Chapter 379 - 380: Monstrous Physique

Upon hearing this, Huang Yanchen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "Young Master Su, you’ve misunderstood," she said. "I thought it was a final burst of life before death and that I was hallucinating. I didn’t want to get Sixth Master involved, so I tried to kill myself. It had absolutely nothing to do with you."

"Yanchen was indeed thinking that!"

the Sixth Floor Master affirmed.

Su Mo had a flash of understanding. "That explains it. We’re just strangers who met by chance, with no reason to hate each other. I was wondering why you’d despise me."

"Young Master Su, we may not have known each other long, but it’s not as simple as just being strangers, is it? Have you forgotten when we put on an act to make Fu Tianbo angry? I even hugged you back then."

Huang Yanchen said, her face flushing red.

Su Mo seemed to recall something and said awkwardly, "Haha, I’d forgotten until you mentioned it. We really did make Fu Tianbo furious."

"What? You two have hugged?"

The humanoid monster blocking their path huffed, "Bitch, don’t tell me this pretty boy is your man?"

"Don’t be ridiculous!"

Huang Yanchen snapped, flushing with embarrassment and anger.

Her act with Su Mo had been purely to anger Fu Tianbo; there was nothing romantic between them at all.

To this day, she was still a virgin.

Though she denied it, she couldn’t help but steal a glance at Su Mo, only to find his expression completely blank.

’Why isn’t he reacting at all?’

Huang Yanchen thought with a pang of disappointment.

The humanoid monster in front said coldly, "It doesn’t matter if this pretty boy is your man or not. He’s dead today."

BOOM!

As soon as he finished speaking, he erupted with the power of the Late Stage Martial Venerable Realm, his entire body suffused with an icy aura.

Just as he was about to attack, the humanoid monster behind them stopped him. "Hold on. Don’t kill the pretty boy yet. Leave him so he can watch."

"Watch?"

The eyes of the monster in front lit up.

The monster behind them chuckled sinisterly. "Heh heh, just imagine it. The pretty boy will have to watch as the two of us humiliate the woman he fancies. You think his mind will snap? That he’ll break down in despair?"

"Of course he will!"

the monster in front gloated. "We won’t kill the pretty boy for now, but we have to kill that old geezer. We can’t have him interfering while we’re putting on a show."

"Then let’s do it!"

The two monsters closed in on the Sixth Floor Master and Su Mo from both front and back.

The Sixth Floor Master asked warily, "Do we split up and run? Or do we team up to take one of them down and then escape together?"

"No need to team up. I can handle them myself,"

Su Mo stated calmly.

The Sixth Floor Master frowned. "Su Xiaoyou, I know you’re powerful, but you can’t defeat these Ice Giant Beasts by yourself."

"Ice Giant Beasts? Aren’t these things humanoid?"

Su Mo asked in surprise.

The Sixth Floor Master shook his head and explained, "Ice Giant Beasts can take many forms. The two we ran into just happen to be humanoid. They can also look like jackals, wolves, tigers, leopards, and so on."

"Furthermore, these creatures are born in this place. They don’t fear the frigid air—they actually use it in combat, which makes them exceptionally powerful."

"On the surface, they’re only at the Late Stage Martial Venerable Realm, but their actual strength is comparable to the Martial Venerable Perfection Realm. If that weren’t the case, I wouldn’t have been forced to do nothing but flee with Yanchen."

"Got it."

Su Mo replied casually and began to walk slowly toward the Ice Giant Beast in front.

Seeing this, the Sixth Floor Master’s expression changed to one of alarm.

He had just explained the true strength of the Ice Giant Beasts to Su Mo, yet Su Mo was still planning to fight them alone.

’How reckless!’

However, before he could intervene, the Ice Giant Beast in front charged toward Su Mo. "Hahaha, pretty boy! Since you’re overestimating your own strength..."

"Get lost!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Su Mo caused the charging Ice Giant Beast to explode into dust, utterly and completely dead.

"What?!"

The Ice Giant Beast at the rear was aghast.

They, who couldn’t even be killed by experts at the Martial Venerable Perfection Realm, had just been obliterated by a casual wave of Su Mo’s hand.

’This man is simply terrifying.’

’Run!’

The Ice Giant Beast had just turned to flee when it found Su Mo standing before it. "When did you—" it stammered in terror.

BANG!

The next second, its head was crushed, leaving behind a single ice crystal that pulsed with a terrifyingly cold aura.

This scene left Huang Yanchen and the Sixth Floor Master staring, utterly speechless.

’Did Su Mo just deal with two Ice Giant Beasts that easily?’

"What is this thing?"

Su Mo asked, opening his palm to show the ice crystal to the Sixth Floor Master.

But the Sixth Floor Master immediately shot back a hundred meters, his face paling as he yelled, "Stay back!"

"You..."

Su Mo stared at the Sixth Floor Master, completely baffled.

The Sixth Floor Master hastily explained, "That crystal in your hand is the Ice Giant Beast’s Demon Core! It contains the essence of extreme cold. It could freeze me into an ice sculpture in a second, killing me instantly."

"It’s that terrifying?"

Su Mo looked at the ice crystal in surprise. He didn’t think the cold emanating from it felt particularly dangerous.

But the Sixth Floor Master nodded, his expression still full of fear.

Only after Su Mo had put the ice crystal away did the Sixth Floor Master dare to approach with Huang Yanchen. "Su Xiaoyou," he said, "what did you do? How is it that the frigid air here doesn’t affect you at all?"

"Probably because my constitution is pretty strong,"

Su Mo replied casually.

The Sixth Floor Master froze for a moment, then stared at Su Mo in utter disbelief.

’It can’t be, can it?’

’He’s resisting the icy aura of this place with his physical body alone?’

’What kind of monstrous constitution does he have?’

The Sixth Floor Master asked uncertainly, "You’re sure you didn’t use any other techniques?"

"I didn’t use anything!"

Su Mo said, "But I do have a way to protect Yanchen, so you don’t have to keep expending your Spiritual Qi on her."

WHOOSH!

Su Mo pointed a finger at Huang Yanchen, and a Spiritual Fire enveloped her.

"A Spiritual Fire?"

Huang Yanchen exclaimed in surprise.

Su Mo nodded. "It’s the Bone Spirit Demon Fire. I took it from an Evil Demon in some burial ground. It’ll help you resist the cold."

Huang Yanchen nodded, pleasantly surprised.

Enveloped by the Bone Spirit Demon Fire, she no longer felt the biting cold. Instead, a pleasant warmth spread through her entire body.

"By the way," Su Mo asked, "where are the Ninth Floor Master and the others?"

"They’ve probably reached our ancestor’s tomb by now,"

the Sixth Floor Master replied.

Su Mo said, "Then let’s head to the tomb as well."

"Let’s go!"

The Sixth Floor Master led Su Mo toward the tomb.

Soon, they arrived at a passageway. The Sixth Floor Master began to explain, "Su Xiaoyou, the ancestor of our Drunken Immortal Tower is buried inside this tomb."

"What about the ancestors of the other forces?"

Su Mo asked.

The Sixth Floor Master explained, "There are a total of nine passages in the Emperor’s Abyss. The ancestors of the Nine Great Forces each occupy one of them. The other ancestors are in different tomb passages."

"Is that so."

Su Mo felt a flicker of annoyance. This was getting complicated.

He was here to kill people.

If the ancestors of all the Nine Great Forces were buried in this passage, he could have wiped out all his enemies in one go.

’What a shame...’

’Looks like I’ll have to let those bastards live a little longer.’

BOOM!

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the darkness in the distance, spreading throughout the entire Emperor’s Abyss.

The Sixth Floor Master’s face fell. "This is bad! Someone has obtained the Martial Emperor’s Legacy!"
