Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning - Chapter 1145: 449: Mandarin Duck Gloves
Capítulo 1145: Chapter 449: Mandarin Duck Gloves
As soon as Lie Huo saw the newcomer was Su Mo, he turned around to leave without a second thought.
However, in the next moment, a Water Sword suddenly rose from beneath his feet, slashing diagonally towards him.
Lie Huo quickly dodged to the side, but still ended up with a deep gash on his arm, blood gushing out immediately.
His expression changed, and he suddenly turned back to look at Su Mo:
“You…”
Su Mo smiled, “Did I ever say, Taoist, that you could leave this place?”
“…”
Lie Huo frowned deeply, his face darkened with worry.
Glancing at the floor, which had somehow become covered with water stains throughout the ruined temple, his heart couldn’t help but fill with fear.
What kind of martial arts is this?
His Xuanji Raging Fire Palm relies on Inner Strength.
Yet Su Mo’s use of the Water Sword technique seemed to manipulate flowing water with his Inner Strength.
This… is this even called martial arts?
If he were to break out with all his might, could he break through the Water Sword’s obstruction?
Thinking of this, his heart sank.
The sword just now from Su Mo obviously showed mercy, otherwise, it wouldn’t have just been his arm that was cut.
With a sigh, he stood aside and said no more.
The seven people across from him, taking this moment, exchanged glances and then suddenly scattered.
They fled in different directions.
Using the Heaven and Earth Seven Killings Formation to unleash the Seven Kills Blade Light with the combined strength of all, they couldn’t withstand even a single sweep from the opponent’s Water Sword.
The Seven Killings Hall never leaves survivors, but only if they could win.
Now wanting to silence them seemed impossible.
Instead, they might be the ones who get silenced.
In such a situation, staying here to fight to the death was a dead end.
However, while they wanted to leave, Su Mo naturally wasn’t willing.
“Since friends have come from afar, how can they leave just like that?”
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The flowing water turned into swords, and in an instant, the atmosphere was filled with killing intent.
The Heavenly Water Ten Directions Sword was originally a skill performed by dipping ten fingers into water, only to be executed when lifted from the water.
However, Su Mo integrated it into the Wuxiang divine Sword aura, freeing it from the constraint of ten fingers.
Wherever his mind focused, there it went.
The sword techniques formed were beyond imagination.
The people of the Seven Killings Hall were no pushovers, yet facing this innovative Absolute Skill, they found themselves inadequate.
Blade Qi turned into Blade Aura, protecting their bodies, but they soon heard three consecutive thuds as the Water Sword had already pierced through the Blade Aura, striking their foreheads, penetrating their skulls, leaving them dead.
The remaining four barely managed to withstand the Water Sword, yet the Water Sword carried Su Mo’s immense Inner Strength.
In no time, they were all knocked backwards.
Originally fleeing in different directions, the four of them collided into each other’s backs as they were knocked back, each letting out a muffled grunt.
Before they could regroup, there came the sound of the wind cutting through the air, followed by a jolt through their bodies, rendering them immobile.
Su Mo glanced at the fire raging in the temple and then looked at Lie Huo, who was meditating with his eyes closed, nose focused, and mouth tight, and couldn’t help but smile:
“Taoist, since you’re free anyway, why not do me a favor and carry them out?”
Lie Huo glared at Su Mo:
“Will you pay me?”
“I’ll pay with your life.”
“…”
Lie Huo helplessly, with a blackened face, grabbed the remaining Seven Killings Hall experts by their necks, two in each hand, dragging them out of the ruined temple.
Su Mo followed behind Lie Huo, carrying a large cloth bag.
After coming out of the ruined temple, Lie Huo spoke again:
“Can I leave now?”
“Why the haste, Taoist?”
Su Mo said with a smile, “Think carefully, I’ve saved your life several times already.”
“???”
Lie Huo was dumbfounded: “Since when did you save my life?”
“The first time was in the Qi Family hall, at Xiuyun Pavilion.”
Su Mo said, “At that time, you made a move on Shangguan Jingjing, and I stopped you. However, considering you are a Jianghu veteran, I spared your life and didn’t harm you.
“Doesn’t that count as saving your life?”
“…Does that even count?”
Lie Huo, who had been traveling in Jianghu for many years, felt he’d seen it all today.
You tried to kill me, spared me, didn’t take my life, and that counts as saving me?
What kind of twisted logic is this?
For a moment, his hair seemed to float like flames, but in front of this martial arts master, he could do nothing but grind his teeth in place:
“The second time was outside the inn. You kidnapped Ximen Huai. I was right there, intending to kill you but didn’t.
“Doesn’t that count as another time? Even if you don’t want to admit it, at least it was a kindness of sparing, wasn’t it?”
“Should I thank you then?”
Lie Huo stomped his feet in anger.
Su Mo waved his hand: “As people of the Jianghu, there’s no need to be so formal, Taoist.”
“…”
Lie Huo felt his Qi and blood surging inside furiously.
He almost felt like smashing his head right there for a bit of relief.
Su Mo then pointed to the dilapidated temple:
“Just now, the Seven Killings Hall expert you mentioned, wielded that Blade Light, and you couldn’t defend against it.
“Had I not intervened, you’d be dead. Doesn’t that count as once?”
“…It counts.”
No matter how reluctant Lie Huo was to admit, this one was genuine.
The other two times were utter nonsense.
Besides, if you hadn’t kidnapped Ximen Huai, why would they have attacked me?
You don’t mention ruining good deeds, do you?
“As long as it counts.”
Su Mo said with a smile, “I’ve spared your life or even saved you a few times. Now, I’m just asking you to help carry a few people, and it’s all cleared?
