Chapter 422: One Punch, Blasted

Chapter 422: Chapter 423: One Punch, Blasted

“That’s right. I’m here to seize your Qingyang City’s Earth Vein,” Elder Fen Yang said unabashedly.

The members of the Baili Race were all shaken.

Just as they’d expected, the old man was here to stir up trouble.

But soon after, they heard Elder Fen Yang change his tune. “However, I’ve changed my mind.”

“Changed your mind?”

Confusion was written all over Baili Canon’s face.

‘Does this mean Elder Fen Yang isn’t going to seize it anymore?’

‘Or perhaps he saw the power of Qingyang City and didn’t dare to make an enemy of us, prompting him to change his mind.’

‘If so, that would be wonderful.’

With no vested interest, no one in the Baili Race wanted to get dragged into a deadly fight and risk suffering losses.

However, they were mistaken.

Then, they heard Elder Fen Yang say coldly, “Boy, don’t say I’m not giving you a chance to live. You have ten breaths to take your people and scram. Hand over Qingyang City.”

“What?”

“This old codger wants to seize Qingyang City?”

“He must be insane!”

Shock was written all over the faces of Baili Canon and the others.

They thought Elder Fen Yang had a change of heart and decided against it. They never imagined he would be even more brazen, not only wanting the Earth Vein but also planning to occupy the entire city.

How could Su Mo possibly agree to this?

Baili Xiao whispered, “Don’t tell me he wants to establish his own sect here, become a founder, and build his own power base?”

“That’s a definite possibility!”

Baili Canon nodded grimly.

The two turned to look at Su Mo at the same time and saw his face was dark with a frosty rage.

“You want my Qingyang City?”

Su Mo demanded in a glacial tone.

Elder Fen Yang looked down on Su Mo. “That’s right, I want your Qingyang City. What of it? You have a problem?”

Qingyang City may be surrounded by wasteland, but the Spiritual Qi inside was several times denser than in a Sacred Land.

‘A place this precious… Besides me, Elder Fen Yang, who else is worthy of owning it?’

‘I will establish my own domain here, one that belongs to me, Elder Fen Yang!’

Elder Fen Yang gloated, “Once I get rid of this little bastard, I’ll rename this place the Fen Yang Sacred Land, and I will be its Saint Master.”

“Is there more?”

Su Mo asked, suppressing the inferno of rage in his heart.

Elder Fen Yang said coldly, “And you must hand over the Nine Heavens Green Fall Spiritual Spring you stole from Emperor Heaven Valley. Present it to me.”

“Heh. And if I refuse?”

Su Mo sneered.

Elder Fen Yang scoffed, “Refuse? Then I’ll kill you, then I’ll slaughter your entire clan. I will grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes, ensuring none of you are ever reborn!”

BOOM!

The killing intent in Su Mo’s heart exploded forth.

Elder Fen Yang said with contempt, “Angry? Heh, in the face of absolute power, anger is useless. Boy, you have two breaths left. If you don’t go now, don’t blame me for what comes next.”

“Go fuck yourself!”

Su Mo shot skyward, throwing a furious punch.

‘Hm?’

‘This little brat actually dares to fight me?’

Elder Fen Yang sneered, “Heh, you ignorant whelp. Since you insist on courting death, allow me to personally send you on your way.”

BOOM!

Elder Fen Yang swung a palm down hard at Su Mo.

He would smash Su Mo into a bloody pulp as a warning to all.

Seeing this, a shocked Baili Canon exclaimed, “This is bad! Su Mo is fighting that old monster, Fen Yang!”

“These two are both so terrifying!”

Baili Xiao cried out in alarm.

The power exploding from both Su Mo and Elder Fen Yang was far beyond their own; they couldn’t interfere even if they wanted to.

Besides, they had no desire to get involved in this slaughter.

A sturdy, middle-aged man asked curiously, “Grand Elder, who do you think will win this fight?”

“I don’t know!”

Baili Canon analyzed, “It’s hard to say. Elder Fen Yang has the high ground and a slight edge in terms of presence, but Su Mo is charging forward with ferocious, death-defying momentum.”

“So you’re saying Elder Fen Yang has a better chance of winning,” the sturdy man mused.

In the face of absolute power, being unafraid of death was the most useless trait. No matter how ferociously you charged, you were just serving up your own head.

Elder Fen Yang, on the other hand, held the geographical advantage. Combined with his long-standing fame and ruthless methods, it was highly likely he would kill Su Mo and win the battle.

Baili Xiao chimed in, “Elder Fen Yang’s odds are definitely better, but Su Mo is no slouch. If you were to add Patriarch Xiao and a dozen or so other Martial Emperors, they might be able to suppress Elder Fen Yang slightly, turning this into a prolonged, brutal war.”

Everyone nodded, their eyes glued to the battlefield in anticipation of the protracted war that was about to unfold.

However…

BOOM!

Su Mo’s fist crashed violently against Elder Fen Yang’s palm, instantly obliterating his power.

“What?”

Elder Fen Yang was horrified.

But before he could retreat, Su Mo’s fist was already upon him, striking his body with unerring precision.

Without so much as a scream, Elder Fen Yang was obliterated into a mist of blood.

SPLAT!

The bloody mist rained down from the sky, splattering all over Baili Canon and the others.

It was scalding hot.

In that instant, Baili Canon and his people were completely stunned.

‘What just happened?’

‘Weren’t we all just saying this was going to be a long, drawn-out war?’

‘How is Elder Fen Yang just… gone?’

‘Elder Fen Yang was a master of the Martial Emperor Perfection Realm, famous for ages! And Su Mo killed him with a single punch.’

“This isn’t right!”

Just then, Su Mo suddenly cried out in alarm.

Baili Canon asked, “What’s not right?”

Su Mo shot back, “Didn’t you say Elder Fen Yang was strong? And ruthless? How could he have been so weak?”

He wasn’t just angry; he was fuming with pent-up frustration.

He had intentionally held back, planning to cripple Elder Fen Yang, drag him back, and beat him for a few days to vent his rage.

But who would have thought Elder Fen Yang would be completely obliterated by a single punch?

‘So what am I supposed to do with all this rage?’

‘Who am I supposed to take it out on?’

“This…”

Baili Canon was left speechless by the question.

‘Right!’

‘Elder Fen Yang was obviously very strong, so how did he get obliterated by a single punch from you?’

‘The only explanation is that Su Mo is just too strong.’

Su Mo said, troubled, “That old bastard got me all worked up. If I can’t let this anger out, I feel like I’m going to explode.”

“Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!”

Far in the distance, Netherworld witnessed this scene and was so shocked he blurted out, “Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!”

His eyeballs almost fell out.

‘He blew up Elder Fen Yang with a single punch?’

‘What kind of monstrous power is that?’

Netherworld exclaimed, “Damn it, this freak is too hard to kill! I have to find someone stronger… but where?”

“The Sacred Lands!”

Netherworld nodded grimly.

‘Judging from that fight, ordinary people can’t touch Su Mo.’

‘Only someone from a Sacred Land can kill him.’

‘The Sacred Lands don’t just have formidable experts at Martial Emperor Great Perfection; they even have old monsters at the Half-Step Martial Saint Level.’

“That’s right, I’ll find someone from a Sacred Land!”

Netherworld hurriedly left.

Su Mo suppressed his anger and sighed in resignation. “Forget it. I can’t blame you guys. If anyone’s to blame, it’s that old bastard for being so brittle. You can all go.”
