NOVPUBLi Zhengao hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and promised.
The Li Family certainly hated the Shi Family, but there was a huge gap in strength between them. Even with grievances, as long as the Shi Family stopped targeting the Li Family, they would rather choose to let go of their hatred. With insufficient power, this was the only way to ensure their long-term survival.
The burly elder looked troubled, "What you’re saying makes sense, but this matter is beyond my decision... We must wait for the Stone King to return, which could be as short as a few days or as long as half a month. Once the Stone King returns, everything is negotiable."
Su Changkong’s patience was wearing thin, and his eyes gradually turned icy, "I will ask you one more time... Are you sure you don’t know where Shi Jingtian is? Think carefully before you answer, for I detest people acting ignorant or lying in my presence!"
"I truly don’t know where the Stone King has gone." The burly elder hesitated only slightly before shaking his head firmly, indicating that he truly did not know the whereabouts of the Stone King.
"Good!"
A flash of cold light crossed Su Changkong’s eyes. Without saying another word, he reached out with one hand toward the burly elder’s shoulder.
Despite the considerable distance between them, Su Changkong remained stationary, yet to the burly elder’s horror, as Su Changkong extended his hand, the distance between them seemingly closed instantly, as if he was pulled right in front of Su Changkong out of thin air.
It was as if Su Changkong had reached out and pulled the entire space where the elder stood towards him, a feat that sent shivers down the spine.
And Su Changkong’s palm was already pressing down on the burly elder’s shoulder, gently pushing downward!
"Roar!"
The burly elder’s hair stood on end as he let out a thunderous roar that dispersed the ink-like white clouds in the sky of Literacy Paradise. His body turned into black rocky material, unleashing a formidable aura that surpassed the usual realm of the Innate, reaching the level of a Pseudo-Divine Skill Grandmaster, and among Grandmasters, he was considered to be exceptional.
The burly elder’s identity was extraordinary; he was the Second Elder of the Nei Clan within the millennium-old Shi Family, and his strength ranked among the top five in the entire family!
The burly elder unleashed his bloodline divine skills, trying to resist the pressure from Su Changkong’s push, but it was futile!
"Crack!"
Like the gap between an adult and an infant, Su Changkong’s casual press broke through the burly elder’s desperate resistance, which felt so powerless that the crushing force made his shoulder bones crack and his knees bend uncontrollably, bringing him to his knees, causing a dent in the ground.
The burly elder’s face turned red with strain, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could not budge the palm pressing on his shoulder.
"It’s... It’s too strong!"
Li Zhengao watched the scene with some shock. This burly elder was one of the great Grandmasters in the Shi Family, who had previously engaged with the Essence-endowed Li Song, and did not fall at a disadvantage for a while.
Yet in front of Su Changkong, Su Changkong subdued him with just one hand, pressing him to the ground unable to rise!
"Damn it!"
The guards of the Shi Family were both shocked and enraged, and the gray-clothed middle-aged man’s eyes flared with a cold gleam. He was the uncle of Shi Bupo and already bore a grudge against Su Changkong. Seeing Su Changkong suddenly make a move and subdue the burly elder, his Qi and Blood surged, and his body dashed forth like a ghost, appearing behind Su Changkong. His palm turned the color of black jade as he viciously smashed it toward Su Changkong’s spine!
"Bang!"
Su Changkong, as if he hadn’t reacted at all, felt the man’s palm slam against his spine, emitting a dull sound.
Yet to the middle-aged man’s alarm, Su Changkong remained unmoved, as if the man’s full-force strike was no more bothersome than an itch, not troubling Su Changkong in the slightest!
Su Changkong, having already reached the Saint Level, possessed a Martial Saint’s physique. Ordinary Divine Skills could hardly harm him, let alone this gray-clothed man who was merely a Five-Qi Grandmaster.
"Boom!"
Without turning his head, Su Changkong mobilized his thoughts, and an immense amount of nature’s spiritual energy surged like the tide, forming an overwhelming wave that crushed down on the gray-clothed man.
"Crack!"
Accompanied by the sound of bones shattering, the gray-clothed man was struck as if by thousands of tons of waves, his whole body’s bones bursting apart, his internal organs indeterminably shattered, blood spewing from his mouth as he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground like a ruptured ball.
"Fifth Elder!"
The warriors of the Shi Family cried out in alarm, wanting to unite and attack Su Changkong.
But a heavy oppressive force arose, and Su Changkong swept a cold glance around, "Whoever dares to move… dies!"
Any warrior who was scrutinized by Su Changkong felt a chill arise in their heart, as if being observed by a higher-dimensional being, their limbs stiffening, and their breathing accelerated.
"You... You’ve entered Saint level?"
The Second Elder struggled to lift his head, looking up at Su Changkong, his voice filled with incredulous disbelief.
Realizing that Su Changkong could so easily overpower him and that all the elite members of the Shi Family found it difficult to even move, this was certainly not something an ordinary Innate Martial Artist could achieve. Entering Saint level! This Dao Wufeng, like the Stone King, had entered the Saint level!
Su Changkong said calmly, "Can you tell the truth now?"
Su Changkong had been very restrained, but since the burly elder had been continuously evasive, Su Changkong had to take action for deterrence!
Su Changkong’s tone was calm, but the burly elder knew in his heart that if he dared to conceal anything further, the other party would not be so amiable.
"This Dao Wufeng has most likely reached the Saint level... but he’s definitely no match for the Stone King! It won’t hurt to tell him where the Stone King is; with the Stone King’s methods, he can surely slay him!"
