Chapter 18: Brother? Are you talking about him?
In the depths of the stronghold.
The scene was a complete mess, with trenches crisscrossing everywhere.
Cheng Qingman and the other two were still alive, but they looked utterly miserable.
Especially Jiang Hai.
His right shoulder was empty, blood gushing incessantly.
The aura around him was extremely weak, yet he still gritted his teeth and held on!
“No wonder you are inner palace disciples; your strength is truly formidable!”
Mo Luo applauded.
Despite being surrounded by so many peers, they were still able to hold on until now.
Especially Cheng Qingman.
No wonder she was the descendant of the Bloodbrave Marquis.
She actually grew stronger in battle.
This startled him a little.
“The demonic path indeed produces nothing but trash; so many of them, yet they are all useless!”
Cheng Qingman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said coldly, “Quite the sharp tongue; I hope you can keep that smile of yours for what comes next.”
Mo Luo prepared to strike with all his might.
He would no longer hold back.
If he delayed any further, the elder hiding in the shadows might not be pleased.
Immediately, the gigantic meteor hammer in his hand began to shake.
An overwhelming sense of pressure surged forth like a tide, enveloping Cheng Qingman and the others.
The expressions of the three instantly changed.
They were all too aware of their situation.
They were already at the end of their rope.
Dealing with the remaining demonic martial artists was already difficult, let alone Mo Luo!
This guy was truly insidious.
He was clearly strong enough, yet he still sent his subordinates in first, wearing down their strength and hidden cards one by one.
Only when they were completely exhausted did he strike with full force.
Tap!
Suddenly, footsteps sounded.
Not too heavy, not too light, neither fast nor slow.
Mo Luo halted.
He thought it was his brother, Luo Sha, returning.
Without turning around, he said, “Luo Sha, you’ve come, though a bit late. But you’ve made it in time. Did you know we caught a big fish today!”
“The daughter of the Bloodbrave Marquis!”
“Bringing her head back will be enough for us to secure a bright future!”
As he spoke, Mo Luo’s voice grew increasingly excited.
However, after a long pause, he received no response, causing him to frown slightly.
He couldn’t help but turn around.
His eyes narrowed immediately.
For the figure before him was not his brother, but an extremely unfamiliar silhouette!
The newcomer was tall, with a long sword at their side, and their white robe was already stained red with blood.
“Who are you?”
Mo Luo’s brows shot up.
“Luo Shidi, run! This is a trap!”
Cheng Qingman saw Luo Mu arrive, initially stunned, then urgently shouted.
Although Luo Mu had the potential to be invincible among peers, his current realm was still too low; he could never be Mo Luo’s opponent!
Looking at this scene and hearing these words, Luo Mu felt an intense sense of déjà vu.
It was just like when he first met Cheng Qingman, nearly the same scene. He didn’t expect there to be a second time.
“Brother? Are you talking about him?”
Luo Mu removed the head from his waist and threw it towards Mo Luo.
Bang!
The head hit the ground, rolling several times before stopping, resting right at Mo Luo’s feet.
Mo Sha’s eyes were wide open, filled with resentment as he stared at Mo Luo.
“Brother!!!”
Mo Luo snapped back to reality, his eyes instantly filled with rage as he roared.
He picked up Mo Sha’s head, tears welling in his eyes.
In this world, he had only one relative left—his brother!
He had once sworn to protect Mo Sha with his life!
But now, Mo Sha’s head had been taken!
This scene left Cheng Qingman and the others in shock.
Mo Luo’s brother, named Mo Sha, was a True Aperture Realm seventh level warrior. Although he was not as strong as Mo Luo, he certainly wasn’t far behind!
Yet now, Mo Sha was actually dead!
Dead at… Luo Mu’s hands!
The three felt an absurdity; after all, Luo Mu was only at the second level of the True Aperture Realm!
“I will kill you!”
“Kill you!”
Mo Luo glared at Luo Mu, his eyes bloodshot and hysterical.
“What are you still standing there for!”
Mo Luo suddenly looked at the seven subordinates who were still alive.
They were all at the sixth level of the True Aperture Realm.
Even though Mo Sha was dead, Mo Luo still seemed to maintain a degree of calmness, or rather, it was habitual for him to let his subordinates test the waters first.
The six exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and charged towards Luo Mu.
“Interesting.”
Luo Mu’s lips curled slightly.
He drew his sword directly from its sheath.
The Broken Blade Technique!
Seventy strands of blade energy surged from within him, transforming into a giant, menacing wheel of blades that tore through the seven charging warriors in an instant!
In that moment, blood rained down.
The ground was… drenched in crimson!
Mo Luo touched a piece of flesh on his face, seeming to still be in a daze.
But he quickly snapped back to reality.
All the anger inside him vanished, leaving only shock!
He had no idea what he was witnessing!
Those were seven True Aperture Realm sixth-level experts, yet they had all been killed in one strike by a mere second-level boy!
No bones left!
Cheng Qingman and the others were also in a state of shock.
Their mouths slightly agape.
Peh, peh, peh!
Lin Ruyue hurriedly spat out the toes that had fallen into her mouth, trembling all over. She had killed before, but this scene of brutality was truly a first for her!
“Was that the Lifeless Blade Energy? A full seventy strands?!”
Jiang Hai murmured.
In the realm of mid-tier Xuan-ranked techniques, the “Lifeless Blade Scripture” was very famous, as it was one of the strongest mid-tier Xuan-ranked martial arts.
But due to its extreme difficulty to cultivate, over time, no one dared to touch it.
When he previously heard that Luo Mu had chosen this technique, he had secretly ridiculed him, thinking he was another overly self-important person.
In the coming years, he would be stuck, unable to progress because of the “Lifeless Blade Scripture”!
But what was happening before his eyes shattered his worldview.
Seventy strands of blade energy!
Equivalent to having practiced the “Lifeless Blade Scripture” to…
“The Realm of Great Success!”
Cheng Qingman swallowed, her watery beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
Given Luo Mu’s breakthrough to the True Aperture Realm timeline, the time he had to obtain the “Lifeless Blade Scripture” surely did not exceed ten days!
And in such a short time, he reached… Great Success?
Wasn’t that talent and comprehension too terrifying?
Far more outrageous than mastering the “Absolute Blade Technique” in half a month!
