The fall jolted Su Mo awake.
The Cyan Cloud Sparrow quickly apologized, "Elder Su, I didn’t mean to drop you! The aura coming from your body is too strong. I couldn’t bear it."
It felt aggrieved.
’I’m a Tier Four Great Demon, for crying out loud. I can’t even withstand the pressure he unconsciously releases during his Cultivation. What a huge loss of face.’
’If word of this gets out, how can I ever show my face as a bird again?’
Su Mo said nonchalantly, "It’s fine. I’ve finished my Cultivation. Get up so we can be on our way."
The Cyan Cloud Sparrow nodded and resumed carrying Su Mo through the air.
Thankfully, Su Mo didn’t continue his Cultivation.
However, it could clearly sense that Su Mo was completely different than before. It was as if he had been reborn, becoming even more unfathomable.
Soon, they arrived at the territory of the Beast Taming Sect.
In the sky, Elder Gao said to Ouyang Teng, "Ouyang Sect Master, tell your men to get ready. This old man will be able to break the Array at any moment."
"Excellent!"
Ouyang Teng was overjoyed. He commanded the people behind him, "Men, completely seal off the Beast Taming Sect for me! Don’t let a single fly escape! I will personally lead the charge into the Beast Taming Sect."
"Yes, sir!"
Several hundred experts from the Celestial Moon Sect fanned out, surrounding the Beast Taming Sect so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak through.
Immediately after, Ouyang Teng extended a large hand and slammed it down hard on the Beast Taming Sect’s Mountain Protection Array.
BANG!
The originally sturdy Mountain Protection Array instantly crumbled and fell apart.
"Holy shit, they broke through!"
The expressions of everyone in the Beast Taming Sect changed drastically.
Elder Liu pleaded, "Sect Leader, we have to run, now! If we don’t go, it’ll really be too late!"
"Stay close to me!"
Chu Tianxiong said, his face dark.
However, just as he led his people out of the Beast Taming Sect, Ouyang Teng appeared before him and sneered, "Chu Tianxiong, where do you think you’re running?"
Chu Tianxiong’s expression changed dramatically.
Elder Liu stepped forward and said, "Ouyang Teng, don’t take things too far! Elder Su is already on his way here. If you dare to touch us, Elder Su won’t spare you!"
"Is that so?"
Ouyang Teng sneered. "Let me tell you the truth. Your Elder Su has already been killed by our Grand Elder. You can give up that hope right now."
In truth, he hadn’t received any news from the Han Sect about killing Su Mo. The reason he said this was to shatter the psychological defenses of the Beast Taming Sect members and drive them to despair.
Then, he would slowly kill them off, letting them die in despair.
This was what it meant to not just kill the body, but also the heart.
Sure enough, upon hearing that Su Mo had been killed, the expressions of the Beast Taming Sect members all dimmed, their eyes filling with despair.
Even the Ancient Giant Crocodile was no exception.
Chu Tianxiong snapped, "Don’t believe him! I’ve already spoken with Elder Su! Elder Su is still alive and on his way to save us!"
"Sect Leader, please stop deceiving us."
"Yeah, the more hope you give us, the greater our disappointment will be in the end."
"Rather than be killed in despair, it’s better to just die here and now. Get it over with."
Everyone from the Beast Taming Sect hung their heads, unable to muster even a shred of morale.
The Ancient Giant Crocodile sighed. "It’s over. We’re completely finished this time. You, the one called Ouyang Teng, when you kill me in a moment, please make it quick."
After speaking, the Ancient Giant Crocodile stuck its neck out.
"Hmm..."
Just then, a familiar voice rang out, mocking, "Old Croc, don’t you usually love to be a coward who hides in his shell? Why are you sticking your neck out now? Aren’t you afraid of losing your head?"
"It’s still better than being skinned alive! Cyan Cloud Sparrow, stop mocking me. It’ll be your turn soon enough. I’ll go on ahead and wait for you in the Underworld."
The Ancient Giant Crocodile said despairingly, but it quickly realized something was wrong. Its eyes widened. "You... why are you here?"
The Cyan Cloud Sparrow chuckled. "I came with Elder Su."
"What? Elder Su is here too? Really?"
The Ancient Giant Crocodile’s face was filled with joyous surprise.
The others were also astonished.
They looked up and, sure enough, saw Su Mo on the Cyan Cloud Sparrow’s back.
"Elder Su! It really is Elder Su!"
"Elder Su is alive!"
"Haha, we’re saved!"
Everyone from the Beast Taming Sect grew ecstatic.
THUD!
Su Mo leaped down from the Cyan Cloud Sparrow and landed in front of Chu Tianxiong. "My apologies, Sect Leader Chu. I’ve made you wait."
"Not at all!"
Chu Tianxiong hurriedly returned the courtesy, his body trembling with excitement.
The Cyan Cloud Sparrow landed and came up to the Ancient Giant Crocodile. "Hey, Old Croc, how long are you planning to keep your neck stretched out?"
"My mistake. I’ll pull it right back in."
The Ancient Giant Crocodile said with an awkward laugh.
Su Mo looked up at the people in the sky and said, "I presume those are the people from the Celestial Moon Sect?"
"That’s them!"
Chu Tianxiong pointed at Ouyang Teng. "He is the Sect Leader of the Celestial Moon Sect, Ouyang Cheng’s father. He’s at the Martial Monarch Great Perfection Realm."
’Martial Monarch Great Perfection?’
Su Mo stared at Ouyang Teng with great interest.
Ouyang Teng was stronger than anyone he had ever met.
Ouyang Teng also stared intently at Su Mo, feeling a sudden sense of unease.
He didn’t know why, but the moment he saw Su Mo, he felt a flicker of fear. It was a primal, bodily instinct.
"Elder Li, what do you see?"
Out of caution, Ouyang Teng didn’t attack immediately. Instead, he whispered to Elder Li beside him.
"One moment, Sect Leader!"
Elder Li infused Spiritual Qi into his eyes, which immediately turned a brilliant aquamarine.
This was a Pupil Technique that could see through an opponent’s true details.
However, the next second, Elder Li froze.
No matter how he activated his Pupil Technique, Su Mo remained Su Mo. His Realm was stable at Samurai Great Perfection, without the slightest change.
And yet, the feeling Su Mo gave him was one of extreme danger.
Elder Li lowered his voice. "Sect Leader, perhaps we should leave first. I really can’t see through him."
"Leave?"
Ouyang Teng hesitated.
His intuition told him that Su Mo was no simple character. Retreating now could save his life.
But if he just left like this, how would others view his Celestial Moon Sect in the future?
They would think he was a pushover.
Just as Ouyang Teng was hesitating, Su Mo spoke. "I’ll give you one chance. Kneel and apologize to Sect Leader Chu, and compensate the Beast Taming Sect for the loss of their Mountain Protection Array."
"What? You’re telling me to kneel?"
Ouyang Teng, who had just been thinking of retreating, was now filled with rage.
He could not tolerate such humiliation.
He was a dignified expert at Martial Monarch Great Perfection! On what grounds should he kneel to Chu Tianxiong and even compensate the Beast Taming Sect for their losses?
"So, you’re refusing?"
Su Mo’s eyes turned ice-cold.
Ouyang Teng said defiantly, "That’s right! I refuse! What can you do to me?"
He refused to believe that Su Mo was really as strong as the legends said.
But the next second...
SWISH!
Ouyang Teng’s head flew straight off his neck.
Su Mo said indifferently, "I gave you a chance to apologize, but you didn’t take it. Oh well. I had no choice but to kill you."
