Chapter 372: Breaking the Four Limbs

"Someone’s here?"

Yue Mountain and Chu Yulong were visibly startled, then expressions of embarrassment appeared on their faces.

In an instant, they realized they had misunderstood him.

Yue Mountain forced a smile. "I was too hasty just now and mistakenly thought you had taken the Divine Artifact. Please forgive my offense."

"This is no time for apologies."

Chu Yulong immediately turned and shot off in the direction of the voice.

Yue Mountain followed close behind.

The two arrived beside the Brocade-clothed Disciples, who immediately pointed at Su Mo and said, "Elders, look! It’s that shameless pair."

"Huh? It’s that kid!"

Yue Mountain’s eyes lit up.

Chu Yulong asked curiously, "You know him?"

Yue Mountain said coldly, "Of course I know him. He’s the one who just broke the seal, slapping Purple Cloud Palace in the face in front of everyone."

"I remember now!"

Chu Yulong stared at Su Mo. "If I recall correctly, this kid also provoked our Sect Leader Hua Gu. Sect Leader Hua Gu ordered that he be slapped to death the moment he’s found."

"Heh heh, I’m afraid it won’t be your Cangxuan Sect’s turn to act this time!"

Yue Mountain gave a sinister smile. "Because this kid is the number one enemy of our Haoyue Sect. He must be killed by our own hands."

Chu Yulong looked utterly confused.

’Number one enemy?’

As far as he knew, the Haoyue Sect’s number one enemy was named Su Mo. They had even issued an Ultimate Pursuit Order for him.

’Could it be this kid right here?’

’He doesn’t look the part!’

Yue Mountain stated with certainty, "You guessed right. This kid is Su Mo, the very person our Haoyue Sect issued an Ultimate Pursuit Order to kill."

"What?"

Chu Yulong stared at Su Mo in astonishment.

’So it really is him.’

Chu Yulong asked warily, "Do you need my help?"

In his mind, anyone who was considered the Haoyue Sect’s number one enemy, important enough to warrant an Ultimate Pursuit Order, had to be incredibly powerful.

However...

"No need!"

Yue Mountain refused coldly.

Chu Yulong frowned. "Are you sure?"

Yue Mountain asked with a smirk, "You don’t actually think this kid is strong, do you?"

Chu Yulong nodded gravely.

"Actually, you’re all mistaken!"

Yue Mountain explained with a laugh, "The reason our Haoyue Sect issued the Ultimate Pursuit Order was to toy with this kid, to turn him into a rat scurrying across the street that everyone wants to beat. It was to make an example of him, to deter other petty scoundrels."

"I see!"

Chu Yulong came to a sudden realization. "In that case, I’ll leave this kid for your Haoyue Sect to handle. However..."

"Don’t you worry. Whether the Divine Artifact is on him or not, any Treasures we find on him will be split evenly between our two sects," Yue Mountain promised with a smile.

With that, Yue Mountain took a Bronze Ancient Seal from his robes and tossed it into the sky. The Bronze Ancient Seal immediately released a bronze radiance.

SHIMMER!

The bronze radiance transformed into streams of ancient runes that descended, sealing off the surrounding sky.

Even the air seemed to stop flowing.

"This is..."

Chu Yulong asked in surprise.

Yue Mountain explained with a smile, "This is an Ancient Treasure I obtained from an Ancient Land. It contains terrifying Space Rules. Once it seals a space, not even a Martial Emperor could escape in a short amount of time."

"It’s that amazing?"

Chu Yulong was filled with astonishment.

Yue Mountain chuckled. "It is indeed. Now, all we have to do is catch a turtle in a jar. Both his life and the Divine Artifact he’s hidden will belong to us."

"Then let’s make our move!"

Chu Yulong urged impatiently.

Yue Mountain turned to Su Mo and said mockingly, "You, surnamed Su! Even if you were the Celestial King himself, you wouldn’t dream of leaving this place today."

"Oh?"

Su Mo looked at the Bronze Ancient Seal with great interest.

He could clearly feel the power of Space Law emanating from it.

Yue Mountain shook his head. "Don’t bother looking. With your strength, you could never break the seal on the Bronze Ancient Seal. You’re destined to die here."

If Su Mo had used the Instant Teleportation Technique to flee the moment he saw them, he might have had a sliver of a chance.

But now, it was too late.

Yue Mountain said coldly, "Actually, you can be proud. Not just anyone is worthy of dying by my hand."

Su Mo ignored Yue Mountain’s taunts and pressed on, "Are you certain that not even a Martial Emperor could escape this space in a short time?"

"I’m certain!"

Yue Mountain nodded.

He was about to say that it was too late for Su Mo to have regrets.

But in the next second...

Su Mo was seen saying with great excitement, "Excellent. I just love it when you’re arrogant enough to spin a cocoon around yourselves."

He had originally been worried that Yue Mountain and the others might escape.

If they did, it would surely be a lot of trouble to hunt them all down.

Now, he didn’t have to worry about that at all.

’A free-for-all!’

Seeing Su Mo’s excited expression, Yue Mountain couldn’t help but frown.

’Spinning a cocoon around ourselves?’

’In this situation, shouldn’t Su Mo be in utter despair?’

"Has this guy lost his mind?"

"Cornered by Elder Yue Mountain, he knows there’s no chance of escape, so he’s pretending to be crazy to try and trick him."

"Trick Elder Yue Mountain? Heh heh, he’s barking up the wrong tree this time. Everyone knows how cruel and ruthless Elder Yue Mountain is."

Everyone sneered.

In Yue Mountain’s hands, Su Mo would be tortured until he was truly insane.

Chu Yulong shook his head, speechless.

He thought, ’Su Mo is far too naive. To pretend to be crazy in front of Yue Mountain... it’s just pathetic.’

However, Su Mo wasn’t flustered in the slightest. Instead, he turned to Luo Yu and said, "Step back. Find a safe place to hide."

"Yes!"

Luo Yu ran behind a large Stone to hide.

She knew that a battle of this level was no longer something a mere Martial King like her could participate in. It would be terrible to get caught in the crossfire and die.

"Hmm? This kid still has the presence of mind to worry about someone else?"

Yue Mountain looked at Su Mo with suspicion.

In such a desperate moment, most people would be trying everything they could to escape. But Su Mo was concerned about whether Luo Yu lived or died?

’Too unusual!’

’Could it be that Su Mo has some ace up his sleeve?’

’Whatever!’

He had already sealed this space anyway. No matter what ace Su Mo had, he couldn’t escape his Five Finger Mountain.

"Kid, rest assured, I won’t kill you outright. I’m going to capture you and torture you to death slowly."

"To prevent you from escaping, I’ll start by breaking both of your legs."

Yue Mountain extended a large hand, which transformed into a sharp claw, and viciously struck toward Su Mo’s lower body.

He used his full power for this move.

His goal was to cripple Su Mo’s legs, so he wasn’t afraid of accidentally killing him.

But in the next second...

BANG!

A powerful hand suddenly slammed down on his, forcing him and his entire body to the ground.

"You enjoy torturing people? Fine. Then you can have a taste of being tortured yourself."

Su Mo stomped viciously on Yue Mountain’s legs.

CRACK!

Yue Mountain’s legs instantly shattered.

Immediately after, Su Mo stomped viciously on Yue Mountain’s arms, crushing them to a pulp.

Yue Mountain was crippled on the spot.
