Chapter 150 : The Abyss in Her Eyes

Dodge. Lu Mo’s figure dodged to the side at that moment.

Whoosh— The demon’s figure finally landed on the steps above.

The next moment, the black blade and the demon’s figure brushed past the edge of her skirt.

“Demon?!”

Cecilia looked at the figure, speaking in a daze.

‘Hasn’t the war already ended?’

‘Why are there still demons in the human world?’

‘Why… have the demons found this place?’

The demon slowly rose at that moment, turned around, and looked down at Lu Mo.

“Not bad reflexes, human,” he said.

“Oh, no, I shouldn’t simply call you a human.”

“The girl who killed the Demon King, the human world’s hero, Lu Mo—am I right?”

“Although, you’re nothing but a cripple now.”

As his perception spread, the demon naturally sensed that there was no longer any trace of realm fluctuation in Lu Mo’s body.

It was as if she had completely become an ordinary human girl.

‘Exactly as Yisang said…’ the demon thought.

Some time ago, he had already come to the area around the Kalis family, lying low and quietly waiting for Yisang’s orders.

When Lu Mo took Cecilia and left the family to come to the town of Smael, the woman gave the command, and he immediately acted.

Now, Lu Mo was far from the Holy Sanctuary and the Kalis family.

This was the perfect opportunity to kill the two of them.

The strongest combat power by her side was none other than Cecilia, who was not skilled in battle.

Of course he had to kill Lu Mo.

She had killed the Demon King and cut off the demons’ retreat; now, Lu Mo had become the greatest enemy of all demons—the one all demons must kill!

And he had to complete Yisang’s request to kill Lu Mo and Cecilia in order to have a chance at regaining his freedom.

“Demons… how can they appear here…” Cecilia murmured.

Judging purely from the aura, the demon before her definitely had the strength of the Earth Pulse stage.

If the demon were allowed to unleash his power here, the entire town would likely suffer a devastating impact.

Although Cecilia was also at the Earth Pulse stage, she was not good at combat.

Moreover, because she had performed a sacrifice to Lu Mo, she had not yet fully recovered.

It would still be somewhat difficult for her to deal with such a demon.

Even though Lu Mo was now by her side.

She knew that Lu Mo’s realm had never truly been crippled.

But could Lady Lu Mo really freely use the power within her body?

Cecilia couldn’t help but worry.

If Lu Mo used her power to fight the demon, would demon realm energy spread from within her?

If so…

Would Lady Lu Mo risk being exposed in the human world?

Thinking this, Cecilia frowned slightly.

And all of this was also noticed by the demon.

He thought Cecilia was hesitating.

What was she hesitating about?

Whether to protect Lu Mo or protect the town?

Or did she want to escape alone?

The demon suddenly laughed at this moment.

In an instant, black Earth Pulse energy erupted from him!

“Saintess of humanity, let’s play a game!”

A black shadow shot into the sky, instantly covering the heads of the two, and soon spread in all directions.

A cold, sinister aura and demonic pressure surged down from within the shadow!

The people in the market suddenly trembled, their faces turning pale.

“What… is that?”

“Did it get dark?”

“Such a terrifying presence…”

They all looked up at the spreading shadow overhead.

At once, a strong sense of panic rose from the depths of their hearts.

“Demon, you—!” Cecilia glared at the demon furiously.

But the demon didn’t stay still.

He moved, once again holding a short blade, bringing up countless shadows as he charged at Lu Mo!

He grinned eerily as his figure grew closer and closer to the two, his expression becoming more ferocious, and a fierce killing intent surfaced in his eyes.

“Saintess, make a choice—”

“Will you choose this town, or Lady Lu Mo?”

“Or… do you only want your own life—”

“Cecilia, block his Earth Pulse energy.”

Before Cecilia could answer, Lu Mo had already made the choice for her.

“Mm, then Lady Lu Mo must be careful…” Before Cecilia could finish, Lu Mo pushed her downward.

Then, in the next instant, Lu Mo took out a weapon from her spatial ring and charged at the demon!

Clang—!

The sound of metal clashing rang out.

At the same time, darkness engulfed both Lu Mo and the demon!

Cecilia landed soon after and quickly used her realm power to seal the demonic energy in front of her and in the sky.

Holy power flowed, suppressing the shadow spreading toward the town.

Thus, a pale golden light flowed within the overwhelming shadow.

The gentle holy power also made the crowd in the market sigh in relief.

“This aura is holy power!”

“Is someone from the Holy Sanctuary here?”

“Great, we’re saved!”

The previously despairing crowd instantly became ecstatic.

Some of them smiled and began to thank the Holy Sanctuary.

Cecilia, while working hard to seal the demonic energy, also looked with great concern at the shadow on the steps.

“Lady Lu Mo…”

Lu Mo and the demon were both inside.

At this moment.

Within the shadow.

“What kind of plot is this?” the demon looked at Lu Mo.

“The hero gives up hope of survival and lets the saintess protect the entire town?”

“So touching… hahahaha!” The demon couldn’t help but laugh.

“Ha… hahahaha!” He looked at Lu Mo again, a vicious glint in his eyes.

“Do you like ordinary humans that much, hero girl?”

“It’s just a pity her strength is a little lacking.”

“You will die, and then she will die too.”

“The entire town… will all die!”

“With them as your burial companions, you won’t be lonely—”

But Lu Mo showed no change in expression at the demon’s mockery.

She simply continued to slowly take out an ancient skill crystal from her spatial ring.

This crystal had been given to her by Rumina.

Heavenly Guard power began to emanate from the crystal.

The demon’s expression immediately changed, and he screamed, “Heavenly Guard power?! You have a Heavenly Guard stage skill crystal?!”

Lu Mo did not answer, and was about to activate the crystal to defeat the demon in front of her.

“Hm?” But after several attempts to use the crystal elicited no response, she soon noticed something amiss.

A certain restriction seemed to have been set in the shadow.

Under this restriction, no skill crystal could be activated.

Seeing that Lu Mo failed to activate the skill crystal, the demon burst into laughter.

“Ha… hahahaha!”

“Just kidding, I’m not afraid of a Heavenly Guard stage skill crystal either.”

“Did you really think… I hadn’t considered this possibility?”

Earlier, Yisang had already prepared everything for him.

She had anticipated that Lu Mo would become a cripple.

But whether it was the Holy Sanctuary or the family, they would surely prepare many life-saving items for her.

So she had also given the demon a forbidden restriction.

The effect of the restriction was to render most skill crystals and life-saving items useless.

Although it wouldn’t last long, it was more than enough for the demon to kill the crippled Lu Mo!

Lu Mo looked at the laughing demon and spoke at that moment.

“Looks like you came prepared.”

“But this kind of restriction shouldn’t be something a demon can master, right?”

“That’s none of your business.” The demon looked at Lu Mo as if she were already dead.

“Anyway, you’re going to die. Why do you need to know so much?”

“Well then… goodbye, hero girl—”

As the words fell, the demon’s smile vanished.

His figure disappeared from the spot instantly.

The next moment, he was already in front of Lu Mo, short blade in hand, thrusting fiercely at the girl’s chest!

His realm power and intense killing intent erupted completely!

He wanted to see Lu Mo’s spirit break, to see her crying and sobbing.

To scream for help, pleading for someone, anyone, to come save her.

But Lu Mo’s expression remained cold even until this very moment.

And just as the short blade was about to pierce the girl’s chest,

She calmly raised her head and looked at the demon.

The ice layer in her pupils cracked.

The abyss beneath the ice finally…

Reappeared in the world!

At the same time—

A faint ripple of realm power spread out from Lu Mo.

Though faint, it carried a sense of annihilation.

In an instant…

It obliterated the surrounding shadow!

It caused the power of the demon before her to collapse!

It carried a kind of…

Absolute dominance!

It even caused the demon’s entire bloodline to pause, then begin to flow backward!

The demon’s mind also experienced a sharp pain.

As if struck by an extremely powerful impact, torn apart!

His abilities seemed to be stripped away in that moment!

Power dispersed, bloodline reversed.

He suffered immediate backlash, his body convulsing as he spat out a mist of blood.

He coughed up blood violently and, unable to control himself, fell to his knees before Lu Mo.

The demon then felt his mind in chaos.

What happened?

Wasn’t she crippled?

What was this power?

It could strip away his abilities and forcibly suppress his bloodline!

Was this really a power a human could possess?

In his daze, another wave of pressure fell upon him.

His body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Deep in his soul, there was intense fear and a desire to submit!

At that moment, he finally realized something.

This was not ordinary suppression.

It was like a superior toward an inferior.

Like…

A sovereign toward a commoner!

In terror, his eyes met Lu Mo’s.

The demon tremblingly raised his head.

“You… are you—”

And at that moment, he saw the abyss in the girl’s eyes.

And in that instant—

He only felt that the Demon Emperor’s eye seemed to overlap with the girl’s pupils!
