“You’re only at Level 8 True Spirit Realm?” The few of them were stunned by Su Mo’s words.
“Uh…”
Wu Sheng was amazed that Su Mo was now able to take on a Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm expert.
The same expression appeared on Hong Qingxuan’s face as well. This guy might be incredibly talented but he was still a little too arrogant!
At Su Mo’s words, the black-robed man from Cold-blood Hall’s face first showed surprise, but the surprise was quickly taken over by a scornful smile.
It was really rare to see such fearless and arrogant people!
Just then, the black-robed man’s blood red palm print was fast approaching Su Mo.
Su Mo remained calm, and his body suddenly shone with a golden light, with layers of gold scale armor appearing on his body. This gold scale armor completely covered his entire body, except for his face.
At the same time, multi-colored Genuine Vitality surrounded Su Mo’s body, and his whole aura changed. He seemed to have turned into a god of war, overlooking the world.
“Break!” Su Mo shouted softly.
He moved like a sharp arrow aiming directly for the blood red palm print.
PUFF!
With a wave of his long sword, the blood red handprint was sliced into two. Like an arrow continuing its trajectory, Su Mo’s figure pierced through the palm print, then continued to head straight at the black-robed man.
“What? How could he be so powerful!” The black-robed man was stunned at the sight of Su Mo slicing his blood red palm print with just one wave of his sword.
He suddenly stopped rushing forward, his face grave.
He had underestimated Su Mo!
Still, it would not be too difficult for him to finish Su Mo off!
“Go to hell!” Su Mo displayed incredible speed and drew near to the black-robed man in an instant.
Holding his long sword, the sword ray reached up to 33 meters tall, and suddenly hacked at the black-robed man.
This sword was nothing fancy, and was just infused with pure strength, Su Mo’s physical strength as well as his Genuine Vitality.
“How dare you!” The black-robed man shouted angrily, his hands glowing blood red, the blood red Vital Spirit coming together to form a palm print as large as a millstone, slapping at the sword.
BOOM!
The sword ray shattered, and the sanguine light dispersed with a loud explosion. The black-robed man shook violently as blood gushed out of his mouth. He had been knocked back a kilometer by the sword.
“You really are at… Lv 8 True Spirit Realm!” Shock was written all over the black-robed man’s face. In one move, Su Mo’s powerful strength had caused him to sustain critical internal injuries, and the hand that had sent out the palm print earlier was now numb!
While astonished at Su Mo’s strength, doubt also crept into his heart.
In the normal scheme of things, even the most talented Lv 8 True Spirit Realm martial artist would not be his match. Yet now, Su Mo was clearly stronger than him, which led him to doubt that Su Mo was truly of Lv 8 True Spirit Realm.
Nearby, Wu Sheng, Hong Qingxuan, and the two men accompanying them were all stunned at the sight.
Hong Qingxuan and Wu Sheng were slightly accepting of this reality as they had witnessed Su Mo’s incredible combat strength before.
The other two middle-aged men, Uncle Nan and Elder Yang, were completely floored!
“Is… is this the strength of the first place on the List of Top 100 Talents?”
“How… how could he be so powerful?”
The two men were utterly stunned. Even as experts of the Enlightment Realm who had seen much of the world, for a Lv 8 True Spirit Realm martial artist to injure a Lv 2 Enlightment Realm expert in just one move was completely unheard of.
Moreover, this was just based on pure strength, and not relying on other fancy tricks!
Although the others were shocked, Su Mo remained unmoved. He had already killed a Lv 2 Enlightnment Realm expert, injuring one was not surprising at all.
Ever since he started cultivating the “Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill”, the “Five Elements Genuine Viality” was way stronger than his Genuine Vitality. In other words, even the Genuine Vitality of a Lv 9 True Spirit Realm martial artists would be far weaker than his.
Su Mo had a feeling that his Five Elements Genuine Vitality was almost as powerful as the Vital Spirit of those in the Enlightment Realm, not to mention his nine Spiritual Spirals.
With his current strength, killing an average Lv 1 Enlightment Realm martial artist would be a piece of cake to him even if he relied on just his Genuine Vitality alone.
“Again!” Su Mo roared, and rushed toward the black-robed man once again.
His stance was extremely dominating, clearly writing the black-robed man off.
“Do you really think you have me under your thumb?” The black-robed man growled. “Today, you will die at my hands!”
As he spoke, the black-robed man’s body suddenly shriveled up, but the aura he gave off increased rapidly with a dazzling blood red glow.
“Blood Demon Transformation!” The black-robed man yelled coldly as he activated the secret skill of Cold-blood Hall.
Su Mo was slightly surprised. He had once witnessed the power of Blood Demon Transformation during his match with Mo Yue in the Top-100-talent Competition and knew that your strength would at least double after activating this skill.
This was indeed a powerful secret skill.
He did not expect that this black-robed man could also activate this skill!
“Die!” After activating the secret skill, the black-robed man’s strength increased rapidly, and he rushed toward Su Mo.
“Humph! No matter what you do, you will still die!” Su Mo did not even blink as he continued to rush at his opponent.
If he had used the Blood Demon Transformation move at the start of the fight, they might have been evenly matched, but now that he was injured, activating this move will not make a difference at all.
Su Mo did not know that there was a major side effect to the Blood Demon Transformation. Unless it was a critical moment, no one would be willing to use it!
In the eyes of Wu Sheng and the others, Su Mo and the black-robed man were like meteorites heading for a collision.
The result of the fight though, left them dazed and confused.
They only heard Su Mo yelling, “Devour!”
Immediately after, the black-robed man at Lv 2 Enlightment Realm was completely at Su Mo’s mercy and was sliced into two by Su Mo’s sword.
“Did… did he just die like that?”
“Split into two by a sword?”
Both Uncle Nan and Elder Yang took deep breaths to steady themselves, unable to get over the shock of what they just saw.
In another few years, this boy would be peerless across the entire Hong Domain!
Wu Sheng was dumbfounded. He was always left astonished in the wake of Su Mo’s improvement in strength.
Hong Qingxuan’s feelings were more complex and couldn’t help but let out a sigh. She had thought that she had surpassed Su Mo after obtaining the Legacy of Firmament Palace, but now after what she had just witnessed, she realised that not only did she fail to surpass Su Mo, the gap between them was only getting wider!
Her talents were considered to be among the best in Dark Domain, or she wouldn’t have been where she was now at the tender age of 16.
Her incredible talent was her pride and joy.
Yet in her hometown, in this poor and weak Hong Domain, her pride had taken a hit. She finally knew what a true talent really meant!
Su Mo, a talent from a small remote land, had completely changed her view on talents.
Her talent compared to him was not worthy of a mention!
Hong Qingxuan couldn’t help but think that if Su Mo was not born in the Hong Domain, but a powerful domain like Dark Domain, his strength now would be unimaginable.
As she lifted her gaze to the youth standing tall in the sky, an idea slowly came to her.
