Chapter 416: Don't Tell Me I Killed Someone

Chapter 416: Chapter 417: Don’t Tell Me I Killed Someone

The experts of the Baili Race all marveled at Baili Gu’s power.

Baili Canon also revealed a satisfied smile.

Baili Canon smiled and said, “Once Third Brother’s punch awes Qingyang City, our Baili Race can just sit back and reap the rewards.”

But in the next instant, the expression on his face froze.

A massive, shadowy form shot out of Qingyang City at an incredible speed.

“What is that?”

Baili Canon exclaimed in shock.

A horde of Demon Beasts moving a mountain was something he could understand.

But for it to be *thrown* by someone was simply unthinkable.

However, the others on the flying ship didn’t notice anything unusual about the mountain.

“Look, those things are moving a mountain again.”

“Heh, a bunch of pathetic Demon Beasts. Captured and reduced to slave labor, moving mountains without a moment’s rest.”

“They’re nothing but cannon fodder, serves them right!”

The crowd jeered.

Just then, someone said uncertainly, “Wait, isn’t that mountain moving a little too fast? It looks like it flew out of the city.”

“So what? In front of the Third Elder, it’s nothing a single punch can’t handle.”

“No need to be nervous!”

“Yeah, let’s just watch the show!”

Although they sensed something was off, the crowd wasn’t too worried.

Baili Canon also relaxed.

‘Even if the mountain was thrown, Baili Gu can easily blast it away. There’s no real danger.’

BOOM!

As expected, the next second, the mountain exploded into dust under Baili Gu’s fist.

Baili Gu said contemptuously, “Heh, trying to kill me with this piece of junk? Who do you think you’re looking down on?”

But before he could even celebrate…

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Several more massive mountain shadows appeared from Qingyang City, hurtling toward Baili Gu.

“What?”

Baili Gu’s expression changed drastically.

If it were just one or two mountains, he could still smash them with his fists.

But this time, a dozen had appeared.

And each one was larger than the last.

Even for an expert of the Martial Emperor Level, facing such a terrifying scene made him tremble to the core. He couldn’t help but feel afraid.

“Sun Emperor Fist!”

Baili Gu instantly threw out more than ten colossal, radiant fists.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM…

Each fist erupted with world-shaking power, blasting a mountain to smithereens.

*pant* *pant*

After consecutively blowing up a dozen mountains, Baili Gu was already panting and gasping for breath.

‘Thank goodness, I blocked them all.’

But just then, Baili Canon, who was behind him, suddenly shouted a warning, “Third Brother, get out of the way!”

‘Get out of the way?’

Baili Gu looked at Baili Canon in confusion.

He had already pulverized all the mountains the enemy had thrown. Was there really a need to dodge?

However, when he turned back, he froze.

RUMBLE!

From within Qingyang City, densely packed mountains came flying out—a full fifty or sixty of them, all crashing down outside the city.

In an instant, Baili Gu panicked.

‘Is this a fucking joke?’

‘I thought a dozen mountains was their limit, but they actually threw this many!’

‘There’s no way I can block all of them!’

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Baili Gu unleashed his full power against the incoming mountains. Although he managed to destroy some, a few slipped through the cracks and smashed into him.

BANG!

Baili Gu was viciously struck by several mountains.

“Third Brother!”

“Third Brother!”

“Third Elder!”

Baili Canon and Baili Xiao hastily flew down from the ship and frantically dug Baili Gu out from under the mountains.

PTUI! PTUI! PTUI!

Baili Gu coughed up dozens of mouthfuls of black blood and said, “Don’t move me. Every bone in my body is broken.”

“This…”

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

One must understand, their Third Elder, Baili Gu, was a Mid Stage Martial Emperor! He hadn’t even made it through the city gates before being severely injured.

This was too terrifying. To think someone could throw dozens of mountains at the same time.

‘Just what is the opponent’s strength?’

For a moment, everyone was silent, shivering as if in the dead of winter.

「Inside Qingyang City.」

Su Mo clapped his hands and said, “Alright, I’ve thrown out all the mountains. Now Old Huang can expand the city.”

Nearby, the Cyan Cloud Sparrow and the Ink Flood Dragon were already stunned by the scene.

It had only been a few seconds.

Dozens of mountains, all cleared away by Su Mo.

‘He’s too amazing!’

The Cyan Cloud Sparrow flew up into the sky and said, “Elder Su, your power is growing stronger and stronger. Not only did you throw dozens of mountains in one go, but you also seem to have injured a Martial Emperor.”

“Martial Emperor? What Martial Emperor?”

Su Mo asked, stunned.

The Cyan Cloud Sparrow said nonchalantly, “The Martial Emperor outside the city. His companions are kneeling over him crying right now, tears streaming down their faces.”

“Holy shit, don’t tell me I actually killed someone?”

Alarmed, Su Mo rushed toward the city gates.

Lying in a pool of his own blood, Baili Gu said, “Big Brother, run! This isn’t a place we should have come to. If we stay, we’ll certainly die.”

A being capable of throwing dozens of mountains in one breath was not an existence they could afford to provoke.

“Okay, okay, we’ll leave right now!”

Baili Canon said in a panic.

By now, he also understood that he had gravely underestimated Qingyang City. He hurriedly had Baili Gu carried onto the flying ship, preparing to leave.

‘If we don’t leave now, it’ll be too late!’

But who would have known that just as they were about to depart, a shocked voice suddenly rang in their ears: “No way, did I really almost kill someone?”

“Who’s there?”

Baili Canon frantically looked around.

Su Mo said coolly, “Stop looking. I’m right here.”

“What?”

Baili Canon looked toward the prow of the ship in terror, only to find a figure standing there.

It was none other than Su Mo.

In an instant, Baili Canon was overcome with panic.

‘When did this person appear?’

‘I didn’t sense him at all.’

By then, Su Mo had already walked up to Baili Gu. Looking at the severely injured man, he said awkwardly, “Sorry about that, I didn’t know there was anyone outside the city. Uh… you’re not going to die, are you?”

Huh?

Baili Canon’s pupils suddenly contracted.

‘Could it be? The dozens of mountains just now… were they all thrown by this young man in front of me?’

‘But he’s only at the Grand Martial Artist Realm.’

However, he could sense a terrifying fluctuation of power from the young man.

It was like facing a primordial beast.

‘Could this person be the legendary Su Mo?’

“N-not… dying!”

Baili Gu forced himself to answer.

Su Mo let out a sigh of relief. “Good, as long as you’re not dead. If I had actually killed you, I wouldn’t even know how to apologize.”

‘If he’s not dead, he can be saved.’

‘I don’t have to be inexplicably responsible for a death and make an enemy of them.’

“Th-there’s no need for an apology!”

Baili Canon’s mind raced as he said, “My friend, we trespassed on your precious land by mistake, which led to this unnecessary misunderstanding. If there’s nothing urgent, we’d like to go and tend to my third brother’s injuries.”

“Get his injuries treated? Then come into the city!”

Su Mo said.

Baili Canon hesitated. “Th-that won’t be necessary.”

In his eyes, following Su Mo into the city was like a sheep entering a tiger’s den.

Because he couldn’t see through Su Mo at all.

If they followed Su Mo into the city, and Su Mo became the slightest bit displeased, their entire group would die here.

But Su Mo gave them no chance to refuse.

Su Mo shook his head. “No, I’m the one who accidentally injured him, so I should be the one to treat him. Otherwise, if word gets out, people will think I’m unreasonable.”
