Chapter 871 Reasons
A beam of light passed by at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Hong Yi and Hong Duo slowed down and stopped.
Soon after, that light stopped about a hundred meters behind them.
In the video.
They saw a seemingly ordinary man with black hair and eyes standing on a flying sword emitting a brilliant azure glow. His hair fluttered, exuding an immortal presence akin to Lin Yue.
"How, how could it be so fast?" Hong Yi's eyes widened, and he slowly turned his head to vaguely see the figure behind him, but suddenly, his head separated from his neck and naturally fell.
Hong Duo didn't even have time to react, and similarly, his head tumbled downwards, dropping toward the endless sea below.
"Come."
Lin Mo gestured, and both bodies emitted a red glow as two red beams flew into his hand.
"Hmm?"
Lin Mo looked at the two pieces of soft armor in his hand, lighter than red feathers, completely weightless, "Seventh Grade Magic Artifact."
Seventh-grade armor wasn't particularly rare, but Lin Mo felt there was something strange about it.
"This is the Blood Demon Vine!" Lin Mo's eyes widened in surprise, "What a waste, using the Blood Demon Vine as armor, which is incredibly rare in the Cultivation World."
Lin Mo put the two pieces of red soft armor into his space ring, his eyes shining brightly, "Could the Hongmen headquarters be cultivating the Blood Demon Vine?"
It took Hong Lei about a few dozen seconds to reach Lin Mo's side. From a distance, he had already seen the bodies plummeting towards the endless sea.
"Sir, Hong Yi and Hong Duo... they." Cold sweat beaded on Hong Lei's forehead.
"You mean those two just now? They were going too fast and crashed." Lin Mo said calmly.
Hong Lei's throat moved, swallowing hard, but looking at Lin Mo was like seeing a demon.
Those two Emperor Extreme powerhouses didn't even have a chance to resist and were killed by Lin Mo in an instant; who wouldn't be terrified?
Lin Mo wasn't one to kill ruthlessly, but the cruel survival laws of the Cultivation World taught him that mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.
So he had no hesitation in killing Hong Yi and Hong Duo. If he were dead, those unable to protect family, friends, or loved ones would face insane revenge.
Weeds grow again if they aren't pulled out by the roots.
"Remember this historical lesson from when King Yue put up with hardship, ultimately defeating Gou Jian," Lin Mo clenched his fist.
In the Dark Web.
Everyone in front of their computers was stunned.
The auras of Hong Yi and Hong Duo were both very powerful, clearly SSS-grade superpower users or Martial Arts Emperor Extreme fighters, yet just within a glance, Lin Mo killed them instantly.
Everyone felt a chilling and murderous aura from the screen.
"Oh my god."
"Satan!"
"God!"
"Is he still human? He is a demon incarnate."
"Those were two SSS-grade powerhouses, killed in just one encounter."
Watching Lin Mo's figure in the air made everyone feel cold and break out in goosebumps.
Actually, Lin Mo hadn't expected to kill them with just one face-off. Combining Qiankun Step and Xuanyuan Sword, his speed reached a terrifying level, not even giving them time to react.
"However, these two were Emperor Extreme, but their strength is far inferior to Liu Sheng Zongzhai," Lin Mo frowned.
Though Liu Sheng Zongzhai was Emperor Extreme, his strength was genuinely powerful, and his understanding of Martial Arts had reached a peak level.
And these Emperor Extreme fighters seemed to have achieved it through some external force; their true strength wasn't that formidable.
"Blood Demon Fruit?" Lin Mo suddenly thought of something.
The Blood Demon Fruit can help boost strength and maximize potential, but eating it means one could never reach a higher realm. "Is the Blood Demon Vine really at the Hongmen headquarters?" Lin Mo felt a hint of excitement.
Blood Demon Vine is an extraordinary plant; its branches, leaves, fruit, and juice are excellent materials for refining elixirs, strengthening the body.
However, he's not yet at the innate realm. If he gets the Blood Demon Vine, it would greatly benefit him in advancing to the innate realm.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo, ignoring Hong Lei behind him, instantly transformed into a streak of light, heading toward the Hongmen's headquarters.
Within Hongmen's headquarters.
Hong Zhangtian saw the scene in the three-dimensional projection, his eyes widening instantly, "Has he... could he have reached the Divine Force realm? Otherwise, how would he possess such high strength?"
Hong Yi and Hong Duo were personally trained by him, their strength he knew well. Even if he wanted to defeat the two, it would take some effort, so how could Lin Mo kill them with ease?
"Lin Mo, here to visit."
Rolling thunderous sound spread throughout Hongmen, and the disciples inside had already seen Lin Mo kill Hong Yi and Hong Duo via internet video, feeling chilled and not daring to resist.
Hovering there, Lin Mo exuded a cold aura, looking down upon the island below.
Inside Hongmen.
Several elders approached the semicircular chamber where Hong Zhangtian was, all made of metal, resisting intercontinental missile attacks and nuclear explosions. The entire chamber was brightly lit, illuminating every inch vividly.
"Sect Leader."
"Sect Leader."
"Sect Leader."
Several elders called out simultaneously. Hongmen faced a powerful enemy, and the elders had watched the video of Lin Mo killing Hong Yi, knowing he was extremely formidable.
Hong Zhangtian frowned, "You needn't worry, I'll go out and see."
"Sect Leader, are you confident to kill him?" an elder asked.
Hong Zhangtian shook his head, sighing, "I'm not his match, but it won't be easy for him to kill me either. But... it's a pity the patriarch is still in retreat. If he emerged, he could kill him with one strike."
Several elders let out a sigh simultaneously. The patriarch had instructed them unless he stepped out on his own, no one should disturb him; moreover, entering that place is a dead-end.
With that, Hong Zhangtian rose from the ground, slowly flew out of the chamber, then shot into the sky, standing opposite Lin Mo.
"I am Hong Zhangtian, the Hongmen Sect Leader. May I know who you are?" Hong Zhangtian spoke, his visage carrying the aura of a powerful person.
Indeed, Hong Zhangtian was not only a superpower but also controlled the massive force of Hongmen, naturally emanating a kingly aura befitting his status.
However, he saw that this Huaxia youth before him, despite his young age, showed no fear, exuding a calm aura as if he were a black hole, absorbing everything around him.
"Lin Mo."
"My Hongmen has no quarrel with you, what brings you here?" Hong Zhangtian appeared patient and composed.
However, in truth, if facing someone of lower power, Hong Zhangtian might not even speak and would likely kill Lin Mo with a slap.
But, alas, Lin Mo's strength surpassed his own, so Hong Zhangtian spoke with such courtesy.
"I hold no grudge with Hongmen, I want the scepter and the Blood Demon Vine," Lin Mo said calmly.
