Chapter 626: Chapter 276 High Priest_2
Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar echoed through the night!
With the clash of two palms, a deafening boom arose from the ground.
Those with slightly weaker Inner Strength merely heard the sound and spewed fresh blood from their mouths.
The rampant spreading of Inner Strength caused continuous violent shakes, shattering the surroundings into pieces!
Such a scene truly struck terror into the hearts of all.
Those descendants of an old clan who could still stand were all dumbfounded.
The Chief Steward, though not the brightest, was the top expert within Baihu City.
Though there was a High Priest above him who suppressed everyone, the High Priest had not made a move in a long time, and no one knew the extent of his power. The Chief Steward, however, occasionally showed glimpses of his formidable abilities, commanding awe and respect.
Yet, who would have thought that today someone would possess such power to actually contest with the Chief Steward in terms of Hand Power?
This number one of Donghuang truly lives up to his reputation!
However, as this thought arose, the next moment, they saw the shadow of the White Tiger behind the Chief Steward suddenly disperse.
Suddenly spit out a mouthful of fresh blood skyward and the whole person was struck flying with a whoosh.
Like a meteor falling, with a thunderous noise, he heavily crashed into the ruins of the Chief of Staff Mansion.
His life and death were unknown for the moment.
Su Mo’s figure fell from mid-air, his toes touched on a piece of the ruins, and as he looked around, he glanced at his own palm.
No signs of triumph appeared in his eyes, only his brows gently raised, seemingly puzzled.
“Lord!!!”
Seeing this, the Chief Steward’s subordinates leapt forward one by one, struggling to dig him out from the ruins.
Yang Xiaoyun, Zhen Xiaoxiao, and Hu Sandao approached Su Mo:
“Xiao Mo, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
Su Mo shook his head lightly, then turned to look in the direction of the Chief Steward and suddenly smiled:
“The Emperor Heart Technique, truly extraordinary.”
Surveying the surroundings, the sound of footsteps was approaching from all directions.
Clearly, the commotion at the Chief of Staff Mansion had finally attracted attention. Su Mo’s eyes penetrated the dense night, and in a flying leap, he reached Yang Xiaoyun and the others:
“Sister Yun, we shouldn’t stay here long, let’s go.”
“Ah?”
Yang Xiaoyun was taken aback; this was not Su Mo’s style.
Usually, if there was a conflict, he would never leave before things were settled.
However, since Su Mo suggested so, she had no objections, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Su Mo didn’t say much more, leading Yang Xiaoyun and the others toward the west gate of Baihu City.
The Chief Steward and Su Mo exchanged a palm strike, his life or death uncertain.
The remaining people saw them leaving and wanted to stop them. How could they let them go?
They immediately attempted to intervene, but how could they be opponents for Su Mo and his companions, who forcefully broke through.
The chaos within the Chief Steward’s mansion was, of course, reported quickly, and in moments it spread throughout Baihu City.
However… the alarm bells that should have rung throughout the city remained silent.
Even though there were those who wanted to pursue, eventually, they all ceased their pursuits.
Su Mo and his group were now at the city’s west gate by this moment.
Zhen Xiaoxiao charged ahead, using all her Inner Strength, and with a fierce impact, the city gate could not withstand her overwhelming force.
With a thunderous noise, it shattered into pieces.
The group streamed out and, within moments, had moved dozens of miles away, officially entering the territory of Wusheng Hall.
However, being in this place and looking back, Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but be puzzled:
“Why isn’t anyone pursuing us?”
“Isn’t it better that no one’s pursuing us?”
Su Mo smiled: “It’s good to rest here for a bit.”
Zhen Xiaoxiao with a thud, sat down on the ground, rubbing her belly, looked pitifully at Su Mo.
Su Mo had no choice but to say: “Xiao Xiao, just endure for a bit, tomorrow, we’ll find a place to eat and drink properly.”
“Mm.”
Zhen Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, looking forward to tomorrow.
For some reason, Su Mo had Hu Sandao start a fire to drive away the darkness and light up the surroundings.
Yang Xiaoyun looked at the fire light, shaking her head and sighing:
“The Jianghu is unfathomably deep and cannot be underestimated. Baihu City, being secluded in the corner, was originally unknown.
“Seeing how they conduct themselves, which is reckless and ridiculous, I thought they were just a group ignorant of the broader world. Yet unexpectedly, there really was an expert like the Chief Steward among them.”
Su Mo smiled lightly:
“The Emperor Heart Technique indeed possesses extraordinary abilities. This Chief Steward’s martial arts might not be inferior to the Youquan Sect master.”
Yang Xiaoyun and Hu Sandao both looked at Su Mo in surprise.
Even though Yang Xiaoyun already held the Chief Steward in high regard, she didn’t expect Su Mo’s evaluation to reach such a level!
“But if it came to a fight to the death, the Chief Steward probably could not beat the Youquan Sect master.
“The Youquan Sect master’s martial arts are quite strange, having an undying force within his body, causing him to recover quickly whenever I seriously injure him.
“This Chief Steward doesn’t have such an ability.
“While in terms of the might of each move, he is superior to the Youquan Sect master, if it were a fight to the death, the one to die would be him.”
“Hmph.”
A cold snort suddenly came from the silent night.
Yang Xiaoyun and Zhen Xiaoxiao were startled by the sound.
The voice was very close, yet they had not noticed it at all.
As they were about to check the source of the sound, they heard Su Mo say with a smile:
“Does His Excellency disagree?”
Yang Xiaoyun hesitated, then let out a sigh of relief.
She couldn’t help but glance at Su Mo… After exchanging a palm strike with the Chief Steward, Su Mo suddenly wanted to withdraw.
