1224 Armor Devils

On a pitch-dark island, lights from a formation glittered brightly and illuminated the whole place.

After a brief moment, the lights dissipated. Four figures had materialized in the array.

Su Mo raised his eyes and surveyed the surroundings. He was quite astonished. The island he was in was small--no more than five kilometers across. It was in the middle of a black sea.

The island was as dark as ink. The sea water was totally black, looking exceptionally sinister.

Raising his head, he looked up and discovered a murky sky. Black clouds were in it and it looked about to rain. The whole world seemed cloaked in semi-darkness.

Demonic Qi!

Su Mo was shocked. The entire area--whether the sky, the island, or the sea water--was rife with Demonic Qi.

The Demonic Qi here was so strong, he had never witnessed the likes before. It was much, much more powerful than the Devilish Qi in his Billion Demonic Sword!

A gigantic transparent air shield seemed to have completely enveloped the small island they were on now.

This spot was the converging point for all adventuring disciples from the Shenwu Academy. Only these disciples could get on the island to practice, or leave.

Other creatures, whether Armor Devils or ferocious beasts, would have been slain by the island's Array power, once they approached within 500 kilometers. They could never get on it.

A few disciples of the Shenwu Academy were treating their injuries, sitting cross-legged near the Transporting Formation. They were bathed in blood and had obviously experienced a bloodbath.

"Let's go!"

After their arrival, the tall young man beckoned to the other three and soared out of the array and the island.

Su Mo and his two companions followed closely behind.

Very soon, they had soared out of the island and was above a vast, boundless sea.

Watching the dark, inky waters below him, Su Mo felt a little heavy-hearted. The Demonic Clouds Sea must be even more dangerous than as recorded. He must remain highly vigilant.

As the four soared on, they flew to the middle of the sea. Su Mo did not part from the other three. He would make his decision after he had learned more about the Demonic Clouds Sea.

While flying, Su Mo, Nie Qian and Han Ying chatted and introduced themselves.

From Nie Qian, Su Mo learned that the tall young man was Liao Yunjian. He was highly gifted and very powerful.

Boom!

After just an hour of flight, the waters below started to surge. A gigantic monster burst out from its depths and tried to bite Su Mo with a huge, bloody mouth. It was as fast as lightning.

It was a giant black python, its head as big as a palace and its body the shade of the sea water.

It could be because Su Mo's cultivation aura was the weakest among the four. The giant python chose to strike at him.

"Courting death!" Su Mo saw it and the desire to kill flashed across his eyes. He hit his palm down.

In an instant, his immense palm force had smashed down like a huge mountain, hitting the giant python brutally on its head.

BOOM!

With a loud boom, the giant python's huge head exploded into smithereens. Tiny debris burst out in every direction into the air.

The giant python had died instantly. Its body fell into the sea, causing surving waves.

"Hmm!" Nie Qian, Han Ying and the tall young man saw this and the look in their eyes intensified.

The giant python had been a Lvl 1 Class 8 ferocious beast. Its strength was equivalent to a Lvl 1 Martial Emperor Realm martial artist.

Su Mo had simply waved his hand and slain the giant python. The three of them were quite surprised.

Of course, they were not too shocked. After all, almost everyone from the Shenwu Academy was a peerless genius. Each of them possessed superior combat prowess!

As someone still in the Emperor-to-be Realm, Su Mo had slain the giant python easily. It surprised them but was not beyond their expectations.

"Ha ha, Su Mo, you are really quite powerful!" Nie Qian smiled.

"It was just a demonic beast. Nothing to boast about!" Su Mo replied.

"Su Mo, it's not a demonic beast but a ferocious beast! And a magic ferocious beast!"

Nie Qian shook his head. "A demonic beast is a Demon which can change its shape at will. This kind of ferocious beast can't. It has poor spiritual wisdom and too much brutality!"

"I see!" Su Mo finally understood. So, there were ferocious beasts which could not change their shape after all.

"Ha ha, so proud after just a little display of strength?" Liao Yunjian glanced at Su Mo and sneered. His eyes were contemptuous.

Su Mo heard him and his expression turned cold. Was he pitting himself against Su Mo? How impossible was this man!

"Don't mind him, Su Mo!"

Han Ying said this quickly. She was afraid things might come to a head and they would disband. She continued, "Brother Liao is an outspoken fellow. Don't take his words to heart!"

Su Mo heard her and quietly shook his head. He did not say more. He had wanted to give the man a warning but now thought better of it.

If he wanted to court death, he would not mind this man becoming his fodder.

Liao Yunkong thought that Su Mo did not dare to refute him. A disdainful smile lingered on his lips. He stared at the curvaceous Han Ying and a strange look came into his eyes.

Following that, the four of them stopped talking and continued to fly.

According the Shenwu Records, the Demonic Clouds Sea had a radius of 50,000,000 kilometers. It was almost the size of the entire Firmament World.

"Be careful, everyone! There are Armor Devils before us!" After flying for two hours, Han Ying spoke suddenly.

The other three heard her and slowed down immediately. Su Mo observed the place carefully and mobilized his Ghostly Magic Sight Martial Soul, but he could not detect the presence of any Armor Devils.

"Where are they?" Su Mo asked, baffled.

"100,000 kilometers away. There are ten of them. The most powerful has a Lvl 3 Martial Emperor Realm cultivation. The rest are Lvl 1 or 2!" Han Ying said with a solemn expression.

Su Mo was astonished. What kind of abilities did this woman have? How could her senses be so acute?

Nie Qian saw the astonishment on Su Mo's face and quickly explained. "Miss Nie's Fighting Soul is 'The Eavesdropping Ear.' She could easily detect any sound 10,000,000 kilometers away. She could even hear the aura fluctuations of their bodies."

So that was why!

Su Mo realized that her Martial Soul, like his, was quite unique.

"Just 10 Armor Devils. They're nothing to fear. Let's go and slay them at once!" Liao Yunjian said arrogantly. His figure streaked ahead like lightning and soared in the front.

"Let's go! We shall go and kill them too!" Nie Qian beckoned the rest and they followed behind Liao Yunjian.

Nie Qian felt quite helpless inside. He had wanted to deal with these Armor Devils secretly. He had not expected Liao Yunjian to be so confident.

That being the case, they could only move in directly and slay them.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The four of them resembled four streaks of lightning, breaking through the air and whizzing thousands of kilometers away.

Moments later, Su Mo finally discovered the 10 Armor Devils in front.

Their bodies were no different from a human being's, yet they must be more than half-a-meter taller. They were completely black from head to toes. Clad in heavy armor, their backs were full of sharp bone spikes.

"Ha ha! Just an army of ants! Go and die!" Liao Yunjiao laughed wildly, looking very excited. He dashed forward with great speed.
