Chapter 1552 - 583: 9-Turn Divine Dragon Skill (Part 2)
With this thought, he did not dare to be negligent.
He began to make an attempt.
What he wanted to try was not merely crossing hands with these two people.
He also had to try whether he could avoid crossing hands with them at all.
After all, that battle back then was a duel between the two of them, not the two joining forces against another.
What Su Mo imagined was actually not far from the truth.
If he had mastered the Luminous Heavenly Book, now that he was within this Illusion Realm, he could switch freely.
He could directly borrow the body of the Nanhai Martial God and experience every detail of that battle of years past.
He could also borrow the body of the Monarch of the Black Dragon Ancient Country and carefully savor his Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique.
Only now, he had yet to obtain this inheritance.
He could only face this most perilous trial.
"So this is your scheme?"
Just as Su Mo fell into this Illusion Realm, from a corner of the hall.
A voice slowly sounded.
The speaker, dressed in black, looked at Su Mo standing motionless in the middle of the stone forest, and could not help but knit his brows tightly.
He had the intention to step forward and kill this man.
Yet he was stopped by a young lord at his side:
"Hall Master, you must not...
"This stone forest is formed by a wondrous array working in concert with a Supreme Divine Skill of the Nanhai Martial God from years past.
"Now that the formation has been triggered, the one inside has fallen into an Illusion Realm, reliving the most perilous battle.
"If you step into it, you will also be drawn in.
"When that time comes, even if we wished to save you, I fear we would be unable to... let alone that we may not necessarily save you."
"...Hmph, you certainly speak bluntly."
This black-clad man was precisely the Dark Dragon Hall Master.
Hearing the young lord at his side speak, his brows furrowed at once; looking again at Su Mo, his eyes were filled with unwillingness.
Ever since Su Mo used Xiangtian Sect to lure the Eight Demonic Punishment Orders into the Dark Dragon Hall Headquarters and slaughtered everyone above.
The Dark Dragon Hall Master, upon receiving the news, truly could neither eat in peace nor sleep in peace.
At every moment he wished he could seize Su Mo in the palm of his hand, eat his flesh alive, gnaw his bones and swallow his tendons.
Previously, disguising those Nanhai experts to follow behind Su Mo had also taken immense self-control to avoid giving himself away.
Now seeing this arch-criminal fall into the Illusion Realm, he wished nothing more than to kill him with his own hands.
He glanced back at that young lord, gritting his teeth as he said:
"Only, is not your scheme a bit absurd?
"If Su Mo truly gains some insight within this Illusion Realm, once he breaks free, I fear we will be even less his match."
"That is impossible."
The young lord spoke without hesitation.
The Dark Dragon Hall Master’s brows tightened:
"On what basis do you assert this so firmly?"
The young lord only smiled without speaking, when another voice came from beside them:
"This old man also wishes to know, from where does the Sixth Shock derive such confidence?"
The speaker was a man in his fifties, tall and lean of build, his hair and beard half gray.
If Gao Tianqi were present, he would surely recognize him at a glance.
This man was none other than the Gui Xu Island Island Master, Xu Huai Valley.
And this young lord was precisely the Longmen Sixth Jing.
The one who died before the Martial God Temple at Su Mo’s hands was nothing but a decoy.
After that upheaval on Leng Wushuang’s island, this group had long since changed their faces and slipped into the ranks of those Jianghu experts following behind Su Mo.
They had followed Su Mo openly into this Martial God Temple.
At this moment, the Sixth Jing snapped open his folding fan with a soft smack and smiled lightly:
"The Martial God Temple has stood upon the Nanhai for thousands of years.
"In past years, when Emperor Xuan trampled the Jianghu seven times, surely you don’t think he never came here?"
"Could it be that he did?"
Xu Huai Valley’s heart tightened and his brows furrowed: "Back then, when Emperor Xuan trampled the Jianghu, it was said there was not even three feet of clear sky. If he had come here, what meaning would this trip of ours still have?"
Whatever was here would have long since been scoured clean by that Emperor Xuan who dug three feet into the earth.
The Sixth Jing could not help but smile at these words:
"What you say does make sense; however, if even the sky three feet above was not spared, how could this place remain untouched?
"In truth, it is not that they did not wish to act, but that they could not.
"Though the experts of that era gained many insights, they came away from this place empty-handed time and again.
"If they were careless and fell into the array, they would die and their Dao would be severed.
"They wished to destroy it, yet could not bear to.
"In the end, they could only withdraw from this place...
"The Da Xuan Dynasty teemed with talent, and those of supreme martial arts— even the First Shock of that year, with his Emperor’s Shocking World Book—could only retreat three leagues.
"Today, though Su Mo is formidable, he is not necessarily above the ancients.
"Now that he has fallen into this array, his fate is sealed... there is absolutely no way he will leave this place alive!!"
Xu Huai Valley and the Dark Dragon Hall Master exchanged a glance.
Though they felt the Sixth Jing’s confidence was a bit excessive.
Seeing Su Mo standing within the array, brows knitted, silent and motionless, they could only nod slightly and believe the Sixth Jing’s words.
Yet at this thought, they could not help but feel stifled.
The foundation that the Dark Dragon Hall Master had built over so many years had been reduced to ashes by Su Mo.
And the Gui Xu Island Island Master, who had roamed the Nanhai as one of the top figures of the three great powers.
Had been so pressured by Su Mo’s fearsome reputation that he fled overnight with the Eight Great Heavenly Kings and his son’s men in tow.
As a result, he had handed Gao Tianqi an enormous opportunity, allowing them to seize Gui Xu Island.
Though, in Xu Huai Valley’s eyes, this was only temporary.
In time, he would ultimately take Gui Xu Island back.
Yet to have fallen into such circumstances now, he had to admit it was all thanks to Su Mo.
And yet they did not dare lay hands on him, and could only rely on the wisdom of the ancients to have him slain.
