“Wu Shan, you are greedy!” Quan Ruhai said as he squinted his eyes. Wu Shan was covetous and that provoked the people. Although he had obtained 2,999 Dosu Fruits, he had no intention of giving away any of them.
“The mighty shall keep the treasures!” Su Mo replied with a smile.
“alright! I shall defeat you and make you hand over the Dosu Fruit to me,” Quan Ruhai said.
“Go ahead!”
Su Mo lifted the sword in his hand and pointed it at Quan Ruhai, looking indifferent. Since Quan Ruhai wanted to challenge him, he would not show him any mercy.
The minute Quan Ruhai took to the field, the two of them were at opposing ends.
“Sun Dharmakaya!”
Quan Ruhai shouted. White light burst from his body, making him look solemn and sacred. He was like a small blazing sun.
‘That was the power of the Sun Rule. It formed the mighty Sun Dharmakaya, which provided Quan Ruhai with great defensive power as well as an offensive attacking force.
It was the Sun Rule that gave Quan Ruhai the confidence in defeating Su Mo.
“among the few hundred branches in the neighboring area, Quan Ruhai’s strength is within the top 30 rankings among the disciples under the Supreme Being Realm. He should have no problem defeating Wu Shan.”
“Logically speaking, he should be able to do so!”
“However, we are clueless about Wu Shan’s actual combat strength!”
“[ think Quan Ruhai has a higher chance of winning the fight. It’s not absolute, though!”
The people started to whisper amongst themselves. Apparently, they had more confidence in Quan Ruhai.
Ding Yu and Xu Wan could not be compared with Quan Ruhua as Quan Ruhai was Reverend Tian Hua’s disciple and he possessed great talent. Moreover, he was well-known in the surrounding branches.
Among the 100,000 disciples, other than the Supreme Beings and Ge Li, basically, none of the disciples below the Supreme Being Realm had the guts to brag that they could defeat Quan Ruhai.
Thus, Ding Yu and Xu Wan were in no way compared to Quan Ruhai.
“Not bad!”
‘When Su Mo saw Quan Ruhai displaying the power of the Sun Rule, he was impressed. In fact, Su Mo had seen Quan Ruhai displaying his skill at the sparring session in Reverend Tian Hua’s birthday banquet.
Thus, Su Mo was familiar with it.
Quan Ruhai’s combat strength was mighty after he had displayed the Sun Dharmakaya. His defense and attacks were forceful and not many people were matched for him.
Whoosh!
Ina flash, Quan Ruhai whooshed toward Su Mo, and the scorching divine light from his body was imposing.
It was like the terrifying power of flame as it burnt the surrounding space.
“Wu Shan, take one blow from me!”
Quan Ruhai shouted. Before he got near Su Mo, he had thrown out a punch.
Rumble!
A huge white Fist Force crushed through the sky like a hill to attack Su Mo.
The blow was overbearing and the Fist Force was dazzling and petrifying.
“You only have one opportunity!”
Su Mo threw out a blow at the same time with a calm look. He wielded his sword and vast Chaotic Sword Qi shot out.
That blow was mighty. Su Mo had not only activated the power of his Primordial Spirit, he had activated the Rules of the Flames as well.
The power of the fire properties circled above the mighty Chaotic Sword Qi and its power was immense.
Boom!
‘The Sword Qi and the Fist Force collided and shook the starry sky. The mighty Fist Force fell to pieces instantly.
Although the power of the Sword Qi had dwindled, it continued at great speed as it went on to attack Quan Ruhai.
Quan Ruhai kept a straight face in the face of the attack. He merely lifted his arm to fend off the blow.
Pom!
The Sword Qi blasted him with a bang. Quan Ruhai managed to catch his balance after he was thrown back by more than 300 meters.
Everybody was astounded by the blow. It was apparent that Wu Shan possessed greater strength than Quan Ruhai.
However, that merely highlighted the fact that the attack was powerful. It was still uncertain whether or not Wu Shan could defeat Quan Ruhai.
“Wu Shan, you are indeed powerful. However, you can’t break through my Sun Dharmakaya!” Quan Ruhai said confidently. However, he was secretly amazed by Wu Shan’s power.
The strength that Wu Shan had displayed in the earlier blow was mighty. It had way surpassed the blow that Wu Shan had used to defeat Xu Wan and it had way surpassed his as well!
What does it mean?
It meant that Wu Shan had been reserving his strength. He had not fully displayed his power.
“Eh?” Su Mo was astonished. The blow that he had thrown out earlier should have been able to defeat Quan Ruhai. However, Quan Ruhai had managed to fend it off and remain unscathed.
Is that another type of Domain?
Su Mo covered Quan Ruhai with his senses and noticed that the light that had emitted from the Sun Dharmakaya formed a type of Domain that could drastically weaken the power of all attacks.
Thus, the power of the blow that Su Mo had thrown out earlier had been diminished by half. That was the reason the attack had not broken through Quan Ruhai’s Sun Dharmakaya.
“Great! I am impressed by you!” Su Mo commended Quan Ruhai. Ina flash, he flew toward Quan Ruhai.
Su Mo did not move at great speed. As he moved closer to Quan Ruhai, the sword power in his body surged further.
Quan Ruhai’s face turned exceedingly grave and that had never happened before.
He no longer had confidence in defeating Wu Shan and he was merely thinking of ways to come to a draw,
Ha!
Quan Ruhai shouted as he threw out a blow. He felt tremendous pressure as Su Mo was approaching him.
Quan Ruhai formed a hugging gesture in the air and the Power Source in his palms surged vigorously. In an instant, the Power Source formed a small Photosphere.
The Photosphere contained majestic Sun-based Power Source and the mighty Sun Rule. These had given the Photosphere a destructive aura.
‘When the light from the Photosphere shone on the ground, the surrounding space dissipated to reveal a huge Black Hole.
Swoosh!
Quan Ruhai thrust the Photosphere and it flew toward Su Mo at lightning speed.
That blow was mightier than the earlier blow had been. All the disciples had their gazes on the Photosphere and they were eager to find out whether Su Mo would be defeated by the blow.
However, the disciples had overestimated Quan Ruhai and underestimated Su Mo.
Su Mo moved at great speed toward Quan Ruhai and threw out a blow with his sword.
All of a sudden, a gigantic Chaotic Sword Shadow moved toward the dazzling Photosphere, targeting Quan Ruhai.
That was the Ultimate Sword Art!
The Sword Shadow was formidable, and the sword power was quick. It contained a terrifying sword aura that was unbeatable.
Rumble!
With a loud explosion, the Sword Shadow crushed the Photosphere and slashed at Quan Ruhai’s Sun Dharmakaya.
Ah!
Quan Ruhai cried out in pain. Blood splattered around the sky, and the dazzling light on Quan Ruhai’s body died off. He was thrown off like a dead dog.
Quan Ruhai was in a sorry state. His body had been slashed apart and even his internal organs had been smashed by the Sword Qi. His entire body was deformed.
The area went silent as everybody dropped their jaws and stared at Quan Ruhai with their eyes wide open.
Quan Ruhai was considered an expert among the disciples below the Supreme Being Realm in the neighboring branches. However, he had been badly beaten.
It was evident that Quan Ruhai was more powerful than Ding Yu and Xu Wan as he had taken on two blows from Wu Shan. However, he had paid a high price for taking on the two blows. He was more severely injured than Ding Yu and Xu Wan.
Ihave exerted too much strength! Su Mo sighed when he saw the state that Quan Ruhai was in. He had not intended it to turn out like that and he had merely wished to teach Quan Ruhai a lesson. However, since he had not managed to defeat Quan Ruhai with the first blow, he had exerted more strength
for the second blow.
“Wu Shan, you win!”
Quan Ruhai shouted angrily. His dilapidated body was covered with blood, and he left in a hurry as he walked past the crowd.
Although Quan Ruhai’s body was severely injured, it posed no threat to him as long as his Primordial Spirit remained unscathed.
That said, it would take Quan Ruhai a long period of time to regain his optimum strength.
“Next!” Su Mo said as he looked at the crowd. He did not feel a sense of achievement after he had defeated Quan Ruhai.
When Su Mo was a Rank 9 Lower True God, he already possessed the strength of a Supreme Being. Now that he had advanced to Rank 9 Middle True God Realm, it would not require much effort from him to defeat Quan Ruhai.
Su Mo’s voice resounded in the area. The disciples looked at one another and saw that those people who had wanted to rush to the fore earlier had gone silent.
Everybody was amazed by Wu Shan’s strength. He was not only powerful but his strength defied nature!
Many of them looked at the few Supreme Beings and some of them rested their gazes on Ge Li.
Out of the 100,000 disciples, only the few Supreme Beings and Ge Li had the ability to defeat Wu Shan.
“The Supreme Beings are welcome to challenge me!”
Su Mo said as he looked at the few Supreme Beings.
He had been taking note of those few disciples. They were merely Low-rank Supreme Beings and they posed no threat to him.
Su Mo believed that the few Low-rank Supreme Beings were not gifted geniuses as people of that level would not be present.
“Presumptuous!”
“He is so arrogant! He is merely a Rank 9 True God but he looks down on the Supreme Beings!”
“That is confidence! He has the ability of a Supreme Being!”
Many people started to whisper amongst themselves. Although they felt that Su Mo was arrogant, he had the right to be so. Strength was his confidence.
“We do not have to trouble the Supreme Beings!”
Suddenly, someone commented coldly. Ge Li, who was in a red robe, stepped forth.
The people who were standing in front of Ge Lie parted to one side to make way for him as they dared not block his way.
None of them dared to trifle with Ge Li.
They would have an opportunity to survive if they offended the ordinary Supreme Beings. However, if they were to offend Ge Li, they would be doomed.
