Dual-wielding! 100x proficiency, I'll grind my way to godhood!

As the sun set, the courtyard became completely dark.

There is no moon tonight, and the stars are few and far between.

There were no candles lit in the room, and it was pitch black.

Everything was put into Chen Mo's bronze ring; he didn't leave anything he could take with him.

The eight men from the capital were dumbfounded; such methods were truly astonishing.

The group meditated and cultivated in the dark room. No one spoke. Night vision goggles were placed beside them, within easy reach.

The room was quiet, with only the sound of breathing.

As night deepened, the village lights went out one by one.

Chen Mo opened his eyes.

"Set off."

He pulled out a pair of night vision goggles and handed one to each person.

The eight people from the capital were wearing this for the first time.

Qingzhu had already told them that the young master had a special treasure that, when worn at night, made him look the same as during the day.

The eight people were still skeptical at the time.

Qingzhu taught them how to put it on, and then put it on herself first, showing how to do it easily.

Su Yue had already put on her protective gear and stood by the window, motionless.

All eight of them were stunned when they put them on.

The pitch-black room transforms into a lush green world through the telescope.

The tables and chairs were green, the shadows of people were green, and even the slight warmth emanating from people's bodies was clearly visible.

Some people took it off and put it back on, then took it off again, trying it out three times.

"My God... what kind of treasure is this?"

"Everyone wear your masks properly, and don't make a sound while we're on the road."

"Qingzhu said in a low voice."

"Young master."

Su Yue spoke in a low voice by the window.

"Two masked men dressed in black broke into the courtyard."

All sounds ceased abruptly.

A dozen pairs of eyes in the room all turned to look at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo gestured for everyone to stay put.

He walked to the window and looked outside.

Through the night vision goggles, two people crept along the wall, one after the other, toward the main house.

Judging from his gait and posture, his strength is around the Qi Control Realm.

"Hong'er".

Chen Mo said in a low voice.

"You go left, I'll go right, just don't kill them, cripple them."

Shangguan Hong nodded.

Outside the door, two men in black crept up to the entrance of the main house.

One of them pressed his ear against the crack in the door and listened for a long time.

One was stuck to the window, guarding the escape route.

"There's no sound from inside."

He whispered to the person near the door.

"Enter!"

Before entering, the person who was standing next to the door took out a small pebble and flicked it into the yard.

The pebble rolled twice after landing.

There was still no movement inside.

The two waited a moment longer before making their move.

The blade was inserted into the crack in the door, and with a flick, the door was opened without making a sound.

His technique was skillful; he was clearly an expert.

Having scouted the area during the day, the two of them could walk the paths in the courtyard even in the dark.

The door was just pushed open a crack.

The person under the window whispered something.

"Mastering these two ultimate skills will allow us to ascend to the heavens in one step."

Two dark figures darted into the house.

As soon as they stepped inside, both of them felt their hair stand on end.

wrong!

run!

Before the thought even formed, their throats were already being gripped.

Crack, crack, the dantian was shattered.

Both arms drooped limply at the same time.

The two were in so much pain that their vision went black, and their clothes were instantly soaked with cold sweat.

The excruciating pain of their dantian shattering had just reached their heads when the two tried to shout, but a hand tightened around their throats, silencing them completely.

The entire action took place in the blink of an eye.

Both of them were at the Qi Control Realm, and were well-known figures in the martial arts world.

I didn't even see the shadow of my opponent tonight.

In the darkness, they could see nothing.

All I knew was that I had failed.

I fear I will die here tonight.

Chen Mo carried the person into the inner room.

Shangguan Hong carried one and followed behind.

Chen Mo loosened his grip on the person's hand slightly.

The man immediately forced out a hoarse, breathy sound, as if he wanted to speak.

The one in Shangguan Hong's hand made no sound at all.

She didn't loosen her grip at all.

Chen Mo spoke up.

"Who are you? What is your purpose in coming here?"

"Whoever answers to my satisfaction will be spared. I only have one chance."

The man in his arms tried to speak, but his voice was hoarse.

The other one was completely silent.

"Hong'er, kill the one in your hands."

Shangguan Hong clenched her five fingers.

Click.

The sound of a neck bone breaking was exceptionally clear in the deathly silent room.

The other person's breathing became erratic instantly.

"I'll talk! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! Please, don't kill me!"

"You're smarter than your companions; you know how to value your life. Tell me, if I'm not satisfied, you know what will happen."

"Yes, yes..."

The man swallowed.

"Who are you people?"

"We, the people of the martial arts world, have learned from the imperial court's proclamation that a man named Zhang Deshuai possesses the Nine Yin and Nine Yang martial arts techniques. The proclamation includes a portrait of him, and he is wanted throughout the land."

"How did you find this place?"

"We found out there was a man named Zhang Deshuai in Lin'an City, and then we traced him all the way to this area, using candy to coax the village children and get information out of them..."

Chen Mo remained silent, his gaze turning colder.

"Whose idea was to use candy to appease the child?"

"Yes, it was the two of us together..."

The man's voice trembled.

"What did the child say?"

"Tell me, the owner of this courtyard brought eight stunning beauties from the capital, seven of whom are the Emperor's concubines... We checked the notices and confirmed that the owner of the courtyard is Zhang Deshuai, the wanted man on the wanted list..."

"Now that you've decided, why wait until tonight to make your move?"

"We hadn't seen you for a while, and we were planning to wait a few more days. But recently, more and more people have been coming here, and we saw you again yesterday during the day. We were afraid that things might get complicated if we waited too long, so we... we decided to take action first."

"How many people came in total?"

There were five of us, but three of us were too scared to come.

After finishing his recount, the man, fearing it wasn't enough, continued:

"I know more! I know where the others are! There are four in the dilapidated temple at the east end of the village, six or seven in the woods to the west, and..."

He revealed the locations of each group, one by one.

Click.

Chen Mo released his grip, and the man went limp.

There was a moment of silence in the room as everyone waited for Chen Mo's next instruction.

Don't leave tonight.

Chen Mo squinted. Now that they're here, none of them will leave tonight.

He turned and gave the order:

"Hong'er, take them up the mountain first."

Shangguan Hong looked at him:

"Should I stay too?"

"The mountain needs you more. Wang Fucheng and the others can guard the sect, but they can't guard people's hearts. You have to go back and take charge yourself."

Shangguan Hong nodded and said no more.

She divided the dozen or so people into three groups.

Xu Wanqing and Su Yue led the way, the eight people from the capital walked in the middle, and she personally brought up the rear.

One command, one action; swift and decisive.

He was, after all, a former cult leader.

"Young master, we're waiting for you."

Xu Wanqing said softly.

"Young master, please let me stay too!"

The green bamboo stubbed its neck.

Chen Mo glared at her.

Qingzhu shrank back and stopped making a sound.

The others wisely kept quiet. Saying anything unnecessary at this time would only cause trouble for Chen Mo. They put on their night vision goggles and quietly followed Xu Wanqing and Su Yue away.

As the group left the courtyard, through the night vision goggles, a row of figures could be seen hugging the wall and moving quickly up the mountain.

Shangguan Hong took one last look in the direction of the courtyard before disappearing into the night.

Chen Mo returned to the inner room and closed the door behind him.

With a flash of the bronze ring, a Barrett pistol appeared in his hand.

Screw the silencer onto the muzzle and attach the thermal sight mount to the rail.

They took out rows of magazines and checked them one by one; all the magazines were full of bullets.

The courtyard was located on high ground. He climbed onto the roof and settled down, scanning the surroundings with his binoculars.

Down the mountain, in the woods, on the rooftops, clusters of human-shaped heat sources appeared, scattered here and there.

He counted them silently.

Two digits, and still rising towards three digits.

Chen Mo took a deep breath, calmed his breathing, and placed his index finger on the trigger guard.

It's been a long time since I used the Barrett to hunt.
