Chapter 590: Chapter 264 Xu Lu Takes Action_2
Just as he had taken hardly two steps, a loud yelling was heard.
Following that, the crowd parted to both sides, and the sound of horse hooves approached from a distance, arriving in no time.
Sitting atop the horse was a man in splendid attire, adorned with gold and jewels, clearly of high status.
His face bore an air of authority, signaling his high-ranking position.
His gaze swept across Su Mo and his companions one by one, before he quickly dismounted and clasped his hands in salutation:
“I had no idea that Su, the Chief of the Ziyang Escort Agency, was gracing us with his presence. Failing to welcome you from afar, Zeng Youwang deserves to die a thousand deaths.”
As he spoke, he even made as if to kneel.
From beneath Su Mo’s sleeves, a gust of wind flickered his fingers, causing Zeng Youwang to immediately stand erect, and amidst his stupefaction, he heard Su Mo burst into laughter:
“Alliance Leader Zeng is too courteous. I am merely a First Grade Escort Master of the escort agency, how can I deserve such an esteemed reception?
“And how did Alliance Leader Zeng know that I would come to Jinyang City today?”
Zeng Youwang tensed up, thinking that Su Mo indeed had quite the trick up his sleeve.
That move just now was silent and nearly sent him to meet Impermanence without him even realizing it.
It is said that in Tianqu City, he killed the Youquan Sect master with his bare hands and vanquished the Eternal Night Demon Lord, and he’s touted as the top martial artist of Donghuang.
In the past, such tales seemed like exaggerations, but now they appear to be not entirely without foundation.
His mind was shaking, but his thoughts didn’t slow down, and he said with a smile:
“Lord Su did not conceal his tracks. As soon as he entered the territory of Jinyang City, I received the news.
“I rushed out to meet you, but I didn’t expect that you all would have already arrived.
“I truly neglected my duty.”
Su Mo nodded slightly and said with a smile, “Alliance Leader Zeng is being too polite. I’m just transporting some goods and passing through Jinyang City. I apologize for not notifying you in advance; the oversight is mine.”
“Not at all, not at all.”
Zeng Youwang shook his head repeatedly, just about to speak again.
But then he suddenly heard a voice from above:
“The one down there, is he the peerless master from Xuanji Valley who executed the three commands with a single sword, the same who killed the Youquan Sect master with his bare hands in Tianqu City, and defeated the Eternal Night Demon Lord with his fists under the walls of Liuyin City; the foremost expert of Donghuang from the Ziyang Escort Agency, Su Mo!?”
The voice was loud, stirring the skies in all directions.
But before Su Mo could speak, Zeng Youwang was already angrily looking up:
“Who on earth is that? The name of Lord Su is not something you can casually mention!”
Su Mo’s mouth twitched, and he gently shook his head:
“Alliance Leader Zeng speaks too seriously. It’s just a name; there’s no harm in mentioning it… May I ask who the friend above is?”
“HAHAHAHAHAHA!!”
The person on the balcony burst into laughter upon hearing this. The next moment, he leapt up and after repeatedly changing his position mid-air, he finally descended to the ground.
With a light tap of his toes, he landed without stirring a speck of dust.
His eyes swept over the crowd, finally resting on Su Mo:
“Is it really Lord Su in person?”
“Not presuming too much, I am indeed Su Mo.”
Su Mo nodded slightly: “May I have the honor of knowing your esteemed name?”
“My name is Wang Ergou.”
The man reported a name mockingly:
“Recently, I’ve heard your name till my ears are filled with it, it’s truly annoying.
“Having seen you today, you are indeed nothing special.
“Are the people from the eastern city all fools? You, capable of killing the Youquan Sect master and defeating the Eternal Night Demon Lord?
“If true, then both this Youquan Sect master and the Eternal Night Demon Lord are nothing but charlatans not worth mentioning.”
“How dare you!”
Yang Xiaoyun heard this and was furiously indignant, the Dragon Abyss Spear in her hand with a clang:
“Who do you think you are to come and show disrespect in front of our master?
“Our master is magnanimous and won’t stoop to your level, but I, being just a woman with long hair and short insight, cannot allow you to be insolent today!”
“HAHAHAHAHA.”
Wang Ergou laughed loudly: “It seems Lord Su truly does exaggerate. With such provocation from me, you only let a woman make a move? Are you hiding behind her like a turtle in its shell?”
Su Mo, having a very high tolerance, still managed to smile in response:
“Should I bare my teeth and make faces on the street at every Tom, Dick, or Harry that challenges me?
“Your insulting words, truly confusing, it seems today I really must give a small lesson…”
“Go ahead and strike! Let me see what this so-called number one expert of Donghuang is really capable of!”
Wang Ergou stepped back, stamping one foot on the ground, a cracking sound ensued, and the blue stone pavement immediately shattered.
This showcased his martial skills: light as a feather when needed, but heavyweight as Mount Tai when required.
Perfectly controlling softness and firmness, he is clearly no ordinary person.
Zeng Youwang scoffed:
“Do you think Phoenix Alliance has no one capable? Today, let Zeng…”
Before he could finish speaking, someone flashed behind Su Mo and had already reached Wang Ergou’s side.
Wang Ergou, taken aback and thinking it was a sneak attack, threw a punch without even thinking.
Whoevers Fist Technique he had learned, it roared like thunder, vehemently fierce.
But after the punch, he found only empty air beneath his fist.
With the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a shadow and instantly turned, but there was no one behind him.
Just as he was bewildered, he suddenly felt a chill on his legs.
Then he heard uproarious laughter.
“What are you all laughing at?”
Wang Ergou, enraged, saw someone pointing at his lower body: “Your trousers have fallen down!”
