What?
Hearing Su Mo’s words, Duan En’s old face visibly stiffened.
Then, he grew furious.
They were weak?
He admitted the three of them had just lost to Long Chuan. It had been a miserable defeat—a complete rout.
But that didn’t mean just anyone could humiliate them.
Especially not some wet-behind-the-ears kid.
Duan En said angrily, "Kid, you..."
"You want to fight me?"
Su Mo said coolly.
BOOM!
An invisible pressure bore down on Duan En.
Duan En was just about to speak when the formless pressure crushed the air from his lungs, forcing him to swallow the words on the tip of his tongue.
"You..."
Duan En flicked his sleeve. "Fine. If you insist on rushing to your death, then I won’t stop you. You’re on your own."
With that, Duan En turned and left.
Lady Hong Fu and Duan De followed him.
Lady Hong Fu asked, confused, "Weren’t you about to teach that kid a lesson? Why did you suddenly stop?"
"I sensed that kid is dangerous,"
Duan En said, wiping away his cold sweat.
In that instant, he had felt an immense pressure, as if he’d been plunged into an ice cellar. He was drenched in cold sweat.
He was certain that was not someone he could afford to provoke.
"Dangerous?"
Lady Hong Fu said in disbelief, "He’s just a teenage punk. What’s so dangerous about him?"
Just then, Shi Lei suddenly asked, "Lady Hong Fu, when will you stop judging people by their appearance?"
"Young Master Shi, what do you mean by that?"
Hong Fu asked, her face ashen.
She admitted she sometimes misjudged people, but there was no way she was wrong about Su Mo.
She had observed him several times; Su Mo was a Samurai Great Perfection.
Forget about comparing him to the older generation.
Even among the younger generation, Su Mo was at the very bottom.
However, Shi Lei shook his head and said, "To tell you the truth, Elder Su is the strongest and most unfathomable one among us."
"What?"
Lady Hong Fu was stunned.
Isn’t Su Mo just a Samurai? How is that unfathomable?
’How did I not see it?’
Liu Wuxie took a deep breath. "Brother Shi is right. Elder Su is truly unfathomable. All of us here combined probably couldn’t withstand a single slap from him."
Lady Hong Fu let out a sharp, shocked gasp.
You have to understand, there were ten Martial Kings among them!
And they couldn’t even withstand a single slap from Su Mo?
Lady Hong Fu asked in disbelief, "Is he... is he really that terrifying?"
"Do you know the Tianhu Sect Master?"
Shi Lei retorted.
This time, before Lady Hong Fu could speak, Duan En interjected, "The Tianhu Sect Master is the strongest existence in the Western Profound Domain. Rumor has it, he is already a Half-Step Martial Emperor."
"That’s right. I went to the Western Profound Domain a few days ago and was fortunate enough to see the Tianhu Sect Master once. He is indeed a Half-Step Martial Emperor," Duan De confirmed.
Both of their faces showed looks of envy.
A Half-Step Martial Emperor!
That was the Realm they had always dreamed of reaching.
They believed it wouldn’t be long before the Tianhu Sect Master became a true Martial Emperor Powerhouse, ruling the entire Western Profound Domain like an Emperor.
"The Tianhu Sect Master is indeed a fearsome powerhouse."
Lady Hong Fu nodded emphatically.
But Shi Lei just scoffed. "Fearsome powerhouse, my ass. He’s just a Half-Step Martial Emperor. A few days ago, Elder Su shattered one of his clones with a single slap."
"Ah..."
The three were so shocked their eyes almost popped out of their heads.
A clone of a Half-Step Martial Emperor could rival a Martial King Perfection powerhouse.
And Su Mo shattered such a terrifying existence?
Is that even possible?!
The three of them were speechless for a long time.
「A long while later.」
Duan En came to a sudden realization. "No wonder I broke out in a cold sweat when I faced him just now. So he’s that terrifying."
"It seems I’ve misjudged someone again."
Lady Hong Fu was thoroughly ashamed.
In just a few short minutes, she had misjudged someone’s strength twice in a row.
Thankfully, he hadn’t held it against her.
’Otherwise, I’d already be dead.’
「Meanwhile.」
Su Mo stood on the black wasteland and cursed, "Fuck, that bastard Chen Ge didn’t tell me how to get to the Bloody Mountain Range!"
The land was black in all directions, with no landmarks whatsoever.
He was completely lost.
Su Mo looked around. "Besides the entrance and the direction Chen Ge and the others went, there are two directions left. I’ll just go the opposite way."
Chen Ge and his group had gone to the Dan Immortal Pool, the only place that hadn’t been tainted by Demonic Qi.
The opposite direction must have the heaviest contamination. That must be where the Demon Venerable is buried.
WHOOSH...
The next second, Su Mo appeared several hundred meters away.
Anyone who saw this would find it unbelievable.
Teleportation!
If Su Mo cultivated the True Dragon Supreme Body Technique to its peak, he could even teleport from one end of the world to the other.
For now, it was only a few hundred meters.
After teleporting continuously for two hours, Su Mo stopped on a small peak and took out a large beef shank to gnaw on.
He was hungry!
Teleporting was fast, but it also consumed a lot of energy.
Fortunately, he had prepared food in advance.
Otherwise, he would have had to go hungry.
As Su Mo gnawed on the beef shank, he looked around and said, "The Demonic Qi here is more than ten times thicker than at the entrance. Looks like I chose the right direction."
"Hey, little lady, stop right there, or I’ll smash you into a meat paste!"
"In a bit, I’m gonna strip you naked and play with you until you’re dead."
"We’ll turn you into an Evil Demon."
A short distance away, several lecherous voices suddenly rang out.
’A robbery and murder?’
Su Mo looked into the distance curiously. He saw three pale-skinned, burly men chasing a woman in white.
The woman in white was covered in blood, clearly heavily injured.
"Thousand Mile Ice Seal!"
Just as the woman in white was about to be caught, she suddenly turned and spat out a jet of cold air, freezing the three men behind her.
However, before the woman in white could even rejoice, the ice shattered.
BANG!
One of them broke free from the ice and said contemptuously, "Little lady, you really underestimate us. We are the subordinates of Lord Evil King. You think you can defeat us?"
"Don’t come any closer!"
the woman in white shouted to stop them.
That last attack was the strongest she could currently muster. She had hoped to trap them for a few minutes to buy time to escape.
Who would have thought they would break it instantly?
The woman in white trembled. "If you come any closer, I’ll kill myself, and you’ll get nothing."
"Kill yourself?"
"Heh, killing yourself is useless. We are Evil Demons. Even if you die and turn to dust, Lord Qi King has ways to resurrect you."
"I advise you to surrender without a fight. Don’t put up a useless struggle."
The three pale-skinned, burly men closed in on her, step by step.
The woman in white had a look of utter despair.
She wanted to kill herself.
But the thought of her corpse being resurrected into some inhuman, ghoulish Evil Demon made her unable to go through with it.
’What should I do?’
’Am I destined to become an Evil Demon?’
Just as the woman in white was at a loss, a surprised voice suddenly reached her ears. "Huh? Isn’t that Bai Luoxue? What are you doing here?"
"That voice is so familiar... Is that Elder Su...?"
