Heaven Slaying Blade
Chapter 59 - 52: Extinction of Humanity
"Must the cultivation be done within a sect?" Chu Mo frowned. The Demon Lord had never mentioned this to him, but instead kicked him back from the mountain to the mundane world.
"Yes! Of course, we have to go back!" Qi Xiaoyu sighed, glanced at Chu Mo, and said, "Just like your prairie girl, she would not leave the prairie just because you moved away. Just as you would not stay in the prairie just for her. It is the same principle. Everybody has their own hesitations!"
"How do you know these things?" Chu Mo rolled his eyes.
"Who am I? I know astronomy and geography, unparalleled in heavens and earth..."
"Okay, you are the most beautiful, obedient, and excellent! Also, that girl, she's not mine." Chu Mo felt it necessary to clarify this to her.
"What does it have to do with me?" Qi Xiaoyu pretended not to care, but her slightly upturned mouth gave away some of her feelings.
"Okay, it's none of your business, so, how about coming home with me?" Chu Mo suddenly asked.
"What? Go, go home? To your home? Why? What's your intention?" Qi Xiaoyu's delicate face turned red instantly. She looked at Chu Mo in confusion, peppering him with questions.
"I like you, and I want to take you home to meet my grandfather." Chu Mo looked into Qi Xiaoyu's eyes with a serious expression.
"I... I... I'm not ready yet. Don't you think you're being rash?" Qi Xiaoyu blushed, appearing as a completely different person from the carefree beautiful girl she was earlier.
"You are not willing?" Chu Mo felt a bit disappointed. The heart of a teenager…is always sensitive.
"I..." Qi Xiaoyu glanced at Chu Mo and hesitated. "Your grandfather might not like a girl like me with an unclear origin."
Chu Mo laughed, "I like you, that's all that matters. He just needs to take a look, who cares if he likes you or not?"
"I haven't had a chance to think about it yet, so I can't promise you anything," Qi Xiaoyu cautiously said. She seemed to be afraid of upsetting him, then added: "I am a girl... This kind of thing... I can't agree all at once."
It basically was her indirect way of telling Chu Mo: I want to agree, but I am a girl, I can't just say yes as soon as you ask. You have to ask me a few more times, when I can't refuse any more, then I will shyly agree...
Unfortunately, Qi Xiaoyu, who considers herself an all-knowing wise lady, forgot one thing.
Not long ago, she was calling this teenager a blockhead and an idiot in her heart...
Although Chu Mo is extraordinary in learning and innately intelligent, he is a complete blank sheet when it comes to feelings.
Being able to frankly admit that he likes someone is already a significant breakthrough for Chu Mo...
Therefore, Chu Mo looked at Qi Xiaoyu somewhat disappointedly. Looking into her bright and expressive eyes, he hesitated and didn't ask the question, "Then what will make you agree with me?"
Though inexperienced in the realm of affection, at least he is intelligent. Seeing Qi Xiaoyu's embarrassed expression, Chu Mo intuitively felt: If he had asked, perhaps she would have disappeared immediately.
"Help..."
"Help..."
"Please help us..."
While the youngster and the girl were lost deep in their thoughts, a faint cry for help drifted in from a distance.
Chu Mo and Qi Xiaoyu heard the cries and looked at each other.
"Let's go and check." Chu Mo took Qi Xiaoyu's hand and rushed towards the source of the voice.
Qi Xiaoyu naturally ran through the grass with Chu Mo without feeling at all out of place.
It seemed that being led by this boy became a habit.
The world turned upside down, a calamity for all races.
The stars rise with the sun, the blue sky is like ink.
The end of the anomaly, the curse of the bloodline.
Heaven and Earth unite, slay demons and eliminate evil.
"The stars rise with the sun, the blue sky is like ink... could this be referring to him?"
"If it really is him, what should I do? Ask for his help? But I don't want to involve him in these matters."
"I have awakened my memories… I know why I came here, but I don't want to involve him! So contradictory… I really want to leave him immediately, stay as far away from him as possible."
"But I... can't bear to!"
"What should I do? What should I do?"
Chu Mo couldn't have imagined that this beautiful girl beside him was so torn and struggled within.
The cries for help ahead became more distinct. The voice was heart-wrenching, as if it was facing the most terrible thing in the world.
Chu Mo and Qi Xiaoyu both sped up and rushed towards the direction of the voice.
Then, the scene in front of their eyes caused Chu Mo and Qi Xiaoyu's hearts to shatter. They were filled with anger in an instant.
A large troop of cavalry was brutally slaughtering a large crowd of people on the distant prairie!
The air was filled with the smell of blood, and bodies were scattered all over the ground. Blood flowed like a river!
Many knights had cruel smiles on their faces as they drove the women and children, deliberately not killing them immediately, and herding them together.
Then they shot arrows indiscriminately, aiming for non-lethal areas like arms and legs.
The desperate cries from these women and children were tragic and appalling!
A child, with three or four arrows stuck in his arms and legs, was pinned to the ground—barely clinging onto life, calling for his mother.
A few feet away from the child, a woman was crawling on the ground, one hand extended towards the child. She must be the child's mother, her eyes were fixed on the child, but they had lost their light and could no longer respond to her baby.
An arrow had shot her from the back and pierced through her chest, pinning her firmly to the ground.
An old woman, with two or three arrows stuck in her body, was not yet dead and was striving to crawl forward in a pool of blood. A knight swung his long saber and beheaded her in one go.
The knight laughed wildly, speeding off on his horse towards the next struggling person.
This was a massacre!
A massacre that stripped away all humanity!
There was absolutely no reason...just bloody massacre!
Far away on the prairie, thousands of people still alive were being driven and slaughtered, their numbers reducing at a terrifying rate.
Chu Mo and Qi Xiaoyu, watching this scene from afar, their eyes turned red in an instant!
This was absolutely inhuman!
No, calling them humans is the greatest insult to the word 'human'!
These creatures were less than beasts, nothing but scum!
"Beasts!" Qi Xiaoyu roared, her figure rising into the sky, a crescent-like blade suddenly appearing in her hand.
She slashed horizontally at the mounted knights, a cold blue moonlight sweeping out, instantly knocking down a dozen knights from their horses.
These dozen knights were cut in two as they fell to the ground, some still alive and screaming in utter terror, struggling to crawl forward. They were as helpless as the people they had just mercilessly slaughtered.
A middle-aged man who had been pierced like a hedgehog and was struggling on the brink of death, suddenly saw a knight, who had been cut in two, crawl to his side.
The man let out a roar like a wounded beast, somehow summoning the strength to pounce on the half-bodied knight!
He fiercely bit into the knight's throat!
Like a predator, biting into the throat of his prey. With a vigorous rip...
Blood splattered wildly!
The knight let out a horrified scream.
Another bite!
And another!
Relentlessly, he bit the half-dead knight to death.
"Heh heh...heh heh..." The man didn't utter a word from beginning to end.
In the end, he let out a sound that was both a laugh and a sob, then his head drooped to the side, his mouth filled with fresh blood, and he died on the spot.
The power of hatred...is terrifying indeed!
Chu Mo charged into the group of knights, feeling a suppressed rage in his chest…It was a feeling that could drive him mad.
Clink!
Heaven Slaying is unsheathed!
With one swipe, a knight wrapped in armor was cleaved in two.
The light of blood appeared, decreeing life or death!
Another swipe!
Another knight's head was directly chopped off!
Just a moment ago, the girl of about seven or eight years old was skewered on the same knight's lance.
The little girl was already dead, but the knight burst into triumphant laughter.
When his severed head flew up into the air, his laughter still echoed over the bloodstained earth.
"Kill!" Chu Mo, as if a demon god had possessed him, exploded with endless murderous intent.
The knights who were just reveling in their slaughter... were stunned by the sudden appearance of these two individuals.
They even lost their ability to think!
"Who are you two? How dare you obstruct royal court's law enforcement? Do you not value your lives?" A knight clad in silver armor, exuding an imposing aura, bellowed at them.
Simultaneously, he spurred his horse towards Chu Mo. The blood energy on this knight was extraordinarily vigorous; he held a war halberd in his hand, his arms looking like a chimeric dragon, seemingly possessing endless strength!
"Go to hell!" This silver-armored knight roared, thrusting his halberd towards Chu Mo's brow.
It was as if even the air was pierced by this strike, carrying the force of a thunderbolt!
Chu Mo, wielding Heaven Slaying in his hand, was in mid-air, descending. By the time he landed, the opponent's halberd would surely have pierced his brow.
No way to avoid it!
However, what the silver-armored knight didn't expect in his wildest dreams was that the young man in the air actually roared and not only did he stop falling, but also rose several feet into the air!
This meticulously calculated strike…completely missed!
"This... How is this possible?" The silver-armored knight's eyes were filled with shock: "A… warrior of the Primordial Pass!"
Pfff!
Chu Mo, from a higher position, swung down at the silver-armored knight.
The silver-armored knight was completely petrified and suddenly shouted: "You can't kill me...I am Prince Yin Ge of the prairie royal court!"
Crack!
Prince Yin Ge was cleaved in two by Chu Mo.
