Chapter 45

The Invincible JoJo Falls

After discovering that his "Holy Revelation" ability could perfectly counter Yin Xue.

Zhou Buyan was overjoyed.

He stepped forward, his pace quickening.

The swordplay became increasingly fluid and fierce.

The golden realm expands and contracts according to his will.

Ensure that the bloodline is always contained within.

It constantly erodes her magic and restricts her movements.

Zhou Buyan also discovered.

In this realm, each of my attacks comes with an additional purification effect.

This made the opponent's dark defense as fragile as paper!

"Where did your earlier bravado go? Huh?!"

As Zhou Buyan launched his rapid and relentless attack, he began to unleash his long-suppressed sarcasm.

The anger over the death of a companion.

The humiliation that had previously terrified him.

At this moment, they all transformed into sword light, slashing towards Yin Xue.

"Didn't you say you could easily crush Akai and Lilith? Why are you hiding like a mouse now?!"

Yin Xue pursed his lips, his eyes flashing with cold light, dodging left and right under the suppression of the domain.

Her blood magic was greatly suppressed, condensing slowly and dissipating rapidly.

Although Zhou Buyan's sword techniques were not particularly exquisite, they were powerful and heavy under the enhancement of his domain.

And it has an annoying purifying property, which makes her have to deal with it carefully.

If it were even a little bit stronger, it would be possible to ignore this damn domain!

pity……

Finally, after being parried and knocked back, Yin Xue's back slammed into the cold church wall with a "bang".

There's no way to retreat!

A gleam of wild, ferocious joy erupted in Zhou Buyan's eyes.

The expansion of power brings extreme self-confidence.

He stepped forward steadily, his lightsaber raised high.

Gathering the most intense golden light within the domain, the sword tip pointed directly at Yin Xue, like a holy spear of judgment.

His face was contorted with rage, and his voice was filled with undisguised arrogance and cruelty.

"Run! You try running again?! Didn't you just tell me to beg for mercy? Now! Right now! Kneel down and beg for mercy! I might even consider tattooing lewd marks on you and sparing your life!"

He seemed to have completely trampled the other party under his feet.

Enjoying the thrill of being in control of life and death.

However, Yin Xue, whose sword was pointed at him, did not show the despair or fear he had expected on his face.

Instead, a hint of... a helpless, bitter smile appeared on his face?

She even sighed softly, shook her head, and said in an almost pitying tone:

"Is this your last words? Tsk... That's quite something."

"What?"

Zhou Buyan was taken aback, thinking he had misheard.

Last words? Still so stubborn even on the verge of death?

In that fraction of a second of his daze—

A cold, pure, and incredibly fast black sword light that exceeded his perception limits.

As if stripped from the deepest darkness of night, it swept across the shadows behind him without warning.

There was no sound of wind breaking, no warning of killing intent.

There is only one trajectory, so cold it freezes the soul.

puff.

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh and bone.

The ferocious and smug smile on Zhou Buyan's face instantly froze and solidified.

He felt a chill on his neck, and his vision began to spin uncontrollably.

The last thing he saw was his own headless body, still standing, with golden particles of light and scarlet blood gushing from its neck.

And then there was the young man in black who appeared behind him at some unknown time, holding a jet-black longsword, his eyes calm and undisturbed.

Who is this?

Humanity?

I don't think I've ever seen him before.

As this question arose, Zhou Buyan was enveloped in darkness and completely lost his life.

The young man in black didn't even glance at Zhou Buyan's falling corpse; with a flick of his wrist, he shook off the blood from his black sword.

The sword was sheathed.

He then lifted the cloak, revealing Lin Mo's cold and stern face.

He frowned slightly as he looked at Yin Xue, who was leaning against the wall and looking somewhat disheveled. "Did you mess things up?"

Yin Xue felt a little guilty when questioned, but he refused to admit defeat.

With a flick of her wrist, the remaining blood from the three corpses of the heroes on the ground seemed to be summoned, transforming into three thin streams that flowed into her palm.

At the same time, a dark red light flashed around her.

The girl's form quickly shrank, transforming back into the palm-sized miniature demon king.

"W-What? You messed up?!"

She flapped her little wings and flew to a height level with Lin Mo's eye level.

Hands on hips, trying to look like he has everything under control.

"I've planned this all along! Feign weakness to lure the enemy in, and then... uh, having you clean up the mess is also part of the plan!"

However, her shifty eyes and slightly faster speech betrayed the lack of confidence in her words.

Lin Mo didn't respond to her words, his gaze sweeping over Ottmu, who was standing quietly in the corner.

I noticed he had a new, seemingly ordinary-looking ring on his finger.

Lin Mo walked straight over and took off the ring.

"This is……?"

Lin Mo sank his consciousness into the ring.

"Hey! That's mine!"

Yin Xue panicked and shot over like a small cannonball.

She wrapped her arms tightly around the ring.

Her entire little body hung up there, her face tilted back towards Lin Mo.

"This is money I won through hard work at the casino! I can't give it to you!"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, ignoring the small pendant hanging on his finger.

Instead, he turned his gaze to Otmu, his voice flat: "What's inside?"

Ottmu felt Lin Mo's gaze.

He glanced again at Yin Xue, who was clutching the ring tightly and glaring at him angrily.

He dared not lie to Lin Mo, but he was also afraid of offending Yin Xue.

I had no choice but to grit my teeth and speak in a voice barely audible.

"Inside are His Majesty the Demon King's... more than ten thousand gold coins he just won at the casino... and... and..."

"What else?" Lin Mo pressed.

"And... uh..."

Ottmu stammered.

"Shut up! Don't say it!"

Yin Xue loosened the small hand that was holding the ring.

Pointing at Otmu, he threatened her in a cute but fierce way.

Lin Mo found it even stranger.

What could possibly make this little money-grubber so nervous, besides gold coins?

Ignoring Yin Xue's protests, he focused his mind and probed the interior of the spatial ring with his senses.

The space inside the ring is approximately ten cubic meters.

The room was now a dazzling golden expanse, with tens of thousands of gold coins piled up like small mountains.

However, Lin Mo's attention was instantly drawn to something in the center of the mountain of gold coins.

It was a piece of nail plate about the size of a palm, with an irregular shape.

It has a dark, iron-blue color throughout.

The surface is covered with naturally formed, rough textures, like cracked earth.

It lay quietly among the gold coins, yet exuded a primal and ferocious aura.

That aura was deep and profound.

Although it was mostly isolated by the ring's space, Lin Mo could still clearly feel the immense energy contained within it.

This energy level far surpasses the level 20 Dark Ink Spider King essence he absorbed before!

Lin Mo's pupils contracted slightly, and his consciousness withdrew from the ring.

Looking at Yin Xue, who was still trying to "protect" the ring, he spoke with a hint of disbelief.

"This is... the essence of a level 30 Beastmaster?"

Yin Xue realized she couldn't hide it any longer, and her little mouth twitched.

She loosened her grip on the ring and angrily flew back to sit on Lin Mo's shoulder.

Hugging his knees, he muttered, "That's right, it's the essence of a level 33 Ironclad Dragon Turtle."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. He was currently lacking a level 30 essence to break through the level 20 bottleneck.

This essence has come at just the right time.

However, Yin Xue seemed to see through his thoughts and said with a smirk, "But you can't use this essence."
