“Spare me!” Rosa’s head could still speak, begging for his life.
“Don’t worry, I never planed to kill any of you.”
Li Mo put Rosa into the God Prison, followed shortly by Kaskk.
“Abominable! If not for being limited to the fifth level, I could’ve killed a bug like you anytime I wanted!”
Kaskk roared.
“I only need to snap my fingers to kill you out in the universe.” Li Mo spoke as he tucked Kaskk away in his God Prison.
Li Mo then absorbed the origin fragment into the Staff of Origin and watched it glow.
He used a top earth qi jade to get to Oldie, but even as the earth qi jade turned to dust, nothing happened.
“You’re going nowhere.” A dark voice came.
“The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. While you were fighting, I set up a Remote Array. You can’t escape.”
A black figure landed in front of Li Mo.
“The Staff of Origin, and at a third of its power to. He-he-he, I thought that rotten Kaskk had gathered plenty of origin fragments, but they can’t even compare to the ones you have.
“My luck has turned.
“Had it over and sign a soul contract, then I will spare you.”
Li Mo took deep breaths.
He was wounded all over. He had to admit, this black figure’s timing was perfect.
“Aren’t you curious who I am? Too bad, I’ll never tell you.”
Li Mo smiled, “You fancy yourself mysterious?
“You have such an amazing talent and power, and instead of fighting against the alien invasion, you go against your own kind. I am thoroughly disappointed.”
“He-he, what’s Earth’s destruction got to do with me? Or the death of others, for that matter? What’s important is that I am alive.“
“Li Mo, you crippled the Gates, put a stop to the alien invasion, and killed Kaskk and Rosa. You saved Earth. But will anyone know that? No one thinks the world of you.
“To be perfectly honest, I’ve always been afraid of your power. If not for catching you injured today, I’d never appear before you.
“Die!”
The man used a palm attack and Li Mo his fist.
Rumble!
The ground shook and rocks cracked as the man in black flew twenty meters into a cliff.
Pff…
He spurted blood.
“How are you still so powerful? This is impossible! You’re gravely wounded and can barely stand. How can you still hurt me?”
“You acted without even knowing the situation. Zheng Wufang, it seems you’re too rash.”
“You…”
The man jerked and twisted, preparing to leave this place. He was twisting for ages, but that was it.
“How? My Elemental Escape Art is infallible!”
“I’m sorry, but it seems that my fist had some golden dust on it and you can no longer use your spiritual qi.”
“You… you…” The man bolted.
Li Mo made a hand sign and sent his flying sword after him. The sword shot through the man’s chest and his heart.
The man collapsed, yet still breathing. He crawled for a while before stopping.
“Whoosh~”
Li Mo kept sicking the flying sword on him as much as a dozen times. Then the man jumped to his feet and kept fleeing.
Whoosh~
The sword passed the man, robbing him of a leg, then again, taking his other leg.
Di-di-di…
Then the oddest thing happened then. The man in black turned to blood before it gathered and reformed, safe and free of injuries.
Pff~
The man then exploded, shooting countless blood drops everywhere.
Li Mo jumped thirty meters back.
The blood flowed on the ground; it climbed or sank, extending everywhere…
Li Mo took his sword and left.
Zheng Wufang cultivated the Demon Blood Sutra. As long as one drop of blood remained, he could recover. In Li Mo’s current condition, he had no chance of killing him for good.
Furthermore, how could a cautious man like Zheng Wufang not stash away some blood for safe keeping?
Killing him was pointless. Or better yet, Li Mo had gone beyond the limits of his body and pushing himself more would be reckless and detrimental.
Not long after Li Mo left, the blood gathered and reformed into the man in black again.
“He actually knows who I am. Curses!”
…
“Did you kill Kaskk and Rosa?”
Ah Cai was moved to see the wounded Li Mo.
Li Mo nodded weakly and closed his eyes.
Li Mo didn’t go to Oldie, but to Jade Lake Club.
“I am here for a bit of Void Beast bone.”
“Yes, lord!”
“I will enter seclusion. You are not to disturb me no matter what.”
Ah Cai nodded and left.
Li Mo sat cross-legged as his body released blue spiritual qi, wrapping around him.
Ah Cai brought the Void Beast bone but left quietly after such a startling scene.
Li Mo took a week to heal. On the seventh day, the room was filled with blue spiritual qi. Ah Cai and her seven daughters also benefited from it. They cultivated here and had actually made small progress in bringing their constitution one step closer to their ancestor.
The blue spiritual qi vanished from the room and Li Mo came out brimming with vitality.
Ah Cai offered the Void Beast bone, but Li Mo didn’t take it for free. He had them bathed in the Staff of Origin’s light.
This brought Ah Cai’s constitution on the cusp of reaching the first generation of Ephemeral Birds. While her chicks, who sported a single color, showed many others. They weren’t pronounced, but it showed clearly they were getting closer to their ancestor.
Li Mo merged the Void Beast bone into the God Prison. Now his God Prison restricted the space inside, making so not even a tenth level could break out.
Hum~
Li Mo then had Ah Cai and her seven chicks linked to the God Realm. They no longer needed to be so dependent on the Void Beast bone.
“I can feel my power rising…” Ah Cai was touched.
Her chicks were ever thankful for Li Mo’s act.
“Lord, I have a request!” Ah Cai kneeled at his feet.
