This punch was incredibly powerful and terrifying fist power surged across the heavens. Governor Bai had shown no mercy with this angry punch.

Crash! Bang!

The troops standing at the city gates and a few martial artists hastily retreated when they saw Governor Bai made his move.

None of them dared to stand too near for fear for being killed by the aftermath of that attack.

Everyone looked on in excitement. Now that their governor had shown up, this outsider was bound to die!

It was a pity that such a talented genius was about to perish here!

Bai Yin’er tensed up and she stared anxiously at Su Mo.

Could this man be killed in one move from her father?

Bai Yin’er was a little worried. It would be a tremendous pity if such an amazingly talented genius perished just like that!

Su Mo did not flee, nor dodge this blow. He immediately stopped to draw his sword and slashed out.

Slash!

A three-colored sword Qi burst forth, pierced through the heavens and ripped the void into shreds. Its mighty power was comparable to the fist radiance.

The next instant, both attacks collided violently.

Boom!

There was an ear-splitting explosion as sword Qi and fist radiance exploded together. The resulting blast wave was extremely destructive and it surged across the surroundings.

Boom!

A large portion of the city gates was hit by the blast wave and quickly collapsed. This caused a huge dust cloud to rise from the ground.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Su Mo and Governor Bai rapidly retreated by 3,000 meters. None of them faced the terrifying blast wave head-on.

Once again, the crowd was left flabbergasted.

This outsider had forced the city governor to retreat in one move!

In one move, he had shown that his strength was comparable to the city governor!

How could someone of True Darkness Realm cultivation be evenly matched with their city governor, who was of Lv 8 Martial King Realm cultivation? This was impossible!

The crowd felt like they were going insane!

Previously, when Su Mo had displayed incredible combat strength to defeat General Cheng, breaking all their records in the process, their understanding of the term ‘genius’ had been rewritten.

Now, Su Mo had actually proven that his strength was comparable to the city governor.

Their earlier shock had been replaced by absurdity. The entire situation seemed so absurd that the entire universe seemed to be going equally crazy.

Bai Yin’er’s face froze once again and she stood slack-jawed as she looked dumbly at the scene in front of her.

She was well aware of her father’s strength and also knew that he was invincible across Great Martial City.

She had worried earlier that Su Mo would be killed in one move. She had not expected him to not just emerge unharmed, but also be evenly matched with her father!

How incredible was his combat strength?

How could someone as talented as him even exist?

Bai Yin’er was unable to wrap her head around it.

No one was more stunned than Governor Bai himself.

“How could this be?” Governor Bai cried out in alarm, completely overwhelmed by shock. He had never expected Su Mo to be this powerful.

If not for the fact that Su Mo truly gave off an aura of a Lv 9 True Darkness Realm martial artist, he would have thought that he was facing a peer-level martial artist.

He had seen Su Mo capturing General Cheng in one move earlier from a distance. Although he had been shocked then, he did not expect Su Mo’s strength to be comparable to his.

Swoosh!

Su Mo flew backward for about 3,000 meters before he finally stopped. The powerful blast wave had crashed against and had been blocked by his body-protection Dark Force.

“Governor Bai, don’t go too far!” Su Mo shouted, as killing desire flashed past his eyes.

Governor Bai had tried to extort him earlier and now, he had even attacked him. This only served to fan the flames of his murderous rage.

If Governor Bai had a death wish, Su Mo would not mind granting his wish.

“Boy, you’re only of Lv 9 True Darkness Realm cultivation, how can you be so powerful?” Governor Bai asked in surprise after he tamped down his shock.

“Stop testing my patience!” Su Mo said coldly, ignoring Governor Bai’s question. He then turned around and flew off into the horizon.

“Wait a minute!” Governor Bai immediately chased after Su Mo.

“You must be courting death!” Su Mo was livid. Governor Bai’s incessant harassment was getting on his nerves.

He suddenly turned around and his Sky-crushing Sword was replaced by his Hornet Sword.

The Hornet Sword’s sword ray burst forth as his Dark Force surged. It soon transformed into a huge sword that was at least 3,000 meters tall.

“An Emperor Divine Weapon!”

Governor Bai gasped and his eyes widened.

When he saw that Su Mo was about to attack, he hastily stopped and shouted, “Wait a minute, l come in peace!”

Governor Bai was not here to attack Su Mo, but rather, he wanted to diffuse the tension.

He was a smart man and knew from their earlier exchange of blows that it would be very challenging to kill Su Mo.

Now that Su Mo held an Emperor Divine weapon in his hand, he would be almost impossible to kill.

Governor Bai thought quickly. It would be very easy for him to get rid of Su Mo since all he had to do was to report this disturbance to the capital and the Divine Martial Emperor would send experts to kill Su Mo.

However, he would not gain anything from this.

Things would be different if he could
