"That’s them!"
The Evil King eyed the four guardian Evil Demons warily and took the initiative to explain, "The one with horns is the Horned Evil Demon. The one that looks like a lion is the Lion King Evil Demon. The other two were once human. Their names are Gu Tong and Gubo."
"Oh?"
Su Mo studied the four guardian Evil Demons.
The Evil King said, "Gu Tong and Gubo can use the Human Race Demon Technique. It’s monstrously powerful. They’ve crippled me several times. I barely escaped with my life."
After speaking, the Evil King shot Gu Tong and Gubo a vicious glare, his heart filled with resentment toward the two Evil Demons.
"Human Race Demon Technique?"
Su Mo mused, ’Could they be the ancestors of the Great Demon Sect from a hundred years ago, who turned into Evil Demons after they died?’
"That’s possible!"
the Evil King said, stunned.
Su Mo looked conflicted. "’So, should I kill them or not?’"
If he killed Gu Tong and Gubo, he would be doing the Great Demon Sect a disservice. After all, he knew Lu Ya of the Great Demon Sect.
But if he didn’t kill them...
For a moment, Su Mo was caught in a dilemma.
’Whatever!’
’Getting the Burial Ground Blood Flower is what matters right now.’
Su Mo swaggered toward the four guardian Evil Demons. Behind them was a crimson Blood Pool that looked as if it were filled with fresh blood.
In the middle of the Blood Pool, a single crimson flower swayed.
"The Burial Ground Blood Flower!"
Su Mo exclaimed in delight.
He recognized the crimson flower at a glance; it was the Burial Ground Blood Flower he needed.
At the same time...
The four guardian Evil Demons noticed Su Mo and the Evil King, turning to look at them.
The Evil Demon Gu Tong said in surprise, "Evil King? You actually dare to show your face here again? Wasn’t the beating I gave you last time bad enough?"
At these words, the Evil King was immediately plunged into painful memories.
He remembered having his legs broken.
It was a truly miserable experience!
If he hadn’t burned his Origin and used a Secret Technique to escape the Bloody Mountain Range, he would’ve been a dead man. The only reason he got away was that the four guardian Evil Demons were under orders from the Blood Demon and couldn’t abandon their posts to hunt him down. He would have died a hundred times over otherwise.
"Lord Su is here with me today. Don’t even think about humiliating me."
The Evil King snorted coldly, though his voice lacked conviction.
He wasn’t sure if Su Mo could actually defeat the four guardian Evil Demons.
If he couldn’t, he was in for a world of pain.
"Lord?"
The Evil Demon Gu Tong pointed at Su Mo. "Don’t tell me the ’Lord’ you’re talking about is this little punk?"
"That’s right!"
The Evil King said, mustering his courage. "Lord Su is no punk! Don’t you look down on him! Lord Su... his lordship is incredibly strong."
"Strong, my ass!"
Gu Tong couldn’t help but roll his eyes and curse, "I always knew you were spineless, but I never thought you were *this* soft. To think you’d submit to some pretty boy."
"You’re an Evil Demon, yet you’re willing to kneel to a human. You’re a fucking disgrace to all Evil Demons."
"A disgrace!"
Gubo and the other two Evil Demons, Horned and Lion King, all glared at the Evil King with resentment, their expressions a mixture of anger and disappointment.
They were Evil Demons, lawless beings.
Humans were fit only to be their nourishment, to be used in their blood sacrifices.
If the Evil King had submitted to a more powerful Evil Demon, they could have accepted it. But he had submitted to a human, becoming a human’s dog.
That was something they could never accept, no matter what.
"How dare you! You... You dare insult Lord Su!"
The Evil King said furiously.
The Evil Demon Gu Tong sneered, "Since you think so highly of your ’Lord Su,’ I’ll kill him with my own hands, right in front of you."
BOOM!
The Evil Demon Gu Tong erupted with a tyrannical aura and swiped a claw at Su Mo.
’Anyone who could subdue the Evil King couldn’t be ordinary.’
So, he used his full strength.
BAM!
With a tremendous crack, the ground was smashed to pieces, and a cloud of bloody Smoke and Dust filled the air.
"That’s it?"
The Evil Demon Gu Tong’s face was full of contempt.
He had thought Su Mo was so strong, but it turned out he couldn’t even withstand a single one of his moves and was smashed to death.
’If I’d known, I wouldn’t have used my full strength.’
’I could have played with him a little longer.’
The Evil Demon Gu Tong said with disappointment, "What a damn letdown. I thought he could take a few of my moves, let me have some fun. Who knew he was just trash."
SMACK!
Just as he was about to retract his claws, a large hand suddenly grabbed him.
"What? You’re not dead?"
Gu Tong turned to look at Su Mo, his eyes bulging in shock.
’Who is this kid?’
He had taken a full-power blow and not only survived but was completely unscathed.
Su Mo said coldly, "You’ve got some fucking nerve. A mere Evil Demon dares to try and smash my head? I’ll snap your arm off."
CRACK!
With a light squeeze from Su Mo, the Evil Demon Gu Tong’s arm broke.
THUD!
Su Mo casually tossed the Evil Demon Gu Tong aside.
The three other Evil Demons, who had been watching the show, felt their pupils constrict at this sight.
Clearly, they hadn’t expected Su Mo to be such a tough nut to crack.
The Evil Demon Gubo said, "You two, what should we do now?"
"We join forces, of course!"
said the Horned Evil Demon.
The Lion King Evil Demon agreed. "He may look young, but he’s cunning. None of us are his match alone. Only by joining forces do we have a chance to defeat him."
"Then let’s attack together!"
The Evil Demon Gubo began to channel his Demon Technique. A massive phantom appeared behind him—it was the Great Demon Sect’s Heaven-Supporting Demon Technique.
Su Mo’s eyes lit up.
’So it’s true. This guy can use a Human Race Demon Technique. He really is an ancestor of the Great Demon Sect from a hundred years ago.’
VMMMM!
Just as he was marveling at this, a pillar of light suddenly flared up.
It was the Horned Evil Demon.
The Horned Evil Demon was frantically pouring Evil Qi into its horns, which emitted a cold white light like a sharp blade that seemed capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart.
"Heaven-Supporting Demon Technique, Horned Killing Light?"
The Lion King Evil Demon glanced at the other two. "Since you’re both using your ultimate moves, I suppose I’ll use mine as well. Heaven-Swallowing Lion Roar."
"ROAR!"
The Lion King Evil Demon opened its cavernous mouth and let out a furious roar that seemed powerful enough to swallow the world.
"Th-th-this..."
Seeing this, the Evil King was completely dumbfounded.
Each of the three guardian Evil Demons’ ultimate moves was capable of world-ending destruction, and now they were being unleashed all at once.
’Are they trying to tear the Bloody Mountain Range apart?’
"Lord..."
The Evil King looked at Su Mo, trembling.
Far from being afraid, Su Mo was ecstatic. "Good, good! As expected of Evil Demons. You are the strongest opponents I have ever met."
As he spoke, Su Mo pointedly bent down and picked up a twig from the ground.
"Lord Su, why are you picking up a twig?"
the Evil King asked, confused.
Su Mo replied, "To kill them, of course."
"Huh?"
The Evil King was completely baffled.
’They’re unleashing world-ending ultimate moves, and you think you can fight back and kill them with a twig?’
’Are you insane?’
The Evil King suggested, "Lord Su, you should probably use a proper weapon. If you don’t have one, I can lend you one."
CLATTER!
The Evil King tossed out a large pile of Spiritual Soldiers.
There were Tier Four ones, Tier Five ones, and even Tier Six ones—all Treasures he had accumulated from killing others and taking their belongings.
"You don’t have any swords here."
Su Mo glanced at the Spiritual Soldiers on the ground.
The Evil King grabbed a long spear and presented it to Su Mo. "Lord Su, just use this spear. It’s a Tier Six Spiritual Soldier. It can increase your killing power by thirty percent."
"I’m going to use a Sword Move, so a spear isn’t suitable. This twig in my hand is more than enough to kill the three of them," Su Mo refused.
