In the cave, Su Mo was waiting. His eyes were closed and he was sitting cross-legged.
Before long, the sound of footsteps came from the demon cave.
A burly figure rushed out quickly from the demon cave.
The man was drenched in blood and had two huge bleeding wounds. He stopped suddenly when he was 10 steps away from Su Mo.
He was one of the five geniuses, Cao Yuan.
With the fastest speed, Cao Yuan was the first to get rid of the Demonic Insects and escape.
"Su Mo, I can't believe that you didn't escape!"
With his eyes bright, Cao Yuan was surprised. However, the next moment, he looked confused.
Logically speaking, having grabbed so many Empty Spirit Fruits, Su Mo should have escaped as soon as possible instead of sitting here now.
Thinking carefully, Cao Yuan did not attack at once, because even though Su Mo's cultivation was half a step to the Spiritual Martial Realm, he had easily blocked the attack from several people. He was at least as powerful as himself.
Only a few people could block their joint shot after they gave a hurried shot and the attack power was not strong.
Besides, now he could only give half of his force as he was seriously wounded. So, he might not defeat Su Mo.
Cao Yuan was waiting for several people behind him. They could easily catch Su Mo if they did it together.
"Cao Yuan, leave your Demonic Cores before you go!"
Su Mo opened his eyes to take a glance at Cao Yuan.
"What?"
Stunned for a moment, Cao Yuan smiled in anger. "Did I hear wrong? A trash of a half step to the Spiritual Martial Realm actually wants to snatch my Demonic Cores? Ridiculous."
Cao Yuan laughed as if he had just heard a joke.
As one of the five geniuses in the new disciples of Gale Island and a martial artist of the Spiritual Martial Realm, he was not afraid of Su Mo at all.
"What? Won't you?"
Su Mo smirked and smiled scornfully.
"Hmm! You want me to give up my Demonic Cores? Impossible!"
Cao Yuan sneered but immediately realized that if Su Mo snatched his Demonic Cores and left quickly, he would not be able to stop him. He was extremely wounded.
But in order to hold Su Mo down and play for time, Cao Yuan said with a smile, "However, I have a lot of Demonic Cores. If you want, I can sell some to you."
"Hand over your Demonic Cores in three breaths or you die!" Su Mo said indifferently with a cold gaze.
He stood up, wasting no time.
"You… Damn, you want my Demonic Cores? Show me your ability."
Cao Yuan was furious. As a genius with a Rank 8 Human Class Martial Soul, he had never been despised like that. Without a word, he sliced Su Mo with his long saber.
Suddenly, a 10-meter giant Sword Qi slashed toward Su Mo.
Whoosh!
There was a flash of white light, then the Sword Qi was split into two.
Phew!
The next moment, an icy cold light was pointing at Cao Yuan's throat.
Gulp!
Feeling the cold blade on his throat, Cao Yuan stood stiffly. He could not help swallowing.
"You still have one breath."
Su Mo grinned. But that smile was terrifying in Cao Yuan's eyes.
"I'll hand… hand over my Demonic Cores!"
Cao Yuan hurriedly cried, with a pale face, and his eyes full of fear.
Su Mo's strength was far beyond his expectation.
He quickly handed his storage pouch over to Su Mo.
"F*ck off!" Su Mo said coldly.
He flipped the ridge of his sword to hit Cao Yuan's head. Cao Yuan staggered and almost fell down.
"Su Mo, you better watch out!"
Gnashing his teeth in anger, Cao Yuan hurriedly escaped with hate rising in his heart.
Su Mo had not just taken his Demonic Cores away; he had even robbed him of his storage pouch.
Watching Cao Yuan run off, Su Mo put the pouch into his storage ring. If Cao Yuan had directly handed him his Demonic Cores, Su Mo would not have taken his other items. However, he had not cooperated, so Su Mo robbed him blind.
He looked into the demon cave as footsteps sounded again. It meant that someone was coming out.
However, this time there was more than one person as the footsteps were noisy.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The next moment, a group of figures swept out from the demon cave.
There were nine of them in total, including Wu Kui and Yan Qi and they all looked pale and flustered.
When they saw Su Mo standing in front of them, the raging killing desire that had been surging in their hearts almost drowned him.
They had been busy getting the Empty Spirit Fruits for a long time with many casualties, but they had not expected that Su Mo would get the final benefit. How could they not be angry?!
"Su Mo, hand over the Empty Spirit Fruits, or die!" Yan Qi shouted.
He rushed quickly towards Su Mo, his face full of killing desire.
"Su Mo, you can't get away!"
Wu Kui, Feng Zilan and the others arrived one after another and quickly besieged Su Mo.
Su Mo blinked and smiled. "Did I say I would flee?"
"Su Mo, no more nonsense. I'm telling you clearly. You're going to die whether you hand over the Empty Spirit Fruits or not."
With a cold expression and eyes full of cruelty, Wu Kui sneered. "I'll tear your skin and tendons, and I'll torture you to death."
"Haha! Even tearing his skins and tendons would be showing mercy on him!"
Feng Zilan smiled. Her eyes had a vicious glint.
It was difficult to imagine a woman could actually be so cruel.
"Guys? How do we allocate the Empty Spirit Fruits after killing him?" a disciple of the Spiritual Martial Realm asked.
"He picked up a total of nine Empty Spirit Fruits, but he certainly gave some to Luo Qianfan. Only after killing him we'll know how many fruits he's left," Feng Zilan nodded and said.
"He may have four or five, and we…" Yan Qi said, but then he was interrupted by Su Mo.
Hearing their conversation, Su Mo laughed. Were they thinking that he was the fish on the chopping block? They had not even started fighting yet, but they were already discussing how to distribute the spoils!
"How could they be so confident!"
"Are you done talking?"
Su Mo sneered and said, "Don't you wonder why I am here waiting for you?"
"Huh?"
They were all in a daze and felt puzzled.
He was right! Why was he here waiting for them? Waiting to give them the Empty Spirit Fruits? Of course not!
"Hmm! Su Mo, why you stayed here."
Yan Qi laughed disdainfully and proudly said, "No matter what tricks you play, you can't escape today."
Yan Qi was very confident. Although they were injured, they could fight with a martial artist at Lv 2 Spiritual Martial Realm by jointly working with their full power, never mind Su Mo.
"Haha, because I'm waiting for you."
Su Mo said with a smile, "I'm waiting for you to give me your storage pouches."
"What?"
They were stunned and surprised by what Su Mo said. It appeared that he was going to snatch their storage pouches.
They had a strange feeling.
A martial artist half a step to the Spiritual Martial Realm was threatening to rob several martial artists of the Spiritual Martial Realm!
Whoosh!
Just then, Su Mo, who was smiling, suddenly launched an attack.
