So what do you think?” Su Mo asked solemnly. Even he knew that at present they were too powerful. The other cities could gang up on them.

Rumble!

It was then that something else happened. The Fifth City that was originally calm trembled slightly all of a sudden, with a rumbling sound coming from inside.

“What’s happening?” Su Mo and the others halted in their tracks as they looked to the Fifth City inquisitively.

The Fifth City, which had been quiet for so long, seemed to have begun s battle inside.

Rumble!

There was another roar, and then four people flew out from the city.

Among the four, Long Teng took the lead. There was one more from the Dragon Tribe and two from the Human Palace.

“Long Teng!” Su Mo was shocked to see this. So it seemed that Long Teng had been in the Fifth City, but what was going on now?

Swoosh!

Long Teng and the others rushed towards them and landed in front of Su Mo and his people.

“Long Teng, what’s going on?” Su Mo asked impatiently.

“Young Master Ba Yun’s in the Fifth City. He saw how you formed an alliance and led an invasion, so he planned to kick us out. We escaped!” Long Teng said with a bitter smile.

He had been getting along with Young Master Ba Yun in the Fifth City, but once the young master had seen how things escalated, he knew he had to form alliance with Prince Gu Mo in order to take down Su Mo.

So, Young Master Ba Yun, together with the people in the Fifth City, wanted to kick them out.

Luckily for them, Long Teng was strong and fast enough to react. He got out with the three other men very quickly.

There should have been another two companions from the Dragon Tribe, but they could not escape in time. They were captured and Young Master Ba Yun and were disqualified.

“No matter, let’s wipe them out!” Su Mo smiled. With Long Teng on his team, things were looking up.

But, with the Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Cities having teamed up now, their numbers had increased. They were not weaker than Su Mo’s team anymore, and that would make things trickier.

“Everyone, what do you think we should do?” Su Mo sent a message to Long Teng, the Flaming Devil Ghost Sage, Ye Lingtian, and Gongsun Changjue via voice transmission. He was going to come up with a plan in secret.

“With our current strength, we can battle it out. Wiping out those cities would not be a problem but, as of now, there hasn’t been news from the Seventh and Ninth Cities!” the Flaming Devil Ghost Sage replied flatly.

“True. If I’m not mistaken, Young Master Hun Tianling should be in the Ninth City!” Ye Lingtian peered at the Ninth City and sent the message with a stern face.

“Why do you think so?” Su Mo asked. How had the man concluded that Young Master Ling was in the Ninth City?

“From what I know, Young Master Ling was extremely good in formations. I assumed there must be an ultimate form within the Ninth City. Once we enter, we’ll lose without a doubt!” Ye Lingtian said.

“I see!” Su Mo shuddered. It seemed the Ninth City would be the trickiest one.

Luckily for them, Young Master Ling was from the Chaotic Tribe. It would not be so bad if he won in the end.

Of course, since Su Mo represented the Dragon Tribe in this Thousand Selection Fight, he would not go easy on Young Master Ling. He had to strive for the Dragon Tribe’s greatest interest.

“I think, we should first attack the Sixth City and go from there. If that doesn’t work, our three cities can come together and strike them head on!” said Gongsun Changjue. Based on his observations, the combined strengths of the three cities were strong enough, and they had many strong fighters. Even if the battle ahead would be difficult, the odds were greatly in their favor.

“I guess that’s what we can do now!” said Long Teng.

“Alright, let’s go!” Su Mo nodded and led the way.

The crowd followed. And so, a massive group of about two-hundred people quickly arrived at the Sixth City.

They chose the Sixth City because it was the weakest one. Not only had they lost a great deal of manpower previously, but it seemed that they did not have many strong fighters to begin with.

But, before Su Mo could make a move on the Sixth City, a large number of strong fighters from the Fifth and Eighth cities gradually flew out of the city.

Young Master Ba Yun led the Fifth City, while the Eighth City was under Prince Gu Mo’s command.

After both sides flew out of the city cluster, they made no other movements aside from stopping in front of the city. They exchanged glances, both having the same plan in mind.

Based on their posture, it seemed they would march towards one of the First through Third Cities in the event that Su Mo decide to attack the Sixth City.

“Su Mo, if you can join forces, so can we! Now, the Eighth, Fifth, and Sixth City have formed an alliance!” Donned in a white robe and bearing the appearance of a rough-faced butcher, Young Master Ba Yun gazed at Su Mo as he called out to him, his voice thundering across the open space.

He was not boasting. Previously, they had allied in secret and next they planned to contact the Seventh City, which had been silent all this time.

With the four cities joined as one, their combined strengths would surely surpass Su Mo and his people.

“Is that so?” Su Mo frowned slightly when he heard that. Things were not going well for him.

If they battled it out right now, even if they won, their victory would come at a great cost. By then, the Seventh and Ninth Cities could gain the upper hand.

Long Teng and Ye Lingtian frowned as well. The situation was not looking bright at all.

“Su Mo, after seeing your battle with Helan Shang, I’ve been itching to try my hand. I wonder if you’ll accept this challenge?” Young Master Ba Yun’s bronze eyes stared at Su Mo unblinkingly, his voice as sombre as ever.

“You want to fight me alone?” Su Mo was taken aback by this. He had never expected Young Master Ba Yun to make such a request.

Could it be that this man, like Helan Shang, was also out to get him?

However, Su Mo looked pleased rather than angry. If he defeated Young Master Ba Yun, the situation would turn out very differently.

“That’s right, do you dare?” Young Master Ba Yun’s majestic figure stood tall and straight, exuding invincible dominance.

He had watched the fight between Su Mo and Helan Shang. He knew what Su Mo was capable of, but he was not sfraid.

His power was simple, not comparable at all with Helan Shang’s.

Furthermore, only in a solo fight would he have the highest chance to capture or defeat Su Mo.

Prince Gu Mo slightly peered at Young Master Ba Yun. He knew very well that Young Master Ba Yun should be just like himself. Both of them wanted to have Su Mo completely subdued.

But, from what he could see, Young Master Ba Yun only had half a winning chance.

Even if Prince Gu Mo were to fight Su Mo in person, his odds were at sixty or at most seventy percent.

“If a battle is what you wish, how can I refuse?” Su Mo smiled with a mocking flicker in his eyes.

“Haha, that’s the spirit. If that’s the case, let me see what your Chaotic Orthodox Practice can do!” Young Master Ba Yun laughed as he strode towards Su Mo.

With each step, Young Master Ba Yun’s vigor only got stronger. His whole person seemed to become infinitely stronger. With each step, the void as well as the ground collapsed even more.

“Su Mo, be careful. Young Master Ba Yun’s at Eighth Grade, and he has mastered the Indestructible Body. His flesh and bones have surpassed that of middle-grade sacred weapons, coming close to the top ones. Basically he can’t be destroyed!” Long Teng passed a voice transmission to him that was almost a whisper. Young Master Ba Yun was definitely a scary opponent.

Although it was said that, in Shenkun Small World, both physical power and strength were suppressed, but Yong Master Ba Yun’s physical body even at the same level with everyone else was basically death-proof.

“Relax!” Su Mo nodded briefly as he too strode towards Yong Master Ba Yun.

The two walked on opposite ends, slowly approaching each other, their vigor constantly rising.

Chaotic Power brewed within Su Mo, like there was a divine dragon roaring inside. In his hands, the Ultimate Holy Sword gave out rays of dazzling brilliance.

Young Master Ba Yun gave off the feeling of an oppressive mountain. As he approached, the mountain got heavier.

Purplish-gold light glimmered on his entire body. His muscles were constantly trembling and pulsating, as though ferocious beasts were hiding under every inch of his skin.

Ten miles!

Five miles!

Two miles!

Very soon, Su Mo and Young Master Ba Yun were just two miles apart.

“Take this!” Young Master Ba Yun roared, shattering the firmament as he struck a heavy blow at Su Mo..
