Chu Mo had no idea that after he left, the group from the Yanhuang Greater Domain had also made such a decision. Right now, he was advancing towards the Withered Leaf Forbidden Area with Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng.

However, the journey was not exactly peaceful. There were still cultivators continuously coming forth to challenge him. What bewildered the challengers was that Chu Mo was actually with Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng. Everyone who came and saw this scene was completely dumbfounded. They were almost scared silly.

If it were only Chu Mo alone, they might be confident: Others can't defeat him, but I can.

But with Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng by Chu Mo's side, seeing the trio chatting and laughing, it made their scalps tingle!

What's going on? Since when did Lin Hei start mingling together with these two? Zi Dao, aren't you the top of the Heavenly Ranking? Shouldn't you be diligently cultivating to maintain your top position instead of mingling with them?

And Liu Yunfeng too, there are many of your Haoyue Sect brothers and sisters in the Trial Field, why have you abandoned them?

How to fight, that's a huge issue. There's simply no way to fight them!

However, Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng didn't react at all to these challengers. They even teased those challengers, telling them if you have the guts, defeat Lin Hei, then you'll also be a power in the Heavenly Ranking!

This is simply a pit, a deep, bottomless pit!

Seeing the demeanor of the three, to say they didn't have a good relationship, only a fool would believe. Even if someone really managed to defeat Lin Hei, would the other two just stand by and watch?

Many challengers, upon seeing this scene, left sulkily, giving up on what they considered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Only a very few challengers, after confirming repeatedly that neither Liu Yunfeng nor Zi Dao would intervene, directly challenged Chu Mo.

The outcome goes without saying, they were directly beaten till they cried by Chu Mo.

Zi Dao laughed and said: "See, our presence has spared you much trouble?"

Liu Yunfeng wholeheartedly agreed and even incited Chu Mo: "You don't need to hold back, just wipe them all out. You see, why isn't anyone challenging Zi Dao?"

Chu Mo was speechless, thinking how many years had Zi Dao been famous already? Moreover, Zi Dao's sword never spared anyone's life. Although he looks like an immortal floating in white robes, he is actually extremely ruthless. Apart from a few acquaintances on the Heavenly Ranking, Zi Dao's battles were always perfect and precise slaughters.

Just like a fierce beast hunting, if he could kill with one strike, he absolutely wouldn't use a second move.

This also reminded Chu Mo of the past when Zi Dao killed that reincarnation beast in the Reincarnation Abyss with grace, precision, and ruthlessness.

Zi Dao looked at Chu Mo, seriously saying: "The people coming to challenge you, there really is no need for mercy. Because they are all here to kill you. At the very least, they wish to step over you to rise higher. Why show mercy to such people?"

Chu Mo said somewhat wryly: "Before you guys came, I never showed mercy anyway, the recent challengers are mostly Earth Ranking cultivators acquainted with you guys, how can I kill them in front of you two?"

"So that was the reason? Just kill them, no need to save our face. Those people aren't friends with us anyway. What does knowing them matter?" Liu Yunfeng said nonchalantly.

Zi Dao also nodded, smiling as he said: "Indeed, that's right, there's no need to look at our faces. Because they are here to trouble you."

As they were speaking, a fluctuation came from the distant void, and a figure emerged from the void, slowly walking towards Chu Mo.

Both Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng's faces showed a hint of surprise, almost in unison they said: "Hu Xiao? Why is it you?"

The person who arrived also looked shocked upon seeing Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng, exclaimed with great surprise: "What are you two doing here?"

Hu Xiao, now the fifth cultivator on the Heavenly Ranking, comes from an ancient clan in the Luotian Immortal Domain. His cultivation level is about on par with Liu Yunfeng. Usually, if Liu Yunfeng were to be ranked, he would be right next to Hu Xiao, although before, Liu Yunfeng had always been a notch above Hu Xiao.

As for Zi Dao and Hu Xiao, they had known each other a long time ago. Zi Dao can be called a true "veteran" of the Trial Field, having grown up there since he was young. The number of unparalleled Heavenly Geniuses he had defeated surpassed many others.

Hu Xiao had picked Zi Dao as his first challenge when he first entered the Trial Field!

In that battle, Hu Xiao lost, but Zi Dao did not kill him, because Hu Xiao's family, the Hu Family, had good relations with Zi Dao's family for generations. Out of respect for his deceased mother, Zi Dao spared Hu Xiao once.

Since then, Hu Xiao and Zi Dao had become friends. Although their relationship wasn't very close, they were definitely not enemies.

Thus, seeing Hu Xiao here, Zi Dao was very surprised and directly asked: "Hu Xiao, you, ranked fifth on the Heavenly Ranking, coming to find trouble with the ninth, what's the meaning of this?"

Seeing the situation, Hu Xiao was a bit stunned, but then he understood something and muttered to himself that Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng were actually together with Lin Hei. It looked like today's fight wasn't going to happen.

"Heh heh…" Hu Xiao gave an awkward laugh: "Someone approached me, offered a big sum, wanting Lin Hei's life, and well… I've been a bit short on cash lately, so I took the job."

"Someone? The Xue Family?" Zi Dao raised an eyebrow: "Is that all they amount to? You too are quite disgraceful!"

Because thus far, among the Heavenly Geniuses that Chu Mo has provoked in the Trial Field, only Xue Wulei had any notable fame. And probably only the Xue Family could afford to hire someone of Hu Xiao's caliber.

"Heh… Heh." Hu Xiao awkwardly laughed twice, not denying, but there was some regret in his heart. Unlike many other cultivators on the Earth and Heavenly Rankings who confidently believed that Chu Mo's victory over Xue Wulei and securing the ninth rank on the Heavenly Ranking was just drunk luck. No matter by what means, if you can defeat your opponent, you definitely have the strength. Because any cultivator, in a place like the Trial Field, can never completely guard against another's sneak attack. Besides, since the Xue Family directly came to him, it proved indeed that Xue Wuqing was not Lin Hei's match. Otherwise, why not personally seek revenge?

"You didn't know that Xue Wuqing had already sought him?" Liu Yunfeng looked at Hu Xiao and asked.

Hu Xiao scratched his head: "I did hear about that, saying that you two, along with Zhang Yalu, Jiang Caiyue, and even Prince Ji Qi stepped forward. However, I always felt you guys were trying to recruit Lin Hei. Didn't think much of it."

Speaking of which, Hu Xiao felt a bit depressed: "Forget it, I might as well return their stuff back to them. I got a bit tricked by them too."

"Why step back now? No stepping back." Zi Dao said, "What's that?"

Hu Xiao glanced at Chu Mo.

Zi Dao waved his hand: "Our own brother."

Hu Xiao felt a slight chill in his heart, and his eyes towards Chu Mo suddenly changed. Over the years, in this Trial Field, not many have become friends with Zi Dao. Even fewer have been acknowledged by him as brothers! At least Hu Xiao hadn't heard of any.

He thought to himself: It seems this Lin Hei must be extraordinary. Also, what is going on with Liu Yunfeng?

But he didn't ask aloud and instead said, "Thirty thousand gold of Five Elements God Metal can forge a weapon, I've been recently studying artifact forging."

Sss!

Liu Yunfeng and Zi Dao both couldn't help but gasp.

Liu Yunfeng praised, "That's no small expense!"

Zi Dao sneered, "The unworthy Xue Family, how shameful. It seems this time Xue Wulei must have faced his inner demons. How fragile."

Hu Xiao's lips twitched, "Not fragile I think. I heard Xue Wulei was blown away on the spot, if not for his ancestor's protection and escaping, he might have really fallen here in the Trial Field. When has he ever suffered like this?"

"It's only because everyone respects his ancestor that they bother so little with him. They've spoiled him," Zi Dao sneered, then looking at Hu Xiao said, "Why would you return the item? Don't return it. Just say you never fought."

"Ah?" Hu Xiao's expression changed repeatedly and he said, "This... wouldn't be right, would it? After all... it's not what happened, right?"

Zi Dao lightly smiled, "I know what you're thinking, you're not convinced, right? You think, telling the Xue Family that you lost would be outrageous and they wouldn't believe it, right?"

Hu Xiao glanced at Chu Mo, then silently nodded and said, "That's right, I don't doubt Lin **** friend's strength, but I don't think he is my match."

"Fine, you two fight." Zi Dao said indifferently, "I'll use a Shadow Sound Stone to record everything. So you can have something to show to Xue Family."

As Zi Dao spoke, he directly threw out a Shadow Sound Stone, hovering in the void, then towards the direction of the Shadow Sound Stone, he faintly said, "Xue Family should step back when it's time, if Xue Wulei feels capable let him come himself! Didn't you bring in Hu Xiao? Let everyone see the result of a fair fight!"

Hu Xiao's face turned somewhat awkward as he looked at Zi Dao, "Brother Zi Dao…"

"Stop, Hu Xiao, don't think I'm looking down on you, even if it's me fighting Lin Hei in a life and death battle right now, it's uncertain who would win or lose," Zi Dao said indifferently.

Even Liu Yunfeng couldn't help but glance at Zi Dao, thinking how strong his faith in the third brother is?

Although Hu Xiao was very surprised inside, to be honest, at their level as young Heavenly Geniuses, it really isn't easy for anyone's opinion to be shaken by just a few words.

"Then shall we fight?" Hu Xiao looked at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo nodded, "Okay, let's fight then."

Afterwards, without any further superfluous words, both flew high into the sky, entering the deep extremities of the high heavens. Battles of this level had too great an impact. It's best to move far away to avoid messing up the world below.

Both attacked almost simultaneously.

Hu Xiao's weapon was actually a brush; he first drew a chariot in the void, then leapt onto it, and with the brush, he also drew a long halberd, holding it while standing on the chariot, charging towards Chu Mo.

The chariot rumbled, emitting a thunderous roar and exuding a tremendous pressure.

Chu Mo, holding the Cold Moon Blade, swiped simply with one strike.

Hu Xiao's halberd broke, and the chariot was destroyed.

A drop of blood flowed from his forehead center, wounded by the edge of the Cold Moon Blade. The Cold Moon Blade halted right at Hu Xiao's eyebrow center.

Chu Mo glanced at Zi Dao, thinking: Wasn't I still being merciful?

Just one strike!

Only one strike!

Even Zi Dao himself didn't expect such a result, he chuckled dryly towards the direction of the Shadow Sound Stone, "This... seems a bit fake, doesn't it? You guys go figure it out..."

Speaking, he directly retrieved the Shadow Sound Stone, muttering, "I suddenly don't want to hand over this Shadow Sound Stone."

Liu Yunfeng sighed, "The third's blade art has truly reached greatness!"

Zi Dao nodded, "Mm, truly a master's demeanor!"

Hu Xiao's face turned pale, completely dumbfounded.
