Heaven Slaying Blade

Elder Fu Long lifted his head, glanced at the Demon Lord and croaked, "You should kill me."

Looking indifferently at Elder Fu Long, the Demon Lord calmly responded, "You're not worthy."

"Heh heh..." Elder Fu Long let out a bleak laugh, "Indeed, my power is like that of an ant in your presence, truly unworthy to dirty your hands."

Chu Mo looked at Elder Fu Long, "Don't you want to go and verify this with your brother? Maybe I am lying to you."

"There's nothing to verify." Elder Fu Long responded with a gloomy face, "Some things I would never consider if you hadn't spoken. But after hearing you, reflecting on it is enough to judge the truth of your words."

"In that case, you should go and confront him, beat him!" Chu Mo rolled his eyes, "What is dying going to prove? Closing your eyes and no longer having to deal with anything?"

Elder Fu Long's eyes dimmed, "I don't want to do that."

"Why are you being so spineless!" Chu Mo yelled angrily, "You're being irresponsible!"

"Because, up to now, I still consider him my brother. I can die for my brother, but I don't want to be deceived by him. As long as we don't meet, I can believe, you might be lying to me." Elder Fu Long's gray face faintly smiled, then he deeply looked at Chu Mo, "Having such a master is your luck. I believe that one day, you will go for me and ask Hong Zhi face-to-face. Why did he deceive me..."

He only spoke half of the word 'me'. Then, his eyes bulged outward, wide open. There was no resentment in his eyes, only... a deathly pallor.

Despair is worse than death!

Blood trickled from the corner of Elder Fu Long's mouth, then he fell down in front of Chu Mo with a thud.

Disbelievingly, he took his own life!

Chu Mo stared dumbfounded, unaware that it would end like this.

From the first meeting last night to the intense chase, Elder Fu Long seemed determined to kill him. Chu Mo had no idea why he loathed him so much.

After knowing the reason why Elder Fu Long wanted to kill him, Chu Mo wanted him to have a showdown with Zhao Hongzhi.

It's not like either of them are good people!

But... Elder Fu Long, a master in the "Understanding Heart Realm," shockingly committed suicide right in front of him!

How strong is his conviction? What an unique character!

Compared to Chu Mo's astonishment, the Demon Lord appeared nonchalant, calmly commenting, "Quite a valiant man."

"He's just... dead..." Chu Mo muttered in a daze.

"What else did you expect? Although the Understanding Heart Realm means little to me, in this Mortal Realm, he is a top-notch warrior. How could he easily become your servant?" The Demon Lord shot Chu Mo a look, "Stop harboring such thoughts in the future!"

Chu Mo wasn't embarrassed by being read like an open book. After all, it wasn't a stranger who saw through him, but his own master.

"Do you find it hard to understand why he chose death?" The Demon Lord looked at Chu Mo and asked suddenly.

Chu Mo nodded, "Yes, even if he was betrayed by his best friend and was heartbroken, suicide isn't necessary, right? At most, he could simply disappear from sight!"

"That's easier said than done. But did you ever think that the Seventh Elder would leave him be?" The Demon Lord nonchalantly stated, "You're still young. Even though you're smart enough, your understanding of human nature is still insufficient. This man's character is both fierce and, when it comes to his brothers... practically extreme."

"He is no match for the Seventh Elder, and he knows too many of the Seventh Elder's secrets. With his temperament, the moment he sees the Seventh Elder, he would surely not pretend as if nothing had happened. That's when actual sibling rivalry occurs." The Demon Lord looked at Chu Mo, "If he doesn't die and chooses to run away, then given the Seventh Elder's temperament, suspicion will arise. They will hunt him down and eventually, everything would return to the original point. He would still have to die!"

"So, it's sacrificing oneself for righteousness? For a scumbag?" Chu Mo still found it incomprehensible.

"Will you let that Seventh Elder go?" Demon Lord asked Chu Mo.

"Absolutely not!" Chu Mo resolutely replied, "I wouldn't in the past, I won't now, and I definitely won't in the future! There's no way I would let such a scumbag go. I don't like Elder Fu Long at all, but to be honest, I feel it was not worth it for him!"

Looking at the wide-eyed deceased Elder Fu Long, the Demon Lord said lightly, "Some people are just like that, like Elder Fu Long here, rather than confront his best friend in arms, he'd rather die…"

Chu Mo also looked at Elder Fu Long, sighed, and then said, "That's true, if someday Xu Erfu betrayed me in the same way, I might probably... end up having the same thoughts as him."

Demon Lord glanced at Chu Mo, "So, you need to be careful when making friends, regardless of time or place."

With a grin, Chu Mo said, "I still have faith in my brothers. Since I was young, Xu Erfu is my only real brother."

Demon Lord pointed at Elder Fu Long, "So was he."

"Can you stop depressing me?" Chu Mo rolled his eyes as he spoke.

"I just want you to wake up to reality. Trust is important in brotherhood, but you should always be cautious," Demon Lord glanced at Chu Mo. "Perhaps, my views are a bit extreme, but it's due to my experiences."

"I know it's for my own good," Chu Mo sighed lightly, then looked up at Demon Lord, "Shall I bury him, Master?"

"Oh? I thought you were planning to give his body to the Seventh Elder," Demon Lord casually replied.

"Such a scumbag, who is utterly selfish, won't even shed a tear even if he saw Elder Fu Long's dead body. He might even suspect whether Elder Fu Long had betrayed him before his death or if he was forced to die..." Chu Mo sighed.

After looking at Chu Mo, Demon Lord said lightly, "It's good that you understand. However, think about this, if you let it be so, the blame for this man's death will fall on you."

"Do I actually care? Anyway... It's killing season soon. I don't mind carrying this one more burden." Chu Mo inhaled deeply and said softly.

"As long as you don't blame me for turning you into an enemy of the world," Demon Lord said in a low voice.

"I've never provoked anyone intentionally! I'm being so low-key, but they won't let me be. If that's the case, what does it matter if I'm an enemy to all?" Chu Mo said calmly. "If the world of martial arts is unjust, one must rise up with a sword in hand. Wield the blade high, seeking only to be true to one's heart!"

Demon Lord looked Chu Mo deeply in his eyes, approval flashing in his gaze.

Chu Mo lightly shook his head, dug a deep hole in a very concealed spot, and directly buried the body of Elder Fu Long.

Even the conspicuous storage ring on Elder Fu Long's hand was left undisturbed.

Because Chu Mo believed, one must give at least basic respect to a man who was so righteous and staunch, even though he was somewhat foolish, his death was not worth it.

He dug the hole deep and covered it very thoroughly. After some camouflage, it should be impossible for anyone to find it.

Then, Chu Mo and Demon Lord left the place.

After walking dozens of miles, they arrived at a vast valley.

Standing at the top of the mountain, looking out at the first wave of pursuers, Chu Mo sighed, pulled out Heaven Slaying, and slowly sat down. Putting Heaven Slaying across his knee, he looked out with calm and pure eyes.

Demon Lord had quietly disappeared.
