Chapter 235: Chapter 146 Stay as a Guest_3

Su Mo’s eyelid twitched, “Lord Li, what does this mean? Do you know my father?”

“He was quite the hero…”

Before he could finish, a punch landed on his shoulder, pushing him back a few steps before he continued, “Dealing with a cunning young man like you is another matter entirely.”

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged glances.

The Mandarin Duck List was given to Yang Yizhi, yet he’s acquainted with Su Mo’s father?

Amidst the flickering of Su Mo’s eyes, he said to Yang Xiaoyun, “Sister Xiao Yun, be careful of these monks trying to take advantage of the situation to save someone. I’ll be right back.”

“Alright.”

Yang Xiaoyun agreed, twisting her Dragon Abyss Spear, pointing it diagonally towards the ground as she silently circulated the Da Shang Xuanting Scripture, staying alert in all directions.

Just now, while Su Mo was busy saving and capturing people here, not a single monk had come over, not solely because Li Siyun was highly skilled in martial arts and had them all tied up.

More importantly, with Su Mo also present, if they rushed over one by one, it would simply be courting death.

At this critical moment, the previously calculated strategies had turned to dust, and the only viable option was to make a tactical retreat.

Thus, the sudden shout was indeed intended to create chaos and fish in murky waters.

In the end, ZhuGe Changtian seized the opportunity swiftly, and another plot fell through.

However, in a situation where they outnumbered their opponent, if they could capture Li Siyun, there would still be room for negotiation, because it seemed like Su Mo intended to stand aside.

But unexpectedly, within a few words, Su Mo also launched an attack.

Truly, it made others feel endlessly troubled.

“If you can flee, then flee! Do not engage!”

The leading monk roared. His palms opened and closed, seeming to shift clouds in the sky in an instant.

Unintentionally, he had already reached in front of Li Siyun.

Li Siyun’s complexion changed, swirling his crutch, thrusting its head forward, colliding with the monk’s palm with a thud.

The monk staggered back three steps, only to turn around, intending to leave.

But as he turned his head, there stood a person at the door, about to throw a punch.

By the time the monk regained his wits, the fist was already before him.

Unable to dodge in time, he could only cross his hands to protect his chest.

With a muffled thud, the monk was rooted to the spot, unable to move.

Su Mo meanwhile, without even a glance at the monk, brushed past and arrived in front of another monk, casually unleashing a palm strike. The monk changed his Footwork Technique three times beneath his feet, yet Su Mo’s palm seemed to envelop the heavens and the earth, leaving no escape from its reach, regardless of how he varied his steps.

Clenching his teeth and stamping his foot in frustration, the monk channeled his entire Inner Strength to his palm to meet Su Mo’s fierce strike.

In an instant, the monk was sent flying backward like an arrow, blood spraying across the sky; when he hit the ground, he was already breathless.

At that point, the leading monk who had been punched by Su Mo began to bleed from all seven orifices, toppling over, dead.

Yet Su Mo’s pace remained unrelenting, wandering into the crowd, sometimes throwing punches or landing palm strikes.

Although none of these monks were ordinary, each could be the village chief along the river, none could withstand a single move from Su Mo.

The harder they fought, the quicker they died.

Those who couldn’t resist and were merely struck on the arm or leg by Su Mo managed to cling to their lives, if just barely.

Such martial arts left ZhuGe Changtian and others speechless in amazement.

They had not only never seen, but never even heard of such prowess.

They knew Su Mo was unfathomably skilled in martial arts when he easily cast off the shackles in the Water Prison.

Later, having exchanged blows with the Shadow Envoy for only a few moves before his death, they realized Su Mo’s formidable strength, albeit not in full clarity.

Now, however, they indeed beheld a crystal clear display of how truly awe-inspiring he was.

Be it ZhuGe Changtian, the Hongye Gang Leader, even the defiant Great Village Chief of Jiaolong Water Fort, or the female heroes of Lengyue Palace.

Each one gasped in shared astonishment.

Asking themselves if they’d stand before Su Mo, they each suspected they’d fare no better than the monks, and perhaps even worse…

And among them, Li Siyun’s eyelids twitched wildly.

ZhuGe Changtian and the others had not engaged these monks and thus didn’t grasp the depth of their abilities.

Li Siyun, however, had been fighting with them a while.

Although certain he could best any of them in single combat.

He knew that their collaborative efforts were tremendously powerful; even he almost capsized in shallow waters.

Now, Su Mo’s actions rendered these monks incapable of even fighting back.

They were like babies in cribs against a full-grown man.

“How did this young man develop such martial arts?”

Even then…

The thought alone made him uneasy.

In just a moment, monks lay dead or injured all around. Li Siyun propped himself up with his staff, but Su Mo was already at his side.

He smiled faintly, “Lord Li, long time no see.”

“…”

With a dry laugh, Li Siyun said, “Lord Su, your Divine Skill is truly peerless, it is admirable.”

“Su Mo’s naivety has blinded him, I lack the wisdom to recognize true talent.”

Su Mo waved his hand, “Lord Li is a respected sage of this age; please refrain from jesting at my expense.”

“Definitely not…”

Li Siyun hurriedly replied, “As matters of today have concluded, and I have urgent affairs to attend to, I must bid my farewell.”

After saying that, he turned to leave.

But after just one step, he found himself immobilized on the spot.

A chilling Sword Intent surged to the heavens, and an almost sinister Sword Intent lightly pressed against his nape.

This Sword Intent was not as grand as the Divine Rainbow Heart Seeking Sword, nor did it change forms as much.

But it was deep and contained to the extreme, ready to explode at the slightest movement.

For Li Siyun, any heist would likely entail only one outcome.

And that was death!

“Lord Li, where do you intend to go? It’s rare for us to meet; wouldn’t it be a waste not to stay for a chat?”

Su Mo’s voice came from behind, every word piercing Li Siyun’s heart.

Li Siyun sighed helplessly and turned to glance at Su Mo:

“I don’t believe you would kill me.”

“Do you believe that you truly can’t leave through that door today?”

“… I believe.”

After Li Siyun responded, he simply sat down on the ground with a thump:

“Fine, fine, if you won’t let me leave, old man, I won’t. Humph, the youth of today no longer know gratitude… just now, I saved your life. And see what good that did me, you take advantage of my goodwill, lured me out and now act so rudely… ah, the good old days are gone, the good old days…”
