Omnipotent Overlord -
Chapter 382: Lan Ying
The cub howled and bit on the shadow’s thigh.
“Who? What?”
Ye Xiaolu jumped awake.
The shadow was on the ground, still.
A night of compressing True Bomb hadn’t gone to waste. It caught the shadow square in the chest. The body was now a mangled mess, his chest actually touching his back.
The True Bomb had great power, but focused in a tight space. It was what allowed this move to disintegrate anything.
Li Mo took the shadow’s mask.
What greeted him was a perfect face, fair skin and of sublime features worthy of the teen idol title on Earth.
He had four limbs, humanoid, but had a devil’s tail behind him.
“He’s a Devil?” Ye Xiaolu cried.
Li Mo nodded.
“W-why did he attack us?”
Ye Xiaolu still looked like a Goddess and couldn’t make sense why the Devils would target them.
Whoosh~
Li Mo took out God Prison, having it release chains to tie the assassin.
“Why are you doing that for when he’s dead as a doornail?”
“Who said he’s dead?”
“No one from the ten strong races is weak. The Devils aren’t just good with Soul Hex Technique, but also have five thousand, and some, top cultivation methods.”
“That many?” Ye Xiaolu said.
“From their targets!” Ye Xiaolu exclaimed.
Li Mo nodded.
The past Li Mo got half of the thousands of cultivation methods he gathered courtesy of the Devils. He only grabbed two of them and yet obtained three thousand cultivation methods.
“Whoosh~”
As they talked, the Devil’s mangled corpse shot out two traces of black smoke, from left and right.
Li Mo was ready, easily trapping them in his hands.
He then put his hands together and the smoke wailed.
“What’s that?” Ye Xiaolu jerked in fright.
“Devils are experts in Soul Hex Technique. And that is only because of their strong soul.”
“Who are you? How do you know our secret?” The black smoke shouted.
The smoke roiled between Li Mo’s palms. But seeing it useless, it gave up.
The smoke was the assassin’s soul.
Li Mo aside, Devils were the number one race who knew the most cultivation methods in the universe.
Shedding one’s body, possessing another, these were skills every Devil knew.
Li Mo said, “Speak! What’s your purpose?”
“You won’t get anything from me.”
Li Mo poked and the smoke wailed. The volume shrank a bit.
“Soul-crushing Finger! How do you know our arts?”
“I’m asking the questions.”
Li Mo poked again and the smoke wailed.
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk! Nine-headed race and the Celestial Fire race have pooled their bounty. I only came after you for money!”
Ye Xiaolu said, “Why have the two races put a price on us?”
“You robbed God Huo’s Divine Footwork and killed Nine-headed race’s third crown prince. Of course they’d send someone after you!”
“S***, just how did you know who we are?” Ye Xiaolu asked.
The smoke was silent…
Another poke got him talking, though.
“I’ll talk! I have the Spirit Eye that let’s me see through lies. You can change your looks, but the Spirit Eye will see your true faces!”
Ye Xiaolu exclaimed. She now held Li Mo in worship.
“No wonder you made a spirit bomb.”
Li Mo shook his head, “I did it just in case. While the chance for Devils to get the Spirit Eye is the same as humans getting the Emulsion Spirit Body.”
“You’re correct. I am known to be the only Spirit Eye user of my race!”
“Does anyone else know of us then?”
“Yes, I reported to princess Lan before, giving her your soul scent as well…”
“What does that mean?”
Ye Xiaolu asked Li Mo this time.
“Soul Scent is a mystical art that any who has it will know who we are even if we change our looks or they lack the Spirit Eye.”
“S***, this bastard!”
Ye Xiaolu punched the smoke, almost annihilating him. She had Emulsion Spirit Body. Even without Soul-crushing Finger she could harm souls.
“You’re the Emulsion Spirit Body! It’s actually real! Oh, god! It hurts~! I don’t wanna die, I’ll tell you anything you want!”
“What’s this guy’s level?”
“Eight.”
“So strong yet so spineless?”
“Few Devils are tough.”
The past Li Mo fought Devils for centuries and knew them like the back of his hand.
“Hand over all your arts!”
Li Mo pressed his palms closer together.
“You dare refine a Devil’s soul… Ahhh~…”
The black smoke’s shock got cut off by its wail.
Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art suppressed all cultivation methods besides those imperial ones. As long as the target was no God Emperor and they were close in levels, the target would be suffering.
“Lan Feng, peak eight level from the Shadow Guild.”
“You’re not lying, are you?”
Li Mo extracted the smoke’s memories as he poked around.
“I’m not. I really am princess Lan’s subordinate. But something had me separate from my nine comrades, ending up on Ancient Planet!” The black smoke shrieked.
“You took our Soul Scent but you didn’t hand it over to princess Lan, but to your Shadow Guild’s boss, the ninth level Lan Ying, right?”
“What’s the point of lying when you can see my memories?” The smoke cried.
“Make sure you remember that.”
Lan Feng took little time to squeeze out all of Lan Feng’s memories.
Only then Li Mo eased a breath.
Lan Ying was a typical Devil, but wasn’t considered one. He followed a Devil woman called Lan Ying who established the assassin organization Shadow Guild on Ancient Planet, accepting assassination missions.
Shadow Guild had ten Devils. But what they lacked in numbers, they made up in strength.
“I told you everything. Let me go…” Lan Feng’s soul was now weak after the extraction.
“When did we make that arrangement?”
“Eh?”
Li Mo poked again and Lan Feng’s soul scattered in the wind.
