"Then, that is…"

    When Chen Mo took out that reddish-brown stone, Zhao Wanli couldn't sit still immediately, his eyes fixed on it intently, filled with greed, and he couldn't wait to grab it.

    "Second, Second Brother, that must be the thing the Master is looking for."

    A Sky Punishment Master standing next to Zhao Wanli couldn't help but tremble slightly, his lips shaking uncontrollably and let out an exclamatory yell.

    Upon hearing this, all the Sky Punishment experts racing over eagerly looked at the stone in Chen Mo's hand, their greed clearly evident in their eyes.

    The Sky Punishment experts may not know what the Treasure of Heaven's Mysteries is used for, how valuable it is, but they are well aware of how precious something that the Master wants is.

    If they can personally deliver that to Zhang Tianlin, they will definitely be promoted and have a smooth future career……

    A burly man with five limbs and three thighs unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, sweeping his gaze left and right. Upon realizing the intense gazes of everyone, he could no longer contain his impulsive desire. As they say, wealth and rank are sought in the midst of danger. If he wanted to advance further, he needed to act a step ahead of others.

    Without waiting for Zhao Wanli's orders, the burly man rushed out first, exploding his second-class cultivation in an instant as he punched forcefully towards Chen Mo's vital points.

    "Zhang Li, what are you trying to do?"

    Seeing the burly man act before he had even given the order, Zhao Wanli immediately became angry, bellowing to scold him, but the former seemed to be oblivious, his eyes fixated solely on the original stone of heaven.

    "Chen Mo, be careful."

    Standing behind Chen Mo, Long Fei Wu saw the situation and held the Empire Sword at the ready, preparing to assist Chen Mo.

    "Do not panic."

    Chen Mo uttered the two words calmly, one hand tightly holding the Sky Mystery Stone, the other holding tightly to his colossal sword. As the reddish-brown Sky Mystery Stone flashed with brilliant light, Chen Mo's great sword swung out in the next moment.

    The red light shone across the heavens and earth, causing everyone present to instinctively close their eyes.

    Once the red light dissipates, everything will return to peace.

    Chen Mo's great sword fell lightly to the ground and was inserted upside down into the soil, while the Sky Mystery Stone also turned into a completely ordinary stone.

    In contrast, the burly man known as Zhang Li stopped just short of reaching Chen Mo, his eyes wide as if they had rolled back in his head, his body motionless as if frozen in place.

    The onlookers saw this scene and opened their mouths to call out, but there was no response.

    In the next moment, Zhang Li's body slightly moved and he slid sideways onto the ground with his upper body, a neat incision appearing on his abdomen. Blood gushed out from the edges of the wound.

    "Dead? Is he dead?"

    Among the crowd, someone faintly opened his mouth to ask a question, and in this moment, the gazes of all the Sky Punishment experts were filled with surprise.

    "He is dead"

    A definitive voice echoed, and Zhang Li's upper body fell completely to the ground at that moment.

    "Fool, the Master values the Sky Mystery Stone so highly, how could it be something ordinary?"

    Zhao Wanli roared in anger, unable to bear the fact that his subordinates couldn't grasp the situation. He then glanced at everyone, his voice booming, "Listen carefully, you all. If you don't want to die, follow my orders. Otherwise, Zhang Li is what will happen to you."

    Although the Sky Mystery Stone possessed great magical power, attracting everyone, with Zhang Li's example fresh in their minds, no one dared to think too much at this moment. They all nodded eagerly and watched Zhao Wanli attentively, following his commands.

    Waiting for his next command.

    Chen Mo gently threw the Sky Mystery Stone in his hand, playing with it for a moment, and then teased Zhao Wanli with a mocking gaze, "How about it? This thing, aren't you guys very much in need of it? Why not give it a try? If you can take it back, I think your Master will be very pleased."

    Chen Mo's provocation made Zhao Wanli furious, but when he thought about Zhang Li's fate just then, his eyes became clearer, and he coldly snorted, "Don't think I'm as foolish as before... I admit that the Sky Mystery Stone in your hands can greatly increase your power, but we are numerous and I don't believe we can't take you down."

    "Although we are one man short of Zhang Li, we have enough manpower with us, so let's act together."

    As Zhang Wanli's words fell, it seemed as if everyone started to move simultaneously, positioning themselves around the mountain peaks to form a special encirclement formation around Chen Mo.

    "Xue brother, please stand by my side and take Zhang Li's place."

    Zhao Wanli spoke, and the dull and unsuspecting Xue Xing at that moment received an order, immediately following it. He could feel that these people in front of him were arranging a formation.

    "Start."

    Zhao Wanli shouted, and all of their spiritual power was unleashed in an instant, converging into one point in the air, forming a rolling black cloud.

    The flash of lightning illuminated the sky, and in that moment, everyone's gaze flicked upwards towards the sky.

    Xue Xing opened his mouth wide, looking at the lightning in the sky and exclaimed, "Nine... nine-heaven thunder technique?"

    Xue Xing, in his early years, had wandered south and north and was also familiar with the nine-heaven thunder technique of the high-level experts at the Tianshi Pavilion. The dense array of lightning in the sky was identical to what he had seen.

    Moreover, judging from the power bursting out of the thunderstorm, the strength of the nine-heaven thunder technique had already reached the first-grade level……

    "This is the nine-heaven thunder technique, a unique skill of the Tianshi Mansion. Chen Mo, this..."

    Long Fei Wu tightened his grip on the Empire Sword in his hand and glanced around at the surrounding area, his expression complex.

    "It seems that the old man Zhang Tianlin is trying to take me down at all costs. However, just with this nine-heaven thunder technique, he cannot defeat me."

    Chen Mo coldly snorted.

    "Arrogant"

    Zhao Wanli sneered, spitting out the word "kill" with heavy emphasis.

    As soon as he spoke, the sky boomed with thunder, and a thunderbolt struck down from the sky, a stunning attack that seemed capable of tearing apart this world.

    The valley trembled, and the earth split open and the sky collapsed.

    Chen Mo pointed towards the thunderbolt in the sky, and the Sky Mystery Stone flashed. He then swung his giant sword with a mighty force.

    As the thunderbolt and the sword met, Chen Mo retreated several steps and the ground under his feet crumbled. The entire mountain suddenly collapsed, leaving half of the mountain broken.

    Chen Mo's hand trembled uncontrollably, and he quietly spat out a mist of blood, his eyes filled with blood vessels.

    The Sky Mystery Stone is indeed incredibly powerful, but the Master's nine-heaven thunder technique is not weak either. If we twenty-some people cannot defeat you, then we truly fail to meet the Master's expectations.

    Zhao Wanli coldly laughed and looked at Chen Mo with disdain.

    Long Fei Wu rushed forward and supported Chen Mo, "You, don't use it anymore. Give it to me..."

    Long Fei Wu knew that the stronger the thing, the greater the cost. For example, the Wukong Chi Magic Sword. She was unaware of the cost of using the Sky Mystery Stone in Chen Mo's hand, but she was certain that continuing to use it would be harmful to him.

    Chen Mo tightened his grip on the Sky Mystery Stone, "I can still fight."

    "You are really..."

    Long Fei Wu's face was filled with helplessness and pain.

    "Hahaha, everything should come to an end. The Sky Mystery Stone is not something you can use. If you surrender it willingly, I may even let you go unharmed..."

    Zhao Wanli sneered coldly, but his eyes suddenly flashed with terror as if he had sensed something terrifying. He turned around abruptly and saw a pair of red and blue eyes staring at him like a beast from behind.
