Bai Wu still had that squinty, lecherous smile on his face. Facing the Purple and Green Double Swords shooting toward him like lightning, he calmly stretched out a single finger and flicked lightly.

The Purple and Green Double Swords, which had been coming in fiercely like a hot knife through butter, rang with a clang and were flicked back, tumbling through the air.

The gap in strength between the two sides was still far too great.

"Little lady, with such a pretty face, even your angry look has its own flavor." Bai Wu said with a squinty smile.

"Go to hell." Yingzi gripped the hilt of the Purple and Green Double Swords, her figure like drifting wind and rain, petals falling; sword light swam around her like schools of fish, and the fierce Sword Qi tore through the air, emitting a faint, sharp whistling sound.

The treasure sword in Sima Zining’s hand also began to tremble; a razor‑sharp sword light burst forth, illuminating the surroundings in an instant as it shot straight toward Bai Wu.

This treasure sword had been left to her by Lin Mo. Later, when the Earth ruins appeared, she obtained quite a few Treasures and reforged it; it was now also a very fine Magic Treasure.

"Two little ladies in a rage—today I’m taking both." Bai Wu grinned shamelessly, extending a finger to tap lightly.

Clang!

Finger and sword tip met. Sima Zining’s entire body’s True Yuan was fully mobilized, but she still couldn’t make the sword tip move even half an inch. Instead, the surging Gang Qi reversed out from the tip and spread, wrapping Sima Zining up.

Bai Wu controlled one person with each hand, casually blocking both women’s attacks as if it were nothing.

This time, the two women had come with the resolve to die, but they never imagined that facing Bai Wu, they didn’t even have the strength to injure him.

"Bai Wu, stop playing. Finish them quickly, don’t delay setting up the Array." Jia Wu, who had been watching coldly from the side, spoke up.

"Jia Wu, women with this sort of personality are the tastiest. If you want one, I’ll give you one to play with." Bai Wu even had the leisure to turn his head and throw Jia Wu a suggestive look.

"Idiot." Red Scorpion rolled her eyes at Bai Wu, speaking with disdain.

Bang! Bang!

Two sonic booms from shattering air rang out as Sima Zining and Yingzi were blasted back, tumbling through the air. Their faces went pale, bright blood smearing at the corners of their mouths, like two pure white camellias whose "beauty’s face had been clawed open."

"Tsk tsk, the more I look, the more flavorful you get." Bai Wu licked his lips, not bothering to hide the filthy desire in his heart.

"Bullying two women—what kind of hero do you think that makes you?"

Suddenly, an angry shout rang through heaven and earth, faintly shaking the Mountains.

In the distance, four figures suddenly flew in—three men and one woman. Aside from one man, whose cultivation was Star Sea Level Early Stage, the other three were all High-level Star Lake.

"Master Fang... Master Liang... the two Master Wu." Sima Zining looked over, stunned for a moment, then called out.

"The four Masters are here too." Yingzi was also surprised.

At the head, Fang Tangjing, dressed in black Tight clothes, swept a cold glance over Bai Wu and the other two, then looked at Sima Zining and said, "The men of the Nine Continents Secret Realm aren’t dead yet. How could we let women stand in front blocking for us?"

Originally, the four Masters had discovered a Secret Realm, and for the last seven or eight years they’d been comprehending within it, trying to make another breakthrough. Faced with this great crisis, they had all come out of seclusion.

"Another four helpers? I’d say you’re here to die." Bai Wu sneered.

But his gaze still fell on the middle‑aged man in black Tight clothes. He was the only Star Sea Level Cultivator present, yet with this lineup, there was still a massive gap compared to their side’s three people.

"You people here really are strange. You know you’re going to die, and you still dare to come?" Red Scorpion also flew out at this moment, standing beside Bai Wu, frowning as she sneered.

Fang Tangjing said, "Earth isn’t a place for you to run wild. We shed our blood and lay down our heads, only so our steel spines won’t bend."

"Steel spines that don’t bend, huh? Then today I’ll shatter every bone in your bodies and see if you can’t learn to bow." Bai Wu sneered.

...

Kunlun Mountain had always been full of eyes and ears. Now, seeing that the experts of the Nine Continents Secret Realm and the Four Great Martial Arts Schools had all appeared, the Martial Alliances of the world were instantly shocked. Although the Great Forces who had obtained precise Combat Power data on the other side all knew the strength gap in this battle was far too great, everyone still harbored a sliver of hope in their hearts.

They hoped the Cultivators of Earth could win!

The Martial Arts Forum was also boiling over.

The Martial Arts Forum was where all Martial Artists gathered. Satellites locked directly onto Kunlun Mountain to transmit live footage.

"Yo, the old geezers of the Four Great Martial Arts Schools have come out, and those two beauties—those should be Lin Tanyu’s wives, right?"

"Lin Tanyu’s wives are really beautiful."

"Upstairs, you still have the mood to talk about that? Even with all four Masters of the Four Great Martial Arts Schools attacking together, I don’t think they can deal with those three."

"If they could have taken care of those three earlier, they’d have come out long ago. Right now they’re just forced into it."

"The Four Great Martial Arts Schools are done for this time. Can’t win but still come out to fight—ugh, what a disgrace." Young Master Wei from the Wei Family posted; he’d been unable to sit still these last two days.

"Young Master Wei, all you can do is spit sarcasm online. If you’ve got guts, you go up there."

Young Master Wei: "Me? Go up? I buy a fridge—does that mean I have to know how to repair one? What an international joke."

Young Master Wei couldn’t be bothered to argue with these trolls. His fingers flew over the keyboard. "Where’s Lin Tanyu? Where’s your great hero Lin Tanyu at a time like this? Hahaha, what a piece of trash. Still hasn’t shown his face—said he’d slap mine? My face is right here."

...

"Earth, I finally made it back." Outside the atmosphere, Lin Mo put away the spaceship into his Space Ring, then in a flicker of motion, flew straight toward the Nine Continents Secret Realm, heart pounding with excitement.

The Array of the Nine Continents Secret Realm was child’s play to Lin Mo now. He didn’t need to use a Token and flew straight in.

"Thirty years... for ordinary people, that’s more than a third of their whole life."

Lin Mo sighed inwardly as he arrived at the Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall, his Divine Thought spreading outward.

Inside a classical courtyard within Sword Heart, he had placed his parents here back when he left Earth.

In the courtyard, a middle‑aged man and a middle‑aged woman were standing together, worry written on both their faces.

"Dad, Mom, I’m back!"

Lin Mo appeared directly in front of them, giving the two of them quite a scare.

By age, Lin Guang and Yang Chuxue were almost seventy now, but they looked just as they had back then. A Cultivator’s appearance doesn’t age easily; to Cultivators, seventy was still very young.

"Xiao Mo."

"Xiao Mo."

Lin Guang and Yang Chuxue stared in a daze for several seconds before they finally came back to their senses. Looking at their son who had suddenly appeared in front of them, Yang Chuxue’s eyes turned red as she hurried forward to grab Lin Mo’s hand. "Xiao Mo, you’re back."

"Yeah, Mom, I’m back." Lin Mo nodded, then asked, "Where are Yingzi and Zi Ning?"

Lin Guang said anxiously, "This isn’t the time to chat. Xiao Mo, you came back at the right time—Yingzi and Zi Ning are in danger!"

Lin Mo’s expression changed; his Divine Thought instantly spread out, enveloping the entire Earth. "Dad, Mom, wait for me to come back."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Mo’s figure vanished from where he stood.
