Chapter 683: Chapter 295 Testing the Waters_2
But if one lets out this breath of relief, wouldn’t it be a choice between life and death after being prodded by this One-legged Copper Man?
Su Mo chuckled:
“Hall Master Li, please be patient, I believe Master Wu is simply filled with righteous indignation.
“Well… Master Wu, please say something. If this is a misunderstanding, let’s stop here.”
Upon hearing these words, Wu Yong could hardly refrain from cursing inwardly.
How shameless Su Mo is!
With your martial arts, can’t you clearly see what condition I am in?
Are you now asking me to speak up and explain a misunderstanding?
If I were able to speak, wouldn’t I have already done so?
For a moment, his mind was agitated. His attempt to kill had failed, and now he seemed to be in a catch-22.
He wanted to stop, but feared the other party would seize the chance to launch a sneak attack. Yet, if he did not stop, wouldn’t he be admitting to his intent to kill and silence?
In the midst of this turmoil, Su Mo’s tone suddenly turned grim:
“So, Master Wu refuses to cease fighting?”
Hearing this, Wu Yong felt a chill in his heart.
Could it be that Su Mo wants to take action himself?
Then… wouldn’t I be doomed?
How did things suddenly take such a turn?
No, under no circumstances can we allow Su Mo to make a move.
In the heat of the moment, he lost his composure, and without realizing it, his force had already diminished by two or three parts.
Suddenly, he felt that the One-legged Copper Man in his palm jerked with a twist.
The two were originally competing with each other, the One-legged Copper Man against Wu Yong’s flesh palm, each testing the other’s Inner Strength. At this moment, the Copper Man twisted, and the technique used was from the Canglong Bahuang Dianyun Spear’s Turning Technique.
Zhen Xiaoxiao possessed astonishing physical strength, and her Inner Strength was profoundly deep.
Although she could not utilize it to its full extent, the little she could wield was not to be underestimated.
With these two aspects alone, wielding the One-legged Copper Man, she was a valiant force to be reckoned with.
Now, although it seemed Zhen Xiaoxiao had met her match in Wu Yong, in reality, she had not even used her full strength.
Following Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, Yang Xiaoyun took a liking to her innocence and kindness, occasionally offering her tips on the art of weapon handling.
The Canglong Bahuang Dianyun Spear was a hereditary technique of the Yang Family; naturally, Yang Xiaoyun could not teach it to Zhen Xiaoxiao, perhaps after having offspring with Su Mo, it would be more appropriate to pass it to them.
However, she could share the experience and a few tricks, allowing Zhen Xiaoxiao to transform in her weapon handling.
That’s what was happening with this Turning Technique.
With a flick of the wrist, the technique caused the two heads atop the One-legged Copper Man to spin like a Wind and Fire Wheel.
The force in Wu Yong’s grip had already loosened, and with this spin, control slipped instantly from his grasp, forcing his palm aside and leaving his center wide open.
Bang!
A muffled sound followed, as the One-legged Copper Man, neither too light nor too heavy, struck right in his chest and abdomen.
The Fourth Hall Master suddenly flew backward.
Midair, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The two nearby Hall Masters instantly flew to catch him as he fell.
After landing, Wu Yong pointed at Zhen Xiaoxiao, meaning to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, another mouthful of blood spurted out.
“Xiao Xiao, stop.”
It was only then that Su Mo finally spoke softly: “In the presence of our seniors from Wusheng Hall, we mustn’t lose our manners.”
After that, he turned to Li Zhongming and bowed with a fist, smiling as he said:
“Hall Master Li, please forgive us. My subordinate is naive and unsophisticated, with no intention to offend.
“Just wondering, why is Senior Wu so eager to kill?
“Well, to say it’s to silence by murder, that I cannot believe.
“Could the prestigious Wusheng Hall really lack such forbearance?
“Hall Master Li, don’t you agree?”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Li Zhongming nodded immediately, his eyes holding a meaningful glance towards Wu Yong as he took a deep breath and said:
“Master Wu must be acting out of righteous indignation. To be honest, knowing this person to be Ding Wugong, even I would want to strike him dead.
“The good name of Wusheng Hall is mostly ruined by his hands.”
“So it is.”
Su Mo nodded, glancing at Ding Wugong, who was dizzy from the spinning:
“Now that we are within Wusheng Hall, do you have anything to say?”
“I…”
Ding Wugong opened his mouth, but how could he articulate anything at that moment?
In reality, his thoughts had already become sluggish.
The agony from the potion of separation constantly tormented him.
It eroded him and filled him repeatedly, flesh dissolving and reforming, pain and itchiness alternating.
It twisted him beyond human recognition.
He couldn’t even discern what Su Mo meant by his question or how to respond.
How to deal with Su Mo, and then how to deal with Wusheng Hall?
Or, how should he wish for death?
But Su Mo didn’t give him the chance to gather his thoughts, merely waving his hand lightly:
“Enough of that. Hall Master Li, isn’t Hall Master Ren around?
“Talking about anything else is fruitless now; if Hall Master Ren would simply come and confront Ding Wugong.
“The truth shall become clear then. What do you think, Hall Master Li?”
“That would, of course, be good.”
Li Zhongming didn’t hesitate: “However, Hall Master Ren is not currently at Wusheng Hall. In that case, Su, the Chief of the Escort, could you please stay as a guest at Wusheng Hall for a few days?
“It just so happens, my son’s joyous occasion is near.
“I will have someone call Hall Master Ren back, and by then, we’ll surely give Su a satisfactory reply!”
Su Mo looked at Li Zhongming, his expression showing a hint of contemplation.
