Upon hearing Ouyang Zhengde's words, the elder men exchanged glances.
They too felt a sense of threat from Chen Mo.
Immediately, several of them stepped forward, surrounding Chen Mo.
Facing these individuals, Chen Mo's brow furrowed slightly.
"Brat, scared now? If you're scared, then kneel and beg for mercy, perhaps we can grant you a swift death!" the Huangfu family head sneered.
"Scared? You lot are not worthy!"
Not worthy!
As these words were spoken, Ouyang Zhengde and the others' expressions gradually turned grim.
Without further ado, they attacked Chen Mo.
In an instant, the six were locked in combat.
Although Chen Mo's strength had improved significantly, he was no match for multiple opponents, and soon, Chen Mo found himself at a disadvantage.
"Bang!"
Zhang Chaoyang, seizing the moment, struck Chen Mo's back with a palm.
Chen Mo stumbled, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Following this, Ouyang Zhengde landed another punch to Chen Mo's chest.
This blow, if it had connected, would have left Chen Mo severely injured, if not dead!
Chen Mo abruptly turned.
He narrowly dodged Ouyang Zhengde's punch.
However, to his right, the Huangfu family head was already waiting, also throwing a punch towards Chen Mo's waist.
Seeing this, Chen Mo knew he could no longer evade.
He unleashed a palm strike, aiming for the Huangfu family head's face.
The Huangfu family head's expression tightened.
He hadn't expected Chen Mo to resort to such a mutually destructive tactic.
He hastily retracted his fist and met Chen Mo's palm with his own.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound echoed.
Both Chen Mo and the Huangfu family head staggered back a few steps.
Before Chen Mo could even react.
From behind him, another fist wind approached!
However, just as the fist was about to strike Chen Mo.
Chen Mo's figure suddenly vanished from his original position.
Everyone was stunned! They frantically scanned their surroundings.
When they saw Chen Mo again, his figure had, at some unknown time, appeared behind the Li family head, Li Wanzong.
"Bang!"
Chen Mo unleashed a punch, striking Li Wanzong directly in the back.
"Puff!"
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Li Wanzong's face instantly turned pale.
As he turned to retaliate, Chen Mo had already broken free from their encirclement and stood dozens of meters away.
A few more drops of blood trickled from the corner of Chen Mo's mouth.
This was the most challenging battle he had faced thus far.
However, it was also this battle that Chen Mo found immensely beneficial.
He reached out, unzipped his backpack, and took out several ginseng roots.
Upon seeing this, Ouyang Zhengde and the others were taken aback.
"What is this kid doing?"
"That thing looks like ginseng, doesn't it?"
"Eating ginseng? Hahaha! Does he think a few ginseng roots will boost his strength? What a joke!"
Everyone looked at Chen Mo with a hint of disdain.
"However, this kid's strength should not be underestimated. To reach the Huajing realm at such a young age is truly monstrous!"
"So young, he either had a miraculous encounter or has a powerful figure backing him."
Hearing this, Ouyang Zhengde's expression shifted slightly.
He dared not mention Li Chongtian's matter, for fear that these people would turn against him.
Li Wanzong said, "Regardless of whether it's a miraculous encounter or a powerful background, he must die today!"
The others nodded, their gazes towards Chen Mo filled with killing intent.
Chen Mo reached out again, taking more ginseng roots from his backpack and chewing them heartily.
"Brat, have you eaten enough? If you're done, prepare to die!" With that, Li Wanzong and the others charged at Chen Mo once more.
Chen Mo, with a grim expression, consumed the last ginseng root.
Boom!
However, the moment Chen Mo finished the last ginseng root, a surging torrent of energy erupted from his dantian.
Chen Mo felt as if all his meridians had instantly become unblocked.
His aura was also rapidly ascending, reaching an unprecedented height!
The attackers, who were about to charge Chen Mo, saw his transformation and their faces contorted in shock.
"This, this is the aura of a Wushi!" Li Wanzong's mouth gaped in astonishment.
"This, how is this possible!"
The others were equally aghast.
The martial artist realms, from Anjin to Neijin, then to Huajing, were the most basic levels.
Following that was the Wushi realm, martial artists of this level could already unleash powerful martial skills.
These were beings that cultivators of the Huajing realm could not possibly contend with!
Wushi!
The men exchanged glances, their faces ashen, as if they had eaten dozens of pounds of rat droppings.
Eating ginseng to break through realms was utterly preposterous.
They had lived for decades and had never heard of such a thing.
Chen Mo was also immensely shocked.
Just as the ancestor had said, consuming all this ginseng would bring him close to breaking through his current realm!
"Wushi?" Chen Mo was ignorant of the martial artist realms.
Upon hearing them mention Wushi, Chen Mo finally realized that he was no longer in the Huajing realm, but had reached the Wushi realm.
"What realm is above Wushi?" Chen Mo inquired.
The men exchanged glances, completely ignoring Chen Mo's question.
They felt that Chen Mo was merely taunting them.
However, at this moment, none of them had any intention of continuing the fight.
What a joke, the Wushi realm was not something they, as Huajing cultivators, could contend with.
"Mr. Chen, we apologize for what happened earlier. We offer our sincerest apologies here." Zhang Chaoyang cupped his fists towards Chen Mo.
"Hahaha!"
Chen Mo let out a cold laugh. "When you could win, you spewed all sorts of threats. When you can't, you apologize. You old bastards truly embody shamelessness to the fullest."
Upon hearing this, the faces of the men turned exceptionally ugly.
"Mr. Chen, there must be some misunderstanding. We were all incited by this Ouyang Zhengde to attack you." Li Wanzong quickly pointed at Ouyang Zhengde.
"Li Wanzong! You are too shameless!" Ouyang Zhengde cursed.
Then, his legs went weak.
With a "thump," he knelt directly before Chen Mo. "Chen, Master, Master! I was also incited by them. How about we join forces and kill all of them? Then these aristocratic families will no longer be a threat!"
"Ouyang Zhengde, you insidious scoundrel, I should have never listened to your advice back then and should have joined forces to destroy your Ouyang family!" Huangfu Qi roared.
Watching their alliance instantly crumble, Chen Mo found it amusing.
"If I had fallen into your hands now, would you have let me go?" Chen Mo asked calmly.
Ouyang Zhengde and the others opened their mouths but remained silent.
Because they all knew that they would never have spared Chen Mo.
A murderous glint appeared in Chen Mo's eyes. "Now you want me to spare you. Do you think that's possible?!"
