Su Mo was stunned.
’Who the fuck wants to get revenge on you?’
Wei Zhengyang closed in on Su Mo.
Xiao Zhan blocked Su Mo, shouting, "Wei Zhengyang, what do you think you’re doing? This is the Xiao Family! It’s not a place for you to run wild!"
"Get lost!"
With a casual strike, Wei Zhengyang sent Xiao Zhan reeling.
Xiao Zhan stumbled back, struggling to regain his footing. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in shock, "Martial Master Great Perfection!"
Wei Zhengyang said with cold arrogance, "That’s right. I reached the Great Perfection Realm of a Martial Master long ago. Don’t even mention yourself; even if your entire Xiao Family came at me together, you’d still be no match for me."
Xiao Zhan’s expression was grim.
He was only a Mid Stage Martial Artist, and the three Elders in the hall were only at the Early Stage. If Wei Zhengyang wanted to kill someone, none of them could stop him.
Wei Zhengyang had the power to take on the entire Xiao Family by himself.
Wei Zhengyang said with a vicious expression, "Kill Su Mo and marry your daughter to Young Master Zhou. Do that, and everything will be fine. Otherwise..."
With a dark expression, Xiao Zhan asked, "Otherwise what?"
Wei Zhengyang pressed on menacingly, "Otherwise, I will go on a rampage and annihilate every last member of your Xiao Family. I will erase the Xiao Family from Qingyang City for good."
Such vicious methods!
Xiao Zhan was filled with such rage it felt like his chest would explode.
Xiao Zhan roared, "Wei Zhengyang, don’t push us too far! Even if I die fighting today, I won’t let you lay a single finger on Su Mo."
Su Mo was the last of his sworn brother’s bloodline. He couldn’t possibly stand by and watch Su Mo be killed.
He had to protect Su Mo, even if it cost him his life!
"The Patriarch is right! Even if we die here today, we won’t let you run rampant in the Xiao Family’s halls!"
"A true man must have an unyielding will! The people of the Xiao Family would rather die on their feet than live on their knees! Wei Zhengyang, don’t even think you can coerce us!"
Grand Elder Xiao Feng spoke with righteous fury, "Su Mo, you and Qingxue must leave first! We old-timers will hold Wei Zhengyang back. Once you’ve grown strong in your cultivation, you can avenge us and the Patriarch!"
Su Mo was deeply moved.
According to his predecessor’s memories, the members of the Xiao Family had never been particularly fond of him. Yet today, they were all willing to die for him. It was incredibly moving.
Xiao Zhan urged, "We old men can only hold him off for about fifteen minutes. Use that time! You and Qingxue need to run, as far as you can! Any later and it’ll be too late!"
Looking at the earnest Xiao Zhan, Su Mo scratched his head. "Father-in-law, maybe Qingxue and I don’t have to run. And maybe you and the Elders don’t have to die."
Hm?
Xiao Zhan was completely bewildered.
Su Mo pointed at Wei Zhengyang and said nonchalantly, "If we just kill him, then everything will be fine, won’t it?"
’Kill Wei Zhengyang?’
Xiao Zhan was completely floored!
’Wei Zhengyang is an expert at the Great Perfection of the Martial Master Realm, qualified to break through to become a Grand Martial Artist. Even the entire Xiao Family combined can’t beat him.’
’Could it be... Su Mo plans to kill Wei Zhengyang himself?’
’No way!’
Under Xiao Zhan’s stunned gaze, Su Mo walked up to Wei Zhengyang and said calmly, "Make your move. I’ll only give you one chance."
Although Wei Zhengyang was an expert at the Great Perfection of the Martial Master Realm, Su Mo couldn’t sense any real strength from him.
’On the contrary, he feels incredibly weak, no different from an ant. I could crush him with a single swat!’
Wei Zhengyang said with contempt, "A mere ant dares to think it can fight me? Fine. Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll grant your wish today."
SWISH!
Wei Zhengyang summoned a longsword. With a light flick of his wrist, countless rays of light shot out from the blade, converging into a single, brilliant torrent.
The very air seemed to split in two.
"That’s... Famous Sword Manor’s Void Shattering Great Sword Technique!"
"Such terrifying power!"
"Su Mo, watch out!"
Sensing the terrifying power of the Sword Move Wei Zhengyang had unleashed, the expressions of Xiao Zhan and the others changed drastically, and they hurriedly cried out a warning to Su Mo.
Su Mo’s expression remained indifferent.
’This technique might look impressive to an ordinary person, but to me, it’s riddled with flaws. It can’t possibly harm me.’
’True Dragon Supreme Technique!’
With a silent cry in his heart, a vast torrent of Spiritual Qi erupted from Su Mo’s body like a surging river. It gathered in his palm as he raised his hand and casually swatted at Wei Zhengyang.
Su Mo didn’t even use his full strength for this strike.
What!
’Su Mo is actually trying to block Wei Zhengyang’s Sword Move with his bare hand?’
Everyone was shocked.
Wei Zhengyang laughed menacingly. "Heh, I’ve seen people with a death wish, but I’ve never seen anyone as eager as you! Die!"
Though his words were dismissive, his actions quickened, and the power behind his Sword Move intensified significantly.
BOOM!
The dense Palm Seal of Spiritual Qi slammed down. The sword light was instantly extinguished, and the longsword in Wei Zhengyang’s hand shattered with a CRACK.
"What? Su Mo blocked Wei Zhengyang’s Sword Move and even shattered his sword! How did he do that?"
"His strength is terrifying!"
Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded.
No one could have imagined that Su Mo’s strength would be so immense. He was like a monster.
Wei Zhengyang cried out in terror, "Impossible! You’re only at the Great Perfection of the Martial Disciple realm! How can you have such terrifying power?"
"Nothing is impossible."
Su Mo said calmly, "I told you, I would only give you one chance to try to kill me. Now, it’s my turn to kill you."
BAM!
Before Wei Zhengyang could react, a Palm Seal made of Spiritual Qi slammed squarely into him, instantly smashing him into a bloody pulp.
The ground beneath him was shattered.
Wei Zhengyang was embedded in the cracked earth like a gruesome painting, a truly horrific sight.
At that moment, the entire hall fell silent. The only sound was the ragged breathing of those present.
Wei Zhengyang, a warrior at the Great Perfection of the Martial Master Realm, on the verge of becoming a Grand Martial Artist—a man the entire Xiao Family combined could not withstand—had been killed by Su Mo with a single slap.
It was simply too absurd to believe!
Xiao Qingxue was utterly speechless.
She had thought that awakening her Void Spirit Body made her one of the top geniuses in the Desolate Empire. She never imagined that Su Mo was an even greater genius.
Xiao Qingxue gave a bitter smile. "So, I was the one who married up after all."
Zhou Tianhai had been scared witless for some time now.
Seeing Su Mo walking toward him, Zhou Tianhai trembled from head to toe. "A misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding!"
Su Mo cursed, "Misunderstanding my ass."
’If this is a misunderstanding, then if I go to the Zhou Family estate tomorrow and slaughter everyone, would that also be a misunderstanding?’
Zhou Tianhai gritted his teeth and threatened, "Su Mo, I’m warning you! I am the Young Master of the Zhou Family, its future heir! If you dare kill me, the Zhou Family will never let you get away with it!"
Su Mo said coldly, "Killing you? That’d be letting you off too easy."
BAM!
Su Mo kicked Zhou Tianhai in the stomach, sending him flying several meters. The Spiritual Qi in his body began to dissipate rapidly, and his cultivation vanished.
Trembling, Zhou Tianhai stammered, "You... you crippled me?"
In the Martial Arts World, where the strong ruled, crippling someone’s ability to cultivate was the ultimate punishment—a fate worse than death.
Su Mo had shattered his Dantian with that kick. Though still alive, Zhou Tianhai was as good as dead.
How ruthless!
The eyelids of the Xiao Family members twitched violently.
With his Dantian shattered and his cultivation gone, his life was over. It didn’t matter that he was the Young Master of a prominent family from the Imperial City.
Su Mo said coldly, "I’m not killing you because I want you to live and see what happens next—whether your Zhou Family gets their revenge on me, or whether I annihilate your Zhou Family."
