The First Immortal of Destiny-Chapter 632: Bullying the Weak_1

"I'm sorry, but I'm determined to have this Gold Man! If you wish to refine a magic treasure, please seek something else."

Shen Mo turned around, giving a cold stare at Elder Yan Dacheng of True Martial Hall, his tone leaving no room for concession.

This man made no attempt to hide his capabilities. From his intimidating aura and soul fluctuations, Shen Mo's five senses could easily discern his cultivation strength: a peak Golden Core Realm powerhouse.

Moreover, the True Martial Hall sect, much like the LiMountain Elixir Sect, held a status in the Heaven Patrolling Zone that was implicitly a notch above other immortal sects.

In other words, this sect very likely housed a Divine Bridge Realm Heavenly Monarch!

With such formidable personal strength and an extraordinary sect backing him, it was no wonder Yan Dacheng acted so domineeringly.

The cultivator from Thousand Cranes Mountain who was selling the Gold Man had been willing to return the Spirit Stones he had already received just to cancel the deal, clearly demonstrating his unwillingness to offend this Elder from True Martial Hall.

However, while others might revere his power and status, Shen Mo was not afraid.

Individuals at the Heavenly Monarch level are typically over a thousand years old, with descendants and disciples likely numbering in the hundreds of thousands. They sit high above, enjoying the offerings of their disciples, and are essentially more akin to deities of their clans and sects than wet nurses constantly cleaning up after their juniors! After all, Divine Bridge Heavenly Monarchs must also busy themselves with their own cultivation and pursuit of the Dao. How could they possibly have so much free time to deal with such trivial disputes? Shen Mo even suspected that if he were to beat this "Elder Yan" before him to death, it might not even alarm the Heavenly Monarch of True Martial Hall. Unless, of course, he went completely mad, breached the gates of True Martial Hall, and sought to completely annihilate this sect's heritage. Only then would the True Martial Hall's Heavenly Monarch, who was cultivating in the Heaven Patrolling Temple, likely intervene to kill him! It was precisely because of this that, with Shen Mo's current strength, as long as a Heavenly Monarch did not intervene, he could act without any reservations!

Currently, Yan Dacheng, relying on his peak Golden Core Realm cultivation and his status as a True Martial Hall Elder, intended to snatch the Gold Man from him without any compensation. This was nothing short of delusional. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

As Shen Mo spoke, the cultivator from Thousand Cranes Mountain turned pale with fright, looking anxiously towards Yan Dacheng.

"Ohh—"

Yan Dacheng's expression grew serious. His True Yuan surged within him, and the power of his soul swept outwards, forming a terrifying pressure that bore down on Shen Mo like a tidal wave.

However, he did not attack immediately, primarily because Shen Mo's firm attitude seemed somewhat abnormal to him, making him uncertain of Shen Mo's identity and strength. "To which sect or faction do you belong? Aren't you afraid of bringing disaster upon them?"

Hearing this, a half-amused expression appeared on Shen Mo's face.

"You needn't trouble yourself trying to investigate my background. To be frank, I belong to no sect or faction. I am merely a rogue cultivator residing on Wangxian Mountain!"

The moment his voice fell, Yan Dacheng attacked brazenly, completely disregarding the Tianyin Valley Trade Fair's prohibition against fighting.

He raised his hand and threw a punch, sending a thunderous Fist Energy rolling towards Shen Mo!

Clusters of aimless white clouds were scattered by the terrifying force. Many vendors cursed loudly, hurriedly activating their magic to protect their goods. Only after safeguarding their own treasures did they turn their five senses towards the conflict, becoming eager spectators who relished the unfolding drama.

"A mere mid-stage Golden Core rogue cultivator dares to mock me, Yan Dacheng? If I don't smash your smug face today, then I, Yan Dacheng, will have to change the 'Great' in my name to 'Small'!"

Accompanying the thunderous storm of Fist Energy were Yan Dacheng's furious curses. In his words, he made no mention of the cause of the conflict, instead blaming Shen Mo's attitude, seemingly intending to mock and ridicule him.

"Hmph! Truly shameless."

Shen Mo sneered. With a mere thought, the Demon Slaying Sword, stored in his Dantian, flowed through his body's Chakra and appeared in his hand.

CLANG!

A sword cry like a dragon's roar echoed. A brilliant Sword Light soared into the sky, charging directly towards the thunderous storm of Fist Energy.

The Universe Sword Qi and the Fist Energy collided violently. A blinding light erupted with an earth-shattering sound. The Fist Energy was completely shattered and dispersed, while the brilliant Sword Qi, still condensed, streaked towards Yan Dacheng like a shooting star!

Instantly, the True Martial Hall Elder hurriedly activated a defensive magic treasure. The Sword Qi slashed through it, splitting it into two ruined pieces in an instant. However, with the defensive magic treasure blunting the Sword Qi's edge momentarily, Yan Dacheng was able to execute his magic, unleashing another terrifying wave of Fist Energy. He threw three successive punches, finally crushing the remnants of the Sword Qi.

Seeing this, the numerous Golden Core Realm cultivators within Tianyin Valley gasped in astonishment.

"Who exactly is this rogue cultivator from Wangxian Mountain? With such terrifying Proficiency in Swordsmanship, how could he possibly be a nobody?"

"Magnificent! This sword style is truly stunning, its power capable of shattering mountains and parting seas, yet it also contains the profound mystery of life, death, and reincarnation! Even from over ten li away, I feel a faint stinging pain between my eyebrows, and my mind is dazed, as if I've experienced death and rebirth. If such an attack of the Sword Path were directed at me, a single strike would be enough to annihilate my soul!"

"Yan Dacheng, relying on his strength and background, has always looked down on us. This isn't the first or second time he's resorted to coercion in buying or selling. But this time, it seems he's picked on the wrong person! Seeing him get his comeuppance is truly satisfying; it calls for a celebration!"

"After this battle concludes, I must make this person's acquaintance."

"..."

The Golden Core Realm cultivators communicated using their Divine Sense, their exchanges as swift as fleeting thoughts, difficult to comprehend by ordinary means.

In the mere blink of an eye, the onlookers in Tianyin Valley had already shared numerous opinions.

Meanwhile, Yan Dacheng, who had forcefully shattered the Universe Sword Qi with his Fist Energy, looked visibly displeased. It wasn't that he was too arrogant to use a magic treasure; rather, he had relied on the advanced martial arts of True Martial Hall to cultivate his fists to a point where they were no less formidable than powerful Spiritual Artifacts.

The Fist Energy from his full-powered punch was enough to kill an ordinary middle-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator. He could even contend with a magic treasure activated by a peak Golden Core Realm cultivator.

Who would have thought that this unknown rogue cultivator, who dared to show him disrespect, possessed such incisive swordplay? He had intended to bully the supposedly weaker opponent and teach him a harsh lesson, yet he himself was nearly injured by a casually swung Sword Qi!

After a brief silence, waves of rust-like baleful spirit light surged from Yan Dacheng's body, forcefully tearing through the Formation that enveloped Tianyin Valley. He looked down at Shen Mo below and shouted, "If we both unleash our full power, I'm afraid this entire mountain range and its valleys will be reduced to ruins! If you have the guts, then come with me to the Ninth Heaven for a battle!"

Shen Mo glanced up at him but wasted no further words. He slapped his Spirit Pet Bag, releasing the Evil-eating Sky Centipede.

This peak Class IV Centipede Monster, after several months of recuperation, had long since healed from the wounds inflicted by the Taiyi Sword. Moreover, with Shen Mo constantly feeding it various malevolent and evil items, its Demonic Aura had grown even more immense, the toxins within its body had reached a new level of potency, and its demonic carapace had become even tougher and more resilient than before, emitting a chilling, eerie luminescence.

"Go! Give him a good fight."
