Chapter 2, my enemies have never been you

Hello, monster

This guy is desperately seeking battle, searching for the meaning of existence. Do you think such a person could be easily killed by anyone—even if the opponent is me?" Su Mo said coldly, "However, now, with your help, I can finally kill him once and for all.

The other party is not really defending themselves; they are simply speaking casually out of boredom

His upper body was already surrounded by numerous black chains, which constantly shifted between the illusory and the real, piercing through Su Mo's body yet remaining completely intangible and elusive.

You

The old man was greatly astonished, as he did not expect that the heart-lock could only suppress Su Mo for such a short period of time

Although I was unable to kill you, it seems that this is perhaps the weakest moment you have ever experienced.

"Why should I sacrifice myself, what about you?" Su Mo asked with a smile

It is effective

Loser

The materials for the creation of the Heart Lock come from the depths of the earth; once they return to the ground, they will regain their power. Now, by using a formation to connect it with the earth, we essentially possess an unending source of strength. The elder at the forefront thought to himself, raising his head and gazing intensely at Su Mo, as if his eyes were two sharp swords

Lord Su Mo, please allow me to extend to you my highest respect

Su Mo reached out to press his head, and his originally steady body swayed, abruptly and without any grace, he sat down on the ground. His chest heaved violently for a moment, and after a while, he exhaled a breath of turbid air: "It really hurts."

"Do not look at me with such sympathetic eyes," Su Mo said, curling his lips. "I am not like you; I have always had my own goals. Speaking of which, you are always entangled in questions about the meaning of existence and the like. Why not become a philosopher?"

"As expected of Lord Su Mo," the old man said

"Almost, it might have worked. Why don't you all try a little harder?" Su Mo chuckled twice

However, regardless of who they are, one can hear the vigilance hidden beneath the calm voice and a trace of the fear they strive to conceal.

This scene resembles someone teasing a kitten with a cat teaser stick

Perhaps. Responding casually, Su Mo reached out to grasp the chains that danced before his eyes, but the moment his hand touched them, they transformed into illusions

The old man fixed his gaze firmly on Su Mo, hoping that his "psychological tactics" would have some effect. As long as this fellow revealed a flaw, the Heart Lock, backed by the entire earth, would take advantage of the opportunity to completely suppress the terrifying enemy known as the Dark Night King, even to the point of directly sealing him off on the spot.

However, this time it was interrupted halfway by Su Mo

A group of noble madmen, if it can be done, then let us give it a try. I too wish to know if there is anyone who can kill me—ever since I died with that mad vampire, no one has made me feel the threat of death again. Su Mo smiled faintly, and a dense shadow spread from his body, transforming into crimson blood that surged towards the people around him

Indeed, Lord Su Mo has already noticed. The old man slightly lowered his head and continued, Therefore, Lord Su Mo should be very clear about our intentions

The voice echoed in Su Mo's ears, as if it were trying to penetrate deep into his soul

We will naturally follow the footsteps of Lord Su Mo, the world will not belong to us said the old man with a firm tone

A sudden fit of coughing erupted, and the elderly man who had been conversing with Su Mo struggled to rise, forcing a bitter smile as he said: "Lord Su Mo truly exceeds expectations; I even thought I was battling Akart."

Ha, got you

It seems that you are the killers

In contrast to the surrounding crimson hue, these individuals all appeared extremely pale, as if all the blood in their bodies had been completely drained away

That person seemed to have disappeared since the outbreak of the battle, and now appears to have reemerged. However, in reality, this person has been standing by the side from the very beginning. During the recent battle, both Su Mo and others have intentionally or unintentionally overlooked her—Tang You

A moment of silence

Indeed, it was on Su Mo's body rather than in his mouth. With that scream, a large amount of black mist appeared on Su Mo's body, and those black mists transformed into distorted faces, which were instantly crushed by the chains of the concentric lock.

"You really think highly of yourself, don't you? Do you think that if you compliment me a couple of times, I would take my own life? By the way, why would you want me to die? I have made significant contributions to this world. If it weren't for my intervention back in the day, that so-called zombie army would have long since devoured this world."

It seems that the words of the elder had some effect, as Su Mo suddenly opened his mouth, and an incredibly piercing scream erupted from him

After all, what they may be facing is the most terrifying monster in this world; there used to be "one of them," but now...

Can even the heart-lock not kill you

Su Mo, do you still not understand? We represent the will of this world. You are indeed strong, but can you contend with the earth? Your enemies are not us at all! In this battle, you are destined to be the loser!" A voice, resonant like a great bell, echoed in the night sky, yet it was confined to this small area and did not affect the outside.

The half-bodied man opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he said nothing, merely gazing at Su Mo

Oh, you are indeed fighting against him. Su Mo nodded expressionlessly, and the blood beneath his feet surged, twisting into a half-figure of a man before the old man.

The chains on Su Mo's chest began to shake violently, starting to erode his life.

Apart from the elderly man who spoke just now, the other seven elders began to voice their opinions one after another. Some spoke in a rather impolite tone, some displayed a cold attitude, others expressed disdain, while a few were exceedingly respectful

With a cheerful sound, Su Mo finally grasped one of the chains, squeezed it forcefully, and shattered it into fragments

Su Mo did not lose heart and continued to reach out and grab.

Indeed, that makes a lot of sense. Su Mo nodded noncommittally, saying, "Technology is truly advancing by leaps and bounds these days, but unfortunately, the power that belongs to us is gradually fading away."

After they awoke, they did not move their bodies but instead sat cross-legged, murmuring incantations. A faint glow emanated from the ground beneath them and began to spread in all directions.

Tang You slowly knelt down to the ground, her body collapsing, her cheeks stained with dark red blood, and a serene smile appeared on her face, as if she had fallen asleep

The chains automatically withdrew from Tang You's body, dancing in the air like a venomous snake

Suspended in mid-air, Su Mo slowly raised his head, his eyes completely shrouded in black: "You are not wrong; my enemies have never been you..."

Therefore, I kindly ask Lord Su Mo to make another contribution to this world

The vampire known as Akat smiled, not answering Su Mo's question, and his body, formed from凝聚的鲜血, suddenly dissipated—at the moment of his disappearance, the surrounding blood also began to fade.

Seeing you like this is truly disgusting

Su Mo stood up and began to speak, but just as he had said half of his words, he suddenly stopped. He closed his mouth and slowly turned his head to look to his left, where a person was standing.

At last, it was the same old man who spoke at the beginning. In an extremely hoarse and slow tone, he said: "Lord Su Mo should be aware that this world is no longer the same as before; it is no longer suitable for people like us to survive."

The old man finally changed his expression

Half an hour later

The old man felt a surge of surprise in his heart, and one hand slightly retracted, disappearing into the wide sleeve of his garment, as if to confirm something. "In that case, there is no need to use this thing."

With a lazy yawn, Su Mo spoke up: "Go ahead, what is it?"

It is clear that, since there is no space for survival, death is inevitable... This is a very normal reasoning," Su Mo said

"Those who are not dead, hurry up and die, our time is running out!" With the old man's furious shout, those who had originally fallen into a coma began to awaken.

At the moment the formation appeared, the chains dancing around Su Mo instantly changed direction, piercing into the ground and lifting Su Mo's entire body. From a distance, it resembled a gigantic spider with countless legs standing in the darkness

In just a few seconds, an incredibly complex array appeared on the ground, replacing the surface that had been completely stained red with dark crimson blood with this intricate formation

At this moment, the dagger that had once wounded Su Mo in Tang You's hand had pierced through her own chest, penetrating her heart

However, before the old man's surprise could manifest on his face, the intertwined chains over there suddenly began to shake violently, producing a crisp sound

Long time no see, Dark Night King

This place remains eerily silent, with the surrounding scenery intact—if there is any change, it is that everything here has been stained a deep red by a layer of fresh blood, transforming everything into a shade of crimson, exuding an unsettling aura

Su Mo remained motionless, his mouth slightly ajar, allowing the heart-shaped lock to lift him into the air. However, upon closer inspection, one could notice that his face, which was hanging low and hidden in the shadows, seemed to no longer be as pale as it was earlier. The otherworldly beauty that emanated from the vampire was gradually fading away

So fast

The eight elders, either lying down or sitting, were scattered on a circle with Su Mo at its center and a radius of fifty meters

The old man shook his head, dismissing that absurd thought. Before him stood the Dark Night King, a creature that walked in darkness, one whose age was unknown; how could it possibly be a cat

Speaking, Su Mo crouched down, looking at the bust before him: "Akate, you can finally die."

Looking at the lifeless body of his disciple, a trace of sorrow crossed the old man's eyes

Loser
