Chapter 54: Courting their own death
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
They dumped the wolf pack behind. A moment later, they came to a concealed meadow.
“Hey, you two. There are three strains of Jadeglow Grass, so each of us can get one,” Su Mo said, looking at the two youths with a smile.
It was the first time he was able to look at the two youths clearly. Their skinny faces and long, narrow eyes gave off an air of gloom.
“Ho ho, thank you, Junior Brother. Thanks for picking the Jadeglow Grass for us.”
The two looked at each other. The one in yellow gave a strange smile.
“Huh?”
Su Mo raised his eyebrows, then squinted. “Picking the Jadeglow Grass for you? What do you mean?”
They laughed coldly and blocked Su Mo in front and behind.
“You! Such a small fry only at Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm! How dare you want to share the Jadeglow Grass with us! Leave the Jadeglow Grass and get out!” the youth in black shouted coldly, sneering.
“You couldn’t have gotten the Jadeglow Grass blades without me. Now, you dare to monopolize them?”
Su Mo darkened his face.
He did not expect that the two were so greedy that they could suddenly turn hostile over Jadeglow Grass.
Shaking his head, the one in black said in a low voice, “Because of your help, we could spare your life. Now leave the Jadeglow Grass immediately and get out!”
“Ho, interesting! Due to my help, you spare my life? How generous you are!”
Su Mo scoffed, with cold light flashing in his eyes.
Noticing that Su Mo did not appreciate their kindness, the other youth said, “Brother, save your words! Just kill him.”
“Hey, boy! This is your last chance! Give us the Jadeglow Grass or die!”
His face suddenly turned ferocious.
Su Mo shook his head with killing desire in his eyes and said, “You’re rendering me a chance? What a shame! There is no chance for you two!”

The two looked at Su Mo in amazement and asked, “What do you mean, boy?”
“I mean, both of you’ll die,” Su Mo said indifferently.
“We’ll die? Are you insane?”
The youth in black sneered and shouted, “Brother, kill him!”
“Go to hell!”
The youth in yellow laughed cruelly and attacked Su Mo with a palm.
“You’re courting death!”
With a stony face, Su Mo did not panic at all. He punched against the palm. The force of ninefold fist spurted out immediately.
He gave full force to this fist.
As the first martial arts technique Su Mo had cultivated, Ninefold Ocean Wave Fist was only a Medium Lv 1 fistplay, but powerful enough.
Due to its moderate level, it was not difficult. Although Su Mo had not cultivated too much in the past month, he had achieved the Completion Realm.
Boom!
When Su Mo’s fist hit his palm, the youth’s whole body shook. Bleeding everywhere, he screamed and was blown away. He had already died when he fell onto the ground.
His arms were broken to pieces by Su Mo’s insane and violent force.
His internal organs were shattered to meat puree.
“Brother?”
The youth in black was shocked. He stared at Su Mo in disbelief. Alarmed, he asked, “Are… aren’t you at Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm? Are you in the Spiritual Martial Realm?”
In his opinion, only a martial artist in the Spiritual Martial Realm could kill his brother with one fist.
After killing the youth in yellow with one fist, Su Mo turned to the youth in black.
“I don’t want the Jadeglow Grass anymore. I’m leaving, now,” said the youth in black.
His face had changed, and he was backing away.
“I have a question. How did you find me when I was hidden outside the valley?”
Su Mo asked as the question had suddenly come to him.
“My Martial Soul is Clairaudient Beast with super hearing, and I can hear everything within two miles, even the sound of a fly shaking its wings.”

The youth in black asked, “Can I leave now?”
“I see!”
Su Mo nodded stealthily. There were a great variety of Martial Souls. No one should be underestimated. Su Mo looked at the youth and scoffed, “I said there was no chance left for you. You were meant to die since you planned to monopolize the Jadeglow Grass.”
If they had not been reckless with greed to possess the Jadeglow Grass, they would have remained alive.
Without another word, Su Mo’s figure turned into a residual shadow and rushed out.
The youth in black was frightened and desperate. He tried to turn around and run away but was caught instantly and killed with one fist.
He did not even get a chance to call for help from elders of the Sect.
Before his death, there existed only endless repentance in his mind.
If they had not been avid to keep the Jadeglow Grass, they would not have died.
The two had just joined Gale Island with a promising future where they could ride on the crest of success. But now they had fallen down into the abyss.
They died and all disappeared in a flash.
“How weak they are!”
Su Mo shook his head. The martial artists at Lv 9 Qi Cultivation Realm could not take one fist from him. Maybe only the martial artists in the Spiritual Martial Realm could be his opponents.
“Could their blood essence at Lv 9 Qi Cultivation Realm help me break through my cultivation?”
Su Mo sat cross-legged on the ground and released his Devouring Martial Spirit. The inky vortex was hanging behind him and their blood essence turned into blood ray, melting into the vortex.
He mercilessly swallowed their Martial Souls, both at Rank 7 Human Class.
“Sure enough, the Blood Qi of the martial artists at Lv 9 Qi Cultivation Realm is powerful.”
Su Mo’s whole body shook once the Blood Qi entered his body. Their Blood Qi in the blood essence was so tremendous, like great rivers running through Su Mo’s meridians.
Su Mo heightened his focus and made great efforts to cultivate it.
The tremendous Blood Qi was refined into genuine Qi and finally mingled into Su Mo’s elixir field.
Within 15 minutes, the genuine Qi in Su Mo’s elixir field broke through the limit and the bottleneck of cultivation.
Boom!
Su Mo’s elixir field expanded rapidly. His whole elixir field was full of the genuine Qi which was exponentially increased.
A spirit much higher than Lv 8 Qi Cultivation Realm blasted up from Su Mo’s body with a loud crash.
Lv 9 Qi Cultivation Realm!
After a short while, Su Mo cultivated all the Blood Qi and stood up with brightness shining in his eyes.
“Ha ha! With my current strength, none of the new disciples could be my opponent!”
Great joy winged Su Mo’s spirit.
He ferreted out two storage pouches from the two mummies.
Normal martial artists of the Qi Cultivation Realm could not afford storage rings. Usually, they used storage pouches.
In their storage pouches, there were more than 150kg of gold, over 30 Demonic Cores, three scrolls as well as some clothes.
Among them, over 20 Demonic Cores were above Lv 7 of the Qi Cultivation Realm.
Su Mo took out the three scrolls and glanced through them. They were martial arts techniques all above Upper Lv 1. Although of no big use for himself, he could exchange for some contribution points with the Sect.
Packing up the storage pouches, Su Mo then raised his head, looking deeply into the mountain and forests.
“The Qingyuan Trial Test only lasts for three days. Don’t waste it. Just kill!”
Su Mo’s killing desire was extremely strong. At this moment, he seemed to come back to his previous life where he was the king and would kill anyone standing in his way.
He turned around and returned.
He would not let the group of Ironteeth Wolves get away.

Braza the Architect - Magical Crafter, Builder, and Adventurer!
This is the story of an older man who lived a hard but full life, being reincarnated into a fantasy world as a human-lizard hybrid. The new world is violent, magic is real, a game-like development system crushes physics and natural law under its ambivalent thumb, and myth and legend don't just meet, they chase you down to eat you.Follow Braza as he tries to make a very different life for himself in a familiar but ultimately alien world. In this story the protaginist will not just be a muscle bound monster. He is not a proper hero, willing to sacrifice himself for the good of a stranger, but neither is he a maniacal villain. He is trying to survive, and he is trying to give himself and those he deems himself responsible for a seat at the table of the"goodly", the "civilized" races. He is trying to create a secure home for his people, to arrange beneficial trade agreements, explore ancient ruins, decipher ancient runes, push the boundaries of magic to create a better life for everyone around him, to learn about the history of the world and the multiverse, and ultimately attempt to become powerful enough to take on a being that even the gods themselves fear. This is my first story and it blends many different elements and styles. It's a bit darker than most of what I have read on Royal Road, but even with that, I hope you give it a try, and I hope you like it!

Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.
