Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 408 - 204: Li’s Soul

Someone opened a betting market over the Tianqu Sword event.

Su Mo was not surprised by this.

Uncertain outcomes always draw much attention.

Whenever such attention arises, numerous unexpected events tend to follow.

Setting up a betting market was common sense.

However, this event had divided the onlookers into three groups.

One group bet on Liu Suifeng winning, while another bet on Wan Cangxin.

Involving their vested interests, they were naturally highly concerned.

The last group did not participate; they were merely watching for entertainment.

If they bet on Liu Suifeng, they would wish for Wan Cangxin to perish sooner rather than later, today rather than tomorrow.

The reverse was also true.

Therefore, Liu Suifeng’s journey to Tianqu City became increasingly difficult.

The closer they got, the more people there were who wished for his death.

Su Mo wasn’t particularly worried about this but was surprised:

"This person behind the betting market surely has a lot of guts. Do you know who it is?"

"The identity of this major bookie is naturally not something ordinary people could know."

Wei Ziyi grinned and said: "But the one who could do such a thing may not dare to. Those who dare to do such things are rare to come by."

"The Dongcheng Seven Sects, or maybe the three families of the Demon Sect?"

Su Mo shook his head lightly: "They plan to make a huge profit from this event."

"It’s just common logic."

Wei Ziyi nodded: "However, something quite unexpected has happened in the midst of this."

"No need to tease any longer, get to the point."

Su Mo gave Wei Ziyi a sidelong glance.

Wei Ziyi grinned: "Wan Cangxin has appeared."

"Hm?"

Su Mo raised his eyebrows: "When?"

"It’s said that he encountered Liu Suifeng on the road."

Wei Ziyi continued: "At that time, Liu Suifeng was being ambushed. According to those talebearers, suddenly, a sword struck, and its Sword Qi stretched eighty thousand miles wide, sending those schemers crying for their fathers and mothers. Then, Wan Cangxin leaped forward, his sword glow sweeping away an entire mountain top.

"Seeing this, who would dare to linger?

"They fled instantly and vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Afterward, Liu Suifeng and Wan Cangxin exchanged their names and learned each other’s identities.

"It’s said that heroes appreciate other heroes, and from then on, they journeyed together toward Tianqu City."

"..."

Su Mo was stunned, Sword Qi stretching eighty thousand miles?

Where was it planning to cut from Dongcheng?

A single casual sword stroke capable of leveling a mountain top?

So this was another Sect Disciple?

Su Mo sighed: "Rumors in Jianghu, if you can believe one or two out of ten parts, that’s already not bad. There’s no need to talk more about such unfounded claims. But from what you’re saying, these two have joined forces?"

"That’s correct."

Wei Ziyi nodded: "However, it’s hard to say how far they will get.

"Liu Suifeng wants to challenge the Seven Great Sects to sword duels, but Wan Cangxin has no such intentions. I reckon that after traveling together for a while, Wan Cangxin will head to Tianqu City to wait."

Su Mo thoughtfully asked:

"When did these two meet?"

"It was said to be... about half a month ago?"

"Hmm."

Su Mo nodded: "Thanks, you’re no longer of use, go have your meal."

"Ptui!"

Wei Ziyi rolled her eyes at Su Mo, then turned and left.

Su Mo stroked his chin, mulling over the news he had just received.

With faint contemplation.

Some things aligned, yet others did not.

As he was thinking, he saw four girls carrying a soft sedan chair into the room.

Little Situ on the sedan was holding a basin full of freshly cooked large steamed buns.

Eating happily, one in each hand,

It seemed as if in the second half of his life, as long as he had these steamed buns, he would want for nothing else.

"Su, the Chief of the Escort, want one?"

Although Little Situ asked ’want one?’ in a questioning tone, the steamed bun had already flown over.

Su Mo caught it and was about to say that one should be careful with food while travelling,

but considering the other’s background, the words just didn’t come out.

Little Situ was by far the most knowledgeable about poison that he had encountered in Jianghu.

Shaking his head, he took a bite of the steamed bun: "The person should be waking up soon, right?"

"It should be soon."

Little Situ was also a bit puzzled: "Logically, he should have woken up three days ago, but he’s still sleeping till now. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"I suspect it has something to do with the martial arts he practices.

"The injuries in his body have recovered by now, but his Inner Strength keeps circulating back and forth within the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the Twelve Main Meridians.

"The path it takes is very different from any martial arts I know; it’s quite strange."

"Forget it."

Su Mo shook his head: "Since he can’t wake up for now, then..."

He had just begun to speak when suddenly, an overwhelming force burst forth.

Su Mo and Little Situ exchanged glances and immediately stood up to approach the room.

They then heard a loud noise as all the windows and doors of the room were blown open by a strong gust of wind.

The person wrapped in bandages sprung out, facing Su Mo and Little Situ.

With a raised hand, he threw a punch with a sharp edge as if enveloping wind and thunder.

The four girls, without a second thought, threw Little Situ’s soft sedan out.
