When he finished speaking, the boy frowned. Su Ming was a guest he had invited, and since he had invited him, he did not intend to cause any discord. Instead, he had his own plans, and no matter what those plans were, the intention to befriend Su Ming was mostly contained within them.
He wanted to befriend Su Ming. Once he reached his level of cultivation, there should have been nothing for him to care about, but for some unknown reason, he would often feel his heart pounding in fear, as if something major was about to happen. As time passed and the disaster of the aeon was about to arrive, that feeling became stronger. When he saw Su Ming just then, he could tell at first glance that Su Ming was not from this Expanse Cosmos, and for some unknown reason, the desire to befriend him rose in his heart.
He could not see through Su Ming's level of cultivation, but he could sense that it was not any weaker than his.
At that moment, he frowned. The pupils of the purple-robed old man shrank slightly, but he did not speak. As for the young man in white, a brilliant light immediately shone in his eyes, and no one else could tell what he was thinking.
Su Ming's gaze landed on the withered, corpse-like figure. The people in the area were either silent or attentive. They were all tacitly agreeing to the test. Since the boy was the master of the place, he seemed to be slightly displeased, and by the looks of it, he did not seem to be putting on an act.
Su Ming saw all of this, and he naturally understood that the withered tree would not do this for no reason. It was clearly a test, or rather, he wanted to test his level of cultivation.
"Do you dare say that again?" Su Ming asked faintly. There was not a hint of anger in his voice, as if he was speaking casually to a friend. In fact, even the purple-robed old man and the young man in white could not sense the terrifying mighty pressure in his words.
Even the boy had wanted to speak, but when he heard Su Ming's words, he continued frowning, but did not say anything else.
"Didn't you hear me? I like to drink blood …" A faint glint appeared in the eyes of the corpse-like withered tree. As he cackled, he spoke. When he said those words, Su Ming suddenly lifted his head, lifted his right hand at lightning speed, and seized the air.
Since the corpse had dared to test Su Ming, it was only natural that he was confident in his level of cultivation. Since he still dared to speak even after Su Ming spoke, it was clear that he was prepared for everything. But even so, at the instant Su Ming lifted his right hand and seized the air, a chill ran down his spine. All his divine abilities … seemed to have disappeared from his ears.
All of this happened so quickly that in the blink of an eye, a shrill scream of pain tumbled out of the corpse's mouth. His head and body were instantly torn apart. Once Su Ming seized the head in his hand, he squeezed it lightly with a calm expression. Immediately, a trickle of blood dripped down from the wound and fell into the cup before Su Ming.
There wasn't much blood in it, only half a cup. However, this scene shocked everyone present, causing the entire place to instantly fall silent …
'This person … might seem gentle, but in truth, his ruthlessness and ruthlessness are the complete opposite of his appearance!' The pupils of the purple-robed old man shrank. The ruthlessness of Su Ming's actions caused his heart to tremble.
It was especially so when the scene of Su Ming attacking echoed in the purple-robed old man's heart. He realized that even he would definitely not be able to avoid that hand that came to seize him!
More importantly, Ku Mu's actions just now were incredibly strange. He did not show any signs of fighting back. The purple-robed old man did not believe that he did not want to fight back. It was clear that Su Ming had suppressed his level of cultivation for some unknown reason.
The brilliant light in the eyes of the young man in white instantly disappeared, replaced by a hint of shock. What he paid attention to was not Ku Mu's level of cultivation, neither was it Su Ming's ruthlessness, but the hand Su Ming had lifted.
Others might not have paid any attention to the speed at which he lifted his hand, but as a Sword Immortal, he was most skilled in speed. Yet during that instant just now, he could only see that while Su Ming might have seemed normal when he lifted his hand, in truth, he had formed ninety-seven seals.
'I can only see ninety-seven seals, but during that instant just now, he formed at least hundreds of seals. This sort of person …' The expression of the young man in white changed swiftly, and the wariness in his heart reached its peak.
As for the boy, as the master of this place, his shock was much greater than that of the others. The cave abode was a manifestation of his real body. In truth, his current appearance was also fake. His real self … was the gigantic ball of flesh Su Ming had seen previously.
It was a powerful life that had appeared in one of the aeons, and it was equivalent to the Five-Faced Beast Deity. However, it was smarter than the Five-Faced Beast Deity and hid itself. It transformed into a body, did not act arrogantly, and neither did it kill. Instead, it lived through the disaster of that aeon with a low profile.
That was why he could clearly see that Ku Mu had been unable to fight back during that instant just now. It was because his body had been surrounded by the power of time. Countless years had flowed through his body in an instant, turning him back to the era when he was still a mortal. However, everything had happened too quickly, which was why it was difficult for others to notice it. In fact, even Ku Mu himself had not noticed it.
'This person … is so strong!' This was the only thought that appeared in the boy's mind as his breathing quickened.
If even the bystanders were in such a state, then it was even more so for the headless corpse. He staggered a few steps back, then shrank and instantly turned into fog. He seemed to have regrouped in the fog, and when he reappeared, his body had shrunk slightly, but a new head had appeared. Shock and disbelief appeared on his face. He could only watch helplessly as Su Ming lifted the head and dripped a drop of his precious Origin Blood into the wine cup.
In the silence around him, the head in Su Ming's hand withered even more until it turned into fog with a bang. It disappeared in the midst of Ku Mu's heartache.
Su Ming's expression remained the same. Not a hint of anger could be seen on his face. He picked up the pot of wine by his side and poured some wine into the wine cup, fusing it with the blood. When the cup was full, he put down the pot of wine and picked up the wine cup. Under the shock of the four people around him, he drank the blood in the cup.
"As expected of a life that loves to eat flesh and blood. When your blood fuses with this wine, the taste is much better than before … It's a pity that there's only one cup. I haven't had my fill yet." Su Ming smiled faintly. When he put down the wine cup, he lifted his right hand, and with an indifferent expression, he seized the air in the direction of the corpse again.
The corpse let out a terrified roar … and his body shuddered. His head split from his body for the second time and charged towards Su Ming. Once Su Ming caught it, he continued letting the blood drip down. This time, the amount of blood was three-tenths of what was in the cup.
'Domineering!' This was the only feeling the purple-robed old man had towards Su Ming at that moment. His domineering attitude shocked him.
'Ruthless!' This was the most direct feeling the white-robed young man had towards Su Ming. He could see that Su Ming was someone who would definitely seek revenge for the smallest grievance, and he was also someone who would change his moods in an erratic manner.
"Fellow Daoist Su …" The boy hesitated for a moment before he sighed in his heart. He cast a glance at Ku Mu, whose body had turned into fog once again. When his body reappeared, his expression was clearly dispirited. He was even trembling, and there was great fear and despair in his eyes. The boy had to speak, because no matter what, Ku Mu was still a fellow Daoist he had invited.
The second head of Ku Mu in Su Ming's hand dissipated at that moment. He poured wine for himself again, picked up the wine cup, and drank it in one gulp. Once he savored the taste, he looked at the boy.
"Since you have spoken, fellow Daoist Ban Bu Zi … I might have intended to bring this blood wine with me and have my friends and family taste it when I return home, but … oh well, fill this cup up again, and I will forgive you for being disrespectful today." Su Ming flicked his right hand, and the wine cup immediately flew up to land in front of Ku Mu.
It did not matter whether it was the boy, the purple-robed old man, or the white-robed young man, all three of them were outstanding people in this Expanse Cosmos. However, at that moment, none of them doubted that Su Ming truly intended to take Ku Mu away and drink blood wine as he had said.
It could be said that at that moment, Su Ming looked as if he was wearing a human's skin in their eyes. There was a malicious aura that they could not sense, but the three of them could sense. It spread out in an incredibly thick manner from Su Ming's words, his actions, and even his indifferent expression.
Sometimes, the things that could not be seen were the scariest. The malicious aura that could not be seen was even more terrifying. It was just like how only evil people would be afraid of them.
Ku Mu was silent. His expression was twisted, but he could not hide the fear in his eyes. He sensed the threat of death from Su Ming, which was something he had rarely sensed. This sort of death was something he had not experienced for a long, long time. It reminded him of the time when his aeon had not been destroyed. When he was still weak, he felt as if he had seen a powerful warrior.
He gritted his teeth and lifted his right hand. With a swing of his arm, drops of blood immediately fell. Each drop made his heart clench in pain. Each drop was the essence of life he had gathered in his body after devouring a large amount of flesh and blood during the disaster of countless aeons.
The boy and the other two did not say a word. When the wine cup was completely filled, Ku Mu laughed brokenly. He took a few steps back and wrapped his fist in his palm towards the crowd.
"I was reckless today. I will take my leave first. Fellow Daoists, farewell." Once he finished speaking, he was about to leave when Su Ming spoke faintly.
"Did I say you can leave?"
"You!" Madness appeared in Ku Mu's eyes, but he instantly forced it down.
"You can leave now."
No resentment could be seen on Ku Mu's face, but all those who understood him knew that his resentment was definitely deep in his heart, and the more he endured it, the deeper it would grow, until the day it would explode out of him.
Ku Mu turned into a long arc and instantly flew out of the cave abode. He charged into the sky and stepped into the galaxy. His expression twisted, and a ferocious look appeared on his face. He turned his head around and glared at the planet behind him.
"I, Ku Mu, swear that one day, I will devour all your family and friends to wash away the humiliation I suffered today!"
"Today, there are two PSP handheld games. The lucky readers are Destiny and Yao Zhi. Since they share the same name, the replies in the prestige section will be the same.
"Congratulations. In truth, I'm very envious of you. I like PSP a lot … Why don't you give me one as well?
"In the next chapter, the grand prize that will surpass PSP will appear. It's an iPad, which is what I love to take pictures of! "I haven't chosen yet. I'm going to upload it after I'm done writing. There's still a chance, so I have to seize it.
