Chapter 339: This Is the Real Monster

Su Mo stared at the four elders, his face alight with excitement.

This was the most powerful lineup he had ever seen.

’Worthy opponents!’

However, the four elders couldn’t be bothered with Su Mo. Instead, they all turned and fixed their gazes on Zhuge Su.

One of the elders berated him. "Zhuge Su, you have some nerve! How dare you help a villain, siding with an outsider against our Haoyue Sect? Do you have a death wish?"

"My apologies, but I’m not here to oppose you."

Zhuge Su said indifferently.

The elder frowned. "Then what are you here for?"

Zhuge Su answered, "I was brought here by the Xiao Family’s Second Elder to get rich. Everything happening here has nothing to do with me."

"Get rich?"

The elder was stunned.

No wonder Zhuge Su was carrying a burlap sack and wearing over twenty Storage Rings, constantly stuffing them with treasures from the Golden Sun Sect.

’So he really was just invited here to get rich.’

The elder warned, "Zhuge Su, since we’re acquainted, I advise you to take your treasures and leave immediately. Don’t get yourself burned. It’s not worth it."

"We can’t let him leave."

Xiong Buyu interjected, "Even if he’s to leave, he has to leave behind the treasures belonging to our Golden Sun Sect."

BAM!

With a flick of his sleeve, the elder sent Xiong Buyu staggering back and sneered, "Since when do you have the right to interrupt me when I’m speaking?"

"You..."

Xiong Buyu glared at the elder, seething with rage.

’So tyrannical.’

But he was helpless. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only swallow his anger.

The elder said icily, "Zhuge Su, aren’t you going to leave?"

"I refuse!"

Zhuge Su declared.

"What did you say?"

The elder was stunned right then and there.

He had been kind enough to let Zhuge Su leave with the treasures he’d plundered, yet who would have thought Zhuge Su would be so disrespectful and insist on staying?

’Isn’t this just a slap in the face?’

The elder’s voice turned cold. "Fine. Since you refuse to leave, I’ll have to treat you as Su’s accomplice and kill you along with him."

Zhuge Su gave the elder a strange look.

’Killing me, I could understand.’

’After all, I’m only at the Late Stage Martial Emperor realm, while he’s a Half-Step Martial Venerable Level expert who could crush me with ease.’

’But killing Su Mo...?’

Zhuge Su’s expression turned serious. "Let me offer you a piece of kind advice as well. If you kneel and sincerely apologize right now, you might have a chance to live. Any later, and it’ll be too late."

"Huh?"

The elder stared blankly for a moment, then sneered, "Zhuge Su, have you lost your mind? Telling me to kneel and apologize?"

’We have four Half-Step Martial Venerable Level experts.’

’And Li Kun is here, too.’

’It’s no exaggeration to say that Li Kun’s strength alone is equal to the combined strength of the four of us.’

’Our lineup is terrifyingly strong.’

The elder said arrogantly, "I’d like to ask you, besides Elder Li Kun, who here is capable of killing me?"

"I am!"

Su Mo said.

"You?"

The elder looked at Su Mo, his face a mask of astonishment.

’I just asked casually. I didn’t expect someone to actually step forward and claim they could kill me.’

’What shameless boasting.’

Su Mo said impatiently, "Yes, me. Can you stop wasting time? All four of you can come at me at once. This young master will take you on."

"What an arrogant brat."

"Damn it! In all my years, I’ve never been so humiliated."

"This kid is courting death!"

The elder shot Su Mo a vicious glare, then turned to the three other elders and said, "Let’s attack together and kill this brat."

"Agreed!"

the three said in unison.

They refused to believe that with their combined strength as four Half-Step Martial Venerable Level experts, they couldn’t take down one boy with the surname Su.

RUMBLE!

The four men’s Cultivation erupted simultaneously, the force of it surging toward the heavens. Like four demonic gods, they charged at Su Mo from all directions.

Su Mo prepared to strike as well.

Suddenly, the Second Elder behind him shouted, "Young Master, I’m begging you, please go easy on them!"

"..."

Everyone stared speechlessly at the Second Elder.

’This is a battle to the death, and the Second Elder is asking Su Mo to go easy on them? Is he out of his mind?’

What was even more unexpected was that Su Mo actually agreed.

"Fine."

Su Mo knew what the Second Elder meant. He said nonchalantly, "I was planning to kill you all with a single slap. But since the Second Elder asked me to be gentle, I’ll just snap your necks instead. That way, I can leave you with intact corpses."

With that, Su Mo vanished from where he stood.

’Where did he go?’

The four elders’ hearts lurched in alarm, and they frantically scanned their surroundings for any sign of Su Mo.

The next second, Su Mo’s hand was wrapped around one of the elder’s necks. He gave it a gentle squeeze.

CRACK!

The elder’s neck snapped.

Seeing this, everyone nearby turned pale with fright, their faces contorting in terror.

’That was a Half-Step Martial Venerable!’

’Killed in an instant. Just like that.’

THUD!

Su Mo dropped the corpse and vanished again.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

All anyone heard was a quick succession of snapping sounds, and then three more corpses lay on the ground.

By then, Su Mo had already returned to his original spot.

It was as if he hadn’t moved at all.

For a moment, a deathly silence fell over the area, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stood rooted to the spot, dumbstruck. Their faces were etched with disbelief; they simply couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

’Four Half-Step Martial Venerables... had their necks snapped just like that?’

’It didn’t even take a full second.’

Even the powerful Li Kun, the Blood Slaughter Hand, was standing there dumbfounded, as if he had just seen a ghost.

"Hey, did any of you see how the Young Master attacked?"

"Didn’t see a thing!"

"But I’m sure of it, the Young Master just used the True Dragon Supreme Body Technique. Tsk, tsk... his status is just on another level."

"If I could cultivate the True Dragon Supreme Body Technique to the Young Master’s level, I’d be laughing in my sleep."

"You’d have to be daydreaming."

"Hahaha!"

The members of the Xiao Family laughed.

Zhuge Su shook his head in resignation.

He had already warned the four of them to kneel and apologize, but they had insisted on courting death. In the end, Su Mo insta-killed them.

’How pathetic.’

With his hands clasped behind his back, Su Mo walked up to Li Kun. "It’s your turn."

"I..."

Li Kun involuntarily took two steps back.

Xiong Buyu and Hu the Second watched in a daze.

’Someone as strong as Li Kun was actually frightened into retreating by Su Mo.’

’Was he really that terrifying?’

Only Li Kun knew what was happening.

’As Su Mo walked toward me with his hands clasped behind his back, it was like a colossal beast approaching, and I am as insignificant as an ant.’

’Faced with an expert of this caliber, I am utterly powerless.’

’All I can do is wait for death!’

Su Mo said, "If you’re not going to make the first move, then I will. True Dragon Supreme Swordsmanship."

SWISH!

A sliver of sword light pierced Li Kun’s forehead. He fell backward, ramrod straight, and his eyes closed.

He didn’t die with any regrets. On the contrary, he felt willing to die at Su Mo’s hands.

Because Su Mo was just too strong.

To be killed personally by such an expert was not a humiliation, but an immense honor.

As his soul dispersed, Li Kun mocked himself. ’Blood Slaughter Hand? Bullshit. A peerless talent leading a generation of prodigies? Bullshit. This man right here... he’s the real monster.’
