I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 33 The Moment of Strike
As soon as Chen Yinfu spoke, the entire room fell silent, and everyone turned to look at the four people who were walking towards them.

Zhou Liang grew anxious and tugged at Chen Yinfu's sleeve, "Brother Chen, are you really going to hand over the Second Young Master?!"

Chen Yinfu coldly retorted, "Don't ask any more questions."

Zhou Liang said no more, but felt an indescribable sorrow in his heart. His eyes were filled with regret and heartache as he looked at the young man in the brocade robe.

Although Zhou Liang understood Chen Yinfu's decision to sacrifice his son to protect the Chen family, he was ultimately a martial artist with a strong sense of righteousness and a considerable amount of chivalry.

I feel so sorry for the second young master.

The once prosperous Chen family has only three descendants.

One is Chen Wu, one is Chen Yu'er, and one is Chen Mo.

Although Chen Wu is good, he is still young, and his talent in martial arts and interpersonal skills are far inferior to Chen Mo's. If the Chen family loses Chen Mo, the family will surely decline when Chen Yinfu gets old.

Chen Wu and Chen Yu'er alone could not possibly protect this family business.

But the bandits were incredibly fierce, and Zhou Liang wanted to kill them, but he didn't have the strength.

Thinking of this, Zhou Liang couldn't help but cry out in sorrow, "Brother Chen, it's my fault for being incompetent."

Chen Yinfu ignored Zhou Liang and continued to give Liu Mazi a fawning smile, appearing obsequious.

"Hahaha, Chen Laogou really knows how to get things done." Liu Mazi laughed heartily, then sheathed his soft sword and quickly walked towards Lu Wei with the bald man and the axe-wielding man.

As for the servant who was helping Lu Wei, Liu Mazi didn't take him seriously.

The Chen family's most skilled guards had already made their move, so the one who appeared now must be just an ordinary servant, especially since this servant was wearing an old robe and had no weapons. He was probably just an ordinary servant.

When Liu Mazi reached Lu Wei, he stopped. "You've suffered enough. Did that Chen kid bully you during that time?"

Lu Wei was in a daze. Although his eyes were open, he could not speak. His hands and feet were also very weak, and he could hardly stand up.

Ok?
Liu Mazi's gaze sharpened as he stared at Chen Mo, who was dressed in a servant's robe, and asked, "What's wrong with my brother?"

Chen Mo delivered the explanation he had prepared beforehand: "He caught a cold and has a persistent high fever. But we've already seen a doctor, and he's fine. He just needs to rest for a while."

Liu Mazi touched Lu Wei's forehead and found it was indeed very hot, so he had no doubts. He glanced at "Chen Mo," whom Qiu Lan was supporting in the distance, and snorted, "It's good that you, Chen family brat, still have some conscience. If anything happens to Lu Wei, I will not let you off easily."

Chen Mo bowed repeatedly, his attitude extremely flattering.

Chen Mo helped Lu Wei, whom he was supporting, into Liu Mazi's arms, his face showing a trembling and frightened expression. "Young Master did all the things that happened to Lu Wei. I don't know anything about it. I'm handing Lu Wei over to you now, hero."

Although he claimed to be afraid, Chen Mo was actually keeping a close eye on everything around him.

After observing for a while, I was secretly surprised: besides Liu Mazi, there were two other experts at the Blood Rising Realm. No wonder they dared to invade my Chen Mansion and beat Uncle Zhou and his gang to a pulp. If it were a head-on confrontation, even if I could win, I would probably be injured. Fortunately, I had prepared a backup plan.

Chen Mo had a finely crafted steel dagger hidden in his sleeve. It was half a foot long, small but sharp enough.

He considered it again.

The closest person to him at that moment was Liu Mazi, a tall, burly man carrying an axe, about five meters to his right, with a fierce expression and an aura of menace. The bald man with a knife was about five meters to his left, holding the knife warily and cautiously; he seemed a prudent man and not someone to be trifled with.

They should have killed Liu Mazi first, then the axe-wielding man. With only the bald man left, he wouldn't be a threat.

Having made up his mind, Chen Mo no longer hesitated. While pushing Lu Wei into Liu Mazi's arms, he closed the distance between them and kept a close eye on Liu Mazi's expression.

It was clear that Liu Mazi was confident of victory and didn't have many doubts. After all, Lu Wei was right in front of him.

The distance between the two sides gradually decreased.

one meter.

Half a meter.

Seeing Lu Wei's weak and listless appearance, Liu Mazi felt a sense of unease. He had grown up with his older cousin and younger cousin since childhood. Before he became a bandit, his family was poor and often went hungry. It was his older cousin who went out to do needlework to support him and Lu Wei.

Later, my cousin overworked herself, damaging her lungs and heart, and passed away young. She left behind only Lu Wei. On her deathbed, she held Liu Mazi's hand and instructed him to treat her younger cousin well.

Although Liu Mazi was a bandit, he knew how to repay kindness. He always upheld his cousin's instructions and indulged Lu Wei quite a bit, even though Lu Wei often went to the city to see Yao Jie'er, bullied others, and caused him a lot of trouble. Liu Mazi still spoiled him.

Now that Lu Wei has caught a high fever and cold, he feels even more guilty towards his cousin and is in a state of utter confusion.

Just then, Liu Mazi reached out and helped Lu Wei up, saying, "If anything happens to you, how can I face your sister? Come back with me quickly, I'll find you the best doctor and make sure you get better."

"It's all because that Chen boy was so ignorant, causing you so much suffering. Don't worry, I'll take him home so you can vent your anger on him. Then I'll hand him over to the old woman."

After saying that, Liu Mazi hugged Lu Wei tightly. "Come on, I'll take you back right now..."

Before he could even utter the word "home," Liu Mazi suddenly felt an inexplicable and intense threat, followed by a flash of silver light.

not good!

dangerous!
Liu Mazi instinctively reached for his sword, but before his hand even touched the hilt of the soft sword, he suddenly felt a chill run straight to his head.

too fast!
He tried to react, but it was too late.

With a soft "thud," a cold dagger plunged deep into his forehead. His eyes widened as he stared intently at the "cowardly" servant before him.

He tried to speak, but felt his consciousness rapidly fading away. Then everything went black, and he fell straight backward.

At the critical moment, Chen Mo finally seized the opportunity to make his move!
He had waited for a very, very long time, all for this one moment.

At that instant, the bald man and the axe-wielding man not far away also looked in Chen Mo's direction. Almost simultaneously, before Liu Mazi's body had even fallen, Chen Mo transformed into a blur and quickly rushed towards the axe-wielding man five meters away.

By the time the axe-wielding man realized his brother had been killed, Chen Mo was already in front of him, stabbing his dagger fiercely into his chest.

"You bastard, how dare you kill my brother! You're asking for death!" The axe-wielding man pulled out his axe and blocked the dagger with a loud clang.

The axe-wielding man thought he had blocked the attack and that his chance to retaliate had arrived. However, the next moment he realized that this servant was no ordinary person.

The dagger's thrust was terrifyingly powerful, causing the axe-wielding man to stagger backward, almost losing his balance.

The axe-wielding man thought to himself, "This is bad."

bump!
Chen Mo pushed the two-meter-tall giant backward, and then took out his left hand, which had been hidden in his sleeve, and slammed it down on the axe like a giant hammer.

The third move of the Mysterious Yin Hand: Block and Strike Hammer!

The axe-wielding man, who was already somewhat off balance, was hit so hard that he stumbled backward even faster and lost his balance completely.

The axe-wielding man panicked.

This servant is far more formidable than Zhou Liang. When did the Chen family begin to hide such a master?

Before the axe-wielding man could think, Chen Mo's dagger had already cleared the way, bypassing the axe and slicing across the man's neck.

Phew!

A scarlet head flew three meters away in an instant before falling to the ground, blood gushing out from the severed neck.

In an instant, two experts at the Blood Reaching Realm died!

The bald man finally came to his senses and shouted, "Old dog Chen, how dare you ambush us! Kill this dog's servant!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the servant grab the third son's giant axe and charge fiercely towards him. The intimidating force, like a tiger pouncing on its prey, almost scared the bald man out of his wits.
