Chapter 788: Replace

The patriarch of the Jiaos did not take Su Mo seriously. At Lv 8 True Darkness Realm cultivation, even if Su Mo was extraordinary, he would still not be his match. However, when Su Mo attacked, he knew he had made a terrible mistake!

As the three-colored sword Qi locked in on him, the strong sword power shook him to his core. His entire body froze up and his heart almost stopped.

“How could that be?”

The patriarch of the Jiaos was completely shocked. As the sword Qi approached him, he felt as if he was already sliced into pieces.

Sensing that his life was in danger, he hastily retreated and made a move to counter the attack.

“Break!” the Jiaos’ patriarch shouted as he punched out with both fists. His fist radiance streaked across the air like an angry dragon rising from the sea, shattering space as it charged at the approaching three-colored sword Qi.

Su Mo scoffed at the sight. If the Jiaos’ patriarch had attempted to dodge his attack, he might have been able to escape.

However, since he tried to counter it with an attack of his own, he would definitely die.

Su Mo had given his all in that sword and had combined gold and earth properties as well as wood and fire properties. An average Lv 3 Martial King Realm martial artist might not even be able to handle his attack.

The Jiaos’ patriarch was only of Lv 2 Martial King Realm.

Everyone watched in shock as the three-colored sword Qi collided with the two rays of fist radiance.

Bang! Bang!

There was a dull pop as the two rays of fist radiances burst like a popped balloon, instantly destroyed by the sword Qi. They scattered about in all directions.

The three-colored sword Qi continued their onward trajectory and slashed hard at the Jiaos’ patriarch.

“Oh no!” the Jiaos’ patriarch was thunderstruck. Just before the sword Qi reached him, Dark Force gushed out of his body and formed a solid body-protection Dark Force. He was going to face this blow head-on.

The next moment, the terrifying three-colored sword Qi slashed hard at his Body-protection Dark Force.

Puff!

His body-protection Dark Force was unable to hold out for even one second and shattered instantly, giving off a sound that sounded like a sharp knife slicing meat.

Blood spurted up to the sky.

“Ah!”

A sharp wail filled the sky as his body was sliced into half by the sword Qi.

He cried out for a short moment before the sound abruptly stopped. Then, his body fell in two pieces from the sky.

Bang! Bang!

The pieces of his body landed on the ground with two dull thumps and blood splattered everywhere. It was a gruesome sight that was hard to look at.

Silence!

The crowd fell dead silent!

Everyone froze in shock as they stared dumbly at the Jiaos’ patriarch’s corpse.

One strike!

One strike from Su Mo was enough to kill a Lv 2 Martial King Realm martial artist!

Everyone looked at this scene in astonishment and disbelief.

The entire area seemed to resemble a picture forever frozen in time.

One breath!

Two breaths!

Nine breaths!

Ten breaths!

After ten full breaths, the crowd finally started to come back to their senses and gasps rippled through the crowd.

“Oh god!”

“How could this have happened?”

“The Jiaos’ patriarch is dead! He was instakilled by one strike!”

“Is this punk really just of Lv 8 True Darkness Realm? This is absolutely unbelievable!”

The crowd burst into an uproar and excited chatter filled the air.

What they had witnessed was just too shocking. The Jiaos’ patriarch, one of the strongest in Qingyuan City, had just been instakilled by one strike. This was completely mind-blowing.

Furthermore, he was already of Lv2 Martial King Realm but was still rendered helpless in the face of that attack.

Everyone looked at Su Mo in astonishment.

Who is this young man?

How could he be so extraordinary?

Was he going to change the whole power balance of Qingyuan City?

Everyone was thunderstruck, unable to remain calm!

Excitement surged through all those from Firmament Sect.

Their Sect Leader was so powerful; he was almost superhuman. No wonder he had remained so calm earlier!

Everyone from Firmament Sect was exhilarated, their faces flushed with excitement.

They watched as Su Mo who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, slowly rose to his feet.

Su Mo’s face was cold and he surveyed the crowd, his gaze like an invisible knife sweeping through them.

Regardless of cultivation, no one dared to meet his gaze directly and quickly averted their eyes.

“From this day on, the Jiaos shall be no more. Firmament Sect shall take their place!” Su Mo said slowly, his cold voice could be heard all around.

Su Mo did not say he would reign supreme over Qingyuan City. He merely said his sect would replace the Jiaos.

Although he could easily reign supreme in Qingyuan City, but once he left, Firmament Sect would have the experts needed to maintain their reign.

Neither did he wish to wipe out all of Qingyuan City’s major forces by killing more people.

Therefore, Su Mo could not push them too far. He did not want them to revolt after he left.

Su Mo’s words stunned the crowd. Now that the patriarch of the Jiaos was dead, this spelled the end for their clan!

This unknown Firmament Sect will now take its place as the top force of Qingyuan City. None of the other four major clans would dare to offend them.

Su Mo made to stride back into the Great Hall after making his statement.

“Eh?” Su Mo’s face froze for a moment, then he turned toward the Jiaos’ patriarch’s corpse.

He walked toward the corpse, reached out with his palm and an egg-shaped ball flew out from the corpse into his palm.

This ball was milky-white and the Dark Force encapsulated within it was dense and powerful.

“Divine elixir?” a smile flickered on Su Mo’s lips when he saw what it was.

Experts of Martial King Realm would have refined their Spiritual Spirals into divine elixirs. This milky-white round ball was the Jiaos’ patriarch’s divine elixir.

This Divine Pill was formed entirely from pure Dark Force, which made it a great tonic for him to devour.

To Su Mo, this divine elixir was no different from Spiritual Stones, Spiritual Herbs and other elixirs.

However, the Dark Force encapsulated within the Divine Pill of a Lv 2 Martial King Realm martial artist. This would probably render it even more effective than millions of Upper Spiritual Stones.

Su Mo smiled then solemnly tucked this divine elixir away.

He would devour this divine elixir when the time came for him to break through to Lv 9 True Darkness Realm.

Then, Su Mo kept the Jiaos’ patriarch’s storage ring and strode into the Great Hall.

The upper echelons of Firmament Sect hastened to follow behind him.

All those from Firmament Sect stood straight and tall. They beamed brightly, riding high on the success of their leader.

Su Mo had showed how powerful Firmament Sect could be, and displayed their dominance all across Qingyuan City.

From now on, Firmament Sect would stand at the peak of Qingyuan City. They no longer had to fear.

It took a long while for everyone to calm down after Su Mo left.

The power balance of Qingyuan City was about to change!
