"Haha, Lin Mo, within my domain, I am the master, you..." Ning Xuan was saying, suddenly, his voice came to an abrupt stop, because Lin Mo's body had vanished like mist, and another Lin Mo appeared in a different place.
"In my domain, how can you still cast magic?" Ning Xuan was taken aback.
Lin Mo shook his head indifferently, "With your level of realm, you still think you can trap me?"
"Open!"
As Lin Mo spoke, he grasped the Xuanyuan Sword, its blade wreathed in cold energy with golden thunder leaping about. The sword light swept across, sending out a sword qi carrying the aura of destruction toward the void.
This sword light, as fine as a silk thread, carried with it the breath of annihilation powerful enough to call down heaven and earth. Where the sword light passed, the void collapsed, air reversed its flow.
Threads of blood within the space shattered like a broken mirror, falling piece by piece, and soon the entire blood-colored Sword Domain completely collapsed, revealing the lake, green mountains, and willows all around.
Ning Xuan stood in place, pale, corners of his mouth lifting in a bitter smile, "Lin Mo... you actually managed to break my Sword Domain."
Lin Mo shook his head indifferently again, with a hint of regret in his eyes, "The cultivation resources on Earth are not enough, the techniques are incomplete. With your talent, if you had enough cultivation resources, becoming a supreme warrior in the future wouldn't be difficult. It's truly a pity."
As Lin Mo spoke, Ning Xuan lowered his head to see the three-foot Blood Blade in his hand cracking inch by inch before falling into the lake, the Blood Sword destroyed.
A golden mark the length of a finger appeared at the center of Ning Xuan's forehead, emitting a golden light.
This sword severed the Asura Blood Sea and at the same time also severed Ning Xuan's divine soul.
With the divine soul extinguished, the god dies and the way fades.
Ning Xuan sank into the heart of the lake, filled with deep unwillingness, dying only to finally understand how much he deserved it. If he hadn't been so set on opposing Lin Mo, perhaps with a few more decades of cultivation, he could have stood at the peak of Earth.
The Azure Dragon dead, Ning Hong dead, Ning Xuan dead, the Black Witch Sect fleeing, Great Ming Lake returned to peace, with only one person proudly standing under the heavens.
"Yay, master won," Yingzi's small face revealed a trace of excitement.
"Mo," Xia Mengdie's brows held a few glistening tears.
Su Gongyang and the others all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. With Lin Mo eliminating the Azure Dragon, the crisis facing the Joy Sect and the Su Family was also averted. Moreover, the Su Family had intricate ties with Lin Mo, and even if Lin Mo himself did not acknowledge it, others would still fear him.
"So impressive," Su Xiaoxiao's clear eyes shone brightly.
The martial artists by the lakeside stood agape.
In the end, Lin Mo triumphed, with the accomplishments of killing the Azure Dragon, Ning Hong, Ning Xuan, and routing the Black Witch Sect.
Lin Mo slowly walked towards the lakeside, as numerous martial artists revealed looks of reverence and bowed their heads, welcoming the return of the king.
"Master."
"Mo."
Lin Mo took Xia Mengdie's small hand, ruffled Yingzi's hair, his face showing a tender smile.
Laughing as he drank the blood of his enemies, he left with a sleeve flick, his achievements and fame deeply concealed.
The underground forums erupted in shock!
The Su Family held a banquet for three days and nights. The Three Great Families of the Northeast came to offer their congratulations. The Clan Leaders of the Chai, Feng, and Qi Families even knelt at the gate of the Su Family home but in the end, did not gain an audience with Lin Mo. However, Lin Mo sent only a message through the maid Yingzi:
"Matters of the mundane world do not concern me."
The Clan Leaders of the Three Great Families finally breathed a sigh of relief, and left behind numerous properties, land deeds, and company shares before departing.
In the Northeast, the name Lin Mo was renowned!
Lin Mo stayed at the Su Family for three days to sort through the treasures obtained from Flood Dragon Valley. Among them, he prepared several stalks of Spirit Grass to refine genuine Qi Gathering Pills for his parents, Xia Mengdie, and Yingzi, to aid in their cultivation.
Especially for Xia Mengdie, the yin energy in her body grew increasingly heavy. Even though she cultivated the Qi Cultivation Technique, she would occasionally feel a piercing coldness throughout her body.
Lin Mo stood in the hall, surrounded by superpower users and big shots. Yet at this moment, everyone's faces were filled with respect and awe.
Su Gongyang's face beamed with joy. The Su Family had been declining over the past decade, and it had been many years since the main family enjoyed such glory. Naturally, the old man was overjoyed.
"Xiaoxiao, if you like Lin Mo, I'd be willing to betroth you to him as a concubine; that would be your good fortune," Su Gongyang said to Su Xiaoxiao.
Upon hearing her grandfather's words, Su Xiaoxiao's face turned red, and she looked down, not speaking.
Su Xiaoxiao's parents were sitting nearby, and their expressions changed slightly.
Their daughter was the beauty of her school, intelligent and a heavenly beauty. Now Su Gongyang actually suggested that their daughter become Lin Mo's concubine—how could this be acceptable!
"Dad, Xiaoxiao is still young, and Lin Mo is already married. If people found out that she became a concubine, where would our Su Family's face go?" Su Xiaoxiao's father said.
"Hmph, you still have the face to say that," Su Gongyang's face showed anger:
"If you had been successful, would I have had to worry so much for the Su Family? Disgraceful! You didn't even notice that so many people from the large families want to send their precious daughters to Lin Mo, and he didn't even spare them a glance."
Su Xiaoxiao's parents hung their heads in shame.
Indeed, over these three days, Clan Leaders from large families in the Northeast brought their most beautiful and talented young women, including an under-eighteen young girl, hoping to make them Lin Mo's concubines. However, Lin Mo had rejected them all.
Su Xiaoxiao sighed, her face showing a trace of sadness.
Lin Mo was a dazzling figure of the age, single-handedly rising to the top in Jiangnan, overpowering Guangdong and Guangxi, and dominating the Northeast. How many in Huaxia could stand shoulder to shoulder with him?
What woman wouldn't want her man to be so imposing?
Outside in the courtyard during the day, Xia Mengdie stood under a tree covered with snow, dressed in a white down coat, holding a translucent, white Jade Token with a lifelike fish engraved on it.
Watching Lin Mo being surrounded by everyone, Xia Mengdie's lips curled into a faint smile, "I feel as if my memory has been on the decline."
Speaking, Xia Mengdie clutched the White Jade Token, her clear eyes revealing a steadfast look, "But I will definitely remember you."
"Sister Mengdie, what are you doing here?" Yingzi, having had a few glasses of red wine, sported flushes on her cheeks and a slight drunkenness in her eyes.
"Why did you run off to drink?" Sister Mengdie frowned, took her by the hand, and a helpless smile appeared on her lovely face; by now, she truly regarded Yingzi as her own sister.
"If I'm ever not by Lin Mo's side in the future, you must take good care of him for me," Xia Mengdie suddenly said.
Blushing, Yingzi laughed and said, "Sister Mengdie, what are you talking about? Why wouldn't you be by the Master's side?"
Xia Mengdie smiled and bit her lip, saying, "I was just making an analogy."
In the underground forum, the news of Lin Mo defeating the Azure Dragon, Joy Sect, and Black Witch Sect was sweeping through the forum like a hurricane.
Even many reclusive big shots paid attention to the forum's updates, but many eyes were on Lin Mo's departure from Flood Dragon Valley—that was one of Huaxia's secret treasures. Lin Mo must have carried out a vast number of treasures from within.
Numerous Martial Arts Families, Magic Sects, and Superpower organizations were attempting to calculate Lin Mo's abilities, or even beginning to develop plans to counter him.
