Everyone stared at Su Mo in disbelief as the Qi blood and Genuine Vitality that were lost through their wounds gathered toward him.

The crowd knew that this was Su Mo’s doing.

They were terrified by Su Mo’s weird power that could affect their Genuine Vitality and Qi blood.

“I won’t repeat this again. Hand over all of your storage rings. You have no say over this, and anyone who tries to escape will have no choice but die!” Su Mo said as he strode toward the crowd.

All the Qi blood and Genuine Vitality that gathered toward him were forced away by his aura.

The crowd looked grave. Each and every single one of them was a top-notch genius from their respective domains, yet now, they were forced into such a situation by a single young man.

The few geniuses at Lv 8 True Spirit Realm were even overwhelmed with grief. This was the first time that they had been oppressed by someone with a lower cultivation.

Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

Despite knowing Su Mo’s immense strength and weird power, there were some who wanted to try their luck.

Dozens of geniuses, mostly at Lv 7 and 8, including Lyu Tian and Jiang Xian, escaped rapidly.

“Since you ignored my warning, don’t blame me for this!” Su Mo yelled coldly as his devouring power shrouded all of them in an instant. The people that tried to escape froze instantly and were quickly greeted by streams of powerful sword Qi right after.

Flop! Flop! Flop!

Everyone that tried to escape fell to the ground and died instantly, including the geniuses at Lv 8 True Spirit Realm, since they were already injured.

Hiss!

The rest of the crowd gasped at Su Mo’s lethal attack. He was completely merciless!

Even the experts at Lv 7 and 8 were completely defenseless against his attack.

Su Mo shot a cold glance at the crowd and was satisfied to see them pale and s.h.i.+vering in fear.

He had to be merciless, or else no one would be afraid of him.

They would only hand over their storage rings if they were truly afraid of Su Mo. Although he could simply kill them all, Su Mo was unable to devour anymore blood Qi and Genuine Vitality at the moment. Hence, he did not want to kill these people who did not share a hatred history.

“You, you, and you, I’ll start from you guys!” Su Mo pointed at several people and flew toward them.

It was hard to make so many people surrender their storage rings without targetting a few individuals first. Since everyone was watching each other’s reactions, Su Mo decided to select a few targets.

“This…!”

Upon hearing Su Mo, the few of them hesitated with a bitter face.

“Do I have to do this again?” Su Mo’s face went black. He rose his sword high and stared at them with murderous intent written all over his face.

“I… I’m willing to hand over my storage ring!”

“Me too, please don’t kill me!”

“We’ll do it as well!”

They were terrified, and quickly agreed to Su Mo’s demand in fear of him killing them.

One by one, they gave Su Mo their storage rings.

After a quick look, Su Mo was pretty satisfied. Every storage ring contained an abundance of wealth that was almost equivalent to its previous owner’s entire fortune.

Afterward, Su Mo rushed the rest to hand over their storage rings in a similar fas.h.i.+on. No one else dared to disobey him and everyone handed over their storage rings with a bitter expression.

Soon, Su Mo had seized most of their storage rings, and the majority chose to leave. There were only a few that remained.

Finally, there were only four people left that had yet to surrender their storage rings. They were Ao Wushuang, Hong Qingtian, the ninth princess, and Chu Yunfeng.

Su Mo’s gaze turned toward them.

“Su… Su Mo, can’t you spare us?” Hong Qingtian asked with a troubled expression. Ao Wushuang was the same, with an unknown intention burning in his eyes.

The ninth princess was looking furious as she bit her lips tightly. She would rather die than hand over her storage ring voluntarily.

Su Mo frowned and glanced at the three of them, falling into a deep thought. The forces behind their backs were some of the strongest in Hong Domain. If he did mug them, they would likely hold a grudge against him.

Su Mo was unafraid that they would come after him. However, if they took revenge against Gale Island or the Sus, it would be a disaster. The only way of doing this was to destroy them completely so that they could not be resurrected outside.

After a moment of consideration, Su Mo decided to let them off. He could not be so rash, for he had to think of the Sus and Gale Island.

Moreover, their wealth would be nothing as compared to the geniuses’ from other domains.

“Nevermind! You guys are exempt!” Su Mo said and shook his head after a sigh.

The three of them were relieved to hear this. They were actually afraid that Su Mo would not let them off.

Even Chu Yunfeng, who was beside the ninth princess, was secretly relieved. However, Su Mo’s next sentence darkened his face again.

“You’re definitely not exempt. Hand me your storage ring!” Su Mo said indifferently as he looked at Chu Yunfeng.

“You…!” Chu Yunfeng looked grave as anger burned inside him. He was the ninth princess’ Senior Brother, but Su Mo was not going let him off despite sparing the other three!

But he dared not say no, because he did not stand a chance against Su Mo.

“Shut up! I’ll kill you if you don’t do as I say!” Su Mo said coldly. He was not going to show him any kindness.

Chu Yunfeng was embarra.s.sed. He secretly glanced at the ninth princess and felt the burning sense of shame on his face.

Su Mo had topped the List of Top 100 Talents of Hong Domain and that meant he defeated the ninth princess in the Top-100-talent Compet.i.tion. Chu Yunfeng was just bragging to her earlier on about how he would make Su Mo kneel down and apologize to her. Yet now, he was too scared to do a thing even though Su Mo was right before him.

Not only did he fail to keep his word, he was also forced to hand over his storage ring to Su Mo, in front of the woman he loved! Chu Yunfeng felt humiliated like never before.

This time, his dignity and his perfect image were completely thrashed by Su Mo, right before his beloved Junior Sister!

“Su Mo, just you wait! I would make you kneel before me and apologize if I get the chance!”

Chu Yunfeng yelled in his mind.

Despite so, he did not show a single sign of anger on his face.

Chu Yunfeng then removed his storage ring and gave it to Su Mo. He dared not refuse!

The ninth princess just glanced at him with an unknown emotion.

Meanwhile, Su Mo was clueless about Chu Yunfeng’s thoughts. After collecting his storage ring, Su Mo laughed softly and disappeared into the horizon, leaving the rest behind to stare at each other in silence.
