147: Chapter 147 The Fire-Clearing Master!

After trading a punch with Gu Qing in his peak condition, surprise and doubt flashed in Su Mo's eyes.

This Bedrock Hegemon Body truly has some tricks to it.

Within this Domain, Gu Qing seemed to transform into the core of a small asteroid; the closer one got to him, the geometrically greater the pressure became.

Moreover, he seemed to have connected with the Earth Veins beneath his feet, strengthening his physical defense to a terrifying degree.

It could be said that he had completely become a tank with both control and durability.

His only flaw was probably his slow speed; no matter how close he got, he couldn't slow Su Mo down even slightly.

"You said you wanted to spar with me, so are you only going to run?!"

Gu Qing roared repeatedly in frustration. In his Domain, Su Mo seemed completely unaffected. Gu Qing was only able to passively take hits, unable to even touch the corner of Su Mo's clothes.

This feeling of having power but nowhere to use it made his already furious emotions spiral further out of control.

"Run?"

Su Mo curled his lip and smiled.

He had only casually dodged twice, yet Gu Qing had become like a startled kitten.

"Do you know how people in my hometown make agitated kittens calm down?"

Su Mo spoke lightly while effortlessly dodging Gu Qing's slow and clumsy fists.

Hearing this, Gu Qing became even more enraged, his attacks growing wilder, yet still proving futile.

Su Mo extended a finger, and a highly concentrated, dazzling point of light condensed on its tip.

Pfft—!

The next moment, the point of light transformed into a beam condensed to the extreme, instantly piercing through Gu Qing's body, which was wrapped in layers of Earth Vein power.

Gu Qing's figure suddenly froze, his eyes splitting with rage as he stared in disbelief at that important part beneath his lower abdomen, which concerned a man's entire life.

He could clearly feel a searing pain spreading from the 'bullet pouch' beside his Foundation; the sharp pain shot straight to his head.

Although this injury was not even considered minor to a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, for a man, it was the ultimate humiliation!

"Ah—!!"

"Die! Die! Die!"

He let out a heart-rending roar, and abnormal Blood Flames began to burn around his body, causing his aura to surge abruptly.

Su Mo could tell that he was burning his essence blood, significantly increasing his strength.

But... he was too noisy!

"Obnoxious!"

Su Mo slightly frowned.

He had originally wanted to see the difference between the Bedrock Hegemon Body and the War Heaven Overlord Body, but now it seemed Gu Qing was just an idiot with an underdeveloped cerebellum.

Su Mo's figure flashed and vanished, and a blinding light erupted in front of Gu Qing, making him squint.

Boom!!

The extreme speed and physique brought forth extreme power, which exploded upon Gu Qing's body.

Gu Qing's figure immediately flew backward, shattering his Domain, smashing through the Protective Light Screen of the Training Ground, and finally crashing into the mountain body a thousand meters away.

"Brother-in-law, you didn't kill him, did you?"

Heaven Battle quickly ran up to Su Mo and asked cautiously.

Although he couldn't see the scene inside the Domain just now, the power unleashed when the Domain shattered and the miserable sight of Gu Qing flying backward made his heart pound with fear.

If it had been him, taking that move from Su Mo just now, he would have had to kneel down and beg not to die.

"It's fine, at most he's severely injured."

"Seeing how angry he was, I even helped him quell his fire."

Su Mo patted non-existent dust off his hands, his tone flat:

"However, there is one thing you said that was absolutely right."

"His brain really doesn't work very well..."

Li Xing stood nearby, but his face showed no excitement; instead, he felt quite bored:

"Why does it feel... a bit meaningless..."

Su Mo turned his head and smiled faintly:

"Bullying an idiot really isn't very interesting."

Hearing this, Li Xing was instantly speechless.

If the idiot ranks third on the deity transformation prodigy ranking, then what does he, who ranks fifth, count as? Is he even worse than an idiot?

He silently picked up his wine gourd and took a large gulp, suddenly feeling that this Spirit Wine wasn't so tasty anymore, and his heart felt heavy.

Just then, Luo Li arrived belatedly.

"Where is Gu Qing?"

He scanned the area, only seeing a devastated Training Ground, but no sign of Gu Qing.

"He's lying down in there."

Heaven Battle pointed toward the collapsed mountain wall in the distance.

"The sparring is already over?!"

"That fast?!"

Luo Li looked at Su Mo, whose aura was stable, who had no injuries whatsoever, and whose hair wasn't even messy, and spoke in disbelief.

Generally speaking, battles between Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators always take a long time.

Even if a victor is decided, it would be impossible for them to look as relaxed as Su Mo did.

To be able to achieve this level, it meant... the gap between Su Mo's strength and Gu Qing's was large enough to completely crush him.

Luo Li gasped, his throat dry, and the look in his eyes when facing Su Mo completely changed:

"Fellow Daoist Su... the Saint isn't dead, right?"

Su Mo chuckled:

"Naturally, he's not dead. Since we are both Righteous Path Sects, I held back some strength."

The facts he stated, however, sounded different to the ears of the crowd.

They secretly thought:

This youth is terrifying!

Luo Li hurriedly ran toward the collapsed mountain wall.

Even if Gu Qing wasn't smart, he was still Luo Li's Junior Brother and the Saint of the Hegemon Body Sect, so it was best to go and check on him.

After Luo Li left, Su Mo suddenly caught sight of a Escape Light in the sky not far away.

The figure inside the Escape Light caused Su Mo to pause, and he revealed a faint smile.

The reason Luo Li arrived slightly late was that halfway there, he suddenly recalled Junior Sister Xiao, whom Su Mo had mentioned.

His heart stirred, thinking that since Su Mo had traveled a great distance and possessed good strength, it would be excellent if he could form a beneficial connection.

Thus, he made a detour and personally went to War Heaven Peak.

In a flash, the Escape Light dissipated, and Xiao Yurou's figure landed on the Training Ground.

Her gaze eagerly scanned the Training Ground, seemingly searching for something.

Xiao Yurou was originally recovering from her injuries in her new Immortal Cave, intending to continue secluded cultivation to raise her strength as quickly as possible.

But she was suddenly informed by Outer Sect Elder Luo Li that an old acquaintance surnamed Su had come to visit.

A monstrous wave immediately surged in her heart, and she rushed over at the fastest possible speed.

Finally, Xiao Yurou's gaze locked onto the familiar figure with a smile playing on his lips.

All her worries, grievances, and the forced strength she maintained within the unfamiliar Sect found an outlet at this moment.

Without a word, her figure flashed. Ignoring the many gazes present, she rushed straight into Su Mo's arms, tightly wrapping her arms around his waist and burying her face deep into his chest.

Feeling the familiar aura and warmth, the tightly strung chord in Xiao Yurou's heart completely relaxed, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

Su Mo was slightly startled, and then a flash of understanding passed through his eyes.

His appearance seemed to be fixed by his Divine Soul, changing only slightly in each lifetime, so it was not surprising that Xiao Yurou recognized him instantly.

Su Mo gently raised his hand, softly patted her back, and whispered:

"It's alright. I've returned."
