Chapter 936: You've Disturbed My Wife

The woman was dressed in a blue martial artist's attire, which perfectly outlined her figure. Although her appearance was not exceptionally beautiful, her well-proportioned body emitted a captivating aura. She had a curvaceous figure that exuded a seductive charm.

Due to her injuries, she appeared somewhat weakened at the moment, but she still emanated a strong protective instinct.

Seeing that they couldn't avoid being noticed by Lin Mo as they approached, he temporarily withdrew Nine Lives and Zhao Yun, keeping some of his techniques ready just in case.

In no time, the woman rushed over, and upon seeing Lin Mo, she excitedly shouted, "Lin Mo... it's you! And Mu Ruo Die Senior Sister too! This is amazing!"

"Who are you?" Lin Mo asked with a hint of confusion. Although he felt a sense of familiarity, he couldn't recall her identity.

"I'm Yang Xi," she exclaimed in excitement. "I helped you with the admission procedures back then. Don't you remember? We met at the Azure Dragon Hall, and you even gave me some guidance."

"Oh... I remember now," Lin Mo suddenly recalled. When he entered the Azure Dragon Ancient Courtyard, Yang Xi had assisted him with the admission process. He vaguely remembered that someone had been pressuring Yang Xi at the time, but since she didn't seek his help afterward, he had gradually forgotten about it.

He didn't expect to encounter her here. However, he couldn't help but notice that the girl who had assisted him with the admission process seemed to have developed a much better figure since then.

"Could she have had a growth spurt?" Lin Mo wondered internally.

"I didn't know that Senior Sister Mu Ruo Die was in the midst of a breakthrough. I'm sorry..." Yang Xi realized her mistake upon seeing the person who was breaking through. During a breakthrough, one should not be disturbed.

"It's fine. Since we're fellow disciples, I naturally won't stand by and do nothing," Lin Mo said, waving his hand.

"Kid, I advise you not to meddle too much," one of the men warned.

"Yeah, you should be aware of your current situation. If you dare to help him, we won't hesitate to kill you too, including that woman."

"Hmph, this breakthrough is causing such a commotion. If it gets disrupted now, even a powerful expert would become useless."

The group of men looked at the situation and made their intentions clear.

They could tell that Lin Mo's strength might not be lacking, but he seemed to have reservations. After all, they had more people, and if they sent a couple of them to disturb Mu Ruo Die's breakthrough, it was entirely feasible.

However, when they expected Lin Mo to back down, he calmly replied, "I wasn't planning to interfere, but... you've disturbed my wife's breakthrough."

"So... you should blame yourselves for what comes next."

"Find death!"

"Toasting before the feast!"

"Ah Hu, Liu Chuan, attack from both sides. We'll hold this kid back while you go after that woman."

Their leader angrily ordered.

Boom!

As soon as the leader's voice fell, all five of them instantly unleashed their cultivation bases. Three of them targeted Lin Mo, while the other two split up and attacked Mu Ruo Die, who was in the midst of her breakthrough.

Their movements were swift and efficient, clearly indicating that they were experienced.

Although their strength was not weak, with two at the Third Level of the Myriad Elephant Realm and three at the Second Level, they still couldn't be considered a match for Lin Mo. Lin Mo, however, wasn't an ordinary martial artist. He coldly harrumphed and charged directly at the three attackers, unleashing his formidable power. Simultaneously, his immense spiritual power surged.

"You intend to harm my wife? Then don't blame me."

Bang!

Lin Mo delivered a series of punches, and his overwhelming power erupted, causing his attackers to retreat in defeat.

"How can he be so strong?" The leader, who was sent flying, looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. When Lin Mo unleashed his full strength, his cultivation level was only on par with theirs. How could he be so formidable in battle?

"Quick, retreat!"

The leader hastily shouted, and the heavily wounded group of five immediately scattered in different directions. However, Lin Mo wasn't about to let them escape so easily. His spiritual power transformed into five sharp spikes, targeting the heart areas of each of the five men.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

After several muffled sounds, the five men fell to the ground, defeated and unwilling to accept their fate.

Watching from the sidelines, Yang Xi felt a mix of emotions. She had admired Lin Mo for his actions, but she also sensed something peculiar about him.

"Lin Mo, I can't help but feel that this woman is not quite normal," Nine Lives said within the Emperor Spirit Space.

"What do you mean?" Lin Mo asked, puzzled.

"I don't know, it's just a gut feeling. I can't say for sure, but I have this strange sense of unease about her," Nine Lives replied.

"Well, I'll keep an eye on her," Lin Mo responded.

"Lin Mo, you're really amazing!" Yang Xi suddenly changed her demeanor, looking at Lin Mo with admiration and infatuation.

"They weren't very strong," Lin Mo replied casually, not paying too much attention to her praise.

"I know you don't want it, but this is a Saint's Cup I acquired through theft. They were trying to kill me for it," Yang Xi said as she took out a green cup that emitted a faint radiance.

"It's a quasi-heavenly-grade spirit treasure, and while it might not mean much to you, it's a token of my appreciation," Yang Xi continued.

"I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't need it," Lin Mo declined politely.

"Alright," Yang Xi said with a hint of disappointment. "Can I stay with you for a while? My injuries haven't fully healed, and I'm afraid..."
