Chapter 1064 - Counter-Kill
Bang!
Lu Feng's head exploded like a rotten watermelon. Red and white-colored brain matter splashed everywhere.
Because of the damage-sharing, his spiritual battle pet was also finished. It screamed in agony and suddenly stopped breathing.
"…"
This savage scene even caused the Undying Old Man's scalp to turn numb. He also felt some excitement. This was purely a sense of beauty from violence.
Sun Mo didn't relax after he succeeded. He sped forth with lightning speed to chase after something.
In the corridor, one could see a barely perceptible figure speeding away.
Lu Feng had fled.
This fellow had learned some top-level secret arts from his teacher. It wasn't a problem for him to save his life.
Naturally, if Sun Mo wanted to chase him now, he could still kill Lu Feng. But the Undying Old Man was still behind him. What if he had any wicked designs toward the god's object?
Sun Mo returned to the crystal cave and before he could say anything, seven black shadows flashed and attacked him.
A cold intent instantly pervaded his body.
At the same time, Sun Mo's body froze and he couldn't move at all.
"Teacher Sun, let's discuss something. How about you becoming my personal student?"
The Undying Old Man laughed. "Naturally, the type where you have to make a heavy vow."
In the Nine Provinces, everyone regarded vows as something extremely important. This was especially so for great teachers. If they broke their vows, their reputations would be tarnished. Hence, the Undying Old Man thought that the binding power of a vow in addition to using some poison would be the way to control Sun Mo.
"Undying Old Ghost, you are such an ungrateful bast*rd!"
Bai Wenzhang raged.
"Brother Bai, you are also a major character standing at the peak. Why are you still so naive?"
The Undying Old Man was speechless. "What promises and kindness? How can that be as dependable as one's own strength? I also have no choice. I can't possibly seek help from you guys every few years, right?"
The Undying Old Man didn't want to have his life controlled by others. So, turning Sun Mo into his disciple was the best solution.
"I must have been blind..."
Sun Mo was enraged.
"Great Teacher Sun, this is life. You have to learn to get used to it and accept things."
The Undying Old Man persuaded and walked toward Sun Mo. "Just think over it slowly, I have time. But before this, can you let me drink a few mouthfuls of your blood?"
The Undying Old Man was proficient in the medical arts, and his cultivation realm was extremely high. This was why he could sense that Sun Mo's current lifeforce was extremely vibrant.
Sun Mo's heart was pumping hard, and the sound it made was like the rumbling of war drums. The rush of his blood was like the surging waves of the sea. His spiritual pressure was like an intense storm, unrivaled in this world.
"This aura is equal to the Legendary Realm!"
The Undying Old Man was incomparably shocked. God's object was truly powerful.
After that, he grew agitated.
(If his blood could cure my sickness and allow me to grow stronger, I might even be able to start coveting the Dark Dawn's throne. Hmph, that Dawn Sovereign has such huge power, but he doesn't want to use the organization. He is so elusive and I have no idea what he is trying to do. If I could control this organization, I would have long since ruled the world.)
The Undying Old Man used his finger like a knife and made a cut on Sun Mo's throat.
Si~
An arrow of blood immediately shot out.
The Undying Old Man circulated his cultivation art and transformed that blood arrow into a ball of blood that flew into his throat.
Mn? There is actually no bloody taste but a hint of sweetness instead? This is even sweeter (compared to the clearest spring water!)
In his shock, the Undying Old Man gulped it down.
A current of warmth immediately flowed to his inner organs, and he felt as warm as a fully satiated person on a lovely spring day. His entire body was filled with comfort.
The Undying Old Man closed his eyes and silently enjoyed this moment.
He could sense his originally withered body starting to brim with new life. There was an abundance of spirit qi flooding his entire body.
"This…"
Bai Wenzhang was dumbfounded.
Before this, the Undying Old Man was an old man with one foot in the grave and might die any time. But now, his vitality was flourishing like the rising sun.
"Delicious! Too delicious!"
The Undying Old Man laughed uproariously. When he looked at Sun Mo again, his gaze was filled with greed and excitement."
T...this was simply a sumptuous meal.
"Sun Mo, I still stand by my words. Become my personal student! I will teach you everything I know. If not, you will be locked up underground and become my food for all eternity."
The Undying Old Man's words were filled with lofty supremacy, but he still admired Sun Mo very much. This was why he gave Sun Mo a choice.
There was no solution as his talent was simply too good.
"Don't challenge my patience." The Undying Old Man persuaded. "With your blood, your skill in spirit runes is no longer something that can kill me."
"There might be no side effects to the spirit rune operation, but it's not certain for my blood."
Sun Mo coldly snorted.
"I believe in Lu Feng's research and I believe in my own knowledge even more."
The Undying Old Man smiled confidently. "You wouldn't assume that my title as an ancestor-level doctor is fake, right?"
"Oh, I can rest assured then!"
Sun Mo heaved a sigh of relief.
The Undying Old Man was astonished. "What do you mean?"
"Why don't you take a guess?"
Sun Mo smiled.
The expression of the Undying Old Man drastically changed. (Could it be that when Sun Mo was doing the operation for me, he did something else secretly?) Just when he wanted to inspect his body, an explosion suddenly occurred.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The self-explosion runes engraved on the Undying Old Man's bones all activated, and their explosions caused his blood and flesh to rupture.
Sun Mo, who couldn't move earlier, immediately flashed and appeared at Li Ziqi's side. After grabbing her, he retreated swiftly.
"Bast*rd!"
The Undying Old Man wanted to grab him, but he felt his movements stiffening.
Given his cultivation realm, although his injury was very terrifying, he wouldn't die temporarily. However, the chaotic stream of spirit qi from the explosions was tearing through his meridians and energy channels.
If his energy channels were damaged, he wouldn't be able to control his spirit qi and wouldn't be able to use a cultivation art. With no cultivation arts, even a saint would not be better off than a newbie.
"Teacher!"
Li Ziqi sobbed from joy.
"I'm fine!"
Sun Mo rubbed the little sunny egg's head.
"You inhuman brat!"
The Undying Old Man cursed.
"Undying Old Ghost, if you want to blame someone, blame those two servants of yours!"
Sun Mo sneered in disdain.
Slaves would mirror their master's personality. The middle-aged man and woman were both so arrogant and cruel, not treating the lives of others as lives. This indicated that the Undying Old Man was the same as well.
Sun Mo had saved the Undying Old Man, but no matter in which era, there would always be stories of the farmer and snake. However, Sun Mo couldn't afford to offend such an enemy.
What should he do then?
He could only hide a trump card.
Hence, Sun Mo had engraved self-explosion spirit runes in the bones of the Undying Old Man.
(If you don't trouble me, all of us will be happy. If you dare to plot against me? Sorry. Could you please die?)
"You…"
The Undying Old Man wanted to kill Sun Mo, but Sun Mo didn't give him any chance. Moreover, Bai Wenzhang also acted at this moment and attacked the Undying Old Man.
It was unknown whether this old fellow was powerful or Sun Mo's blood was too crazy. The Undying Old Man's tattered body was actually recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Isn't this a little too terrifying?"
Sun Mo felt a lingering fear in his heart.
