Chapter 376: Impregnable Defense

Translator: Transn  Editor: Transn

Just when Su Mo was about to kill Xue Yin, someone else attacked.

It was a young man with a mole on the corner of his mouth, named Xue Qi. He was ranked fourth on the List of Top 100 Talents in the Blackdragon Domain, and also ranked second only to Xue Yin among the talents from Cold-blood Hall.

Xue Qi’s spear attack was extremely powerful, on a par with Xue Yin’s Blood Wheel Cut. If Su Mo continued with his attack on Xue Yin, he would be hit by the spear.

The crowd assumed that Su Mo would give up on killing Xue Yin and move away from the path of the spear.

In spite of the fact that Su Mo had faced the attacks of two Lv 7 True Spirit Realm talents from Cold-blood Hall, the crowd did not think that Su Mo would be able to block Xue Qi’s attack.

Xue Qi’s cultivation was on a par with Xue Yin, at Peak Lv 8 True Spirit Realm, and was many times stronger than the earlier duo.

Even a martial artist at Peak Lv 9 True Spirit Realm would be instantly killed if he tried to face Xue Qi’s attack head-on purely relying on physical strength.

However, contrary to the expectations of the crowd, Su Mo didn’t even react to Xue Qi’s attack, instead focusing all his energy on killing Xue Yin.

The sharp silvery long sword swept across in a beautiful arc, landing heavily on Xue Yin’s head.

Xue Yin’s head was instantly sliced into half, like a watermelon being split open by a knife, and the sword radiance continued its path downwards, completely splitting Xue Yin into two.

At the same time, the mighty spear radiance landed squarely on Su Mo. Just when the spear radiance looked like it was about to pierce through Su Mo, a faint golden glow radiated from Su Mo’s body.

It was scales, light golden scales.

CLANG!

The loud clang of metal sounded as the blood-red spear radiance collided with the golden scales, only to collapse instantly.

Su Mo was knocked back tens of meters by the impact, but remained unharmed.

Silence fell across the crowd, but chaos reigned in their hearts. On one hand, they were shocked that Xue Yin, ranked second on the List of Top 100 Talents of Cloud Domain died just like this, but they were even more stunned that Su Mo faced Xue Qi’s attack head-on with just his physical strength and emerged unscathed.

“Goodness! This was such a strong body! With a terrifying defensive ability!”

Many inwardly exclaimed.

They would have never believed it if they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes.

BOOM!

Su Mo flew forward once again, blasting Xue Yin’s body into smithereens, then collected his storage ring, and looked forward.

Xue Qi stood dazedly, shock filling his face. He couldn’t help but shake inwardly at Su Mo’s strength.

He had wanted to save Xue Yin, then combine forces against Su Mo. Even if they were not able to defeat Su Mo, they would have had time to escape.

Now that Su Mo had displayed strength beyond his wildest imagination by instantly killing Xue Yin, and emerging unscathed from his most powerful attack, how could he not be afraid?

“Let’s go!” Xue Qi commanded without hesitation, and flew to the sky, ready to leave this place.

Su Mo was just too strong for them to handle. They had to leave this place as soon as possible.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

At his command, the talents from Cold-blood Hall flew up in the air in quick succession, all wanting to escape.

“Time for all of you to die!” shouted Su Mo coldly as he activated his Martial Soul, unleashing his intense devouring power into the surrounding area.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Simultaneously, sword radiance rippled across like water, crisscrossing the skies with thick sword Qi.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

One by one, sword Qi pierced through the people of Cold-blood Hall, and they fell back toward the ground. In a matter of seconds, only three people remained from the thirty-odd Cold-blood Hall talents.

These three were all of Lv 8 True Spirit Realm cultivation, and had not sustained any injuries. As for the others who were of lower strength, or those of the same cultivation but had sustained injuries, they were all killed instantly after being engulfed by Su Mo’s devouring power.

Mo Yue was sliced into two by a sword Qi, blood gushing forth as his body was sucked dry instantly.

These three survivors, including Xue Qi, were as strong as Li Hai and Fang Qingyun, so although they felt the effect of the devouring power, they were quickly able to tamp it down, and barely managed to block Su Mo’s sword Qi and escape death. They fled in a panic and instantly disappeared into the sky.

Su Mo did not go after the trio because he was hampered by his speed. There was no way he’d be able to catch up.

Su Mo sighed inwardly. The trio was indeed strong, his long-range attack did not display his physical strength, nor the Nirvana Sword Qi. Now that he did not manage to kill these three in one blow, he had lost the chance to do so.

After getting rid of the people of Cold-blood Hall, he did not hurry to collect his spoils. Instead, his gaze swept across the area, and he issued a command coldly, “I expect all of you to hand over your storage rings, or die at my hand!”

As his cold voice echoed across the area, the talents who had been shocked dumb quickly came back to their senses, their faces grave.

Earlier, when Su Mo had mentioned wanting to rob everyone, they had all taken it as a joke, but now, no one dared to treat his statement lightly!

The strength Su Mo had displayed was just too powerful!

Even the mighty Chu Yunfeng’s face changed, for he was already injured. Even if he was not injured, he would not be a match for Su Mo.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

The moment Su Mo issued his command, there were seven, maybe eight talents who attempted to flee.

Sword radiance flashed across, turning these people into corpses.

Panic flitted across the crowd’s faces. Those who had also wanted to flee immediately got rid of the thought.

“Don’t get too arrogant! Do you really think all of us are afraid of you?” A brave voice sounded. It was a muscular youth of Lv 8 True Spirit Realm cultivation.

Although he expressed that he was unafraid, the fear in his eyes betrayed him.

“That’s right! There are so many of us, are we really going to be held ransom by him?”

“Yes, let’s join forces! We can’t let him succeed!”

“… ”

At the muscular youth’s lead, more than half the crowd quickly spoke up in quick succession. No one was willing to hand over their storage ring.

“Hahaha!”

Su Mo laughed as his lips curled into a cold smile. These people would not be convinced until they are faced with the grim reality!

“Devour!” Su Mo cried, suddenly activating his Devouring Martial Soul and enveloped the surroundings with his strong devouring power.

“Ah! What is happening?”

“My Genuine Vitality and Qi blood are flowing out of me. How is this possible?”

“No!”

The crowd cried out in horror, especially those experts at Lv 7 and Lv 8 True Spirit Realm, for they had all sustained injuries after battling those from Cold-blood Hall earlier.

Under the influence of the devouring power, their blood flowed in reverse, and came gushing out.

As the most seriously injured, Chu Yunfeng lost half the blood in his body in an instant, his body turning frail.

The ninth princess had also sustained some internal injuries, and her body trembled under the influence of the devouring power, her face pale.

Fortunately, Su Mo only activated his Devouring Martial Soul for half a breath before withdrawing it.
