Chapter 242: Never Provoke Him
"What? You dare tell me to get lost?"
The old woman stared at Su Mo, gritting her teeth in a mixture of shock and fury.
This kid before her was too arrogant.
Not only had he deceived her with a mouth full of lies, but he was also disrespectful, brazenly telling her to get lost.
’The nerve!’
Su Mo said indifferently, "I’ve told you several times that I’m not a disciple of the Great Demon Sect, and I don’t have any Unparalleled Treasure Medicine. You’re still blocking my way. Should I tell you to get lost, or should I invite you to sit down for a feast?"
"Insolent!"
The old woman demanded, exasperated, "Fine, then! Let me ask you, if you’re not a disciple of the Great Demon Sect, why would Gu Tong bring you to the Bloody Mountain Range to seek your fortune?"
"I came by myself."
Su Mo said calmly.
The old woman sneered, "By yourself? With your pathetic Early Stage Martial Artist Realm, a level no better than an ant’s, you have the ability to make it to the Bloody Mountain Range?"
"That’s right. I got here on my own."
Su Mo said calmly, "My Realm might be low, but my strength is high. You know the Blood Demon, right? I’m the one who killed that guy as a warm-up."
"Huh?"
The old woman was stunned on the spot.
’The Blood Demon Evil Demon was killed by this kid in front of me?’
’What a joke.’
’The Blood Demon was a being that even she feared. How could he die at the hands of a mere Martial Artist?’
’Dammit!’
’His boasts were beyond ridiculous.’
She found that this kid was becoming more and more unreliable. Not a single word out of his mouth was true; he just spouted one ridiculous fantasy after another.
"So you’re saying you’re very strong?"
The old woman scoffed.
Su Mo said, "I wouldn’t say I’m too strong. Just average."
Even now, he still didn’t know the limits of his own strength. Not wanting to overstate things, he could only be vague.
However, to the old woman’s ears, his words had a completely different meaning.
It was utterly sarcastic!
The old woman clasped her hands behind her back and said, "Kid, you’re the biggest liar I’ve ever met in my life. It’s actually quite amusing. How about this: to expose your lies, I will stand right here and let you hit me with one punch."
"Hit you?"
Su Mo was taken aback.
The old woman said arrogantly, "That’s right. I’m letting you hit me. But you’d better use every ounce of strength you’ve got and kill me. That’s the only way to prove you’re not lying. Of course, that’s impossible."
"Alright!"
Su Mo reluctantly agreed.
’Sure enough, this old hag is a psycho. Otherwise, she never would have made such a bizarre request.’
"Then get ready!"
Su Mo raised his fist.
The old woman said calmly, "Go ahead. If you can’t kill me, I’ll chop you into eight pieces and feed your corpse to the wild dogs."
’So vicious?’
Su Mo’s brow furrowed, and he threw a punch at the old woman.
However, he didn’t use his full strength.
And yet, when this exceedingly ordinary punch met the old woman’s eyes, it scared her senseless.
She could actually taste death.
"Wait—"
The old woman wanted to stop Su Mo, but it was too late. He had already hit her.
BAM!
The old woman was sent flying nearly a kilometer.
Su Mo chased after her, shouting, "Hey, don’t die! You’re the one who told me to hit you! I didn’t even use my full strength, so how did you go flying like that?"
「A kilometer away.」
The middle-aged giant man and the others grew impatient as they waited for the old woman’s long-overdue return.
"What’s taking so long to pick the Unparalleled Treasure Medicine?"
"Don’t tell me that old hag took the Unparalleled Treasure Medicine and ran?"
"That’s possible!"
The hunchbacked youth scoffed, "Heh, it’s one thing not to trust me, but to let that old hag go pick the Unparalleled Treasure Medicine? Don’t you know she’s even greedier than I am?"
"Shut up!"
The middle-aged giant man looked at the short old man and said, "Doctor Mo, use your nose. Is that old hag still around?"
"Don’t panic. The old hag is coming," the short old man said calmly.
Hearing this, the middle-aged giant man asked with delight, "Does that mean we’ve got the Unparalleled Treasure Medicine?"
"We’ve got it. I can smell the Unparalleled Treasure Medicine approaching us... huh? Why do I smell a stranger too?" the short old man exclaimed in surprise.
"A stranger?"
The hunchbacked youth tensed as if facing a great enemy. "Could it be the Blood Demon Evil Demon? Did it find us and chase us here?"
"That’s possible!"
"Everyone, prepare for a fight. As soon as we have the old woman, we leave this place immediately."
Everyone grew tense.
THUD!
Just then, a figure slammed down hard in front of them. It was none other than the old woman they had sent to pick the Unparalleled Treasure Medicine.
HACK!
The old woman smashed a large crater into the ground and spat out several mouthfuls of black blood.
The middle-aged giant man asked, "What happened?"
"Quick..."
Before the old woman could finish, Su Mo had already run up to them, warily asking, "Huh? Where did so many people come from?"
Immediately after, he saw the severely injured Evil King and his men.
Su Mo asked in confusion, "What are the three of you doing lying on the ground?"
"Cough! Cough!"
The Evil King coughed up blood and pointed at the short old man’s group. "Sire, we were useless. They injured us while we were acting as your Protector."
"What?"
Su Mo was instantly enraged.
The Evil King struggled to get up from the ground. "Sire, please don’t be angry. We can still fight... Cough! Cough..."
THUMP!
The Evil King fell heavily to the ground and said guiltily, "Sire, I..."
"Don’t talk for now. Just lie there quietly."
Su Mo’s eyes blazed with fire as he stared at the short old man and his group. "So it was you. You injured my servants while I was having my Breakthrough?"
"That’s right, it was us!"
The middle-aged giant man looked at Su Mo with utter disdain.
’What bullshit servants!’
’He’s so young, but he’s already a master at posturing.’
Su Mo said in a frosty voice, "And do you know the consequences?"
"What bullshit consequences could there be!"
The middle-aged giant man said contemptuously, "Kid, let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t act tough in front of me, or I’ll beat you to death."
SMACK!
Just as he was about to make a move on Su Mo, the old woman grabbed his ankle and said in terror, "Don’t... Don’t provoke him."
"What do you mean?"
the middle-aged giant man asked, confused.
The old woman coughed violently. "He... He’s very strong."
What?
The middle-aged giant man looked in shock at the old woman who was coughing up blood and asked, "Don’t tell me... it was this kid who injured you?"
The old woman nodded heavily.
Hiss...
The middle-aged giant man sucked in a sharp breath, looking at Su Mo with utter disbelief.
Being able to injure the old woman meant that Su Mo’s strength was immense.
The middle-aged giant man asked, "Could it be... you’re the Blood Demon Evil Demon?"
"I am not!"
Su Mo answered decisively.
"You’re not?"
The middle-aged giant man studied Su Mo carefully and found that he didn’t have a trace of Evil Qi on him.
"So you’re not the Blood Demon Evil Demon."
The middle-aged giant man let out a breath and completely relaxed.
He had thought Su Mo was the Blood Demon, which had scared him into a cold sweat.
But as it turned out, Su Mo wasn’t.
He had been frightened for nothing.
The middle-aged giant man wiped away his cold sweat and said, "Since you’re not the Blood Demon Evil Demon, then we have no reason to be afraid of you. Kid, have you figured out how you want to die?"
"Cough! Cough..."
When the old woman heard this, she was so agitated she nearly coughed up her heart.
She wanted to remind the middle-aged giant man that while the person before them wasn’t the Blood Demon Evil Demon, he was several times more powerful.
However, she was already too weak to speak.
