Chapter 586: A Strike Beyond the Peak
Chapter 586: A Strike Beyond the Peak
Be resourceful, good at hiding, don't make trouble, and don't cause trouble.
There's a reason this fox has lived so long and is so strong. And judging by its surprising number of survival techniques: shadow puppetry, the Tengu visualization diagram, the Wanyi compass, and even a dieffenbachia, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
He is a fox who is good at hiding. If he had not met Bai Ze, he could have hidden himself forever.
In this way, Bai Ze is really the nemesis of all this.
Bugs are real bugs. Regardless of strength, they know absolutely everything. It's terrifying. It's a miracle that Bai Ze is still alive. Those innate gods would never want others to know their weaknesses, so the dead Bai Ze is the good Bai Ze.
This is an opportunity, but also a trouble.
If it weren't for Su Mu's reputation, Yan Chao would probably be in chaos by now. Su Mu didn't understand why the world would create an omniscient innate god.
Although this is just pseudo-omniscience, knowing but not understanding.
Of course, now wasn't the time to consider Bai Ze's problem. Millions of souls were constantly crawling out of Su Qingtu's body. Xuan Mo had already sealed off the surrounding space, but the number was simply too great. Even the storm was being torn apart by the sheer number of souls.
Still pouring out, they kept hitting the boundaries of space.
Xuan Mo had already exhausted all his means, yet he couldn't kill them all. The golden lightning roamed, turning everything it touched to ash. But even so, the deaths of thousands and tens of thousands were a drop in the bucket.
These ghosts are strong and weak.
The powerful ones even saw several dragons, and monsters fused together with tens of thousands of souls. The weaker ones looked like ordinary humans. But these souls of those who died in vain were all strengthened. It was truly a loss of ten thousand for eight hundred. They'd sacrificed their lives for such a small trouble. What? Was he going to die anyway? That's fine then.
They can't be killed, they can't be killed at all.
"Look carefully," Su Mu said, giving him some pointers. Xuan Mo hadn't experienced much. How could this fox, with all the tricks it could use to save its life, want to die together with him? It was impossible.
Xuan Mo understood immediately and looked over.
He truly saw something different in this endless sea of ghosts. Xuan Mo was already a bit angry, and now he felt even more fooled. This convoluted scheme was so far-fetched that he nearly died from it.
Su Mu hadn't noticed it at first. With so many souls, who would bother identifying them? If it weren't for the limited strength of these souls, a mutual destruction would be too weak. A self-destruction would be more powerful, and perhaps it would give Xuan Mo a hard time.
What's more, just a second ago, Xuan Mo had displayed his supreme mastery of space, and now he was using this trick. Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary. He spent some time to observe, and he really was fooled. This was extraordinary acting, truly, this fox is a talent. Anyone who saw it would look like they didn't want to live anymore. His brain was also very sharp.
However, it doesn’t matter if you are cheated, you will die anyway.
Ever since Su Qingtu's physical body died, Xuan Mo felt the presence of the Fire Spear again. He looked at the endless stream of souls and said, "Tell me what you are, and I will kill them one by one. There may be tens of thousands of them, but I have plenty of time."
The voice just fell.
All the squirming spirits paused, or rather froze, for a moment. Most people wouldn't notice, but Xuan Mo and Su Mu weren't ordinary people; no clue escaped their gaze. Even Su Mu was speechless. So, every one of these was him. No wonder he wasn't afraid of being swatted to death. He was truly a fox.
Su Qingtu tried to get away with it, but then he found that Xuan Mo's eyes were getting colder and colder. He was still trying to fool him.
"This farce should end," Su Mu sighed. This fox had countless tricks up his sleeve. Rather than drag it out here, it was better to cut the Gordian knot and eliminate the trouble once and for all. This was enough for now; let Xuan Mo suffer a setback. His path was too smooth, possessing both formidable strength and the legacy of the dragon clan.
There is almost no possibility of being humiliated, he is simply the chosen one.
But there are always people who are better than you. One day, sooner or later, it will happen.
Instead of this, it would be better for him to realize first: Don't underestimate any opponent, even if they are weaker than you. Is he as strong as Su Qingtu? He is not that strong in front of Xuan Mo. With the support of the water veins, he can easily kill the opponent.
Yet, he is also so powerful that he can mask his ruthlessness with brutality, using acting so exquisite he can even deceive himself, playing the fool and eating the tiger. His personality is volatile, unpredictable, yet when necessary, he can exploit opportunities to achieve his goals. It's no surprise that such a being could achieve such success.
Such an opponent is very scary, much scarier than some straightforward and powerful beings.
If Su Mu had not been there, Xuan Mo would have been fooled by the other party and would have escaped in a moment of carelessness.
Xuan Mo has strength and experience, but little actual combat experience. Experience can handle most situations, but experience is not omnipotent, such as now.
Even trapped, this old fox was still plotting his escape. But this time, Xuan Mo was much smarter. He seemed to be venting his anger at Su Qingtu, but in reality, he was gathering strength. He was looking for a chance to strike a fatal blow. Unfortunately, with so many souls, he never had a good opportunity. This was a matter of strength.
For this, the battle can be ended here.
Su Mu called a halt to the farce. Su Qingtu and Xuan Mo both looked at Su Mu. Xuan Mo looked aggrieved, while Su Qingtu was solemn, a solemnity never before seen. He hadn't forgotten Su Mu; the one who had been watching from the sidelines was the key to this battle.
Now, at this moment, this man was about to strike. Su Qingtu knew in his heart that this was a fight to the death. Unlike before, this was a gamble on his life. Life or death, it all depended on that split second.
Countless vengeful spirits began to gather together, forming a human-like fox-headed nine-tailed figure, but in the form of a soul. This happened almost instantly. Su Qingtu took action, and when Xuan Mo looked at Su Mu's grievance.
The power of the spirit descended upon reality. He nearly drained the entire strength of these countless souls to deliver this single blow. Unlike previous attempts at mutual destruction, this time he didn't resort to any trickery, instead striking with the determination to succeed or die.
This strike broke through space. It could be said to be a pinnacle strike.
With Su Qingtu, it would be impossible for him to launch such a breakthrough attack in hundreds of years. This was the only time and a desperate one.
Therefore, this attack also exceeded the original level and exceeded the limit of the peak demon. Su Mu had to deal with this attack seriously.
