Unworthy

The Thirteenth Grand Protector felt somewhat powerless.

From the very beginning of the battle, the Thirteenth Grand Protector were convinced that this was the battle in which their luck was at its peak and their advantage was greatest.

But... even though he had been favored by fate many times, and even though his opponent had faced countless obstacles, he still charged towards him. To be honest, he even admired Bai Mo in front of him.

If I were faced with so many obstacles, I would have turned around and run away long ago.

No way, I can't possibly lose! He's been fighting for so long, this is definitely his last bit of strength! No, he's definitely bluffing. 510,000 horses fighting for so long, how could he still have any traffic?!

Reason and intuition whispered that this was a bloody truth, but the Thirteenth Grand Protector refused to believe it! They stubbornly denied this conclusion!

"Asura Rebirth Art!"

The Thirteenth Grand Protector roared, and then the body of the Heaven and Earth Demon God suddenly appeared, engulfed in flames. There was no time to worry about anything else now! Perhaps my attack wouldn't achieve the desired effect, but I was only one step away from final victory; how could I give up!

"Go to hell!"

The blood vessels in the Thirteenth Grand Protector ' bodies swelled to the size of their wrists, eventually converging at their chests. He was using this body as fuel to power the Heaven and Earth Sea Tiger Sword in a desperate gamble!

The Great Blade Martial God beside him said to Bai Mo:

"Kid, that divine core probably won't be able to work now. You already knew this move, did you find a way to counter it?"

Bai Mo's eyes remained calm and unwavering as he nodded slightly.

The Thirteenth Grand Protector couldn't hear this exchange, and with the arrow already on the bowstring, he had no choice but to release it!

"Ninety Heavens Power - Heaven and Earth Sea Tiger Sword!"

510,000 horsepower -- Sea Tiger Exploding Fist!

510,000 pieces -- the Selfless Demon Blade!

The sky and earth changed color, and the smoke within the Nega Genesis instantly dissipated. Two beams of light, each ten thousand feet long, emerged, and the power of both sides erupted at this moment, as if to split the entire Mesopotamia plain in two!

The onlookers were all horrified; the aftershocks of the collision tore open the dome of the Underworld.

"Wow! No, the force of the clash is too great, I'm going to be blown away."

"Boss, give me a hand!"

A citizen who was not holding on to the stone pillar was lifted high into the air by this force, and his whole body flew directly into the sky like a bird.

"Oh no, am I going to fall and die? No, I have to hold on! I haven't seen the end yet, I don't want to die like this!"

But soon, the spectator's eyes narrowed as he saw the two released forces begin to shift, their angles slowly contracting towards Uruk.

I see, I understand.

He closed his eyes and slowly said, "It was worth it."

The Thirteenth Grand Protector grinned maliciously. With the Ninety Heavens and the burning of life force, they did indeed suppress Bai Mo in terms of power. Just when they thought the situation was settled, they discovered that Bai Mo still had a smile on his face.

What is he laughing at?

Bai Mo slowly opened his free left hand, where a small sphere formed by condensed air currents was visible.

Isn't this the charged-up form of the Heaven and Earth Sea Tiger Sword? But why is a little bit of charged-up power not enough? What's the point of this?

The next moment, the sphere in Bai Mo's hand transformed into two distinct vortexes, spinning continuously. Then, a crisp sound rang out as they collided.

A white, thread-like streak appeared amidst the cyclones—a vacuum blade created by the collision.

This tiny vacuum blade, like scissors cutting through white paper or a sharp blade slicing across water, effortlessly passed through the Sea Tiger Heaven and Earth Sword without any effect, as if it were an illusion created by the Thirteenth Grand Protector.

Ah--

As the light faded, Arcueid and the others arrived at the battlefield. [Nega Genesis] still existed. The Thirteenth Grand Protector needed Tiamat's life force, and Bai Mo also wanted to channel the power into the sky. Therefore, neither of them harmed Tiamat.

But the Reality Marble stopped spreading, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the Thirteenth Grand Protector ' eyes were filled with incomprehensible astonishment. At this moment, his head was held in Bai Mo's hand.

"How could this be... No way, my Heaven and Earth Sea Tiger Sword couldn't have been lost like this... What... is this?"

The Thirteenth Grand Protector murmured as if they had lost their souls, completely unable to accept the outcome. In the final battle, his Heaven and Earth Sea Tiger Sword was broken by Bai Mo's unexpected move, and he was beheaded by the Vacuum Blade.

Bai Mo, holding the heads of the Thirteenth Grand Protector, said coldly:

"After fighting for so long, I've found a way to counter your Sea Tiger Heaven and Earth Sword. You're just unlucky, really, because this move is somewhat similar to the one I've been practicing."

The Ryougi Lataib can, to some extent, counteract the explosive power of the Sea Tiger Exploding Fist, therefore the Thirteenth Grand Protector will certainly not choose the Sea Tiger Exploding Fist as their final move.

During the fierce battle, Bai Mo was also distracted, searching for a way to counter the Heaven and Earth Sea Tiger Sword. In the end, relying on his understanding of the techniques from Dark Reincarnation, combined with his Complete Realm and the martial arts knowledge of the Tiandao Giant Shark, he succeeded.

Rather than calling it a solution, it's more accurate to say that it's a further advancement based on the Heaven and Earth Sea Tiger Sword.

Using this as a surprise attack, they beheaded the Thirteenth Grand Protector in one fell swoop.

Inside the Strongman Space, Oga raised an eyebrow in surprise at this scene and said:

"By colliding two forces, instead of using the accumulated power for offense, we use it as a driving force. The real killing move is the extremely thin Vacuum Sword Blade that is constantly honed in the collision."

In another space, Tiandao also put down his teacup and jokingly said to the sky:

"Oga, this move was partly inspired by the Vacuum Sword Blade you used, wasn't it? I was worried before that Bai Mo would be influenced by you and have his mind filled with the Orca Tyrant Fist, but now I'm relieved."

Outside, Bai Mo pressed down on the Thirteenth Grand Protector ' heads, and cracks appeared on Thirteenth Grand Protector skulls. His eyes were filled with resentment as he muttered:

"I'm not reconciled! How could this happen? If I had known... I wouldn't have bothered with Tiamat, I should have just left..."

Feeling their protective power crumble bit by bit, the Thirteenth Grand Protector were utterly helpless, feeling like fish on a chopping board, as if they had returned to that painful day.

Tick-tock, despair brought two lines of tears to his eyes. Thirteenth Grand Protector felt his consciousness was extremely blurred. He struggled to open his eyes and looked at Bai Mo.

A piercing pain shot through his brain, and his vision blurred completely with tears and despair. In his delirium, Bai Mo's figure twisted and became a familiar person in his dying hallucination.

He spoke slowly, his tone humble, as if he had returned to the day he was killed by Bai Wunan, pleading:

"Nephew... Fourth Uncle was wrong, can you... turn back?"

At this moment, the Thirteenth Grand Protector were no longer as arrogant as before; they resembled pitiful people sentenced to death, uttering their final pleas for mercy.

Inside the Martial God Space, Bai Wunan's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing these words. Even he hadn't expected his fourth uncle's last words to be like this.

Bai Mo, however, remained expressionless, even increasing the pressure in his hands. He simply snorted coldly:

"You dare say that?"

Bai Mo spoke coldly, his voice like the cold wind blowing outside a window in the dead of winter. Upon hearing this, the Thirteenth Grand Protector seemed to choke, their expressions freezing.

"To murder your own brother, to betray the family who trusted you, and to shamelessly use blood ties to justify yourself."

You are nothing but a cowardly, treacherous beast who bullies the weak and fears the strong. The reason you betrayed us is simply because you saw the trust and affection your blood relatives had for you as their weakness!

Suddenly, Bai Mo unleashed a Blade of Hell from his palm, piercing deep into his brain.

Even with a second chance, you still treat others' kindness as a resource to be exploited. You ingrate! Do you really wish Bai Wunan would revert to the Wind Clan Wunan he once was?

"Then can you turn back into the Bai Lubao you used to be, Thirteenth Grand Protector?"

With a swift squeeze, the Thirteenth Grand Protector ' heads instantly shattered. A faint light appeared in Bai Mo's hand, absorbing their Primordial Spirit into the Martial God Space. Finally, Bai Mo coldly said to him:

"You brought this upon yourself. You were just afraid of suffering a fate worse than death again, so you prayed for the return of that kind-hearted Bai Wunan."

The Thirteenth Grand Protector were no longer speaking; their expressions were twisted, like an old dog whose spine had been broken, lost and dejected as it was absorbed and disappeared.

Just as Bai Mo said, it was he, and everyone in that era, who killed the once kind Bai Wunan, and then on his corpse, Xie Bai was born.

He knew he was going to die, so he prayed, praying that the demon that tormented him would turn back. But he never considered whether he deserved the forgiveness of Bai Wunan.

Now, Bai Mo has torn away his "Bai Lubao" facade, revealing his ugliness in its entirety and giving him the most direct answer.

You don't deserve it.
