NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 409
Chapter 409: A Sword Splits the War Demon God
“Have you gone crazy long enough?”
Li Mo stood high atop the head of the War Demon God, unmoved as it thrashed about wildly beneath him.
With a cold gaze from his elevated position, he looked down at the War Demon God and said mercilessly.
The indestructible War Demon God now seemed like a big toy beneath his feet—
All that destructive power, yet utterly powerless.
Li Mo twirled the sword in his hand, the Shark Tooth Sword.
With the sword tip pointed downward, he placed it against the top of the War Demon God‘s head.
His expression was indifferent, almost as if a demon was whispering: “Since you’ve gone mad long enough, let’s make an end of it.”
With that, the energy within him began to flow.
The Shark Tooth Sword easily sliced through the hard defenses atop the War Demon God‘s head as if it were tofu.
“What do you want to do?”
The Chiyou Demon Spirit immediately sensed something was amiss and roared.
Li Mo’s face remained calm and sharp.
“What else… but to destroy it!”
With that final shout, an overwhelming surge of energy rushed into the Shark Tooth Sword!
Under the influence of this energy, the already sharp Shark Tooth Sword became utterly indescribable!
Li Mo gripped the sword hilt with both hands, moving from atop the War Demon God‘s head down to its back,
And then—he sliced open the War Demon God’s body from stomach to throat!
The sword energy penetrated right through the War Demon God‘s supposedly indestructible form, cleaving it in two from back to front,
Splitting it evenly and crashing down to the ground with a boom!
An invincible killing machine was swiftly destroyed by Li Mo!
The scene was instantly enveloped in silence!
Everyone’s gazes fixed on Li Mo standing on the ground and the sword in his hand.
Just moments ago, the seemingly unbeatable War Demon God laid lifeless on the ground, a massive cold corpse rendered immobile—
Completely silent!
Wei Zhuang’s eyes twitched uncontrollably at the corners.
He glanced at Li Mo’s hand, then at his own.
Doubts flooded in: was that truly his Shark Tooth Sword in Li Mo’s grasp?
In that moment, he finally understood the meaning of Li Mo’s previous words.
He grasped the true essence behind them.
What kind of sword doesn’t matter; what matters is in whose hands the sword resides!
When the Shark Tooth Sword was in his hands, it could only be used to slay flesh and blood.
But against a metal construction like the War Demon God, it paled in comparison.
Yet in Li Mo’s hands, it seemed transformed into a divine artifact.
With just a single stroke, it split the War Demon God in half!
Could this be something a mere human could achieve?
Indeed, there are no nameless swords, only nameless sword wielders.
Just moments before, Wei Zhuang was elated at grasping a new understanding of swordsmanship,
But now he realized that, compared to Li Mo, he was nothing!
There are always greater talents out there, and he had been overconfident!
This one single stroke, I’m afraid even his master, the Master of Ghost Valley, could not replicate!
The Grand Priestess stood there with her mouth agape, mindlessly allowing the dust in the air to float into her mouth.
At this moment, she was in complete shock.
What on earth was happening?
This person had clearly claimed to be ignorant of sword practices—so what was that sword energy that just tore apart the War Demon God?
Though she wasn’t a swordsman, and certainly not a master,
She could still discern that the sword energy was incredibly sharp.
Looking at the massive body of the War Demon God on the ground and then at Li Mo, who bore a deathly expression…
The stunned Grand Priestess found herself at a loss for words, her heart racing like a wild deer wanting to escape.
In their legends, the War Demon God had always represented slaughter.
Three thousand years ago, although Chiyou had unified the land using eighty-one War Demon Gods,
After he lost himself to madness, those machines only brought endless suffering to humanity.
Truly, in every Loulan person’s heart, the War Demon God was an invincible entity.
Yet, here and now!
With a mere human body and an earthly sword,
With one stroke, just a single stroke!
He destroyed this cold killing machine!
Shattering the Grand Priestess’s fears of the War Demon God!
As long as this man was around, even the Chiyou Demon Spirit couldn’t create chaos.
The Grand Priestess, who had always seen Li Mo as a god, was now even more convinced he was the deity foretold by the Lady of the Nine Heavens!
Even if he himself would deny it,
Who else but a divine being possessed such power to destroy the War Demon God?
Even just moments ago, both Wei Zhuang and Fei Yan together couldn’t harm the War Demon God.
Yet Li Mo unleashed a one-hit fatal blow!
“Now, am I worthy?”
Li Mo stood atop the wrecked body of the War Demon God, looking at the enraged Chiyou Demon Spirit with a challenging tone.
“You… you actually destroyed the War Demon God!”
The Chiyou Demon Spirit was not in disbelief, but in fury!
Utter, absolute fury!
This was the only War Demon God currently in existence.
Initially, it planned to eliminate these people and then take the War Demon God to dominate this world.
Who knew that before even leaving this desert region, it would be destroyed right here!
It never anticipated that there would be someone capable of slicing a War Demon God in half with a single blow!
“Destroyed? So what?”
Li Mo replied lightly.
“Since you’ve destroyed my War Demon God, I’ll make you into the next one!”
The War Demon God was crafted by Chiyou himself.
Now, coupled with Donghuang Taiyi’s puppet technique, turning Li Mo into a killing machine wouldn’t be hard—
But first, he needs to be able to kill him!
…
“If you want to kill me, feel free to try.”
Li Mo wasn’t afraid of clashing with the Chiyou Demon Spirit; what he feared was the intent to flee.
Given the enemy’s caliber, if they wanted to escape, he wouldn’t be able to stop them!
This wasn’t some ordinary being like Donghuang Taiyi.
But an entity existing one realm above himself!
“Then die!”
The Chiyou Demon Spirit, thoroughly enraged by Li Mo, resolved that if it couldn’t kill him today,
Even regaining control of this land would feel utterly pointless.
Suddenly, the already torn-apart earth shattered further.
A massive spike of earth shot up like a pillar from beneath Li Mo’s feet.
But Li Mo was incredibly swift.
As soon as he felt the disturbance below him, he had already moved eight lengths away!
The Chiyou Demon Spirit kept lifting its hand as if tireless,
Each spike emerging like bamboo shoots after rain, leaving Li Mo with no place to land.
“Let’s see whose agility is faster, yours or my craft!”
Though Li Mo could easily evade, not everyone possessed his remarkable speed.
Fei Yan and the others fared better, but for the already injured Da Siming, the average Grand Priestess, and those ordinary soldiers—none had that capability.
Seeing Li Mo evade effortlessly, the Chiyou Demon Spirit immediately shifted its target.
It raised its hand, and a black skeleton opened its gaping mouth, ready to swallow those people whole.
This was none other than the Skeleton Blood Seal!
However, the Chiyou Demon Spirit’s version of the Skeleton Blood Seal was at least ten times stronger than that of Da Siming!
The speed and terrifying momentum left everyone utterly helpless.
Boom!
