Chapter 243: Terrifying Physical Body
The old woman lay on the ground, spitting blood, as she watched the middle-aged giant dig his own grave.
She wanted to stop him but lacked the strength.
In the end, she simply closed her eyes.
Faced with the giant’s question, Su Mo couldn’t help but roll his eyes. "Why would I think about how I want to die?"
He was only eighteen this year, unbelievably young.
It was a little early to be thinking about ways to die.
He had a long, glorious life of leisure ahead of him. Why on earth would he be thinking about his death now?
"You don’t want to die? Heh, that’s not up to you!"
The middle-aged giant walked up to Su Mo, held out a finger, and said, "Kid, see this finger? If I wanted, I could poke a hole in your forehead with it anytime."
"Is that so?"
Su Mo smiled. "Since you’re so confident, why don’t you give it a try?"
Hm?
The middle-aged giant froze.
’Doesn’t this kid have any sense of self-preservation?’
’He’s actually telling me to give it a try?’
’Can I really just "try" it?’
He was, after all, a master at the Martial King Great Perfection Realm. His Finger Force could not only shatter stone tablets but could even pierce the void.
If he aimed for someone’s forehead and poked, they would die without a doubt.
’Damn it!’
’This kid must be insane. Otherwise, he wouldn’t say something so crazy.’
"Hmph!"
The middle-aged giant snorted coldly. "Since you’re so insistent on dying, I’ll grant your wish. I’ll put a hole in your forehead, right through to the back of your skull, and give you a nice, chilling sensation."
With that, the middle-aged giant raised his finger, which glinted with a cold light, and jabbed it forcefully toward Su Mo’s forehead.
CRACK!
The sound of a bone breaking rang out.
The onlookers heard the sound and all sneered.
"Heh heh, and I thought this kid had some skills. Turns out his forehead was pierced right through."
"Did he really think his forehead was made of cement?"
"Even if it were forged from steel, it wouldn’t have been enough."
The crowd spoke with disdain.
But just then...
A wretched cry came from the middle-aged giant’s mouth. "Ah, my finger! It’s broken!"
"What?"
The crowd stared in astonishment at the pale-faced giant.
The middle-aged giant’s finger... was actually broken?
What was going on?
The middle-aged giant cradled his broken finger, trembling. "You... You cheated!"
"How did I cheat?"
Su Mo asked, speechless.
’This guy wanted to poke my forehead himself, and now he’s turning around and accusing me of cheating.’
’Damn it, does he have no sense of reason?’
The middle-aged giant endured the pain and said, "You did cheat! Your forehead has been trained through some special method. Its hardness is comparable to steel! You deliberately tricked me into poking your forehead and broke my finger!"
"That just means your finger isn’t hard enough."
Su Mo suggested, "Why don’t you try something else? Like a Stone or a Spiritual Soldier? Try smashing one of those on my forehead."
"Use a Spiritual Soldier?"
The middle-aged giant was dumbfounded.
The hunchbacked youth stepped forward. "Let me go this time."
"You? Fine!"
Su Mo agreed without a second thought.
The hunchbacked youth walked up to Su Mo and took out a black dagger. "This dagger of mine was forged from Deep Sea Cold Iron. It’s invincible. Even if you’re a Body Refining Martial Artist, you won’t be able to block it."
"Oh?"
Su Mo’s interest was piqued.
The hunchbacked youth continued, "Not only that, my dagger is also coated with a paralyzing poison. As long as it breaks your skin, you’ll lose all your strength to the poison and be at my mercy."
The hunchbacked youth pointed to Gu Tong, Gubo, and the Evil King lying on the ground.
The three of them had been struck by his poison and were unable to get up.
"Kid, it’s not too late to regret this. Once I make my move, you’ll be lying on the ground, trampled mercilessly by me."
The hunchbacked youth looked at Su Mo arrogantly.
He thought Su Mo would back down.
But who would have thought...
...Su Mo would say excitedly, "I get it, your dagger is amazing. Stop talking and just stab my forehead with it already."
"Huh?"
The crowd was dumbfounded.
The hunchbacked youth was equally dumbfounded.
He had explained it all clearly enough. Not only did this kid not regret his decision, but he was actually getting excited, unable to wait to be stabbed.
’Damn it!’
’He’s looking down on me!’
The hunchbacked youth stared at Su Mo like a viper and roared, "Where did you crawl out from, you little punk? I’ll fucking kill you!"
SHING!
A cold glint of light tore through the air and landed precisely on Su Mo’s forehead.
However, the next second, the hunchbacked youth was stunned.
The dagger in his hand was pressed firmly against Su Mo’s forehead, but no matter how hard he pushed, he couldn’t pierce it.
He couldn’t even break the skin.
Then, Su Mo gently pushed his forehead forward, and a crack appeared on the black dagger.
CLINK!
A broken piece fell to the ground with a crisp, metallic sound.
"It broke?"
The hunchbacked youth’s face was full of disbelief.
His dagger was forged from Deep Sea Cold Iron and was incredibly hard, yet someone had shattered it with their forehead.
’How is that possible?’
The hunchbacked youth looked up at Su Mo, his arrogant expression instantly vanishing, replaced by terror.
The short old man said angrily, "Hey, can you two stop holding back?"
"Holding back?"
The hunchbacked youth looked at the short old man in fury.
’Are you fucking blind?’
’I used my full strength! How was that holding back?’
The short old man cursed, "Fucking useless trash. Two Martial King Great Perfection masters can’t even handle a little brat. Looks like I have to clean up your mess."
"Kid, if you’ve got the guts, let me have a go at your forehead too!"
The short old man walked toward Su Mo.
Su Mo frowned. "Do you all think my forehead is a stone? Why does everyone want to take a poke at it?"
"Heh heh, the kid’s finally scared!"
The short old man gave a cold smile and, without waiting for Su Mo’s agreement, took out a black Wolf Fang Club and swung it viciously at Su Mo’s head.
The Wolf Fang Club was covered in spikes.
If this hit someone, they would definitely be smashed to a pulp.
BOOM!
The Wolf Fang Club slammed heavily onto Su Mo’s forehead and exploded into pieces.
The short old man was dumbfounded.
His Wolf Fang Club was a heavy weapon, its hardness surpassing even the hunchbacked youth’s dagger. Not even a Tier Six Demon King could withstand it.
And yet, it had exploded into pieces.
"You..."
The short old man looked at Su Mo in disbelief, his eyes filled with fear.
He had originally thought the middle-aged giant and the hunchbacked youth were holding back against Su Mo.
Now it seemed that wasn’t the case at all.
’This guy’s forehead is harder than steel—a hundred times harder! He’s a monster!’
"Hey, old man, why did you hit my forehead?"
Su Mo yelled at the short old man.
He had agreed to let the middle-aged giant and the hunchbacked youth hit his forehead to test his physical strength, but he hadn’t given the old man permission.
In an instant, Su Mo was furious.
BOOM!
A terrifying chill descended upon the short old man.
The short old man was startled. A cold sweat broke out all over his body as he scrambled backward, shouting in terror, "Run! This kid is an Evil Demon!"
He had mistaken Su Mo for an Evil Demon.
Because in his experience, no human’s physical body could be so tyrannical that it could easily shatter even a Tier Six Spiritual Soldier. It was beyond his comprehension.
"Did I say you could leave?"
Su Mo reached out to grab the short old man.
