Is that all?
Wei Wuya’s face was ashen.
He had struggled with his Cultivation for half his life to reach the Late Stage Grand Martial Artist Realm, but in this person’s eyes, he was less than nothing!
And the other party was just a junior!
Little did he know, Su Mo’s strength was more than enough to swat him dead!
The only reason he was left half-dead was because the Cyan Cloud Sparrow was a neat freak and didn’t like eating dead people.
Having witnessed Su Mo’s power, the brown-robed elder knew he couldn’t afford to offend him. He took a deep breath and stepped forward to mediate. "As the saying goes, it’s better to resolve grievances than to create them. Young master, could you perhaps do me the small favor of..."
"Get lost!"
Su Mo stared coldly at the brown-robed elder.
’Who is this old bastard?’
’Do I know you?’
’Why should I give you any face!’
The brown-robed elder was stunned. He clearly hadn’t expected Su Mo to be so tyrannical and rude as to tell him to get lost!
’So arrogant!’
’And so insolent!’
The brown-robed elder’s face darkened. "I intended to speak with you civilly and resolve the enmity between you and Famous Sword Manor. Who knew you would be so ungrateful? In that case, don’t blame me for being impolite."
BOOM!
The brown-robed elder’s power erupted!
Like Wei Wuya, the brown-robed elder was also in the Late Stage Grand Martial Artist Realm. However, having broken through a few years earlier than Wei Wuya, his strength far surpassed him.
The brown-robed elder’s aura was exceptionally terrifying, nearing Grandmaster Perfection.
And yet, Su Mo merely flicked a finger.
’Hm?’
Seeing Su Mo look down on him so, the rage in the brown-robed elder’s heart burned even hotter. He mobilized all his power and sent a fierce palm strike flying toward Su Mo!
He would make Su Mo pay the price for his arrogance!
However...
BANG!
A muffled boom echoed through the area, and a cloud of blood mist appeared before everyone’s eyes!
HISS...
The brown-robed elder grimaced in pain. He glanced to his side and saw that his arm was gone.
The brown-robed elder was instantly horrified!
’No wonder he was so arrogant! His strength is beyond my comprehension!’
The others were dumbfounded too!
’A single flick of a finger, and the brown-robed elder’s arm was gone!’
’What kind of monstrous power is this?!’
’Could he be in the Martial Monarch Realm?’
Su Mo asked, "Still want me to give you face?"
The brown-robed elder lowered his head. "I wouldn’t dare!"
At this moment, he was filled with infinite regret. He knew he never should have provoked Su Mo!
But it was too late for all that!
His right arm was already gone.
With the brown-robed elder serving as a warning, Wu Sha and Elder Li didn’t dare to make a move. They just stood there, trembling!
The arrogance on their faces had vanished completely!
Judging by his aura, Su Mo was indeed in the Martial Apprentice Realm.
But his strength...
At that moment, the Cyan Cloud Sparrow was also filled with emotion!
’Su Mo is already this terrifying in the Martial Apprentice Realm. What will happen when he breaks through to the Samurai Realm?’
The Cyan Cloud Sparrow didn’t dare to even imagine it!
’As far as I know, Su Mo has already gathered enough materials. He just needs to get the Extreme Yang Spirit Stone from the great tomb of the Beast Taming Sect, and then he can break through. When that happens...’
’Should I go or stay?’
For a moment, the Cyan Cloud Sparrow couldn’t make up its mind!
According to their agreement, its job was to escort Su Mo back to the Beast Taming Sect, after which it would be free. But that would also mean losing a powerful backer. And then... that Old Loach would surely eat it.
The Cyan Cloud Sparrow resolved itself. ’No way. I have to find a way to stay by Master’s side. But what if Master doesn’t think I’m worthy?’
After all, Su Mo had even looked down on the Ink Flood Dragon, a Bloodline Divine Beast that had undergone a Secondary Awakening!
And it was just an ordinary Demon Beast!
The Cyan Cloud Sparrow was getting a headache!
Su Mo swept his gaze over the brown-robed elder and the others. "Don’t say I’m bullying you or not giving you a chance to live. Anyone not affiliated with Famous Sword Manor has thirty seconds to leave. Otherwise, I will grant no mercy!"
WHOOSH!
The brown-robed elder and the others turned and fled!
Soon, only the half-dead Wei Wuya and his men were left in Famous Sword Manor.
Wei Wuya struggled to his feet, then knelt before Su Mo. "Lord Su, in the past, we at Famous Sword Manor were blind and failed to recognize your greatness. We have offended you, my lord. Please forgive us! Famous Sword Manor is willing to submit to you, Senior, and become your servants."
"Yes, we are all willing to submit!"
Everyone from Famous Sword Manor knelt!
Though they would lose their freedom by becoming servants, it was better than being dead! However, Su Mo refused. "Sorry, I don’t accept trash as servants."
What!
Wei Wuya’s face turned livid!
He had prepared for every possibility, except for being rejected.
Wei Wuya pleaded again, "Lord Su, your strength is immense, but you are still just one person. With servants like us, we could save you from a lot of trouble. Please, my lord, reconsider!"
"If the Heaven-Suppressing King were kneeling here, begging me to take him as my servant, I might consider it. But you? Just forget it," Su Mo refused again.
’As long as you’re powerful enough, you can have as many servants as you want.’
Su Mo didn’t need someone like Wei Wuya.
Besides, Wei Wuya had committed an unforgivable crime!
Su Mo said, "Little Queque, the rest are yours!"
"Yes!"
The Cyan Cloud Sparrow joyfully pounced on Wei Wuya!
It had been so long since it had eaten a Grand Martial Artist!
AHHH...
Wei Wuya screamed as the Cyan Cloud Sparrow swallowed him, chewing him to pieces with a sickening CRUNCH of bones.
The Cyan Cloud Sparrow said with satisfaction, "Grand Martial Artists are still the tastiest!"
Then, the Cyan Cloud Sparrow pounced on the others.
One bite, one person!
Not far away, the brown-robed elder and the others stared, their eyes wide with shock!
Su Mo didn’t even have to act personally. The Cyan Cloud Sparrow alone had annihilated Famous Sword Manor, reducing it to ruins.
’How brutal!’
The brown-robed elder sighed. "Was Famous Sword Manor insane? To think they would offend such a major figure!"
As soon as he said it, everyone turned to look at the brown-robed elder!
The brown-robed elder said awkwardly, "I must be insane too!"
"You’re already very lucky!"
Elder Li patted the brown-robed elder’s shoulder.
The brown-robed elder nodded in agreement!
He had lost an arm, but at least he was still alive!
The brown-robed elder said resolutely, "After I return, I will enter death seclusion. I swear I will not emerge until I break through to the Martial Monarch Realm!"
"Me too!"
Elder Li chimed in.
Wu Sha shook his head. "Death seclusion can keep you safe, but you’ll also miss the show. Just watch, *that* person will definitely make a move!"
’That person... the Heaven-Suppressing King?’
The Heaven-Suppressing King was incredibly ambitious. He not only wanted to ascend to the throne of the Desolate Empire’s Emperor, but he also wanted to replace the Beast Taming Sect and become the leader of the Eighteen Kingdoms.
Therefore, the Heaven-Suppressing King could never tolerate Su Mo’s existence!
The brown-robed elder sneered, "Heh, even if the Heaven-Suppressing King breaks through to Martial Monarch, he’ll be kicking an iron plate. We’ll just have to wait and see!"
After smashing Famous Sword Manor to ruins, the Cyan Cloud Sparrow came before Su Mo and asked, "My lord, where are we going next?"
"To the Imperial City!"
"CHIRP!"
The Cyan Cloud Sparrow shot straight for the Imperial City!
「Imperial City.」
In a dark, gloomy hall, dozens of Soul Lamps burned!
Beneath them sat an elder dressed in black.
PFFT!
One of the Soul Lamps suddenly went out!
The black-robed elder opened his eyes, perplexed. "Hm? Why is the Celestial Defect Blade Master, who went to Qingyang City to carry out an annihilation mission, dead?"
