Chapter 1566 - 588: Dragon Suppressing Stone
As soon as Su Mo spoke, Sixth Jing felt a sudden urge to curse.
While it’s common not to hit the face when fighting, and not to highlight one’s weaknesses when cursing.
To be forced to flee with his tail between his legs by Su Mo is indeed not something to be proud of.
However, Sixth Jing is a deep-minded person. Although furious inside, none of it was revealed on his face.
He smiled gently:
"Su, the Chief of the Escort, you must be joking.
"With martial arts supreme and a ruthless heart, you harbor murderous intent; I can only flee for my life.
"Escaping from your grasp isn’t shameful.
"In fact, surviving your hand is commendable."
Su Mo felt somewhat helpless:
"These words cannot be spoken lightly. I never kill innocents, so how can ruthless be used to describe me?
"But if we speak backward, just now Sixth Jing fled without hesitation.
"Yet now appears boldly before me, I imagine the Divine Skill must have reached Great Success?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Sixth Jing’s smile suddenly froze on his face.
He lightly furrowed his brows, looking at Su Mo:
"You know... I want to practice here?"
"It’s not difficult to guess."
Su Mo shook his head slightly:
"If Sixth Jing confidently relies on his martial arts to defeat me.
"Then there’s no need to hide, disguise, and enter the Martial God Temple with me.
"By the same token, if Sixth Jing believes his martial arts are not my match, disguised entering here, wanting to escape alive, would definitely be impossible.
"Moreover, Sixth Jing evidently never planned to run.
"Judging from the past demeanor, Sixth Jing should have deep knowledge of the Martial God Temple.
"Even acquiring the map of Martial God Temple, I am unclear about the top-level Stone Forest Illusion Array.
"Yet Sixth Jing managed to use it to trap me.
"This detail speaks volumes...
"Therefore, if you wanted to escape you shouldn’t take the secret path, but rather breakthrough the main entrance.
"But in reality, you did not do so.
"After pondering over and over, I believe there are only three possibilities."
"...I would like to hear them in detail."
Sixth Jing spoke in a deep voice, wanting to see Su Mo’s thought process.
Su Mo smiled, not hiding anything, extending a finger:
"First, inside the Martial God Temple there might be a certain extremely powerful weapon.
"Enough for Sixth Jing to reverse the situation in one fell swoop.
"Second, if not a weapon, it might be some Divine Skill unknown to us that could allow you to easily master it, leaving me utterly defeated.
"But until the Stone Forest Illusion Array incident, I knew...
"These two points are not correct.
"There’s no Divine Weapon in the Martial God Temple; even if there were, it should have been plundered by the former Da Xuan Dynasty.
"As for the Divine Skill Secret Book.
"The Luminous Heavenly Book requires a crystal-clear mind to comprehend.
"Not to mention Sixth Jing, I admit that I can’t achieve this either.
"Besides, the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique is hidden within the giant stone, accessible only with one method.
"If you comprehended the Luminous Heavenly Book, you certainly wouldn’t find the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique.
"If you were aiming for the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique, you are borrowing my hand to acquire it.
"With this martial arts, you’d certainly struggle to reverse the situation, because you wouldn’t be able to master it within a short period.
"Hence, only one possibility remains.
"That is, Sixth Jing has a martial arts skill needing to be fully practiced to Great Success inside the Martial God Temple.
"That martial arts must be unusual, unable to reach its peak outside but uniquely favored within the Martial God Temple, compelling Sixth Jing to take great risks.
"Throughout the entire Martial God Temple, only the Heaven and Earth Four Extremes Thousand Stele Array holds unique mysteries."
After hearing this, Sixth Jing gently exhaled, unable to resist praising:
"Indeed, Su, the Chief of the Escort is a true dragon among men.
"In a short time, you’ve already discerned the causes and effects.
"Thus, you allowed me to leave rather than hastily chasing me.
"But you’re allowing this because of overconfidence?
"No... If you were overly confident, you wouldn’t have given Xu Huai Valley the chance to escape here and interrupt my practice."
Su Mo smiled upon hearing:
"How does Sixth Jing know it was intentional release by me, and not truly unable to stop?"
"Is that a joke?"
Sixth Jing pretended to laugh along.
Su Mo sighed:
"Lord Xu’s Infinite Qian Kun is actually quite interesting.
"Gui Xu Island’s Divine Skill is also renowned... unfortunately, too scatter-minded, too many thoughts.
"If he sincerely wanted to leave, the result would be uncertain.
"Yet, while wanting to leave, like Sixth Jing, unwilling to return empty-handed... he ultimately exhausted his own life.
"Sixth Jing made a sudden move, seizing the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique he risked his life for and presented him to me.
"The purpose is clear.
"What Sixth Jing wants to accomplish, I naturally cannot allow you to succeed.
"Killing him prematurely is merely a waste of time.
"It might even make him collude with the Dark Dragon Hall Master to impede me.
"Furthermore, it’ll allow Sixth Jing to indulge freely here without any care.
"If so, why not let him go, separate him from the Dark Dragon Hall Master, easily defeating them one by one. There are still personal grievances with the Dark Dragon Hall Master to resolve.
"Most importantly, you secretly attacked and took the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique.
"Lord Xu must be dissatisfied.
"You want to practice here in peace, but how can he willingly let you achieve your goals?
