Chapter 101: Will You Become the Enemy of the Whole World?

Lu Mo pressed down on the greatsword that the Holy Wraith was slamming towards her, gripping it tightly and causing it to shatter into pieces.

The greatsword shattered, but the wraith’s body was still rapidly closing in.

And at that moment, she faced the wraith head-on and brought down the sword held in her other hand.

The sword light, transformed from Heavenly Dominion power, erupted violently!

In the next instant, the sword light tore through the space along its path, landing directly on the wraith’s body, cleaving it cleanly in two!

Even a wraith composed of sacred power and God-blood was like paper before that sword intent, utterly unable to withstand a single blow.

The Holy Wraith’s body exploded with a thunderous crash.

And feeling Lu Mo’s sword intent, Solaris was utterly shocked at this moment.

That sword intent directly suppressed her own sword momentum and even greatly affected her realm.

“H-How… how is this possible…”

Back when she had crossed swords with Lu Mo, she clearly hadn’t been lagging behind by much.

But now—

Even just a wisp of Lu Mo’s sword intent could suppress her to this extent!

This feeling was even more terrifying than the pressure from the elders in her family.

Solaris couldn’t understand.

Over these years, she had also been constantly cultivating, specializing in swordsmanship, never slacking off.

She had improved a great deal, even feeling many times that she had become very strong.

If she were to cross swords with Lu Mo again, she definitely wouldn’t lose.

But now, she finally realized the gap between herself and Lu Mo had grown to an exaggerated degree.

Like heaven and earth.

Like mortal and god!

As her heart wavered, the shadow had already drawn near.

Lu Mo arrived before her and, without the slightest hesitation, brought down her sword!

Solaris snapped back to her senses, immediately erupting with leyline power, using her Severing Sword to block.

But her defense was hasty, unable to unleash the Severing Sword’s full power.

Sword clashed with sword, and Solaris’s hand trembled violently.

She felt Lu Mo’s terrifying sword intent even more keenly.

And that icy, annihilating killing intent.

At this moment, Solaris suddenly realized—

She was furious.

And Lu Mo’s heart was equally furious.

It was just that she vented through roars, rebukes, and explosive displays of power.

And Lu Mo—

Her answer was all in her sword!

This battle might be the most devastating defeat of Solaris’s life.

Merely from the first clash, she had completely fallen into a disadvantage, with no possibility of a comeback.

Sword shadows crisscrossed. She desperately gripped the Severing Sword, blocking Lu Mo’s onslaught again and again.

Clang! Clang!

But she understood Lu Mo’s sword techniques less and less.

Her power and aura were also rapidly weakening.

In this state, she couldn’t possibly bring out the divine artifact’s power.

Her arms were constantly being torn open by the shockwaves, blood flowing.

Her figure retreated step by step.

Finally, her hand completely lost all sensation.

In the next collision, the Severing Sword was directly knocked from her grip and sent flying!

The longsword fell to the ground, plunging deep into the earth.

Solaris had lost the weapon to oppose Lu Mo.

Sword intent and killing intent howled towards her, plunging her into deeper fear.

She exerted all her strength, deploying ultimate techniques, battle armor, and life-saving treasures.

These were all top-tier methods, priceless.

But the reality was—

The ultimate technique was broken apart by Lu Mo’s sword before it could fully unfold!

Defenses were torn apart in an instant!

The battle armor erupted with golden light, only to instantly crumble!

The life-saving treasure, before the sword intent, lasted only a few breaths before completely dissipating!

And Lu Mo—

Had only used the power and sword intent of the Heavenly Dominion realm!

She hadn’t even manifested a Heavenly Dominion phenomenon!

Was this really a level that a girl with ordinary talent could reach?

Was this really the power of someone who had just entered the Heavenly Dominion realm?

Solaris was dazed.

By now, she was covered in wounds from head to toe.

Her entire body was covered in injuries, blood staining her completely, almost turning her into a blood-soaked figure.

As Lu Mo swung her sword once more, her last life-saving treasure was also shattered.

Her body was torn open again.

Blood gushed out.

When the last defense was broken, she collapsed to the ground, her aura faint.

Blood slowly stained the earth red.

Lu Mo walked step by step to stand before her.

“Lu…”

Solaris spat out blood.

Now, there was no longer anger or killing intent in her eyes.

Only fear.

Despair flooded over her, swallowing her whole.

And right at this moment, she suddenly felt—

Lu Mo’s killing intent had actually stirred the soul connection between her and the divine artifact!

Hum—

The Severing Sword, which had been flung away and embedded in the ground, abruptly awakened!

Sacred patterns flowed across it, erupting with powerful fluctuations!

The longsword shot through the air, instantly slashing towards Lu Mo!

The divine artifact was protecting its master!

This strike was enough to restrain Lu Mo!

Hope rekindled in Solaris’s eyes.

But the next moment—

Her pupils contracted sharply.

Because she saw—

Lu Mo not only didn’t dodge, but instead reached out her hand and directly grabbed the blade of the Severing Sword!

Heavenly Dominion power and sword intent flowed within her grasp.

The power of a human and a divine artifact clashed head-on at this moment!

Logically, forcibly touching a divine artifact in attack mode would only result in the arm being instantly severed.

But Lu Mo—

She actually controlled the Severing Sword by sheer force, rendering it immobile!

The Severing Sword trembled violently, trying to break free.

Lu Mo’s palm was cut open, blood flowing.

But the sword could not break free.

Then, she looked coldly at Solaris and slowly raised the Severing Sword.

Was she… going to use the divine artifact to kill the Hero?

This scene was absurd to the extreme!

The woman to the side finally couldn’t hold back and shouted:

“Miss Lu Mo, please stop!”

“Killing a Hero is a grave crime in the Holy Sanctuary! Not only you, but even your family will be implicated!”

“With the great enemy—the demons—at hand, we should deal with them first!”

“If there’s any misunderstanding, we can talk it over slowly!”

“Are you really going to make an enemy of the entire Holy Sanctuary, even the whole human world?!”

Lu Mo paused slightly.

She turned to look at Cecilia.

Cecilia had already stood up by now, holding her wound, quietly watching her.

She didn’t speak.

But those eyes were full of concern and determination.

She was concerned for Lu Mo.

And unconditionally stood by her side.

Even if it meant becoming the enemy of the world.

At this moment, Lu Mo felt as if she had returned to the past.

To herself, who had climbed over the wall to stand up for her.

To that Cecilia, whose eyes held only her.

She was still that foolish girl.

That big idiot.

Lu Mo had already made a decision in her heart.

She had indeed felt killing intent.

But this place was not suitable.

She turned back and thrust the sword in her hand forward violently!

“Ah—!”

The woman screamed and collapsed onto the ground.

Solaris closed her eyes, her face deathly pale.

Several breaths later, she realized she was still alive.

Opening her eyes to look—

The Severing Sword was embedded in the ground less than an inch from her head!

A hair’s breadth from death.

The crisis was averted.

The Severing Sword returned to calm.

But the oppressive force and killing intent pressing down on her still hadn’t dissipated.

Solaris looked up at Lu Mo.

Lu Mo spoke coldly:

“This time, I can temporarily spare you.”

“But you must kneel and apologize to Cecilia.”

“And you must give me a reasonable explanation regarding the previous mission.”

“The matter between us… must have a conclusion that satisfies me.”

Under this pressure, Solaris finally lowered her head.

In the most humble voice, she said:

“I… understand…”

Lu Mo spoke one last time:

“I do not wish for the same thing to happen a second time.”

Her voice was calm.

Yet it made Solaris shudder with fear.

She knew—

Lu Mo truly could do it.
