Chapter 435: Fierce Grand Martial Artist

At these words, everyone present was stunned, their faces etched with disbelief.

Was this some kind of joke?

A powerful being who could defeat Granny Sha, wipe out the Purple Cloud Palace and Haoyue Sect, and walk uncontested through Emperor Heaven Valley was actually a Grand Martial Artist?

Not even a dog would believe that!

Patriarch Zhao chuckled. “Young Master Su, you have quite the sense of humor. How could a prodigy of your caliber possibly be a Grand Martial Artist?”

“But I really am a Grand Martial Artist.”

Su Mo said with a shrug.

Hearing this, the crowd was stunned once more.

Patriarch Zhao was also stunned.

He had been trying his best to smooth things over for Su Mo, yet Su Mo insisted he was a Grand Martial Artist.

‘Is he toying with me?’

Su Mo said helplessly, “I really am a Grand Martial Artist. If you don’t believe me, I can reveal my Realm for you to see.”

WHOOSH!

Su Mo activated his Realm.

At this sight, the crowd was dumbfounded on the spot.

He really was a Grand Martial Artist.

Patriarch Lan said coldly, “Patriarch Zhao, are you deliberately making a fool of us? Did you find a Grand Martial Artist just to keep us company?”

“Hmph. If you look down on us, why invite us to your Zhao Family in the first place?”

“Patriarch Zhao, you must give us an explanation.”

The two elderly men shot to their feet, coldly accusing Patriarch Zhao.

Patriarch Zhao’s face turned livid.

He hadn’t expected something like this to happen and shot an angry look at Zhao Chengru.

Patriarch Zhao sent a voice transmission: “Chengru, are you certain this kid is our Zhao Family’s benefactor?”

“I’m certain!”

Zhao Chengru nodded. “Back in Emperor Heaven Valley, many members of our family saw it. The Patriarch can call them here to testify. Besides…”

“Besides what?”

Patriarch Zhao pressed.

Zhao Chengru said, “Just now on the street, Young Master Su and I ran into Li Mu. Li Mu tried to intimidate us with a Holy Edict from the King of Reincarnation.”

“Li Mu? Have those bastards from the Li Family pledged allegiance to the King of Reincarnation?”

Patriarch Zhao’s heart sank.

The Li Family were sworn enemies of the Zhao Family. For them to ally with the King of Reincarnation was definitely not good news for the Zhao Family.

“What was the outcome?”

Patriarch Zhao continued to ask.

Zhao Chengru said in shame, “I couldn’t withstand the Holy Might from the King of Reincarnation’s Holy Edict and dropped to my knees on the spot. But Young Master Su didn’t kneel.”

“You mean, Young Master Su withstood the King of Reincarnation’s Holy Might?”

Patriarch Zhao asked in surprise.

Zhao Chengru nodded. “Not only that, but he also slapped Li Mu twice, sending him flying.”

“Good. I understand!”

After getting a clear picture, Patriarch Zhao put on an apologetic smile. “Everyone, please calm down. Young Master Su truly possesses great skill. You’ve misunderstood him.”

“Misunderstood? Heh, do you take us for blind fools?”

Patriarch Lan sneered.

The two elderly men chimed in, “Patriarch Zhao, don’t try to fool us with such ambiguous excuses. We’re not buying it.”

“This…”

Patriarch Zhao was in a bind, unsure how to convince them.

Helpless, he could only look toward Su Mo.

He saw Su Mo grab a large chicken thigh from a plate, take a bite, and say, “If you’re not going to eat, then get lost. No one’s stopping you.”

“Insolent!”

Patriarch Lan glared at Su Mo, his anger flaring.

This kid actually dared to tell them to get lost.

He was audacious beyond belief.

However, Su Mo replied unhurriedly, “I’m not being insolent. I do have a fart I could let go, but I don’t feel like it right now.”

“What?”

Patriarch Lan’s eyes nearly popped out of his head with rage. He turned to Patriarch Zhao and said, “Patriarch Zhao, you’ve seen it yourself. This kid is utterly disrespectful and has no right to sit at the same table as us.”

“If you don’t kick him out today, then we’ll leave and sever all ties with your Zhao Family,” the two elderly men said in unison.

“This…”

Patriarch Zhao looked conflicted.

‘Kick Su Mo out?’

‘No!’

‘If I do that, others will say our Zhao Family is ungrateful. They’ll look down on us.’

‘Sever ties with the Lan Family?’

‘That’s even more out of the question.’

‘The Lan Family’s power in Meteor City is in no way inferior to our Zhao Family. Losing such a powerful ally would be a terrible blow.’

“Sigh…”

Just as Patriarch Zhao was struggling with his decision, Su Mo suddenly sighed and said, “Aren’t you people pathetic? Patriarch Zhao prepared such a fine feast, yet instead of eating, you’re just bitching and moaning like a bunch of idiots.”

“It’s not that we don’t want to eat, it’s that we don’t want to eat with you!”

“Because you are not worthy!”

Patriarch Lan and the two elderly men said with contempt.

Su Mo asked, “And these two are…?”

Patriarch Zhao hurriedly made the introductions. “On the left is Patriarch Liang Yi. On the right is Patriarch Yu Tie of the Yu Family. Both of their families are major families in Meteor City.”

“Patriarch Liang Yi, Patriarch Yu Tie, and Patriarch Lan, what must I do for you to be willing to sit down and eat properly?” Su Mo said helplessly.

Patriarch Lan said coldly, “Fine. Unless you can prove you’re qualified to sit with us, we might as well not eat this meal at all.”

“Then how do I prove my qualifications?”

Su Mo pressed.

Patriarch Lan thought for a moment and said, “I don’t want to make things difficult for you, but you must receive one of my attacks.”

“Just one move?”

Su Mo asked.

Patriarch Lan said with cold arrogance, “Just one. I’m afraid if I hit you any more, I might kill you here, which would put Patriarch Zhao in an awkward position.”

“But one move isn’t satisfying enough!”

Su Mo said, feigning difficulty.

“Ha? You said it’s not satisfying enough?”

Patriarch Lan was stunned for a moment, then said contemptuously, “Then how many moves do you want to take?”

“One move it is, then!”

Su Mo said lazily, “However, for this one move, you must use your full strength and attack me together with Patriarch Liang Yi and Patriarch Yu Tie.”

“What did you say?”

Patriarch Lan was dumbstruck.

Su Mo repeated, “I said the three of you should attack me together with your full strength. I’m afraid I won’t be able to control my power when I block and might end up hurting you.”

“Holy shit, has this kid lost his mind? He’s actually asking the three Patriarchs to attack him at once?”

“Is he looking to die?”

“Damn it, I’ve lived for several hundred years and I’ve never seen someone so arrogant.”

The people present broke into discussion.

Patriarch Lan looked toward Liang Yi and Yu Tie. Yu Tie said coldly, “Since he’s asking for death, let’s grant him his wish.”

“Fine!”

Lan Yi agreed.

Su Mo walked to the center of the hall. “Come on. Remember to use your full strength, or I might slip up and kill you by accident.”

“Fuck!”

Lan Yi cursed out loud in fury.

Liang Yi and Yu Tie were also seething with rage. They each activated their formidable Martial Emperor Great Perfection Realms and charged their attacks toward Su Mo.

“Divine Sword Invincible!”

“Celestial Annihilation Palm!”

“Iron Blood Saber Technique!”

RUMBLE!

The three of them unleashed their strongest techniques, viciously blasting them at Su Mo.

They even drew upon the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

However, what seemed like a terrifying assault to everyone else was nothing more than child’s play in Su Mo’s eyes, posing no threat whatsoever.

“That’s it?”

Su Mo shook his head, then casually tossed the half-eaten chicken thigh in his hand, intercepting the trio’s attacks.

BOOM!

Along with an earth-shattering sound that exploded in everyone’s ears, all three men were sent flying backward.

PTUI!

Patriarch Lan spat out two mouthfuls of black blood, his entire body convulsing uncontrollably.
