Huh?
Hearing Long Chuan’s words, Lady Hong Fu froze on the spot.
’How arrogant!’
Someone who had just reached the Early Stage Martial King Realm was actually telling the three of them, all Mid Stage Martial Kings, to attack him at once.
The two brothers, Duan De and Duan En, also had grim expressions on their faces.
They knew they were being underestimated.
Duan De sneered. "Heh, I’ve roamed the world for decades, and this is the first time I’ve ever met someone so conceited."
"Brother, do you want to make a move?" Duan En asked.
Duan De said dismissively, "Forget it. I have no interest in fighting trash. If you want to fight, go ahead and do it yourself."
"I don’t want to fight trash either!" Duan En said, shaking his head.
Lady Hong Fu chimed in, "Since neither of you wishes to act, I shall. As it happens, I’m filled with pent-up frustration and nowhere to vent it."
BOOM!
Lady Hong Fu immediately unleashed her Realm, erupting with the terrifying pressure of a Mid Stage Martial King.
In her palms, numerous fine, blood-red threads appeared.
Duan De chuckled. "It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Lady Hong Fu’s Silk-Binding Hand. It’s truly exquisite, a dazzling sight to behold."
"The more beautiful something is, the more lethal it tends to be," Duan En said flatly.
Lady Hong Fu’s ten fingers pulled at the blood-red lines as she warned, "My Silk-Binding Hand may look exquisite, but it’s as hard as steel wire and incredibly powerful. Once you’re entangled in it, you’ll be instantly sliced into countless pieces. You’d better use your strongest power to resist."
"Heh, no need!" Long Chuan said confidently.
After being modified by the True Dragon Undying Technique taught to him by Su Mo, his physical body was incomparably strong. Forget steel wire; not even a Tier Six Spiritual Soldier could hope to harm him in the slightest.
"So you refuse the easy way and choose the hard way. Since you’re so confident, then die by my Silk-Binding Hand." Lady Hong Fu formed a hand seal, and the steel-like red threads immediately interwove into a large, blood-colored net.
"Go!"
With a flick of her finger, Lady Hong Fu sent the blood-colored net to envelop Long Chuan.
"Heh, and here I thought he had some amazing trick up his sleeve. Turns out he’s just trash who can’t even dodge."
"And with skills like that, he had the gall to shamelessly tell the three of us to attack together?"
The brothers Duan De and Duan En sneered.
The two of them thought Long Chuan didn’t have time to dodge.
Little did they know, Long Chuan hadn’t even tried to.
Lady Hong Fu said with cold arrogance, "Now, you’re a turtle in a jar. With a single thought, I can have you dismembered."
"You’re that confident?" Long Chuan’s face was full of disbelief.
"You’re courting death!"
Lady Hong Fu roared. The blood-colored net covering Long Chuan immediately tightened, about to slice him apart.
However...
No matter how much force she used, she couldn’t cut through Long Chuan’s flesh.
"What?" Lady Hong Fu stared at Long Chuan in shock.
’Is this guy’s body forged from steel?’
’How else could it be impossible to cut through?’
Long Chuan said dismissively, "Is this all you’ve got? Hmph, watch this. Shatter!"
BANG!
Long Chuan flexed with sudden force, and the blood-colored net covering his body instantly shattered into dust. The shockwave sent Lady Hong Fu flying as well.
"You..."
Hong Fu looked at Long Chuan in disbelief.
This guy... he actually destroyed her Silk-Binding Hand.
He even made her cough up blood.
The brothers Duan De and Duan En, standing to the side, were now dumbfounded.
’Lady Hong Fu was defeated?’
’How is that possible?’
"Now, it’s your turn. Get ready to kneel and apologize." Long Chuan looked at the two of them coldly, formed a giant hand, and swatted it fiercely toward them.
"Does he think we’re pushovers?"
"Heh, we admit you have some skill, but if you think you can defeat both of us at the same time, you’re still lacking."
The brothers Duan De and Duan En sneered and moved to block him together.
Then, the two of them cried out in alarm.
"What?!"
They had thought they could easily block Long Chuan, but the moment they made contact with the giant hand he had swatted down, they felt an unimaginably immense pressure.
BOOM!
Both were sent flying several hundred meters. They struggled for a long time before they could barely climb up from the ground, looking utterly wretched.
"Such terrifying power!"
Duan En looked at Long Chuan in shock, feeling as if every bone in his body was about to shatter.
Duan De wasn’t in much better shape.
His body had been struck almost to the point of paralysis.
"You two were defeated as well?"
Lady Hong Fu stared at Duan De and Duan En in disbelief.
Duan De gave a bitter smile. "You’re not mistaken. We brothers have been defeated, and quite miserably at that."
"I have a feeling... he wasn’t using his full strength," Duan En said in a low voice.
Lady Hong Fu looked astonished.
’Long Chuan defeated the combined effort of Duan De and Duan En without using his full strength? If he had gone all out, wouldn’t he have killed them outright?’
’No wonder he dared to tell the three of them to attack him at once.’
’So his strength is this terrifying.’
Lady Hong Fu asked, "Friend, may I ask your name?"
"Long Chuan!"
"Brother Long Chuan, it was indeed my fault for judging a book by its cover. Please forgive my offense," Lady Hong Fu said respectfully.
The brothers Duan De and Duan En also said politely, "Please forgive us brothers as well."
He could crush all three of them in a fight. They didn’t dare be anything but respectful.
Long Chuan waved his hand. "I wasn’t using much force. No need to apologize."
’Not much force?’
The three of them looked utterly speechless.
Xiao Lang questioned, "Now, do you still want to drive us away?"
"We wouldn’t dare!"
Lady Hong Fu sighed to herself.
’With such a badass protecting them, they don’t need the three of us worrying for nothing.’
Lady Hong Fu said, "Young Master Shi, we were in the wrong this time. We misjudged them. For the sake of the good relationship between the three of us and your Shi Family, please allow us to take back what we said before."
"Alright!"
Shi Lei agreed without hesitation.
He happened to be in need of protection.
Lady Hong Fu said, "In that case, let’s set off. We mustn’t waste another hour and let someone else snatch the treasure."
"Let’s go!"
Led by Chen Ge, the group headed toward the Dan Immortal Pool.
Only Su Mo didn’t move.
Lady Hong Fu turned back to look at Su Mo, puzzled. "Kid, aren’t you coming with us?"
"No. I’m not going the same way as you," Su Mo said flatly.
Lady Hong Fu couldn’t help but frown.
’The Demon Venerable Burial Ground is extremely dangerous, filled with powerful Evil Demons everywhere. It’s impossible to move a single step without formidable strength.’
’Under these circumstances, Su Mo actually plans to act alone?’
’Isn’t he afraid of death?’
Lady Hong Fu asked curiously, "Kid, where are you trying to go?"
"The Bloody Mountain Range!" Su Mo said flatly.
"What? You’re going to the Bloody Mountain Range?"
Lady Hong Fu said in shock, "Kid, do you have any idea what kind of place the Bloody Mountain Range is? That’s the deepest part of the Demon Venerable Burial Ground!"
"Kid, I advise you to give up on the Bloody Mountain Range. Don’t go throwing your life away for nothing," Duan De warned.
Duan En added, "To be honest with you, even the three of us wouldn’t dare to rashly enter the Bloody Mountain Range without ample preparation. If you go there alone, you’ll certainly die."
"And that’s why you guys are scrubs," Su Mo said flatly.
