Chapter 151: Demon Armor—He's Actually Demon Armor
The cultivators were filled with envy.
Some even felt a pang of jealousy.
They had gambled for years, lost everything, and didn't win a single treasure.
Why should this guy win two treasures in one go?
Luo Shuanghan was initially just a little disappointed.
Now, he felt a sense of loss.
Two pieces of Thunder Essence.
Such a huge loss.
At this moment, a cultivator suddenly shouted, "Fellow Daoist, are you willing to sell these two pieces of Thunder Essence? Name your price; I'll buy them!"
Everyone looked over and saw the speaker wearing the deep blue steward's robe of the Storm Rain Sect.
As soon as he spoke, several other voices followed.
All of them were cultivators eager to purchase the Thunder Essence.
They could offer an extremely high price, clearly indicating that they were well-off members of prestigious sects.
Some were from the Purple Star Sect, while others came from the more northern Liejiang Sect.
They weren't buying the Thunder Essence for themselves, but for their respective sects.
Shen Mo, however, shook his head. "Not for sale. I plan to keep it for myself."
With that, he put the two pieces of Thunder Essence into his bag and turned to leave.
The cultivators stepped aside, allowing Shen Mo to leave swiftly.
Many rogue cultivators exchanged dangerous glances, then quietly followed him out.
Luo Shuanghan noticed their expressions.
But he pretended not to see and had no intention of warning that person.
They were merely strangers crossing paths—why should he act the good Samaritan?
If he warned him and that water-patterned mask-wearing man was still killed by those rogue cultivators,
then those rogues might come after him as well.
No one else warned him, yet you spoke up. Like to meddle in others' affairs?
...
Outside the grand auction hall.
Just as Shen Mo was about to leave, he sensed a figure approaching from behind.
Faint malice was in the air.
"Interesting, a rogue cultivator at the Core Formation stage?"
Shen Mo turned around to face the newcomer.
The man was a burly figure with a rugged face and a fierce presence.
"Impressive perception. I thought you'd only realize it after you're dead," the man sneered.
Shen Mo chuckled. "Trying to rob me of the Thunder Essence?"
The man replied indifferently, "I'm someone who believes in fairness. I have twenty low-grade spirit stones here to buy your two pieces of Thunder Essence."
"Hand over the goods, and we'll make the exchange. This isn't robbery; it's a fair trade."
Shen Mo laughed. "Forcing a sale, huh? How's that a fair trade?"
The man raised an eyebrow, a cold glint in his eyes. "So, you're refusing a fair trade?"
"You want to fight me? Not afraid of the elders from the Qingxuan Sect?" Shen Mo sneered.
The man sneered back. "Once I kill you, I'll flee from the Golden River. Even the resident elders of Flying Fish City won't catch me."
As he finished speaking, he swung a vicious punch straight at Shen Mo!
Water spiritual energy surged and condensed into a ferocious tiger's head in an instant, lunging forward to devour him!
He didn't give Shen Mo any chance to react.
The onlooking cultivators were horrified and scattered in all directions.
"Angry River Tiger! That's the Water Tiger's technique!"
"Damn! The Water Tiger actually dared to enter Flying Fish City! This guy has nerves of steel!"
"That man is doomed. The Water Tiger is absurdly powerful."
"Not just that; he's not only strong but also extremely arrogant. It's said that the Qingxuan Sect once tried to recruit him, but not only did he refuse, he even killed the recruiters they sent."
"No way! I never imagined he'd disguise himself and sneak into Flying Fish City, even entering the grand auction hall!"
The onlookers were all in shock.
The notorious reputation of the Water Tiger was well known in the areas surrounding Flying Fish City.
Many parents would even use his name to scare their children, saying that if they didn't sleep well at night, the Water Tiger would come and eat them alive!
Luo Shuanghan, along with cultivators from the Storm Rain Sect, Purple Star Sect, Liejiang Sect, and other sects, had also stepped out of the auction hall to witness the scene.
They were all astonished.
The Water Tiger had the audacity to enter Flying Fish City and brazenly make a move in broad daylight.
A cold sneer rose in Luo Shuanghan's heart.
Those Thunder Essences were supposed to be his opportunity, but that man with the water-patterned mask had seized them.
Perfect. Now, let the Water Tiger kill him!
This was truly a blessing in disguise.
"So, you're the Water Tiger?"
Shen Mo chuckled lightly.
Unexpectedly, he ran right into this situation.
The two pieces of Thunder Essence must be too valuable, causing even the Water Tiger to succumb to greed.
Even if it meant revealing his identity, he was determined to kill and seize the Thunder Essence.
"Hehehe, just realizing now? Too late!"
"I know you're at the Core Formation stage too, but you are not my match!"
Water Tiger's punch was already hurtling forward.
The ferocious tiger head was almost about to take a huge bite at Shen Mo.
Only then did Shen Mo leisurely raise his right arm.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
A purple-black demonic armor suddenly appeared.
In an instant, it wrapped around his entire right arm!
"Purple-black...arm armor?"
"Damn, he's Demon Armor! He's the one who crushed the White River Sect's leader Lü Xinyue two months ago in White Stone City!"
"My god, Demon Armor is here too?!"
The surrounding cultivators' eyes widened instantly.
They could hardly believe it!
Who would have thought they'd witness both Demon Armor and Water Tiger today?
It was a true feast for the eyes!
The cultivators from the Storm Rain Sect, Purple Star Sect, and Liejiang Sect froze, then were filled with ecstasy.
They had been searching for Demon Armor for so long.
Who would have thought they'd encounter him today!
In contrast, Luo Shuanghan felt a sense of relief.
"Demon Armor... He's actually Demon Armor..."
"Luckily, I didn't offend him with my words earlier, or I might have ended up on his list..."
Upon hearing this name, Water Tiger's body shuddered.
He had heard of the notorious reputation of Demon Armor.
He considered himself strong, but he didn't think he could match Lü Xinyue.
If Demon Armor used his Ice Thorn Armor, he would certainly be obliterated.
But...
Water Tiger glanced at his opponent's right arm again.
It seemed that the other party had no intention of using the Ice Thorn Armor.
Is he unable to use it temporarily?
A surge of greed rose within Water Tiger.
If he killed Demon Armor here and seized that arm armor, wouldn't his strength skyrocket, gaining fame throughout Xuanjiang Prefecture?
"Without that move, you still think you can kill me? Facing death, and you're still dreaming."
Shen Mo noticed his gaze and chuckled lightly.
The next moment, he threw a fierce punch.
The purple-black fist crashed into the ferocious water tiger head.
Boom!
Water splashed and shot in all directions.
The onlookers quickly employed their own techniques to either dodge or defend.
Some who loved to watch the excitement but lacked the means to withstand the aftershocks clutched their wounds, wailing miserably.
Loving the excitement without the strength to back it up—this is the price you pay.
Bang!
A large figure was sent flying.
A gaping hole opened up in his chest.
Blood gushed out, quickly forming a small pool.
The Water Tiger, who had roamed freely around Flying Fish City and left even the elders of Qingxuan Sect helpless, was killed in one blow!
At this moment, a streak of light hurriedly arrived.
An elderly Qingxuan Sect elder emerged from the light, stunned to see the large man lying lifeless in a pool of blood.
"Just got here?"
"I'll leave the body for you to handle."
Shen Mo said indifferently, casually retracting the demonic armor from his right arm.
"Don't leave, Fellow Daoist Demon Armor! I am Luo Shuanghan, an envoy of the Governor's Office. The Governor greatly admires your strength and hopes you will join the Prefecture Office!"
"You can have any treatment you desire, as long as you join us!" Luo Shuanghan suddenly called out loudly.
