When the clan master heard this, he could no longer contain his anger. For many years, no one had dared to criticize his looks.
The clan master of the Myriad Flower Blade Clan was exceptionally handsome, but he was feminine. He was bashful as if he was a female.
He wore a sizable flowery robe, different from ordinary Daoist robes. Instead, it was more similar to that of a traditional Chinese cheongsam.
His skin was incomparably fair, and his cheeks were flushed red. What was more distracting was his pure red lips. It was as if he was wearing lipstick. His posture was indeed like that of a woman.
"It has been forty years since anyone has dared to criticize the way I dress, kid," the clan master's gaze was piercing as he spoke.
The most powerful sword technique of the Myriad Flower Blade Clan could only be practiced by someone who possessed the body of both Yin and Yang and the heart of a male.
The Myriad Flower Blades had a deep foundation, but there was only one Golden Core Realm cultivator in the village.
After all, no one in the village was willing to become such a feminine person besides the clan master.
He was willing to give up everything to become stronger. The clan master had done some indescribable things to himself to achieve this, causing many of his peers to laugh and make fun of him. But ever since he ascended into the Golden Core Realm forty years ago, no one had dared to ridicule the clan master anymore.
However, Su Mo had made fun of the clan master, which gave him another reason to kill Su Mo.
"I didn't mean to joke about your appearance. I was just surprised when I first saw you, so I unintentionally offended you. Also, I had heard that the clan master of the Myriad Flower Blades is a righteous senior who upholds justice. Unlike some other hypocrites, I have respect for you, sir," Su Mo hurriedly explained.
Although the two of them were about to have a duel, Su Mo did not intend to joke about the clan master's appearance.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect a kid like you to possess a silver tongue. However, you killed my beloved disciple, and now you're attacking my village. It seems to me that you intend to oppress the Myriad Flower Blade Clan. I won't forgive you for this," the clan master covered his mouth and bashfully chuckled as he said this.
'Is this person a man or a woman? I'm so confused,' Su Mo couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"I didn't come here for our forgiveness. But I have a question. Since you found out that I killed your disciple, that means you should also know why I did it, right? Do you think that your disciple was not in the wrong?" Su Mo raised his head and asked.
"Indeed, what he did was wrong, but he is my disciple. If he has done something wrong, then I should be the one to teach him a lesson. Furthermore, you killed him! I will settle this matter once and for all!" The clan master said indifferently.
The clan master only had one disciple, which he had groomed since he was young. It was rare for the clan master to acquire such a disciple, hence why he treated the young master of the Myriad Flower Blade Clan as his own.
Now that Su Mo had killed the clan master's beloved disciple, he naturally wanted to take his revenge.
"You are truly protective of your disciple. But it is understandable," Su Mo sighed.
"Hmph, I don't need your compassion!" The clan master said as he stomped his feet while in mid-air.
"I came to look for you to save you the trouble. Now you don't have to make a trip to the Crimson Heart Village." Su Mo grew tired of talking.
There was no longer a need for them to talk. After all, Su Mo had to complete a time-sensitive mission, and the clan master wanted to kill Su Mo to take his revenge.
"I admit that you are sensible," the clan master said as he covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Nonetheless, I came here to kill you!"
Su Mo suddenly burst out with solid intent to begin the battle. He knew that this would be his most capable enemy since the system appeared, and this time, he would be fighting outside of his village.
"Oh? Are you challenging me instead? I can sense that you're in the incomplete stage of the Golden Core Realm, which is commendable, but you've become arrogant!" The clan master said indifferently.
"Yes, but I'm still willing to give this battle a try," Su Mo said as he endured the excruciating pain he felt.
The sword-shaped Qi had cut through Su Mo's Innate Saint-like Physique, which was comparable to a spiritual weapon.
The Qi was currently wreaking havoc inside of Su Mo's body, which was why he conversed with the clan master. Su Mo needed to buy time and force out the Qi so he could fight at peak potential.
"Then I shall teach you a lesson for the sake of Old Devil Chi Xin!"
After saying that, the clan master spun flamboyantly and attacked.
"This is the Sword Intent!"
Lord Emissary from Nine Heavens Palace was shocked.
'It seems that the clan master is indeed talented. He managed to comprehend Sword Intent in the Golden Core Realm. It seems that I would have to ask the palace master about his thoughts on this when I return,' Lord Emissary continued in his heart.
"Smash this arrogant fool, Clan Master!" The disciples of the Myriad Flower Blade Clan cheered for their clan master.
"Clan Master will undoubtedly win!" Chen Qingshan said confidently.
Right now, Chen Qingshan simply wished for Su Mo to die. He felt that Su Mo's punch was a great threat. If Su Mo survived, it would affect his future cultivation.
"That kid is just an incomplete Golden Core Realm cultivator. Since your clan master has comprehended the Sword Intent, killing that kid should be as easy as taking candy from a baby," Lord Emissary said.
…
Although Su Mo seemed calm on the surface, he felt incomparably solemn in his heart.
"Meteor Gauntlets!"
Su Mo took out his gauntlets from the system's dimension.
The spiritual tool was gifted to Su Mo by the system. The Meteor Gauntlets were a suitable spiritual tool for Su Mo since he enjoyed using his fists to defeat his enemies.
The clan master of the Myriad Flower Blades was indeed a worthy opponent, so Su Mo had to go all out.
Su Mo swung his gauntlet-clad fists toward the clan master, who charged at him, blocking the attack.
The closer Su Mo got to the clan master, the more terrifying the clan master became. The clan master's Sword Intent was terrifyingly close to piercing through Su Mo.
The clan master's demeanor seemed to change as of now.
'Has this kid comprehended the fire element?' The clan master questioned in his heart. He thought of this because he felt as though he was approaching the sun whenever Su Mo got close to him.
This was the effect of the Great Sun Formula. It transformed all of Su Mo's magical powers into pure Yang Energy, and it was a perfect match for the Innate Saint-like Physique, a body of Yang Energy.
Under the gaze of thousands, the two finally collided. At that moment, an intense light appeared, resembling a comet hitting the earth. The entire Myriad Flower Blade Village quaked uncontrollably.
"Is that kid really an incomplete Golden Core Realm cultivator?" Lord Emissary of the Nine Heavens Palace was dumbfounded.
No one in the Nine Heavens Palace would be dumb enough to challenge someone of a higher realm.
"What's the outcome of the battle?"
Everyone's present was left in suspense.
"Clan Master must've defeated that kid!" Chen Qingshan said quickly.
This time, the shadow of Su Mo grew even more prominent in Chen Qingshan's heart.
"Look!"
The light faded, and the two were still fighting.
The two then separated as everyone looked up.
The clan master floated slightly backward while Su Mo was knocked onto the ground, only stopping after fumbling ten steps backward.
