Chương 246: Zhang Mo's death

There was silence between the two men for a while as Zhang Mo froze while Long Feng stared at him with cold indifference. Zhang Mo slowly lowered his head to his lower chest in disbelief. A single cut had appeared there on his chest, right above his Dantian. A terrifying sword energy rampaged through his Dantian, completely ruining it then flooding into his meridians and acupoints and destroying them as well. Within a few seconds, the years of cultivation Zhang Mo had spent to reach his current level was wasted!

His aura rapidly vanished, his cultivation leaving his body completely till he was reduced to a level even weaker than a complete mortal. Zhang Mo stood there blankly, seemingly unable to accept what just happened. Then he raised his head and glared at Long Feng with savage blood red eyes.

"Long Feng!!! You bastard! I'll kill you!" He roared and jumped at Long Feng without thinking. His cultivation! Crippled! Zhang Mo was rapidly losing his mind as he stopped reasoning at all. His Cultivation was his life, his purpose. Destroying his cultivation was worse than killing him after torturing him! Long Feng also knew this. And he knew that it was a bit too cruel to cripple someone's cultivation, but then again, Zhang Mo completely deserved it.

Just the number of mortals and innocence cultivators he has killed were enough to fill half of a province. Did such a person deserve any mercy? Facing Zhang Mo's mad state as he threw himself at him, Long Feng snorted and released his aura, completely freezing Zhang Mo's movement. Zhang Mo was now so weak that a rank one connate realm cultivator could beat him to an extent that his mother wouldn't recognize him.

"Bastard! I curse you to die a terrible death brat! I curse your family to die miserably! Your friends, everyone you care about will die in the most miserable way possible! I curse you Long Feng! You'll die a…" Zhang Mo rapidly cursed with blood red eyes when Long Feng cut him off with a single slap on his cheek. A few teeth instantly flew out of Zhang Mo's mouth accompanied by some blood.

"The souls you've killed are probably cursing you to die miserably right now." Long Feng spat icily as he glared at the dazed Zhang Mo. Zhang Mo regained his senses and laughed loudly"Bastard, kill me if you're a man! Go ahead! Stab me to death! I dare you!" Long Feng smiled at him, feeling slightly amused by Zhang Mo's taunts"You want me to kill you? Trust me, my hands itch to do that as well. But you won't die to my hands, nor my sword. Just wait patiently" Zhang Mo didn't relent.

He continued to roar at the top of his voice, shouting out curses, insults and taunts to Long Feng, trying to enrage the latter into killing him. But Long Feng simply ignored Zhang Mo and sat down calmly, waiting. Almost ten minutes later, a cold aura approached from the distance and rapidly rushed over, revealing Li Yue'er's figure. Despite her coldness, she was still shocked to find the middle aged man - Zhang Mo suspended weakly in the air as he unleashed a barrage of curses and insults from his bloody mouth.

While Long Feng sat there indifferently with his eyes closed, not bothering about Zhang Mo's taunts. When Li Yue'er arrived, Long Feng opened his eyes and smiled at her. Zhang Mo also paused and glared at her with his words stuck in his throat. Long Feng rose to his feet as Li Yue'er descended down to the ground.

"You…" she was absolutely shocked at how quickly Long Feng subdued a rank eight spirit realm warrior. This was simply unreasonable. How could a single breakthrough make him grow so ridiculously strong? Even a normal rank nine spirit realm warrior would find it hard to subdue Zhang Mo so easily and in such a short time.

"Li Yue'er. We've been waiting for you." Long Feng smiled and stepped aside, casting a casual glance at Zhang Mo This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.

"You know what Zhang Mo, I can spare your life. In exchange, I have some questions for you to answer." He suddenly said. Zhang Mo's facial expression froze as he stared at Long Feng in shock and caution. He naturally wouldn't easily believe his words.

"What questions? And how do I believe you? You think I'm a fool?" He replied in mockery. Long Feng smiled faintly"I promise to let you go if your answers satisfy me." Zhang Mo's eyes widened as he carefully watched Long Feng's face or tone for any fluctuations but he couldn't find any. His heart began to race as he began to consider if Long Feng truly meant what he was saying.

"Hmph! I don't buy your trick. What's stopping you from simply killing me after I answer your questions?" He snorted and smiled mockingly. Long Feng frowned impatiently"Well what do you need for you to believe me?" Seeing the impatience on Long Feng's face, Zhang Mo's heart sped up again. Could he really be serious? No one would stay calm in a life threatening situation and then suddenly being offered hope. Even though his cultivation was gone, he could heal his meridians and recultivate from the beginning.

It wouldn't be hard for him to return to the spirit realm in a few years, but he would find it nigh impossible to ever reach rank eight spirit realm again without some great fortuitous encounter.

"Take an oath on your Dao!" Zhang Mo suddenly replied seriously. A Dao oath was nothing to scoff at. Even a Yin realm cultivator, as long as they had already comprehended even a level one Dao concept could make an oath with their Dao. Breaking such oath would leave a great flaw in your Dao, completely destroying any chance of you getting further in your comprehension of that Dao. But the downside of this oath was that someone who had two or three Daos could simply sacrifice one of them and break the oath.

But Long Feng naturally wouldn't ever sacrifice any of his three Daos. Zhang Mo's request caused him to frown and glare at him coldly. Zhang Mo net his gaze without blinking. His heart was pounding rapidly against his chest as they stared at each other.

"Fine. I swear on my sword Dao, I won't kill you if you answer me honestly" Long Feng sighed and said calmly. Zhang Mo's heart almost leapt out in joy as he felt relieved. At least, he could feel assured that he wouldn't die today. After this, he would immediately leave this province, find a remote area to heal and recultivate to the spirit realm before leaving the continent. Staying in this continent would sooner or later cause him to lose his life.

"Hahaha! Brat, I told you everything was negotiable! What's your question? I will answer you as long as I know" Long Feng stared at him with a terrifying glint in his eyes and pointed at Li Yue'er"What did you place in her Dantian? What's it's origin?" He asked calmly, masking the glint in his eyes. Li Yue'er's heart shook at Long Feng's question and she felt a mixture of warmth and happiness. It also made her to calm down.

She was worried that Long Feng would truly let Zhang Mo go but right now, she suddenly understood his plan. Zhang Mo's expression instantly froze as a clear terror appeared on his face"Brat, I don't know what you're talking about!" He replied in alarm as cold sweat gathered on his forehead. Long Feng was startled by the terror that appeared on Zhang Mo's face. What exactly was that demon entity? And what was causing Zhang Mo to lose his wits so much?

"You either speak or I kill you immediately. I don't mind either way. You have ten seconds to explain!" Zhang Mo breathed heavily and sighed"I don't know what it is" He suddenly said softly. Long Feng's eyes narrowed"You don't know? Do you want to die?" He asked coldly.

"I really don't know what it is! Back then…" Zhang Mo paused hesitantly.

"You have five seconds left"Long Feng added calmly. Zhang Mo's heart clenched. He could tell that Long Feng wasn't kidding. He would certainly kill him if he didn't speak within five seconds. And as much as he was terrified about that experience, he still wanted to keep his life.

"Back then, I just broke through to the spirit realm. A black cloaked man appeared before me. I couldn't see his face, and… he made me feel as though he could kill me with just a thought. I was terrified. He gave me a ball of darkness and told me to head to a family called the Li clan and place it within the Dantian of the clan's young lady! That is all I know!" Zhang Mo rapidly spoke in one breath and breathed deeply after saying this.

Long Feng's stared at him coldly for a full minute before he realized that the terror on Zhang Mo's face was definitely real. It was highly likely that he was speaking the truth. But then… Who was the black cloaked man? What was the demon entity? Why Li Yue'er specifically? Again, Long Feng found another riddle that didn't seem to make any sense. Beside him, Li Yue'er's expression wasn't calm as she glared at Zhang Mo.

Although she now found out that the demon entity didn't actually originate from Zhang Mo and he was merely used, that didn't change the fact that he slaughtered her entire clan, possibly out of 'frustration' back then.

"What else do you know?" Long Feng asked. Zhang Mo shook his head fiercely"That's all I know! Just let me go!" Long Feng smiled faintly"Don't worry. I naturally wouldn't dare break my oath. Tell me, who sent you to kill me?" All this while, Long Feng merely speculated that it was that young master Liu. But he never actually confirmed it. Now, he would hear the truth for himself.

"It was young master Liu Shan! He sent a powerful lady to find me and give me the mission! That is all I know!" Zhang Mo replied hurriedly. Right now, all he wanted was to leave this terrifying Long Feng's side and never come across him again in his life!

"So it was him…" Long Feng closed his eyes and sighed. Then he smiled calmly.

"Young master Liu Shan… I'll be coming for you soon" he opened his eyes revealing his frightening killing intent for a split second. Then he turned around and began to walk away. At the same time, Li Yue'er walked past him and stood before Zhang Mo. It took Zhang Mo a short while to understand what was going on"Brat! You bastard! You're breaking your oath!" He roared with blood red eyes. Long Feng didn't look back as he replied faintly"Breaking my oath? I promised not to kill you and I am not going to.

Whatever happens now has nothing to do with me" Zhang Mo raised his head and roared in rage, his voice filled with unresigned hatred. Li Yue'er stared at him with even more chill in her icy blue eyes. Ten years ago, she watched this man slaughter her entire clan of thousands without mercy. Her brothers, father, mother, uncles, friends, everyone died. And then he left her alive, placing something within her Dantian that would stay with her for nine miserable years. The hatred in her heart was indescribable.

Long Feng perfectly understood this. Although he also had a terrifying urge to kill Zhang Mo, he was well aware that Li Yue'er's hatred and killing intent was even greater than his own. Over several years, she cultivated with the one goal of killing Zhang Mo with her own two hands. The feeling of watching her entire clan slaughtered was something Long Feng was only beginning to understand with half of his own clan dead. So he didn't mind letting her kill Zhang Mo and resolving her hatred.

Zhang Mo stared at Li Yue'er's face and suddenly began to laugh"You know what bitch? I've killed thousands, tens of thousands of people. But the feeling of slaughtering your clan as they screamed, fled, tried to resist or plead… it was satisfying beyond your imaginations. And I'll tell you, he's coming to get what he left in you. And when he does, I'd like to see you and your boyfriend face him. Hahahahaha! I'll be waiting for you two in hell!"

Li Yue'er stared at him, the coldness in her eyes almost seeping out and freezing him.

"What are you looking bitch? Go ahead and kill me! Hehehehe, if I had known this would have happened, I would have tried harder to capture you the first time back then. And then spending a few nights with you wouldn't have been bad. But no matter. I'll wait for you in the yellow springs!" Zhang Mo was completely unfazed at this moment. He also knew that his death was a foregone conclusion. In that case, why lower his pride to beg? He would rather die defiant!

Long Feng lowered his hand to draw out the Origin Spirit Sword from it's sheath and threw it back without turning around. The sword flew through the air and Li Yue'er reached out, grabbing the hilt with her small hand and stabbing the sword right through Zhang Mo's heart.

"You're right. You missed your chance. I won't miss mine" she leaned closer and whispered softly. Zhang Mo's eyes bulged as he glared at her, then struggled to mutter"I… c-curse you to die miserably bitch! Both of you, I'll be waiting on the other side!" His eyes rapidly lost their light and he fell to the ground, lifeless. The limitless blood assassin was truly dead!
