A savage, domineering force erupted from Ji Mo's thin body. The pressure made Ji Chun turn pale in an instant as if he was carrying a heavy mountain. His body shook and he almost knelt on the ground.
"This...this aura!" Ji Chun exclaimed and looked at Ji Mo in disbelief.
"Ninth-tier tempered body! No, even a ninth-tier tempered body doesn't hold such tremendous power Little Mo can't have broken through to the boundary of Body Tempering Achievement, can he? This enormity of this power is terrifying, since when did Little Mo have this kind of strength!?" At that moment, even Father Ji was shocked as he stared at his son with flickers of splendor in his eyes.
"Little Mo...is at which boundary?" Shen Shuyi gaped at Ji Mo in surprise and confusion.
She was surprised that Ji Mo had such tremendous power in his body, and the confusion lay in the fact that his power was terrifyingly massive. It was even more significant than that of a person with a ninth-tier tempered body. In fact, it could not even be measured.
"Haha, Little Brother has really grown a lot in these 2 years!" said Ji Lin'er with a smile in her eyes and excitement blooming in her cheeks.
In comparison, Ji Liangdong was as pale as a ghost and his lips were trembling.
Boom!
The sound of thunder rolled within Ji Mo's body as if a Celestial Devil would jump out of his body at any time. Ji Chun could not take the suppressing force, so he staggered backward.
Ji Mo snickered as he took a step forward. This single step completely cracked the marble beneath his foot and turned into a pile of powder. He took three steps forward with tremendous power in each step, crushing the stone slab. The Celestial Devil Power was suppressing Ji Chun.
"Hmm…" Ji Chun grunted, and a faint trace of blood could be seen at the corner of his mouth.
Even before making a move, he was internally injured by the pressure that Ji Mo's body emitted, which was enough to prove how powerful the force was.
"You...this chap!" Ji Chun looked up in dissatisfaction and glared at Ji Mo angrily.
Slap!
However, before he could finish, Ji Mo swung a palm at him which landed heavily on his face. Ji Chun spun around three times, and a few of his teeth fell out with a pop.
"I've said the same thing to Ji Shan before and I'll say it to you again. I'm your older cousin brother, and if you're going to talk to me, you need to call me 'older brother'. Is that clear!?" Ji Mo roared.
"You…"
Slap!
Ji Mo smacked him again. This time, Ji Chun fell straight to the ground with that slap. Both his cheeks were swollen and a few of his teeth fell out with a pop again.
"Every rule mustn't be broken. In the Ji family, you must respect your brothers. I'll teach you that lesson now." Ji Mo grinned. In front of the entire family and his second uncle Ji Liangdong, he stomped on Ji Chun savagely.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Cries echoed throughout the main hall as Ji Mo stomped on Ji Chung. He rolled and his hair was a mess.
Ji Mo was exactly like a crazy little tiger. Whenever he bared his teeth, the provocative wold cub would only be tortured brutally by him without a chance to retaliate. Once he attacked, he would not stop so easily. Of course, Ji Mo also showed mercy. If he had truly stomped on him with all of his strength, Ji Chun's physique would not have been able to bear it.
It was a clamorous scene in the main hall. Ji Chun was beaten until he was rolling and wailing on the ground. No one thought that the usually good-tempered and timid Third Young Master's strikes could be so aggressive.
The expression of his surrounding relatives changed.
"Ji Mo, enough! Do you want to kill him?" Ji Liangdong could not watch anymore. How could he accept the fact that Ji Mo was teaching his son a lesson in front of him? That felt as though he was the one being slapped.
Tsss!
Ji Lin'er moved and stood in front of Ji Liangdong to block him and laughed. "Second Uncle, what are you trying to do? Little Mo is right. The Ji family has rules, and that is to respect your brothers. Little Mo is Ji Chun's older cousin brother, but Ji Chun has been continuously provoking and ridiculing him. This goes against the rules of the clan, so let Little Mo teach him what the rules of the Ji family are."
"You…" Ji Liangdong's face was extremely red. Although he knew that she was intentional, he could not say anything.
Although Ji Liangdong was Ji Lin'er's second uncle, Ji Lin'er was a Qi Plundering Boundary cultivator and the inner disciple of Tiandi Sword Cave, so he would not dare to offend Ji Lin'er.
In desperation, Ji Liangdong could only look to Father Ji for help as he pleaded, "Big Brother, Chun knows that he's wrong. If he continues to be beaten like this, he'll die. I'll teach him the family rules after this and he won't make any mistakes anymore. Big Brother, please tell Third Young Master to stop."
At that point, even Ji Liangdong addressed Ji Mo differently.
Father Ji soon recollected himself from his shock. Looking at his son, he could not believe that his weakest son had become so powerful and unyielding.
Finally, Father Ji spoke, "Little Mo, please stop. Don't hit him anymore." He was the leader of the family and would not actually let Ji Mo escalate matters.
Upon hearing his father's words, Ji Mo stopped. In front of so many people, he would still listen to his father. However, he still kicked Ji Chun viciously and shouted, "Ji Chun, call me Elder Brother!"
"Elder Brother, Elder Brother Mo, I know my mistakes. Don't hit me...d-don't hit me anymore," Ji Chun collapsed and twitched on the ground as he mumbled.
"I can't hear you. Speak louder," Ji Mo demanded.
"Elder Brother Mo, I know I'm wrong. Don't hit me anymore," Ji Chun buried his head and croaked so loudly that even Ji Mo, who was standing near him, found it piercing.
"Are you crazy for shouting so loud?" Ji Mo kicked him again before walking away.
Ji Liangdong ran over quickly and helped his son up. Ji Chun's footsteps were unstable and he could not stand on his own. Although Ji Mo showed him mercy, the lesson was a harsh one.
Father Ji looked intensely at his son with flickering eyes and said, "Little Mo, what cultivation base are you at now?"
This time around, his tone was even more serious.
Mother Ji, Shen Shuyi, also looked at her son with gravity
Ji Mo said, "Actually, Father, I'm breaking through to the Qi Plundering Boundary. I came home this time because soon, I'll be entering the inner sect of Tianshan Sword Sect. By then, I won't get to come back for 4 to 5 years. So, I came back this time to say goodbye to all of you."
"You're allowed to enter the inner sect?" Father Ji and Mother Ji revealed delight on their faces.
