Chapter 1485: Chapter 561: Sword Control with Water
The nine Water Control Swords are the Store Manager’s final trump card, and his most important one.
The reason he initially scoured for sword casting masters and sought out materials everywhere was because of this matter.
Relying on the remarkable abilities of these nine swords.
No matter how great your martial arts are, how can you possibly battle them in water?
To think, after all the hardships and dangerous endeavors, they lured Su Mo into the water, falling into the siege of nine men.
Yet Su Mo still managed to escape.
Moreover, he directly boarded their great ship, looting and slaughtering all the way.
If this continues, what should be done?
The Store Manager, listening to the clamor of slaughter on the ship, wished he could grind his molars in fury.
To let him rush up and battle Su Mo desperately, that’s absolutely impossible.
But if he lets Su Mo continue to plunder and kill, once all the people on the ship are dead or injured, wouldn’t his years of accumulation vanish, all falling into Su Mo’s hands?
This... what should be done?
He furrowed his brows, about to make a resolute decision.
Suddenly, Su Mo popped his head out:
"By the way..."
"What?"
The Store Manager responded, feeling uneasy.
Su Mo smiled:
"Since you can avoid water, surely you can avoid poison as well?"
"Avoid..."
The Store Manager, stunned, then greatly alarmed:
"What are you trying to do?"
"Seems like it’s not possible."
Su Mo chuckled again: "I thought it was a game of whack-a-mole, but now it seems like it’s fishing with explosives. Your Water Control Sword seems not so remarkable after all..."
After saying this, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, opened the lid, and poured without any sense of virtue.
Seeing this, the Store Manager hastily shouted:
"Retreat!!!"
They wielded their longswords, turned, and quickly left the area.
Looking back from afar, they saw Su Mo standing at the ship’s head, smiling without speaking, as if this ship was his own.
The Store Manager nodded repeatedly:
"Very well, Su Mo!
"Let’s see how long you can keep this up.
"We definitely can’t do anything against you, but now that you know about these Water Control Swords.
"We might as well head straight for your great ship.
"You slaughter on my ship, and I slaughter on yours, let’s see who kills more."
Su Mo just chuckled:
"Why is he in such a hurry?
"I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t need me to make a move, and you’ll all perish in the water."
The Store Manager furrowed his brows, unsure whether Su Mo’s words were merely a bluff or if he truly had such confidence.
Suddenly, Su Mo sighed:
"Enough, I found this ship, that’s sufficient.
"Store Manager, Hero Ji’s spirit is not far, and I indeed shouldn’t be playing games here any longer.
"Now, I send you on your way."
With those words, Su Mo suddenly tapped his foot and soared through the air.
The Store Manager immediately waved his hand:
"Into the water!!"
Su Mo’s figure landed, yet he stood serenely upon the sea, swaying with the waves.
The water surface undulated ceaselessly, yet beneath it seemed utterly still.
Su Mo stood with hands behind, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.
At that moment, he suddenly turned.
The Sword Qi swept into the sky, brushing past his clothes.
Such marked the beginning.
Su Mo’s figure changed continuously within the narrow space above the sea.
Layers of Sword Qi intertwined like a web, entangled like silk.
But this was not intended to mend Su Mo with these sword edges but rather to drag him into the water.
By now, Su Mo was no longer the inexperienced young man who just emerged from his thatched house.
Young, no one knew his origins.
Now, although everyone might not know the extent of Su Mo’s martial arts, they knew he possessed a peerless Body Protection Divine Skill.
Not to mention ordinary weapons, even the Ten Great Swords of the World might not be able to break his Body Protection Divine Skill.
Hence, relying on the advantage of treasure swords to kill him was impossible.
However, if he were dragged into the water, without a chance to escape.
No matter how peerless your Body Protection Divine Skill is, you still might drown.
As the Sword Qi began increasingly dense, the ice beneath Su Mo’s feet was finally shattered by their Sword Qi.
His figure involuntarily fell into the water.
The next moment, a shocking sword light descended from the heavens.
Su Mo reached out and grabbed it, pressed by the sword light, he immediately sank into the deep sea.
However, this place was even deeper than the previous one.
As his figure continued to sink, the Store Manager and others started to feel discomfort.
The further down, the heavier the pressure.
Their Water Control Swords, though extremely marvelous.
Inner Strength interacts with it, allowing for breathing ability.
Just like external breathing becoming internal, no need to exhale from the mouth, the breath circulates.
But beyond this, there was not much else miraculous.
Nor any true Water Control Ability; otherwise, why fear underwater poison?
The Store Manager had heard of the Water Control Sword’s true power.
It was said that those who wield this sword could move and sit freely on the sea, walking on water as if on level ground, diving deep into the sea, traveling a thousand miles a day.
Moreover, they could draw water for use, turning it into swords, with each drop acting like a sword edge.
But at this splitting into nine, his Water Control Sword couldn’t achieve this.
Nor could it resist underwater pressure.
Dragging Su Mo all the way here was already their limit.
Su Mo looked at the nine people beside him, smiling again, unable to speak in water, but his gaze conveyed his intent.
