"Clan Master has the upper hand. I want to see if that kid will behave so arrogantly after this."
The disciples of the Myriad Flower Blade Clan cheered.
"You're pretty good, but you're too reckless. If I were you and I knew that an expert cultivator wanted to kill me, I would have hidden instead of throwing my life away," the clan master said indifferently.
Su Mo was much more solemn compared to the clan master's indifference.
"Cut the crap. Whether or not I can defeat you depends on my capabilities. I just gained the upper hand in one move. You don't want to end up like your precious disciple, do you? All good looks but nothing to show for it!" Su Mo said coldly.
Instead of intimidating Su Mo with his words, the clan master only aroused Su Mo's fighting spirit.
Su Mo had faced the most capable cultivators of his generation, yet he crushed them without much effort. He could even use external forces to defeat his enemies.
Su Mo became excited because he finally faced an enemy that gave him a challenge.
"I'm a level five Golden Core Realm Cultivator! I am not someone you can compare to!" The clan master's words struck Su Mo's fighting spirit.
"Cut the bullsh*t and come at me," Su Mo said as he exhaled a mouthful of cold air.
After Su Mo said that, his figure disappeared.
"That speed…"
Before the clan master could finish speaking, he immediately drew his sword to defend himself from Su Mo's punch.
However, Su Mo did not clash with the clan master head-on. Instead, he disappeared the moment he collided with the clan master.
Then Su Mo reappeared beside the clan master.
The clan master grew tired in the extended fight and dropped his guard for a moment. Su Mo then seized the opportunity and fiercely punched the clan master onto the ground.
"Clan Master!"
"How is this possible? That kid managed to knock Clan Master down!"
The disciples of the Myriad Flower Blade Clan were all in disbelief.
"Something's wrong. That kid has a defensive spirit weapon as well!"
Although Su Mo had knocked the clan master to the ground, the clan master didn't seem to be injured. However, Su Mo had expected this.
When the smoke cleared and the dust settled, the clan master slowly stood up from the ground as his clothes were damaged slightly.
"It's been many years since someone was able to make me look so miserable. Are you ready to face my wrath, kid?" The clan master said as he slowly ascended into the air.
Petals appeared around the clan master as he rose higher into the air. The petals filled the sky and swirled around the clan master, protecting him.
Su Mo sensed danger with each petal that appeared.
"Your clan master knows a secret technique from the Distraction Realm?" Lord Emissary was shocked.
Lord Emissary could sense a trace of Sword Intent on each petal.
This is undoubtedly not a technique of the Golden Core Realm. Even the Nascent Soul Realm does not possess this technique,' Lord Emissary thought as he grew excited.
"No, this is a secret technique of the Myriad Flower Blade Clan, and those in the Golden Core Realm can only use it. However, there's a price to pay if one wants to ascend into the Golden Core Realm," Chen Qingshan explained.
When Lord Emissary heard this explanation, he understood that this was not a technique he could eventually acquire.
"Remnant of the Crimson Heart Clan, this is my strongest technique. If you can survive this, you win. But if you don't, well, I guess it's obvious that you will die."
"Petal Blizzard!" The clan master roared.
Su Mo did not expect to anger the clan master to this extent after unintentionally ridiculing the clan master's looks.
"It seems that I have no choice but to use that move," Su Mo muttered to himself.
Before Su Mo left the village, he had taken some secret techniques that suited his needs from the grand library and the system's dimension.
"Heavenly Creation Palm!"
This secret technique had no rank. However, every time it was to strike an opponent, it would drain the user of all his strength, including his mana, blood essence, Qi, and spirit.
This palm technique was even more terrifying than the Heavenly Emperor Fist, but it was an enormous risk for someone to drain themselves during an ongoing battle willingly. But Su Mo was willing to risk it.
The Heavenly Creation Palm would also drain the caster's life force when insufficient energy. This palm technique was indeed an evil spell.
The flower petals gathered and rapidly blew toward Su Mo.
Su Mo completed his cultivation of the Heavenly Creation Palm. At that time, a small bronze-colored palm print, the size of an average person's palm, could be seen. However, the energy fluctuations within the palm made the spectators below feel a trace of fear.
The Petal Blizzard and Heavenly Creation Palm collided.
For a moment, the clouds in the sky scattered, the ground began to rumble, and everyone below lost their balance. Even some of the buildings in the Myriad Flower Blade Village had collapsed.
The palm print swept away everything in its path, breaking through the clan master's technique and slamming into the clan master's body.
The clan master's defensive spirit weapon also appeared. It was a blue orb, but it shattered as soon as it appeared.
The Heavenly Creation Palm hit the clan master's body, slamming him onto the ground.
An enormous palm print was embedded into the center of the Myriad Flower Blade Village, and the clan master was deep inside of it.
The clan master had fallen onto the ground and could not get up, but he was still alive.
"You Golden Core Realm cultivators are truly unyielding," Su Mo taunted.
Su Mo then took out a recovery pill from the system's dimension and swallowed it. After that, he quickly landed and rushed straight for the clan master.
"Protect the clan master!" Chen Qingshan hurriedly shouted when he saw Su Mo rushing forward.
The disciples, who were in a state of shock, quickly regained their thoughts and quickly approached their clan master. However, their speed could not compare to Su Mo.
Before the disciples could enter the palm-shaped crater, Su Mo had already appeared before the clan master.
"You've already won, sir. Please don't kill our clan master!" Chen Qingshan said bitterly.
"No! Why would I let him live if he's trying to kill me?" Su Mo asked in return.
No one from the Myriad Flower Blade Clan could answer for a moment.
The disciples didn't even dare to go and help their fallen comrades.
The blast from Su Mo's attack nearly wiped out the entire Myriad Flower Blade Village and killed dozens of disciples.
"Fellow Daoist, be merciful. Let the clan master live. This was originally meant to be a sparring session. There is no need to fight to the death," Lord Emissary said as he stepped forward.
The Nine Heavens Palace had given Lord Emissary a mission to establish a collaboration with the Myriad Flower Blade Clan. If the clan master died, Lord Emissary would not be able to complete his mission. So he decided to plead for the clan master.
"A sparring session? You speak such nonsense. This old man intended to kill me. Those who live by the sword will die by the sword! You didn't care when he wanted to kill me. Now that I want to kill the clan master, you want to defend him as if you are his knight in shining armor. I want to kill him now! Don't plead his case, or I'll kill you all!" Su Mo said domineeringly.
Su Mo hated these people who had double standards.
"Fellow Daoist, I came from the Nine Heavens Palace to discuss a collaboration with the clan master. The Myriad Flower Sword Clan is now a subordinate of the Nine Heavens Palace. You should understand the meaning behind this explanation, right? Lord Emissary said proudly.
