Chapter 142: Rampaging Through

Chapter 142: Rampaging Through

There were indeed quite a few people imprisoned in this water dungeon.

However, being able to sleep in the water dungeon was probably unique to this one individual.

Whether it was Zhuge Changtian, the leaders of the Green Snake Alliance, Red Leaf Gang, or Xuanlong Water Village, all of them stood there obediently.

But this big fat man was snoring away inside his cage...

What was astonishing was that he hadn't drowned while sleeping like this.

When Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun first pulled him out, they thought he was dead.

But then they discovered that his breathing was an internal cycle, transferring from the outside to the inside.

Once he was lifted out, his breathing naturally resumed its external cycle.

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun marveled at this, which also revealed the unique internal skills of this big fat man.

The others had intended to thank Su Mo for saving their lives, but upon hearing his words, they all turned to look at the big fat man.

The scene was quite spectacular.

Nearly a hundred people were imprisoned in the water dungeon, and now a crowd was gathered around to watch a big fat man sleep.

This big fat man... seemed perfectly content, completely ignoring the many gazes upon him.

After a moment, everyone finally came to their senses.

Zhuge Changtian hurriedly clasped his hands together and bowed to Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun:

"Thank you both for saving our lives, especially this young hero... May I ask for your esteemed name?"

"You're too kind."

Su Mo waved his hand. "I am Su Mo from Ziyang Escort Agency in Sunset City."

"Su Mo?"

Among those present, there were indeed some well-informed individuals. The leader of the Green Snake Alliance's face changed:

"Could you be the Chief Escort who broke the Youquan Cult in Profound Theory Valley?"

"I wouldn't dare claim such a feat; it was merely a fortunate coincidence."

Su Mo quickly waved his hand.

The leader of the Red Leaf Gang, a middle-aged woman, glanced at the leader of the Green Snake Alliance upon hearing this: "Broke the Youquan Cult? What do you mean by that?"

"Well..."

The leader of the Green Snake Alliance looked at Su Mo, and seeing that he had no objections, continued:

"The Youquan Cult recently infiltrated a southwestern region with nefarious intentions. This plan had been brewing for over two decades, with contacts within the southwestern martial world.

"Their scheme almost encompassed the entire southwestern martial world, excluding the Lifeless Hall, Fallen Phoenix Alliance, and Heavenly Blade Sect.

"Ultimately, they lured these experts into Profound Theory Valley and controlled them with the Blood-Burning Powder from the Youquan Cult!"

"Hisss!!"

Just hearing this much made some people draw in a sharp breath.

The chief of Xuanlong Water Village's face darkened:

"Blood-Burning Powder? If they had succeeded, the southwestern martial world would have fallen under their control in an instant."

"Exactly."

The leader of the Green Snake Alliance smiled. "But at this critical moment, Chief Escort Su Mo appeared. He entered Profound Theory Valley, turning the tide with his prowess. Not only did he foil the Youquan Cult's two-decade plan, but he also dealt a severe blow to the Youquan Cult.

"Among the Youquan Cult's two divisions, three banners, and six orders, the Blood Sea Division's Venerable and his subordinates, including the Blood-Transforming, Blood-Condensing, and Blood-Burning Orders, were all eliminated.

"After this incident, the various sects in East City took advantage of the Youquan Cult's weakened state, seizing Qingxiu Mountain and Yuhang Valley.

"They even forced the three banners and orders back to the Chimeilin Forest.

"If not for the unique environment of the Chimeilin Forest, the East City sects might have directly attacked the Youquan Cult's headquarters.

"This can be considered the greatest victory in the southwestern martial world in nearly fifty years!"

At first, Su Mo felt somewhat embarrassed listening to the leader of the Green Snake Alliance. But as he continued, Su Mo's eyes widened in surprise.

So much had happened after that?

They only knew that the southwestern region had taken down the Blood Sea Division's Venerable and the three order leaders, effectively severing one of the Youquan Cult's arms in the southwestern martial world.

But they hadn't realized that for the Youquan Cult, this loss was far more than just an arm.

This failed plot was truly a devastating blow.

"Such a monumental event, and we never heard about it."

The chief of Xuanlong Water Village was momentarily speechless.

The leader of the Red Leaf Gang nodded:

"I have heard about this matter. You are preoccupied with your own affairs in the village and naturally have little knowledge of what’s happening outside. The conflict between the righteous and evil factions in East City is indeed far from our waterways, so it makes sense that you haven’t paid much attention to it.

"However, while I heard that the factions in East City managed to repel the Youquan Cult and emerged victorious, I didn’t expect that the root cause actually came from the southwestern region.

"Now, I realize I was shortsighted."

"Indeed."

Zhuge Changtian and the others also nodded, bowing to Su Mo and thanking him again.

Su Mo shook his head:

"Just now, the leader of the Red Leaf Gang said that the conflict among the factions in East City is far from our waterways, but it seems that might not be the case."

"You’re right."

The chief of Xuanlong Water Village quickly nodded: "Zhuge Changtian, what’s going on with Evernight Valley?"

"This is a long story."

Zhuge Changtian said, "Since we’ve managed to escape, we can’t afford to linger here. Evernight Valley has grand plans, and we mustn’t let them succeed."

"Hmph."

The leader of the Red Leaf Gang sneered, "If you weren’t so incompetent, we wouldn’t have been trapped here in the first place."

"Speak of the devil."

Zhuge Changtian, though a tough man, wasn’t one to take insults lying down. He retorted angrily, "If you weren’t so incompetent, why would you be in this water dungeon with me?"

This statement left the three leaders speechless.

"Everyone..."

Su Mo hurriedly interjected, "Now isn’t the time for this. Zhuge Chief is right; these people have grand plans, and we can’t let them succeed. The female heroes from Cold Moon Palace are also in this water village, and we don’t know how things are progressing. Once we leave this water dungeon, we must launch a counterattack immediately."

"Su Hero speaks the truth!"

The leader of the Red Leaf Gang immediately agreed.

"That’s right. Since Su Chief is here, we will follow his lead."

The leader of the Green Snake Alliance bowed to Su Mo, speaking sincerely.

The chief of Xuanlong Water Village laughed heartily, "Today, we were tricked by the scoundrels of Evernight Valley, leading to our downfall. Now, we need to give them a big surprise when we get out."

Zhuge Changtian almost choked with anger, "What do you mean by ‘downfall’?"

"Uh..."

The chief of Xuanlong Water Village thought for a moment, "I didn’t mean you."

"How could you say such a thing?"

Su Mo quickly intervened, "Since we are in the Jiaolong Association, it’s natural for Zhuge Chief to take charge. We will follow his lead."

Zhuge Changtian nodded, about to speak, when footsteps echoed from the tunnel.

Everyone fell silent, turning their attention to the tunnel.

Two Jiaolong Association pirates, each wielding a single saber, walked in, their voices preceding them:

"Hey, can you guys keep it down? What are you doing in there?"

"If you can’t, maybe you should switch places with us. It’s freezing tonight..."

As they spoke, the two men emerged from the tunnel.

Su Mo looked back, a smile on his face.

The two pirates froze, suddenly feeling the water dungeon was far colder than the surface.

"Damn bastards!"

Zhuge Changtian roared, leading the Jiaolong Association pirates in a charge.

The two ordinary pirates were no match for them and were quickly killed.

"Let’s go."

Zhuge Changtian waved his hand, "I’ll lead the way with my men and clear the path for everyone!"

With that, he led his men out in a rush.

The leaders of the Green Snake Alliance, Xuanlong Water Village, and the Red Leaf Gang all looked at Su Mo.

Su Mo, however, glanced at the fat man still lying on the ground, puzzled, "Why hasn’t he woken up yet?"

The water dungeon had been in an uproar just now, and even the guards outside had heard the commotion, yet this man continued to sleep soundly, showing no signs of movement.

"This..."

The three leaders also looked at the fat man, exchanging glances in silence.

Su Mo was puzzled: "How should we address this person?"

"This person..."

The chief of Xuanlong Water Village was at a loss between laughing and crying: "I suppose you could say she’s one of my subordinates..."

His words were somewhat hesitant, leaving everyone else equally perplexed.

"This woman came to the village not long ago, a rather bold individual, just looking for a job to put food on the table.

"I saw that she had incredible strength and decent martial arts skills, so I decided to keep her around.

"But... she really can eat, like she’s swallowing mountains and rivers. In terms of appetite, several strong men couldn’t match her.

"However, her martial arts skills are truly formidable. When she wields her single-legged bronze man, even I dare not face her head-on.

"So I brought her along on this trip to Jiaolong Association."

Su Mo, Yang Xiaoyun, the leader of the Green Snake Alliance, and the leader of the Red Leaf Gang all nodded in agreement.

Then, with looks of astonishment, they asked in unison:

"A woman?"

"Um... yes."

The chief of Xuanlong Water Village confirmed:

"A woman."

Everyone looked again and noticed that the large, round face did indeed have a hint of delicate features.

But given her immense strength, how many people would dare to associate her with being a woman?

"Forget it, let her sleep here..."

Su Mo said: "We shouldn’t delay any longer, let’s..."

Just as he spoke, the large woman suddenly stretched, sat up, and looked around groggily, patting her belly:

"Is it mealtime yet?"

When she spoke, everyone realized she was indeed a woman. Despite her massive, muscular build, her voice was soft and girlish.

Su Mo’s lips twitched: "Come on, I’ll take you out for a meal."

"Ah? Okay."

The woman sprang up and stood next to Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, completely ignoring the chief of Xuanlong Water Village.

It seemed that whoever fed her, she would follow.

The chief of Xuanlong Water Village simply smiled and didn’t mind.

Without another word, everyone quickly left the water dungeon.

As soon as they reached the door, they heard shouts and cries from a distance.

Looking up, they saw Zhuge Changtian leading his men into the water village.

Not only that, but flames were rising high in the sky, though quite far from where Zhuge Changtian was.

Clearly, Chu Qiuyu and her group had set the fires.

While leading his men in battle, Zhuge Changtian roared angrily:

"If you lay down your weapons now, I might spare you. If you resist, you will die!"

"Resist, and you will die!"

"Resist, and you will die!"

This Jiaolong Water Village was originally Zhuge Changtian’s territory. Most of the people in the village were still loyal to the Jiaolong Association.

With Zhuge Changtian’s shout, the opposing side immediately lost heart.

In battle, morale is crucial; hesitation is fatal.

Once their spirit was broken, their resolve faltered, and they were no match for Zhuge Changtian’s forces.

Within moments, they were subdued, and some even joined Zhuge Changtian, helping him restore order.

The leader of the Green Snake Alliance nodded slightly:

"Zhuge Changtian is different from the chief of Xuanlong Water Village. He may seem like a brute, but he’s not. Given his status, it’s only a matter of time before he regains control of the Jiaolong Association."

"Provided he isn’t taken down first."

The leader of the Red Leaf Gang frowned: "What about the Shadow Envoy?"

Su Mo scanned the horizon: "Ladies and gentlemen, it seems Chief Zhuge doesn’t need our help. The disturbance at the other location is likely caused by a disciple of Cold Moon Palace. Let’s go check it out and see if we can be of any assistance."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

In reality, once Zhuge Changtian led his people into the water village, it would turn into an internal affair of the Jiaolong Association.

If they were to intervene rashly, they would inevitably find themselves in an awkward position.

Therefore, handing over the matter to Zhuge Changtian was the most appropriate choice, while their best option was to deal with Evernight Valley.

Just as they were about to take action, the chief of Xuanlong Water Village suddenly came to his senses and glared at the leader of the Green Snake Alliance:

"Who did you call a brute?"

"I didn't mean you."

The leader of the Green Snake Alliance leaped up first, rushing toward the flames.

"Stop right there and explain yourself."

The chief of Xuanlong Water Village immediately followed.

The others exchanged glances, somewhat amused yet helpless, but they also took off one by one. Only the large, fat woman found her lightness skills inadequate for the task.

She couldn't jump!

So she simply spread her thick legs and ran on the ground.

Zhuge Changtian was leading his men in battle when he suddenly heard a rumbling sound behind him, thinking it might be a rolling dragon.

But when he turned around, he saw a human meatball hurtling toward them, her large, round face filled with determination, as if she was determined to do something significant.

Zhuge Changtian was startled and shouted, "Move, move!"

The people behind him, who had all been freed from the water dungeon and had seen this large, fat woman snoring loudly before, quickly moved aside.

However, those on the opposite side had no idea what was happening. Although a few had seen her display her one-legged copper man technique on the training ground, it was too late to react now.

They watched helplessly as the large, fat woman charged forward, brandishing knives and swords to try to stop her.

The leader among them, a skilled fighter from Evernight Valley, raised his palm to intercept her.

"Move, move, don't stop me from eating!!"

With a casual wave of her large, fat hand, the man was sent flying before he could even speak.

He crashed through three wooden houses and landed, lifeless.

The large, fat woman then plunged into the crowd, causing chaos and scattering people everywhere.

No one could stop her as she rampaged through the crowd.

Occasionally, someone would try to strike her with a knife or sword, but her large, fat hand would wave, and both the person and the weapon would vanish into the sky above the water village.

Her incredible strength was truly rare in the world!

For a moment, not only were Zhuge Changtian and his men stunned, but the disciples of the Jiaolong Association were also left speechless.

Their morale further deteriorated...

On the rooftop, Su Mo and the others also witnessed the large, fat woman's rampage.

Whether it was the bandits of the Jiaolong Association or the skilled fighters of Evernight Valley, none could stand in her way.

Not to mention people...

The buildings within the water village were crisscrossed and densely packed, with narrow and winding paths.

So as she rampaged on the ground, she inevitably encountered forks in the road.

She paid no attention to such things, crashing through archways, wooden houses, and signposts without hesitation.

Her tough skin and sturdy build made these obstacles completely ineffective against her.

This scene left even Su Mo speechless.

"Just outside that grand hall, she didn't show any such ability."

If she had such strength, the people of Evernight Valley wouldn't have been able to stop her.

The chief of Xuanlong Water Village shook his head repeatedly: "I still don't know where this person comes from. She seems to have many secrets. Her abilities... are strange and unpredictable."

"Let's not worry about her for now."

As Su Mo glanced up, the place of the fire and fighting was already in sight.

He landed on a rooftop and saw that indeed, two sides were engaged in battle.

One side was Chu Qiuyu.

She led several junior sisters, forming a sword formation, surrounded by a group of black-clad fighters from Evernight Valley. Despite their fierce attacks, they couldn't break through the Cold Moon Palace's sword formation.

A few more skilled fighters assisted, creating a stalemate with the people of Evernight Valley.

The fire spread, burning fiercely, while the cold sword light and killing aura filled the air.

From a distance, Su Mo saw the Evernight Valley shadow envoy who had previously subdued the large, fat woman standing on a rooftop, watching the sword formation with a cold gaze, seemingly looking for an opportunity.

"The Cold Moon Palace's sword formation is indeed unique."

Xiaoyun glanced sideways and softly said, "Wei Ziyi's sword technique was impressive earlier. That night, when I saw Chu Qiuyu and the others in action, their sword techniques were slightly inferior to Wei Ziyi's."

However, observing the formation tonight reveals something unique and ingenious.

If that night they had formed an array to face their enemies, even the remnants of the Wicked Feast Sect might not have been invincible.

The Cold Moon Palace stands tall in East City, unmatched, with unparalleled martial arts within its walls. I, however, am more interested in the Evernight Valley...

The Youquan Cult is known for its cunning and devious methods. The Evernight Valley seems somewhat inferior at first glance, but one wonders if there are hidden intricacies in its martial arts?

Hmm? He's about to move!

As Su Mo raised his eyes, he saw that the Shadow Envoy was clearly ready, his aura boiling and about to strike.

But at that moment, a thunderous explosion echoed.

A nearby house exploded instantly.

A large, fat man burst out and charged directly into the crowd of Evernight Valley people.

The Evernight Valley members had their own strategies for attack and defense; who would have expected such an unexpected intruder?

Stunned, they were about to shift their formations to engage, but the fat man barged right into the crowd.

He plowed through the crowd like a bulldozer.

Reaching the other end, he looked around in confusion, turning back as if searching for something.

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and charged in another direction.

This time, he was heading straight for Su Mo.
