Of the three left, two women and one man, all understood the meaning conveyed by the middle-aged man. They could die here, but Shangguan Nan couldn't!

If he died here, then when they returned to the family, they would all certainly face a terrible punishment. Thinking of the Shanguan Family's rules, all of them had a determined look in their eyes.

However, Shangguan Nan seemed rather annoyed, shouting with anger, "What do you mean by that? Are you suggesting that I, Shangguan Nan, am a coward who fears death?"

"You are the legitimate son. If any accidents were to befall you, consider what our fate would be." The woman who had stayed silent earlier said calmly.

Shangguan Nan gritted his teeth saying, "I will make the situation clear to the family! It won't be on you!"

"The four of us are enough!" The woman spoke, glancing at the middle-aged man, "Attack!"

The middle-aged man nodded, all four of them advancing towards Chu Mo. Unlike the previous three, their movements were all very cautious. Forming a semicircle, they sought to completely encircle Chu Mo.

"No matter the outcome today, you will not escape the full-force retaliation of the Shangguan Family!" Shangguan Nan stood beside the stone coffin, his eyes coldly watching Chu Mo as he said, "Not only you, anyone related to you, we will investigate and find. Don't question the methods and determination of the Shangguan Family. Because of you, they will all meet terrible ends! Remember, this is the outside world! Once dead... you can't come back to life! Also, I will scatter the souls of every single one of them! This is the price for offending the Shangguan Family!"

Chu Mo laughed coldly, "We'll talk about that when the time comes! You can kill other people's families, and other people can also kill yours! Your Shangguan Family is right there! Don't be too confident in your family's defensive power. If you dare to hurt even one person around me, I'll dare to kill ten of yours!"

Chu Mo remembered the first time he clashed with Shangguan Nan. The latter threatened him using his loved ones and friends. As he was still doing the same this time, it was evident that Shangguan Nan wasn't joking. This was his true character and modus operandi.

If this was the case, what did he have to consider?

"The last person who threatened me like this had his whole family wiped out." Shangguan Nan said lightly, "If you have the guts, try causing a ruckus in the Shangguan Family and see what happens."

"Then let's give it a try." Chu Mo's face suddenly broke into a smile. The sword in his hand trembled. Plum blossoms fell in the void once again.

"Be careful!" The middle-aged man roared, bringing forth a treasure that exuded a gentle force, protecting all of them within a shield. Then he coldly ordered, "Attack!"

The two women and the man beside him each took out their weapons, all attacking Chu Mo at the same time, intending to kill Chu Mo on the spot.

Plum blossoms fell on the barrier formed by the treasure the middle-aged man had summoned, creating ripples, but they could not penetrate it.

A look of delight crossed the middle-aged man's face as he sneered, "Let me show you the power of a Dharma instrument from the Heavenly Realm!"

As he spoke, he launched himself at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo was a little annoyed. Although these people's realms were suppressed, they were all carrying a bunch of high-grade Dharma treasures from the Heavenly Realm that didn't require mana to activate, which was very frustrating!

However, he wasn't very afraid. Most of these Dharma treasures were defensive. Dharma treasures for attacks, which didn't require Mana for activation, were extremely rare. If these people had them, they would probably have used them already.

Shangguan Nan stood there watching the fight, his face expressed a bleak aura and displeased. For some reason, when he looked at the man in front of him, he suddenly thought of that damned boy he came across in the Human Layer!

Chu Mo!

Yes, it was that guy. Back then, he took fancy of the blue-blooded Elf princess and intended to court her. However, Chu Mo intervened and stole her from him. Not only that, but he also almost conned him. Thankfully he stayed calm at that time, otherwise, like Zhuge Changping who was later suppressed by rule forces and burnt alive in the Illusionary God Realm, he might not be standing here.

Some time ago, the bulletin board broke the news saying that Chu Mo and Lin Bai might be the same person, and both were from Mortal Realm.

"That damned vermin, I hope I never have to see you again!" A harsh light flashed in Shangguan Nan's eyes.

The battle on their side had already begun.

The narrow space was indeed unsuitable for fighting, especially for the Shangguan family's party. The four couldn't fully exercise their might. However, as they often practiced together, their attack on Chu Mo was extremely fierce due to their great cooperation.

The sword technique Chu Mo displayed was extremely formidable. The heritage of the Supreme class was undoubtedly top-tier technique!

Even without any magic, the technique alone was impressive enough.

At this point, the middle-aged man from the Shangguan family could almost confirm that Chu Mo was the successor of the Plum Blossom Sword.

The opponent's sword technique was excessively sharp!

Were it not for their defensive Dharma treasure, the four of them probably wouldn't be a match for him.

Both the middle-aged man and his partners became more and more shocked as the fight went on, and a strong sense of fear welled up in their hearts.

How did such a road-blocking robber appear out of the blue?

The battle continued, with both sides at a standstill.

Four of them were attacking Chu Mo but couldn't break Chu Mo's sword technique. Meanwhile, Chu Mo too was unable to break the defensive barrier set up by their Dharma treasure.

But if this continued, the treasure would eventually run out of energy, and when that happened, these four would truly be in danger.

A ferocious look appeared on the middle-aged man's face as he suddenly roared, "Sacrifice!"

The young man next to him instantly gave up his defense and pounced directly at Chu Mo.

Phut!

The sword in Chu Mo's hand violently pierced into the chest of the young man, accurately stabbing through his heart.

"Ah!" The young man let out a pathetic scream, his face distorted in pain. Not stopping, he lunged towards Chu Mo.

The sword that pierced his heart had now been stabbed right through him!

But this young man stretched out his arms, intending to hold Chu Mo tightly!

The two women had fierce looks on their faces, and they too abandoned all defense and threw themselves at Chu Mo.

Boom! Boom!

Chu Mo's empty hand issued two consecutive punches!

The Three Talents Boxing Technique - Man Fist!

The two women screamed, their bodies being thrown out by the pressure in the space causing them to spit out fresh blood. They fell to the ground, their life or death unknown.

But at that moment, the middle-aged man's attack... had finally reached Chu Mo!

He used lives of the others to secure an overpowering strike at Chu Mo.

A sword was slashed on Chu Mo's right shoulder!

A ruthless expression appeared on the middle-aged man's face as he growled, "Die!"

However, the scene he had imagined, where Chu Mo lost his sword-hand, did not happen. The sword... seemed to have stricken a steel, producing a loud sound of clashing metal.

Clang!
