335: Chapter 335 Being Used as an ATM!

Li Juexin suddenly looked up, his crimson eyes staring fixedly at Fu Tianming's face.

That face, which had once been suppressed for ten thousand years and should have vanished into the dust of time, now vividly appeared before him, carrying a deeper malevolence and killing intent.

"Fu Tianming!" Li Juexin's pupils contracted sharply, his voice cracking with extreme fury. "You dare to come back!"

His Divine Thought swept over, instantly sensing Fu Tianming's current Realm.

Early Stage Golden Immortal.

Having been suppressed for ten thousand years with even his body ground away, it was naturally impossible for him to return to his original Realm so quickly.

"You killed my son... I will make you pay with your life!!"

Amidst the roar, Li Juexin's Golden Immortal power erupted violently, blood-red Evil Qi soaring into the sky and transforming into nine ferocious Flood Dragons that tore through space to pounce on Fu Tianming!

This strike, launched in anger, had already surpassed the limits of an ordinary Peak Golden Immortal.

Fu Tianming sneered, not dodging or avoiding at all; instead, his blood-red eyes looked past Li Juexin toward the depths of the Void Realm.

"In the ten thousand years you had me suppressed, you all lived quite happily, didn't you!" His voice suddenly rose like a thunderclap. "Where is Bi Lin?! Get out here!"

"You're looking for death!" Li Juexin was enraged upon hearing this.

Calling for his Dao Companion to his face was an utter humiliation, not to mention the grudge from the recent killing of his son.

The nine blood dragons formed from Evil Qi had already lunged to within three yards of Fu Tianming.

Just then, a gray aura spread silently.

Su Mo, who had been standing quietly to the side, lightly lifted a finger.

The world-destroying blood dragons, upon touching the gray aura, silently dissolved like ice and snow meeting the sun.

The nine Poison Fire Dragons couldn't even let out a wail before they collapsed into specks of green light, only to be swallowed by the gray aura as if they had never existed.

Li Juexin's whole body shook violently, and he turned to look at Su Mo in horror.

This young man, who had been standing by Fu Tianming's side with an aura only at the beginning of the Golden Immortal Realm, had once again casually neutralized his full-strength strike!

It was even more effortless than when he blocked the angry strike earlier, as if he were merely brushing dust off his sleeve.

"You... who exactly are you?!" Li Juexin's eyes flickered with suspicion, and a stormy shock rose in his heart.

Someone who could so easily take his killing move was definitely no ordinary Golden Immortal.

Could he be a Core True Disciple of some Immortal Orthodoxy?

Or the Incarnation of some hidden old monster?

Just as his mind was shaken and he was thinking rapidly—

"Fu Tianming!"

A woman's voice, seductive to the bone yet bone-chillingly cold, suddenly echoed through the entire world.

At the edge of the sky, a streak of green light pierced through the air, landing beside Li Juexin in an instant, revealing a graceful figure.

The woman's face was stunningly beautiful, but her eyes were filled with deep-seated malice and killing intent. Her green palace dress fluttered without wind, and she was surrounded by Bi Lin Immortal Light that shared the same source as Li Juexin's but was even more pure and eerie.

She stared fixedly at Fu Tianming and said word by word, "You. Killed. My. Son."

"You—deserve to die!!"

Fu Tianming turned his head abruptly. The moment his gaze collided with hers, his black robes danced wildly. The hatred accumulated over ten thousand years, the pain of betrayal, and the humiliation of suppression erupted completely at this moment!

"The one who deserves to die is you—"

His roaring voice actually drowned out the wind and clouds across the sky, and his blood-red pupils reflected the figure that was once most familiar but was now most loathed.

"Bi! Lin!"

"How did I treat you back then?!" Fu Tianming's voice was hoarse, every word seemingly squeezed from between his teeth, carrying the pain and hatred that ten thousand years of suppression could not erase. "Yet you joined forces with this pretty boy... to suppress me!!"

Bi Lin's beautiful face suddenly stiffened upon hearing this, then became extremely gloomy.

"Heh..." she sneered, her voice still seductive. "Fu Tianming, wake up! Juexin and I have known each other since childhood and our hearts are one; he is my true Dao Companion! You?"

She glanced contemptuously at the maddened Fu Tianming:

"You're just a self-righteous fool! If it weren't for the resources you had that I urgently needed to help me break through my Bottleneck, do you think I would have spared you a second glance? Submitting to you was merely getting what we each needed!"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Fu Tianming's Evil Qi erupt like a volcano, but even Su Mo was slightly stunned. He then felt a flash of realization and even had an urge to pull out some melon seeds.

My goodness, this drama... is big and fresh!

Su Mo clicked his tongue inwardly, his expression remaining calm on the surface.

So it turns out Old Fu wasn't just cheated on back then, but was also used as a pure ATM?

This plot is more twisted than many storybooks.

Hearing Bi Lin admit to the past in public, Li Juexin showed no shame. Instead, he put his arm around Bi Lin's slender waist and looked at Fu Tianming smugly and coldly:

"Did you hear that? Fu Tianming! Bi Lin was never sincere with you! You were just a stepping stone for us to reach the Peak. Now that you dare to return and seek death, we will refine you completely to appease my son's soul in heaven!"

"Stepping stone... Hahahaha!" Fu Tianming suddenly burst into wild laughter, filled with endless desolation and madness. Blood-red light almost overflowed from his scarlet eyes. "What a stepping stone! What childhood sweethearts! In that case... today, let's settle this ten-thousand-year grudge once and for all!"

"Li Juexin, is this all the confidence you have?" Fu Tianming's voice lowered, becoming even more heart-stopping. "Do you think that with just the two of you, plus some rats hiding their heads and showing their tails, you can suppress me again?"

Li Juexin's face darkened. Knowing his hidden arrangements had been detected, he stopped hiding and shouted loudly, "Where are the Twelve Elders of the Inverse Immortal Alliance?!"

His voice rolled across the sky like thunder.

Buzz—!

Twelve streaks of light, various in color but all carrying the overbearing pressure of a Golden Immortal, shot out from the depths of the Inverse Immortal Alliance's Formation Cores and the nearby mountain mists, landing behind Li Juexin and Bi Lin in an instant.

Fu Tianming's gaze was like a knife as he swept over the twelve Elders, who were at least at the Middle Stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, with several at the Late Stage or even the Peak.

His gaze paused briefly on two of them, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Chixiao, Gu Tu..." He uttered these two names, his voice frighteningly calm. "Back then, we explored Secret Realms together, fought back-to-back, and drank and talked happily, calling each other brothers. Now, you're going to stand on that side and join forces with these two... to deal with me?"

The red-robed old man named Chixiao and True Person Gu Tu, whose face was as pale as a corpse and who was surrounded by Death Qi, changed expressions slightly but soon returned to normal.

Immortal Master Chixiao stroked his long beard and sighed:

"Fellow Daoist Fu, the world is fickle, and the Great Dao is difficult. As Loose Cultivators, we joined the Inverse Immortal Alliance only to seek a stable future and resources. Although our past friendship was real... before the path of the Dao, personal grudges must be set aside for now."

His words seemed helpless, but there wasn't a hint of shame in his eyes.

True Person Gu Tu gave a sinister laugh, revealing his pearly white teeth:

"Fu Tianming, blame yourself for being too ignorant of the times and too trusting of others. Today, the Alliance Leader and his wife want to avenge the Young Lord. As Elders, we must naturally serve. As for the past... it was just a matter of each getting what we needed, why take it seriously?"

"Good! Very good!"

Fu Tianming nodded, saying "good" twice.

"Since friendship is fake and being fellow travelers is an illusion, then I... no longer have any reservations."

He turned his head slightly and said to Su Mo, who had been watching quietly:

"Brother Mo, the scene ahead might be a bit messy. Please step aside for a moment and let me... clean house and settle some old scores."

Hearing this, Su Mo's eyebrows twitched slightly. The playful look of watching a show faded, replaced by a knowing smile.

He nodded and said simply, "Alright, I'll leave it to you then."

Having said that, he really didn't hesitate. His body flickered, and like a faint shadow, he drifted back, crossing his arms in a posture of watching the battle.

Seeing him retreat so decisively, Li Juexin and Bi Lin didn't relax; instead, their hearts tightened inexplicably.

Su Mo's existence was always like a mist. The more casual he was, the harder it was to fathom his depth.

But now the arrow was on the string, and they could no longer afford to overthink.
