In an instant, White Impermanence was scared witless.
’Are you kidding me!’
’Those bastards from the Celestial Slaughter Hall actually sent me to deal with someone this terrifying.’
’Isn’t this sending me to my death?’
’I’m no match for someone who couldn’t even be killed by the Evil Demon Finger Bone.’
"Farewell!"
White Impermanence tried to turn and leave.
But it was too late.
BAM!
Su Mo shot out a hand, clamped it around White Impermanence’s neck, and lifted her into the air.
"Spare me!"
White Impermanence struggled violently.
Su Mo asked in a cold voice, "Who are you, and what are your names?"
"We are Black and White Impermanence!"
White Impermanence stammered in a panic, not daring to hide a thing.
The man before her could crush her to death with a casual squeeze.
Pointing at Black Impermanence’s corpse, she said, "He’s Black Impermanence, and I’m White Impermanence. We both serve the King of Reincarnation."
"King of Reincarnation?"
Su Mo looked utterly confused.
He had offended many people, but he’d never heard of anyone called the King of Reincarnation.
Su Mo asked, "Are you saying you came to kill me on the King of Reincarnation’s orders?"
"No!"
White Impermanence shook her head.
Su Mo roared, "Are you fucking with me?"
BOOM!
An icy chill enveloped White Impermanence.
White Impermanence was horrified!
This chill was identical to the one they had felt earlier—it was bone-deep and freezing.
White Impermanence said in terror, "You’re the mysterious, mighty expert who was watching us earlier?"
"Mysterious mighty expert my ass! I don’t know what you’re talking about!"
Su Mo scoffed.
But White Impermanence was now absolutely certain.
Su Mo was that mysterious expert.
Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly release such a glacial chill.
Su Mo’s voice was like ice. "Answer my question!"
"Yes, yes!"
White Impermanence answered obediently, "This mission has nothing to do with Lord King of Reincarnation. We accepted a reward from the Celestial Slaughter Hall to come here and kill you."
At that moment, she was regretting it more than anything.
’If I’d known Su Mo was this powerful, I would never have gotten involved in this mess, just to throw my life away.’
"So that’s how it is."
Su Mo finally understood.
He had a feud with the Celestial Slaughter Hall. He’d killed several waves of their assassins and wiped out all their branches in the Eighteen Kingdoms.
It was only natural they’d come for revenge.
And this time, they’d sent experts at the Martial King Realm.
White Impermanence pleaded, "I’ve told you everything I know. Can you let me go now?"
"Heh, you think I’d do that?"
Su Mo sneered.
White Impermanence cried out in terror, "You can’t kill me! I work for the King of Reincarnation! If you kill me, he won’t let you off!"
Su Mo ignored her threats and tightened his grip on her neck.
BANG!
Just then, a powerful force erupted from White Impermanence’s body.
"A Restriction?"
Su Mo looked surprised.
’Anyone who can place a Restriction on a Martial King expert must be a master in their own right.’
"Heh, let’s see just how strong this Restriction is."
Su Mo continued to tighten his grip on her neck.
Soon, the Restriction could no longer hold and shattered, exploding from her body.
A phantom image manifested.
"It’s Lord King of Reincarnation!"
White Impermanence looked at the phantom image with joyful surprise.
’Now, I’m saved!’
Su Mo addressed the phantom image, "So you’re the King of Reincarnation?"
"Who are you? Why do you wish to kill my subordinate?"
The King of Reincarnation looked at Su Mo, surprised.
’This brat actually broke the Restriction I placed on White Impermanence.’
"Your subordinate came to kill me. Am I not allowed to fight back?"
Su Mo asked with a sneer.
The King of Reincarnation turned to White Impermanence and demanded coldly, "White Impermanence, what is going on?"
White Impermanence confessed, "My lord, we secretly accepted an assassination mission from the Celestial Slaughter Hall, which is why..."
"You dared to go behind my back and accept a mission?"
The King of Reincarnation was furious.
Without his explicit command, Black and White Impermanence were forbidden from taking on private assassination jobs.
But these two had not only taken a mission behind his back, they had even gotten themselves captured.
’Fucking useless,’ he thought.
The more the King of Reincarnation thought about it, the angrier he became. He demanded furiously, "You know the penalty for disobeying my orders, don’t you?"
"D-Death!"
White Impermanence stammered, trembling uncontrollably.
With a flick of his finger, the King of Reincarnation sent a cold glint of light shooting toward White Impermanence’s throat. "Then die."
"Ah—!"
White Impermanence shrieked in terror.
But just then, with a casual wave of his hand, Su Mo shattered the King of Reincarnation’s attack.
"What is the meaning of this?"
The King of Reincarnation stared coldly at Su Mo.
Su Mo said flatly, "She’s my captive. Whether she lives or dies is my decision. You have no right to interfere."
"Ha?"
The King of Reincarnation was utterly stunned.
He was merely trying to punish his own subordinate, and this brat was telling him he had no right?
’The arrogance!’
The King of Reincarnation looked at Su Mo impassively. "Brat, step aside. If you dare to stop me again, I’ll slaughter your entire family."
"What did you say?"
Su Mo asked, his face darkening.
The King of Reincarnation repeated, "I said, I’ll slaughter your entire family!"
SLAP!
Su Mo raised his hand and slapped the King of Reincarnation hard across the face.
And the King of Reincarnation didn’t even have time to dodge.
"You dare hit me?"
The King of Reincarnation’s face was dangerously cold.
As a master from the Central Profound Domain and one of the Ten Great Yamas of Yama Hall, he hadn’t been humiliated like this in centuries.
Let alone being slapped across the face.
He didn’t realize that his threat to kill Su Mo’s family had touched a nerve that should never be touched.
"You fucking threatened me. What, was I supposed to invite you to dinner instead?"
Su Mo snarled.
RUMBLE!
A formidable power erupted from within Su Mo, pressing down directly on the King of Reincarnation’s phantom image.
In that instant, the King of Reincarnation was stunned.
’Where did this brat get such terrifying power? He’s actually suppressing me?’
SLAP!
Then, Su Mo slapped him again.
The King of Reincarnation, now utterly enraged, bellowed, "You’re fucking courting death!"
This phantom was merely a wisp of his divine soul.
The damage to his true body was negligible.
But he could not bear this kind of humiliation.
"You dare curse at me, you bastard!" Enraged, Su Mo slapped the King of Reincarnation’s face again.
SLAP!
The sound of the slap was deafening.
The King of Reincarnation’s dao heart was about to shatter.
He was one of the Ten Halls of Yama!
Meanwhile, White Impermanence stood to the side, scared witless.
’Slapping the King of Reincarnation?’
’This was something I’d never even dreamed of.’
Burning with rage, the King of Reincarnation snarled, "Don’t get cocky, brat! This wisp of my soul doesn’t even have one percent of my true power. Just wait until my real body gets ahold of you. I’ll make you beg for a death that will never come."
"Ooh, I’m so scared!"
Su Mo said sarcastically, patting his chest.
Then, he did something truly vicious.
Su Mo commanded, "Xiao Dong, come here. Give this bastard a good, hard slap for your Young Master."
"Yes, Young Master!"
Xiao Dong walked up to the King of Reincarnation, spat on his hands, and said, "Get ready, here it comes!"
SLAP!
The King of Reincarnation took another vicious slap.
This time, his dao heart completely shattered.
’Damn it all!’
’I’m an old monster who’s lived for hundreds of years, and I just got slapped by a snot-nosed kid of eight or nine.’
’This is the ultimate humiliation.’
