Just as Shangguan Nan was about to act, a twenty-something youth sneered, "Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken? Sir, just stay here, I alone am enough to kill him!"

As he spoke, the young man charged straight at Chu Mo!

The pressure in the small space was only exerted upon entering; once inside, it was gone. Hence, this member of the Shangguan Family, even though his abilities were suppressed to the level of Innate, moved swiftly, his formidable strength palpable.

In the dimly-lit, tight space, a flash of cold light suddenly streaked by!

Incredibly, the young man held a blade as thin as a cicada's wing between his fingers. If one didn't look closely, the blade was almost transparent!

With a cold smirk on his face, the young man directed his knife straight at Chu Mo's throat!

Even though his strength here was limited to the Innate level, he seemed so adept. He optimised the Innate power, fully confident that if he couldn't kill Chu Mo outright, he could inflict severe injuries!

The thin blade in his hand was no common weapon, but a real dharma instrument with a razor-sharp edge, capable of cutting through the human neck or even steel like tofu!

A keen desire to do battle flashed in Chu Mo's eyes.

His body appeared motionless, yet his feet were performing the Illusory Wind Step at high speed in an extremely subtle manner!

Among those present, only the middle-aged man seemed to sense something; he suddenly exclaimed, "Watch out, Shangguan Tie!"

But it was too late!

The distance was too short, and Shangguan Tie was too swift!

Shangguan Tie had rushed up to Chu Mo's face with his finger-held blade. A ferocious grin surfaced on his face as he seemed to have envisioned the burglar's blood spurting from his throat.

Thump!

A muffled sound rang out as Shangguan Tie was directly sent flying backward!

But within the confined space, the side facing the stone coffin was subjected to immense pressure. Thus, he was pushed back after flying less than three steps. He spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out on the spot.

They had entered this place using a consumable True Immortal dharma instrument to withstand the terrifying pressure. But now, since the tool was already ruined, those people somewhat forgot about the pressure in this space!

The moment Shangguan Tie passed out, Chu Mo moved in a flash. Brandishing a long sword, he aimed straight at Shangguan Tie's forehead.

"You're asking for death!" Two others from the Shangguan Family rushed forward to rescue Shangguan Tie.

Chu Mo just smirked coldly. That's exactly what he wanted!

Shangguan Tie had already lost his fighting power. He could kill him anytime he wanted. His use of the sword was merely to tease out the others.

Otherwise, even Chu Mo wouldn't dare to assert that he could fight while under tremendous pressure in such a small space.

Originally, swordsmanship wasn't Chu Mo's forte. However, the situation had drastically changed. From his time in the Ruins, he acquired numerous inheritances, each remarkable enough to establish its own school of thought!

To counter the Shangguan Family, Chu Mo didn't want to reveal Heaven Slaying.

In the narrow space, Chu Mo's sword whirled, creating blossoms of swords.

The small stone chamber was instantly filled with flowering plums, so beautiful that it seemed unreal!

But hidden within was the intent to kill!

Each flowering plum that fell upon the two Shangguan Family cultivators would bloom into a brilliant blossom of blood!

The ferocious expressions on the two Shangguan family cultivators charging forward were quickly replaced by fear.

In an instant, they were surrounded by countless flowering plums and died horrific deaths amid their screams!

Even though dying in the Illusion Realm wasn't a true death, the feeling was still unbearable, leaving them psychologically scarred for a long time. Whether their divine sense would be heavily damaged, one could not say for sure, but either way it wasn't good.

Swoosh!

With the final stab from Chu Mo, Shangguan Tie was sent off from the Illusion Realm and out of sight.

Chu Mo then sheathed his sword and quietly stared at the remaining five from the Shangguan Family: "Robbery!"

The remaining five, each with different expressions, looked at Chu Mo in shock. The middle-aged man from the Shangguan Family wore a greenish-white face with eyes filled with incredulity as he stared in horror at Chu Mo: "The Plum Blossom Sword ... that's the unique skill of the Plum Blossom Supreme Venerable, what ... what's your relationship with him?"

"Who the heck is the Plum Blossom Supreme Venerable?" Chu Mo frowned slightly, thinking of his sword teacher, a dashing youth. He wondered if that teacher was the Plum Blossom Supreme Venerable.

The middle-aged man from the Shangguan Family frowned, muttering to himself, "Impossible, The Plum Blossom Supreme Venerable is an ancient figure who underwent Dao Conversion eons ago. The legacy of the Plum Blossom Sect has long disappeared in the river of time. The last time the Plum Blossom Sword appeared was more than ten thousand years ago, how could you possibly possess it?"

Hearing this, Chu Mo was profoundly shocked. He hadn't expected his old teacher to be such an ancient figure. The Ruins really is a mysterious place. At the time, the big skeleton had told him that those who taught him had remarkable achievements, but Chu Mo never felt that from those teachers. It seemed now they were hiding much more.

Was their true intention merely to pass on their cultivation to him?

Now was not the time to ponder such questions. Chu mo coldly glared at the people from the Shangguan Family: "If you want to get past me, surrender your treasures. If not, die!"

"You're too arrogant!" A woman from the Shangguan family stared at Chu Mo in anger: "If we die here, so what? We'll just have to rest for a while. Aren't you afraid that when the time comes, our Shangguan family will hunt you down?"

Chu Mo laughed: "If I stand down now, will you spare me thereafter?"

The woman was momentarily speechless. Indeed, even if Chu Mo withdrew now, they would not let him off.

Shangguan Nan who was standing at the side said, "There's nothing else to say. Let's go together and kill him!"

The middle-aged man held back the others who were about to rush forward, saying gravely, "The space inside is narrow, and the energy field is chaotic and bizarre. Once you step in, there's pressure from that direction, and you wouldn't be able to retreat."

Shangguan Nan shouted angrily, "Do you mean that so many of us are still afraid of him? We are all at the Innate level; what's there to be afraid of?"

The middle-aged man's face was grave. He had led this mission; it had already been a failure by not obtaining the wood elemental essence of the Five Elements. If everyone was killed here, they would be severely punished upon returning to the family.

Especially as Shangguan Nan, a child born of the main branch family was part of this team, he couldn't let anything happen to him!

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, a ruthless look in his eyes. He said to Shangguan Nan, "You stay here, and you three, come with me. We must kill him at all cost!"
