When Chen Mu and his companions arrived at the Weng Mountain Tribe, they indeed saw a cavalry force of over a hundred men attacking the Weng Mountain Tribe.

At this moment, the cavalry had just breached the gate of the Weng Mountain Tribe and were shouting as they charged in.

Chen Mu and his three companions each took out their weapons from their storage rings and followed closely behind the bandits inside.

" Mingye, you stay here and hold things up! Leave it to us."

Chen Mu could tell that Mingye wasn't interested in this kind of battle. She was skilled at assassinations in the shadows, and this kind of open and direct combat was not what she liked.

Moreover, the little girl who had just been rescued needed someone to take care of her, so Chen Mu simply handed the little girl over to her.

Shouts of battle filled the entire Weng Mountain Tribe. Everyone was in a frenzy of fighting. The people of the Weng Mountain Tribe didn't even notice Chen Mu's arrival. Some even mistook him for a bandit.

However, Chen Mu didn't care; these people couldn't hurt the three of them at all.

To avoid accidental injury, Chen Mu didn't use the Rune Gun, but instead took out a wooden stick.

The [ Acala Heart Sutra ] only contains fist and palm techniques, as well as staff techniques, so Chen Mu's close combat weapon is a wooden staff.

This wooden stick is no ordinary item either. It was made from ten-thousand-year-old spiritual wood that Chen Mu purchased from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and then personally forged. He added many auxiliary runes to it, making it an extremely powerful magical artifact.

Chen Mu named it the Dharma-Breaking Staff." He made two; one for himself and the other, naturally, for Chen Duo.

Only after breaking through to the Qi Nourishing Realm did Chen Mu understand why the magical artifacts he had forged in the village before were so weak.

It turns out that a weapon after being forged with spirit can only unleash its true power after reaching the Qi Nourishing Realm.

All magical artifacts are powered by Spiritual Power; without Spiritual Power, they are merely tools made of slightly better materials.

As for martial artists in the Body Tempering Realm, their Spiritual Power is too thin. Giving them magical artifacts is like feeding a thoroughbred horse that hasn't had enough to eat. It can still run, but it certainly won't be very powerful.

Only by entering the Qi Nourishing Realm and opening up the Qi Sea within the body can one have a sufficiently large supply of Spiritual Power to supply the treasure, thereby unleashing its true power.

Snap! Boom!

Riding his Dragon-Horned Horse, Chen Mu was invincible, knocking down bandits one by one. Those who were slightly weaker were killed with a single blow.

Those who dare to become bandits are all ruthless individuals; without considerable strength, it would be difficult for them to have survived until now. Therefore, although they were caught off guard by the attack, they quickly recovered and formed a team to besiege Chen Mu and his two companions.

Of Chen Mu three, only Chen Duo has not yet become Martial Master, but she has a solid foundation and is not far from breaking through, so this level of encirclement and attack did not bring her much pressure.

Clang! Clang!

A Huo had the strongest attack power. Those who surrounded him could not harm him at all. Instead, they were all killed by him. In a short time, he killed more than a dozen people.

"Boss, these guys are tough to deal with, what should we do?"

This band of bandits is called the Blood Wolf Gang, and the gaunt man holding a long knife in front of him is Qi Lang, the leader of the Blood Wolf Gang.

Qi Lang was a bandit who had fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood; how could he be afraid of Chen Mu and a few other greenhorns?

"You lot, come with me and kill that sword-wielding brat first!"

Qi Lang charged towards A Huo in a few leaps, brandishing his long sword with murderous intent, and slashed down at Ah Huo's head.

" Qi Nourishing Realm?"

A Huo dared not be careless, never expecting that there would be Martial Master master among these bandits.

With a loud bang, A Huo was knocked back a step by Qi Lang.

Immediately afterwards, several more people attacked A Huo. Although these people were not Martial Master, they were all Ninth-Duan Martial Artist and were proficient in combined attack tactics. A Huo was caught off guard and was in grave danger.

Chen Mu noticed A Huo's predicament and immediately charged towards him.

" A Huo, hang in there! I'm coming right away!"

"Men, stop him!"

Qi Lang, with his rich combat experience, immediately ordered his men to intercept Chen Mu.

The bandits were all desperate and incredibly brave; Chen Mu couldn't break through them in a short time.

Chen Mu was furious and took out several talismans.

Explosive Flame Talisman!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With a series of loud bangs, Chen Mu blasted a path and rushed to A Huo's side.

Ta-da!

Chen Mu's Dharma-Breaking Staff clashed with Qi Lang's longsword. One was upright and fierce, the other ruthless and vicious. The two were evenly matched and fought back and forth.

Without Qi Lang, a master, A Huo's pressure immediately decreased. The sword Sword Qi in his hand surged, and with a few flashes, he injured a Ninth-Duan Martial Artist.

Just then, A Huo suddenly sensed an alarm and immediately activated a protective talisman.

With a bang, the protective shield formed by the amulet was shattered, and a silver needle fell from the sky.

" Earth Level protective amulet? Heh heh, what a pity!"

However, I'd like to see how many you have left!

Amidst the chaotic crowd, a short, weasel-faced old man appeared, but he quickly disappeared back into the throng.

Ding! Ding!

Several more silver needles silently approached A Huo, but he knocked them all down.

He only realized what was happening at the last moment because of the sneak attack; now that he was on guard, these silver needles were no longer such a threat.

However, the silver needles fired by the old man who launched the sneak attack were able to break through the protective talisman made by Chen Mu, so he was obviously at least at the Qi Nourishing Realm. A Huo also needed to concentrate on dealing with him.

On Chen Mu's side, he used a set of Demon-Breaking Staff Technique, which was moderate and balanced, and was just right to counter Qi Lang's vicious and ruthless fighting style, suppressing Qi Lang to the disadvantage, but it was impossible to determine a winner for the time being.

He worried that things might change if things continued this way, so he had no choice but to resort to covert methods.

Soul Power spread, forming a wave in the air, rushing towards Qi Lang's mind.

Qi Lang felt a momentary dizziness as a pale golden staff slammed down in front of him.

With a loud bang!

Qi Lang was knocked to the ground with a single blow, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.

Chen Mu pressed his advantage, slamming his stick into the ground again.

With a clang, the long sword flew through the air, and Qi Lang's figure burst out of the gray mist, attempting to escape.

A long howl came from his mouth, and the Blood Wolf Gang members immediately stopped and rushed towards the tribe's gate, clearly a signal for their retreat.

" Mingye, stop them!"

Chen Mu loathed these people and wished he could kill them, so he no longer cared about the boast he had made earlier.

He activated a Windwalking Talisman and chased after Qi Lang, while also throwing out several Explosive Flame Talisman to block the Blood Wolf Gang's escape route.

After a fierce battle between Chen Mu and his two companions, as well as the people of the Weng Mountain Tribe, the Blood Wolf Gang was reduced to less than half its original size. Their defeat was swift and devastating. Although they had mounts that allowed them to escape at great speed, only a few managed to break through the encirclement.

A flash of silver light streaked through the air. Qi Lang, already severely injured, was struck in the heart by Mingye's flying knife and died instantly.

Another short, elderly man was also being relentlessly pursued by A Huo.

A Huo seemed to hate these people to the core, even disregarding his own safety, he fought the short old man to the death, and finally killed the old man by himself.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Chen Mu was still not satisfied. He used Windwalking Talisman to empower the Dragon-Horned Horse and chased after it outside the tribe.

A moment later, he killed the few Blood Wolf Gang who had escaped before returning.
