It was clear that Bai Luoxue was traumatized by the Evil Demons.
That’s why she wanted to go around them.
Rescue the others and then run.
But Su Mo refused. "No need for all that trouble. We’ll fly straight over and face the Evil Demons head-on."
"Head-on?"
Bai Luoxue’s face was filled with worry.
The Evil King had a full eight thousand Evil Demon subordinates.
And there were only the two of them.
’Can we really win a direct fight?’
Besides, the Evil King’s power was terrifyingly immense.
If they lost, not only would they be used in a blood sacrifice by the Evil Demons, but the Evil King might even use a Secret Technique to transform them into new Evil Demons. The consequences were unimaginable.
She wanted to try and persuade him further.
However, by this point, they had already arrived opposite the Evil Demon army, their path completely blocked.
’If I die, I die!’
Bai Luoxue steeled her resolve. ’To die alongside a prodigy like Elder Su... It’s a blessing I, Bai Luoxue, must have cultivated for lifetimes to receive.’
...
Watching the Evil Demon army grind to a halt, the silver-haired man asked in confusion, "What’s going on? Why have they all stopped?"
"It looks like someone’s coming from over there."
The disciple from Hua Celestial Sect replied.
What?
Someone’s here?
Are they reinforcements?
The silver-haired man shouted in excitement, "The heavens have eyes! They actually sent us reinforcements! Lady Shen, we’re all going to make it back alive this time!"
"Don’t celebrate too soon!"
The beautiful woman threw a bucket of cold water on his excitement.
The silver-haired man frowned. "What do you mean? You don’t want us to be saved?"
"See for yourself!"
The beautiful woman pointed ahead.
The silver-haired man’s gaze fell on Bai Luoxue, and he laughed. "Ah, so it’s the reinforcements Luoxue brought back. She must have gone through a lot."
I mean, this place is crawling with Evil Demons.
For Bai Luoxue to face pursuit from Evil Demons while also trying to find help—it must have been incredibly difficult.
But when he turned his gaze to Su Mo, he was dumbfounded.
"She only brought back one person?"
The silver-haired man was stunned.
And worse, this "reinforcement" was just some teenager.
’Is this a reinforcement?’
’This is a fucking joke.’
The silver-haired man fell into complete despair.
If he had known, he would have fought his way out to get reinforcements himself. Others might have at least offered help out of respect for the Great Demon Sect.
But now, his last glimmer of hope was extinguished.
However, the disciple from Hua Celestial Sect beside him shouted in delight, "Quick, look! It’s Elder Su!"
"It really is Elder Su."
Fairy Jinghong jumped up in excitement.
She never would have dreamed that the reinforcement Bai Luoxue brought back would be the very same Elder Su she longed to see again.
"What? *He’s* Elder Su?"
The silver-haired man roared in fury, "You little bastard, are you fucking with me? I risked my life bringing you to this godforsaken place for ’training,’ and it was all just so you could see that brat?"
At that moment, the silver-haired man felt like his lungs were about to explode with rage.
The beautiful woman looked at Fairy Jinghong and said, "Fairy Jinghong, your taste is abysmal. How could you fall for such trash?"
She had thought this "Elder Su" was some incredible existence.
But as it turned out, he was just a young punk.
How disappointing.
If she had known, she would have broken Bai Luoxue’s legs rather than let her come to this godforsaken place to meet Su Mo, risking her life for nothing.
"Where’s my master?"
Bai Luoxue looked around frantically.
Su Mo pointed toward the crowd. "She should be over there."
"Master..."
Bai Luoxue followed Su Mo’s gesture and saw her master. "Master!" she cried out excitedly. "I’ve come to save you!"
"Who told you to come? Get out of here!"
The beautiful woman gritted her teeth and snapped.
’This foolish girl.’
’If you couldn’t find reinforcements, you should have just fled! To foolishly run back here... isn’t that just suicide?’
’How did I end up with such a foolish disciple?’
"You want to save them?"
The One-Horned Evil Demon sneered and sent the beautiful woman flying a hundred meters with a single kick.
THUD!
The beautiful woman slammed heavily onto the ground, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
Bai Luoxue’s face twisted in fury. "Evil Demon! You dare strike my master! I... I’ll never forgive you! I’ll tear you limb from limb!"
"You alone?"
The One-Horned Evil Demon’s face was filled with contempt.
Then, his gaze fell upon Su Mo. He frowned. "I let you go find reinforcements, and you bring back one piece of trash Samurai?"
"This is Elder Su."
Bai Luoxue pointed at Su Mo, her voice lacking conviction.
She wasn’t sure if Su Mo could actually defeat all these Evil Demons.
After all, there were eight thousand of them.
Not to mention the Evil King.
The One-Horned Evil Demon said with a sneer, "Bullshit ’Elder Su.’ I could kill him with a single spit."
"Lord Evil King, allow me to kill this brat."
the One-Horned Evil Demon requested.
The Evil King’s face was livid. "Break both of their legs and bring them to me. I will personally flay them, drain their blood, and render their fat to light as lamps."
’This is so fucking infuriating.’
’He’d thought Bai Luoxue would bring back a group of masters with pure vital blood, but instead, she brought back just one person.’
’And a piece of trash, at that.’
’He’d gotten his hopes up for nothing.’
"Yes!"
The One-Horned Evil Demon walked up to Su Mo and commanded, "Stinking brat, get your ass over here obediently and let Lord Evil King put you out of your misery."
"What was that?"
Su Mo raised an eyebrow.
The One-Horned Evil Demon’s voice turned cold. "Unwilling, are you? Then don’t blame me for what happens next."
"Sigh, what a disaster."
"Inviting this bullshit ’Elder Su’ to save us, and he ends up getting himself killed first. It’s so fucking ridiculous."
"It’s just fate!"
The disciple from Hua Celestial Sect reminded him, "Master, keep your voice down. Whatever you do, don’t let Elder Su hear you looking down on him. He’ll kill you."
"I’ll kill *you* first!"
the silver-haired man roared.
’This worthless disciple, siding with an outsider to humiliate his own master.’
’He was a dignified Late Stage Martial King, yet he was being compared unfavorably to a Low-level Samurai?’
’What a fucking joke.’
Just then, the One-Horned Evil Demon reached Su Mo. "Brat," he said coldly, "I gave you a chance. It’s a shame you didn’t take it."
But just as he reached out to grab Su Mo by the neck, his own wrist was caught in a vice grip.
CRUNCH!
With a sudden squeeze from Su Mo, the One-Horned Evil Demon’s right hand exploded into a shower of flesh and blood.
"AHHH..."
The One-Horned Evil Demon let out a bloodcurdling scream.
Before it could even retreat, Su Mo casually swiped a hand, plucking its head from its shoulders and tossing it to the ground.
Su Mo turned back to Bai Luoxue and asked, "Hey, kid. Take a good look for me. Do I really look like a pushover?"
"A pushover? No, not at all!"
Bai Luoxue replied.
SQUELCH!
Su Mo kicked the One-Horned Evil Demon’s head, causing it to burst. "Then why," he asked in exasperation, "does every random scrub think they can step all over me?"
"Ah, well..."
Bai Luoxue didn’t know how to answer.
In the distance, the disciple from Hua Celestial Sect shouted excitedly, "Master, look! Elder Su killed the One-Horned Evil Demon!"
"Bullshit!"
The silver-haired man said in disbelief, "If he killed the One-Horned Evil Demon, then I’ll eat my own shit upside down right in front of you."
’The One-Horned Evil Demon was an opponent that even he couldn’t defeat.’
’And Su Mo killed it?’
’Don’t be ridiculous.’
Just then, Fairy Jinghong chimed in from the side, "Elder Lu, it looks like you’re fated to eat shit upside down today. If you don’t believe it, just take a look for yourself."
