Chen Mo flicked his right arm, and the spiritual power he inspired instantly condensed into a sharp sword, which he held in his hand.
Under the blessing of vitality and spiritual power, a green aura lingered above, stretching endlessly and even sharper.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Chen Mo's figure was like lightning, flying in front of the target, and chopped it off with a sword!
Lin Qingran's expression was slightly surprised, as if he didn't expect Chen Mo to be so fast, but he just took a few steps back, turned his hand, and launched two darts derived from spiritual power. He acted extremely skillfully and aimed directly at Chen Mo's throat. with the abdomen.
"good!!"
This desperate counterattack aroused applause from all the Lin family members.
Two cold black lights struck, Chen Mo's eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help but change his slash to a vertical sword in front of him to resist.
A 'ding' sound!
Chen Mo only knocked away the dart aimed at the target's throat, while the other one, under Lin Qingran's precise control, successfully hit the condensed light refining color in front of Chen Mo, making a crisp sound.
Chen Mo's first attack was blocked, which gave Lin Qingran a chance to breathe. When he drew his sword and made a surprise attack, he was already overwhelmed by small spells.
Fortunately, Chen Mo's swordsmanship was still there, and the sword blade collided with a series of spiritual explosions, causing a burst of dazzling sparks to fly under the night sky.
Although most of the spiritual power derivatives are in the form of wind blades, ice knives, etc., the sound of metal and iron striking each other is still endless.
Lin Yuqin stared at the two people in the competition without blinking. She didn't want Chen Mo to lose, but judging from the current situation, Chen Mo was obviously suppressed by her third uncle.
He can't get close, and the shield condensed in front of him is still being worn away bit by bit. If this continues, he will definitely lose.
"Come on, come on..." Lin Yuqin clenched her fists tightly, and even her breathing became much heavier.
In the yard, the people of the Lin family who were watching the battle were on the contrary. They could not hide the joy in their hearts and were so excited that they almost shouted.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the door. When his son had the upper hand, Lin Yuqin's grandfather felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and instead had a solemn look on his face.
Lin Xiao and others saw something was wrong and asked nervously: "Father, what do you think is wrong?"
Including him, everyone thought that his younger brother's behavior was too rude. In less than a moment, he beat the visiting guest so hard that he couldn't hold his head up. Where would he save his face later?
"The situation is not good. Qingran's spiritual energy is consumed too quickly..." Grandpa Lin Yuqin turned his attention to Chen Mo.
"Look at him, he is just defending blindly. How much spiritual energy does this cost?"
Everyone looked at him and saw that Chen Mo was struggling to hold on. Most of the light from the condensed light and refining color had faded, and it was only a matter of seconds before he was shattered.
"Uncle, this means that my third brother has suppressed him. Once the barrier is broken, the third brother will use his thunderous wrist to restrain him, and the outcome of this fight will be determined!"
The foundation-building monk from the side line told the truth about the direction of the matter, which attracted a lot of approval from the people around him.
Grandpa Lin Yuqin frowned, but in the end he didn't say anything more.
At the same time, the situation on the field suddenly changed. As if to confirm what that person said, the shield in front of Chen Mo exploded with a bang, splattering trivial spiritual residue everywhere.
Lin Qingran's eyes lit up, and the instant spell was suddenly retracted, and his body began to darken, as if it was coated with a layer of dark mud: "The strength is still good, let's go back and practice some more!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was suspended in mid-air, muttering spells in his mouth. He had obviously let go of his defense, allowing Chen Mo to attack at will.
Not only that, as he kneaded with his hands, a stream of heart-stopping aura was mobilized from his body and was being compressed into a purple ball the size of an almond eye floating on his chest.
"It's this move again!! Nether Finger..."
Seeing this scene, the Lin family members who were watching onlooked and exclaimed one after another: "Brother Ran once used this trick to kill a demonic monk of the same level!"
"Ah! How could the third uncle act so recklessly? How could the monk resist!!"
"Don't panic, the elders have joined forces to stop him, he won't die!"
While a group of people were chattering nervously, the monks in the foundation-building stage of the Lin family couldn't sit still. If they accidentally killed a monk from the Fuyun Sect, the entire Lin family might be implicated.
Grandpa Lin Yuqin immediately acted as he promised before, and with his cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, he was able to intercept it as soon as possible even if there was real danger on the level.
"This damn boy... I will do whatever it takes to force him to submit..."
Grandpa Lin Yuqin was full of curses, but he also felt a little relieved in his heart. His child's skills had obviously improved after he hadn't seen their true form in several years!
Just when everyone thought the overall situation was decided, Chen Mo showed a meaningful smile.
On a full moon night, his sword blade was sharp and bright. The moment Chen Mo used the phantom sword, his own tyrannical consciousness quickly left his body, and he struck Lin Qingran, who was unable to distract himself from the air, with a head-on blow!
"--ah!"
The floating Lin Qingran's body suddenly trembled violently, and he let out an extremely painful scream. He was temporarily blinded, and coupled with the sharp pain in his mind, the speed of his kneading could not help but stop at this moment!
This short moment is enough to determine the outcome!
He drew his sword and stabbed Lin Qingran unstoppably. As expected by Chen Mo, since the other party allowed him to do it, it showed that he was extremely confident in the layer of 'mud' in front of him.
This was indeed the case. The sword-drawing gesture only caused a slight white mark on his body, but the important thing was that Chen Mo was close to him.
"Fire Palm!"
Chen Mo used nearly half of his spiritual power on this palm strike. This move he learned from Wang Yan exerted its strongest power!
In an instant, Lin Qingran's body was enveloped like a ball of burning fire. Everyone could only hear "bang" and "bang" exploding twice in succession. In the firelight that enveloped the two of them, Lin Qingran's body rolled out like a sack!
A gust of wind blew away the flames, and Chen Mo landed safely, but in the distance, Lin Qingran was unconscious with his hair scorched.
Even the clothes on his body were damaged in many places.
"Qingran!!"
"Third brother!!"
A group of anxious people hurriedly surrounded him. Chen Mo was worried that he would be surrounded soon, so he hurriedly explained: "Uncle San just fainted!! He will be fine after taking a rest!!"
Chen Mo didn't want things to turn out like this. He could only blame Grandpa Lin Yuqin for coming up with this bad idea. He insisted on testing his skills. Did he see clearly enough this time?
Chen Mo glanced at him and was shocked to find that Lin Yuqin was still coming to check on him. He was so frightened that he quickly glared at her and signaled her to go see her third uncle.
Fortunately, Lin Yuqin ran halfway and understood what Chen Mo meant. Everyone was frightened by Lin Qingran's appearance, and no one cared about what Lin Yuqin did at this time, so Chen Mo was lucky enough to get through.
"It's okay. There's still some fire poison in my body. I'll be fine after taking care of it at night..."
With Grandpa Lin Yuqin taking the pulse and his wise words, everyone felt a little more at ease: "How is Third Uncle doing?" Chen Mo looked regretful. He asked knowingly, so he walked over and said worriedly.
You can't just ask who won with a smile, or if you say it's okay and you can't die, then Chen Mo feels like he was kicked in the head by a donkey.
"It's okay, don't worry about it." Grandpa Lin Yuqin patted Chen Mo's shoulder and said to a few people around him: "You send the third child back to his room to rest, and the others can continue to go back to eat."
Everyone then returned to the dinner table full of worries. Lin Yuqin came over and said quietly: "Others don't know, but I know that Brother Chen is measured in your actions. My third uncle will be fine."
"Yes." Chen Mo nodded in response, and then the guests and hosts took their seats. The scene became depressing for a while, but it was Grandpa Lin Yuqin who broke the situation and cleared his throat:
"Okay, this is what I proposed. Since the third child is fine, the promise is still valid. Don't have any more ideas. Let's eat and drink!"
With the old man's nod, the Lin family members returned to their previous state, changing cups and cups, laughing and enjoying the delicacies gradually.
The two sideline monks from the Lin family toasted to Chen Mo, which seemed to indicate a good relationship.
Cultivation has always been the talk in the world of cultivation. If they were to have a one-on-one competition, their chances of beating Chen Mo would be less than 20%. In this case, why not make friends?
Grandpa Lin Yuqin was also happy about this. Chen Mo became the protector of the sect at a young age. It would be convenient to have a good relationship now. In the future, when there is any beneficial relationship with Fuyun Sect, he would also have a messenger in the sect.
".... Mr. Chen, how about I give you a review?"
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Chen Mo's face turned slightly red after drinking. Grandpa Lin Yuqin talked about what happened just now, which caused several monks at the table to prick up their ears.
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Of course I am all ears."
He also wanted to hear what a mid-stage foundation-building monk could say about his battle just now.
"Then let's start with you. You are good at swordsmanship. In terms of close combat, Qingran will not be your opponent... But you also have weaknesses. You lack effective responses to enemies twenty feet away. means."
"You have been calculating from the beginning. You have similar cultivation levels. When you are not sure about the strength of your opponent, you choose to fight for consumption. In fact, Qingran is still a little impatient. If he can continue to consume from a distance You, it’s really hard to say who will win and who will lose in this competition.”
Grandpa Lin Yuqin hit the nail on the head and said what Chen Mo was thinking, but after saying that, he suddenly smiled: "Young man Chen, don't get me wrong, I have no intention of losing."
"Senior's words..."
Chen Mo nodded and added a few words: "My mood is different. The third uncle has the expectations of the Lin family and naturally has a heavier sense of responsibility. I am not under any pressure, so I will be more cautious in my moves. If the third uncle is at the beginning of the competition, If I just use that move, I'll probably be at a disadvantage."
Chen Mo told 80% of the truth this time. Even if this was the case, he still had the forbidden method of vitality as a trump card. But in that case, the situation would not be under his control.
The forbidden method in "Forbidden Creation and Destruction of All Things" comes from the mysterious black stone. The first time he used it, he jumped over the level and defeated the demon cultivator Huo Ze on the fifteenth level of Qi Refining. The second time he injured the demon cultivator Huo Ze who was in the demonic transformation state. The dream of Qianqiu.
He couldn't guarantee that the old man would be able to continue. If he really accidentally killed someone, it would be hard for Chen Mo to imagine how he would face the Lin family and Lin Yuqin.
Everyone didn't know what Chen Mo was thinking, but they just felt that he was not arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat, and he was a rare good cultivator. At that moment, a group of relatives took turns carrying cups. It was not until the middle of the moon that the people at the banquet gradually dispersed.
"Boy Chen, come here."
The female family members who came in and out one after another began to put away the dishes and food. Only the monks from the foundation-building period were left at the main table. Seeing that the old man called Chen Mo alone, the rest naturally made excuses to say goodbye.
Without letting Lin Yuqin follow him in, Chen Mo and the old man came to his room and took a few cursory glances. The simple furniture was neatly arranged, and he was an well-organized old guy.
No one sat down, but Grandpa Lin Yuqin said: "Boss Chen... I just met you, but I don't really like the atmosphere of our family."
Chen Mo recalled that when he drank his second glass of wine, he might have shown a slight expression of disgust, which was discovered by others.
He had to lament the old guy's mentality, but he had no way of replying, so he had to pretend to be mute and remain silent.
"When you are my age, you will know the benefits of family. Although you are restricted in some freedoms, generally speaking, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages..."
Chen Mo lowered his head and said, "Thank you, senior, for your teaching."
"I don't have any objections to you. You are a good kid. Go find Qingran tomorrow morning. He will talk to you about Lin Jiabao Pavilion."
"Thank you. I won't disturb senior's rest."
Chen Mo knew that he was going to issue an eviction order, so in order to avoid him being embarrassed, he took the initiative to propose it. Grandpa Lin Yuqin also nodded.
Chen Mo walked out of the hall. Lin Yuqin was waiting for him at the door to arrange his accommodation. He could arrange whatever he wanted. But after he left, Lin Xiao quietly came to Grandpa Lin Yuqin's door and knocked softly.
"Father, it's me."
"How is your third brother?"
Grandpa Lin Yuqin, who was sitting in front of the desk, seemed to be writing something with an ink pen. He asked without raising his head.
Lin Xiao said: "He's fine. He just won't be able to use his spiritual power for three to five days. It's okay."
"Well, back off."
"Father......"
After pausing his ink pen, the old man looked up and frowned: "Just say what you have to say, don't hesitate. Do you want to ask, what do I think of the relationship between Yuqin and this boy Chen?"
"Father is really aware of everything." Lin Xiao touched his nose and said with a wry smile.
"Although Yuqin is my granddaughter, she is also your daughter. What do you think?"
Lin Xiao shook his head and said: "I don't like him very much. If he has other ideas, I won't agree. First of all, because of his appearance, he is not worthy of my daughter."
"Secondly, although this guy didn't show anything, I always felt uncomfortable looking at him, as if he was planning some conspiracy."
Grandpa Lin Yuqin nodded: "What you said makes sense, then who do you think is worthy of Yuqin?"
Lin Xiao said: "At least they have to be well-matched. We don't know the details of Mr. Chen now, so it's hard to say anything, but if Yuqin can marry the descendants of some elders of the Fuyun Sect, I will not object. At least it is in the interests of the family. .”
Grandpa Lin Yuqin stood up. After listening to Lin Xiao's narration, he walked around the room twice and then said slowly:
"Your father and I have met countless people in my life. If I can't understand what my precious granddaughter is thinking, I will end up like a dog at such an early age..."
"I shouldn't say something. Can you tell that your daughter is still in perfect condition? This child has extraordinary concentration and can serve as a protector of a sect in his early thirties. Have you ever thought about this? That’s why.”
Where could Lin Xiao give Grandpa Lin Yuqin a reply? The expected silence was: "Behind him, at least there is a force that is optimistic about his potential and wants to focus on cultivating him. If he can take on important responsibilities, he will be able to soar into the sky just around the corner. Looking ahead, If you don’t take the gold, what do you think?”
Lin Xiao's eyes widened: "Father! You..."
"Yes." Grandpa Lin Yuqin nodded: "After this test, I have found that this boy does have real talent and practical knowledge. He has inherited the kindness of Lin Jiabao Pavilion. Even if he and Yuqin fail to achieve success in the end, it is still a favor."
"The father is far-sighted and the child admires..."
Lin Xiao was so surprised that he no longer knew what to say: "But that family treasure pavilion... even you, my father, have only been there once! That's all you..."
“If you don’t give up, how can you get anything?”
Grandpa Lin Yuqin shook his head: "I always say that you are embarrassed by your heavy responsibility, and you always worry about such trivial matters. How can I trust you with this lineage?"
When he got tired of talking, the old man waved his hand: "Back off, you can think about it carefully when you go back. There is still a lot of time. I just give you some suggestions. After all, Yuqin is your biological daughter, and it is you who makes the decision. "
