Chapter 660: Chapter 287: Why Cry?_3
“What are you planning to do next?”
Xiu Lan halted in her steps, her slightly stiff expression gradually revealing a smile.
She immediately approached Su Mo with light and agile steps.
Only after a slight bow did she speak:
“This humble woman…”
As she started speaking, only uttering two words, she heard an ominous gust of wind before her.
Suddenly looking up, Su Mo’s palm was already closing in on her.
She hastily tried to defend herself, but although her martial arts were not bad, how could they compare with Su Mo’s?
If it hadn’t been for her vigilance when Su Mo had started his ruthless slaughter just now, she would have already been dead.
At this moment, her defensive pose was easily broken by Su Mo’s flick of a finger, and with a casual palm strike to her forehead, she fell dead without even uttering a groan.
In her wildest dreams, she probably never anticipated that upon uttering just two words, Su Mo would already resort to a merciless killing move.
Yet, Su Mo frowned:
“She’s been quietly compliant until now; I had thought she had some tricks up her sleeve.
“So it turns out she was using that very moment to cast the Charming Heart Technique…
“Did she really mistake me for Old Hu?”
“She indeed harbored great ambition.”
Yang Xiaoyun shook her head gently: “And she even dared to address herself as ‘this humble woman’…”
While speaking, she gave Su Mo a thoughtful look.
Su Mo coughed: “You say, if we just killed her like this, would Old Hu blame me for ruthlessly destroying a beauty?”
“What else? Are you planning on presenting her to Old Hu to take in as a concubine?”
Yang Xiaoyun gave Su Mo a blank look: “Although it’s fine for you to decide on taking a concubine for your subordinates, this Heart Demon is no serious woman and could easily set Old Hu’s backyard ablaze.”
Su Mo was at a loss for words; when had he ever harbored such thoughts?
Moreover, with all these matters yet unresolved upon him, how could he bother with others?
Shaking his head, he approached the Master of Wangxuan Mountain:
“Some said today that I punished without teaching, but in truth, I really have nothing to say to you.
“However, since you are the Master of Wangxuan Mountain, you are indeed out of the ordinary.
“I will only ask you one question, if I, Su, kill you today, would you have any objections?”
The Master of Wangxuan Mountain looked up at Su Mo and shook his head:
“Of course, I object!”
“Why?”
“I led the elite of my Wangxuan Mountain here without ever intending to truly stand against Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort.
“Although indeed I coveted the Xinghai Relic Sand Iron because it’s a rare commodity,
“I have never once intended to harm Lord Su or anyone from your company. On the contrary, I killed a chicken and offered you all a meal.
“As the saying goes in Jianghu, one should be grateful for a meal offered.
“I hosted you with a meal, not daring to expect Lord Su to return the favor, but for Lord Su to arbitrarily kill me, wouldn’t it be contempt for kindness and righteousness?”
The Mountain Master argued vigorously, apparently, even after speaking casually about killing being at his whim, when death was on the horizon, he still did not wish to end his life just like that.
“Hahaha.”
Hearing this, Su Mo couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh: “You came with the people of Wangxuan Mountain, slaughtered villagers, took over their nests like a cuckoo, using another’s house and domestic fowls to entertain me, and now you dare claim it as a merit? Enough said, such sophistry is truly a waste of words.”
With that said, he didn’t wish to continue speaking, and casually slapped the top of the Master of Wangxuan Mountain’s head.
With Inner Strength surging forth, the Master of Wangxuan Mountain immediately bled from the seven orifices and fell dead on the spot.
And so, tonight in Tihu Village, except for Ding Wugong, all those who deserved to die had perished.
Yet, looking at Ding Wugong, there was a bit of hesitation on Su Mo’s face.
It wasn’t because Ding Wugong was knowledgeable and eloquent that he felt unable to mercilessly kill him.
It was because… much of what this man said was false.
The words he had spoken earlier, upon careful scrutiny, contained numerous inconsistencies.
For instance, he claimed to have joined the Dark Hall midway.
But if this were true, he certainly wouldn’t have treated himself as a true member of Wusheng Hall.
What kind of person he was, how scheming his nature, today had made it all too clear.
In the blink of an eye, he concealed a dozen wiles.
How could such a person truly be willing to be used by others?
Even if there was mutual use between them, how could he really affiliate himself with Wusheng Hall?
So his concern for the Da Lie Divine Blade and that sentence ‘how could it be the Absolute Skill of my Wusheng Hall’ indicated that his identity was definitely vastly different from what he had claimed.
Furthermore… Ren Xiongfei imparting the Great Transformation Rebirth Heart Lotus Scripture to him seemed reasonable in terms of timing and from Ren Xiongfei’s standpoint.
But to impart it to him was quite unreasonable.
Even if Ren Xiongfei genuinely valued his subordinate, how could he impart the Great Transformation Rebirth Heart Lotus Scripture to an outsider?
Their misfortunes blamed on Wan Cangxin stealing the scripture must have been deep secrets, not to be divulged carelessly.
When he spoke earlier, Su Mo just listened quietly, never questioning it.
But in truth, he knew all along that much in this man’s story did not add up.
Thus, he had no intention of fulfilling his promise to grant him a quick death.
Moreover, the more he pleaded for a quick death, the less Su Mo wanted to give it…
What’s more, he still intended to give Yang Xiaoyun the potion of separation.
Just for that alone, Su Mo could mangle him for thirty days and nights without feeling appeased.
This hesitation was actually about considering what to do next.
What else did this man know? How could more secrets be extracted from him?
Or could he be used for something else?
As thoughts tumbled in his mind, he suddenly laughed:
“Rare commodities are indeed precious.”
“Do you have an idea?”
Yang Xiaoyun stood aside, seeing the smile on Su Mo’s face, and she knew that someone was probably going to suffer again.
Without speaking, Su Mo approached Ding Wugong and executed the Great Opening Sun Dispersal Hand, first crushing his Pipa Bone, then crushing his limbs.
Following that, his meridians were destroyed by the Three Suns Burning Heart Palm.
Poor Ding Wugong, trapped by the Qiankun Acupoint Technique, could only let Su Mo do as he pleased while being utterly immobilized, unable even to cry out.
His immense pain had nowhere to vent, ultimately transforming into two streams of tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.
Su Mo, half-amused, gently patted his shoulder and said:
“What are you crying for, grown man? Don’t be afraid, this is just a beginning, your days of suffering are yet to come.”
“!!!!”
Ding Wugong’s eyes suddenly widened, truly not expecting that this leading figure of Donghuang would actually go back on his word.
