When Xu Mo spoke those words, his tone was incredibly steady, and his acting was so convincing that he almost believed it himself.
Although he knew absolutely nothing, he just wanted to see if this line would trigger a “Special Storyline.”
However, Liang Shuguang's cracked eyes stared straight at him, a bitter yet relieved smile appearing on his face.
“Hehe... It seems it's still not right.” Liang Shuguang shook his head, his voice raspy yet surprisingly calm. “It seems the time hasn't come yet.”
He slowly straightened his back. The cracks on his body were still continuously seeping green light, but he was no longer trembling like before.
He tightened his grip on his dark red glaive once more. With a flick of his wrist, the blade carved an arc through the air. “But it doesn't matter! This is already good enough!”
With those words, he moved.
Grinning, Liang Shuguang transformed into a streak of green light that tore through space. The glaive carried a devastating force as it crashed straight down toward them!
Xu Mo blocked with his swords. The broadswords, wide as door panels, were practically shields as he took the strike head-on!
Boom!
A deafening explosion erupted. The sheer weight of the blow forced Xu Mo's knees to bend slightly. Liang Shuguang hovered above him, his glaive pressing down against Xu Mo's dual swords as their opposing energies savagely tore at each other in close quarters.
Xu Mo had no idea why the other man had suddenly gone wild. He could only throw him back with a casual sweep, but Liang Shuguang spun in midair and charged right back.
The blade fell like a hurricane, and the flashes of light chased after him in a frenzy. Each strike was faster and heavier than the last, as if Liang Shuguang had completely cast Xu Mo as his worst mortal enemy.
However, Xu Mo quickly noticed something off. The man seemed to be fighting with everything he had, but every swing of his blade actually accelerated the escape of the Evil God's energy! It was being rapidly drained by the Source of Bloodline Medal.
“What's this? Did you suddenly have an epiphany?” Xu Mo smirked, forcefully swatting Liang Shuguang away once more. “The power inside you is indeed quite decent. But it's about to become mine now. Where did you get it from?”
Liang Shuguang stood at a distance, his glaive pointing diagonally at the ground, his posture perfectly straight.
The light of the Evil God's power around him grew increasingly intense, yet his face was finally no longer tense. Instead, he was smiling.
In this moment, he seemed to have finally let go of everything. No longer resembling a calculating, scheming tyrant, he looked like a young, unrestrained warrior. The smile on his face carried a touch of sincerity and sheer delight.
It was as if, on the verge of death, this demon had returned to his youth.
“If you can take it, then that is naturally a good thing,” Liang Shuguang said with a savage grin.
“But you'd better hold on tight!”
With that, he charged forward again, launching a desperate, frenzied assault, venting the emotions he had pent up for so many years.
This was also a test for Xu Mo. Having just acquired this special form's power, he now had such a powerful whetstone risking his life to train him.
“You have to hold on. You absolutely cannot drop out of this Slaughter God Mode,” Xu Mo gritted his teeth and thought to Bai Feifei.
If they dropped out of the mode and suddenly couldn't maintain this state, they would die in an instant!
Bai Feifei didn't reply, but she naturally understood this in her heart.
Right at that moment, Liang Shuguang, who was attacking like a madman, suddenly smiled and said, “In any case... thanks.”
“Thank you for being willing to come, so I didn't have to perform a solo show before the final curtain call. And thank you... for not stopping that little girl when she spoke those words.”
Xu Mo laughed. “Are you referring to her talking about bearing the fate of Dawn City? Don't take it too seriously. She has other things to do. She was probably just joking around.”
Liang Shuguang didn't care. Swinging his blade to unleash another flash of light, he gritted his teeth and roared:
“But do not underestimate Dawn City!”
He paused, enunciating every word clearly: “Even if Dawn City isn't destroyed this time, the Calamity of Dawn is still far from over.”
“Looking forward to our next meeting...”
Hearing this, Xu Mo was momentarily baffled and chuckled sarcastically:
“Next time? Did you get something wrong? There is no next time.”
“In about a few minutes, once I've drained you completely, there won't even be ashes left of you. What do you mean 'meeting again'?”
“Hurry up. If you have anything to say, say it now as your last words. For instance, what exactly did you mean by 'the time' you kept mentioning? You're about to run out of time yourself.”
“Or perhaps, do you have any words for that Liu Yun? Does she also possess power related to the Evil Gods?”
Liang Shuguang looked at Xu Mo. His face was already fractured into pieces, making him look barely human. He gently shook his head.
“Say what I have to say quickly, huh... Hehe.”
“Once words are spoken, they aren't just heard by the two of us—or rather, the three of us.”
“The world itself can hear them too!”
When the word “world” left his mouth, an Old-Timer like Xu Mo naturally understood instantly what Liang Shuguang was referring to.
The Evil Gods of the Old Days!
“What? Are you saying something is watching you? And if you speak or act accordingly, it will lead to bad consequences...?”
Xu Mo narrowed his eyes, feeling a sudden surge of respect. This kind of situation was indeed highly possible. For the Evil Gods of the Old Days, such an ability was nothing out of the ordinary.
However, he couldn't immediately match this behavior with any specific Evil God. Surely Liang Shuguang wasn't just making things up...?
“Hmph!” Xu Mo snorted coldly and immediately said, “I told you, you can trust me completely. No matter when the time you're waiting for is, as long as I'm here, there won't be any issues. You don't have to worry about the consequences at all!”
Even if they really ended up provoking some unbeatable entity, he could always just rewind if things went south. He would treat it as satisfying his curiosity.
The inside of the black cocoon fell silent for a few seconds, but Liang Shuguang merely smiled and shook his head.
Then, he suddenly spoke, a trace of playfulness in his voice.
“By the way, since you mentioned Liu Yun just now, let me leave one final request.”
“Hmm?” Xu Mo responded instinctively, before immediately grimacing in anticipation.
“What? Want to say something to your old flame at the very end? I'm not going to relay any of that mushy, sickening stuff for you.”
Liang Shuguang looked at him with a solemn expression, speaking in a tone as if entrusting him with an extremely critical task:
“Your power is definitely strong enough, right?”
“If possible, I beg of you, please severely injure her!”
Xu Mo: ?
“Ideally, beat her so badly that her strength regresses, or at least leave her heavily wounded! Make sure she can't recover for several years.”
Xu Mo: ?
What did he just say?
No way, bro! I thought you were going to plead for her!
