"Your turn!" The indifferent voice rang out once again from the void, sounding like a death knell, making the four golden elders of the Azure Dragon Hall shiver uncontrollably.

In less than a day, their moods had taken a complete turnaround.!

Though they regretted their decisions now, there was nothing they could do.

"Shall we four go together?" One of the golden elders asked.

The expressions on the other three golden elders mirrored his sentiments.

In normal circumstances, they would feel a sense of shame in throwing out such an idea. But under the present situation, they unhesitatingly voiced it out.

Faced with this monstrous youth, they had absolutely no confidence to respond with a one-on-one challenge.

Even if the youth's master had instructed Chu Mo not to use his terrifying blade skill recklessly.

But he didn't strictly forbid it entirely, did he?

What if Chu Mo couldn't handle the situation and decided to unleash the terrifying move? They had no chance of breaking through it!

Yes, even if they watched a hundred times as Chu Mo drew his blade, they couldn't muster the confidence to withstand his attack.

Chu Mo twitched the corners of his mouth, looking at these four individuals who collectively were over two hundred years old. He wanted to say: "You really have no shame!"

However, thinking about it, if his master wasn't by his side now, he probably would have been in a completely reversed situation. He was actually on equal grounds with this powerful force!

Upon this reflection, Chu Mo let go of his mocking thoughts.

Now he only had one thought in his mind: quickly grow stronger!

The real show of strength would be when he no longer needed his master's protection. When he could stand up to these people alone with confidence... that's strength!

"You four, attack together." Before the Demon Lord could speak, Chu Mo looked at the four golden elders of Azure Dragon Hall and spoke plainly.

"Kid, those are your own words!"

"You're asking for it!"

"Don't fault us if you get hurt!"

"Attack!"

The four golden elders, cornered and desperate, bared their fangs and growled.

They charged at Chu Mo, rushing headlong into battle.

"Rainfall Needle Storm!"

One of the golden elders from the Azure Dragon Hall charged towards Chu Mo, raising both hands and releasing hundreds of steel needles!

The needles glowed with a ghostly blue light, swarming like a cloud of hornets, raining down on Chu Mo!

Then, the air was filled with a putrid sweet smell.

These needles... they were laced with lethal poison!

Even the Demon Lord in the void couldn't stop a flicker of intense cold from passing through his eyes. He had spent his earlier days hunted and forced into exile by countless enemies, his understanding of human greed and darkness was clearer than anyone else.

The Poison of Seven Killings in his body was a consequence of those who pursued him.

If it wasn't for him taking on such a good apprentice, he probably would have been rotting for a long time amidst the dust and wild grasses.

Thus, the Demon Lord instinctively had an intense aversion to those who used poison.

Just as the Demon Lord was considering if he should step in to help Chu Mo, he saw Chu Mo's figure moving like a shadow, dodging all the poisoned needles!

"Good lad, excellent Phantom Swift Steps!" The Demon Lord couldn't help but praise Chu Mo in his heart!

The Phantom Swift Steps were indeed part of the ancient lineage he possessed, and they were considered top-tier, even in the Immortal Realm. Due to his lack of immortal power, Chu Mo could not fully invoke the essence of these steps. However, he understood some of its mysteries.

When it voiced in the world of martial arts, it was equally magnificent!

But that was not all. Chu Mo's arms waved in mid-air, seemingly creating the illusion of hundreds of arms waving simultaneously!

He caught thirty to forty of the poison-tipped needles headed his way in the blink of an eye!

"Thousand Heavy Hands!" The Demon Lord murmured astonishingly: "Who would have thought that this lad could practice Thousand Heavy Hands... Although he has just scratched the surface, it's already a miracle!"

The three golden elders who, along with Chu Mo, were seemingly aware of the prowess of the old man launching the poison-tipped needles fell half a space behind him.

However, when Chu Mo masterfully avoided the attack and caught three to four dozen poison-tipped needles, the elders' faces changed drastically, and they scattered in all directions!

"Here you go." Chu Mo smiled coldly, flicked his wrist, and the three to four dozen poison-tipped needles whistled through the void towards the elders!

A terrifying sound broke through the air, and the old man at the front gave out a cry of agony!

A needle was lodged in the center of his forehead!

The three-inch-long needle almost completely disappeared into the man's forehead.

Following a cry of agony, the elder fell to the ground, his otherwise rosy face turning black.

"What a domineering poison!" cried Chu Mo in astonishment.

Then there were three more screams.

The other three golden elders of the Azure Dragon Hall were all struck by the poison-tipped needles. The lethal poison took effect almost instantly. Poor elders didn't even have a chance to react. They were poisoned to death by their own comrades' weapon.

With the thumping sound of bodies hitting the floor, all three of the golden elders lay dead, their faces, necks, hands... almost their entire bodies turned deadly black!

The intensity of the poison on these needles was spine-chilling.

Chu Mo stood there, somewhat dumbfounded, twitching at the corner of his mouth, murmuring, "Was it that simple?"

"Simple?" The Demon Lord sneered from the void. "You find it simple because the techniques you've cultivated are many levels above this world. Martial arts are not just about martial prowess, but also about learning."

The Demon Lord said calmly, "The martial part implies the subtlety of the moves; the learning part pertains to the underlying principles of the moves! The more advanced the technique, the greater the control and power. Your technique, compared to theirs, is like a distinguished scholar to a man who has read only for a few days… they simply can't be compared."

Chu Mo nodded in acknowledgment and then asked, "Master, do these techniques I have cultivated really have no names?"

"Of course they do!" The Demon Lord replied lightly, "But I don't want you to be distracted by this, so I didn't bother telling you. All the martial arts in the world are about whose moves are subtler, whose moves have stronger lethality! This is the rule of the Four Symbols Continent. But when you reach the Spirit Realm and possess spirit power, you will find that these techniques, when launched, are completely different from when you were in the Four Symbols Continent. In the Immortal Realm, it's even more so! So, knowing their names really doesn't make much of a difference."

"It matters! At least I should know what I have practiced, right?" Chu Mo rolled his eyes, determined.

"If you're so eager to know, I don't mind telling you. However, these moves, once you're in the Immortal Realm, would probably be the secret techniques that larger sects rely on. I hope you won't be affected by this," the Demon Lord sated indifferently.

Chu Mo immediately understood his master's concern.

These techniques were originally obtained from the remnants of his master's peers, but were then stolen and appropriated by others.

Now, they have all become the secret skills of their respective sects.

This is why the Demon Lord had once said that once Chu Mo entered the Immortal Realm and applied these techniques, he might immediately face assassination.

Knowing too much would definitely lead to distraction! This was the Demon Lord's concern.

Understanding this, Chu Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master, even though these techniques have become the secret skills of other sects, they will ultimately flourish at my own hands!"

Chu Mo thought to himself: Because I have Jade! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com and cast your votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
