"Brother Hu Kuang, it's not your fault, so don't blame yourself. These people have long coveted the treasures on me. Even without you, they would have found me." Lin Mo opened his eyes and said calmly.

"Within the storm barrier, I encountered the mysterious blue lightning, I guess it was your doing, wasn't it?"

Although the storm barrier occasionally had mysterious blue lightning, two of them would never appear at the same time. It seemed likely that Lao Du and others were behind this.

Lao Du didn't seem in a hurry to kill Lin Mo; all three of them at the Star System Level Early Stage acted together. Even if Guo Lu and Ming King, who were at the Intermediate Strong level of the Star System, encountered them, they might not find it easy to overcome the three.

Not to mention a mere Star Sea Level High Realm Lin Tanyu.

"I didn't expect you to figure it out. Indeed, I used some little tricks in the storm barrier. Originally, I planned to wait until you were turned into dust by the mysterious blue lightning so I could take your space ring. But I never imagined you could withstand the attack of two mysterious blue lightning strikes." Lao Du said slowly, "It seems you carry many treasures; otherwise, with your cultivation realm, how could you withstand the attack of two mysterious blue lightning?"

Lin Mo's cultivation and power weren't strong, a Star Sea Level High Realm cultivation, only considered upper mid-tier among the people in Ruins City.

However, Lin Mo had defeated Lei Ying at the Star System Level Early Stage and even withstood three moves from the Ming King Copper Corpse. The martial arts he used seemed like 'Boundary-level Martial Arts', and he possessed a secret technique or treasure to quickly purify Nether Origin Stones.

All these factors made people speculate that Lin Mo was a genius from some sect sent out for training, otherwise, how could he have so many treasures, and once these treasures were revealed in front of others, they aroused much envy.

"Lin Tanyu, whether you are a genius disciple from the Great Demon Hall or the Ice Origin Palace, today is just your misfortune meeting us three. Hand over all your treasures and martial arts obediently, and also tell us the secret of how you purify the Nether Origin Stone quickly. Perhaps I'll spare your life." Lao Du's voice was sharp, and his tone was grim.

"If I hand everything over to you, will you really let me go?" Lin Mo sneered, "Raising a tiger invites calamity. Once I hand over all my treasures, won't you kill me without mercy? After all, keeping a troublemaker would make you uneasy."

"Fine, fine, fine. Since you refuse to hand over your treasures, I'll have to kill you myself." Lao Du's eyes narrowed, the sinister light of a poison snake flashed uncertainly within his pupils, like a jungle serpent ready to strike its prey at any moment.

Lin Mo frowned with sword eyebrows. He was currently purifying a Nether Origin Stone, and interrupting it now might ruin the process, causing true yuan to reverse and leaving serious injuries. But if he didn't stop cultivating, facing the attack from Lao Du's trio meant certain death.

Just then, Lin Mo's expression changed suddenly as strands of light blue threads appeared in the sky above, as hazy as the misty rain of Jiangnan, falling down. Strands of hair-like mysterious blue lightning appeared abruptly, making the surrounding true yuan and space tremble almost simultaneously.

"Dodge, it's mysterious blue lightning!"

Lie Huo shouted, and the three hurriedly moved away.

"I never thought God would help us. Now we don't have to strike. He's caught in mysterious blue lightning, and soon he will be reduced to dust." Hei Zhu laughed.

Lin Mo furrowed his sword brows tightly. Those rain-thread-like mysterious blue lightning bolts had already fallen, and though not as powerful as the hundred-meter-wide lightning at the mountain's crest, they were numerous and densely penetrated his body, causing Lin Mo to tremble as if his muscles, cells, meridians, and skin were about to be destroyed by the mysterious blue lightning.

Rustle!

The Star Wheel Universe Map in his dantian suddenly emitted a domineering devouring power, swallowing those mysterious blue lightning bolts into the Star Wheel Universe Map, and then re-emitted the mysterious blue lightning within. But these re-emitted mysterious blue lightnings no longer held the same ferocity, only slightly exceeding what Lin Mo's physical body could bear.

Lin Mo displayed a hint of joy.

These mysterious blue lightning bolts had the effect of quenching the physical body, but their violent force was weakened a lot, fitting within what Lin Mo could withstand.

This peculiar change naturally made Lin Mo incomparably delighted. These mysterious blue lightning bolts acted like quenching fires, continuously strengthening his physique. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

For a moment, Lao Du and the others were dazed. They initially thought Lin Mo caught in this dense mystic blue would soon be reduced to dust, but after waiting for a while, they saw Lin Mo unscathed amid the mysterious blue rain of lightning and were stunned for a long time.

"Big brother Lao Du, what's going on? This kid must have some heavy treasure on him that makes him unafraid of mysterious blue lightning?" Hei Zhu widened his eyes in surprise.

Lao Du and Lie Huo didn't need him to say anything, they had already noticed something strange about Lin Mo, a strong greed climbing into their eyes.

"Kill this kid, maybe we can obtain some supreme treasures. We don't have the power to contend with the Five Primus Sect or the Hexagram Sect for the treasures in this space, but if we gain some benefits from him, this trip wouldn't be in vain." Lao Du said, forming an array in his hand, then a cloth bag appeared in his palm.

"Kid, since you refuse to hand over the treasures, don't blame me for being ruthless, leaving you with no place to be buried." Lao Du directly opened the cloth bag, and a continuous buzzing sound ensued as a torrent of black insects poured out from the bag, counted in the tens of billions, dense as clouds.

Insect Cultivation?

Seeing the dense swarm of insects like a hurricane rushing towards Lin Mo.

Insect cultivation is a very peculiar cultivation method, raising all kinds of strange insects in the universe, feeding them with one's true yuan, using some combat techniques to control the insects in battle, its combat power extremely terrifying.

Among cultivators of the same level, the enemy they least want to face is an insect cultivator, those strange and immense numbers of insects make anyone's scalp tingle.

But the dense black insects disintegrated into dust as soon as they entered the 'Mysterious Blue Thunderstorm'.

"Damn, these mysterious blue lightning bolts are too powerful." Seeing his insects suffered significant losses, Lao Du's face changed slightly, immediately sealing and retrieving the remaining black insects into the cloth bag.

"Big brother, why not let me handle him directly." Lie Huo gritted his teeth, a cold and sinister light in his eyes.

"No. If there is too much fluctuation in true yuan, it will easily attract the mysterious blue lightning to us, and then all three of us could be turned to dust." Hei Zhu immediately shook his head.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, are we just going to watch him cultivate here?" Lie Huo frowned.

Lao Du's mouth curled up in a strange arc: "You all saw him purifying the Nether Origin Stone. The Nether Origin Stone contains the vicious aura of beasts. If he can't immediately purify the remnants of the vicious aura within him, his cultivation will stop, and the mysterious blue lightning will turn him into dust."

"Big brother, are you suggesting to let him absorb the Nether Origin Stone, increasing the vicious aura within him, causing a deviation?" Lie Huo's eyes lit up.
