Chen Mo didn't stop swinging the steel pipe in his hand. He didn't have any fighting skills or techniques, just the usual methods for a street brawl. Now that he had a weapon, he swung it directly at them, not only calmly dodging the clubs and steel pipes that came at him but also swinging the steel pipe in his hand at their arms and legs. This wasn't the time to be soft-hearted. He used as much strength as he could, so these henchmen suffered. Every place Chen Mo's steel pipe hit resulted in either a fracture or a broken bone, and they all lost their fighting ability in an instant.
Strength, in many situations, is the most direct manifestation. As long as you have strength far exceeding your opponent's, whether it's moves, techniques, numbers, or weapons, facing overwhelming strength means direct, accurate, and rapid crushing. This is the truth! This is what Chen Mo was experiencing now. Although he had been exposed to cultivation for a long time, four years in total, he hadn't delved into anything other than cultivating True Essence. But now, at Qi Refining Layer One, his physical condition and strength far surpassed these thugs. They had no means to counter Chen Mo's strength, so the result was that over a dozen people were on their knees!
In just a few minutes, all of Brother Hai's dozen men, except for himself, were lying on the ground.
Brother Hai was stunned. He hadn't expected this brat to be so capable, which only ignited his ferocity. He directly grabbed the saber in his hand and charged at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo hadn't expected this guy called Brother Hai to be so gutsy. His henchmen were all beaten down, yet he didn't run. Instead, it seemed to have ignited his fierce spirit, and he charged at Chen Mo with a saber. Chen Mo actually admired him a little. He hadn't expected a gangster to have some domineering aura. He was truly amazing, this gangster!
However, while he admired him, Chen Mo definitely had no taste for being chopped. So, he used the steel pipe in his hand to forcefully knock against Brother Hai's saber, sending it flying. Furthermore, the flying saber also sliced across Brother Hai's left wrist, creating a very deep gash. Not only were the muscles exposed, but blood also spurted out. As if that wasn't enough, by sheer coincidence, the steel pipe, after knocking away the saber, continued its trajectory and smashed onto Brother Hai's right wrist, shattering the bones within.
As a cultivator, under the observation of Spiritual Sense, there seemed to be no such thing as coincidence. But Chen Mo wouldn't admit it; it was all just coincidence.
Holding the steel pipe, Chen Mo watched Brother Hai writhe on the ground clutching his hands and howling. He felt a sense of relief; another evil person was gone from this world.
Chen Mo was still standing there, lost in thought, when he heard the roar of an engine. A Cherokee suddenly shot out from the other end of the dirt road, heading straight for Chen Mo.
But he didn't make any move, just watched the car approach. It only stopped about ten meters away from him because its front wheels were blocked by the sprawled bodies of many howling individuals. If it wanted to hit Chen Mo, it would have to crush them first.
"Clang! Clang!" Two sounds came as the car doors opened and closed. A woman in a police uniform, with a heroic and graceful demeanor, got out of the car and directly pulled out a pistol, pointing it at Chen Mo.
"Don't move! Police!" the woman shouted. She looked only in her twenties, but she was so beautiful that it made one want to commit a crime. Her serious and focused expression gave off an unreal feeling. This woman was so beautiful, so unique, especially her figure, which was devilishly perfect, making one want to commit a crime out of impulse.
Chen Mo obediently threw the steel pipe in his hand away and then silently raised his hands. As for committing a crime, hehe! He hadn't tried any rash behavior under the muzzle of a gun, nor did he want to test if he could block bullets. A cultivator at Qi Refining Layer One, without any spells or talismans, would definitely be helpless against a gun.
The female police officer frowned as she looked at the people lying on the ground and the guy standing there looking somewhat bored. But she didn't say anything. She directly put her gun away, then took a step forward and rushed in front of Chen Mo. Without a word, she threw a punch at his face.
Even though she was a police officer, Chen Mo had no taste for being hit, so not fighting back was impossible. He directly put up a block. Although it lacked any formal moves, it was still a case of countering an attack.
Unexpectedly, when he touched the female police officer's arm, a surge of powerful force came from her arm, pushing Chen Mo's arm back. If his reaction speed hadn't been incredibly fast, that punch would have definitely hit his face. Moreover, a surge of Qi entered from the point of contact, and his arm immediately felt numb, as if he couldn't lift it.
Chen Mo immediately circulated his True Essence, dispelling the surge of Qi. Fortunately, he managed to dispel it in time, and sensation returned to his arm as normal. But that wasn't the main point. The main point was this surge of Qi, which astonished Chen Mo. He hadn't expected to encounter something like this. This Qi was unlike his True Essence; it was like another form. However, since it was his first encounter, he couldn't guess what it was, but this Qi was definitely not ordinary.
"Eh!" The female police officer's arm also went numb, but she was blocked by Chen Mo's strength. She didn't feel Chen Mo's True Essence, which was a testament to Chen Mo's restraint. He had blocked the female police officer's attack relying solely on his Qi Refining Layer One physique. He was at a disadvantage; if he had used True Essence, it would have been a different story. However, up to this point, Chen Mo's use of True Essence was still in its infancy, like a young bride on her wedding sedan chair; everything was in the exploratory stage.
"Whose inheritor are you? Why are you fighting ordinary people?" the female police officer stopped attacking and asked sternly.
Chen Mo, however, was depressed. He didn't seem to understand what the female police officer was saying, though he understood the meaning of "inheritor." But what was she trying to convey? Ordinary people? Were these thugs ordinary people? They were thugs, alright! Did ordinary people carry clubs and steel pipes like them?
"Chen Family!" Although Chen Mo didn't understand the meaning behind the female police officer's words, it didn't prevent him from understanding the literal meaning. So, based on his surname, he directly answered, "Chen Family."
The female police officer frowned. Chen Family? Could it be a descendant of the Chen Family of Cangzhou? But why would they come here? This was her territory.
"Since you are from the Chen Family of Cangzhou, why did you attack ordinary people?" the female police officer asked again.
Chen Family of Cangzhou? What the heck? What was going on? Chen Mo was completely bewildered. Fortunately, this expression only appeared in his mind and didn't show on his face, otherwise, it would have definitely made the female police officer suspicious.
"Please wait a moment!" Although Chen Mo didn't understand what the female police officer was saying, he wouldn't delve into it. The situation today had become complicated due to the female police officer's intervention. However, it was fortunate that he had anticipated such a situation and had already turned on his phone's recording.
Chen Mo turned and walked to where the phone was, picked it up, saved the recording he had just made, and then brought it to the female police officer. He clicked play and handed it to her.
"Take a look, and you'll understand the whole story!" Chen Mo said as he handed over the phone.
The female police officer was slightly surprised when she saw Chen Mo turn and pick up the hidden phone from the ground. She hadn't expected someone from the Chen family to be so cunning. It was rather interesting.
She took the phone and watched the video file from beginning to end. After watching it, she nodded. She understood the whole story now. Although she didn't know why these people were causing trouble for this member of the Chen family, since they attacked first, the person in front of her bore no responsibility. Even if they were ordinary people, they deserved to be taken down for attacking first.
"Why were they causing trouble for you?" the female police officer asked. She needed to understand the reason.
Chen Mo recounted the entire incident of his feud with Brother Hai, and then mentioned his school. There was nothing to hide; his school could be easily verified with a quick check.
After understanding the whole story, the female police officer didn't ask anything further. She hadn't expected the person in front of her to be a student, which explained how someone from the Chen family ended up here.
