Chapter 406 - 407: Martial Emperor? That’s All.

The black-robed middle-aged man looked utterly wronged.

He had assumed Su Mo had stolen the King of Reincarnation’s treasure, or maybe even a woman. That must have been why he’d angered the King of Reincarnation, who now wanted to personally kill Su Mo.

But who would have thought...

SLAP!

The black-robed middle-aged man viciously slapped himself across the face.

’It’s all my fault for being too curious.’

’Why did I have to ask about it? Now, not only do I know the secret of the King of Reincarnation’s humiliation, but I’ve let everyone here find out too.’

Captain Lu said coldly, "Slapping yourself is useless. Now that we know the King of Reincarnation’s secret, we’re facing a grim death. The only way out... is..."

A vicious, fierce light flashed in Captain Lu’s eyes, and he made a sharp throat-slitting gesture.

"Massacre the city?" the black-robed middle-aged man exclaimed in shock.

Hanhai City might not be huge, but it has millions of people. If we kill them all, the entire Cangxuan Realm will be in an uproar!

Captain Lu nodded. "It’s the only way to protect the King of Reincarnation’s secret and prevent him from killing the two of us afterward."

Although the two’s conversation was very quiet, Su Mo used his powerful Soul Power and heard every single word.

"Holy shit, you two are actually planning to massacre the city?" Su Mo exclaimed in shock.

The black-robed middle-aged man said with surprise, "You heard us?"

Su Mo retorted, "Just to protect the secret that the King of Reincarnation was humiliated by me, you two are willing to kill everyone in Hanhai City? That’s a little too ruthless, don’t you think? It’s completely inhuman."

"So what?"

The black-robed middle-aged man said coldly, "It’s all because you forced our hand. The blood debt for these millions of lives in Hanhai City will be on your head afterward."

"You want to frame me?" Su Mo asked, his eyes narrowing.

The black-robed middle-aged man sneered. "Heh, since you’ve already guessed, why state the obvious?"

Su Mo’s expression darkened.

If these two guys succeeded, the entire Cangxuan Realm would likely hold a grudge against him and hunt him down because of this matter.

He’d never know a day of peace again.

Even Qingyang City would be greatly implicated.

"Sigh..."

Su Mo sighed. "I originally came here for revenge against the King of Reincarnation. I didn’t want to kill you two, but now it seems..."

"Don’t tell me you think you can kill us?" the black-robed middle-aged man sneered.

Su Mo nodded. "Yes. Because I can’t let you live."

BOOM!

Before his voice had even faded, Su Mo’s aura exploded outward, causing the entire Hanhai City to tremble violently, as if on the verge of collapse.

"What?"

The surrounding crowd, who had been waiting to see Su Mo make a fool of himself, never expected him to be this powerful.

There was no Emperor’s Might, but it surpassed Emperor’s Might.

Under the suppression of this terrifying aura, many people immediately found it hard to breathe. Their faces turned pale, and they felt an intense sense of suffocation.

Even the black-robed middle-aged man’s heart trembled.

’What a terrifying aura.’

The black-robed middle-aged man sucked in a sharp breath. "No wonder you dared to come for revenge against the King of Reincarnation. So this is the terrifying power you possess... It’s a pity you haven’t reached the Martial Emperor Realm. Your death is certain."

"Haven’t reached Martial Emperor?"

Su Mo gave the black-robed middle-aged man a strange look.

’Before I came here, I annihilated several Martial Emperor Residual Souls. And I did it in a single strike.’

’The combined power of those Martial Emperor Residual Souls should have surpassed that of an Early Stage Martial Emperor.’

"You should have heard it before: all those below the Martial Emperor are ants," the black-robed middle-aged man said with disdain.

Su Mo retorted, "All those below Martial Emperor are ants? Isn’t it all those below Martial Saint are ants? Could it be that I remembered wrong?"

Martial Saints, also known as Saints.

Extraordinary to Saint.

Existences of this level have already transcended the scope of Martial Artists. They are only one step away from being comparable to the gods of legend.

’When did it become ’all those below Martial Emperor are ants’?’

’No matter how strong a Martial Emperor is, they’re still just a mortal.’

"Well, well, aren’t you a tough talker."

The black-robed middle-aged man taunted, "Fine. I’ll show you what a Martial Emperor really is. You’re dead today, no doubt about it."

BOOM!

A dense killing intent, carrying a terrifying Emperor’s Might, erupted from the black-robed middle-aged man.

"A Martial Emperor! So this is a Martial Emperor!"

"So terrifying! My cultivation is at the Martial Venerable Great Perfection Realm, but under this pressure, I actually feel like an ant."

"This kid actually angered a Martial Emperor! He’s courting death!"

The crowd, unaware of Captain Lu and the black-robed man’s plan to massacre the city, gloated as they watched Su Mo’s predicament.

They all looked at Su Mo as if he were already a dead man.

"Brat, it’s too late for regrets!"

The black-robed middle-aged man first brought his palms together, then extended his right hand and viciously struck out at Su Mo.

Hand of the Martial Emperor!

BOOM!

A colossal, pitch-black hand blotted out the sky as it descended upon Su Mo.

Compared to this Hand of the Martial Emperor, Su Mo was as insignificant as an ant.

It looked like he could be splattered into a meat paste at any moment.

However, Su Mo extended his right hand and gently tapped the Hand of the Martial Emperor, causing it to freeze mid-air.

Seeing this, the black-robed middle-aged man was completely stunned.

’My Hand of the Martial Emperor was actually blocked by him? And with just one finger?’

"What are you doing? Kill him already!" Captain Lu shouted anxiously.

After killing Su Mo, they still had to massacre the city.

If anyone managed to escape during this time and leak the secret about the King of Reincarnation being slapped and spat on, they would face a death from which there was no escape.

However, the black-robed middle-aged man ignored him, instead staring intently at Su Mo.

’How can this kid have such immense strength?’ the black-robed middle-aged man thought in shock.

Under normal circumstances, this Hand of the Martial Emperor of his should have been more than enough to easily smash Su Mo into a bloody mist.

At the very least, he should have been reduced to a meat paste.

But instead, it was blocked by Su Mo with a single finger. No matter how much force he exerted, he couldn’t push it down.

"Hmph, I don’t believe you can hold on for long!"

The black-robed middle-aged man refused to believe it. He continued to increase his power, pressing down on Su Mo.

’Su Mo must have used some kind of Secret Technique to barely block my Hand of the Martial Emperor.’

’But these kinds of Secret Techniques usually don’t last long.’

’If I just hold on for a few more minutes, his Secret Technique will fail, and I’ll smash him to death.’

RUMBLE!

The black-robed middle-aged man continued to pour more power into it.

BANG!

Across the void, the ground was pulverized by his Hand of the Martial Emperor, leaving behind a massive Palm Seal a hundred meters deep.

But Su Mo was still holding on.

Su Mo frowned. "So this is the power of a Martial Emperor? It’s not all that impressive."

He had even made thorough preparations before coming.

’Who knew a Martial Emperor would only have this much power.’

’What a disappointment.’

The black-robed middle-aged man flew into a rage. "Brat, what did you say?"

"I said your Martial Emperor power is nothing special!" Su Mo said with disdain.

The black-robed middle-aged man was so angry he started laughing. "You’re mocking my Martial Emperor power, are you? Fine! I’ll use another Hand of the Martial Emperor. Let’s see if you can block that!"

In the sky, another pitch-black hand appeared, slamming down fiercely toward Su Mo.

This was the black-robed middle-aged man’s left Hand of the Martial Emperor!
