Chapter 107: The Chief Pursues the Youngster. The Cautious Xiao Kuang and Su Mo's Terrifying Control Ability! (2)
Through the words of his son Xiao Chenyu, he learned about Su Mo's situation.
Judging that Su Mo was just an ordinary soul master with average talent and background, there was nothing to fear.
So, Xiao Kuang boldly prepared to avenge his son, Xiao Chenyu.
In the blink of an eye, it was nighttime.
The sun was setting, and the orange glow of the dusk clustered in the sky. The dim sunlight spread across the land, covering the entire city of Notting.
After spending the day in Notting City, Su Mo still took Xiao Wu to Tianshang Renjian, planning to have dinner there.
After dining at Tianshang Renjian,
When Su Mo and Xiao Wu left the restaurant and were about to return to the Tulip Hotel,
At the entrance of the Tianshang Renjian restaurant, Su Mo and Xiao Wu were intercepted by a group of people.
By that time, night had already fallen, the moon shone in the night sky, and stars sparkled.
Under the restaurant lights, along with the bright light of the moon and stars in the sky,
On the street not far from him, a middle-aged man with long hair and a solemn face, dressed in elegant robes, waited silently for Su Mo with several people, hands behind his back.
A cool breeze blew unknowingly, lifting the sleeves of the middle-aged man,
Giving him a dignified and authoritative aura.
"Are you... Su Mo?"
Seeing Su Mo approach with Xiao Wu, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his mouth and asked in a deep voice:
"Yes, it's him, dad! You must avenge me!"
On the side, seeing Su Mo again, for some reason, Xiao Chenyu's rage flared up once more, almost driving him mad—he only wanted revenge on Su Mo.
"Yes, I'm Su Mo. Who are you? This guy named Xiao said at noon that he would find someone to take revenge. Are you the one helping him?"
Facing Xiao Kuang and his group, Su Mo pretended to be serious and protected Xiao Wu. At the same time, he calmly asked:
"He is my son. From childhood to now, his mother and I have never laid a hand on him, but you beat him like this. You must give me an explanation,"
Xiao Kuang said in a calm voice.
"An explanation? I don't think I owe you one. As long as you know what happened, you should understand that it was your son's fault. I merely taught him a lesson and showed mercy."
"Of course, if you insist on protecting your son unreasonably and want revenge, then fine. I'll go all the way with you!"
Looking at Xiao Kuang, Su Mo also sneered.
"Good! You're quite brave. That's right, I'm here to avenge my son. The reason I chose to wait for you here is so you can experience how my son felt in front of all the diners of Tianshang Renjian."
"Since you said you'll go all the way, let me see how confident you are. Although we are all Soul Masters, the strength of each Soul Master differs!"
Seeing that Su Mo didn't back down, Xiao Kuang shouted gravely:
"White Wolf, Spirit Possession!"
After saying that, Xiao Kuang shouted and instantly summoned the white wolf spirit inherited by the Xiao family, preparing to enter spirit possession.
In an instant, a white light flashed, and behind Xiao Kuang, the shadow of a white wolf howled and merged into his body.
Once possessed by the white wolf spirit, Xiao Kuang's body immediately underwent the same transformation as Xiao Chenyu's.
His body enlarged, his muscles swelled, his eyes turned into green wolf pupils, white wolf fur grew on the backs of his hands, and sharp wolf claws, like daggers, extended from his ten fingers.
Furthermore, after spirit possession, three soul rings—white, yellow, and purple—rose slowly from Xiao Kuang's feet and circled him.
With the possession complete, Xiao Kuang suddenly opened his eyes and howled at the moon, then dashed toward Su Mo instantly.
"Xiao Wu, get back!"
Seeing Xiao Kuang's charge, Su Mo pretended to be shocked and angry, quickly telling Xiao Wu to step aside so he could deal with Xiao Kuang.
After Xiao Wu dodged, Su Mo immediately evaded and quickly summoned his martial spirit: the Life Tree Staff.
In an instant, the Life Tree Staff, which looked like an ordinary branch but was green like jade, appeared in Su Mo's hand.
Three soul rings—"yellow, yellow, purple"—suddenly emerged from Su Mo's feet and surrounded his body.
"What?!"
When Xiao Kuang saw that Su Mo's soul ring configuration was "yellow, yellow, purple" instead of "white, white, yellow" as his son Xiao Chenyu had said, his expression changed drastically.
Because a soul ring setup like that isn't just about the colors—it reflects background and resources.
If Su Mo's configuration were "white, white, yellow", he definitely had no backing.
But the superior combination of "yellow, yellow, purple" likely meant strong support!
Damn! What's going on? Was Chenyu too drunk and saw wrong, or did this guy lie to me on purpose to get revenge?
But he shouldn't have had the guts!
For a moment, Xiao Kuang was so angry he wanted to stop.
The ancestral teachings of the Xiao family had always emphasized caution—never provoke powerful forces in the Soul Master world, even small sects or minor soul master clans.
Because Xiao Kuang knew exactly how weak someone like him was in the grand scheme of the Soul Master world.
That's why he never wanted to offend a powerful soul force.
But unfortunately, after launching the attack, Su Mo gave him no chance to retreat.
That night, seeing Xiao Kuang surprised by his soul ring setup, Su Mo instantly read Xiao Kuang's thoughts.
This guy might be scared!
Because in the original story, Xiao Chenyu backed down just by thinking Tang San had a strong background because of his hundred-year soul ring.
This father and son might be the same!
But that didn't concern Su Mo!
In fact, with his strength, he had already spotted Xiao Kuang's presence before leaving Tianshang Renjian.
Before stepping out, Su Mo deliberately went to the restroom, summoned his Death Scythe spirit, and activated the fourth soul skill: Avici Hell!
He discovered that Xiao Kuang might not follow the "script".
So Su Mo directly used Avici Hell to influence Xiao Kuang's thoughts—
Making him shift from avoiding conflict to believing he had already provoked a strong enemy—and that the only way to survive was to kill Su Mo and silence him!
After that, Su Mo used the emotional control ability of the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel within him to rapidly amplify the darkness and anger in Xiao Kuang's heart, letting those emotions overwhelm his mind.
After doing all this in an instant, Su Mo immediately gripped the Life Tree Staff, treating it like a regular combat staff, and charged toward Xiao Kuang with a cold and furious shout.
Because according to the "script", Su Mo wasn't supposed to win now—he had to be crushed by Xiao Kuang, taking several hits but gritting his teeth for Xiao Wu's sake.
So in the fight,
Su Mo quickly adjusted and suppressed his power, becoming a true auxiliary Soul Master at the Soul Master level. He could only cry out and struggle to fight Xiao Kuang.
Even though Su Mo's soul ring configuration was better,
In terms of combat strength, he clearly couldn't match Xiao Kuang, and was defeated again and again. His white clothes were scratched, and blood soaked the wounds.
"Ugh..."
After being knocked down several times, Su Mo gritted his teeth, held his wounds, and struggled to support himself with the Life Tree Staff. He stood up, activated his soul skills, and began to heal.
But this wasn't a solution.
If you're weaker, constantly healing only leads to a slow death!
Meanwhile, seeing Su Mo get repeatedly beaten by Xiao Kuang, his clothes soaked in blood, Xiao Wu bit her lip. Her large black eyes turned slightly red, covered with mist.
Even though she was distressed and worried about Su Mo, Xiao Wu couldn't help, let alone stop the fight.
With her current strength, trying to help would only drag him down.
And if she admitted defeat, who knows what outrageous demands the enemy would make? Su Mo clearly wouldn't agree.
Otherwise, he would've surrendered already and wouldn't be fighting so hard.
Now, Xiao Wu could only trust him.
Meanwhile, seeing that Su Mo was no match for his father, Xiao Chenyu couldn't help getting excited.
But just then, sensing that it was the right moment, Su Mo activated the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel martial spirit within him and used his emotional control skill on Xiao Chenyu.
This time, under Su Mo's influence, the power of Lust, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, exploded instantly inside Xiao Chenyu.
Overwhelmed by lust, Xiao Chenyu couldn't help but shout enthusiastically at Su Mo:
"Kid, you're doomed! Just admit defeat! If you hand over that little loli you're protecting and let her be my bunny girl, I might let my father spare your life!"
