Brimming with murderous intent, the two men walked up and blocked Su Mo’s path.
"Hey, kid. Stop right there."
The fatty snapped, his face full of rage.
Su Mo looked at the fatty in confusion. "Who are you? Why are you shouting at me?"
He hated it when people yelled and screamed at him.
It made him feel like he owed them money.
’Hm?’
’This kid is pretending not to know us.’
The fatty frowned and ordered, "Skinny, go tell him who we are. Tell him to watch his attitude."
"Right!"
Skinny walked up to Su Mo and said haughtily, "We’re Ren Fan’s brothers, you reckless fool. Have you already forgotten how you offended Young Master Ren Fan?"
"Heh heh, it would be more fitting to call you two Ren Fan’s lackeys."
Su Mo said with a smile.
If they hadn’t reminded him, he would have forgotten who they were.
After all, he couldn’t possibly remember every single nobody he came across.
"What? You dare call us lackeys?"
The two of them stared at Su Mo furiously.
’It was one thing for you to be so damn arrogant when Mu Qing and Man Mountain were around. But now that they’re gone, you still dare act this way?’
’Who gave you the balls?’
The fatty roared, "Kid, you’re the type who won’t cry until you see your own coffin, aren’t you? Fine! I’ll kill you right now, chop off your head, and present it to Young Master Ren Fan to use as a chamber pot!"
"Fatty, don’t kill him just yet."
Skinny stopped him.
The fatty said coldly, "Are you pleading for him? Hmph. Forget you—even if the Celestial King himself showed up, I’m still killing this guy today."
Skinny shook his head. "Fatty, you misunderstood. I just think killing him like this is letting him off too easy. We should torture him to death slowly, to vent Young Master Ren Fan’s frustration."
"How do you want to torture him?"
The fatty asked.
Skinny thought for a moment. "First, we’ll cripple him. Then we’ll throw him into a latrine pit and let the stench suffocate him to death."
"Holy shit, how did you even think of something so vicious?"
The fatty said in surprise.
Skinny pursed his lips. "Just say whether you agree or not."
The fatty said, "Of course I agree. But when we bury him, we have to leave his head sticking out. Otherwise, Young Master Ren Fan will complain that it stinks."
"Aren’t all chamber pots stinky?"
Skinny gave a wicked smile.
Having settled on a plan, the fatty sneered at Su Mo. "Kid, you heard all that, didn’t you? Scared?"
"It’s a pretty good idea."
Su Mo nodded.
Seeing Su Mo’s casual attitude, the fatty and Skinny both frowned.
’Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t he be furious?’
’Why does he look so unbothered?’
’Could it be... this guy’s an idiot?’
Su Mo said flatly, "Go on, dig a pit. Then fetch some shit and piss."
Hearing this, the two were instantly overjoyed.
’This guy really is an idiot.’
’He’s actually asking us to dig his pit for him.’
"HAHAHA!"
The two of them laughed with excitement.
Just then, two respectful voices suddenly spoke from behind them. "Yes, my Lord. We will go dig the pit and fetch the shit and piss at once."
’Huh?’
’Someone’s behind us?’
The two turned in unison to look behind them, and in an instant, the hairs on their bodies stood on end.
They saw a White Elephant staring deathly at them.
Behind the White Elephant were all sorts of other Demon Beasts, all staring at them coldly, as if they were already dead.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
At that moment, hordes of Demon Beasts emerged from the cave dwelling behind Su Mo, surrounding the area in the blink of an eye.
Skinny asked, trembling, "Fatty, how many Demon Beasts do you think are here?"
"Probably over ten thousand!"
The fatty replied, his heart trembling with fear.
"Over ten thousand..."
Skinny was so scared he almost fainted.
’This is a grand assembly of Demon Beasts.’
Then, a scene that made their jaws drop unfolded: all ten thousand-plus Demon Beasts knelt before Su Mo in unison.
"We greet you, Lord!"
Tens of thousands of Demon Beasts shouted in unison.
The sound shook the heavens.
「Thousands of miles away」
Bai Luoxue said in alarm, "Did you two hear that? It sounds like someone is receiving the obeisance of the Demon Beasts."
"We heard it!"
Wang Xuan and the green-robed young woman nodded in unison.
Bai Luoxue said gravely, "It seems a Great Demon has appeared in the Holy Spirit Secret Realm and brought all the Demon Beasts under its command."
"This is big trouble!"
Wang Xuan’s face turned ashen.
If this Great Demon were to lead the tens of thousands of Demon Beasts from the Holy Spirit Secret Realm to attack the Human Race, it would trigger a terrifying demon tide. Not only would Holy Spirit Manor be in peril, but the entire Northern Profound Domain would be threatened.
At that point, lives would be devastated, and the very land would shatter.
Not far from them, a man from Hua Celestial Sect said, his face filled with horror, "Could it be... that Ancient Fierce Beast is about to emerge?"
"An Ancient Fierce Beast? This is not good! I must inform the Manor Master at once. Holy Spirit Manor is facing an imminent catastrophe."
Xiao Fan immediately crushed a Sound Transmission Talisman.
「Before the cave」
Su Mo stared at the Ink Flood Dragon and demanded, "What the hell are you doing?"
"Paying our respects to you?"
The Ink Flood Dragon said, completely baffled.
Su Mo said angrily, "If you’re paying respects, then pay respects. Why the hell did you have to shout so loudly?"
"It’s more impressive that way!"
The Ink Flood Dragon laughed foolishly.
Su Mo retorted, "Impressive my ass! If someone heard that, they might think I’m some ancient Great Demon. What am I supposed to do if they rally a mob to hunt me down?"
He wasn’t afraid of being hunted down, but he was afraid of trouble.
Being chased all over the mountains by hundreds of experts while also having to explain that he wasn’t a Great Demon... just thinking about it gave him a headache.
"This..."
The Ink Flood Dragon looked aggrieved.
It had wanted to give Su Mo a grand send-off, to put on a big show to display his prestige.
It never imagined its attempt to curry favor would backfire so spectacularly.
Not only was Su Mo not pleased, he had even reprimanded it harshly.
Su Mo waved his hand. "Forget it. Your heart was in the right place, you just messed up. I won’t blame you this time, but remember this lesson. There better not be a next time, or you’ll have me to answer to."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The Ink Flood Dragon wiped the cold sweat from its brow, finally sighing in relief internally.
It was truly afraid Su Mo would pin it to the ground and beat it senseless.
That would not have been good at all.
Thankfully, Su Mo didn’t hold it against it.
Even so, it was scared half to death, its back already drenched in cold sweat.
This scene completely stunned the fatty and Skinny.
’That’s a Tier Five Demon King!’
’Yet in front of Su Mo, it was like a lapdog, being scolded as if it were his grandson.’
THUD...
The two of them collapsed weakly onto the ground, so frightened they couldn’t even speak the words to beg for mercy.
They were scared stiff!
The Two-headed Black Lion stepped forward. "Elder Su, why don’t you leave these two to me?"
"You know them?"
Su Mo said, curious.
The Two-headed Black Lion nodded. "I captured these two before to mine for you, my lord. I didn’t kill them because I was afraid I might accidentally kill one of your companions. I never thought they’d have the gall to come looking for trouble with you."
Su Mo nodded.
He did indeed have a few companions in the Holy Spirit Secret Realm.
Su Mo said, "Haven’t you all been wanting a change of palate? I’ll leave these two for you. No need to dig a latrine pit to suffocate them. That’s too much trouble."
