Chapter 1080: Chapter 427: Hidden Motives (Part 3)
Then his body rolled in mid-air and slowly landed, standing on the Heavenly Tablet.
“Why should you two care about me?
“Once I take the Heavenly Tablet, I’ll leave!
“You two can continue your life-and-death struggle.
“Wouldn’t that be splendid!?”
In response, however, came two palm strikes.
At this point, ‘Zhen Suren’ no longer hesitated. Although the Longmu Island Master spent a whole incense stick’s time passing his Skill to Meng Feifan for refining the meridians and cleansing the marrow,
even so, the Inner Strength of these two was extraordinary.
Constant evasion would only lead to eventual failure.
He might as well test his skills—if he could kill these two here, that would be ideal…
If not, then he would just take the Heavenly Tablet and leave.
Immediately, he guided his energy through his veins, condensing water into ice, forming shimmering ice crystals around ‘Zhen Suren,’ transforming them into gleaming ice needles.
As he waved his hands,
in an instant, the silver light shimmered, and the ice needles danced wildly.
At the very moment they clashed with those two bursts of Hand Power, the ice needles pierced through the layers of Hand Power, directly approaching the two men’s bodies.
But at that moment, a humming sound suddenly erupted.
The Inner Strength that exploded from the two men’s bodies kept the ice needles three inches away, vibrating incessantly!
Following this, the needles were suddenly sent flying backward.
Hundreds of ice needles turned into a dragon and rebounded toward ‘Zhen Suren.’
‘Zhen Suren’ sprang, treading on the ice needles, which then all struck the cave wall behind him.
The impact caused the cave wall to tremble, revealing hundreds of tiny holes.
This scene made ‘Zhen Suren’ narrow his eyes:
“Such profound Inner Strength!”
“This is the Mystic Ice Seven Extremes… who exactly are you?”
Meng Feifan, witnessing this, could not help but shout angrily:
“Years ago, among the Medicine Slaves who escaped from Longmu Island, one was taught this skill by the Great Medical Officer.
“Your actions are so furtive, not in the style of the Dragon King Hall.
“Could you be that Medicine Slave’s heir?”
“Such words are indeed distressing.”
‘Zhen Suren’ merely smiled:
“To be honest, I am just a benevolent wanderer of Nanhai.
“Some years ago, while sailing at sea, I came across a person drifting in the water.
“Being kind-hearted, I couldn’t leave him to become fish food, so I saved him.
“In gratitude, he revealed many secrets to me.
“Of course, these matters took several years.
“It was only recently that I found a way to come here, with the intent of avenging him…
“But now it seems that killing you is somewhat difficult.
“Luckily, the Island Master chose such a time to pass down his legacy, presenting an excellent opportunity to leave the island.
“Today, I can let go of this revenge.
“I’ll take the Heavenly Tablet—consider it collecting a little interest—which isn’t too much, is it?”
This is utter nonsense!
Both the Island Master and Meng Feifan could clearly understand.
What benevolent person?
Whether he saved anyone or not is questionable, but revenge?
He hadn’t even thought about it.
His purpose for coming here is probably just to take the Heavenly Tablet!
Where did this scourge come from?
He previously disguised himself as someone from the Dragon King Hall, committing murder in the Scripture Cave.
He redirected Longmu Island’s attention to searching for the Dragon King Hall.
So much so that no one realized this person was hiding in the Scripture Cave, and moreover, was selected as an elite to participate in this secret mission!
Now, the opportunity is lost, and with both men unable to move, even though they cannot do anything about this person, if he seeks to seize the Heavenly Tablet, they are powerless to stop him!
“You scoundrel! Without the Heavenly Tablet, both of us must die here!”
The Island Master of Longmu Island roared angrily:
“Get lost!?”
“If I leave, wouldn’t it mean abandoning this once-in-a-lifetime chance, never to have a second one?”
Meng Feifan sneered:
“If he wants to take the Heavenly Tablet, let him have it…”
“You understand nothing!”
The Island Master of Longmu Island was furious.
‘Zhen Suren’ was uninterested in listening to their argument any longer. He kicked the Heavenly Tablet into the air, and amid the whirring sound, reached out to grab it, slinging it over his shoulder:
“Goodbye!”
After saying this, he turned to leave.
But in the next moment, his footsteps froze.
Cold sweat trickled down his face.
The Longmu Island Master and Meng Feifan sensed that something was amiss, but their obstructed view made it unclear what ‘Zhen Suren’ had seen.
Only a voice was heard laughing:
“Brother Ye… this doesn’t quite match what you told me before, does it?
“How do I recall you claiming to be a disciple of the Great Medical Officer?”
“…”
‘Zhen Suren,’ also known as Ye Youchen, looked at a young man who had appeared behind him at some point, carrying a girl, and gave a dry smile:
“Lord Su… why is it that every time you appear, it’s so elusive?
“This… perhaps there’s some misunderstanding?
“Can I explain myself a little?”
“No need.”
Su Mo shook his head: “Brother Ye now only has two things to do.”
“…I await Lord Su’s instruction.”
“Put down that Stone Tablet.”
Su Mo pointed at the Heavenly Tablet on his shoulder.
Without a word, Ye Youchen obediently put the Heavenly Tablet down.
Then he forced a faint smile:
“And then?”
“The second thing… doesn’t require Brother Ye to act.”
As these words fell, a wisp of finger wind suddenly rose.
Ye Youchen’s body transformed, avoiding this wisp of finger strength entirely.
“Lord Su’s Divine Skill is unparalleled, today’s grace… ouch!”
The words hadn’t finished when a large foot stamped on his face.
His entire body was kicked into the air.
As he flew through the air, Su Mo swiftly struck several acupoints on him, so after landing, he remained in a posture of flying backward with his hips out, immobilized completely.
He couldn’t even move his eyes.
Su Mo then lightly landed from mid-air.
He glanced at Meng Feifan, who was above the Longmu Island Master’s head, and sighed:
“Senior Meng, this wasn’t as we agreed.”
“…It seems Stone City was ultimately unable to stop you.”
Meng Feifan’s face turned grim, as per his calculation, Su Mo’s arrival should have been later.
By then, everything would have been settled.
But now, why has he come so quickly?
Are the Thirty-two Laws all dead?
“Stone City?”
Su Mo was taken aback at those words: “When did he ever stop me? I’ve never even seen him…”
