Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 136: Chapter 113: The Strongman Holds Up the Way!_3

However, now that the challenge has been made, he could not refuse to accept.

Not to mention, he could not allow someone else to fight on his behalf.

That night, the Sword Master from Seven Extremes Hall had declared that since he was the Sword Master, anyone wishing to fight him must first defeat his underlings.

Such arrogant rhetoric might work elsewhere, but it certainly wouldn’t fly in the world of escorting through the Jianghu.

Perhaps if a few more years passed and Su Mo’s reputation was firmly established, it would be different, but for now, if he let others handle everything for him, it would inevitably give the impression of timidity and reluctance to fight.

Such a reputation, once spread abroad, would hardly be flattering.

Immediately, he replied with a carefree smile: “Very well, since the head of the household is so inclined, I, Su Mo, would not dare to refuse.”

As his voice fell, he leapt up, and by the time he touched down, he was already in front of the man: “But as a guest, I shall not overbear the host. I will let you make three moves first. Please, go ahead.”

“Indeed, you are Su Mo.”

The man sized up Su Mo, laughed heartily, and exclaimed: “Watch the blade!”

As he finished speaking, he leapt forward, holding the Golden Silk Ring Blade. With a swooshing sound, it came crashing down with great force and weight.

Su Mo stepped aside, letting the blade hit the ground, and heard a clanging sound as a faint Blade Aura emerged, cutting a line across the ground.

“Oh?”

Su Mo was mildly surprised, finding the man’s Blade Technique somewhat interesting.

In that instant, he saw the man’s Golden Silk Ring Blade suddenly lift, its blade cleaving through the air.

Su Mo lightly tapped his toes, and with a leap, he had already positioned himself behind the man, his hands clasped over his head as a shelter from the sun, watching the blade rise. It slashed through the air, emitting a sound like tearing silk.

“Excellent Blade Technique.”

Su Mo expressed his admiration.

“What?”

The man was utterly startled, as Su Mo’s movement was so swift he hadn’t even seen how Su Mo had moved behind him.

Yet, without turning around, the man shuffled his feet and twisted his waist, as he ferociously slashed with his Golden Silk Ring Blade.

The Blade Light formed a circle, sweeping out with the momentum of Thousand Army sweeping across the battlefield.

However, mid-sweep, the blade suddenly stopped, not because he didn’t wish to move it, but because he was unable to.

Su Mo’s two fingers were seen pinching the Golden Silk Ring Blade.

Those fingers seemed to be exerting no effort at all, yet they clamped down like iron pincers. No matter how much strength he mustered, he couldn’t budge the Golden Silk Ring Blade in the slightest.

“Three moves have passed.”

Su Mo smiled: “Now, please watch my move, sir.”

As these words fell, the man opposite was almost scared out of his wits.

In the exchange of three moves, he had used his best techniques. Although the extent of Su Mo’s martial arts was not yet fully revealed, the mere fact that he had been rendered powerless by just two fingers showed that Su Mo’s martial arts were far superior to his own.

If he were to face Su Mo’s moves now, he feared his own memorial service would be just seven days away.

With a start, he felt the blade leave his hand, and the Golden Silk Ring Blade had already fallen into Su Mo’s grasp.

Looking up, he saw Su Mo holding the blade in one hand, casually slashing down directly at his face.

This move did not seem to be any special technique, but with Su Mo’s powerful Inner Strength and unmatched physical strength, the man felt as if there was nowhere in heaven or earth to escape from this single blade. For a moment, he just stood there, eyes closed, waiting for death.

Luckily, the slash ultimately stopped three inches from his forehead.

Su Mo tilted his head, looking at the man.

Since the man had not yet turned around, Su Mo reversed the blade, switching to a backhanded grip and held it with a fist: “My apologies for the offense.”

“…”

The man stared blankly at Su Mo, feeling as if he had just walked the line between life and death. Why on earth had he provoked such a dangerous person?

After regaining his senses, he hurriedly shook his head: “Thank you… thank you very much.”

The situation was somewhat comical – Su Mo had apologized, and the person who was offended thanked him.

What was this all about?

“No need to thank me.”

Su Mo, helpless, could only go along with it.

He then asked, “Can we get going now?”

“Yes, yes, yes!!!”

The man almost leapt into the air with his nodding head, wishing Su Mo and his party could sprout wings and fly away quickly. Looking back, he saw his men were still blocking the road and immediately waved his hand: “Make way!!”

“Thank you very much.”

Only then did Su Mo bow with his fists and say, “Sorry for the disturbance. It was inconsiderate of us. Next time we pass this way, I’ll prepare a modest gift for the leader. I hope the leader won’t look down on it.”

After finishing, he handed back the Golden Silk Ring Blade.

The leader, perhaps with something on his mind, subconsciously accepted the blade but forgot to respond.

Su Mo thought for a moment but did not take offense. Instead, he turned around, mounted his horse, and called out, “Let’s go!”

The caravan slowly passed through the lane lined with dozens of strapping men and was soon far away.

However, the leader still hadn’t snapped out of his daze.

A few men hesitated before approaching, “Boss… Boss, are you alright?”

“What did he mean when he was leaving?”

“What did he mean?”

The leader jumped high and said anxiously, “Great trouble is upon us! Obviously, Su Mo bears a grudge. He said there would be a modest gift later, which means this isn’t over. Telling us not to despise it means none of us will be able to escape!!”

“Ah?”

“We… we shouldn’t have let them go just now!”

“Nonsense!”

The leader was even angrier, “If we hadn’t let him go, do you want us all to die here? I used all three of my ultimate techniques and didn’t even touch a single hair on him. His martial arts are so advanced, it’s limitless. The news from Xuanji Valley was true. If I had known this, I wouldn’t have stopped them.

“With all of you combined… you’re no match for him alone.”

“So… what should we do now?”

“What should we do?”

The leader pondered for a moment, “The best plan for now is to get out of here!”

“But, we’ve only just settled down here, we haven’t even established our footing. If we leave, our reputation amongst the Green Forest…”

“Reputation can be restored, but life is irreplaceable.”

The leader angrily said, “Su Mo’s martial arts are too powerful. If he really wanted to kill, none of you could dodge his moves. No, this place is no good anymore. We must leave quickly. They’re on an escort mission right now, so he’s temporarily unable to split his attention. But if he finishes this delivery and comes back for revenge, all of our lives and belongings will be left behind.

“Let’s go, let’s go now, not a moment to waste.”

In all honesty, Su Mo’s words did not have an ounce of that implication.

The strong men who had just settled down on this mountain would take up a nighttime move out of an overinterpretation of the situation. If the truth were known by Su Mo, he would probably be shocked for a year.
