Chapter 241: Get Out of My Way
When they heard the Evil King was ready to fight, the hearts of Gu Tong and Gubo sank. They steeled themselves for a deadly battle.
They didn’t want to fight.
But the other party clearly had no intention of letting this go. They were being forced to fight.
There was no other choice!
Gu Tong and Gubo immediately began to circulate the Heaven-Supporting Demon Technique.
The short old man sneered, "Heh heh, it seems you’re dead set on not handing over the Unparalleled Treasure Medicine. In that case, you can all die."
BOOM!
The short old man charged directly at Gu Tong, and the two quickly engaged in a fierce battle.
In an instant, the very ground around them was torn apart.
To seize the Unparalleled Treasure Medicine, the short old man unleashed his full power and killing moves right from the start. His methods were vicious.
"Tsk tsk, this old ancestor of the Great Demon Sect is really something else. He actually managed to block Doctor Mo."
The burly middle-aged man exclaimed in admiration, then said to a person behind him, "Go help Doctor Mo and kill that one named Gu Tong."
"Yes!"
The man acknowledged the order and immediately joined the fray.
The old woman glanced at the burly middle-aged man and said, "I will take my men to kill the one called Evil King. You go kill Gubo. Don’t hold back."
"Don’t worry, I won’t."
The burly middle-aged man laughed sinisterly.
Although he wasn’t afraid of the Great Demon Sect, he didn’t want them hunting him down and causing trouble for himself.
Therefore, he planned to kill them to silence them.
"Attack!"
The burly middle-aged man and the old woman charged out in unison.
The rest of their group followed suit.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The group fought with such intensity that the sky seemed to darken, and they nearly razed the entire Bloody Mountain Range to the ground.
Over a hundred moves later!
BANG! BANG!
After forcefully blocking the short old man and another opponent, Gu Tong was about to catch his breath when a dark figure suddenly appeared behind him.
Instantly, Gu Tong felt as if he were facing a powerful enemy.
SHLICK!
Just as Gu Tong turned around, a cold gleam shot from the dark figure’s hand, slicing open his abdomen like a sharp blade. Blood gushed out.
BANG!
Gu Tong sent the dark figure flying. Taking a closer look, he saw that it was a hunchbacked youth.
The hunchbacked youth was plain-looking and skilled at sneak attacks and concealing his aura. He had been hiding inconspicuously in the crowd, which was why Gu Tong had completely overlooked him.
"You... you launched a sneak attack!"
Gu Tong clutched the wound on his stomach, his face pale as he glared at the hunchbacked youth.
The hunchbacked youth flicked the black dagger in his hand and said, "I am an assassin. Sneak attacks are what I do best. However, this is the first time I’ve successfully ambushed a master at the Martial King Great Perfection realm."
"Heh heh, after this battle, another glorious mark will be added to my history as an assassin."
The hunchbacked youth sneered and blended back into his surroundings.
’He vanished?’
Gu Tong’s heart sank. He immediately activated all his power to defend himself, just in time to block the hunchbacked youth’s fatal blow.
BOOM!
The hunchbacked youth was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of black blood as he stared intently at Gu Tong.
However, the short old man and the other combatant closed in, severely wounding Gu Tong.
Gu Tong coughed up blood continuously.
The short old man said to the hunchbacked youth, "Leave this old fellow to me. Go help the others. Let’s end this quickly."
"Alright!"
The hunchbacked youth vanished from Gu Tong’s sight.
The short old man looked at Gu Tong and said coldly, "I advise you to stop this pointless resistance. If you keep fighting, you will surely die."
"Even if I die, I must protect my Lord."
Gu Tong charged out in a fury.
The next second!
He was blasted back.
THUD! THUD!
Before he could speak, Gubo and the Evil King were also thrown back, landing beside Gu Tong with blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.
The short old man sneered, "I already warned you not to resist pointlessly, but you just wouldn’t listen."
"Doctor Mo, should we kill these guys?"
"Of course, we have to kill them!"
"They’re from the Great Demon Sect. If the Great Demon Sect finds out about this, they’ll definitely send people to hunt us down, which would be a huge hassle."
The crowd stared at Gu Tong, the Evil King, and the others, their killing intent surging.
The short old man said indifferently, "We’ll kill them, of course, but now is not the time. It won’t be too late to kill them after we’ve picked the Unparalleled Treasure Medicine!"
"That’s a great idea!"
The burly middle-aged man chuckled. "Let them watch with their own eyes as we pick the Unparalleled Treasure Medicine they fought to the death to protect. Let them die in despair, filled with unwilling resentment."
"I’ll go pick it!"
The hunchbacked youth volunteered.
The short old man refused, "No, not you. Someone else go."
The burly middle-aged man said, "You specialize in stealth and assassination. What if you pick the Unparalleled Treasure Medicine and run off? Where would we even look for you?"
The others also disagreed with the hunchbacked youth picking the Unparalleled Treasure Medicine.
The hunchbacked youth asked with a cold laugh, "You don’t trust me that much?"
"It’s not that we don’t trust you, it’s a precaution. You have to stay under our noses for us to be completely at ease."
The burly middle-aged man looked at the old woman and said, "You go pick it."
"Alright!"
The old woman walked excitedly in the direction where Su Mo was.
However, when she arrived at the edge of the Blood Pool, she found nothing there but a giant black hole.
The old woman wondered aloud, "Could it be? Is the Unparalleled Treasure Medicine inside this black hole?"
Just then, a bewildered voice suddenly came from within the black hole. "Ah, have I broken through to the Martial Artist realm already?"
Huh?
Startled, the old woman hastily retreated a hundred meters.
WHOOSH!
The black hole before her eyes rapidly shrank, revealing the figure of a young man with a pleasantly surprised expression on his face.
"Who... Who are you?"
The old woman asked in alarm.
Su Mo stood up and said, "My name is Su Mo. I’m from the Xiao Family of Qingyang City in the Desolate Empire. I’m the family’s live-in son-in-law. Wait, why am I telling you all this?"
"The Desolate Empire?"
The old woman’s brow furrowed.
In her memory, she had never heard of any Desolate Empire in the Northern Profound Domain.
"And who are you?"
Su Mo looked at the old woman in confusion.
Before he went into seclusion, he didn’t remember this old woman being in the Bloody Mountain Range.
’Where did this old woman pop out from?’
The old woman replied, "I am from the Eastern Profound Domain, so it’s only natural that you’ve never seen me before. If you know what’s good for you, hand over the Unparalleled Treasure Medicine right now."
"What Unparalleled Treasure Medicine? I haven’t seen any."
Su Mo couldn’t be bothered with the old woman.
Just as he was about to leave to find the Evil King and the Gu Tong brothers, the old woman suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
"What do you want!"
Su Mo said impatiently.
He had been in seclusion just now and was unaware that the old woman and her group had forced their way into the mountains. He suspected she might be a lunatic.
’Otherwise, why would she be blocking me?’
The old woman asked, "Do you know Gu Tong?"
"Yeah, I know him!"
Su Mo answered honestly.
The old woman said with delight, "That’s it, then! You’re a disciple of the Great Demon Sect brought here by Gu Tong! You had him hold us off at the front while you hid here to secretly pick the Unparalleled Treasure Medicine. The Unparalleled Treasure Medicine must be on you!"
"Huh?"
Su Mo was completely bewildered.
’Since when did I become a disciple of the Great Demon Sect?’
’The Great Demon Sect isn’t even worthy of carrying my shoes.’
Su Mo said angrily, "I’ll say it again. I am not a disciple of the Great Demon Sect, and I don’t have any Unparalleled Treasure Medicine. Now get out of my way."
