Chapter 803: Discovery
"It's already too late!" Lin Mo shook his head. Francis looked panicked and suddenly lowered his head, seeing a ball of purple flame emerge from his chest, shooting into the distance.
Francis froze in mid-air, staring blankly at the fist-sized blood hole that appeared in his chest, disbelief written all over his face.
"I have an undying body, flames cannot destroy my body." In Francis's pupils was a strange red glow, and the sinister black scar under his skin slowly surfaced.
These black liquids slowly flowed towards the hole in Francis's chest, as if attempting to mend the wound.
But in the next instant, Francis's eyes widened, his lips trembling slightly, "Wha- why is this happening?"
It turned out, the edge of the wound on his chest had a faint purple flame still burning, and whenever the black liquid approached the flames, it was immediately burnt into air.
"I don't believe it; I am undying, I won't die." Veins bulged on Francis's face as he became furious, and the black liquid on his skin seemed to grow more frenzied, surging towards the flames on the wound, but the effect was the same. Once close to the purple flames, all the black liquid instantly turned into air.
The purple flames at the wound began to continuously devour Francis's body; the hole in his chest gradually expanded, and the body scattered like dark ash with the wind.
"I am not reconciled."
Accompanied by Francis's wild roar, he turned into a severed kite, wobbly falling to the ground with a bang. His body was enveloped by purple flames, gradually turning to air.
At that moment, a sharp gleam flickered in Lin Mo's eyes, and he swiftly reached out to seize the items from Francis into his Space Ring.
However, because Lin Mo was at the bottom of the valley and too far away, those standing at the canyon's edge did not see this scene.
Meanwhile, Mr. Zhu, who was struggling to resist, also heaved a sigh of relief. The moment Francis died, the black liquid on him lost its vitality and disappeared into the air as wisps of white smoke.
As it disappeared, Lin Mo furrowed his brows, sensing an unusual feeling, even making his blood boil.
At the canyon's edge, Tang Rulong's body trembled lightly, his fists clenched tightly, veins bulging on his forehead, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Not only him, but Tang Ruhu, several elders, and Tang Yijun also, mouths agape, stared incredulously at the scene before them.
All of Firebird Canyon was silent!
"What?" Tang Yijun rubbed his eyes, still unable to believe Lin Mo truly killed Francis, an S-level Superpower User.
The Great Elder and other elders of Tang Sect also blushed; just moments ago, they were mocking Lin Mo's arrogance, but now it felt like a heavy slap to their faces.
Tang Ruhu was dumbfounded, muttering to himself, "Impossible, even Mr. Zhu was not a match for Francis. How could he kill him? During the test in Tang Sect's main hall, he clearly didn't even reach S-level Superpower User status!"
"Mr. Lin is not a Superpower User at all." At this moment, Tang Yitong suddenly stood up.
The little girl was furious these past few days, not only mocked by Tang Yijun but also being pressured by several elders and her second uncle against her father, harboring a belly full of anger.
Now seeing everyone's 'wonderful' expressions, Tang Yitong felt a thrill from the top of her head to her toes, her cheeks reflecting an aura of pride.
"He's not a Superpower User?" Tang Rulong's face also showed shock and confusion.
Tang Yitong nodded, "Mr. Lin came from Huaxia; he is a Cultivator from Huaxia."
"Cultivator?" Tang Rulong furrowed his sword eyebrows, his face showing a serious expression. He had vaguely heard of this term but wasn't quite sure of its specifics.
Lin Mo killed Francis; the Mafia people mourned as if in loss.
Tang Sect members were astonished.
An hour later, Firebird Canyon returned to its usual tranquility, only the rock walls' cracked crevices, shattered rocks, and a large pit at the valley bottom witnessed the intense fight just now.
Inside Ao Ye Hotel, Lin Mo walked ahead with his hands behind his back, followed by Tang Rulong, Tang Ruhu, and several Tang Sect elders.
Only this time, the faces of Tang Ruhu, Tang Yijun, and several elders turned sour, while Tang Rulong, Tang Yitong, and Norman appeared exuberant.
"Mr. Lin, feel free to choose any room in the presidential suite for your rest," Tang Rulong said.
Tang Ruhu opened his mouth but ultimately remained silent.
As for Mr. Zhu, he always followed at the end, his eyes somewhat blank, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lin Mo nodded and said, "Mr. Tang, I've helped you, so I hope to see what I want soon."
"Certainly, I've already sent someone to fetch it; it should be delivered shortly," Tang Rulong said, with a few hints of humility in his expression.
Only then did Lin Mo enter the elevator, and under everyone's watchful gaze, the elevator doors slowly closed.
Tang Ruhu sighed, "Brother, this time I've lost, the Dragon Head position is still yours."
Tang Rulong laughed and shook his head, "Remember what I said, no matter who leads Tang Sect, there's only one belief, and that's unity. I also hope all elders and Tang Sect branches can return sometimes, manage Tang Sect well, and unite to withstand other forces."
Upon hearing Tang Rulong's words, several elders exchanged glances.
Tang Rulong's meaning was obvious; Tang Sect was somewhat scattered now, and he wanted to integrate it.
In the past, several elders would not take his words seriously, but now it was different; Tang Rulong had Mr. Lin by his side.
Just now in Firebird Canyon, Lin Mo slapped down, winds changed, clouds gathered, powerful and awe-inspiring. Even if not afraid of Tang Rulong, they still feared Lin Mo.
Besides, these days Tang Yitong and Lin Mo were close, seemingly indicating that Lin Mo might become Tang Rulong's son-in-law. Who would dare say 'no' now?
"The Dragon Head speaks correctly; we are not united within Tang Sect, or else how could the Mafia dare be so aggressive, even attempting to kidnap the young lady?" said the Great Elder after some silence.
The other elders echoed in agreement, and a long-lost smile appeared on Tang Rulong's face.
In the hotel room, Lin Mo directly opened the Space Ring and took out the items he found from Francis.
A thick tome appeared in Lin Mo's hand, somewhat tattered, inscribed with ancient symbols.
"Old Testament?"
Lin Mo furrowed his brow. Although he didn't recognize the characters, the book retained some of Francis's spiritual power. Lin Mo could directly feel some images of Francis praying with this book every night. However, the pages of the Old Testament were stained with dried blood, making it a Bloodstained Bible!
The Bible appeared in Western mythological society, then revered by Jewish and European believers, who truly believed in the existence of God.
