Chapter 9: Strength Test? I refuse!
"Chi, kappa?"
Walking into a room in the depths of the far field, Su Mo and Esther sat on the floor quite naturally.
――He still can't get used to this kind of Japanese tatami mat.
Prepare two chairs will die
complained silently in his heart, but Su Mo naturally didn't show his emotions on his face, and now he looked like he was sitting on the ground so squarely, his shoulders were naturally relaxed, and his expression was indifferent or mixed with a slight smile.
In front of him and Esther sat three youkai - the black-haired kappa who had invited them here, the strong man with a murderous face and several scythes behind his back, and the old kappa with flabby red skin and blank eyes like in the twilight of his life.
But even so, Su Mo did not despise the old guy in front of him who looked like the fire of life was about to burn out - he was extremely sensitive to vitality, and it was clear that before this, this red kappa could live in his current state for another seven or eight hundred years without any pressure
"And why did you call me here?"
Although it is indeed reasonable to meet Tono's boss, but since the other party is now taking the initiative to invite him over, it must be explained that there is some purpose.
"Tono, what you need is strength."
Hearing Su Mo's inquiry, Chi Hetong raised his huge head, his eyes drooped and his eyelids drooped, and said in a voice that was so slow that it seemed as if he was about to die at any moment.
Then, in a deep and strong voice, the big man continued:
"Tono never admits the weak, and never sympathizes with the weak!"
"Hey~ contempt for the weak?"
Su Mo knocked on his floor, and the corner of his eye twitched slightly.
"Strength is a must."
And then. As if he didn't care about the conversation between the man next to him and Su Mo, Chi Kappa said to himself:
"Tono is a martial arts giant in the Northeast. We've been sending talent to yokai organizations across the country for a long time, so we're not going to be under anyone's control. and never exchanged lamps with anyone. ”
"And then?"
Hearing this, the corners of Su Mo's mouth suddenly twitched.
It always feels like these guys are getting something wrong.
"If you want to get power from Tono, you have to show your strength"
"Tono has always exported its own talents like an organization with sufficient strength."
The skinny kappa also said in his own hoarse voice.
"Hey, you guys—"
As a result, Su Mo slowly raised his right hand and looked at them with a smiling expression:
"Did you make a mistake?"
"What do you mean? Isn't a person who comes to Tono here to ask for help for his own power? There have been many such people in Tono for thousands of years, but there are very few who have succeeded. ”
The strong man reported his chest with both hands, and his strong muscles seemed to explode.
"I suddenly feel so tired—although it is true that there will be a person who will come to Tono and take many people with him soon, but it is not me."
The corners of Su Mo's mouth tugged at a smile:
"But you, who think I'm here to ask for help—are you a little too arrogant?"
Although he consciously tried to suppress the desire to fight in his heart and achieve self-cultivation, Su Mo would still provoke others unknowingly.
Uh-huh. As a result of the provocation -
"Boy, are you flouting Tono's dignity?!!!"
The reaction of the two elderly kappa was relatively flat, but the angry big man sitting on the side stood up directly as if it had exploded and stared at Su Mo:
"Don't think you'll be so arrogant by suppressing those youkai at the entrance before! The only hard currency in Tono is strength, and those monsters before were just weak and damned garbage! Being able to suppress them doesn't mean you have the capital to be arrogant here!! ”
"I don't know what it means, you."
Raising his eyes and glancing at the other party, Su Mo still sat in place with an indifferent expression, and then spread his hands:
"So Tono is the only muscular fool like you?"
“!!!!”
Several green tendons instantly burst out on the big man's forehead, and his hand had unconsciously reached behind him to grasp the handle of a sickle.
"You-"
"Paint the worm back down."
Just as he was about to attack, the red kappa on the side suddenly spoke.
"Akakopa-sama!!"
"Rest easy—your name is Su Mo, right? The name of that great power in the West. ”
"Huh?"
"If you're really not looking for talent this time, I'm really abrupt."
Akakoto's voice began to feel like a candle in the wind. Instead, it began to slowly become heavy and depressing.
Extremely strong demonic power like a rock.
"Huh~"
Feeling the demonic power in Chi Hetong's body that was suddenly different from before, Su Mo couldn't help but smile happily at the corner of his mouth.
- But Esther gave him a worried look.
"But now that you're here, you have to obey Tono's rules - come on, show us your power!"
"What if I say no?"
Su Mo smiled playfully.
"There's no room for you to refuse—"
It's like an invisible wind.,The whole person who was standing aside by the red kappa suddenly disappeared strangely.。 Then when he reappeared in the next second, his voice had already resounded behind Su Mo.
With a shiny blade to his throat.
But-
Iron――
The blade made a sharp but painful groan through the air.
"So, you want to fight?"
One hand chased over from behind and pinched the scythe, Su Mo turned his head and grinned, revealing his white teeth.
The originally black and white eyes are now showing a somewhat chaotic and strange color.
"Then I'll have fun with you."
The bright red tongue licked the corners of his mouth gently. His expression now seemed a little unusually eerie
Sure enough, isn't it said that the influence of such a thing as the evil of this world can be ignored if you ignore it?
"Shirley. How do you feel like you've been feeling a little uncertain lately? ”
The cat lady asked her friend with a basket of materials on her back.
As a cat demon whose strength is not outstanding. In fact, she only has a certain relationship with Tono, and now she is ready to go down the mountain and return to her shop.
"Well, I think I've found my target!"
Hearing her friend's inquiry, Shirley turned around and said happily, with a slight pink of excitement on her face.
"The goal? Don't you"
The cat lady seemed to have guessed something, and she had an expression of disbelief.
"Well, that's it!"
"Isn't it! How long have you known each other? And the other party doesn't seem to feel for you at all, does he?! ”
The cat lady said that she was not good.
"So what's the matter, I like strong men! And that person is the first person to give me that feeling so far, even if there is no emotional foundation? I'm going to get him! ”
Clenching her little fists, Shirley said confidently.
"Ahh
is very aware of the character of the snow girl in front of her, and the cat lady can only wave her hand to show that she still supports it.
Well, although there is always a premonition that something is not so good.
"Thanks, I-"
Rumble!!!!
Then, it seemed as if she was about to say something, but a loud roar interrupted her.
"What, what's wrong?!!"
"In that direction, it's the residence of Akakopa-sama!!"
Looking from a distance, wasn't that smoke-filled place the same room where Chi Hetong and the others were talking to Su Mo before?
And now, it has become, a battlefield! (To be continued.) )
