Brutally Killing Lin Mo

Chapter 44: Brutally Killing Lin Mo

Li Xuan stood where he was, calmly watching Lin Mo before him. Facing the incoming whip, he unhurriedly snapped his fingers.

At the same time as the snap, Lin Mo let out a pained cry.

"Ah!"

A sudden, piercing pain struck Lin Mo's chest. His Martial Soul whip instantly spun out of control and dissolved into Soul Power, dispersing into the air. Li Xuan was not struck by the whip.

"You... what exactly did you do to me?" Lin Mo wailed in agony. His entire body was shrouded in scorching heat, and the intense pain combined with his agitation nearly drove him to collapse.

"Do you think I'd tell you that? I'm a timid person. If I hadn't made thorough preparations, would I have confronted you head-on?" Li Xuan spread his hands and said with a grin.

"It's too hot! Too hot!" Lin Mo painfully tore at his clothes and dropped to his knees. His eyes seemed to spit fire as he glared at Li Xuan, filled with fury and pain.

"Enjoy it slowly. I have plenty of time. The Burning Heart Clarifying Spirit Flame will use your Heart Fire as fuel. Only when your Heart Fire burns out will your life end amid pain. Don't worry, it'll only take a few hours. It won't be too long." Li Xuan lowered his gaze and spoke to Lin Mo in a somewhat flippant tone.

The last time Li Xuan had used the Dark Domain Ghost Orchid to confuse Lin Mo, he had casually left a Burning Heart Seal on Lin Mo's chest. Now, Li Xuan could activate the Burning Heart Seal and effortlessly ignite the Burning Heart Clarifying Spirit Flame within Lin Mo's body.

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

Lin Mo rolled around on the ground in increasing agony, madly tearing at his clothes as he did so.

Li Xuan stood to one side, calmly watching Lin Mo continue to writhe on the ground. He felt neither sorrow nor joy, remaining utterly indifferent.

If Li Xuan wanted to leave the Flower Sea safely, Lin Mo could not be allowed to survive.

After all, Lin Mo was the pawn Chrysanthemum Douluo had placed beside him to monitor him, watching his every move at all times.

After Cultivating the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Li Xuan needed to disappear for a few days. If Lin Mo remained alive and discovered that Li Xuan had vanished, he would surely contact Chrysanthemum Douluo. If that happened, Li Xuan feared he would not be able to escape.

That was why Li Xuan had set this trap to brutally kill Lin Mo.

Besides, Lin Mo had whipped the previous owner of this body to death. Li Xuan was also taking the opportunity to avenge him.

And so, Lin Mo was burned for more than two full hours before gradually falling silent. He knelt on the ground with hollow eyes, his face filled with pain and despair.

Li Xuan controlled the Burning Heart Clarifying Spirit Flame to burn Lin Mo's Heart Fire, not his physical body.

Thus, Lin Mo died only because his Heart Fire had been exhausted. His body had not suffered any damage.

Li Xuan inspected Lin Mo's corpse and confirmed that he had completely lost all signs of life. Only then did Li Xuan feel at ease.

"Forget it. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. You've suffered enough." After Li Xuan spoke, the Burning Heart Clarifying Spirit Flame appeared again. This time, however, it did not target Lin Mo's Heart Fire. Instead, it carried blazing heat and quickly reduced Lin Mo's corpse to ashes.

Only after watching Lin Mo completely turn into a pile of white bones did Li Xuan finally feel fully relieved.

Lin Mo had completely vanished. Next, Li Xuan needed to make preparations to leave the Flower Sea.

Lin Mo had not carried any money with him today, so the Gold Soul Coins should still be in the Supervisor Mansion.

Since Lin Mo had already sent away all the servants in the Supervisor Mansion, Li Xuan did not hold back. He openly began searching through the mansion.

After searching for most of the day, Li Xuan found several bags of Gold Soul Coins and several bags of seeds in the courtyard. There were not many, and they appeared to be Lin Mo's private stash.

Just then, Li Xuan actually discovered a hidden chamber.

It was beneath the artificial rockery in the rear courtyard.

He had no idea which former supervisor had left behind this treasure.

After activating the mechanism, a series of rattling chains sounded, and a concealed door leading to the hidden chamber slowly opened.

Li Xuan considered it for a moment, then threw several stones inside.

The stones clattered down the stairs, but did not trigger any mechanisms.

Only then did Li Xuan feel safe enough to descend the steps.

Before long, Li Xuan reached the end of the staircase. Inside was a hidden chamber of modest size.

However, at the center of the chamber stood a small mountain of Gold Soul Coins.

"Whose hidden chamber is this? How much wealth did they plunder? There are actually so many Gold Soul Coins here!" Li Xuan looked at the coins with delighted surprise.

After leaving the Flower Sea, he would need money everywhere. With this pile of Gold Soul Coins supporting him, Li Xuan could live freely and comfortably for a long time to come.

So Li Xuan did not stand on ceremony. He crouched down, opened the Void Pearl, and began swiftly storing the Gold Soul Coins inside.

More than ten minutes later, Li Xuan had stored the entire small mountain of Gold Soul Coins in the Void Pearl.

Li Xuan estimated that the pile contained at least seventy or eighty thousand Gold Soul Coins. After putting all the coins away, two large chests still remained in the hidden chamber.

After some thought, Li Xuan did not open the two chests inside the chamber. Instead, he directly stored them in the Void Pearl, intending to inspect them carefully later.

Without the mountain of Gold Soul Coins or the two large chests, the hidden chamber suddenly seemed much emptier.

Li Xuan carefully searched the hidden chamber once more. Only after confirming that nothing else had been concealed did he leave.

Before departing, he thoughtfully closed the hidden chamber's door behind him.

Back in the courtyard, Li Xuan gathered the bones left after burning Lin Mo and threw them into the pond. Then he placed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in the middle of the courtyard.

Now that the Immortal Grade Spirit Plant had been Cultivated, its vitality would be exceptionally strong. Leaving it to grow freely in the courtyard would not pose any problem.

That said, this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was an extremely powerful immortal plant, and Li Xuan liked it very much. Yet this seed simply was not fated for him.

If Li Xuan wanted a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, it would be safer to obtain one from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Looking around, Li Xuan found nothing left in the Supervisor Mansion worth lingering over.

Li Xuan directly climbed over the wall, left the Supervisor Mansion, and headed toward the North District.

After carefully returning to his small courtyard, Li Xuan quietly locked the door, concealed the entrance to the basement once more, and only then entered it.

There was still a pot of Void Grass, a pot of Lucky Four-Leaf Clover, a pot of Dark Domain Ghost Orchid, and a pot of Starfire Vine in the basement.

Li Xuan would never abandon the Void Grass or the Lucky Four-Leaf Clover. After considering it carefully, he left behind the Starfire Vine's seeds. As for the other three plants, he could only find a backpack and carry the two or three flowerpots on his back.

Although the three flowerpots were somewhat heavy, Li Xuan's physical condition was quite good. Carrying the three pots of flowers, he headed deeper into the tunnel.

Before long, Li Xuan met up with Bai Wen. The two of them worked together to dig the tunnel, hoping to leave this place as soon as possible.

I revised it several times, but I'm still not fully satisfied. Sorry, everyone. I'll revise it again tomorrow. Good night, everyone.
