Martial Arts Sainthood Begins with the Tiger-Taming Fist

Chapter 126 The Crescent Moon Formation Appears Again

Upon hearing the man's command, the woman's eyes turned cold, and she immediately summoned a canine-shaped puppet from the shadows.

The man then drew a gleaming silver dagger from his waist and crept toward Chen Mo.

He stood side by side with the canine-shaped beast, one on the left and one on the right, forming a pincer attack.

Instead of retreating, Chen Mo advanced, holding the Crane Cry Sword horizontally in front of him. As he activated the Dragon Slaying Sword Technique, a faint crimson light began to emanate from the sword.

Now, the Tai Chen Ying Huo chapter can not only project the fire element aura to the fists and feet, but also to the weapons, coating them with a faint flame aura.

Before the man and dog could get close, the Crane Cry Sword suddenly vibrated, emitting a crisp metallic hum, and then unleashed a crimson wave of energy that rushed toward their opponent.

The man raised his narrow knife and held it in front of him.

The crimson shockwave slammed into the narrow blade, and a tremendous force was transmitted to the opponent's arm.

boom!

The other person felt his entire arm go numb instantly, a dull pain in his chest, and was knocked back several steps.

In the brief moment of his retreat, Chen Mo leaped sideways, quickly closing in on the canine-shaped beast, and slashed at its head with his sword.

The slender blade, like a long chain of flames, was reflected in its almost black pupils.

Just as the longsword was about to sever the dog's head, a hidden weapon shot out from the masked woman's hand, hurtling towards Chen Mo's heart.

Chen Mo had no choice but to change his sword technique to block the hidden weapon.

Clang!

The hidden weapon struck the sword, bounced to the side, and rolled to the ground.

Despite missing this golden opportunity, Chen Mo did not retreat. Instead, he twisted his foot to grip the ground, spun around, leaped in front of the man, and unleashed another sword strike.

The man hurriedly gripped the narrow dagger with both hands and slashed at the Crane Cry Sword.

At the very moment the sword and blade clashed.

The narrow blade appeared to be melted by the flames carried on the sword.

A crisp "clang" sound rang out, and the narrow knife was cut in two.

The Crane Cry Sword slashed into the opponent's chest.

The opponent's eyes bulged out, and blood mixed with internal organs flowed down the sword.

Chen Mo flicked his sword, sending the blood flying and throwing the man to the feet of the masked woman.

"elder brother!!!"

The woman let out a scream, then her face contorted in a grotesque expression. She raised her hand, and in an instant, her fingers flew across the screen.

Sensing the menacing intent emanating from behind, Chen Mo unleashed his divine sense as a master of internal energy, instantly pinpointing the location of the canine-shaped beast. He immediately thrust his sword backward along his armpit.

puff!

Without turning his head, he heard the sound of a sword tip piercing flesh.

Everyone was greatly shocked.

The sword tip pierced the beast's throat, and after twitching a few times, it collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"this----"

Yang Tingxu stood there stunned. He had never seen such a brutal method of killing, like slaughtering pigs and dogs!

Even the mid-stage and late-stage Transformation Realm masters I've seen before fought were all very methodical and methodical, exchanging blows back and forth, and it took dozens of rounds of fierce fighting to determine a winner.

This seemingly ordinary young man, when he does make a move, is surprisingly ruthless and decisive.

"Could this person be a young master from some powerful family who has come here for training?"

Thinking of this, his gaze toward Chen Mo held a hint of sycophancy.

Meanwhile, Yang Caihe, witnessing Chen Mo's murder and dog slaughter, rubbed her eyes repeatedly, thinking she had misread the scene.

As for Yang Caiwei, her reaction was much calmer than Yang Caihe's. Although she hadn't expected Chen Mo to have such strength, she had seen him in action before.

At this moment, Chen Mo slowly walked towards the masked woman.

Seeing that the canine-shaped beast had also died by his sword, a bitter smile appeared on the latter's face.

Knowing she couldn't escape, she let her hands hang down by her skirt and stood there with a blank stare.

"Where is the Cangming Sect's stronghold?"

Chen Mo walked up to her and asked.

She didn't say anything, but simply drew a dagger from her waist, the blade coated with poison.

The next moment, she took the dagger and slashed her own neck. Blood gushed out instantly. After struggling for a few breaths, she collapsed in a pool of blood.

"He committed suicide—"

Chen Mo sighed, "Another fruitless effort."

Out of curiosity, he bent down to lift the other person's veil.

Just as the veil was being lifted, his hand suddenly froze.

But on the woman's face was a scarlet crescent moon pattern, roughly the same as the one on his chest.

A chilling feeling instantly crept into my heart.

But he remained expressionless. After searching the woman's body, he found two hidden weapons and put them on his own person.

Then, Chen Mo removed the black cloth from the man's face, and sure enough, there was a crescent moon formation diagram there as well.

Upon seeing this scene, the three members of the Huang family turned and ran, but were blocked by Yang Tingxu and others.

Yang Tingxu said in a deep voice, "Should we return the dock now?"

The middle-aged man from the Huang family nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes! We'll give it back!"

"You are never allowed to set foot on the dock again!"

"Definitely! Definitely!"

The three members of the Huang family glanced at the man and woman lying in a pool of blood, their faces filled with terror, and then they scrambled away.

After they left, Chen Mo had already searched the man and woman thoroughly. After confirming that there were no more items, he got up and walked towards Yang Tingxu and Yang Caiwei.

Yang Tingxu immediately bowed and said, "The Yang family is deeply grateful for Master Chen's help. Tonight, I will prepare a banquet and present you with generous gifts!"

Chen Mo frowned. "Tonight?"

The current head steward of Zhenbao Tower is not required to go every day, so missing one or two days will not have any impact.

He thought to himself, "Perfect opportunity to ask about the petrified wood."

With that in mind, Chen Mo did not hesitate to refuse, but nodded and said, "Alright, thank you for your hospitality, Patriarch Yang."

"Brother Chen Mo, you've done the Yang family such a huge favor, we can't thank you enough! Why are you thanking us?"

'

Chen Mo smiled, and the others laughed along with him.

It was already dusk when they returned to the Yang family home.

The Yang family's dining hall was bustling with activity as they hurriedly prepared for the evening banquet.

Yang Tingxu summoned Yang Caiwei to his study. He looked her over and nodded repeatedly, "Not bad, not bad. Caiwei has grown into a beautiful young woman!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Caiwei asked in confusion, "Uncle, what's going on?"

Yang Tingxu revealed a cryptic smile and asked in a low voice, "Caiwei, you said before that you met this Chen Mo by chance on the road. How is your relationship? Not bad, right?"

Yang Caiwei frowned and thought for a moment before replying, "I think it's alright, but it's not really that good."

Yang Tingxu was slightly disappointed, but still asked with a smile, "You lost both your parents when you were young, so it's my job to decide your fate. If I were to betroth you to Chen Mo, would you be willing?"

"what?"

Yang Caiwei was suddenly taken aback, then a faint blush appeared on her face, her eyes darting around, "I—Brother Chen Mo might not even look at me—"

After saying that, he lowered his head.

"Hahaha----"

Yang Tingxu laughed a few times, "Don't worry, I will do my best to fight for you! I'll ask him at the banquet later."
