Chapter 203: Chapter 136 E Tao

“Bullying to the extreme! Bullying to the extreme!!!”

That person, in a moment of rage, was not only bleeding uncontrollably from his palm but was also prattling nonstop:

“It was merely some pastries encountered by chance on the road, and yet, and yet you also bully me…

“Our sect, we just want to have a full meal, why is that so difficult?

“You people… you all, this society, do you really not even permit the simple act of allowing people to eat their fill?”

Watching this person in a frenzy of anger, the few women who had arrived were all wearing somber expressions.

After exchanging glances, the woman in the lead sternly demanded:

“Corpse Hanger! Are you the remnant of the E Tao Sect!?”

E Tao Sect?

Su Mo, hearing this unfamiliar term, became somewhat curious, glanced at Yang Xiaoyun, and upon seeing her face also shadowed, proceeded to ask:

“Sister Xiao Yun, do you know of this E Tao Sect?”

Yang Xiaoyun’s lips parted slightly, and she spit out eight words:

“Eating humans to practice, outraging gods and men!”

Su Mo nodded, not feeling particularly surprised, as that man had been speaking incoherently, giving off quite an ominous impression.

Now, hearing that man repeatedly complaining about others not letting them eat their fill, it seemed upon reflection that if they were allowed to eat their fill, others would likely have nothing left to eat.

No wonder their sect was annihilated. There truly was not the slightest injustice in it.

Yet on seeing the corpse on the ground, he sighed softly, “Such a flowery age, yet to be murdered by a scoundrel like you, truly pitiful.”

“Pitiful?”

The man just laughed: “Survival of the fittest, survival of the suitable, this is a world where people eat people in Jianghu… You people of the Righteous Path, when have you ever spat out the bones after eating people?

“Anyway, coming to Southwest this time, I just planned to let loose and have a big feast, and now that you’ve all gathered here, I should be able to eat my fill!”

As his voice fell, he abruptly leapt into the air, no longer paying attention to the few women, and instead heading straight for Su Mo.

To catch a bandit, first catch the king. Su Mo’s stone-throwing strike was indeed formidable, and the man didn’t dare to harbor any luck in his heart, but instead planned to take down Su Mo first, then turn to cook the others.

“Be careful!”

Seeing this, the leading woman urgently warned: “E Tao Sect harbors Corpse Poison in their bodies, do not come into contact with it at any cost, otherwise there will be no cure!!”

“Oh? Thank you for the warning.”

Su Mo’s eyebrows raised, then the sound of a click was heard, and the Sword Box at his back popped open.

Shortly after, the sound of sword cry abruptly rose as his Inner Strength surged, Dragon Roar unsheathed naturally from behind, Su Mo lifted his hand to grasp the Longsword in his palm, and casually thrust out with the sword.

The sword’s edge flashed coldly, not showing any particular finesse in the technique, but as the sword was raised, all onlookers couldn’t help but feel a piercing, chilling intent emanating from that sharp edge.

Following that, they saw a pitch-black hand, under the reflection of the sword’s gleam, tossed into the air.

Blood spilled, the man stood dumbfounded, seemingly having never anticipated such an outcome.

Yet upon seeing the hand falling in midair, he stretched out to catch it, looking down:

“No waste allowed.”

As he spoke, he stuffed the hand into his robes, then glanced at Su Mo and turned to flee.

Just now, he had intended to kill, but just one sword strike had made him realize the vast disparity between himself and Su Mo.

If he couldn’t kill, couldn’t feed, then flee!

Besides Yang Xiaoyun, everyone else at the scene was practically dumbstruck.

Earlier, they had fought with him for several exchanges and were completely suppressed; even as a group, they had had two longswords broken, and if not for Su Mo’s intervention, two of their sisters would have perished right there.

Yet they had never expected this nameless passerby to sever the E Tao Sect’s scion’s arm with a mere gesture.

Such swordsmanship was utterly unheard of, unseen before!

However, at this very moment, there was no time for shock; seeing the man about to escape, they promptly let out an enraged shout:

“Stop him.”

Never mind avenging their sect fellows, if this man got away, how many more innocent people in the Southwest would be harmed by him?

Therefore, regardless of whether they were capable or not, they absolutely could not let this man escape today.

At the command, the sound of swords ringing filled the air, two women wielding longswords, striking from both sides.

The man, left with only one hand, showed no fear, his palm turned pitch black in an instant, reaching into the sword shadows to strike the vulnerable points. Right as they were obstructing him, the man suddenly inhaled sharply and spat out vigorously.

At this moment, it was already too late to dodge.

The two women, taken aback, thought their lives were certain to end, ready to close their eyes and await death, when suddenly they both felt a tightness around their necks, followed by a swift motion.

By the time they steadied their minds to look again, they had been moved more than two meters away.

The E Tao Sect’s Corpse Poison was undoubtedly fierce, but this breath could not reach this far.

Turning their heads, they indeed saw Su Mo standing behind them.

Just as they were about to express their gratitude, they heard Su Mo speak: “Stay calm and don’t be hasty.”

Four words entered their ears, and they blushed with both shame and annoyance.

It wasn’t that Su Mo was teasing them, telling them to ’stay calm and don’t be hasty’ was actually a polite way of putting it; to be more direct, it meant don’t come over and add to the chaos!

Had anyone else said these words, they surely would not have accepted it, but coming from Su Mo, they had no choice but to agree.

In their embarrassment and irritation, of course, they blushed red to the ears.

Su Mo stepped forward with his sword, smiling as he said: “Wouldn’t it have been nice if your excellency only wanted to borrow some light?”

“Heh…”

The man looked at his severed arm, sweeping his eyes over Su Mo: “Such a fierce swordsmanship. In the Southwest, the only one known for swordsmanship is Yu Liu Sword Heart Liu Suifeng. The Divine Rainbow Heart Seeking Sword I’ve long admired, but I wonder how one might address the relation with you?”
