Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law

Chapter 357: Minister by Nature Yet Forced to Be a Traitor


A series of movements flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, Chen Mo ascended the city wall.

Liang Xuan showed a look of surprise. If Chen Mo had dodged his arrow, he wouldn't have reacted like this.

But Chen Mo faced it head-on and blocked it without the saber being shaken down, which he found hard to accept.

Just now, he had used all his strength for that arrow, confident that no martial artist below the Third Grade could withstand it.

"Could it be the opponent is really Upper Third Grade..."

And at the moment Liang Xuan was stunned.

Seven or eight Huai Army soldiers charging at Chen Mo instantly became shattered corpses.

The city wall was only a yard wide, surrounded by people on both sides, making it impossible to shoot arrows. To try to push Chen Mo down, they had to advance forward.

With Chen Mo's aid, the Chen Army soldiers who had previously climbed the city wall suddenly seemed to stabilize their footing on the wall.

But Chen Mo didn't concern himself with those Huai Army soldiers. Instead, he looked toward Liang Xuan at the gate tower, wiped the blood splattered on his face, and smiled, "General Wei Liang Xuan, would you dare fight me?"

Liang Xuan was slow to respond by a second, and Chen Mo slashed a Huai Army soldier in half.

"General Wei should be a smart man, knowing these petty soldiers can't stop me,"

Looking at the corpse severed in half not far away, Liang Xuan looked at Chen Mo with concentration and said softly, "Bring the spear."

What Chen Mo said was indeed true. Just these petty soldiers were indeed no match for him,

Unless Liang Xuan ordered all the guards inside Wuguan to besiege Chen Mo alone, but then what would be the point of defending Wuguan?

Seeing Liang Xuan pick up the long spear, the red number on his forehead changed from 1909 to 1909+86.

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, realizing his prior estimate of two hundred was an exaggeration.

Indeed.

Previously, when he perfected the Demon-breaking Saber Technique, wielding the saber only added 75 points of power. It wasn't until mastering the Great Sun Qi Slash that the added power experienced a doubling increase.

With the additional 86 points of power, it could be seen that Liang Xuan's expertise in spear technique was extremely strong.

"Everyone back off," Chen Mo instructed the "Chen Army" soldiers who had ascended the city wall.

He didn't want his own people to get hurt in the ensuing fight.

"General..." Liang Xuan's personal soldiers' leader wanted to bring the personal soldiers to join Liang Xuan in surrounding Chen Mo, but before he finished speaking, Liang Xuan barked, "You all stand back as well..."

The space on the wall was small, and surrounding Chen Mo in such conditions was akin to sending themselves to death.

"General..." The personal soldiers' leader thought Liang Xuan wanted a fair duel with Chen Mo and couldn't help but remind Liang Xuan not to act impulsively.

"Stand back," Liang Xuan said again, his voice slightly colder.

The personal soldiers' leader had no choice but to obey.

Suddenly, an open space appeared on the city wall for Chen Mo and Liang Xuan to fight.

Watching Liang Xuan approach step by step with his spear, Chen Mo didn't rush to act but instead said, "What's the name Liang Xue calls you, General Wei?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Xuan frowned. The fact that Chen Mo had forcibly taken Liang Xue as a concubine was a disgrace to the Liang Family, but he answered Chen Mo nonetheless, "I am Liang Song's uncle, so Liang Xue calls me Third Uncle."

Liang Mu had two younger brothers; the second brother was Liang Song's father, the third was Liang Xuan.

"Third Uncle," Chen Mo cupped his hand in greeting toward Liang Xuan, then said, "Since Xue'Er isn't here, let me greet you on her behalf."

Liang Xue was Chen Mo's concubine, officially recognized, so Chen Mo couldn't forget his manners when meeting elders.

But Liang Xuan felt Chen Mo was trying to make connections and coldly snorted, "I am not your Third Uncle. I do not acknowledge anything between you and Liang Xue. Don't think calling me Third Uncle will make me show leniency."

"Etiquette cannot be forsaken," Chen Mo cupped his hand again, and then his eyes turned cold, saying, "Rebellious Liang Xuan, Prince Huai treasonously revolted, mobilizing troops in rebellion. The Liang Family has long been favored by the Court, yet instead of thinking of serving the King and repaying the country, you collude with traitors, which is punishable by death.

But heaven has a virtue of sparing life; if you abandon your weapons and surrender, I can spare you."

Politeness before violence, he had shown courtesy. Now it's time for violence.

Although he attacked Huai State because he heard beforehand that Prince Huai planned to attack his Qingzhou.

But the world does not know this. At this moment, his surprise raid on Huai State might appear as betrayal, thus a righteous excuse is necessary.

Prince Huai was already declared a "traitor, rebel" by the Court.

Liang Xuan was momentarily bewildered, just now respectfully called Third Uncle, now directly calling his name and labeling him a rebel, such a swift change of face.

Liang Xuan's expression also darkened, "This art of twisting black and white, you use it skillfully. I return the same words to you: if you surrender, I will also spare you."

"Seems negotiation is unlikely," Chen Mo said.

"If you surrender, negotiation is possible."

"Since that's the case, let's not waste words; let's begin."

"A noble man at heart, yet a thief by action." Liang Xuan gripped his long spear, instinctively gathering strength. The whole spear became coated with frost.

This phrase "noble man" here refers not to a woman.

"Twisting black and white - it's you," Chen Mo countered as an immense innate Spiritual Qi surged from within, a purple sun manifesting behind him.

As an Upper Third-Grade master, Liang Xuan immediately felt an oppressive force emanating from Chen Mo, and upon seeing the purple sun hovering behind Chen Mo, his pupils slightly contracted, shocked: "It's truly the Divine Power Realm."

Seeing it with his own eyes, no matter how much he insisted before it was impossible, now it's a fact, believe it or not.

All around, gasps of astonishment echoed.

The sight of a purple sun floating behind - anyone who saw it couldn't help but exclaim.

"Once more, do you refuse to surrender?" Chen Mo asked.

For the first time facing an Upper Third-Grade martial artist, even though his strength was hundreds more than Liang Xuan's, Chen Mo was determined to go all out and not hold back.

After all, Liang Xuan wasn't a Middle-Grade martial artist like Xiao Yan, where the gap was too vast, and Chen Mo couldn't precisely control his power to defeat Liang Xuan while ensuring not to kill him.

Therefore, with this strike, whether Liang Xuan lives or dies, Chen Mo couldn't guarantee.

But for a martial artist like Liang Xuan, life or death almost seemed the same, because even if Liang Xuan survived, Chen Mo would abolish his cultivation.

Indeed, Chen Mo was planning to use a big move directly.

He preferred not to fight move-by-move; that wasn't Chen Mo's style.

"Hmph."

Liang Xuan coldly retorted, then placed the spear's shaft firmly on the ground. Instantly, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop significantly, and clusters of ice lotus appeared out of nowhere, encircling Liang Xuan, dispelling the nearby heat.

"Go..."

Seeing the situation, Chen Mo spoke no more, pointed at Liang Xuan, and the purple sun behind him shot out violently, expanding continuously as it went.
