Chapter 437 438: Toying with the Celestial Envy Old Monster

The Celestial Envy Old Monster cackled. "You want him to wish he were dead? Jie jie jie, that's too easy a request."

He didn't just enjoy killing; he loved to torture.

Especially the tender, weak-willed young ones.

Torturing them was a special kind of pleasure.

The Celestial Envy Old Monster said, "Boy, you heard Patriarch Li's request. Now, I'll have to trouble you to come with me."

With that, the Celestial Envy Old Monster's large hand shot out to grab Su Mo.

However...

BANG!

Before he could even touch Su Mo, a formidable power blasted him back.

It was Patriarch Zhao who had acted.

The Celestial Envy Old Monster's eyes narrowed. "Zhao, you dare stand in my way?"

"Hmph. What do you think this place is?"

Patriarch Zhao said coldly.

Making a move in the Zhao Family's territory without his permission—wasn't that a blatant slap in his face?

Besides, Su Mo was a guest he had personally invited.

The Celestial Envy Old Monster said icily, "Of course I know where I am. But... do you really want to make an enemy of the King of Reincarnation?"

Patriarch Zhao's expression darkened.

He wasn't prepared to turn against the King of Reincarnation.

Besides, the Celestial Envy Old Monster was no ordinary man.

Even Wang Yue of the Wang Family, an expert at the Martial Emperor Great Perfection Level, had died at his hands.

'But if I don't stop him...'

The Celestial Envy Old Monster threatened, "This boy injured a Steward of the Li Family and publicly humiliated the King of Reincarnation. I am now seeking justice for the Li Family and restoring the King's honor. If you dare interfere, you are making an enemy of the King of Reincarnation."

"Zhao, you had best remember your place," Li Yuandao warned.

The Celestial Envy Old Monster sneered, "If you don't have the guts to offend the King of Reincarnation, then your Zhao Family should just scram. Don't force me to make an enemy of you."

Faced with their warnings, Patriarch Zhao's expression was impossibly grim.

For a moment, he was at a loss for what to do.

Suddenly, Su Mo exploded in fury. "Damn it all! All of you, get the hell out!"

"Get out?"

The Celestial Envy Old Monster and Li Yuandao's eyes went wide.

'This kid dared to tell them to get out?'

'Dammit!'

Su Mo spat, "Shit, all you do is run your mouths about the King of Reincarnation. I'm sick to death of hearing it. Can you stop bringing up that moron?"

He hadn't had a moment's peace since arriving in Meteor City.

Everyone was talking about the King of Reincarnation.

"What the fuck? Did that kid just call the King of Reincarnation a moron?"

"Does he have a death wish?"

"Insulting the King of Reincarnation? Hmph. I must kill this boy today and present his head to the King as a chamber pot."

Li Yuandao and the Celestial Envy Old Monster glared furiously at Su Mo.

Su Mo sneered. "Heh, the King of Reincarnation is just another crop waiting to be harvested."

"Huh?"

Li Yuandao and the Celestial Envy Old Monster were both stunned.

The King of Reincarnation was a Saint, after all.

'For Su Mo to treat the King of Reincarnation as a crop to be harvested... could he be planning to slay a Saint?'

"Slay a Saint? Haha! That's the funniest thing I've ever heard."

"Such arrogance and ignorance."

"I've lived a long life, and this is the first time I've ever heard someone refer to a Saint as a crop to be harvested. I'm speechless."

The Celestial Envy Old Monster sneered, "Boy, are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious."

Su Mo shook his head. "But before I harvest the big crop, the King of Reincarnation, I'll start by harvesting you smaller ones. You know, to make an example of you."

"You're calling us crops to be harvested, too?" the Celestial Envy Old Monster asked in surprise.

He wasn't nervous in the slightest, though.

In Meteor City, aside from the few Semi-Saints of the Meteor Sect, he was invincible. No one could touch him.

"Calling me a crop to be harvested? Heh. I'll harvest you first," the Celestial Envy Old Monster sneered.

Patriarch Zhao tried to intervene. "Wait, Celestial Envy Old Monster! You will not act so brazenly in my Zhao Family's home—"

Ultimately, he had chosen to side with Su Mo.

However, Su Mo cut in, "Don't stop him. Let him make his move. It'll just delay my harvest."

"This... very well!"

Patriarch Zhao obediently stepped back.

But he wasn't the least bit worried. After all, Su Mo had just defeated three patriarchs at the Martial Emperor Great Perfection Realm with a single move.

'Making a move on Su Mo? Hmph! The Celestial Envy Old Monster must have a death wish.'

The Celestial Envy Old Monster sneered. "Good, boy. You refused Patriarch Zhao's kindness. Very well, then. I'll end you with my own hands."

BOOM!

The Celestial Envy Old Monster unleashed his formidable power.

A single punch, with the power to shatter the heavens and sunder the earth!

BOOM!

The punch landed squarely on Su Mo's chest, and a terrifying wave of energy engulfed him.

The scene stunned all the onlookers.

Patriarch Lan cried out in disbelief, "Impossible! Young Master Su couldn't dodge the Celestial Envy Old Monster's attack?"

He had just witnessed Su Mo's power firsthand.

But in the blink of an eye, he was...

'Could it be that Su Mo took some kind of strength-enhancing Elixir Pill, and the effects have now worn off, turning him into a weakling?'

"Is that all you've got? And you wanted to harvest me?"

The Celestial Envy Old Monster said with contempt, "Boy, just let me blast you to death. Consider it me letting you off easy."

This was the first time he'd ever sent someone to Hell so quickly.

Without any proper torture.

But just then, Su Mo walked out of the Smoke and Dust. "Celestial Envy Old Monster, your attack is pretty weak. I stood still and let you hit me, and you still couldn't kill me."

"You... How are you still alive?"

The Celestial Envy Old Monster's face was a mask of disbelief.

He had used his full power in that last attack.

Even a Body Refining Martial Artist at the same Realm as him couldn't have possibly taken that attack head-on without any defense.

'This is impossible!'

Patriarch Zhao, Patriarch Lan, and the others, however, all breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected, Su Mo was incredibly strong.

They had worried for nothing.

Su Mo griped, "I was hoping for a bit of fun, but who knew you'd be so useless. Hmph. What a goddamn waste of space."

"You fucking..."

The Celestial Envy Old Monster started to lunge forward in a rage.

But just as he did, his vision blurred—Su Mo had vanished from right in front of him.

'Where is he?'

The Celestial Envy Old Monster nervously glanced around.

Seeing this, Li Yuandao immediately shrieked, "Celestial Envy Old Monster, the boy is behind you!"

"What?"

The Celestial Envy Old Monster whipped his head around and, sure enough, found that Su Mo had somehow appeared behind him.

What's more, Su Mo had his foot raised, aimed right at his ass.

BAM!

Before the Celestial Envy Old Monster could react, Su Mo's foot connected squarely with his rear, sending him flying and crashing face-first into the dirt.

"Motherf..." the Celestial Envy Old Monster began to curse.

He knew Su Mo was just toying with him, treating him like a plaything.

「Among the Li Family crowd.」

Li Mu whispered to Li Yuandao, "Patriarch, something feels... off."

Li Yuandao's face filled with suspicion.

He felt it, too.

After a moment's thought, Li Yuandao called out, "Heaven's Envy! Stop messing around with him! Just use the Holy Edict bestowed by the King of Reincarnation!"

"Fine!"

The Celestial Envy Old Monster immediately produced the Holy Edict from the King of Reincarnation.

A powerful Holy Might instantly flooded the area.

The Celestial Envy Old Monster knew he couldn't defeat Su Mo on his own, so he intended to use the Holy Might within the edict to suppress him.

But in the next second...

Su Mo abruptly appeared in front of the Celestial Envy Old Monster and snatched the Holy Edict from his grasp.

"Boy, give me back my Holy Edict!" the Celestial Envy Old Monster cried out in alarm.

That was a gift from the King of Reincarnation! If he lost it, he would be beheaded!

"My ass, I'll return it!"

Without a shred of courtesy, Su Mo tore the Holy Edict to pieces.
