The legs bent, ejecting to close the distance, and then directly using the skill [Mountain Collapse and Earth Split].
In an instant, a yellowish-brown light enveloped Su Mo's entire body, and with the horse-cutting saber in hand, he slashed forward, spreading out a conical ripple.
Where the ripple passed, the ground collapsed entirely, and two speed series professionals, along with their nearby companions, exploded instantly.
A large mist of blood wafted through the air, the rich scent of blood drifting far away.
The result of one strike was unexpected even to Su Mo.
Previously, reviewing the skill description, it dealt massive damage to enemies within a forward cone, along with dizziness and knockdown effects.
During experiments in the Wild Boar Forest Dungeon, he only cast the skill in empty space, never in real combat.
Unexpectedly, the massive damage was so overwhelming.
The Silver Tier opponents usually 30 levels above him were instantly killed by just one skill.
Su Mo had never considered how terrifying his strength attribute, surpassing a thousand points, truly was.
Not to mention these ordinary professionals; even true geniuses rarely manage to break a thousand points in a single attribute in the Silver Tier.
Don't be fooled by the bosses Su Mo fights, which often have blood volumes of a hundred thousand or even single attributes exceeding a thousand.
But that's a boss!
Seriously, if bosses had attributes like humans, they wouldn't risk their lives in groups to challenge bosses.
Of course, this refers to those of the same level.
If real-world Golden-level powerhouses fought Duke Fang and the Fear Scarecrow, it would likely only take a few moves.
After all, even though both are Golden-level, others are at least level 60, while the Duke of Furious Fang is only level 20, and the Fear Scarecrow only level 10.
Even if their attributes differ drastically, the level gap is enough to compensate.
The seven on the other side initially intended to flee, but witnessing Su Mo's single slash instantly annihilate a six-man squad terrified them.
"Boss, boss, don't kill us, we surrender!"
"Boss, we surrender..."
Instantly, two of them knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing in Su Mo's direction to beg for mercy.
The rest saw this and also knelt down.
However, from the moment Su Mo made his move, he never intended to let them return alive.
Once more, he raised the horse-cutting saber, the earth-toned light flickered, and amid their despairing eyes, the saber fell.
"Stop!"
[Boom!]
Before Su Mo's saber could fall, he was blasted hundreds of meters away.
Before Su Mo could stand up, yet another golden light struck him.
This time it drove him over 80 meters underground.
"You dare kill my son, today no matter what family you belong to, you will be buried with him!"
The aged voice carried a hint of madness, and streams of golden light continued to strike Su Mo relentlessly.
Since awakening, Su Mo had never been battered by anyone like this, even though he possessed Absolute Defense and never dodged attacks.
They could only land one strike on Su Mo before being slain in return.
But now, his body continued plummeting deeper into the earth, yet he hadn't even seen what his opponent looked like.
After several tens of seconds, Su Mo could not even count how many hits he had taken.
Now he was already buried 300 meters deep.
As the last bit of golden light dissipated, Su Mo kicked off the ground, leaping over 200 meters high.
"Still not dead, what kind of monster are you!"
"But I don't care what kind of monster you are, today you must die!"
An aged face appeared at the entrance of the pit, and in his hand a fireball emitting intense heat rapidly formed.
Su Mo squinted, locking his eyes on the opponent, kicked off the ground, and once again leaped with the horse-cutting saber raised high, his body emitting a glaring white light.
The [Destructive Strike] skill activated instantly, his strength attribute tripled to an intimidating 3024 points.
The fearsome sword qi swept forward, and upon collision with the intensely hot fireball, split it in two.
The momentum of the sword light was unabated, flying straight toward the elderly man.
Seeing this, the old man's pupils widened, then rapidly contracted, and dozens of golden lights flickered across his body.
[Boom!]
The terrifying sword light landed on the old man, accompanied by a series of cracking sounds, turning every piece of defensive equipment into powder.
When the last protective shield-type equipment shattered, accompanied by a thunderous boom, a large cloud of dust rose from the ground.
At this, Su Mo finally landed on the ground, glancing at his own tattered clothing.
Tightening his grip on the horse-cutting saber, Su Mo immediately rushed towards the site of the explosion.
Such an attack from Su Mo wouldn't even guarantee the severing of a level 20 Golden Boss in one blow, let alone a Golden-level strongman above level 60.
Su Mo knew well the difference between a level 20 Golden Boss and a level 60 Golden Professional.
From previous observations, the opponent seemed to be a mage; mage defenses are typically fragile, and they are poor in close combat.
Thus, Su Mo naturally aimed to finish him off while he was down; the saying goes "remove the weeds and eliminate the roots, lest they grow again in the spring breeze."
If this old fellow wasn't dead, Su Mo felt uneasy.
Moreover, his Heart of Slaughter wasn't just for killing monsters, it gained attribute points too.
Previously, he had slain 16 Silver Professionals over level 40, each granting him 3 free attribute points.
Though not many, they almost totaled 50 points.
If he could also vanquish this level 60 Golden Professional, perhaps his attributes would break 200 again.
[Mountain Collapse and Earth Split]
When slightly closer, Su Mo immediately reused Mountain Collapse and Earth Split.
[Boom!]
The earth shattered inch by inch, spreading into the distance as the dust gradually cleared, revealing the old man's silhouette.
At this moment, the old man was clutching a fiery red scepter, glaring at Su Mo with eyes that seemed to shoot flames.
The severe wound at his chest, almost slicing him in half, was alarming.
Severely wounded? In that case, become my attribute points!
Such thoughts flashed through Su Mo's mind, then without hesitation, he charged forward once more.
Golden fireballs, white telekinesis, green poison gas, thunder, and various energies flew forth to stop Su Mo's approach.
But Su Mo showed no intention of dodging, directly smashing forward, his sole focus to finish off the target while he was weak.
[Boom!]
The horse-cutting saber collided fiercely with the fiery red scepter, the immense force sending the old man flying over 20 meters.
The opponent being a mage, if instead a defense or strength series professional, Su Mo's 1000 points of strength might not have sufficed.
[Puff!]
The old man spat a mouthful of blood, and before he could stand, Su Mo was already in his face.
"Stop!"
A hurried voice came from the sky.
If it weren't for this voice, Su Mo might have asked something, but upon hearing the command to stop, without any hesitation, he tightened his grip, and an aged head rolled to the ground.
