Entangled all the way to this point, Su Mo once again displayed the Ziyang Divine Palm, with the Sword Box following behind.
Not to mention that the Night Lord is extremely clever, even someone slightly slow-witted should realize Su Mo’s identity by now.
Moreover, the Night Lord’s arrangements Along the River were destroyed by Su Mo’s hands.
Even the matter of the Heavenly Spring Twelve Swords is always entangled with Su Mo, impossible to clarify.
Just last night, I received a message about the Heavenly Spring Twelve Swords, claiming Su Mo knew nothing about it.
Only then did I come to Chimei Forest with peace of mind.
In reality, for the Night Lord, whether Su Mo knows about this matter or not is negligible.
After all, when has a mere Su Mo ever been a concern in the Night Lord’s eyes?
The problem is, once Su Mo becomes aware, the Seven Great Sects would surely be on guard.
All that I have done could very well end up benefiting others.
This is something he cannot accept.
Therefore, when I received this letter last night, the Night Lord felt his plans had succeeded.
But then... Su Mo was actually waiting for him in the Wangliang Courtyard.
What’s more unexpected was that Su Mo’s martial arts had reached such a level.
Relying on my Wuzhou divine Demon Record, I still couldn’t contend with him!
Thus, he understood why Su Mo, knowing that he was targeting Chimei Forest, did not communicate with the Seven Great Sects.
With his martial arts, he did not need to join forces with the Seven Great Sects.
At this point, the change in Chimei Forest is considered a complete failure.
But the Night Lord is not one to wallow in regret upon failure.
Facing defeat, his first thought is how to preserve his own forces, while also finding a way to escape.
Thus, he boldly questioned:
"Do you really not care about the life and death of Liuyin City?"
Since Su Mo is a disciple of the Ziyang Sect, he ultimately cannot ignore the Ziyang Sect disciples in Liuyin City!
The response was not Su Mo’s words, but the Finger Flicking Technique.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Streams of fierce wind shot forth, and the Night Lord hastily leapt to dodge.
At this moment, Su Mo’s reply finally reached the Night Lord’s ears:
"Liuyin City has its arrangements, no need for your concern, Night Lord. Just worry about your own head."
The Night Lord, while scurrying away, secretly vowed vengeance.
In an instant shift of motion, he once again deployed Abandoning Light for Darkness, rushing into the darkness.
This place, unlike the deep underground, was quite bright under the starry sky.
The Night Lord’s Wuzhou divine Demon Record, which could unleash its full power in darker places,
could be effective in dealing with others under these circumstances, but likely only delayed Su Mo for a few moments.
But the good thing is, the place is expansive... a few moments are enough for the Night Lord to make his escape.
And although Su Mo’s inner strength from the Ziyang Sect is formidable, it ultimately isn’t the real Sun.
The purple glow is just an external manifestation of inner strength, not actually meant for illumination.
Under these conditions, it definitely won’t be as effective as underground.
While mulling over this, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
He leapt up abruptly, only to hear bang bang bang, three consecutive sounds, and behind him, the tree already bore three bottomless holes.
"A coincidence?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
The Night Lord had a sudden realization, daring not to linger.
After switching locations several times, when he looked at Su Mo again, he was merely flicking both hands around, sending leaves flying chaotically...
The Night Lord watched coldly, although amazed by Su Mo’s profound inner strength.
The technique of the flicks was mysterious and profound, powerful enough with just the radiated inner strength.
Moreover, it was continuous, seemingly without end.
The depth of his inner strength was apparent.
Yet, his mind was caught in a struggle between two thoughts.
Seizing this chance, should he turn and flee, or fight Su Mo once more?
To be fair, today, the Night Lord admits his defeat; if outclassed, there’s nothing more to say.
But Su Mo has insulted him excessively!
Especially that phrase ’worry about your own head’ earlier; who has ever spoken to him like that since he entered Jianghu?
This is a singular immense humiliation in his life.
How can he willingly walk away?
He’s truly full of tricks; his martial arts are unfathomably deep, and moreover, has so many sly tricks?
Deceitful and cunning, does he even resemble someone from the Righteous Path?
How can I know now if he isn’t still putting on an act?
Actually having seen through my movements, just waiting for me to fall into the trap?
Amidst wavering thoughts, he finally made up his mind, without further thought, turned, and fled.
But just as he mobilized to move, he heard the sound of rushing wind from behind.
That Su Mo, who had been randomly attacking, had already caught up to him.
At that moment, the Night Lord was terrified, and burst out cursing:
"Surname Su, you are truly shameless!!!"
Su Mo, puzzled by all this, since the confrontation began, it’s been a contest of martial arts and wits.
Whoever is a beat slower naturally ends up getting hit.
Although Su Mo indeed possesses significant cunning, are you, Night Lord, really that naïve?
What sense does such blame make?
Immediately, he laughed heartily:
"Thank you for the praises, Night Lord. I, Su, humbly do not deserve this, why don’t we stop here and discuss everything from the beginning?"
"If I trust you again, I might as well leave Jianghu this instant!"
The Night Lord said through gritted teeth.
"Why so serious? Night Lord, are you really that petty, even making such joking statements? Could it be that you are even less mature than those children on the streets?"
