Su Mo instantly recognised Hong Qingxuan.
Not just that, he was surprised to see Wu Sheng among them too.
The two others were middle-aged men who were at peak Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm. The black-robed man attacking them was at Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm.
The black-robed man from Cold-blood Hall continued to throw attack after attack on them relentless. Although those two middle-aged men were injured, they were still trying their hardest to block the black-robed man’s attacks in a bid to protect both Hong Qingxuan and Wu Sheng.
However, they were clearly no match for the black-robed man and could be facing death at any moment.
“All of you will have to die!”
“Blood Devil’s Great Handprint!”
The black-robed man yelled coldly and the sky was filled with bloody handprints that quickly headed toward the quartet.
“Break!”
“Break!”
“…”
The two middle-aged men immediately countered his attack with a sword Qi and a fist radiance.
Hong Qingxuan and Wu Sheng may be weaker, but that didn’t stop them from attempting to counter the attacks too.
With a wave of her slender hands, Hong Qingxuan unleashed a huge and sharp petal toward the handprint.
She had changed greatly since the last time they met. Not only had she managed to reach Lv 7 True Spirit Realm, but she was also bursting with life and vigor like that of an evergreen.
Her Ethereal Flower Cut was no longer white, it had turned to green instead and it had been imbued with a lot more power!
Wu Sheng had similarly reached the next level at Lv 6 True Spirit Realm. His mighty sword momentum was even stronger due to improved sword will, giving off an earth-shattering sharpness with each attack.
Su Mo knew that both Hong Qingxuan and Wu Sheng had become stronger thanks to the Legacies they had received at Firmament Palace.
They were rather significant. Su Mo may have received a mightier Legacy, but the ones they had received were still martial arts Legacies meant for martial artists of at least peak Martial Emperor Realm.
Both of them had displayed vast improvement, and Su Mo guessed that they probably received other rewards, or their cultivation wouldn’t have improved so quickly!
Su Mo sighed inwardly; he had received other rewards as well, including Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill, Spirit-maintaining Pill, and Dragonesque Elephant Blood. However, Lil Eight swallowed the Dragonesque Elephant Blood which he could have used to instantly improve his strength.
In the field.
Meanwhile, the four martial artists all delivered powerful blows to counter the bloody handprint.
As powerful as their attacks were, they were still not enough to defeat the black-robed man from Cold-blood Hall at Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm.
Rumble!
With a tremendous bang, the attacks collided and sent out a powerful Qi blast.
The four martial artists’ attacks were destroyed in an instant, and the bloody handprint landed on them heavily, throwing them all into the air.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
They spat out blood and had severe injuries all over their bodies.
The two middle-aged men had borne the brunt of the attack as they had stood in front of Hong Qingxuan and Wu Sheng in order to protect them, which resulted in their injuries being even worse. Blood was practically spewing from their mouths.
Hong Qing and Wu Sheng were weaker, but their injuries were not as bad due to them being behind when the attack landed.
“How dare small gnats like you think you have a chance against me. Don’t think too highly of yourselves!”
The black-robed man sneered and charged at them, ready to finish them off.
“Ninth Princess, leave!”
“Wu Sheng, leave!” the two middle-aged men shouted hurriedly.
After saying that, both men wildly charged together at the black-robed man.
“Uncle Nan!”
“Elder Yang!”
Hong Qingxuan and Wu Sheng shouted simultaneously, their faces pale.
They were travelling together to leave Hong Domain and head to the Dark Domain, but they had not expected to be attacked by an expert from Cold-blood Hall.
Their expressions changed rapidly as they knew that ‘Uncle Nan’ and ‘Elder Yang’ were trying to buy time for their escape. If they stayed there, all four of them would die, and Uncle Nan and Elder Yang would have died in vain!
After Hong Qingxuan and Wu Sheng saw the determination in each other’s gaze, they turned around and were ready to flee.
It was at that moment when a five-colored sword Qi thousands of meters tall suddenly descended from the sky and headed for the black-robed man.
“What?” the black-robed man was shocked, not expecting to be interrupted at this critical moment.
He immediately retreated and gave up on killing Uncle Nan and Elder Yang in order to dodge the five-colored sword Qi.
Boom!
The five-colored sword Qi created a bottomless ditch on the ground.
The five of them raised their heads and saw a handsome, green-robed young man coming from afar.
“Su Mo!”
Hong Qingxuan, Wu Sheng, and the black-robed man from Cold-blood Hall exclaimed at the same time.
Su Mo had saved them. Since Hong Qingxuan and Wu Sheng had both received the Legacies of Firmament Palace, he would naturally protect them, especially from the men of Cold-blood Hall.
Hong Qingxuan and Wu Sheng were surprised at Su Mo’s appearance since they had not seen him again after Gold One took him away in the Firmament Palace. They weren’t sure if Su Mo had obtained the Legacy yet!
The black-robed man was pleasantly surprised to see Su Mo. All of Cold-blood Hall in Hong Domain knew that he had killed Mo Yue, and as an elder of Cold-blood Hall, he had seen Su Mo’s portrait. However, he did not expect to meet him there.
“Hahaha! Su Mo, how dare you show up after killing our young master of Cold-blood Hall?”
The black-robed man instantly gave up on Hong Qingxuan and her companions and flew straight toward Su Mo.
Hong Qingxuan and Wu Sheng were extremely talented disciples of the imperial family of the Great Hong Empire and the Divine Sword Sect respectively. Since these two powers were the archnemesis of Cold-blood Hall, the black-robed man initially came here to kill them.
However, that was nothing when compared to killing Su Mo.
In any case, itmight still not be too late to kill them all after finishing Su Mo off.
“Su Mo, go to hell!” the black-robed man charged at his oponent and attacked without hesitation.
His palms stretched out and unleashed a powerful gigantic bloody handprint at Su Mo.
“Su Mo, watch out!”
Wu Sheng screamed. He considered Su Mo his friend and they even partnered up to rob other geniuses in the Firmament Divine Realm. He was unwilling to see him die in the hands of the black-robed man.
“No need to worry! He’s only at Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm!”
Su Mo said flatly.
The few of them were startled by Su Mo’s words. Even the black-robed man from Cold-blood Hall was stunned.
