26: Chapter 26 From Support to Main Force

"Boom!"

Su Mo's massive body landed in front of a luxurious Immortal Cave, kicking up a cloud of dust.

After some twists and turns, he finally arrived at the Huo Xin Demon King's Immortal Cave.

"Tsk, this Huo Xin Demon King really knows how to enjoy life!"

The area around the Immortal Cave was filled with Spiritual Flowers and Spiritual Plants, with quite a few saplings bearing Spiritual Fruit, and even a rockery with flowing water.

"Is anyone home?"

He waited for a long while, but no one came out. Usually, with such a big commotion, any normal person would come out to investigate.

"Not home?"

Su Mo grabbed the gates of the Immortal Cave with both hands and exerted a bit of force.

"Crack!"

There seemed to be a membrane outside the Immortal Cave, which Su Mo forcibly tore apart, making a crisp sound.

Inside the Immortal Cave, aside from scattered decorations, there wasn't a soul to be seen.

"Behind you!"

As Blue Heart called out a warning, Su Mo also felt an increasingly heavy sense of pressure from behind.

Su Mo turned around, squinting into the distance. He could vaguely see seven figures, some running, some jumping, and some flying, approaching at an incredible speed.

"Huo Xin Demon King, Howling Wind Demon King, Golden Plume Demon King..."

"The seven Great Demon Kings are all here!"

Old Turtle's figure silently appeared on Su Mo's shoulder, speaking with a grave expression.

Su Mo glanced at his shoulder and grinned, revealing his snow-white fangs.

"Perfect timing. Saves me the trouble of finding them one by one."

Old Turtle sighed upon hearing this.

"Kid, don't try to be a hero."

"Fourth-rank is different from third-rank. Fourth-rank Spirit Beasts have awakened their Innate Divine Abilities."

"You've just entered the fourth-rank; it's impossible for you to take on the seven Great Demon Kings together. It's better to avoid their brunt for now..."

Su Mo shook his head and interrupted him.

"Old Turtle, are you looking down on me too much?"

"We're all fourth-rank. We won't know who wins or loses until we clash."

Seeing that Su Mo wasn't afraid but instead looked eager to try, Old Turtle said helplessly:

"Kid, if I weren't waiting for you to give me a hand, I wouldn't bother with you."

"Since I gained intelligence, I've cultivated for five thousand years to reach my current level. I've seen many Geniuses fall, yet I've survived."

"Do you know why? Because I follow the 'Three Nos': don't mind others' business, don't take risks, and don't touch Karma."

Su Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing Old Turtle's words.

"Old Turtle, you've cultivated for over five thousand years just to reach the Peak of the fourth-rank?"

Hearing this, Old Turtle's face stiffened, and he gave a cold snort.

"I can block at most three for you. The rest is up to you."

While the fox and the turtle were talking, the seven Great Demon Kings had already arrived.

The Huo Xin Demon King glanced at her ruined Immortal Cave, a flash of heartache in her eyes. Inside were many Human Race items she had painstakingly collected, and even a Human Race Cultivator's Formation.

Unfortunately, it was all gone now.

She looked up at the top of Su Mo's head, her eyes gleaming.

"As long as she could get that white fox, these losses were nothing!"

The Howling Wind Demon King, riding the gale, hovered at the same level as Su Mo's shoulder and said in a muffled voice:

"Old Turtle, as expected, you're plotting something with this fox demon. This King..."

"Boom!"

Su Mo threw a punch with zero startup; the Howling Wind Demon King couldn't react at all. In the blink of an eye, he was sent flying, crashing through dozens of century-old trees before stopping.

In the dust, the Howling Wind Demon King had transformed from human form into a massive tiger. He coughed up a lot of blood, his pupils filled with disbelief.

"If he hadn't been on guard, with invisible Wind Armor condensed around his body, that punch would have sent him to see his great-grandmother."

Fortunately, his injuries weren't severe; he could take two more punches like that.

Su Mo shook his hand and sneered.

"Too much nonsense."

Seeing this, the expressions of the other six Great Demon Kings changed simultaneously.

High in the sky, the Golden Plume Demon King let out a shrill cry, her spiritual energy turning into feathered arrows that shot toward Su Mo.

"Attack together!"

Old Turtle didn't have time to be shocked by Su Mo's strength. He flashed forward to block three Demon Kings: a pig, a bear, and a wolf.

The four of them transformed into their original forms and fought in a heap. Old Turtle focused on tanking, his thick shell blocking all attacks, leaving only his long, scaly, snake-like tail to fight.

Meanwhile...

Su Mo dodged the incoming golden feathered arrows and threw a punch at the Ape Demon below. The Ape Demon couldn't dodge and took the punch head-on.

Strangely, Su Mo didn't feel the sensation of flesh and blood; instead, it felt like hitting a ball of cotton. When he pulled his fist away, the Ape Demon's body suddenly vanished into a puff of green smoke.

Su Mo frowned.

"Clone Technique?"

As soon as he spoke, the ground in front of him and the surrounding trees were filled with figures of the Ape Demon. It was impossible to tell which was the original, or if there even was one.

"Interesting..."

This was the first time Su Mo had encountered an Ape Demon with such a talent skill. An excited light flashed in his eyes.

"Since I can't tell them apart..." Su Mo took a deep breath, and his figure instantly vanished, "Then I'll destroy them all!"

"Boom boom boom..."

A series of deafening explosions echoed through the forest. Su Mo's movements were unpredictable; every time he appeared, an Ape Demon Clone would explode.

The Golden Plume Demon King, circling high in the sky, seized the opportunity. With a flap of her wings, countless golden feathered arrows poured down like a rainstorm, covering several miles.

"Dapeng, can't you aim properly?!"

One of the Ape Demon Clones on the ground roared.

About thirty percent of his Clones had been wiped out by the Golden Plume Demon King's move, making the Ape Demon hop with rage.

Su Mo dodged nimbly through the rain of arrows. What he couldn't dodge, he shattered with his fists. After the barrage, Su Mo hadn't even scratched his skin.

"Huo Xin! Howling Wind! Why aren't you two attacking?!"

The Golden Plume Demon King shouted at the two standing aside.

The Howling Wind Demon King had returned long ago, but seeing Su Mo's fierce offensive, he was momentarily afraid to step forward.

The Huo Xin Demon King chuckled, covering her mouth.

"Brother Golden Plume, don't be Life Qi~ I'm just looking for an opportunity~"

The fox demon secretly activated her talent skill, and her charming voice appeared in the tiger demon's mind.

"Brother Tiger, in a moment, I'll create an opportunity for you to deal him a heavy blow."

The Howling Wind Demon King narrowed his tiger eyes and nodded imperceptibly, riding the gale to circle around Su Mo, searching for an opening.

Within a few breaths, only a few of the Ape Demon's Clones remained.

This Ape Demon seemed able to swap positions with his Clones. Every time Su Mo thought he had found the original body, his punch would hit a Clone instead.

"Once all the Clones are gone, let's see how you swap then!"

Su Mo gave a wicked smile, looking at the panting original body of the Ape Demon.

The Ape Demon groaned inwardly, cursing the other Demon Kings for being unreliable. He had a skill meant for survival, yet he was being used as the main force while his three teammates watched from the sidelines.

"Are you guys coming or not? I... holy crap!"

Before he could finish, Su Mo's fist landed where the Ape Demon had been.

Su Mo didn't give him time to breathe, pressing him closely. After several swaps, all the Clones had been sacrificed, leaving only the original body of the Ape Demon with a look of despair.

Su Mo didn't even think before throwing a punch. Just as his fist was about to land on the Ape Demon—

"Ying—!"
