Chapter 298: Killing a Ninth-Grade Grandmaster with a Palm Strike

Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Killing a Ninth-Grade Grandmaster with a Palm Strike

"Pfft!"

Li Cangshan spat out blood in an instant, his whole body crashing towards the ground. However, as a Ninth-Grade Grandmaster, he was ultimately no pushover.

The very moment he was about to hit the ground, Li Cangshan reached out, slapping his palm on the ground and leveraging the force to rebound. In a flash, his foot swept out towards Su Luo’s position.

That kick exploded with Inner Strength, creating an arc-shaped force in the air that was like the sharpest of blades.

Nevertheless.

After that punch, Su Luo had already withdrawn.

"Qing Luo Sword!"

Summoning the Qing Luo Flying Sword, Su Luo immediately charged towards Li Cangshan.

Li Cangshan’s kick had missed, not injuring Su Luo, but now he was faced with the sneak attack of the ethereal flying sword, aiming directly at his brow.

This caused a sudden change in Li Cangshan’s expression.

He felt an imminent crisis.

"Boom!"

Fortunately, Li Cangshan’s movements were agile. Twisting his body with force in midair, he narrowly dodged the Qing Luo Sword, simultaneously sending out a palm strike with explosive Inner Strength, intent on shattering the flying sword.

As a Ninth-Grade Grandmaster.

Ordinary swords... couldn’t withstand his powerful Inner Strength and would be shattered in an instant.

But.

When he struck with his palm.

The Qing Luo Sword was merely knocked off course by the force, without any sign of damage.

This caused Li Cangshan’s pupils to shrink slightly.

What material was that tiny sword, no more than three inches long, made of? How could it withstand his power without the slightest damage?

Of course, this thought was only a fleeting one in Li Cangshan’s mind.

He immediately abandoned the flying sword and launched another punch towards Su Luo.

Only.

At this point.

Wang Pengshan had already arrived.

"Boom!"

Wang Pengshan also threw a punch, clashing with Li Cangshan.

For a moment.

Both Wang Pengshan and Li Cangshan were knocked back by the powerful force of their clash, landing on the ground and retreating several steps before regaining stability.

Wang Pengshan’s complexion was slightly pale.

But Li Cangshan...

"Pfft!"

He spat out another mouthful of blood mist, his complexion deathly pale, and in his eyes, there was a flash of shock and disbelief.

Wang Pengshan was astonished.

Am I really that strong?

Could a single punch have inflicted such severe injuries on Li Cangshan?

No.

It wasn’t him.

Wang Pengshan realized swiftly.

He was well aware that his own power from just now wasn’t enough to deal such grave injuries to Li Cangshan.

Therefore, there was only one possibility.

That was... Su Luo!

Wang Pengshan looked at Su Luo in shock.

Li Cangshan also looked towards Su Luo, his gaze filled with horror and disbelief.

"You... you..."

Li Cangshan pointed at Su Luo with an expression of unwillingness, but as soon as he began to speak, he couldn’t help but spray out another mouthful of blood mist.

"I said, coming to assassinate me would come at a price!"

Su Luo’s expression was cold as he walked over, reached out his hand, and in one gesture, three fine needles shot out from Li Cangshan’s body, falling back into his palm.

Those were magical treasures, the Blood Fiend Needles!

Su Luo knew all too well that even now, employing the Six Paths Fist, he could only take advantage of a surprise moment to inflict injury on Li Cangshan, a Ninth-Grade Grandmaster.

After all, the gap in strength lay there indisputable. Even though he had already achieved minor success in his cultivation of the Six Paths Fist, constrained by his own realm and strength, it was clearly impossible to do as the mysterious woman did—casually demolish a mountain with a single punch.

Even, he hadn’t managed to completely destroy Li Cangshan’s Protective Gang Qi.

Nonetheless, the power of the Six Paths Fist had caused Li Cangshan substantial injury.

The subsequent Qing Luo Flying Sword, Su Luo had anticipated Li Cangshan would dodge; hence the sword was not the actual killing move, but rather a distraction to capture Li Cangshan’s attention.

The real killing move was the imperceptible Blood Fiend Needle.

At the moment Li Cangshan dodged the Qing Luo Flying Sword, the Blood Fiend Needles had already penetrated his body, only he hadn’t noticed yet.

Until... Li Cangshan and Wang Pengshan’s punches collided.

Su Luo controlled the Blood Fiend Needle, and it burst forth instantaneously.

"It was indeed you!!!"

Li Cangshan’s face turned deathly pale, his lips bloodless, as he stared at the Blood Fiend Needle in Su Luo’s hand, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

"In your next life, be someone who keeps his word."

Su Luo’s form flickered, executing Phantom Step, appearing in front of Li Cangshan like a shift in form, and directly struck his head with a palm.

"Bang!"

With that single palm strike, Li Cangshan was directly killed.

He fell straight down, his eyes wide open, staring even in death!

"Dad."

"Grandpa."

Li Duan Mao, Li Jiangran, and the others, their expressions drastically changed. They had never expected that their attempt to intercept and kill Su Luo today would not only fail but also cost the old master his life.

Isn’t Su Luo just a Second-Grade Grandmaster?

Even if he could beat a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster... but the old master was clearly a Ninth-Grade Grandmaster!

A Ninth-Grade Grandmaster, that’s the highest realm among Grandmasters. Among them, one should be invincible. How could he die at Su Luo’s hands?

Li Duan Mao, Li Cangshan, and the others were filled with grief and fear at the same time.

"Mr. Wang, thank you for that punch."

After killing Li Cangshan, Su Luo turned his gaze towards Wang Pengshan and smiled faintly.

If it weren’t for Wang Pengshan’s punch clashing hard against Li Cangshan, causing his inner strength to surge violently and rebound, Su Luo’s Blood Fiend Needle might not have been so effective.

It was precisely Wang Pengshan’s punch that gave Su Luo the opportunity, allowing the Blood Fiend Needle to enter when Li Cangshan was channeling his Inner Strength, thus damaging his meridians.

That’s why Li Cangshan, even though a Ninth-Grade Grandmaster, ended up severely injured after clashing with Wang Pengshan, an Eighth Grade Grandmaster.

It also led to Li Cangshan’s temporary loss of combat power, unable to circulate his Inner Strength through his tendons and veins, only to watch Su Luo’s palm strike approaching without being able to dodge, and dying on the spot.

Facing Su Luo’s thanks,

Wang Pengshan was still not able to recover from the shock of Su Luo killing Li Cangshan.

Su Luo, he actually had the strength to kill the Ninth-Grade Grandmaster Li Cangshan?

And furthermore... their Wang Family’s greatest enemy Li Cangshan, just died like that?

All of this seemed so illusory.

It felt surreal.

Yet, the corpse of Li Cangshan and the frightened, tearful expressions of Li Duan Mao, Li Jiangran, and the others were all reminding him that everything had indeed happened.

"I... I..." Ultimately, Wang Pengshan managed to say, "It was all I was supposed to do."

Su Luo was their Wang Family’s distinguished guest; it was right for him to protect Su Luo.

"Congratulations, Mr. Wang. From now on, the Yiling District should be led by your Wang Family!" Su Luo smiled again.

With the death of Li Cangshan, a Ninth-Grade Grandmaster, Li Family’s strongest was now only Li Duan Mao, whose strength and capabilities were not up to par.

Clearly, he would be no match for Wang Pengshan.

From now on, it was inevitable that the Li Family would decline.

Wang Pengshan also realized this, feeling belated excitement. He immediately cupped his fists towards Su Luo: "Mr. Su, the Wang Family is your forever friend."

He was both excited and relieved. Fortunately, he had not been treacherous towards Su Luo; otherwise, the fate of the Li Family today might have been the fate of their Wang Family.

"Mr. Su... spare... spare our lives..."

As opposed to the excitement of Wang Pengshan and the others, Li Duan Mao, Li Jiangran, and others were utterly terrified. They feared that after Su Luo had killed Li Cangshan, he would wipe them all out next.

But,

Su Luo didn’t even bother to glance at them, simply turning to get into the car. The aftermath would naturally be handled by Wang Pengshan.

He now needed to return to Jiangbei.

...

On the way back,

Su Luo finally had a good sleep, fully recovering his energy.

By the time he arrived in Jiangbei, the sky had already darkened, night about to fall.

Su Luo didn’t hurry to find Cui Fengyi.

He went straight to Xia Yi’s home.

He wanted to give Xia Yi and Nian Nian a surprise.

"Where is everyone?"

However, when Su Luo arrived outside Xia Yi’s residence, he found that the house was pitch black as if no one was home.

His Divine Sense swept through and confirmed that indeed there was no one inside.

Su Luo waited in silence.

But even after a full two hours passed without anyone appearing, he simply gave up on the idea of surprising Xia Yi and Nian Nian and decided to call Xia Yi instead.

"Hello, the number you have dialed is switched off..."

What’s going on?

Su Luo frowned.

It’s so late; where could Xia Yi and Nian Nian have gone? And why are their phones switched off?
