Chapter 334: Locusts Passing Through

"You’re asking me for an explanation?"

Su Mo stared coldly at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man held his head high. "That’s right. You just slapped me, which is the same as slapping the Nian Family. You can’t afford the consequences."

In that moment, the man’s terrified expression vanished, replaced by sheer arrogance.

Because their Second Elder had arrived.

All of the Nian Family’s experts were standing beside him as well, backing him up. He wasn’t afraid of anything now.

The middle-aged man threatened, "If you want to live, you’ll get on your knees and lick my shoes. If you dare show me the slightest disrespect again, you’ll have to..."

He was about to say that if Su Mo didn’t kneel and lick his shoes, he would have to die.

But before he could finish his sentence...

SLAP!

Su Mo slapped him across the face again, knocking him to the ground and sending blood spraying from his mouth.

Then, Su Mo kicked him hard twice more.

In this life, the one thing Su Mo hated most was being threatened.

"You..."

The middle-aged man stared at Su Mo, dumbfounded. He never would have dreamed that Su Mo would dare to strike him again.

The others were stunned as well.

Their Nian Family’s Second Elder was right here. How did Su Mo still dare to attack?

Su Mo said, "Is this explanation good enough for you?"

The middle-aged man’s face was grim and cold.

’Of course not!’

’The explanation I wanted was for Su Mo to kneel and lick my shoes, not get slapped in the face.’

The middle-aged man said viciously, "You’re dead meat. You dared to attack someone in front of our Nian Family’s Second Elder. Not even the Celestial King himself could save you now."

"Second Elder, kill this brat, quickly!"

"Fuck, this kid is really putting on airs! Daring to act all high and mighty at the Nian Family’s gate. We have to tear him limb from limb."

"Cripple him first, then torture him to death slowly."

The members of the Nian Family were incandescent with rage.

Nian Geng said in a cold voice, "Brat, you see this? Everyone in our Nian Family is furious. They want to tear you to pieces."

"Then you should all come at me at once," Su Mo said indifferently.

Hearing this, Nian Geng froze on the spot.

’All at once?’

’I’m a Martial Emperor Level expert, and behind me are nearly a hundred Martial Kings and almost a thousand Martial Monarchs.’

’Forget attacking him together; if they each just spat on him, they could drown him.’

’Fuck! The sheer arrogance of this kid!’

Nian Geng’s voice was chilling. "Brat, who exactly are you? On second thought, don’t answer. You’re about to die anyway."

’I have no interest in a dead man’s name.’

However, Su Mo just urged him on, "Hurry up and make your move. After we wipe out your Nian Family, we have to go wipe out the next one."

’There are over a dozen families from Qingyang City we have to get revenge on. I can’t waste too much time here.’

"What did you say?"

"Wipe out your Nian Family."

"Brat, you’re courting death!"

Veins bulged on Nian Geng’s forehead. He was utterly enraged. An explosive aura burst from his body as he took a fierce step forward.

BOOM!

The very heavens and earth trembled violently under Nian Geng’s immense power.

Immediately after, everyone from the Nian Family stepped forward.

RUMBLE!

Countless powerful auras shot into the sky, shaking the world.

Nian Geng gritted his teeth. "Our Nian Family has always been benevolent, and it’s been a long time since we’ve had to go on a massacre. It seems the world has forgotten how terrifying we can be, thinking we’re some pushover. Now, it’s time to reveal our family’s true ferocity."

"Is everyone out now? Good. I’ll finish you all in one move. It’ll save me the time of killing you one by one."

Su Mo drew a longsword.

"Kill him!"

Nian Geng let out a furious roar, preparing to attack with everyone to suppress Su Mo.

However, a flash of sword light swept past.

SCHLICK!

The heads of everyone from the Nian Family fell to the ground.

"This..."

Nian Geng’s gaze fell upon a headless body, still standing. It looked incredibly familiar, as if it were his own.

Then, he saw countless more standing, headless corpses.

In the next second, he was horrified.

’All these headless corpses... they all belong to the Nian Family!’

’Everyone from our Nian Family... really got killed in one move?’

Nian Geng’s eyelids twitched as he looked at Su Mo, his face a mask of shock.

’I regret not letting him tell me his name.’

In the end, he would die without ever knowing who had annihilated his Nian Family.

’When did our Nian Family ever offend such a terrifying existence?’

As a series of questions flashed through his mind, Nian Geng slowly closed his eyes, dying with a grievance.

SWISH!

The sword light swept across the land, slicing the entire Nian Family estate in half.

The Second Elder shouted, "Young Master, don’t be so ruthless! You’ve cut all our Treasure in half!"

"What?"

Su Mo was a little confused.

The Second Elder walked up to the severed gatehouse, lamenting, "Such fine Spiritual Materials, all sliced in two! Young Master, we still haven’t found the building materials for Qingyang City’s new gate!"

"You have a point. I’ll be gentler next time."

Su Mo nodded.

The Second Elder shouted to the crowd, "Don’t just stand there gawking, start moving! Sweeping Monk, you too! Take anything that’s worth a damn. If it doesn’t fit in your Storage Rings, use sacks!"

"What?"

Zhuge Su didn’t understand what the Second Elder meant.

The Second Elder pried a few bricks from the Nian Family’s main gate and said, "See these bricks? These are forged from Top Grade ore! Each one is worth more than ten Spirit Stones. We’re tearing them all down to build a new city gate for you to sweep."

"..."

Zhuge Su was utterly dumbfounded.

’They’re even going to take things worth a measly dozen Spirit Stones?’

’Are these guys fucking bandits?’

Even bandits would only take valuable items; they wouldn’t even glance at these wall bricks.

At their Realm, they could handle hundreds of millions of Spirit Stones without batting an eye. They couldn’t be bothered to even look at Treasures worth a mere dozen or so Spirit Stones.

And now, they were supposed to haul it all back.

The Second Elder explained, "Don’t look down on these worthless things. If you accumulate enough of them, it adds up to a lot."

The corner of Zhuge Su’s mouth twitched violently a few times.

When he turned his head, he saw that the Xiao Family disciples had already swarmed into the Nian Family estate. Some were tearing down buildings, others were digging up the ground.

"Hey, what are you digging up the dirt for?"

Zhuge Su asked.

Xiao Lang replied, "Elder Zhuge, this is all Spirit Soil! A single kilogram is worth several dozen Spirit Stones. It’s even more valuable than the wall bricks."

Zhuge Su’s face darkened.

’This isn’t an invitation to get rich; this is a summons to work as a demolition coolie!’

Under his watchful eye, in just over ten minutes, the entire Nian Family estate was stripped bare, leaving nothing but an empty lot.

"The Nian Family was truly unlucky to have provoked you all," Zhuge Su remarked, feigning sympathy.

He had to wonder if these people were a swarm of locusts in human form. Wherever they passed, nothing was left.

"Hey, who dismantled their latrine?"

"It wasn’t me."

"I didn’t do it either!"

"You didn’t? Then how did their latrine disappear?"

"You people are deranged! Are you going to make them relieve themselves naked in the wilderness?"

"But they’re all dead. They don’t need to use the latrine."

Su Mo was speechless. "From now on, dismantling people’s latrines is forbidden. If anyone sees this, they’ll think we’re dung beetles moving house."

"Let’s hurry on to the next family."

The Second Elder took out a map. "Let this old man see which family is closest. They’ll be the next unlucky soul."
