Chapter 24: The Path to Death, Instant Quintuple Kill
Deep in the dense forest, it was none other than Su Mo and Bibi Dong.
Su Mo had originally not intended to meddle in other people's business.
He had heard the words "Soul Bone" earlier and was indeed a bit curious, but upon discovering it was only a thousand-year-level Soul Bone, he immediately lost interest.
His mind was currently filled with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; he only wanted to find that treasure land as quickly as possible and had no desire to create extra complications.
Thus, he pulled Bibi Dong along, preparing to leave quietly.
However, unexpectedly, the moment they turned around, they were still discovered.
Just then, a Soul skills suddenly blasted toward the dense forest where they were located.
With a loud boom, trees shattered, and branches and leaves flew everywhere.
Su Mo pulled Bibi Dong to dodge quickly to the side, avoiding the attack.
A clearing was blasted out in the dense forest, and the figures of Su Mo and his companion were completely exposed to everyone.
"Are you alright?" Su Mo turned his head to look at Bibi Dong, a flash of coldness in his eyes.
He didn't want to cause trouble, but that didn't mean he was afraid of it.
Since the other party was actively seeking death, then he wouldn't blame himself.
"I'm fine." Bibi Dong shook her head, her expression calm.
With Golden Crocodile Douluo in the shadows, she had no concerns about her and Su Mo's safety.
"Boss, look at that chick, that face, that figure, tsk tsk, she is simply a rare beauty in this world!"
"Yo!" The moment the big man saw Bibi Dong, his eyes went straight, and his breathing became noticeably heavier.
He looked Bibi Dong up and down, his gaze roaming over her without any concealment, greed and lechery almost overflowing from his eyes.
"I didn't expect that not only would we encounter a Soul Bone today, but a little beauty has also delivered herself to our doorstep!" He grinned and said, "Although she's a bit young, I just like this type!"
Several subordinates let out knowing, lewd laughs, their gazes also scanning Bibi Dong without restraint.
Bibi Dong's expression suddenly turned cold, and killing intent flashed in her eyes.
Since she was young, no one had ever dared to look at her with such eyes or insult her with such filthy language!
The big man, however, was completely oblivious, his gaze becoming even more unbridled.
"Little beauty, this Sunset Forest is very dangerous!" He carried his axe and took two steps forward. "Soul Beasts are everywhere. A delicate girl like you, if you were eaten by some beast, what a pity that would be?"
He chuckled and continued, "Why not follow me? I guarantee you'll have the best food and drink, and whatever you want, you shall have. It's much better than following such a tender little brat. Look at your little lover, he's as weak as can be; can he even protect you?"
"That's right, that's right." A subordinate chimed in, "Our boss is a level 44 Spirit Ancestor expert!"
The big man said, "Kid, if you're sensible, just obediently hand over the little beauty beside you. I'm in a good mood today, so I can leave your corpse intact."
Su Mo and Bibi Dong's attire and appearance were extraordinary; one look and it was clear they were children of nobles.
To avoid trouble later, he had already made up his mind that in a moment, he would not only kill Su Mo but also dispose of those eyesores to prevent any word from leaking out.
Su Mo looked at these people with a cold, piercing gaze.
Since they dared to look at Bibi Dong with those eyes, to use the words of the Tang God King, this was the path to death!
"Hide behind me." Su Mo shielded Bibi Dong behind him and slowly walked forward.
"Haha!" The big man's subordinates saw this and laughed even harder. "Boss, look, that little brat is walking over! He wouldn't be scared, actually planning to hand over the little beauty, would he?"
Just then, a hurried voice suddenly rang out: "Little brother, don't come over! Run!"
The thin, tall middle-aged man looked anxious, desperately waving at the two of them to signal them away.
Although he didn't know Su Mo, he couldn't bear to watch two young people lose their lives because of this unprovoked disaster.
Those people on the other side were definitely not kind-hearted.
Su Mo glanced at him indifferently and ignored him, not stopping his pace, walking straight to a spot not far from the group and stopping.
The big man saw this, shouldered his axe, and strutted toward the two, every step filled with an arrogant air of certainty.
"Little brat, you're quite sensible." He grinned, his gaze passing over Su Mo to look at Bibi Dong behind him. "Little beauty, don't worry, I will treat you well..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a sudden change occurred!
Crack—
Behind Su Mo, a crisp sound suddenly rang out!
Black-gold light bloomed instantly, and a pair of giant sword wings suddenly unfurled, then immediately disintegrated. Countless sword feathers detached instantly, converging in the air into a fierce, unparalleled cone-shaped sword stream, carrying a shrill whistling sound as it shot toward the big man's heart!
The speed of the cone-shaped sword stream was extremely fast!
So fast that the big man had no time to react, nor even time to make any defensive moves.
Because he hadn't taken Su Mo seriously at all, and they were quite close.
Puchi—
A fist-sized bloody hole instantly appeared at the big man's chest, piercing straight through!
Blood sprayed out like a fountain.
The lecherous expression on the big man's face completely vanished, leaving only endless shock, fear, and disbelief.
He slowly lowered his head, looking at the shocking bloody hole in his chest, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a single word.
Thump—
His entire body fell straight backward.
A level 44 Spirit Ancestor expert, killed in one hit!
The whole scene was deathly silent!
The thin, tall middle-aged man and his group widened their eyes, their mouths open wide enough to fit an egg, their minds blank.
The big man's subordinates were even more rigid, as if they had been hit by a freezing spell, unable to move.
What was that?
What were those wings?!
They were all commoner Soul Masters who relied on teaming up to hunt Soul Beasts and sell materials to make a living; they had never seen such a treasure in their lives, nor had they even heard of it.
They only knew one thing: their boss, a level 44 Spirit Ancestor, had been killed in one hit by this seemingly harmless young man before them!
Without even having time to react!
However, in the very instant they were stunned, the cone-shaped sword stream disintegrated again, transforming into four fierce, unparalleled sword lights, dragging black-gold afterimages as they shot toward the big man's four subordinates!
Su Mo's Soul Power had now reached level 40, and his External Soul Bone had completely fused with him after being subjected to the pressure of a Spirit Hall Elder.
Its speed and power were no longer comparable to what they were two years ago!
Just four Soul Elders, they had no time to react.
Puchi, puchi, puchi, puchi.
Four muffled sounds rang out almost simultaneously.
Four corpses fell to the ground in response, each with an extra bloody hole in their chests.
Clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.
From the moment Su Mo attacked to all five being dead, the entire process took no more than a single breath.
The thin, tall middle-aged man and his group were completely stunned.
They looked at this scene before them, at the five corpses on the ground, and then at the indifferent youth, not daring to say a word, even subconsciously holding their breath.
Bibi Dong looked intently at Su Mo's back, the corners of her lips curling up slightly, a strange light flickering in her eyes.
This feeling of being protected by someone seemed quite nice.
At this moment, the thin, tall man regained his senses.
"My... Lord!"
He ran up quickly, his face showing a bit of panic, but even more respect.
He held the Soul Bone with both hands, carefully presenting it to Su Mo, and bowed, saying:
"My Lord, this Soul Bone... is a small token of our appreciation. If not for your intervention, my brothers and I would not only have lost the Soul Bone today, but we probably would have lost our lives here as well. Please, my Lord, you must accept it!"
As he spoke, cold sweat hung on his forehead, and his voice trembled slightly.
The scene just now was simply too shocking; five people, one breath, all dead.
He was afraid that Su Mo would attack them for the Soul Bone, so he had no choice but to offer it voluntarily.
The three brothers behind him also quickly followed suit, bowing and not daring to breathe loudly.
Su Mo's gaze fell on that Soul Bone.
For an ordinary Soul Master, this was indeed a supreme treasure worth risking one's life to fight for, but for him, he really didn't think much of it.
However, taking it back to Spirit Hall to reward those who had rendered service, or using it to cultivate his own team, wouldn't be bad.
"Since that is the case, I will accept it." Su Mo nodded indifferently.
Seeing this, the thin, tall middle-aged man was instantly relieved, and the look of panic on his face faded quite a bit.
Su Mo took the Soul Bone and said nothing more.
He turned back, the icy expression on his face long gone, replaced by a gentle smile.
"Let's go, Senior Sister."
Bibi Dong nodded heavily, stepped forward, grabbed Su Mo's arm, lifted her little face, and was full of admiration and longing.
"Junior Brother, your External Soul Bone is truly amazing! When will I be able to have one, too?"
"You will have one." Su Mo said with a smile, "In the future, I will find you the best one."
"That's what you said! No going back on your word!"
"Of course not."
The two chatted and laughed, gradually disappearing into the depths of the dense forest.
