Martial Arts Sainthood Begins with the Tiger-Taming Fist

Chapter 112 The Hunt (Please Subscribe)

Chen Mo leaped onto the tree branch and carefully removed the snake egg.

This is a white, stone-hard, egg-shaped object, five or six times the size of a chicken egg.

"This must be the egg laid by that giant python."

He looked at it closely from all sides, trying to figure out how to use the egg, but then it suddenly occurred to him.

"The two footprints disappeared nearby. If they were Xiao Chi and Cao Tai, and they were not far from here, then the battle just now would likely have attracted them here."

After a few moments of contemplation, a ruthless glint flashed between his brows, and a plan formed in his mind.

After thinking it over, Chen Mo dragged the two halves of the giant python's body into the dense forest and bushes.

Because of the tall trees and dense forest, the giant python's corpse was not visible from the outside, hidden by the overgrown weeds.

Then, he placed the snake eggs on the grass not far from the tree, partially covering them with grass. Although the snake eggs could not be seen at a glance from a distance, one could see that there was something in the grass.

After doing all this, he crouched among the bushes, using the weeds to perfectly conceal his figure and try to keep his breath hidden.

Chen Mo wanted to "hunt" here.

Rather than waiting for a passive counterattack, it's better to take the initiative.

In the world of martial arts, survival is the only true principle.

Three years ago, Shen Qi suffered a loss in Fenglei Valley. Having learned from that experience, he cannot afford to suffer a loss again. He must make up for the loss that Shen Qi suffered!

Time passed, and half an hour had gone by.

rustling sounds —

Finally, some movement came from afar.

Chen Mo held his breath, gripped the hilt of his sword, and waited for the right moment to strike.

Two figures slowly approached from a distance, and Chen Mo could see their appearance clearly.

"It really was Xiao Chi and Cao Tai—"

The two were quite cautious, looking around. When Cao Tai saw the snake eggs in the grass, his eyes lit up and he pointed at them.

Upon seeing the snake egg, Xiao Chi did not immediately show joy. Instead, he looked around to make sure there was no danger before leading Cao Tai over.

Before long, the two arrived at the snake eggs.

"Senior Brother Xiao, what is this?" Cao Tai asked.

"It looks like a snake egg. Judging by its size, it must be the egg of a snake spirit. But where is the snake that laid it? I heard some noise over here just now, but why is it gone now—"

Upon hearing that it was a spirit's egg, Cao Tai's eyes lit up. "Perhaps the snake is too big, and the noise it makes when it moves around is too loud? And now it has gone out to forage for food. We should take the egg away before it returns."

Xiao Chi fell into a brief silence.

Having been to Fenglei Valley before, he was much more cautious than Cao Tai. He immediately used his sword to poke at the snake egg, only to find that the snake egg rolled twice on the grass without any other abnormalities or signs of a trap.

After a moment, he nodded. "It's not impossible. Let's try to do it as quickly as possible."

At this moment, Chen Mo was bent over in the grass like a bow, his legs like a taut string, ready to be released at any moment.

The bushes he chose were directly opposite Xiao Chi's back.

This place is thirty steps away from Xiao Chi. If Luo Yanbu is used at full strength, it can be reached in an instant.

Even with Xiao Chi's late-stage Transformation Realm strength, he could only manage a defensive move in a moment, but he couldn't withstand Chen Mo's full-force attack.

Moreover, Chen Mo also possessed a peacock feather.

However, Cao Tai, who was standing next to Xiao Chi, was in his way.

"Never mind him, deal with Xiao Chi first."

He thought to himself, then quietly waited for the right moment to strike.

Just as Xiao Chi bent down...

Chen Mo made a move!

Luo Yanbu fully extended his steps, his figure almost becoming a straight line, covering the thirty-step distance in the blink of an eye.

A flash of cold light appeared on the Crane Cry Sword.

bass!

Sensing the danger emanating from behind, Xiao Chi immediately abandoned the snake egg on the ground, twisted his body abruptly, and raised his hand to strike with his sword.

Clang!

The two swords clashed, sending sparks flying.

The attack missed, which was within Chen Mo's expectations. With his current strength, it was unlikely that he could kill a late-stage Transformation Realm expert without any losses.

But he knew that the opponent's defense would only go so far, and that this sword strike was an instinctive defensive move, with probably no follow-up attacks.

Therefore, in the blink of an eye, Chen Mo raised his left hand, which had already been preparing his fist power, and delivered the eighth move of the Tiger Subduing Fist, the Mountain Shaking Strike!

In close combat, punches and kicks are especially effective.

And when he made his move, it was with the strongest Mountain-Shaking Style, leaving no room for retreat.

In an instant, the force of the punch landed on the opponent's ribs.

Click!

The sound of ribs breaking came from Xiao Chi's body.

"You're asking for it!"

Despite the excruciating pain, Xiao Chi let out a loud shout and immediately changed his sword technique, deflecting the Crane Cry Sword and slashing horizontally.

After mastering the basics of the Dragon-Slaying Sword Technique, Chen Mo had a thorough understanding of the various sword moves and their offensive and defensive techniques. He immediately took up his sword and swung it forward.

The two swords, one horizontal and one vertical, clashed and struck each other, producing a clear, resounding clang once more.

At this moment, Xiao Chi's ribs were already injured, so he was unable to use his full strength. This attack not only failed to repel Chen Mo, but also forced him back a step.

Xiao Chi looked surprised. In the previous battle at the old mine, he had defeated Chen Mo without any chance to fight back. Now, although his opponent had entered the Transformation Realm, the speed at which his swordsmanship had improved was astonishing!

Without time to think, he shouted, "Cao Tai, make your move!"

To his surprise, Cao Tai did not attack Chen Mo at this moment, but quickly picked up the snake eggs on the ground and retreated a few steps away.

Cao Tai's move also surprised Chen Mo.

"you!"

Enraged, Xiao Chi's eyes widened in fury. He suddenly unleashed a powerful force, deflecting the Crane Cry Sword.

With a sharp flick of his wrist, he unleashed a fierce attack with his longsword, aiming to slash at Chen Mo's chest.

Chen Mo also took a step forward, raising his sword to meet the attack.

The sword moves with unrestrained momentum, like slaying a dragon across the sea.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Several clanging sounds of metal resounded and spread out.

Just then, a cold smile appeared on Chen Mo's lips. He knew that the other party was nearing the end of their strength.

Take advantage of their weakness and kill them!

This chilling aura caught the other's eye, causing them to tremble and halt their swordplay.

In that brief moment, Chen Mo flicked his left hand, and the peacock feather appeared between his five fingers.

Upon seeing the peacock feather, Xiao Chi immediately understood what was happening, but it was too late. The peacock feather flicked at Chen Mo's fingertip, instantly leaving his five fingers and flying towards Xiao Chi's rib wound.

puff!

The peacock feathers pierced into the flesh of his ribs.

The next moment, the mechanism of the peacock feather started turning, twisting and turning in the flesh.

An aura of death swept over Xiao Chi's entire body, his face contorted, and the long sword in his hand clattered to the ground.

After a few breaths, the life force in his eyes gradually faded, and his body twitched unconsciously a few times before collapsing heavily to the ground.

After killing Xiao Chi, Chen Mo did not hesitate for a moment and quickly used the Luo Yan Step to catch up with the fleeing Cao Tai.

They chased him for over a hundred paces before finally blocking his path.

Cao Tai's legs went weak, and he knelt directly in front of Chen Mo, trembling as he said, "Brother Chen Mo, this snake egg is yours. I was ignorant before, and I hope you will be magnanimous and spare my brother."

Chen Mo nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Seeing him nod, Cao Tai breathed a sigh of relief, but at that moment, a sword light suddenly magnified in his eyes—
