Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Apparently, Fu Yuanqing was familiar with the place. He took Su Mo to a mountain range after they had passed through a grassland.
The mountain range occupied a large piece of land. There were several low mountains with trees growing on the peak.
“Sir, this place has the most Path Swords but it is also the place where most fights take place.”
Fu Yuanqing said grimly as he stood at the side of the mountain range.
“Do most people come here?” Su Mo asked. Many people must have been eliminated from the earlier tests.
Only a handful of them had passed the tests. As they were scattered around the area, Su Mo reckoned that not many people would be in one particular area.
“At least 1,000 people will come to this mountain range at different times. This place is filled with danger!” Fu Yuanqing replied. The target for this round of the test involved the Path Swords. All of them would try to snatch the Path Swords from one another and fights would be unavoidable.
“Do you have any idea where the Path Swords are usually located?” Su Mo asked.
“I have no idea!”
Fu Yuanqing shook his head and said, “We have no idea where the Paths Swords are located. They could be anywhere. The tricky part is not how to find them but how to prevent them from being snatched away by the people!”
“Do you mean that even if we manage to find the Path Swords, they can be snatched away from us?” Su Mo asked.
“Yes!” Fu Yuanqing nodded. He knew that Su Mo was mighty.
However, Su Mo had a low cultivation level. Fu Yuanqing believed that If Su Mo were to meet Yun Mu, Tuoba Liuming, and Qianhuan Demon Lord, he would not be able to contend with them as they were the Favored Ones.
“In this case, we shall look for the people!” Su Mo said as his eyes glittered. Since the situation was as such, he might as well snatch the Path Swords from the people instead of searching for the Path Swords.
“Is that your strategy? To snatch the Path Swords from the people?” Light flashed in Fu Yuanqing’s eyes as he asked. Although Su Mo was powerful, Fu Yuanqing felt that he did not have the ability to do so.
Su Mo would be taking a risk. If he were to come across a top power or he was besieged by a few top powers, he could lose his life.
“You shall come with me!” Su Mo said grimly. Since Fu Yuanqing was familiar with the place, Su Mo wanted to keep him by his side for the time being.
“Huh!” Fu Yuanqing’s face cringed when he heard what Su Mo had said. He would be in danger if he stayed with Su Mo.
Although Fu Yuanqing was a gifted genius, he knew his own abilities. Given his current cultivation level, he could be easily killed by the people.
“Come. Bring me to the place where you think there are Path Swords or where there are people around!” Su Mo said.
“Alright!” Fu Yuanqing had no choice but to listen to Su Mo. He had decided to move away when Su Mo snatched the Path Swords from the people so that he would not be killed in the process.
Before long, Fu Yuanqing had brought Su Mo into the mountain range.
Although Fu Yuanqing was familiar with the place, he had not been to the mountain range. He could only look for the places where the Path Swords might be located or where the people would go according to the information that he had obtained.
“In another eight minutes, we will come to a canyon. I’ve heard that every time the Great Sword Sepulcher opens, Path Swords will be found in the canyon!” As they flew, Fu Yuanqing pointed at the front and told Su Mo.
“Alright! Let’s go to the canyon!” Su Mo nodded. This time around, he had decided to focus on snatching the Path Swords from the people.
Before long, they came to a grand canyon that covered a fair distance.
There were several small caves on both sides of the cliffs in the canyon.
The caves were dark and no one had any idea where they led to.
“There may be Path Swords or people in these caves!” Fu Yuanqing said.
“Alright!”
Su Mo nodded. He landed in the canyon and sat cross-legged in a corner.
“Are we supposed to…sit here and wait?” Fu Yuanqing asked in amazement as he stood in front of Su Mo.
“Let’s wait!”
Su Mo nodded. He had decided to sit there and wait as he was too lazy to search around.
Someone would be there since the Path Swords might be found in the area. Su Mo would take action once he saw someone coming out of the caves.
“Alright!” Fu Yuanqing sighed and sat some distance away from Su Mo.
He was afraid of getting too close to Su Mo. If Su Mo were to come across some powerful opponents, Fu Yuanqing could escape instantly and not get himself killed.
The two of them did not converse and they waited patiently.
Su Mo cultivated as he waited. He had a firm foundation in his cultivation level and he had almost reached Rank 3 True God Realm.
They did not have to wait for long. Before long, someone walked out of a cave nearby.
He was young and short, and he was muscular. He was a Rank 3 Advanced True God with a rich aura.
He was surprised when he saw Su Mo and Fu Yuanqing sitting in the canyon.
He laughed and walked toward Fu Yuanqing.
“Hey! Do you have any Path Swords with you? Hand them over and I will spare your life!” The short youth said as he stared coldly at Fu Yuanqing.
He did not go to Su Mo as Su Mo had a low cultivation level. He reckoned that Su Mo was Fu Yuanqing’s servant.
When Fu Yuanqing heard what the short youth had said, he was afraid. He immediately looked at Su Mo, who had shut his eyes.
“Do you have any Path Swords? Hand them over and I will not kill you!” Su Mo said flatly as he opened his eyes to look at the short youth.
“Eh?” The short youth raised his brows and found it interesting. He was surprised to hear a Rank 2 True God making such a comment.
Swoosh!
Su Mo did not wait for the short youth to reply. He stabbed out with his fingers as a sword and attacked the short youth.
He knew that it was meaningless to talk. Only when one had power could one suppress another person.
When Su Mo threw out the blow, chaotic Sword Qi whizzed across the sky, with the devouring power surging in it.
“What?” The short youth was shocked when he saw it. He could tell that Su Mo was powerful from the blow.
From the devouring power, he knew that he could not outrun the Sword Qi. Without hesitation, he threw out a blow with his sword to counter Su Mo’s blow.
Whoosh!
The vast Sword Qi turned into a huge Stone Sword and hit the chaotic Sword Qi.
Boom!
The Stone Sword was vulnerable and it burst at the explosion. The sharp chaotic Sword Qi hit the short youth in an instant.
Ah!
A loud cry resounded in the canyon as the short youth was thrown off. He hit the cliff nearby and spurted blood.
Fortunately, the short youth had great defensive power. He managed to stay alive as his body seemed to turn into a rock.
“Fu Yuanqing, check if he has any Path Swords with him!” Su Mo instructed Fu Yuanqing without getting up.
Fu Yuanqing had hidden nearby. When he heard what Su Mo had said, he went up to check on the short youth.
The short youth did not have the ability to resist Fu Yuanqing as he was seriously injured. After Fu Yuanqing had searched him, he found a Path Sword.
“Here it is!”
Fu Yuanqing came to Su Mo in a flash and handed the Path Sword to him. When he saw that Su Mo looked calm, he was amazed.
Although Su Mo had a low cultivation level, he had great combat strength that caused one to shiver in fear.
After the short youth had lost his Path Sword, he left in a hurry, looking unhappy.
“Good job!” Su Mo complimented Fu Yuanqing and put away the Path Sword.
The Path Sword had a profound aura and it belonged to a different Way of the Sword.
Su Mo had two Path Swords at that moment. He would be able to gather 10 or even more Path Swords effortlessly.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
As there were movements in that area, the other martial artists were alerted. After a short while, air-rending sounds broke out.
Su Mo’s gaze froze all of a sudden. He sensed Murong Leili’s aura.
“Great!” Su Mo curled his lips into a cold smile. Murong Leili had pursued him to Void City and it was time for Murong Leili to pay the price.
Su Mo stood up and looked past the canyon, into the horizon.
He looked grave. He had to be cautious as Murong Leili was with a group of people.
After all, Murong Leili was from Ultimate Supreme Being Palace and many disciples would be with him.
Han Sheng might be with him and he was a Rank 4 True God.. Su Mo believed that Han Sheng was mighty.
