Chapter 842: Chapter 348: Joke (Part 2)
However, did he think it would be that easy to retreat?
A martial arts duel has always been a matter of two people; if you want to retreat, naturally you have to see if your opponent agrees.
His inner strength changed slightly, and it was no longer enough to counterbalance the inner strength transmitted by Su Mo, causing his meridians to burn immediately.
Seeing this, Su Mo suddenly smiled:
“Sorry, sorry.
“I didn’t expect you to change your move suddenly; if you’re unable to hold on, how about I lessen my inner strength a bit?”
“…”
Wei Qixiong’s face turned beet red in an instant.
Whether it was due to his inner strength reaching its peak, or because of the shame evoked by Su Mo’s words, it was hard to tell.
In a fit of rage, he couldn’t help but spew a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Su Mo shook his head slightly:
“The Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Plate is indeed a powerful martial arts skill.
“In this path, you indeed are somewhat proficient.
“But if you wish to dominate with it, you are not worthy!
“Alliance Leader Wei wants you dead; in fact, it’s due to his parental affection sparking sympathy.
“I have no relation to you, but even so, if I have to kill you, I’ll make sure you understand why.
“Now that you’ve exhausted your strength… it’s my turn.”
Before his words settled, without waiting for Wei Qixiong’s face to change, Su Mo’s full inner strength exploded outward.
If at first, Su Mo’s inner strength was like a murmuring stream, continuous but not violent,
then at this moment, that murmuring stream suddenly transformed into a raging torrent.
Striking fiercely, it was as if imbued with the might of heaven and earth; who could withstand it?
Before he could react, the entire person was already sent flying backward, like a ragged sack, falling to the ground heavily.
He tried to stand up but was already too weakened, with no strength left in his body.
More so, his internal meridians were burning, the scorching pain unbearable.
In an instant, his mind was consumed with fear.
He raised his eyes to look at Su Mo, dreading that Su Mo would come forward to finish him with another strike.
However, Su Mo merely stood on the spot, hands behind his back, his gaze falling on Ren Xiongfei, who was equally immobile:
“Hall Master Ren, you are indeed hard to find.”
Ren Xiongfei was naturally not dead.
Su Mo blocked these four people yet didn’t kill them.
Instead, he used them as hidden weapons, flinging them at Wei Qixiong.
The first to arrive was Ren Xiongfei.
Although Wei Qixiong hated him for being heartless and abandoning him, he was unable to bring himself to harm Ren Xiongfei during the fight and could only move him aside to avoid getting injured by the inner strength lingering around Ren Xiongfei.
Now Ren Xiongfei was lying to the side, and upon hearing Su Mo speak, he looked up at Su Mo:
“You… how are you here?”
Su Mo waved his hand: “No need to talk much about that question; if you’re truly curious, I’ll tell you later.
“Right now, I want to ask Hall Master Ren this…
“Was it truly Housekeeper Huang, Huang Yuan, who ambushed the second son of the Wei Family back then?”
Ren Xiongfei was stunned for a moment, glanced at the also fallen Wei Qixiong, and sighed:
“Naturally, it wasn’t.”
“…”
Wei Qixiong sharply turned to Ren Xiongfei: “What did you say?”
“The Three Absolute Fingers may be Huang Yuan’s martial arts skill, but… our leader is knowledgeable beyond compare.
“It isn’t difficult to create a martial arts skill akin to the Three Absolute Fingers.
“Although each has its own strengths when it comes to force transmission techniques,
“it stands to reason that even Wei Qixiong wouldn’t recognize it.”
Ren Xiongfei didn’t conceal, merely sighed in his heart.
In truth, if not for today’s turn of events already unfolding, he would never have come.
The fact that Wusheng Hall didn’t manage to hold off Su Mo was something he had not anticipated.
Back then, after that dramatic scene before the forbidden land on the back mountain of Wusheng Hall, he immediately rushed to the Luofeng Alliance.
Originally, he thought that at the worst, Su Mo would at least wait at Wusheng Hall until the wedding of Wan Yilan and Li Xuechun was over before returning to Luoxia City.
This was something he had previously arranged with Lady Wan.
Lady Wan, having gained benefits from the Endless Prison, would seize power in Wusheng Hall and, using the wedding, hold back Su Mo, allowing him to succeed in Luofeng Alliance.
However, Su Mo unexpectedly returned early.
With that, Ren Xiongfei immediately considered retreating.
But the problem was that Wei Qixiong had already been invited over by him.
He wanted to retreat, but Wei Qixiong was unwilling.
Indeed, it was difficult to stop halfway, so he simply sent a misleading message, prompting Ziyang Escort Agency to send a letter, luring Su Mo out of Luoxia City.
Only then could they visit the City Lord Manor today.
Otherwise, if Su Mo decided to protect Wei Ziyi today, no matter how capable they were, how dare they take such a risk?
Even so, Ren Xiongfei acted with utmost caution.
He stationed an elder at the North City Gate, ready to send out a signal at the slightest trace of Su Mo’s appearance, so they could retreat immediately.
Yet there was no message coming through.
It wasn’t because the elder was aged and his eyesight failing, unable to spot Su Mo…
But because Su Mo was already within Luoxia City before they started monitoring the North City Gate.
The elder at the North City Gate was essentially guarding an emptiness.
Even without receiving the elder’s signal, Ren Xiongfei remained apprehensive.
Hence, upon discovering that Wei Ruhan schemed to lure out those with ulterior motives, he immediately opted for retreat.
Earlier, when Wei Qixiong and Wei Ruhan faced off, regardless of the outcome in their minds, at least to onlookers, the balance seemed evenly matched.
In such a situation, as the tide turns and all fall into the encirclement of Luofeng Alliance.
