At the entrance of the Xiao Family residence.
At that moment, the Black Demon Wolf and the Striped Demon Tiger were lounging lazily in front of the gate, greedily absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi.
The Striped Demon Tiger said confidently, "Old Wolf, I have a feeling it won’t be long before I break through to Tier Five."
"Of course," the Black Demon Wolf said with a smile. "Don’t forget, we’re doing our Cultivation in a Holy Land Immortal Realm now."
Compared to Qu Luo’s Tomb, the Spiritual Qi in the Xiao Alliance Sacred Land was simply far too abundant. It was enough to increase their Cultivation speed by dozens of times.
The two beasts were more and more certain they had followed the right person.
Just then, the Heaven-Suppressing King approached with his men.
The Striped Demon Tiger stood up and asked, "Excuse me, Your Excellency, which empire’s Emperor are you? Are you also here to pay your respects to Elder Su?"
Too many people had come today.
All of them were important figures.
Seeing that the Heaven-Suppressing King’s Realm was not weak and that he possessed the innate aura of a sovereign, the Striped Demon Tiger naturally assumed he was some empire’s Emperor who had come to visit Su Mo.
After all, more than ten emperors of various empires had come to visit Su Mo this time.
As for Princes and the like, they were too numerous to count.
None of them were even worth mentioning.
"Emperor?"
The Heaven-Suppressing King’s face lit up with delight.
’I really do have the talent to be an Emperor!’ he thought. ’Even these two gatekeeping Demon Beasts can see it and have recognized my status as Emperor.’
’Once I officially ascend the throne, I’ll look the part even more.’
The Heaven-Suppressing King said proudly, "That’s right. We are the Emperor. However, We have not come to see Su Mo. We are here to kill him."
"What? You’re here to kill Elder Su?"
The Striped Demon Tiger roared furiously, "Are you fucking looking for trouble? Say that again if you have the guts! This tiger will rip you to shreds, you son of a bitch!"
With that, the Striped Demon Tiger unleashed the aura of a Half-Step Martial Monarch Level Demon Beast.
The Black Demon Wolf did the same.
The two Demon Beasts glared ferociously at the Heaven-Suppressing King, looking as if they wanted to swallow the brute whole.
"Hm? Two Half-Step Martial Monarch Level Demon Beasts!"
The Heaven-Suppressing King was stunned.
’It seems Su Mo has some ability after all,’ he mused. ’Otherwise, he couldn’t have subdued two such powerful Demon Beasts to act as his gatekeepers.’
However, they were nothing in his eyes.
The Heaven-Suppressing King said with cold arrogance, "In consideration of your not-so-weak Realms, We have decided to take you both as Our Demon Pets. Kneel and kowtow to Us."
"Fuck you!"
"You dare come to Elder Su’s home and cause trouble? And you want us to kneel and kowtow to you? You must be fucking insane!"
The Striped Demon Tiger and the Black Demon Wolf roared in fury.
BAM!
Just as they were about to erupt, a massive hand slammed down, pinning the two beasts to the ground.
"Holy shit, a Martial Monarch!" the Striped Demon Tiger exclaimed in shock.
The Black Demon Wolf said gravely, "He’s no ordinary Martial Monarch. He’s a Late Stage Martial Monarch! We must report to Elder Su immediately."
Without looking back, the two beasts bolted into the main hall of the Xiao Family residence.
Su Mo chided them, "Why aren’t you two guarding the gate properly? What’s with all this panic? Have you no decorum?"
"It’s not that, Elder Su! Someone forced their way in, and we couldn’t stop them," the Black Demon Wolf explained.
The Striped Demon Tiger added, "Right! I think I just saw the Desolate Old Monster. He and Huang Yunan were hiding in a cage."
"Huh?"
Su Mo was completely baffled by what they were saying.
’Why on earth would the Desolate Old Monster be hiding in a cage?’ he wondered.
’And with his granddaughter, no less.’
Chu Tianxiong said in a low voice, "It looks like something has happened to the Desolate Old Monster. The only one who could defeat him is the Heaven-Suppressing King."
"The Heaven-Suppressing King?"
Su Mo’s anger flared in an instant.
He still hadn’t settled the score with the Heaven-Suppressing King for sending men from the Heaven-Suppressing Royal Mansion to help the Zhou Family try to kill him, and now the son of a bitch had the audacity to show up at his doorstep.
Su Mo stood up and said, "Everyone, I didn’t want to kill anyone during the celebration, but I’m afraid this won’t end peacefully today."
With that, Su Mo strode out into the courtyard.
The others all followed him out.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Su Mo saw the Heaven-Suppressing King leading three thousand Black Armored Soldiers, along with the Desolate Old Monster and Huang Yunan imprisoned in a cage.
And, of course, the murderous-looking Heaven-Suppressing King himself.
Su Mo recognized him at a glance.
Seeing the scene before them, Daoist Xuanqing sighed. "No wonder the Desolate Old Monster was so late. It turns out he was captured by the Heaven-Suppressing King."
"Yes, we misjudged the Desolate Old Monster," Roger replied.
Seeing the crowd emerge from the main hall, the Heaven-Suppressing King’s face turned livid.
No wonder no one had attended his sacrificial ceremony to the heavens.
They were all hiding here.
The Heaven-Suppressing King roared in fury, "You bastards! You dare disrespect Us? We will annihilate you right now! Black Armored Soldiers, charge!"
"Wait!"
Su Mo stopped them. "You must be that bullshit Heaven-Suppressing King, right?"
"Insolent! How dare you insult His Majesty? Do you have a death wish?" the leader of the Black Armored Soldiers stepped forward and shouted.
"His Majesty?"
Su Mo looked completely confused.
’Wasn’t he the Heaven-Suppressing King? How did he become an Emperor?’
’I don’t get it.’
The leader of the Black Armored Soldiers declared proudly, "That’s right. Standing before you is the former Heaven-Suppressing King and the current Emperor, His Majesty! If you know what’s good for you, kneel and submit at once."
"Oh, so he was just enthroned. No wonder I’ve never heard of him," Su Mo said lazily. "Do me a favor and tell your ’His Majesty’ that I don’t feel like killing anyone today. Tell him to get the hell out of my sight."
It was bad luck to shed blood during a celebration.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Su Mo really didn’t want to kill anyone today.
Unless, of course, the other party was creatively looking for a way to die.
"What? You told His Majesty to get lost? Good. Very good. In that case, don’t even think about leaving here alive. I will snap your neck right now and send you to an early grave!"
As he spoke, the leader of the Black Armored Soldiers reached out to grab Su Mo.
BAM!
But his hand was caught by Su Mo.
"Brat, you dare to fight back?" the leader of the Black Armored Soldiers bellowed. "Let me go immediately, or I’ll tear you to pieces and execute your entire clan!"
"Did you forget to brush your teeth this morning? Your breath stinks."
Su Mo gave a sudden, hard pull and ripped the Black Armored Soldier leader’s arm clean off.
RRRIP!
Blood spurted wildly from the Black Armored Soldier’s shoulder.
"You..."
The Black Armored Soldier clutched his bleeding shoulder, his face a mask of horror.
He never imagined Su Mo would actually dare to attack.
This was right in front of His Majesty, the Heaven-Suppressing King!
’Could it be that Su Mo doesn’t even have any regard for His Majesty, the Heaven-Suppressing King?’
’The audacity!’
BAM!
Su Mo slapped the leader of the Black Armored Soldiers into a bloody mist and cursed, "What a fucking idiot. I already said I didn’t want to kill anyone today, but you just had to fucking force my hand."
"Hm?"
Seeing the leader of the Black Armored Soldiers slapped to death by Su Mo, the Heaven-Suppressing King’s eyes twitched.
He hadn’t expected Su Mo to actually have some skill, killing the leader of the Black Armored Soldiers, a cultivator at the Grandmaster Perfection Realm, with a single palm strike.
’A hero emerges from the young, indeed.’
’What a pity, though.’
The Heaven-Suppressing King asked indifferently, "You can kill Our general, but can you withstand Our three thousand Black Armored Cavalry?"
"Are you talking about that bunch of good-for-nothings standing behind you?" Su Mo asked, pointing to the Black Armor Army.
"Good-for-nothings?"
The Heaven-Suppressing King said proudly, "Heh. Our three thousand Black Armored Cavalry are endlessly powerful, practically invincible. They can trample you into paste. You’ll pay dearly for underestimating them."
"Is that so?"
Su Mo murmured, but instead of rushing to attack the Black Armor Army, he turned and bolted.
