Chapter 1179: Chapter 740: Beyond the Law

“Detected that the host is undergoing a spiritual attack; Invincible Golden Body skill activated. For one minute, the host is immune to all spiritual-level attacks.”

The voice from the system echoed in the mind. At this moment, Chu Jie–who had previously been utterly enchanted by the young Miss Xue’s, Qing Guo Qing Cheng, stunning beauty–immediately recovered his senses, and the infatuated look in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a clear light.

When he looked at the woman before him again, she was still ravishingly beautiful, but she no longer held the bewitching allure that had captivated him before.

It was only now that Chu Mo forcefully remembered that, not long ago in the restaurant, her casually spoken words had almost dragged him into a deep mental trance from which he could not extricate himself. It was the Sharira in his hand that had restored his clarity then. This time, not only had the woman before him displayed her stunning Qing Guo Qing Cheng beauty, but her strength had also risen a level. When she unleashed her charm ability again, Chu Mo had been powerless to resist and was ensnared once more. Had the system’s skill not activated, he might have been completely at her mercy.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Mo realized that everyone around him, including Zhan Bingxue and the Li family’s young master Li Hongda, had a dull look on their faces, clearly having fallen prey to Xue Yuluo’s charm ability, their souls no longer possessing the capacity for thought and utterly at the mercy of another.

At this moment, within the entire hall, the only ones who could maintain their composure were Chu Mo, Xue Yuluo, and the Half-step Celestial God Tianya.

As Chu Mo regained his composure, a ripple finally emerged in the woman’s pure and flawless eyes. She sighed softly, and a faint hint of disappointment and regret appeared on her enchanting visage. Then, as she blinked lightly again, the charm dissipated, and everyone who had been lost in confusion in the hall returned to normal.

Chu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that the Xue Yuluo before him, although she had advanced to become a Great Grandmaster, was still as insignificant as an ant in his presence. Yet, what truly caused Chu Mo alarm was the refined gentleman across from him.

Even though Chu Mo had activated the system’s skill and was absolutely invincible for this minute, at this moment, he still felt a palpable threat in his heart–a threat so potent it sent a chill down his spine.

It should be noted that whether facing the full strength of Grandmaster Zhi Shang or the Half-step Celestial God Tianya before, Chu Mo had always been in an overwhelming position, with his opponents utterly unable to resist. However, despite the refined gentleman not making a move, merely standing there nonchalantly, Chu Mo felt a dangerous instinct from the depths of his soul.

His gaze remained fixed on the Xue family’s old master, totally indifferent to the young lady of the Xue family.

And now, as a newly advanced Great Grandmaster, Xue Yuluo, upon seeing that Chu Mo did not even spare her a glance, was unable to suppress the anger in her heart despite her extensive cultivation. As her eyes narrowed slightly, the next moment, the young mistress of the Xue family suddenly flicked her sleeve, and a dagger shining bright and icy white appeared in her palm.

As Xue Yuluo instantly mobilized all the Spiritual Energy in her body, the terrifying Innate True Qi, vast like a lake, concentrated into the dagger in her hand, which radiated a fierce glow. She then thrust it with all her might toward Chu Mo’s heart.

The dagger in Xue Yuluo’s hand was no ordinary weapon, but a treasure forged from a meteorite from outer space. The meteorite’s unique density and mass made it exceptional. Originally as large as a millstone, it had been forged into a petite dagger, a testament to its extraordinary hardness.

An ordinary weapon wielded by a Great Grandmaster would easily snap, whereas a weapon forged with special techniques could withstand the Spiritual Energy infused by a middle-rank Great Grandmaster. But even the mightiest of weapons would likely disintegrate under the full force of Spiritual Energy from an upper-rank Great Grandmaster. Even the most formidable weapons ranked in the top few on the weapon list could turn to ash instantly under the frenzied infusion of Spiritual Power from an upper-rank Great Grandmaster.

At this moment, as an upper-rank Great Grandmaster, even though Xue Yuluo had recently advanced and her Spiritual Energy wasn’t stable and rich yet, she was still a formidable Great Grandmaster. The Spiritual Energy in her body was vast like a lake, immense and pure. An ordinary weapon would definitely fail to bear her torrential Spiritual Energy, but the dagger in her hand, forged from a meteorite, was utterly different. Far more durable than the top-ranked weapon, the Sword of the Assassin King, the dagger withstood all of Xue Yuluo’s Spiritual Energy.

Xue Yuluo was now going all-in with her attack, draining her body’s entire reservoir of Spiritual Power. Her internal reserves of Spiritual Power were now depleted, and she could be defeated even by a minor Half-step Grandmaster. However, her audacious move was driven by her faith in the refined gentleman behind her. Xue Yuluo knew that even if her attack failed and she had no strength left to fight again, the old master behind her would ensure her safety, which is why she dared to act so recklessly.
