Elder Wei had not said to have Su Mo killed, but only to punish him. If Su Mo had been killed in the fighting ring, that would have been different.
As an elder, it would have been a grave issue if he had killed Su Mo, but he did not have the audacity to do so.
After all, Su Mo's status was special.
When Su Mo heard what Elder Wei had said, he laughed. He looked at Elder Wei and said, "You are no match for me and yet you dare to call yourself a martial artist at Peak Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm? You are just a small fry. You are nothing!"
Su Mo looked at Elder Wei with disdain and did not take the matter to heart.
He was no longer afraid of Elder Wei. If Elder Wei wanted to deal with him, it did not matter what Su Mo said.
Moreover, Elder Wei must be wary of Su Mo since he did not strike immediately.
The crowd was speechless. Su Mo was a tough guy. If no one dealt with him, he might become another Lin Langxuan.
"You must be tired of living!" When Elder Wei heard what Su Mo had said, he was enraged. He immediately stretched out his hand and tried to capture Su Mo.
When Elder Wei stretched forth his hand, a palm with the radius of a few hundred feet covered the sun and pressed toward Su Mo.
The palm was much more powerful than the Giant Vital Spirit Palm that Su Mo had formed. Vast energy surged and a terrifying power shook the firmament, causing the space to freeze.
Su Mo suddenly felt that even his soul was shaking. He turned pale at the powerful oppression and found it hard to breathe. He felt as though his soul had left his body.
"The Martial King Realm is so powerful!" Su Mo's eyes turned red, and he stared at the huge palm. He did not have the strength to fend off such a powerful attack.
However, he knew that Senior Sister, An Nuan, would definitely help him, although Su Mo was not sure if she could stop Elder Wei.
As Su Mo had expected, An Nuan suddenly appeared in front of him.
Lights flickered on An Nuan's hand, and a long crimson sword appeared.
Dazzling sword radiance brightened up the area, and a ray of crimson sword radiance tore the space apart. It pierced through the firmament and cut the huge palm in a lightning speed.
Puff!
There was a ripping sound and the huge palm was being cut into two by the crimson sword radiance.
The huge palm exploded. It turned into destructive air blast and surged toward the two sides.
It was a blessing that the inner elders on both sides of the mountains were at Martial King Realm. They immediately stopped the destructive air blast and prevented the disciples from getting injured.
"Elder Wei, don't blame me if you continue to fight," An Nuan shouted at Elder Wei after she had countered the attack.
"You...!" Elder Wei was mad, and at the same time, shocked by An Nuan's strength.
As one of the top ten in the List of Top 1,000 Talents, it came as no surprise to Elder Wei that An Nuan's strength was comparable to that of a martial artist at Martial King Realm.
Elder Wei's cultivation was only at Lv 1 Martial King Realm. He was not confident of defeating An Nuan if both of them were to fight!
As Elder Wei thought of this, he suppressed his anger. It would be impossible for him to capture Su Mo with An Nuan around.
Although he could not deal with Su Mo, Elder Wei could let the disciples of Holy Sky Peak deal with him. There were many geniuses from Holy Sky Peak who had participated in the martial arts competition. No matter how powerful Su Mo was, he would definitely be killed by the geniuses if he dared to take them on!
When Elder Wei thought of it, he took a deep breath. He looked at Su Mo and said, "Su Mo, I will let you off for now!"
Su Mo looked expressionless. He did not think that Elder Wei would let him off so easily, but he was not afraid.
An Nuan sighed, and after pondering for a while, she said to Su Mo, "11th Junior Brother, you'd better leave first."
An Nuan was worried that there were more the geniuses from Holy Sky Peak getting into the fighting ring to challenge Su Mo, so she asked him to get out of it.
"Alright!" Su Mo nodded. He had thought of challenging Jiang Chi, but since he had displayed his strength, Jiang Chi would not be so foolish to court his own death.
Su Mo moved his body, and he went back to the peak of the mountain with An Nuan.
There was a moment of silence. Elder Hu from Great Heaven Peak then stood up and announced that they should continue with the competition.
After 10 minutes, no one stepped into the fighting ring. Other than Towering Sky Peak, the rest of the eight mountains were in an uproar. Many of the people were talking about Su Mo.
"Su Mo is truly powerful!"
"I simply don't understand how he can be so powerful!"
"Logically speaking, even if he has cultivated the King's martial arts technique, there is no way he can be so powerful!"
"He is incredible! He is such a genius!"
There was a great deal of discussion among the people and they could not understand how Su Mo could be so powerful!
Among the disciples, Hong Qingxuan knew Su Mo's strength best. At this moment, even she was shocked by Su Mo's true strength!
Hou Jun, who was sitting at Great Heaven Peak, looked sullen. He clenched his fists. He had never expected Su Mo to be so powerful. Even Xiao Xuanyi, who was at Peak Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm, was no match for Su Mo.
After a while, Hou Jun took a deep breath. His Senior Brother, Gong Cheng, was much more powerful than Xiao Xuanyi. He would definitely be able to kill Su Mo.
Tian Chen, Feng Shaoyu, and the rest who were on the mountain top with the disciples of Towering Sky Peak were full of praises for Su Mo.
"I'm impressed, 11th Junior Brother!" Tian Chen laughed and said.
"11th Junior Brother, your strength is far beyond mine now!" Feng Shaoyu shook his head and said wryly.
For the past few months, Feng Shaoyu had advanced greatly in his cultivation. Although his cultivation was one level below Su Mo, Feng Shaoyu had thought that his strength would be on par with him. However, judging from the current situation, there was a big gap between the two of them.
"Hohoho! Eighth Senior Brother, no need to be humble. If you are on my level of cultivation, your strength will be comparable to mine!" Su Mo smiled and said.
When Feng Shaoyu heard it, he shook his head. He was well aware of his own strength. Even if his cultivation was on par with Su Mo, Feng Shaoyu's strength would still be far from him.
"11th Junior Brother, don't go to the fighting ring for the time being. If not, the men from Holy Sky Peak will seek revenge on you." Hua Suiyu said to Su Mo, "Why don't you take a rest first while I loosen up my muscles?"
Su Mo nodded his head.
Immediately, Hua Suiyu, who was in a long flowery dress, shot out toward the fighting ring.
When the people saw Hua Suiyu in the fighting ring, they quietened down. They knew that the fight between the experts in outer sect was about to begin.
When the peerless geniuses from the eight peaks saw Hua Suiyu in the fighting ring, they would definitely join her. The rest of the fights would be among the peerless geniuses.
