Invincible Starting From the Nine Dragons Technique
Chapter 273: In This Business, You Need BackingHmm?
When the Tianhu Sect Master let out a vicious threat, everyone in the crowd grew excited.
'A fight is finally about to break out.'
Guan Lin asked, "What do you all think? Will Su Mo die here?"
"Of course he will!"
"The Tianhu Sect Master is a Half-step Martial Emperor. He's terrifyingly powerful! It'll only take a single move to obliterate Su Mo."
"Su Mo really picked on the wrong person this time!"
The crowd chattered, reveling in his misfortune.
Guan Lin added venomously, "I actually hope he can last a few more moves. That way, he'll completely enrage the Tianhu Sect Master and die an even more miserable death."
The next moment...
BANG!
A loud, explosive sound echoed in everyone's ears as a figure was sent flying.
Guan Lin frowned.
'Was Su Mo taken out in one hit?'
'How boring.'
Just then, however, the young man beside him stammered, "Senior Brother Guan, look! The Tianhu Sect Master was sent flying!"
"Are you fucking stupid?!"
Guan Lin roared.
'The Tianhu Sect Master is a Half-step Martial Emperor Powerhouse whose might is known throughout the Western Profound Domain. How could he possibly be sent flying?'
However, when he turned to look, he froze.
Su Mo stood right where he was, completely unharmed, his expression placid. The Tianhu Sect Master, on the other hand, was nowhere to be seen.
'Where did he go?'
Just as Guan Lin was looking for the Tianhu Sect Master, a wretched scream suddenly echoed from a hundred meters away. "AARGH..."
"That's... the Tianhu Sect Master!"
"How is that possible?"
"The Tianhu Sect Master clashed with Su Mo, and not only did he fail to kill him, but he was the one sent flying?"
The crowd stared in utter disbelief.
Even Haitiansha and Liang Taishang were stunned. They hadn't seen how the Tianhu Sect Master was sent flying.
'Did Su Mo do that?'
'Impossible!'
'We were watching Su Mo the entire time and didn't see him make a move.'
Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, the Tianhu Sect Master scrambled up from the ground, his eyes fixed on Su Mo with a new sense of dread.
The others might not have seen it, but he had.
In that split second, Su Mo had struck like lightning, hitting him square in the chest and sending him flying.
'This kid... he's so strong!'
'No, that's not it!'
'I was just careless. The kid got the first strike, that's the only reason I'm at a disadvantage!'
The Tianhu Sect Master wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and snarled, "Brat, you launched a sneak attack while I wasn't paying attention, trying to kill me. Too bad for you, you're still too weak."
"A sneak attack?"
Su Mo frowned.
He had clearly attacked him head-on. 'When did I ever launch a sneak attack on this old fool?'
At this, the crowd seemed to have a moment of realization.
"I was wondering how that brat was so strong. So it was a sneak attack!"
"Still, you have to admit, the kid has some skill!"
"Pulling off a successful sneak attack proves he's not weak, but that's just a cheap trick. In a real head-on fight, he's definitely no match for the Tianhu Sect Master."
The crowd looked at Su Mo with contempt.
The Tianhu Sect Master announced with cold arrogance, "Now, I will show you my true power. Brat, prepare to die."
RUMBLE!
A terrifying aura erupted from the Tianhu Sect Master. He clenched his fist, and a ferocious black tiger materialized around it.
"ROAR!"
The black tiger roared as if to shake the very heavens and earth.
Su Mo said calmly, "A sneak attack, was it? Fine. This time, I'll slow down so you can all get a better look."
With that, Su Mo slowly raised his right hand.
This time, everyone present saw it perfectly clearly, yet they felt something was very strange.
The speed at which Su Mo raised his hand wasn't fast at all.
It wasn't fast in the slightest.
Yet, it was over in the blink of an eye.
BAM!
The very instant Su Mo's hand came up, he had the Tianhu Sect Master's wrist in a death grip, holding it suspended in midair.
"What?"
The Tianhu Sect Master's face went pale with shock. He struggled desperately, but no matter how much strength he exerted, he couldn't break free.
Now, he was truly panicking.
He had thought he was just careless, allowing Su Mo to get in a successful sneak attack. Who could have imagined that Su Mo's strength was so immense that he was being completely overpowered?
CRACK!
With a slight squeeze from Su Mo, the black tiger on the Sect Leader's fist dissipated. A sharp pain shot through his wrist.
"Hiss..."
The Tianhu Sect Master grimaced in pain, forcing out the words, "You... Are you a Martial Emperor?"
"A Martial Emperor? I suppose you could say that,"
Su Mo replied calmly.
'I suppose you could say that?'
The crowd was completely baffled.
'You either are or you aren't.'
'What's that supposed to mean?'
Though they didn't know if Su Mo was truly a Martial Emperor, everyone had to acknowledge his immense power.
"This guy... he was hiding his true strength all along!"
"No wonder he dared to declare war on the Celestial Tiger Sect!"
"So his power is this terrifying. Even if he isn't a Martial Emperor, he might as well be. Otherwise, there's no way he could have crushed the Tianhu Sect Master so easily."
The crowd murmured in awe.
Guan Lin frowned. "His strength is formidable, but as long as he isn't a true Martial Emperor, there's still a way to kill him."
"That's right!"
As if realizing something, the Tianhu Sect Master yelled to Liang Taishang, "Liang Taishang, you want to kill this brat too, don't you?"
"I..."
Liang Taishang hesitated.
The power Su Mo had just displayed was too great. He was afraid that if he attacked rashly, Su Mo would kill him.
The Tianhu Sect Master sneered. "That brat heard every word you said earlier. Don't tell me you think you still have a path of retreat?"
Hearing this, Liang Taishang's expression instantly turned grim.
'There's no way out.'
'After Su Mo kills the Tianhu Sect Master, he'll definitely come for me. I have to take the risk and help kill him here.'
"Let's join forces!"
Liang Taishang stared coldly at Su Mo.
The Tianhu Sect Master said, "That was my intention as well. Men of the Celestial Tiger Sect, hear my command! Join forces with Liang Taishang and let's finish this brat together!"
"Yes!"
Everyone from the Celestial Tiger Sect stepped forward.
The Tianhu Sect Master sneered. "Brat, I admit you're strong. But no matter how strong you are, you can't possibly kill all of us, can you?"
Su Mo glanced over the members of the Celestial Tiger Sect and Liang Taishang.
A total of twenty-three Martial King Powerhouses.
Among them, nine were at the peak of Martial King Great Perfection—powerful cultivators on the verge of advancing to the Martial Emperor Realm.
"You certainly have a lot of people,"
Su Mo said with a nod.
The Tianhu Sect Master, thinking Su Mo was intimidated, said with cold arrogance, "I am indeed no match for you alone. But I have a sect behind me. *That* is my greatest trump card."
"Brat, remember this. In the Martial Arts World, personal strength is important, but for long-term survival, you must have a powerful force backing you. As the saying goes, a pack of wolves can devour a tiger. Surely you understand that simple truth."
"And you think I don't have forces of my own?"
Su Mo asked with a smile.
The Tianhu Sect Master said disdainfully, "Even if you do, it's useless. You're from Qingyang City, and if I recall correctly, that place is a barren wasteland, scarce in resources."
Only a constant stream of resources can produce true powerhouses.
For Qingyang City to produce one master like Su Mo is already a miracle.
It's absolutely impossible for them to produce a second one.
Su Mo smiled. "Everything you've said is correct. But you've forgotten that the world is full of surprises."
"Surprises?"
The Tianhu Sect Master's brow furrowed.
Just as he was wondering...
BOOM!
A terrifying aura erupted, stunning everyone present.
The Tianhu Sect Master cried out in horror, his voice cracking, "A... Martial... Emperor..."
