While flying through the air, Su Mo saw Han Qianze and Wu Sheng fighting below him.
Then, he glanced at Li Hai's group and sighed. He decided to give up on his pursuit and head toward the forest instead.
With his speed, it wasn't possible to catch up with those three. Since he failed to kill them in Skywind Valley, he had lost the chance to do so.
In the forest, the two incredibly powerful black-robed young men were at Peak Lv 5 True Spirit Realm, so they even overpowered Wu Sheng's larger group.
A couple geniuses were quickly killed, leaving only Wu Sheng, Han Qianze, Han Yijian, and Zhu Shaojing.
Wu Sheng and Zhu Shaojing fought one young man together, while Han Qianze and Han Yijian fought the other. All four of them were hanging on by a thread and would undoubtedly be killed soon.
"Blood Devil's Great Handprint!" the two black-robed young men yelled, sending out continuous giant bloody handprints that battered the four geniuses until they vomited blood.
"How do you know Blood Devil's Great Handprint?" Zhu Shaojing exclaimed. Blood Devil's Great Handprint belonged to Cold-blood Hall and was a unique skill of Mo Yue, so these two men shouldn't have known it.
"A dead man asks no questions!" a black-robed young man said with a cold laugh. He shook his head in disdain and said, "You geniuses of Hong Domain are absolute trash. I'm surprised you have the confidence to come to Firmament Divine Realm!"
These two black-robed youn gmen were only the weaker of the Top 100 Talents of all the domains, but these people were even weaker than they were, which proved that they were trash!
Han Qianze and the others were all stone-faced. They were exceptional geniuses in Hong Domain, but they were small fries in Firmament Divine Realm.
"Time for you to die!" the two black-robed young men flew forward, surrounded by boiling red Genuine Vitality, and prepared to kill their four opponents.
"Did you just call geniuses of Hong Domain trash?" a cold voice suddenly sounded as a handsome young man descended from the sky.
It was Su Mo.
"Su Mo!" Han Qianze's group was overjoyed to see him, because he might just be powerful enough to fend off their two enemies.
"A Lv 7 True Spirit Realm martial artist!"
As soon as the two black-robed young men saw Su Mo and felt his aura, their expressions changed, and they stopped in their tracks.
"Sir, why are you interfering with our business?" asked a tall and pale black-robed young man with a frown.
"Didn't you just call geniuses of Hong Domain trash? I'm from Hong Domain!" Su Mo sneered.
"What?"
The two young men were shocked. "How can such a lowly domain like Hong Domain produce someone at Lv 7 True Spirit Realm?"
Their expressions slightly changed, and the pale young man clasped his fist to Su Mo and said, "We were just joking, so please do not be offended. We'll just be on our way!"
Then, they backed up quickly to escape, aware of the fact that they obviously couldn't defeat Su Mo.
"Do you think you can just leave?" Su Mo shook his head and attacked. His sharp sword Qi tore through the air and instantly reached the two black-robed young men.
"No!" roared the two black-robed young men angrily. They resisted furiously, but to no avail.
Swish! Swish!
With a single stroke, the two men were instantly sliced in half and spewed blood everywhere.
They were instantly killed with no chance of fighting back.
"How... how could this be?" Wu Sheng's group was completely stunned and stared in disbelief.
How could Su Mo be so powerful to instantly kill two martial artists of such calibre?
The four men could not wrap their head around this.
"Su... Su Mo, you've reached Lv 7 True Spirit Realm?" Han Yijian asked with shock and uncertainty after sensing Su Mo's aura.
Although he had sensed Su Mo's cultivation, he had to ask again because he couldn't believe it.
During the Top-100-talent Competition, Su Mo was only at Lv 4 True Spirit Realm. In two days' time, he had gone up three whole levels, which was absolutely absurd.
Even elixirs couldn't do this much, because each realm had a cultivation bottleneck that could not be broken by taking elixirs.
Also, two hours ago, in Skygale Valley, Su Mo was only at Lv 5 True Spirit Realm. There was no way he increased by two levels in two hours' time!
The other three also stared at Su Mo dazedly.
"Yup!" Su Mo nodded slightly, glanced at the injured martial artists, and asked, "Are you alright?"
All four did not speak but blankly shook their heads. Their minds were being rocked like an earthquake.
Su Mo's godlike cultivation speed baffled them.
Su Mo lifted his chin, walked up to the two black-robed young men, and only took their storage rings instead of devouring them.
He did not devour them because the other four people were here, but also because these two men's blood essence and Genuine Vitality would not make a large impact on his Lv 7 cultivation.
"Why did you start fighting? Were they trying to kill you and steal your treasures?" asked Su Mo.
The four were brought back into consciousness by Su Mo's words and told him what happened.
Then, Su Mo took out six purple fruits from the storage rings. They were Purple Nanmu Fruits, a priceless treasure that could increase one's cultivation.
The fruits were the spoils that the Hong Domain geniuses and the black-robed young men were fighting for.
Su Mo took two and gave one to each of the four martial artists.
"Su Mo... we..." They held the fruits with complex expressions. They had not expected Su Mo to return the fruits to them.
This kind of treasure was extremely hard to come by, so why was Su Mo being so generous?
"Alright, you should go heal your wounds!" Su Mo shook his head and said casually.
Although Purple Nanmu Fruit was precious, it wasn't very useful to him at the moment. Even if it was many times more powerful, it would not increase his cultivation by much.
The four geniuses took a deep breath, looked at Su Mo gratefully, and sat down cross-legged to begin treating their injuries.
Su Mo also sat down nearby under a large tree.
His cultivation had increased too quickly and needed to be fortified. As he cultivated, Su Mo also came to a realization.
His current strength wasn't unparalleled among all the geniuses, but it was basically at the top. The entire Firmament Divine Realm was his oyster.
