Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Su Mo felt heartened when he saw Xiang Laosan and Qin Busi again.
Time flew by quickly and a decade passed by in the blink of an eye.
With a deep sigh, Su Mo sat down crossed-legged and began to wait patiently.
The contest had yet to begin and Su Mo thought that he would take the time to cultivate.
Occasionally, groups of experts would arrive together while some other sole experts would arrive by themselves.
More and more experts gathered at the spot and soon, there were about five to six hundred men in the plains.
The Undying Tribe, True Spirit Tribe, Giant Bird Tribe, as well as other top tribes arrived with strong auras dominating the skies.
These three tribes each had exceptional Great Saints who were ranked in the top ten of the Ten Great Saints.
However, Su Mo did not bother about these tribes and he only waited for the Sky Tyrant Tribe to arrive.
About fifteen minutes later, the experts of the Sky Tyrant Tribe finally arrived.
A large group of figures flew across the air followed by an intense killing intent.
“What a strong killing intent!”
“The Sky Tyrant Tribe must be prepared for what is to come!”
“Their killing intent is evidently strong!”
Numerous people started to mutter among themselves. They didn’t need to think twice to know that the Sky Tyrant Tribe was hellbent on killing Su Mo.
Su Mo slowly opened his eyes and observed the group of Sky Tyrant Tribe members. With the strong killing intent in the air, Su Mo’s eyes started to turn cold.
However, by this point, he was no longer afraid. Aside from the Holy Sage-to-be that led the Sky Tyrant Tribe, Su Mo was confident that no one else could kill him.
The Holy Sages were typically all old ladies who were determined to become gods and enter the Deity Plane. They would not waste their time to hunt him down.
Shoosh shoosh shoosh!
Sharp piercing sounds tore through the air as the group of Sky Tyrant Tribe members arrived in the sky above the plains.
They roughly had the same number of experts as the Dragon Tribe, with four Rank 4 Empty Gods and almost fourteen Rank 3 Empty Gods.
Li Shi and Li Qianjue were among the group.
The middle-aged man of the Sky Tyrant Tribe was muscular and he appeared as though he was made up of steel. Giant muscles bulged out of his skin, that was so black, it reflected light. One could tell at a glance that the leader was a man who had mastered his physical body.
However, what made Su Mo surprised was that he saw a familiar person among the Sky Tyrant Tribe members. It was a young man in a white shirt.
This man was Sword Saint Tianxin.
Did Sword Saint Tianxin join the Sky Tyrant Tribe?
This made Su Mo puzzled.
“That’s not right, he isn’t Sword Saint Tianxin!” Su Mo took a closer look and his heart jumped in surprise as his eyes narrowed.
He could sense a strange connection with the white shirt man. A connection that he was all too familiar with.
This man wasn’t Sword Saint Tianxin but Gongcheng Taihao.
Killing intent surged in Su Mo’s eyes. Gongcheng Taihao had actually taken over Sword Saint Tianxin’s body. What a good body he had obtained!
However, Gongcheng Taihao couldn’t have done it alone. He wasn’t a match for Sword Saint Tianxin, and he must have obtained help from the Sky Tyrant Tribe.
Yet, Gongcheng Taihao’s cultivation rank was not high. Could he control the physical body of the Rank 3 Empty God, Sword Saint Tianxin?
Possessing someone else was no easy thing, especially if the target was someone of a higher cultivation rank.
In the case that their martial arts way was different, it was hard to control the body of a target whose cultivation rank was higher. Even if one managed to do so, he wouldn’t be able to display his peak strength in the short-term.
Nonetheless, Su Mo sighed with relief knowing that Gongcheng Taihao was still alive. It seemed that the mysterious Original Soul had not attacked him yet.
The group of Sky Tyrant Tribe members surrounded Gongcheng Taihao as they lowered themselves to the ground. Without delay, their focus shifted onto Su Mo.
“Su Mo, you are bold to come!”
A thunderous voice boomed through the air, it was the roar of the steel-like middle-aged man.
This man’s eyes were like shining bells and sharp swords that pierced through Su Mo’s soul.
“Why would I not come?” Su Mo did not stand up and he fearlessly countered.
“Ha ha ha, as expected of the exceptional talent!” The middle-aged man burst into laughter.
“Rest assured, Tribe Leader. If Su Mo dares to step up in the contest, I will settle him!” Li Qianjue, dressed in a long purple robe, declared confidently as he smirked.
He wasn’t afraid of Su Mo not stepping up as, if Su Mo didn’t step up, he would be going against the promise that the Dragon Tribe had made.
Without the Dragon Tribe protecting Su Mo, it would be a piece of cake for the Sky Tyrant Tribe to capture Su Mo.
The moment Su Mo stepped up, he would be the sheep of the Sky Tyrant Tribe.
Granted, Li Qianjue would not kill Su Mo directly because he and the other experts of the Sky Tyrant Tribe knew about Su Mo’s relationship with Gongcheng Taihao.
He would capture Su Mo and help Gongcheng Taihao merge with him.
“Continue dreaming!” Su Mo ignored Li Qianjue and scoffed one final time before he closed his eyes.
“You…!” Li Qianjue glowered and cursed. He could tell from Su Mo’s eyes that Su Mo was looking down on him and hence his heart boiled with anger.
Death was right in front of Su Mo, how could Su Mo still act so arrogantly?
However, Li Qianjue maintained his composure. Gongcheng Taihao behind him waved his hand, signaling for him to not argue further.
“Brother Qianjue, there is no point wasting your words here. It isn’t too late when we step up the contest stage later.” Gongcheng Taihao raised a point. He believed that with Qianjue’s combat strength, capturing Su Mo would not be a problem.
“Mm!” Li Qianjue nodded his head as he suppressed his internal rage. This wasn’t the time to act.
Many others saw the electrifying gaze between the Sky Tyrant Tribe members and Su Mo shook their heads.
It seemed that there was going to be a bloodbath between the Dragon Tribe and the Sky Tyrant Tribe.
Many people also understood what had happened to Sword Saint Tianxin.
Three years ago, the Sky Tyrant Tribe members had captured Sword Saint Tianxin at to the Sky Tyrant Tribe near Second Mountain.
The human tribe that Sword Saint Tianxin belonged to had demanded the Sky Tyrant Tribe to return Tianxin to no avail. In the end, the superpower had suffered greatly in the battle with Sky Tyrant Tribe.
“Li Tong, it seems that the Sky Tyrant Tribe has arrived with the intent to kill?”
Right at that point, Long Chao, the Dragon Tribe Leader scoffed as he stared at the middle-aged man of the Sky Tyrant Tribe.
This middle-aged man was the Sky Tyrant Tribe Leader, Li Tong.
“Long Chao, I wonder if you will still be laughing later!” Li Tong smirked as he led the group of Sky Tyrant Tribe members and lowered towards the ground.
“We will see who has the last laugh!” Long Chao yelled. He was confident in Su Mo although he wasn’t sure about Su Mo. Nonetheless, he could not appear to be weak in front of all the superpowers.
Ignoring Long Chao, Li Tong landed on the ground and started to greet the various experts of superpowers.
The crowd continued to wait. By then, aside from some obscure tribes and superpowers, the True Demon Tribe and Sky Demon Tribe had yet to arrive. This included Tuo Si and Tu Ying.
Everyone continued to wait.
A few moments later, Su Mo’s eyebrows started to etch together from as he sat down cultivating. He felt a poisonous and murderous pair of eyes locking onto him.
This pair of eyes did not belong to the Sky Tyrant Tribe nor the Sorcerer Tribe as these two tribes did not have such intense glares.
Su Mo couldn’t help opening his eyes as he looked into the distance. He instantly turned blank.
He spotted a familiar figure wearing a black shirt. This man had a cold face and his eyes glared murderously.
This man was Leng Xie.
Leng Xie stood behind a group of Sun Moon Tribe members. His needle-like eyes were like sharp swords that pierced the empty space towards Su Mo.
“Why are his eyes so terrifying?” Su Mo’s heart clenched. Leng Xie’s eyes were too murderous, he was like a venomous snake that was out for vengeance.
This was a glare that was driven by pure hatred.
Others would think that Su Mo had killed Leng Xie’s parents for Leng Xie to have such hatred towards Su Mo.
“Rank 1 Empty God Realm?”
As Su Mo stared at Leng Xie, he was surprised to find that Leng Xie was already a Rank 1 Empty God.
Leng Xie’s talents were not exceptional and his Blood Force had been sucked away by Su Mo. Su Mo had not expected that Leng Xie would become an Empty God in a mere few years.
However, Su Mo was not concerned about Leng Xie. Even if Leng Xie had a higher cultivation rank than him, Leng Xie was not his opponent. There was no one in the same cultivation rank as Su Mo who could rival him.
Furthermore, Leng Xie’s aura appeared rather illusionary. Su Mo did not know what technique Leng Xie used to raise his cultivation rank.
“I – Want – You – To – Die!”
Through Leng Xie’s murderous eyes and his quivering lips, Leng Xie mouthed these five words.
He had been at God’s Path for three years and all he thought about all day was how to kill Su Mo.
However, Su Mo had remained at Dragon Tribe all along and Leng Xie hadn’t had the chance to attack Su Mo. He had waited a long time for this day.
Leng Xie had not wasted three years of time and he had worked hard to cultivate the Primordial Mysterious Yin Skill. This technique had increased his combat strength by almost ten times.
“Nothing but a mere ant!”
Su Mo scoffed at Leng Xie’s words. Without bothering about him further, Su Mo closed his eyes again.
“Damn it!” Leng Xie instantly exploded in rage. A burning flame or rage scorched his heart. threatening to explode at any moment.
This was pure rage that he had suppressed for many years. However, he maintained his composure and decided that it wasn’t the right time to attack.
He wanted to kill Su Mo personally on the battlegrounds even if he had to sacrifice his own body to kill Su Mo with him.
