"What did you say? ’Show off’?"
The corner of Patriarch Mu’s mouth twitched violently, his face filled with fury.
’A goddamn fight is about to start, and he wants to put on a show?’
’Doesn’t he see what’s happening?’
Barbarian Tyrant said earnestly, "My dear son, can’t you be a little more fucking reliable?"
"I am being reliable!"
Man Mountain said, "In any case, Elder Su told our people to fall back, so we should fall back. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe."
"This..."
Hesitation was written all over Barbarian Tyrant’s face.
Patriarch Mu said angrily, "Fine, we’ll fall back! If worst comes to worst, I just won’t play along with him anymore. It’s not like we’re the ones who will die, anyway."
With a wave of his hand, all the members of the Mu Family fell back.
Barbarian Tyrant and Patriarch Wu also ordered their people to fall back.
However, Su Mo was still not satisfied. He said to the Saint Spirit Manor Master, "Manor Master, have your people fall back as well."
"Are you sure?"
The Saint Spirit Manor Master’s brow was tightly furrowed.
They had stepped forward to help Su Mo, but now he was telling them all to retreat.
’Could it be that Su Mo plans to defeat the Ten Great Families all by himself?’
’That’s just wishful thinking.’
Su Mo nodded. "I’m sure. You and Fairy Jinghong should also stand back. I’m afraid I might strike too hard and accidentally kill you both."
"Huh?"
The Saint Spirit Manor Master looked completely stunned.
He was a Martial King Powerhouse.
Among everyone present, besides Su Mo’s mount, the Tier Five Demon King Cyan Cloud Sparrow, who could barely hold him back, who else could possibly harm him?
Fairy Jinghong scolded, "I admit that young people should be a bit daring, but this is not the time for games. You’d better let everyone attack with you."
"No need!"
Su Mo waved his hand dismissively and pointed at Ren De. "Trash like him? I could kill dozens of them with a single slap."
Fairy Jinghong was speechless.
’Those are the Ten Great Family Heads! Every single one of them is a major figure who can shake the Northern Profound Domain. How are they trash?’
’And he says he can kill dozens with a single slap.’
’He’s too arrogant!’
Ren De sneered, "This brat. People come out with good intentions to help him, and he tells them to fall back while spouting all sorts of arrogant nonsense. It’s almost enough to make me die of laughter."
"Isn’t this even better for us?"
Patriarch Lan Yi, who stood beside him, said with a smile.
For them, all that mattered was killing Su Mo to get revenge and seizing the Treasure he possessed.
As for Holy Spirit Manor, it was best not to offend them if they could avoid it, to prevent a life-and-death struggle.
Ren De said excitedly, "Everyone, let’s get ready to attack."
"Do we attack together, or...?"
"Of course we attack together! You think we should go easy on him?"
"Heh, to die at the hands of us Ten Great Family Heads... that brat can brag about this for a lifetime when he gets to the Underworld."
Everyone cracked their knuckles, eager for a fight.
Su Mo glanced at Ren De and the others. "Are you ready? I’m about to slap you all to death."
Ren De and the others were speechless.
’Is this kid an idiot?’
’Warning us before he attacks? Does he think he’s not going to die fast enough?’
But before they could snap out of it, Su Mo’s palm came slapping down.
"True Dragon Venerable Fist!"
"ROAR!"
A golden light erupted from Su Mo’s palm, transforming into a giant, golden Palm Seal that flew toward Ren De and the others, accompanied by the roar of a dragon.
"What?!"
Ren De and the others were all shocked and immediately channeled their power to defend themselves.
However, the moment their defenses touched the golden Palm Seal, they completely shattered.
BOOM!
As the golden Palm Seal slammed down, Ren De and the others were smashed directly into the ground, becoming ten piles of meat paste.
"Holy shit, he actually slapped the Ten Great Family Heads to death!"
The surrounding crowd was completely stunned by this scene.
They were all collectively dumbfounded.
Those were the Ten Great Family Heads! The weakest among them was a powerhouse at the Martial Monarch Perfection Level, and there were even several at Great Perfection.
And yet, with a single palm strike, they were gone.
All turned into meat paste.
Patriarch Mu’s eyelids twitched. "What... what level of power... is that?"
Man Mountain just smiled calmly.
He had long since anticipated this outcome.
SMACK!
Barbarian Tyrant slapped Man Mountain on the forehead and roared, "What the hell are you smiling for? Next time something like this happens, tell me earlier! You scared the fucking shit out of me!"
"I already told you! I said fall back, he’s about to show off."
Man Mountain said, aggrieved.
Wu Hao asked with a laugh, "Father, the backer I found for our family... is he powerful or what?"
Patriarch Wu took a deep breath. "Powerful? Unbelievably so!"
Today, he had finally witnessed what a true powerhouse was.
Fairy Jinghong wore a wry smile.
Just moments ago, she had looked down on Su Mo, calling him weak and vowing not to let others bully him.
In the end, Su Mo had taken everyone down with a single slap.
The face-slapping was deafening!
The Saint Spirit Manor Master stood rooted to the spot, trembling.
If that palm had landed on him, he would have been turned into meat paste as well.
Even though he was a Martial King Powerhouse.
Li Nan was drenched in a cold sweat.
He had nearly been scared to death.
Before, he had wanted to make a move on Su Mo, but the two Demon Kings had stopped him.
As for Hua Tianmen, Bai Luoxue, and Xiao Fan, they had long been scared speechless.
’We actually competed on the same stage as this monster, vying for a ranking in the Holy Spirit Competition?’
’That’s no different from courting death!’
Chen Ge said with lingering fear, "Thank god I didn’t try to get revenge on him. Otherwise, I would’ve been slapped to death. No, my entire family would have been slapped to death."
Too terrifying!
They couldn’t afford to provoke a being of this caliber in the slightest.
Su Mo said, "Manor Master, I’ll leave the rest of the Ten Great Families’ members to you. They’re too weak; I have no interest in them."
"Yes, yes, of course!"
The Saint Spirit Manor Master commanded, "All members of Holy Spirit Manor, hear my order! Kill everyone from the Ten Great Families! Don’t let a single one escape!"
SWOOSH!
All the powerhouses of Holy Spirit Manor charged out.
Man Mountain reminded his father, "Dad, hurry up and make your move! If Holy Spirit Manor kills everyone, we won’t get a chance to curry favor!"
"Charge!"
Barbarian Tyrant, Patriarch Wu, and Patriarch Mu all led their men and charged out.
In the end, even Fairy Jinghong made a move.
She wanted to curry favor, too!
KILL! KILL! KILL!
In just a few short minutes, all the people brought by the Ten Great Family Heads had been slaughtered, leaving the ground covered in corpses.
The Saint Spirit Manor Master came before Su Mo, panting. "Elder, they’ve all been killed."
"We of the Celestial Blade Sect killed five!"
"We of the Mu Family killed eight!"
"We of the Wu Family killed six!"
Barbarian Tyrant and the others excitedly reported their results.
Fairy Jinghong said bashfully, "I was too slow and only killed two. Here are their Storage Rings. Please accept them, Elder."
With that, Fairy Jinghong handed over two Storage Rings.
The others all followed her example.
In their eyes, the prey belonged to Su Mo, so the spoils of war should also belong to him.
Su Mo waved his hand. "These things are useless to me. You can have them. Consider it my thanks to you all."
"Oh, you’re too kind!"
Everyone smiled as they put the Storage Rings away.
Barbarian Tyrant said, "Elder Su, although you slapped the Ten Great Family Heads to death, their families still exist. They will definitely retaliate. What do you think...?"
