Chapter 576 Sudden Battle
The Ancestor of the Mo Clan was at first bewildered by the scene before him. The moment he opened his eyes he saw his descendants on the floor unable to stand, and an unknown man looking at him with a vicious smile on his face.
"Who are you, and what have you've done to my descendants?"
"I'll get straight to the point, I'm Ren and I've come here to challenge you to battle." Ren pointed at the Ancestor whose anger was getting worse by the second.
"You dare barge into my clan, harm my descendants, and have the audacity to challenge me?! Are you seeking your demise?"
"Heh, with your level I don't think you're able to bring me my demise."
Seeing how confident Ren was, the Ancestor of the Mo Clan use his spiritual sense to see what realm Ren was in, but to his surprise, he found out that Ren was just a mortal. Still, there was something weird going on with Ren, he wasn't sure what it was.
The Ancestor of the Mo Clan didn't notice that the spiritual Qi in the surrounding area was no longer gathering around him but towards Ren. Since they were so close to each other and the Qi was abundant he was unable to see what was happening.
"You're just a mortal man, how did you do this to my descendants? Did you poison them?"
"I'll answer all your questions if you defeat me in battle."
When Mo Han heard what Ren said, he wanted to say something to stop the misunderstanding but before he could open his mouth the pressure he felt intensified. Ren had noticed what Mo Han was about to do and stopped him.
'You guys better sleep, for now, I don't want you ruining this for me.' Ren then used a mental attack making Mo Han and the Four Elders faint. When the Ancestor of the Mo Clan saw that his five descendants suddenly fainting he was enraged.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" The Ancestor of the Mo Clan roared his Qi and blood rapidly circulated in his body. The Ancestor of the Mo Clan then took out a saber from what looked like his ring. When Ren saw this he was quite intrigued.
'Is that ring similar to the item box Sora, and Hayate uses.' As Ren was curiously eyeing the storage ring, the Ancestor of the Mo Clan pointed his saber at Ren.
"Speak, mortal, or else I'll slice off your limbs, you won't need those to speak."
The killing intent of the Ancestor of the Mo Clan filled each word he spoke. Ren then started cracking his knuckles as the smile on his face became even more vicious-looking than before.
"Heh, you can come and try."
Ren made a mocking gesture to come at him. No longer able to hold it in, the Ancestor of the Mo Clan, swung his saber. The distance between him and Ren was about twenty meters normally swinging his saber at Ren from such a distance would do nothing, but this was different. Ren felt something heavy hit him on the shoulders.
Ren was already expecting such a thing to happen, but he wasn't expecting the attack to be so powerful. If he hadn't adjusted his stance Ren would've already knelt on the ground.
Ren wasn't the only one surprised, even the Ancestor of the Mo Clan was rather shocked. He was planning to cut off Ren's right arm with that slash of his but it ultimately did nothing.
'How is the body of this mortal so strong?... It doesn't matter let's see how long his body can last. If one slash isn't enough then I'll attack with ten, if ten isn't enough I'll attack with a hundred.'
The Ancestor of the Mo Clan once again raised his saber and started making slashing movements. This time Ren was prepared for it, but still didn't evade nor guarded he simply strengthened his stance.
The wave of saber slashes came at him like a storm each slash aimed at his limbs. Yet the result of the attack was the same as before.
"Is that it, is that all you got? It seems that I won't even need to do anything for you to lose."
Ren shrugged his shoulders as he spoke. Seeing him being provoked so much the Ancestor of the Mo Clan was now angered to his limit. He stood up from his spot and the aura from his body rose.
"You should've obediently answered my questions, now there is no turning back. Let's see if you're able to keep that smug smile of yours after you received my [Mad Sabre Consecutive slashes]."
The Ancestor of the Mo Clan stepped forward and appeared a meter away from Ren, and then faster than the eye could blink, the Ancestor of the Mo Clan initiated his technique. It was a blinding torrent of saber slashes that normal people wouldn't even be able to see the blurs.
At the beginning of the technique, the strength of the slashes was the same as the previous attacks in which Ren did not bother to defend himself, but then each attack suddenly increased in speed and strength. Ren was finally forced to defend himself by blocking the saber attacks with the palm of his hands.
As the attack kept on going not only the speed and strength of the attack was increasing, but even the sharpness of the saber was also increasing. At some point, the strength and speed were already at a level that could actually harm Ren.
From a physical standpoint, the overall speed and strength of the Ancestor of the Mo Clan even after using that technique were beneath the New God Ren fought, but his techniques were leagues above the New God Khalos. After a while, Ren started getting little nicks here and there and had some blood flowing out of him. This just made Ren excited as the smile on his face grew wider and wider.
On the other hand, the Ancestor of the Mo Clan was surprised to see Ren able to last so long. It was at that moment, Ren suddenly stopped defending and started to counterattack.
