Chapter 226: Joint Attack on Su Mo

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The Red Anaconda, a Class One, Level Three Demonic Beast, soared away.

Looking at its disappearing figure, Su Mo sighed inwardly.

Although he had the strength to fight it, it was still impossible for him to kill it!

Most importantly, it had intended to flee.

After a short while, Su Mo left and flew away.

Four hours later, a dozen people with powerful strength arrived at the place that Su Mo had left.

The one who was leading them was Ouyang Ping, number three among the Inner Gate of Gale Island!

Ouyang Ping looked around and realized that a fight had taken place. A corpse had been smashed into pieces, but it was not Su Mo's.

"Su Mo is still alive. He has just left. Inform the others and gather them together to attack Su Mo!" Ouyang Ping thought for a moment and commanded the people around him.

When he realized that Su Mo had killed Xiong Yue and survived the Lv 3 Demonic Beast's attack, Ouyang Ping added, "Inform Senior Brother Yin, too!"

"Yes, Senior Brother Ouyang!" the others answered.

Immediately, they rapidly pursued along the path that he left.

…

As the night deepened, the moonlight shone brightly.

Amid the thick forest, there was a low mountain with a giant stone on it.

Su Mo was sitting cross-legged on that stone.

He smiled as he looked at his waist badge.

After killing dozens of people, he had a total of 52,000 points.

As Su Mo put away his waist badge, a light flashed and a bowl-sized Rainbow Lotus appeared in his hand. It had nine lotus seeds on it. It was the Acupores-smoothing Rainbow Lotus!

However, the Acupores-smoothing Rainbow Lotus had not yet ripened. Otherwise, it would have been eaten by the Red Anaconda.

"There's no need to hurry this!"

Su Mo kept the lotus. Although the lotus could enhance spiritual power and comprehension, it would not make much difference to his current strength.

He waved his arm and multiple storage pouches appeared before him.

Theses pouches belonged to Xiao Qingfeng, Xiong Yue, and the others that Su Mo had killed.

In Su Mo's opinion, grabbing others' storage pouches was really the most profitable livelihood.

After a careful check, he found that there were over 90,000 Lower Spiritual Stones, and dozens of cultivation methods and martial arts techniques. There were more than 10 precious treasures as well.

"Is this… Golden-lined Fruit?"

Su Mo's face lit up when he took a golden fruit out from Xiong Yue's storage pouch.

The Golden-lined Fruit was a much-cherished Spiritual Fruit. It was as precious as his 100-year Red Ganoderma. It was also an important ingredient for making Level Three medicinal elixirs.

A martial artist in the Spiritual Martial Realm could even break through to another realm by swallowing it.

"One Golden-lined Fruit, one 100-year Red Ganoderma, and other Spiritual Herbs… Could they allow me to reach Lv 9 of the Spiritual Martial Realm?" Su Mo murmured.

In normal cases, these would be enough for martial artists to break through one level. But Su Mo had seven Spiritual Spirals, which meant that the Spiritual Qi he needed to progress his cultivation was much greater than others'.

Then, Su Mo swallowed the Golden-lined Fruit and refined it with his eyes shut.

The Golden-lined Fruit was really strong and it just melted in his mouth. It transformed into a pure Spiritual Qi and churned within Su Mo.

With his efforts, the efficacy was integrated into his seven Spiritual Spirals, and his cultivation increased at a rapid rate.

But there was still a long way to go to reach Lv 9!

Then, he started to swallow the Red Ganoderma and other Spiritual Herbs.

In just a short while, Su Mo had swallowed all the Spiritual Herbs.

About two hours later, it was dawn, and Su Mo opened his eyes. He had refined all the medicine. Although his cultivation had not reached Lv 9, it had reached the Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm.

"There's still a long way to go before I can reach Lv 9!"

Su Mo thought, "I don't have to devour any Spiritual Stones. Since there are many treasures in Qinghua Rift, if I can find other Spiritual Herbs that are equivalent to Golden-lined Fruit, it will be easy for me to break through!"

He still had lots of Spiritual Stones, but he did not plan to devour them. If he wanted to, he could have devoured all of those stones in four hours!

But he decided to use the Spiritual Stones to purchase Beast Souls for enhancing his Martial Soul.

From Su Mo's point of view, his Devouring Martial Spirit was what he would rely on in the future. As long as he could enhance the level of his Martial Spirit, there would be a sliver of hope for him to catch up to Shangguan Hao.

Otherwise, even if his Martial Spirit reached the Earth Class, he would still be far behind Shangguan Hao, who had a Heaven Class Martial Soul with an invincible cultivation.

"Now, just keep searching for treasures!"

Su Mo sighed and prepared to get up.

"Erm?"

Su Mo's face changed and then he smiled.

He sensed that there were over 200 people surrounding the peak.

"Haha! It seems that you want to help me progress!" Su Mo sneered and just continued to sit cross-legged, waiting for them.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

After a while, many disciples from Gale Island rushed toward the mountain.

Immediately, those disciples surrounded Su Mo.

Ling Tianxiao, Ouyang Ping, ranked number two and three respectively among the Inner Gate, and some other top experts had gathered together.

However, Yin Lige's absence made Su Mo feel a bit disappointed.

"Su Mo, you won't get away this time!"

Ouyang Ping looked at Su Mo coldly with strong killing desire.

Seeing this current situation, Ouyang Ping did not believe that Su Mo could flee. Because even the number one among the Inner Gate of the four sects would lose in this circumstance, let alone Su Mo.

"Why should I run?" Su Mo looked at Ouyang Ping and asked with a smile.

"Oh?"

Hearing those words, Ouyang Ping frowned. He was a bit surprised that Su Mo was remaining calm. He sneered and said, "Su Mo, I know that you have already reached the Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm, and have killed Xiong Yue. You have even survived the attack of the Red Anaconda. But, even so, do you think that you will survive under this kind of joint attack?"

Ouyang Ping did not know that the Red Anaconda had been the one at a disadvantage. If he had known, he would not have been so confident.

Chapter 227: Su Mo is Crazy

Su Mo glanced at Ouyang Ping coldly and scanned the disciples around him. He sighed and said, "l had no intentioing of killing, but you have chosen to die!"

Su Mo was calm and had no respect for them.

"How arrogant!"

Ling Tianxiao stepped forward and yelled in a cold voice, "Don't worry, Su Mo! Today I won't kill you, but I'll destroy your cultivation and take you to Senior Brother Yin!"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo smiled and asked. "Where is Yin Lige?"

Su Mo intended to find Yin Lige and kill him after killing these people.

"You will know after we have captured you!"

Ling Tianxiao bantered.

"Well, after killing you, I'll look for him!"

After saying these words, Su Mo stood up suddenly and shouted. "Devour!"

Boom!

His Devouring Martial Spirit appeared instantly. A strong devouring power immediately overflowed an area of several hundred meters.

A strong force appeared above his head, and the Wind sword will shot up high in the sky.

Clang!

Su Mo withdrew the Spirit-slayer Sword and approached Ling Tianxiao like a sudden burst of wind. He slashed down hard with his sword.

"What?"

Ling Tianxiao turned pale with fright at Su Mo's speed. As his genuine Qi had been controlled by Su Mo's devouring power, he could not counter the attack in time.

Plunk!

The sword radiance flashed, and boiling blood spurted up to the sky.

The second rank in the inner gate of Gale Island, Ling Tianxiao, had been killed by Su Mo in one stroke!

"Die!"

With an angry cry, Su Mo began his killing spree. Sword radiance continued to shine, and sword Qi covered the whole mountain peak.

Above the mountain peaks, dismembered limbs flew and blood spewed out like a fountain.

The strong devouring power of the Devouring Martial Spirit was like a magic spell and restricted the disciples. Before they could regulate their genuine Qi, Su Mo had already attacked them with his sword.

As he had the Devouring Martial Spirit, Su Mo was not afraid of the joint attack. Moreover, his opponents were weaker than him.

Clang!

After a short while, all the disciples were killed by Su Mo.

Ouyang Ping was still alive and laid on the ground. There was a great cut on his body that ranged from the shoulder to the abdomen. His intestines covered the ground and it was extremely bloody.

"Im… impossible!" Ouyang Ping murmured.

His eyes were filled with surprise and fear. He had never expected things to turn out this way.

Over 200 Inner disciples had died so quickly. He could not believe it even though the truth was right in front of him!

Su Mo glanced at him with disdain and sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

"Devour!"

Su Mo cried again and fully activated his Devouring Martial Spirit. The blood of the two hundred disciples moved toward him and encased him almost instantly.

Although Ouyang Ping had been alive at the start, he had been drained of his blood until he died.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Endless Blood Qi raged in his body, and they created huge waves in his seven Spiritual Spirals.

The amount of blood essence that Su Mo had absorbed was unimaginably huge. It was much more powerful than the Golden-lined Fruit and Red Ganoderma combined.

The genuine Qi of many disciples who had just died had not completely disappeared and was devoured by Su Mo.

As Su Mo had seven Spiritual Spirals, he needed a large amount of genuine Qi in order to break through. With such a large amount of Blood Qi, he broke through to the Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm in an instant.

As there were still lots of blood essence left, he continued to refine.

The Middle-stage of the Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm!

The Late-stage!

After refining all of the Blood Qi, his cultivation had reached the Late-stage of the Lv 9, nearly reaching the Peak. The ground was filled with dried corpses.

When Su Mo opened his eyes, two bright beams shot out.

"For me, martial artists and demonic beasts are the real Spiritual Herbs!" Su Mo said.

Although Su Mo had killed so many people, he remained calm.

He had to kill them as they had wanted him dead.

In the martial arts world, there was no right or wrong, only strong or weak. Su Mo was well aware of it.

Only the numerous skeletons he left in his wake could help him reach the peak of martial arts.

As it was said in his previous life: only the strongest could become the king!

It was appropriate to apply this to the martial arts world.

After resting for a while, Su Mo closed his eyes again.

Su Mo's cultivation had reached the Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm. His human body strength was equivalent to that of a martial artist at the Lv 9 as well. It was time for him to condense the remaining two Spiritual Spirals to perfect his Nine Spirals Mystique.

Since Su Mo's cultivation and human body strength had enhanced tremendously, it was easier for him to condense the remaining Spiritual Spirals than before.

In only about four hours, Su Mo had successfully condensed the last two Spiritual Spirals.

With the condensation of the nine Spiritual Spirals, Su Mo's combat strength had risen ninefold.

As Su Mo's cultivation had reached the Late-stage of the Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm, in only a few hours, his overall strength had surged more than 10 times.

"Yin Lige, wait for me!"

Su Mo stood up and left the mountain. After determining the correct direction, he walked toward Tsinghua Fairyland.

In the center of Tsinghua Fairyland was White Jade Square. Before the end of the trial test, all the disciples would have to gather at the Square and wait for the opening of the exit.

Su Mo was ready to go to White Jade Square and wait for Yin Lige.

Although only one day had passed, Su Mo no longer wished to hunt for treasures.

He had a crazy idea. He wanted to steal!

He wanted to steal the storage pouches from all the disciples at White Jade Square.

This idea was crazy beyond imagination. Anyone who knew what Su Mo was thinking would think that he was crazy!

But Su Mo was full of confidence. He had fought with Class 1 Lv 3 Demonic Beast, and his strength had increased tenfold.

He could easily kill an ordinary martial artist of the Lv 1 True Spirit Realm, not to mention a martial artist at the Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm.

For this reason, he dared to have such crazy idea.

Qinghua Rift was very large, and Su Mo spent two days sauntering to White Jade Square.

The Square must have been built by the four sects as it was huge and had a radius of a kilometer.

No one was at the Square.

There were still seven days before the trial test ended. No one would be at the Square at this moment.

Sitting cross-legged in the center of the Square, Su Mo refined his genuine Qi and consolidated his cultivation while waiting for the others.

Chapter 228: Waiting for Heroes in the White Jade Square

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Su Mo sat quietly at the White Jade Square, refining the genuine Qi, and strengthening his cultivation that had rapidly increased.

His cultivation had entered the late-stage of the Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm, which was not far from the True Spirit Realm. Due to this, he needed to strengthen his cultivation in preparation for his advancement into the True Spirit Realm.

Time flew by until it was a mere two days before the end of the trial test, and people finally started to show up at White Jade Square.

The first person that had appeared was a fat youth wearing a long purple robe and carrying a huge mace.

The moment Tao Sheng had arrived, he found Su Mo sitting in the center of the square with his legs crossed and eyes closed.

He eyed Su Mo for a while and then smiled.

He had robbed many disciples in the trial test and became wealthy from it. And he was about to do it again.

Although the seated youth's cultivation seemed to be strong, with him having entered the Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm, Tao Sheng's cultivation was stronger. Tao Sheng was already at the Peak Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm, and his strength had even surpassed many martial artists of the same rank.

Da Da Da!!

Tao Sheng slowly walked toward Su Mo and yelled loftily, "Son, give me your storage pouch!"

Tao Sheng was extremely confident in himself. He believed that he could defeat Su Mo and rob his storage pouch, even if Su Mo was unwilling to surrender it.

Upon hearing that, Su Mo slowly opened his eyes and looked at Tao Sheng. He was speechless.

He came here for the purpose of robbing the storage pouches of all the other disciples, yet someone else was going to do the same to him first!

"Are you going to rob my storage pouch?" Su Mo smiled and asked in a condescending tone.

"Yeah! You should feel honored that I'm robbing you!" Tao Sheng said loudly as if he was justified in robbing Su Mo.

Su Mo nodded, then smiled and said, "You should rejoice!"

Tao Sheng asked, "Over what?"

"Over the fact that you don't have a murderous intent!"

Su Mo continued, "Otherwise, you would've been dead already! "

Upon hearing this, Tao Sheng changed his attitude and scrutinized Su Mo again. He was doubtful about Su Mo's indifference.

He knew that only people who were extremely self-confident could be so indifferent.

Su Mo shook his head and said flatly,"I will keep this short! Give me your storage pouch and you can go now!"

"What? "

Tao Sheng looked puzzled. He was supposed to be the robber and yet he was the one now getting robbed.

"Son, don't be so arrogant," he said with a sour face.

He was furious that Su Mo was acting more arrogantly than himself.

Whoosh!

Su Mo did not want to say more. He thrust his palm toward Tao Sheng, and suddenly a millstone sized palm wrapped with genuine Qi appeared.

The palm was extremely realistic, and the genuine Qi surrounding it was exceptionally vast.

"How can he be so powerful?"

Tao Sheng was horrified. Although Su Mo did not use a martial arts technique, Tao Sheng still felt that his attack was unimaginably powerful. The genuine Qi on the palm had numbed Tao Sheng's hair. He was pale as a sheet before the attack had even struck him.

"Break!" Su Mo shouted and did not back down.

At this critical moment, Tao Sheng struck the huge palm of genuine Qi with his mace.

Boom!

His mace struck the palm and a loud bang was heard. Tao Sheng quivered from the shock, and his mace was sent flying. The palm of genuine Qi did not stop and it grabbed Tao Sheng by the neck.

Huh!

Tao Sheng was frozen with fear.

"I will say it one last time. Hand me your storage pouch!" Su Mo said coldly.

Tao Sheng's expression rapidly changed as he pondered his options. Upon realizing that Su Mo could kill him with just a thought, Tao Sheng reluctantly said, "Okay, I'll give it to you!"

Then, he took out a storage pouch immediately and threw it to Su Mo

Su Mo took the storage pouch and opened it. His face began to darken because there were only about 200 Lower Spiritual Stones and tens of thousands of gold tickets inside.

"It seems like you're tired of living!" Su Mo said coldly.

He would not believe that a martial artist at the Peak Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm could be so poor.

Su Mo then pretended that he was going to kill Tao Sheng.

"Don't do that! I'll… I'll give you all of them, alright?"

Tao Sheng didn't dare pull another trick and took out another storage pouch with a long face and gave it to Su Mo.

Tao Sheng was really depressed. He never expected that he would be robbed.

Su Mo's expression brightened up when he took a look inside the pouch. There were over 20,000 Lower Spiritual Stones and dozens of different types of Spiritual Herbs, scrolls, and weapons. This pouch truly contained Tao Sheng's entire fortune.

"You can leave! "

Su Mo took the storage pouches and dissipated the palm of genuine Qi with a wave of his arm.

Whoosh!

As soon as Tao Sheng was released, he did not hesitate to exert his body movements and run away as fast as he could.

"Just you wait, Son. This wouldn't end so simply!"

Tao Sheng was enraged while he was escaping. He planned to seek help from the experts of the Sky Yuan Sect to get his storage pouches back.

Su Mo looked at Tao Sheng's disappearing figure and shook his head slightly.

He did not kill Tao Sheng. Although he had slaughtered countless people, the ones that he had killed were either his enemies or those that deserved to die.

He would not kill innocent people just because he was powerful. All he wanted was their storage pouches.

He closed his eyes again shortly afterward and continued to refine his genuine Qi.

Another group of people approached White Jade Square two hours later.

There were eight of them this time.

They were wearing long, red robes and gave off a red-hot aura. They had all practiced the cultivation skill of the Fire System.

All of them were disciples of the Scorching Sun Sect. Apart from the three that were at the Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm, the rest were at the Lv 8.

"Haha! Not only did we kill four disciples of Gale Island this time, but we also have taken so much wealth from them!"

"Haha, that female disciple was so pretty! We should've toyed with her more before killing her!"

"Haha! Du Gao, you'll get killed by a woman sooner or later!"

The disciples of the Scorching Sun Sect bantered with each other and arrived at White Jade Square.

"Eh? A disciple of Gale Island!"

Their eyes lit up instantly when they saw Su Mo.

They were overjoyed to see a lone disciple of Gale Island.

"Hahaha! We're lucky enough to come across a lone Gale Island disciple even though the trial's going to end!"

"Kill him! We'll receive bonus rewards for every disciple of Gale Island that we kill!"

They bolted toward Su Mo without hiding their murderous desire.

"Your lives shall end now!" Su Mo said as suddenly opened his eyes and shot a chilling glare at them.

He had heard every word of the disciples of the Scorching Sun Sect and thought that they deserved to die!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Su Mo suddenly dealt three punches and three glaring rays of fist radiance landed on the Scorching Sun Sect disciples almost instantly.

The fist radiance destroyed everything in its path. The eight Scorching Sun Sect disciples were blown to pieces before they could even let out a scream.

Their blood painted a big portion of the White Jade Square red. It was a terrifying sight to behold!

Whoosh!

Su Mo waved his hand and released an airwave that seized their storage pouches.

He then packed up the storage pouches and carried on refining his genuine Qi as if nothing had happened.

The trial test was about to end, and all the disciples participating in the trial test would be returning soon!

Su Mo planned to loot all the experts of the four sects at White Jade Square!

Su Mo was also quietly waiting for Yin Lige, who would be showi
