At that moment, he was feeling slightly regretful for causing this sort of trouble for the woman, and he was incredibly angry. Yet this was not the time for him to think too much about it. He had to kill or injure this person severely before he could reveal his origins and tribe.
He spun around and swept his right foot forward like a violent gust of wind. Immediately, a tumbling yellow ocean manifested to the west of him, bringing with it a large amount of yellow sand that surged into the sky.
"Fourth Ode to the Northern Sea!" Tie Mu let out a low growl, and as he spun around, he swept his left foot towards the north. Immediately after, a black ocean manifested in the sky to the north, and huge waves came crashing down.
At that moment, as Su Ming retreated, he lifted the spiked club in his hand. When his clone and Tie Mu attacked each other, Su Ming had swung the spiked club four times in the air, and each time he swung it, the area would increase by several times. After the fourth swing, the spiked club had become incredibly long, and its weight was so great that it had already reached the limit of what Su Ming's physical strength could withstand.
Su Ming's goal in this battle was to test just how much his combat abilities had reached, not to risk his life. That was why after the fourth swing, Su Ming no longer increased the weight of the spiked club, even though he had considered … just how much weight he could increase the spiked club he had obtained from the glacier many times in his heart.
As he swung it four times, a deafening buzzing sound came from the sky. Every single time the buzzing sound rang out, the crowd underneath would be shocked when they heard it. The instant Tie Mu's Ode to the Four Seas crashed into Su Ming's clone's Earthen Aura Azure Dragon and the First Transformation of the Nine Transformations Art, the spiked club in Su Ming's hand drew a gigantic fan in the sky. The light that covered the nine moons crashed into the illusory seawater and Tie Mu.
Booming sounds shook the sky and earth. The illusory seawater immediately collapsed. This collapse was caused by two types of power. One of them came from Su Ming's clone inside, and the other came from Su Ming's spiked club, which was outside the seawater, smashing down at the sky.
As the seawater collapsed, the sea formed by Su Ming's clone also exploded and fused with the seawater around him, dyeing the air in a faint crimson shade. At the same time, the clone swiftly retreated, and in a few breaths, he was about to return to Su Ming's real body.
Yet the moment Su Ming's clone retreated and warped, a furious roar came from the disappearing illusionary seawater before him. Tie Mu's body closed in on him in an instant, looking disheveled. His eyes were bloodshot, and at that moment, he spread open his right hand and seized Su Ming's clone at an incredible speed.
He grabbed the clone's neck, and just as Tie Mu was about to squeeze down with a ferocious expression, intending to crush Su Ming's puppet, suddenly, a muffled sound reverberated around Su Ming's clone, and it swiftly turned into a large amount of black fog that spread outwards.
That black fog turned out to be black beetles. In fact, at that moment, Tie Mu's right hand was also filled with black beetles. He did not even manage to catch the clone's real body. The real body was staring coldly at Tie Mu's empty grip, then swiftly retreated.
As the black beetles scattered, Tie Mu was momentarily stunned, and Su Ming's clone's appearance was clearly revealed before him. Once Tie Mu saw that dried up body and those gray eyes, for the first time, a drastic change appeared on his face. His pupils shrank, and disbelief and shock appeared within them.
"Ji Yun Hai! You're Ji Yun Hai! " Tie Mu's expression changed drastically. He had recognized the person with the gray eyes. It was Ji Yun Hai, who he had been friends with in the past!
It was especially so when he saw the black beetles pouncing on him from all directions, which made Tie Mu even more certain of his identity!
However, once he was certain that this person was Ji Yun Hai, a deep wave of wariness instantly rose in Tie Mu's heart. He came to a halt and looked towards Su Ming.
At that moment, Su Ming's right hand trembled in intense pain once he swung the club down. Most of his body was completely numb, and as he retreated swiftly, his face turned slightly pale.
The spiked club also shrank rapidly. Once Su Ming put it away, his clone also warped and returned to his side.
Tie Mu stared at Su Ming, and a huge storm raged in his heart. He could not imagine that a powerful Latter Shaman like Ji Yun Hai would be turned into a puppet by someone!
This sort of thing made Tie Mu instantly feel terrified towards Su Ming's arrival.
He sucked in a sharp breath, and with a jolt of his body, the black beetles pouncing on him were immediately forced several dozens of feet back. However, these insects were not afraid of death and rushed towards him once again.
'There's no mistaking it. These are Ji Yun Hai's Origin Shaman Insects … He … How could he have been turned into a puppet by someone?!' Tie Mu looked at Ji Yun Hai, who was standing beside Su Ming, and his face gradually turned pale.
'He has great treasures, he has Ji Yun Hai as a puppet, and he's a Soul Catcher himself. His divine abilities are also strange and unfathomable … This person … Who is he?!'
As Tie Mu's heart trembled, a loud uproar erupted from the crowd underneath. Even Nan Gong Hen's face was filled with disbelief.
"Ji Yun Hai! Senior Tie Mu said that the puppet is Ji Yun Hai!"
"Is he talking about the strongest Soul Catcher below the End Shaman, the Ji Yun Hai who disappeared for many years?!"
"This person actually turned Ji Yun Hai into a puppet? If he didn't personally refine him, then it'd be impossible for him to control him …"
"He might be at a disadvantage in this battle, but he's already incredibly powerful to be able to fight against a Latter Shaman to this extent!"
Nan Gong Hen was stunned for a long time before he eventually laughed wryly. His estimation of Su Ming had changed several times, and he originally thought that it would not change anymore, but by the looks of it now, he had still underestimated Su Ming by too much.
Tie Mu waved his arm in the sky, and once he scattered all the black beetles, he shifted his gaze away from Ji Yun Hai with great difficulty and looked towards Su Ming.
"I'll ask you one more time. Which tribe are you from?!" Tie Mu asked languidly.
"It's just a small tribe. You won't have heard of it, senior Tie Mu." Su Ming's answer was still the same. His face was calm, and at that moment, he was circulating his cultivation base in his body. His eyes were still burning with fighting spirit.
"You don't know what's good for you, you little brat. Even if you have Ji Yun Hai as your puppet, I only used a small portion of my power just now … I gave you a chance, but since you still won't tell me the truth, then I'll capture you today and let your seniors come and get you!" Tie Mu's thoughts had already changed. He was starting to become reluctant to kill Su Ming. He had a good plan in mind. If this person truly had a powerful background, then someone would definitely come to him within a short period of time.
If no one came, then it would mean that this person truly did not have a powerful background. If that was the case, then it would not be too late for Tie Mu to kill him.
"If that's the case, then I'll have to ask for your guidance, senior Tie Mu." Su Ming smiled faintly. A freezing glare shone in his eyes, and he waved his right arm. Immediately, the black fog around him grew thicker, and once it shrank, his Poison Corpse appeared!
The Poison Corpse's appearance and the presence he exuded clearly showed his original status - that of a Berserker in the initial stage of the Berserker Soul Realm!
There was no light in the Poison Corpse's eyes, but the aura on its body and the pitch-black color of its body, as well as the ripples that caused the surrounding air to distort after it released its poison power, not only shocked the surrounding crowd, it also caused Tie Mu to be stunned for a moment before his expression immediately changed!
As his expression changed, a wry smile appeared in Tie Mu's heart.
'Just where did this person come from? Forget about Ji Yun Hai, he also has a puppet in the Berserker Soul Realm, and it's clear that there's poison in that puppet … And this boy has too many tricks up his sleeves. By the looks of it, he must still have a lot of them that he hasn't used yet. Damn it, why did I run into a monster like this?!
'This isn't a Medial Shaman, this … This is going too far!' Tie Mu laughed wryly in his heart. If it was just Ji Yun Hai's puppet, then he would still have the confidence to fight with his full strength, but … with this Poison Corpse, which was clearly also an extraordinary one, even if he could win this battle, he would have to pay a price. It would have been fine if they were outside, but they had just entered the World of Nine Yin. Eastern Goosefoot Tribe's plan had yet to be carried out, and he could not afford to be injured.
Su Ming did indeed have some trump cards that he had yet to use. Forget about everything else, he had yet to use the Three Slashes of Wind Separation. As Su Ming's puppets appeared one after another in this battle, he discovered the difference between him and a Latter Shaman.
If he attacked alone, he would not be able to fight, but if his clone appeared, then he might be able to put up a fight. However, if he brought out his Poison Corpse as well, then he would be able to fight against a Latter Shaman in the initial stage, and he would not necessarily lose!
For the first time in the land of the Shamans, Su Ming felt himself becoming stronger. That feeling made him feel incredibly sentimental.
'Some of it is external power. I wonder when I'll be able to fight against a Latter Shaman without using my clone and puppets with my true power …'
Tie Mu hesitated for a moment before he let out a long sigh. Once he cast Su Ming a complicated look, he turned around and charged towards the ground without another word. He landed beside the woman who was already shocked by Su Ming's attacks, lifted his hand, and slapped her.
This slap caused the young woman to spit out a mouthful of blood. Her body fell to the side, and her cheeks puffed up. She lowered her head and did not dare to speak. From the moment she noticed that Mo Su was able to fight against the old man, she knew that she had caused trouble …
"Sir, you killed several of my people. I've already punished her, so this matter is over. If you still want to fight, then I'll gladly keep you company!" Tie Mu turned his head around and looked at Su Ming coldly.
"Senior, your power is great. I'm not your opponent. I've already used all my strength, but I'm still at a disadvantage. I wouldn't dare continue …" Su Ming smiled wryly and wrapped his fist in his palm towards the old man with a respectful look on his face.
When the old man saw Su Ming's demeanor and words, his expression softened a little. Su Ming might have fought against him, but his words were still polite. He was still a senior, and he even took care of his dignity before the crowd. His manner of knowing when to advance and when to retreat made Tie Mu unable to feel too much anger. Instead, he had a feeling that there was a high chance that one of his own people was the one who provoked Su Ming first.
Unknowingly, he had also gotten rid of the thought of searching for Su Ming after the matter was over. In fact, a hint of fondness towards him had even appeared within him.
His wariness towards Su Ming's various methods and his suspicions towards his identity caused that hint of fondness to spread through Tie Mu's heart. He cast Su Ming a profound look.
"Young people need to be driven when they do things. Since Eastern Goosefoot Tribe was the one who was being unreasonable, then I can understand why you attacked. You don't have to look down on yourself. We'll call this battle a draw!" Tie Mu's expression became much warmer. Once he finished speaking, he turned around and led his tribe members to support the boy and the woman before flying into the air and leaving. However, when they left, the boy's robes were already stained with yellow stains, and there was a stench of urine coming from them.
To the boy who was not even a Fledgling Shaman, the scene on that day was something he would never forget.
Once the people from Eastern Goosefoot Tribe left, the people around them looked at Su Ming. There was envy and respect in their eyes. No matter what, Su Ming's strength had already left a deep impression in everyone's eyes. In just a few days, the entire Shaman City would know about Su Ming and Tie Mu's battle.
He was in Beijing. Once he arrived, he did not rest and immediately started writing. He finally finished writing. The next chapter would be slightly later, around 7: 30 am.
Saturday morning, 9: 30 am at Beijing's Xi Dan Book Building. Sunday afternoon, 2: 30 pm at Shanghai Book City on Fu Zhou Road. Truth be told, he was worried that there would be an awkward silence … This was Er Gen's first time participating in a book signing event, and he was very nervous.
If there were any fellow Daoists in Beijing, they had to come and support him. Er Gen had obtained his monthly ticket, but he did not ask for anything from them. Right now, he was nervous, so he asked his fellow Daoists in Beijing and Shanghai to come and support him during the book signing event. Even if they didn't want to buy the book, they could come and support him. Don't leave me alone there and look at the empty space with a wry smile.
