Light and Shadow (III)
Relying on the senses transmitted from the Fearless Blade, He Feng charged straight towards Li Mo in the very center. This was a plan that had been discussed from the beginning, and it was also the result of his consultation.
As a substitute for the Fearless Edge, He Feng was raised and taught by an elder from a young age. He understood from the beginning that there was a high probability that he would never be able to inherit the Sky Mark. As a substitute, he might become an instructor after a while and teach those peasants down the mountain.
He was unwilling, especially after hearing that Li Mo's father had betrayed the sect. He was even more unwilling to accept that the son of a traitor could openly occupy one of the most important inheritances of Holy Sight Mountain.
But resentment was useless. The date of the inheritance was getting closer and closer. Just when He Feng was preparing to give up his delusions and settle down to be an instructor, news came that An'a Li Mo had defected. No amount of joy could describe He Feng's feelings at that time.
However, after inheriting the Fearless Edge, he discovered that it was somewhat different from what he had expected. Putting aside the fact that the Dancing Blue, who was also a successor, never gave him a kind look, the arguments of the Holy Sight Mountain alone were unbearable for him.
Everyone in Holy Sight Mountain thought that He Feng was lucky to have gotten the position of heir, and they would often compare him to Li Mo to judge the difference between the two. He was regarded by everyone as a lucky kid.
Despite this, all his efforts over the years were ignored, and he was rendered useless. No matter what he did, it was all attributed to his good fortune in inheriting Sky Mark.
This experience left He Feng with a lingering resentment. When the Shadow Cult came to attack the mountain, he fought for the position of the main force in the assault on Li Mo during the battle plan. Of course, this was also because Fearless Edge possessed the ability to be the most suitable for the assault.
The Fearless Edge set of Sky Mark has four complementary abilities. At its core is the ability to materialize one's aura. When Ke Su interrogated Li Mo, his aura could directly knock Li Mo to the ground without affecting other disciples nearby. With a single palm strike, his aura could transform into a needle, piercing through Li Mo's body without Li Mo life.
He Feng's Manipulation over his aura was not as Ke Su's, but Ke Su was old after all. Although He Feng was not as Ke Su, he was young and vigorous, and his aura was extremely fierce. He used another ability of Fearless Edge on Li Mo, locking his aura on Li Mo. This lock allowed He Feng to break through the limit of speed and get to Li Mo's side, unleashing terrifying strength.
"My substitute?" Li Mo smiled slightly and said, "He doesn't look very promising. His presence isn't what you're expected to achieve!"
A terrifying aura erupted, and the force brought by the aura seemed to dissipate into nothingness. In the past year, Lu Li bored and studied the existence gap proposition he had previously discovered, so he immediately passed it on to his number one experimental subject Li Mo.
As the original successor of the Fearless Edge, he had already received certain training in aura. After becoming the leader of the Shadow Cult, Li Mo's aura was greatly enhanced. On the other hand, the artificial protagonist aura also has the function of collecting existence.
The strength of one's aura is closely related to the number of people one has. People of high status and power have connections with many people, and their own existence is amplified by these connections. Therefore, people of high status and power generally have a strong aura.
As Lu Li's artificial protagonist, Li Mo has connections with too many people. Coupled with the protagonist's powerful ability to collect existences, after practicing the aura cultivation method called the "Gap Method" passed down by Lu Li, although he does not have the Sky Mark of the Fearless Edge, he can still use aura to a certain extent.
He Feng charged towards Li Mo with great momentum, which was precisely the worst choice. The Black Day on Li Mo's chest rotated slightly. After absorbing the High Priest's artificial protagonist halo, Li Mo was like a true protagonist, possessing strong luck attributes.
However, unlike the High Priest, his ability to generate strong luck is passive and does not require consuming lifespan. It is constantly taking effect, otherwise the Shadow Cult would not have developed so smoothly. Of course, it also has the means to unleash its power proactively.
Whether it was due to sheer luck or not, the start of this battle at Holy Sight Mountain was exceptionally poor. Under Li Mo's immense aura, the operation of the Gap Method caused Li Mo's aura to flow back into He Feng's body, instantly freezing He Feng's body as he charged forward.
The immense aura surged into He Feng's body, seemingly freezing even his thoughts. However, He Feng did possess considerable skill; before being immobilized, he contracted his aura, transforming it into an absolute protective barrier in front of him.
Li Mo conjured a jet-black blade in his hand, unleashing terrifying power that sent He Feng flying backward. Li Mo then saw pale blue flames dancing around him as Ling Ge and his daughter appeared in the arena, their two Short Blade blocking Li Mo behind.
If He Feng could have stalled a little longer, Li Mo would have been in danger of being surrounded by three people. Unfortunately, without He Feng's restraint, Li Mo calmly turned around, lengthened the black blade in his hand, his hand trembled slightly, and forcefully cleaved out two Short Blades that were coming at him, then leaned forward.
A shockwave traveled along the weapons and into their bodies, temporarily paralyzing them. Li Mo didn't seize the opportunity to attack, but instead said in a nostalgic tone, "Junior Sister, it's been a long time."
"Li Mo ..." Ling Ge's mind stirred, and her already somewhat unstable aura became disordered.
With a smile on his face, Li Mo raised his long, black blade and slashed directly at Ling Piaoluo. Just as Ling Piaoluo was about to forcefully transform into blue flames to dodge, a clear bell rang from afar, and certain memories in Ling Piaoluo's mind were instantly magnified.
That was a year ago, when he first met Yao Ge, the seed of enchantment was planted in him. In a daze, Ling Piaoluo saw the wandering heroine from many years ago, the scene of her bright smile when he mustered up the courage to let her stay on Holy Sight Mountain. Then the memory shattered instantly. Ling Piaoluo only felt a chill on his neck.
Having understood something, Ling Piaoluo turned her head with difficulty to look at Ling Ge: "Don't..."
Blood splattered, covering Ling Ge's Ling Ge and making his body colder than ever before. Li Mo swiftly and decisively severed Ling Piaoluo's neck with a single stroke. His earlier greeting was merely to disrupt Ling Ge's breathing and prevent him from making a rescue.
One wrong step leads to another. Because He Feng failed to restrain them, their attack failed. And because the attack failed, Li Mo seized the opportunity and, together with Yao Ge in the distance, interfered with Ling Piaoluo's thoughts. He also interfered with Ling Ge's thoughts with his own words. In addition, Ling Piaoluo stripped Sky Mark of his abilities. Although he left some abilities behind, the activation of the abilities was still a step too slow, and so this scene occurred.
"You beast! Die!" A loud shout came from afar, and the green mist Li Mo's head was blown away. Li Mo looked up and saw a huge figure descending from the sky, carrying unparalleled power as it rushed towards him.
