A soul strike could only come from a soul. It aimed to harm the enemy’s own soul bypassing any physical resistance, like the body.
The sneaking red soul behind Li Mo had attacked long before he even spoke. With how fast the attack was and Li Mo too weak to even dodge, it struck him dead center.
Li Mo collapsed.
The attacker scoffed and floated by.
As to why he could float, it all had to do with being a soul.
The one who got the drop on Li Mo, was the same one who robbed Su Haoyang of his body – Su Mingyuan!
He checked Li Mo’s breath and relaxed.
Without any sign of life, nor soul signature from the body, it proved he was dead.
Su Mingyuan scoured Li Mo’s body with his soulful eye in disappointment, “You killed a fifth level being from a savage race so why are you so dirt poor?
“Useless!”
Su Mingyuan cussed then paused over Robb’s body before flying away.
Su Mingyuan’s body wasn’t close, leaving it back in the car.
He soon returned to Su Haoyang’s body.
The snow people duo lowered their heads the moment they noticed he was awake.
Su Mingyuan lingered over the girl, “Your master is dead.”
“How? Why?” The youth cried.
The girl shook her head fiercely, “He can’t die, he is strong.”
“I’ll take you to see it for yourselves.”
Su Mingyuan brought them to Robb’s corpse, who started bawling their eyes out.
Su Mingyuan praised inside, ‘They all say to never even consider snow people’s loyalties since they have none, to begin with. But now they look mighty loyal.’
“Master, please take us.”
The two broke Su Mingyuan out of his musing as they kneeled.
Su Mingyuan was stunned.
The youth grabbed Su Mingyuan’s leg and kissed his foot
“Master, from now on, Mite Snow is your most devoted servant.”
“Master, Millie Snow is yours.” The girl blushed.
“Ha-ha-ha, perfect, wonderful! I was dead wrong. There’s really no such thing as loyalty when it comes to snow people.”
Seeing the exotic beauty, Su Mingyuan’s heart throbbed. He was reaching over when a sharp pain stabbed his skull and making him grab his head.
He was not only killed by Li Mo and forced to pay the price of his son for his revival but also banned from venting his lust for the next decade. Well, he could, but that would affect the connection between his soul and this body.
Su Mingyuan shoved Millie Snow away and frowned above Robb’s corpse.
The snow people watched Li Mo’s body and a crippling fear for Su Mingyuan bore into them.
There was no love lost between Su Mingyuan and Robb. Their relation was strictly business. So while he didn’t feel an ounce of remorse to see Robb gone, he was in fact quite thrilled. With Robb dead, he got two snow people as retainers.
Su Mingyuan was now vexed if he should notify Robb’s comrades of his death or sweeping it under the rug.
Su Mingyuan saw for himself how hard Robb’s body was, despite all the attacks it received, it was unharmed. What if he used this body to fashion himself an armor? That’d be the best protection.
‘Perhaps not even master can harm me.’
Su Mingyuan’s gaze flitted between the snow people and Robb.
‘Telling Robb’s friends won’t get me anything. Perhaps is for the best if I…’
The snow people were rooted in fear when they sensed Su Mingyuan’s dangerous gaze as he turned.
“My heart aches having to kill such good servants, but it’s out of my hands. I have no choice but to kill you if I can have Robb’s body. I heard that there are plenty of snow people to go around. On the day I am strong enough, I can have as many as I wish.
“No matter how you look at it, a peak sixth level armor is far more valuable than your lives.”
“Spare us, master!” Mite Snow wailed.
“I will never betray master no matter what is your decision. Please believe us!” Millie Snow cried.
“Snow people have no credibility.”
Su Mingyuan took out a dagger and trodded towards them.
“Who are Robb’s comrades? How long have you been working with them?”
Li Mo’s voice struck Su Mingyuan dumb.
Hum~
Su Mingyuan found Li Mo suddenly pop in front of him as he turned.
“H-how are you not dead?” Su Mingyuan shrieked.
Li Mo scoffed, “Not even a fifth level soul cultivator can affect my soul’s stability. Yet you, a second level soul cultivator, and wounded at that, think you have what it takes?”
Li Mo was playing dead just so Su Mingyuan would finish monologuing and spill the beans of Robb’s comrades. But then Su Mingyuan got greedy and decided on keeping Robb’s demise under wraps.
For a lack of a better choice, Li Mo sprung into action.
Su Mingyuan inhaled then blew a nefarious wind.
Li Mo stood stock-still letting it blow over harmlessly.
Su Mingyuan’s spirit sank, as he recoiled a few steps on the ground. He pointed a shaky finger at Li Mo, “W-what kind of freak are you?”
“I am someone you don’t mess with.”
“I never did!”
“Oh? Guess I forgot. Sorry.”
Li Mo raised his leg but Su Mingyuan fled his body before he could strike.
Su Haoyang was a soul cultivator and Su Haoyang was only his vessel, a meatbag to discard.
“Spirit Strike.”
Li Mo released a faint blue Spirit Strike, bisecting Su Mingyuan’s soul.
Su Mingyuan didn’t get to utter a peep as he was scattered in a cloud of smoke.
Plop!
Plop!
The snow people fell to their knees shouting master over and over again.
“Master, oh great master, please grant your most loyal servant, Mite Snow, permission to follow you!”
“Master, Millie Snow is yours to command!”
The two’s heads dipped even lower, wanting to kiss the dirt Li Mo walked on.
Li Mo cleaned Su Haoyang’s corpse of all its valuables then turned to Robb to do the same. That done, he grabbed the snow people and used a top earth qi jade to return home.
Li Mo hadn’t the slightest interest in Robb’s body. Alive, Silver Armor race’s silver sacred armor trait was formidable. Dead, it only exerted 5% of its effect.
“Greetings mistresses, may you live a long and youthful lives. All your wishes may come true. May you have a blessed life!”
Mite Snow and Millie Snow were on their knees.
It was their first reaction when meeting the three demons and Su Qingyi.
