"A self-inflicted collision, you say? Then my previous kick could also be considered you colliding with me?" Chen Mo asked.
Huo Yun's face turned ashen. He wanted to beg for mercy, but as soon as he opened his mouth, blood filled it.
"Desperate?" Chen Mo walked over slowly.
Huo Yun's eyes no longer held their previous arrogance. Now, only terror remained.
"Crack!"
Chen Mo stepped on and broke Huo Yun's ankle.
"Ah!"
Huo Yun's veins bulged, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Kill me, please kill me." Huo Yun finally couldn't bear it any longer.
At this moment, he felt that death might not be a bad thing.
"Kill you? Do you think I'll let you die so easily? I want you to experience what it means to wish for death but be unable to die." As he spoke, Chen Mo stepped on Huo Yun's other ankle.
"Crack!"
Huo Yun fainted this time.
Chen Mo pulled out a silver needle and directly pierced it into Huo Yun's Baihui acupoint.
Huo Yun gasped sharply and opened his eyes again.
The intense pain, coupled with the torment of his mind and body, made Huo Yun completely lose his composure. He lunged towards the wall.
Chen Mo did not stop him, merely watching.
Huo Yun was already too weak from the pain to even manage to knock himself unconscious.
Once, twice... ten times.
Huo Yun's head was bloody, but his mind remained clear.
"Kill me, I beg you," Huo Yun pleaded indistinctly.
Chen Mo ignored Huo Yun and looked at the two elders lying on the ground.
"Since you're awake, crawl over here," Chen Mo's icy voice slowly echoed.
The two elders, who had their eyes closed, clutched their chests and crawled up from the ground, their faces filled with nervousness and fear.
"Senior, it was Xu Yushan who hired us. This matter truly has nothing to do with us," the two elders quickly explained.
Judging by their pale faces, they were clearly terrified of Chen Mo.
Chen Mo glanced at the elders. "What are your names?"
"I am Tong Ke, and this is my younger brother, Tong Ren."
"Tong Ke, Tong Ren," Chen Mo repeated their names.
The two looked at Chen Mo fearfully, afraid they would suffer the same fate as Huo Yun.
"I'll give you a chance to live," Chen Mo said calmly.
Upon hearing this, their faces lit up with joy.
They quickly cupped their fists towards Chen Mo. "Senior, as long as you give the word, we will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Chen Mo sneered. "Is that so? Then go and destroy the Xu, Huo, and Chu families. If you can accomplish this, I will spare both of you."
"What!"
Tong Ke and Tong Ren's faces changed drastically upon hearing this, their expressions filled with disbelief.
Although they were top martial artists, destroying three aristocratic families was something they wouldn't dare to do, even as Martial Masters!
Who could guarantee that these families wouldn't hire other experts?
"What? You're scared?" Chen Mo asked.
Tong Ke and Tong Ren exchanged glances, and then Tong Ke said, "We will listen to you, Senior. We will do whatever you say."
Inwardly, they thought that as long as they left here, they would flee far away, believing Chen Mo wouldn't be able to find them.
Chen Mo sneered. "You're probably thinking of running away as soon as you leave here, aren't you?"
Tong Ke and Tong Ren were startled and looked at Chen Mo in surprise.
They quickly waved their hands. "How could that be? We can swear that we will follow all your arrangements, Senior. We are willing to be your dogs."
Chen Mo pointed at the dying Huo Yun. "Then start with him."
Tong Ke and Tong Ren stiffened, their gazes falling on Huo Yun.
To save their lives, they naturally wouldn't disobey Chen Mo. They slowly walked up to Huo Yun.
"Young Master Huo, I apologize."
As the words fell, Tong Ke struck Huo Yun's forehead with a palm.
"Bang!"
Huo Yun immediately bled from all seven orifices and collapsed on the ground.
"Senior, we..."
After finishing, Tong Ke turned to look at Chen Mo. However, when he saw Chen Mo recording with his phone, his expression changed dramatically.
"Senior, what... what are you doing?" Tong Ke and Tong Ren quickly asked.
"Sending it to the Huo family," Chen Mo replied with four words.
Tong Ke and Tong Ren's faces turned extremely grim.
Chen Mo was nonchalant. "Since you're going to destroy the Huo family anyway, what's wrong with adding more hatred?"
"Or were you planning to just go through the motions from the beginning?"
Tong Ke and Tong Ren quickly shook their heads. "Senior, we wouldn't dare to think that."
Chen Mo said coldly, "I'll give you three days. If they are not dead by then, it will be your turn to die."
After speaking, Chen Mo slowly walked to Meng Zhuqing's side.
"Zhuqing, I'll take you home."
Gently picking up Meng Zhuqing's blood-stained corpse, Chen Mo left the cave.
Seeing Chen Mo leave, Tong Ke and Tong Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What should we do? Are we really going to attack the aristocratic families?" Tong Ren couldn't help but ask.
Tong Ke frowned. "Otherwise?"
"Why don't we just run? Or go abroad? No matter how capable this brat is, he won't be able to find us," Tong Ren quickly said.
"Go abroad?" Tong Ke fell into thought.
"I have some friends in Country R who can help us sneak across the border without anyone knowing," Tong Ren replied.
"What if that brat sends the video to the Huo family? Then our reputation will be truly ruined," Tong Ke asked with a heavy tone.
"Brother, between life and reputation, which is more important?" Tong Ren asked.
Tong Ke remained silent for a long time, finally nodding. "Alright, then we'll go to Country R. At worst, we'll change our names and never return."
"However, before we leave, there's something we must do."
"What is it?" Tong Ren asked, confused.
"We need to find that Xu Yushan. He's really set us up this time," Tong Ke said coldly, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Then I'll make the arrangements!" Tong Ren quickly agreed.
Of course, Chen Mo was unaware of their discussions.
However, the reason Chen Mo didn't kill them was that he calculated they would go after Xu Yushan. Coupled with the video of Huo Yun, their survival would be more useful than their death.
Chen Mo brought Meng Zhuqing to the village.
The people from the four aristocratic families had already left, and even Meng Zhuqing's entourage had disappeared.
Chen Mo drove, rushing back to Longhua City overnight.
At four in the morning.
Meng Jingbai, who was sleeping soundly in his bedroom at Jialun Manor, was awakened by a hurried knock on the door.
Meng Jingbai opened the door, looking somewhat displeased. "What's going on so late at night?"
A middle-aged man quickly said, "Master, the young lady is back. Her car just entered the manor."
"What!" Hearing this, Meng Jingbai's face lit up with joy.
However, he then became somewhat puzzled. "According to the plan, they weren't supposed to make their move until tomorrow. Why did she return today?"
Despite his confusion, Meng Jingbai walked downstairs.
