But the price paid was not insignificant; this group of assassins was incredibly difficult to deal with. None were inexperienced youths; all were seasoned monsters, whose lifetimes of assassination were unimaginably rich in experience. Although their combat power was not as strong as Chu Mo's, their experience in battle was no less formidable!

More importantly, they were not afraid of death!

That was the most frustrating part.

A group of fearless assassins, risking their lives just to inflict a wound on your body. No matter how shallow the wound, even if it was just a mere scratch, it was considered a success!

Fighting with such a spirit, the pressure it created on the opponent was imaginable.

This was the reason Chu Mo, with his body of the ancestral realm, managed not to be literally worn to death by them.

But at this moment, Chu Mo's wounds were also severe. The throbbing pain from his injuries constantly reminded Chu Mo, never to underestimate the heroes of this world!

Being able to chase away a Quasi-Supreme did not mean he could easily kill a group of assassins from the Emperor Realm who were not afraid of death.

What Chu Mo felt was the pressure these assassins imposed on him, little did he know the despair he cast upon them!

These cultivators were under deep control by the Blood Demon Ancestor. Even if they wanted to commit suicide, they could not succeed! Their primordial spirits had already been controlled by the Blood Demon Ancestor. Such people, in the eyes of the Demon Clan, were slaves.

They were all blood slaves of the Blood Demon Ancestor, devoid of any freedom, even the freedom to die!

Therefore, they had to execute every command of the Blood Demon Ancestor with utmost diligence. Any negligence would lead to punishment by the Blood Demon Ancestor, suffering the agony of being devoured by myriad ants.

Previously on the heavenly road, those sent to assassinate Chu Mo, after failing to find him, almost all remained on the heavenly road—none came out!

For there, they might still find a way to survive. The uniqueness of the heavenly road meant that the Blood Demon Ancestor's control could not extend there. As long as they did not seize opportunities or breakthroughs there, they could survive!

Thus, some even harmed themselves deliberately to degrade their realms, just to remain on the heavenly road.

As for the few who came out with a stroke of luck, they barely lasted a few days after leaving the heavenly road before they met tragic deaths in various places.

The cruelty and ruthlessness of the Blood Demon Ancestor were unimaginable to ordinary people. In his eyes, blood slaves were merely expendable, not even considered human.

So, when these people encountered Chu Mo, their attacks were absolutely desperate.

Above Chu Mo hung the Chaos Cauldron, cascading down myriad strands of chaos energy, which protected Chu Mo and shielded him from magical invasions.

Chu Mo, wielding the Heaven Slaying Blade, lifted his hand and delivered a strike toward an assassin stealthily approaching from behind.

A dazzling blade light.

The head of a sixth-layer Emperor Realm assassin flew up, but in his eyes, there surprisingly flashed a hint of relief.

Chu Mo turned his body, and struck backhand at a seventh-layer Emperor Realm cultivator.

Boom!

A burst of light exploded on Chu Mo's leg, mangling the flesh there.

Chu Mo's brow slightly furrowed, then he immediately chopped his blade toward a completely quiet and empty area.

Following that, a figure staggered out from there, one arm cleaved off cleanly.

This was an eighth-layer Emperor Realm assassin, also one of the key figures maintaining the arrays that trapped Chu Mo.

The arrays severely restricted Chu Mo, so he needed to break them or at least kill those controlling the arrays first.

Rumble!

A net of light formed by myriad lights suddenly burst forth, a dazzling radiance which could blind even an Emperor!

And this light was not only blinding to the eyes but was also dazzling to the divine sense!

With a flash of light, whether vision or hearing or divine sense... everything was momentarily blinded!

The assassins were prepared; they had sealed their six senses before the light dazzled.

Chu Mo felt a blur before his eyes, and suddenly the surroundings fell silent. It was as though the whole world had lost its voice.

In that instant, a surge of purple-golden blood shimmered within Chu Mo's body.

Soon, his six senses had fully recovered.

At the same time, the chaos energy hanging down from the Chaos Crucible also blocked most of the light.

Chu Mo's heart shivered slightly, "What a formidable scheme, if it were someone else, they would likely be doomed!"

Chu Mo hadn't fallen into their trap, but the enemies didn't know that!

Immediately, four assassins from four different directions charged toward Chu Mo, aiming to deliver a fatal blow!

Among these four, one was at the Nine Heavens Realm of Emperor Realm, one at the Eight Heavens Realm, and two at the peak of the Seven Heavens Realm!

This was the most powerful force among the group of assassins, while the remaining dozen took over the control of the main arrays, continuously operating them at full force!

The arrays could actually change their controllers at any time!

Chu Mo stood there calmly, his eyes cold. His long hair cascaded over his shoulders, his blood energy vibrant, stirring the spirits of those who beheld him. Holding the Heaven Slaying blade and with the Chaos Crucible overhead, emitting countless strands of chaos energy, he truly looked like an unmatched god of slaughter.

Yet, to the four assassins, this was a pleasant surprise!

"He's fallen for it!"

"Hahaha, such composure this young beast has… even now, he still pretends like nothing is amiss, deceiving us. This time, his death is certain!"

"Enough talk, kill!" said the Nine Heavens Realm assassin, not wanting any unnecessary complications. Anything else could wait until after they had killed Chu Mo!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Four attacks, each from a different direction, furiously blasted toward Chu Mo!

These were not magical attacks, but pure brute force!

Each strike could shatter a slightly smaller star!

The combined attack of four high-ranking Emperors, against a cultivator completely unaware of the imminent danger, would certainly be lethal!

The four assassins thought sure of their success, their faces lighting up with happy smiles as they envisioned Chu Mo's body being obliterated. Finally… they could fulfill their ancestor's command!

The very space where they had struck collapsed outright. Countless chaotic currents surged tumultuously, like giant waves.

Each wave possessed terrifying power that could smash a true immortal to pieces!

However, there was one problem—Chu Mo had disappeared!

None of the graphic scenes of Chu Mo being blown apart and dying miserably that they had imagined happened; they didn't even catch a glimpse of him!

The smiles on the faces of the four high-ranking Emperors froze instantly, and even the assassins controlling the arrays were left dumbfounded.

"Be careful!"

At that moment, an assassin on the perimeter suddenly let out a shrill, piercing cry of alarm.

Bang!

The Nine Heavens Realm assassin suddenly felt an overwhelming murderous aura envelop him. His sharp instincts honed from years on the brink of life and death made him flash like an illusion, instantly moving thousands of miles away.

But to everyone's eyes, his action seemed like he had deliberately thrown himself under the opponent's blade.

Crack!

With a single strike of the Chopping Wood Technique, Chu Mo cleaved the Nine Heavens Realm Emperor in half.

Then, blood-soaked Chu Mo vanished again, like a ghost. At this point, Chu Mo had escaped from the entrapment array!

Now, he resembled an assassin more than those killers...

And he was more terrifying!
