Ugly baldy?
Upon hearing this, the bald youth instantly exploded with rage.
He hated it more than anything when people called him an ugly baldy.
Even the Black Rock Vulture Demon Pet at his feet let out an angry shriek.
Because Su Mo had just referred to *two* ugly baldies.
He had insulted it as well.
The bald youth glared viciously at Su Mo. "Kid, what did you just call me? Say it again if you’ve got the guts."
"I called you an ugly baldy?"
Su Mo asked with faux curiosity, "Do you like it when people call you an ugly baldy? Alright then, I’ll say it a few more times. Ugly baldy, ugly baldy..."
As he continued shouting, he complained to himself.
’This bald kid must be some kind of pervert.’
’To actually enjoy being called an ugly baldy.’
After shouting "ugly baldy" more than a dozen times, Su Mo asked, "Had enough yet? If not, I can get others to call you an ugly baldy too."
"You lot, get over here!"
Su Mo called Xiao Lang, Xiao Dong, and the others over.
"Ugly baldy, ugly baldy..."
The group shouted in unison.
The bald youth’s face turned green with rage. He snarled through gritted teeth, "You motherfucker! I’m going to kill you."
BOOM!
The bald youth’s power erupted from his Realm as he charged furiously toward Su Mo.
The next second, Su Mo sent him flying with a kick.
Su Mo said coldly, "What the hell? I gave you what you wanted, and you still fucking try to hit me? How unreasonable can you get?"
THUD!
The bald youth slammed into the ground like a cannonball.
His ass was practically split open.
"You..."
The bald youth stared at Su Mo in utter disbelief.
He hadn’t even seen clearly how Su Mo had just attacked.
He wasn’t even sure it was Su Mo who had made the move.
’This guy’s pretty strong.’
The bald youth lamented internally.
He finally understood why Su Mo dared to call him an ugly baldy—the man actually had the strength to back it up.
However, he wasn’t about to let the matter drop.
The bald youth scrambled up from the ground, dusted off his pants, and said, "Kid, I admit I misjudged you. But I’m still going to take care of you today."
"Oh?"
Su Mo asked curiously, "And how do you plan on doing that?"
The bald youth pointed at the Black Rock Vulture. "See this Demon Beast? It’s my master’s Demon Pet, a Tier Five Great Demon."
What?
A Tier Five Great Demon...
The onlookers turned to the Black Rock Vulture, their faces filled with terror.
It really was a Tier Five Great Demon.
That was a Demon Beast comparable to a human at the Martial Monarch Level!
Demon Beasts were born with incredibly tough bodies. Even an ordinary Tier Five Great Demon could rival an expert at the Mid Stage Martial Monarch Realm, or perhaps even the Late Stage.
"Looks like that kid has really stepped in it now."
"You can say that again!"
"Judging by its aura, this Black Rock Vulture isn’t a newly ascended Tier Five Great Demon. The few Martial Monarchs behind that kid might not be able to stop it."
The surrounding crowd of onlookers chattered amongst themselves.
The Black Rock Vulture struck an arrogant pose.
Just as the crowd had surmised, it wasn’t a newly ascended Tier Five Great Demon, but a veteran one that had reached its Realm over a decade ago.
"Is this Tier Five ugly baldy supposed to be impressive?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
The moment he said this, all the onlookers were stunned speechless.
Holy shit!
This kid has some serious nerve.
To humiliate a Black Rock Vulture to its face, calling it a "Tier Five ugly baldy."
Does he have a death wish?
"ROAR!"
The Black Rock Vulture let out a furious roar, its eyes gleaming with ferocity.
The bald youth sneered. "Kid, you’re the one with some real nerve. Daring to call my master’s Demon Pet a ’Tier Five ugly baldy.’ You’re dead for sure this time. Just wait to be torn to shreds. Even I can’t save you now."
The Black Rock Vulture had been sent by his master to protect him.
Normally, he could barely keep it under control.
But once the Black Rock Vulture was enraged, he was powerless to restrain it. Not even the Celestial King himself could do anything about it.
Unless his master came in person.
Besides, he had no intention of saving Su Mo.
He couldn’t wait for Su Mo to be torn to pieces.
The bald youth turned to the Black Rock Vulture and said, "Do whatever you want. I’ll just pretend I didn’t see a thing."
"ROAR!"
The Black Rock Vulture loomed over Su Mo and let out a furious roar.
Then, it dove.
"He’s finished!"
The onlookers all squeezed their eyes shut.
A young kid versus a Tier Five Great Demon?
Was there any doubt about the outcome?
He would surely be torn to pieces, without even a complete corpse left behind.
And yet...
BAM!
A loud crash echoed out. When the crowd cautiously opened their eyes, they saw the Black Rock Vulture smashed onto the ground.
A large lump was swelling on its bald forehead.
It looked like it had been punched.
Huh?
Seeing this, all the onlookers were completely dumbfounded.
How did the Black Rock Vulture get knocked down?
Who had done it?
But when they looked over at Su Mo, they found him standing in the same spot, completely unharmed, with his right hand still raised in a fist.
"Could it be... that kid did it?"
The crowd stared at Su Mo in disbelief.
That was a Tier Five Great Demon!
Even if Su Mo had some skill, there was no way he could knock a Tier Five Great Demon to the ground with a single punch.
This was unbelievable.
The bald youth shouted in disbelief, "Th-th-this... Black Rock Vulture, hurry up and tear him to pieces!"
"AWOO..."
The Black Rock Vulture let out a grief-stricken cry.
Su Mo snapped, "If you dare look at me with those murderous eyes again, I’ll pluck you bare and roast you like a chicken."
His words were bone-chilling.
The terrified Black Rock Vulture stumbled back two steps, its eyes filled with dread.
"What?"
The bald youth was stunned.
His master’s Demon Pet had actually been cowed by a single sentence.
"Get down!"
Su Mo commanded.
THUMP!
The Black Rock Vulture obediently prostrated itself before Su Mo, as docile as a child.
"That’s more like it!"
Su Mo nodded in satisfaction, then called out to the members of the Xiao Family, "Alright, this ugly baldy is behaving now. Everyone, get on."
"You got it!"
Everyone excitedly climbed onto the Black Rock Vulture.
With a Tier Five Great Demon for a ride, who would want to take that crude flying ship?
That thing looked like it could fall apart at any moment.
Long Chuan and Qingyunzi also scrambled excitedly onto the Black Rock Vulture, relieved they no longer had to lug that ship everywhere.
"Up!"
The Black Rock Vulture spread its wings and flew toward the town three hundred li away.
The bald youth shouted in a panic, "Hey, don’t go! That’s my master’s mount! What am I supposed to do if you leave?"
"BOO HOO HOO!"
The bald youth broke down, wailing in misery.
Just because he’d mocked them a little...
...they’d gone and ridden off with his master’s Demon Pet mount.
How was he going to explain this?
WHOOSH!
Just then, a figure landed in front of the bald youth.
The newcomer was a bald, middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man scolded, "What are you crying for? You’re a grown man, and you’re still fucking shedding tears! Are you a man or not?"
"Master, they stole your Demon Pet!"
The bald youth sobbed.
"What?"
The middle-aged man cried out in shock, then roared in anger, "What use do I have for a disciple like you? You trash! You can’t even watch over a single Demon Pet!"
THWACK!
The bald youth was sent flying by a kick. He crawled back and pleaded, "Master, it’s not my fault! They were the ones who went too far..."
"What was that person’s name?"
The middle-aged man asked in a low voice.
The bald youth recalled, "...I think his surname was Su."
