Light and Shadow (6)
A massive influx of sensory information assaulted Li Mo's mind, plunging him into a jumble of chaotic information. His body stiffened uncontrollably in place, while Ke Su, who had been prepared all along, immediately launched his counter-attack.
A year ago, Li Mo's lungs were injured by Ke Su. At that time, a Ke Su's aura remained in his lungs. This trace of aura has been deeply hidden in Li Mo's body, and now it has become the key to Ke Su's victory over Li Mo.
Ke Su moved with such speed that he seemed to transform into a phantom, instantly arriving in front of Li Mo. He amplified his aura with the short sword, and through the connection between their auras, he pierced through Li Mo's chest in an instant.
Li Mo opened his eyes, looking at the incredibly aged face before him. He swiftly raised both hands, grabbing Ke Su's Short Blade to stop Ke Su from further manipulating it. Sensing the long-hidden aura within his chest, he suddenly understood something, saying with a mixture of surprise and relief, "You knew all along that I was hiding there?"
"This question is meaningless!" Ke Su maintained an expressionless face, tightening his grip on the Short Blade, causing bright red blood to flow from Li Mo's hand that was gripping the blade.
A year ago, Li Mo used the death of his shadow clone to buy time to escape. At that time, he himself was hanging on the other side of the mountain. He thought he was lucky that no one found him. But today, the aura in his chest clearly told him that others might not have found him. As the owner of this aura, Ke Su could not have missed it.
The only possibility is that Ke Su, for some unknown reason, let Li Mo go after he had clearly defected from Holy Sight Mountain. Unfortunately, a year later, the two still had to fight to the death.
It's all meaningless now. No matter what, Li Mo has led the Shadow Cult to attack Holy Sight Mountain and has killed Ke Su's junior brother, Ling Ge's father, Ling Piaoluo, without hesitation. The two must fight to the death.
A pale blue figure flashed by, and Ling Ge appeared beside the two. At this moment, Li Mo revealed a bitter smile. He knew he had lost. After killing Ling Piaoluo, Ling Ge would not let him go. He had been too arrogant. Yao Ge's tender eyes flashed through his mind. Perhaps the promise he had made to her could no longer be fulfilled.
A crisp bell rang, Li Mo knew that Yao Ge was rushing towards him, but there wasn't enough time. To his surprise, what Ling Ge pulled out wasn't a weapon, but something he was very familiar with: a piece of wood with a burning, Black Day on it.
Furthermore, Li Mo faintly sensed a familiar aura from that Black Day, an aura from a long time ago, like the embrace of a childhood friend.
"Li Wen! Ling Ge, you..." Ke Su couldn't help but exclaim, reminding Li Mo of what that aura was. It was the aura of his father, Li Wen, and this Black Day seemed as if Li Wen were alive.
In fact, the raw material for this Black Day, or rather, the Artificial Protagonist Halo, was most of Li Wen's existence. Having cultivated the power of shadow, Li Wen had almost fallen into Lu Li's spider web. After his unexpected death, his existence was completely drained by Lu Li.
With a little modification, it could have been used to create a powerful spirit body, but Lu Li kept it until recently when it was transformed into another Artificial Protagonist Halo and given to Ling Ge.
The protagonist's halo shone brightly in Ling Ge's eyes. Li Mo felt a sharp pain in the halo on his chest. A slightly smaller, Black Day was peeled away from Li Mo's chest. Li Mo recognized it as the protagonist's halo of the former high priest, which he had always thought he had completely absorbed.
"As expected, that thing was right. Senior brother, I will definitely rescue you from the power of shadow." Ling Ge was certain in her heart that the information Lu Li told her was true. The fourth round of the Black Day was created on the basis of the first three rounds of the Black Day, and it had the power to restrain and absorb the power of the first three rounds of the Black Day.
The former high priest had a close connection with Li Wen and was considered half-ownerless, so he was the first to be drawn out. Then it was Li Mo, his son. The Black Day on his chest also began to become unstable, and all his shadow power was gathered into the Black Day and began to peel away.
Li Mo's Shadow Armor began to crumble, and his power rapidly diminished. At this moment, Ke Su only needed to exert force to Li Mo, but Ke Su's current situation was no better than Li Mo's.
The Black Day also had a mark on his chest, with the seals on it breaking one by one. You should know that this Black Day had been on Ke Su for eleven years. If it weren't for the seal, Lu Li would have assimilated Ke Su long ago. Once the seal was broken, it was a counterattack that had been accumulating for eleven years. Ke Su was even able to stand up by holding onto the short knife stuck in Li Mo's body.
The bells were still ringing urgently, getting closer but not fast. Clearly, Yao Ge was being held back by someone. Sheng Heng, who was even closer, had suffered further internal injuries after unleashing his mental attack. His condition was probably worse than Li Mo Ke Su's. As a result, it would be difficult for anyone else to arrive here in the short term.
After absorbing the halo of the former high priest, the Black Day in Ling Ge shone even brighter. Li Mo smiled bitterly; this was more painful than killing him. Without the power of shadow, he was practically a cripple.
However, things did not go according to his will. The Black Day in his chest was eventually stripped away, along with most of the shadow power, and Integration into the fourth Black Day in Ling Ge's body.
The Black Day in Ling Ge seemed to truly transform into a sun, and Ling Ge, holding this sun, began to grow dark patterns on her body. With a sickly smile on her face, she said, "Senior brother, I have finally rescued you. I have eliminated the demon that killed Father."
"But senior brother, you've been so disobedient, leaving for so long. It really makes me, your junior sister, very sad. And don't think I don't know you were exchanging glances with that woman in black. It's only been a year."
"But now it's all right. I'm going to kill that woman who seduced you, and you'll be completely ruined. You can't live without me anymore. Shall we go back to how we used to be, enjoying the view from the mountaintop?"
Ling Ge's expression completely collapsed. Her eyes widened, and her face was filled with a sickly look. The shadow power on her body materialized and emerged from her body, forming tentacles that moved towards Li Mo.
Ke Su watched this scene with utter sorrow. It was all his fault; he had driven everything to this point. If only he had kept a closer eye on Ling Ge and the others, if only he hadn't let Li Mo go, if only he hadn't acted so rashly that day, if only he had given Li Mo his approval from the beginning... But alas, there are no "ifs."
Yandere and stuff... cough cough
