Why were Fang Lingyu and the four inner sect disciples here?
Why had the powerful spirit beasts that originally lived in the depths of the Demon Dragon Cave appeared in the outer areas?
After thinking for a moment, Su Xiaomo felt there must be a connection between these two things—she’d very likely been set up by them!
In any case, her cultivation level had already been exposed.
Since this woman was extremely suspicious and currently full of killing intent, there was no point in pretending anymore. Time to lay all cards on the table!
This wasn’t about revealing her identity as a Wangu Sect disciple, but rather facing Fang Lingyu—who acted so high and mighty—as well as the four inner sect disciples wagging their tails behind her, as a true man.
Come on!
Let’s have a good fight!
In this moment, Su Xiaomo radiated a proud aura.
That was the imposing manner of Wangu Sect, that was the aura of iron bones clanging!
However, Fang Lingyu sneered coldly: “Although your strength is formidable, you’re now severely injured. What right do you have to act arrogant before me?”
Su Xiaomo said proudly: “Even though I’m severely injured, I can still deal with you worthless trash.”
“Arrogant!”
“Presumptuous!”
Two inner sect disciples could no longer endure it. Gathering spiritual energy in their palms, they shouted: “Junior Sister Xia, quickly move aside. Your senior brothers will teach this ignorant fool a lesson!”
Naturally, Xia Shuiyun wouldn’t leave Su Xiaomo’s side.
She wanted to speak up and mediate.
To prevent things from escalating to fellow disciples fighting each other.
However, just as she was about to speak, she was pushed away, pushed to the back.
“Swish!”
Su Xiaomo took a step forward, turning his back to Xia Shuiyun and said: “Stand there and don’t move.”
These four words conveyed boundless love, yet also carried a commanding tone, making Xia Shuiyun hesitate to speak, then obediently stand behind.
“My master once taught me that in dealing with people and situations, I should keep a low profile and not be competitive or aggressive.” Su Xiaomo adjusted her mask with her hand, her gaze gradually turning cold and severe as she said: “But if others go too far, when pushed beyond the limit, there’s no need to endure any longer!”
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
The two inner sect disciples swung their fists toward her!
With Xia Shuiyun no longer at her side, they had no more reservations!
“Smack! Smack!”
Su Xiaomo caught both their fists, saying coldly: “Mere Wuwang cultivation level, yet you dare strike before a Wuhuang. Who gave you such courage?”
“Swish, swish!”
Infusing her palms with spiritual energy, she directly lifted the two inner sect disciples up and fiercely flung them away.
“Boom! Boom!”
Just at this moment, the other two stepped forward, their spiritual energy-infused fists striking Su Xiaomo’s chest. But they quickly widened their eyes in shock, because she stood rooted in place, solid as a rock!
This person was clearly severely injured!
Why did it feel like she could still continue fighting!
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
A powerful Wuhuang pressure surged around Su Xiaomo. Her hands gripped the wrists at her chest and forcefully swung them left and right.
“Boom! Boom!”
The two inner sect disciples made intimate contact with the wall face-first.
These Taixuan Holy Sect inner sect disciples were previously designated to enter the Ten Complete Spirit Control Tower as key talents cultivated by the sect. Their strength was all at the Wuwang level, yet facing the injured Su Xiaomo, they still couldn’t withstand a single blow.
“Damn it!”
“Everyone attack together!”
The four disciples scrambled to their feet, their eyes flashing with fury!
Having already resorted to taking advantage of someone’s misfortune, they certainly didn’t care about ganging up on one person!
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
Spiritual energy howled and erupted, various fist imprints manifesting.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom!”
Even though severely injured, Su Xiaomo still used magnificent footwork to break through all the martial techniques. But because of aggravating her injuries, her facial expression became ferocious once again.
The spirit beast’s dying struggle had caused her significant harm. If she continued fighting, it would only make her injuries worse.
The four inner sect disciples naturally saw this and continued launching stronger attacks, even deliberately avoiding direct clashes and adopting a strategy of attrition to drag things out.
Under this offensive, Su Xiaomo’s injuries grew worse and her spiritual energy rapidly depleted.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Caught off guard, she was ambushed from behind!
“Wah!”
Su Xiaomo spat out a mouthful of blood, the pain from her meridians making her features contort to the extreme.
Seeing this, Xia Shuiyun’s heart felt a piercing pain.
She wanted to speak up and stop this, she wanted to rush forward and protect this man who had repeatedly saved her from danger.
But…
He had also told her to stand still and not move!
After an inner struggle, Xia Shuiyun chose to continue standing!
“Boom! Boom!”
Su Xiaomo was struck again, her body staggering backward several steps, then she raised her head with difficulty, her eyes flashing with fury.
Fang Lingyu, who had been observing from the sidelines, signaled for the four to stop, adopting the manner of a high and mighty empress as she said: “Since you’ve entered Taixuan Holy Sect, you must learn to understand the rules.”
“Understand your rules?”
“That’s right.”
Su Xiaomo laughed bitterly: “Always suppressed by Lu Qianqian, only managing to rise after she was expelled—do you really think you’re some heaven’s pride daughter?”
Xia Shuiyun’s face changed drastically as she thought: “This is bad!”
Senior Sister Fang’s greatest taboo was not allowing anyone to mention Lu Qianqian in front of her!
Indeed!
When Fang Lingyu heard Su Xiaomo’s words, the killing intent in her eyes became even more intense, reaching a point where it wasn’t hidden at all!
“Trash whose cultivation was abolished by the higher-ups has no qualification to be mentioned in the same breath as me!” She said coldly, her right hand resting on the sword hilt at her waist as she drew the sword with a sharp ring.
“Trash?”
Su Xiaomo’s killing intent also rose.
Daring to humiliate eldest senior sister—this old lady will make you regret it today!
“Swish!”
Su Gousheng didn’t hesitate to retrieve a healing pill from her spatial ring and swallow it.
“Tch.”
One inner sect disciple saw this and said disdainfully: “With your current injuries, even immortal pills and miraculous medicine are useless!”
“Daring to mention that woman’s name in front of Senior Sister Fang, you’re really an old fool asking for death!”
The other three disciples’ faces showed mocking smiles, because they all knew that senior sister would definitely not let this person off lightly.
“Swish!”
Fang Lingyu suddenly swung her sword, her killing intent unprecedentedly intense!
The smiles froze on the faces of the several inner sect disciples as they thought in shock: “Senior Sister really intends to take his life, she’s playing for real!”
Xia Shuiyun also realized Fang Lingyu had killing intent. Panicking, she tried to dissuade her: “Senior Sister Fang, we’re fellow disciples. We absolutely cannot kill each other, otherwise…”
“Ding!”
Just at this moment, Su Xiaomo had already appeared in the sword’s striking area.
Her two fingers lightly clamped onto the blade, as her majestic Wuhuang-level aura erupted. She said: “With this level of strength, you shouldn’t come out to embarrass yourself.”
Fang Lingyu said in shock: “You’re not injured?!”
“Crack!”
Su Xiaomo infused spiritual energy into her two fingers, and the longsword immediately shattered.
The moment the sword tip broke off, her left hand rose lightly. With a swoosh, it flew forward at extreme speed, grazing past Fang Lingyu’s left cheek, causing her pupils to contract instantly.
“Ding!”
The broken sword tip embedded itself deeply in the distant wall.
A thin sword mark gradually appeared on Fang Lingyu’s delicate face, blood seeping out as her eyes filled with shock.
“Swish!”
Su Xiaomo took a step forward, using the sword hilt section held between her fingers to slash back in the opposite direction.
Fang Lingyu had no time to resist. A faint pain rose on her left cheek as another thin sword mark appeared!
The entire process happened extremely quickly.
Xia Shuiyun and the four inner sect disciples couldn’t see the movements clearly—they only saw two sword marks suddenly appear out of nowhere on Senior Sister Fang’s left cheek!
“Swoosh!”
The Zhenyang Sword that was embedded in the distance flew over.
Su Xiaomo grabbed it, the sharp blade pressed against Fang Lingyu’s neck. Taking advantage of the momentum, she pushed forward two steps, forcing her to the edge of the wall.
She tilted her head closer, stopping at Fang Lingyu’s ear, then suppressed her voice: “I could kill you as easily as killing an ant!”
“You…”
Fang Lingyu was furious and ashamed, but because the sharp sword restrained her, she could only press against the wall, not daring to move an inch.
“Senior Sister Fang!”
The four inner sect disciples cried out in alarm.
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
Just at this moment, pressure from a Wuhuang erupted, hammering down on them like an iron weight, causing them to immediately retreat explosively, all clutching their chests and spewing blood.
Su Xiaomo turned her head sideways, saying coldly: “You’re no exception either.”
