a final wisp of residual spiritual energy surged into Xu Zhe's body. The palace shrank rapidly, transforming into a beam of light and flew into his hand.

The next instant, Xu Zhe mounted the bronze flying sword, merging man and sword, vanishing in a flash, leaving only a lingering shadow.

The once bustling Mo family estate was now nothing but a chaotic wasteland, the rubble stained with streaks of fresh blood.

Bang!

With a tremendous crash, a huge pit exploded in the ruins.

Several figures burst out, their terrifying aura and overwhelming rage flooding the area.

"Xu Zhe!"

Mo Shanhai, head of the Mo family, his hair bristling with fury, bellowed.

Behind him, several elders wore dark expressions, murderous intent blazing.

As they appeared, their vast spiritual senses swept across the land, instantly locking onto Xu Zhe's direction; they soared into the sky, pursuing him.

Lu Yangyun and the others remained where they were, staring blankly at the Mo family ruins, incredulous.

They had thought only some of the younger, weaker Mo family members had died.

But the reality was far beyond their imagination.

This… damn, only a few elders and the patriarch remained of the entire Mo family?

Nascent Soul and below dying was expected—after all, that was a magical seal of treasure tier.

But even the Mo family's Out-of-Body and Divine Soul stage cultivators were dead?

"Holy shit!"

Lu Yangyun couldn't help but curse aloud, marveling at the class monitor's power.

"…"

Cao Wu and two surviving Divine Soul stage followers felt their scalps prickling, hearts trembling.

Earlier, though they couldn't sense the other Divine Soul followers, they guessed they were either dead or suppressed by the magical treasure, their aura blocked.

But it was just speculation—now, seeing it firsthand, they were terrified.

They had originally been hiding in the Mo family estate.

If Lu Yangyun hadn't come, they probably wouldn't have bothered coming out.

"Cao Wu, you're pretty lucky! If I hadn't shown up, you wouldn't have saved your sorry life. In the future… oh, pardon me, I almost forgot—the class monitor just said he'd come back for a chat. You might not have a future at all."

Lu Yangyun looked at Cao Wu, sneering and mocking, then waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.

"Hey, boss, it's over, right? We still need to settle the final payment. How about a membership card? Recently, our Frightening God Guild has a promotion—recharge a million spirit stones, get fifty thousand free. The discounts are great."

"Boss, our Blood Robe Tower has deals too. Buy one assassination, get one free—better value than Frightening God!"

[Second update delivered. A quick report: slept late this afternoon, saw the subscription numbers for the first chapter, about four thousand, which is much better than expected. I'm grateful for everyone's support, and I'll keep working hard. I'll be busy with New Year's preparations, so my energy will be focused on this new book; after the holidays, I'll find time to write the old one. Lastly, please vote for the monthly ticket.]
