Chapter 227 178: Reckoning at Crow's Nest (Part 2)
Along with the heavy car body and higher speed, the bone sphere was brutally knocked several meters away, breaking through the railing and rolling down the slope into another warehouse.
Su Mo stepped out of the smoking car, leaping down the slope after the bone sphere, and ordered the Edge Mercenaries: "Keep dealing with the thugs, I'll handle this jerk!"
Chu Nanyi and Dongdong immediately led the Edge Mercenaries in a counterattack against the Crow's Nest Thugs.
Su Mo chased into the warehouse and saw the bone sphere rolling in a pile of debris, entangled by some slippery objects.
But soon, the spikes on the bone sphere shredded those items, and it accelerated toward Su Mo once more.
This time, Su Mo did not dodge but stood firmly in the path of the rolling bone sphere, gazing deeply at it.
"This move is cool, opened my eyes." He said deliberately, "But it ends here."
Facing the menacingly rolling bone sphere, Su Mo lowered his hands, and the energy core within his body began to surge, channeling massive energy through microcircuits to his wrists.
"Swish—" Two beams of moonlit glow suddenly appeared below his wrists, enveloping the dim warehouse in vast silver light, as if two bright moons had risen.
As the silver glow became more dazzling, two crescent-shaped blades formed along the arc of his forearm.
They were incredibly beautiful, the blade so thin it seemed to have no thickness, every stream of flowing silver light was clear to see, clashing against the war-torn field like delicate works of art.
Moon Concealing Arm Blade, activate!
Su Mo lunged forward with the Moon Concealing Arm Blade, leaving fleeting afterimages of silver light in the air as he swiftly closed the distance to the bone sphere.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish—" The Moon Concealing Arm Blade rapidly slashed around the bone sphere, without the slightest pause, its cold gleam like a silver rainstorm.
In high-energy particle oscillation mode, the Moon Concealing Arm Blade was incredibly sharp, even the Frenzied Corpse Rigid Bone at the Critical Initial Tier could not withstand it.
The Moon Concealing Arm Blade sliced through the bone sphere like a hot knife through butter, peeling away its heavy Rigid Bone defense layer by layer, growing ever thinner.
As meters of Rigid Bone were shredded away, the Moon Concealing Arm Blade breached the final defense, revealing Simon's body within.
"Die!"
Su Mo thrust the Moon Concealing Arm Blade into Simon, with a squelch of blood spraying forth as his face registered pure shock.
With a swift motion, Su Mo sliced through Simon's body, blood blossoming like vibrant flowers.
Soon, Simon was out of strength, his blood-drenched body fell heavily from the shattered bone sphere.
The high-frequency vibration of the Moon Concealing Arm Blade automatically shook off any blood, leaving it pristine.
Su Mo flicked his wrist, retracting them into his body.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, letting out a sigh of relief.
The Moon Concealing Arm Blade was powerful, but it came with limitations.
He hadn't used it before because the high-energy particle vibration mode was too consuming, and his internal energy core couldn't sustain it for long.
This trump card was not to be used before forcing out the opponent's trump card, otherwise, one failed strike would be a total loss.
Fortunately, the Moon Concealing Arm Blade's unparalleled sharpness perfectly countered the Frenzied Corpse Blood Code's defense, giving him a huge advantage.
Now the victory was decided, without suspense.
Simon lay paralyzed on the ground, the upper half of his body completely sliced open from shoulder to abdomen, the incision utterly smooth, blood gushing out, staining the ground a crimson carpet.
With damaged lungs, Simon could hardly breathe, his eyes filled with deep resentment and confusion.
His mouth opened and closed, struggling to form words: "You...triple...Blood Code...and just now...prosthetic weapon?...what are you..."
"I said, on your seventh day, I'll tell you by your grave." Su Mo activated the Ancestral Blood Code Ability, the black mark on his chest sprouted numerous black tendrils, forming a black sword around his right arm.
He thought for a moment and mocked, "But with this failed mission, Hong Quansheng will surely erase you, you probably won't even have a grave."
"Hiss!" The black sword pierced Simon's heart, the tendrils spreading wildly within, devouring gene-laden flesh and blood, leaving behind a withered husk.
As the black tendrils retracted into the black mark, a warm sensation spread from his chest, as if every cell pulsed with vitality, shattering a long-standing barrier and bringing a sense of renewal.
Su Mo knew that his internal Mad Corpse, Crimson Rose, and Cyanide Codes had all ascended simultaneously!
The new capability developed for him by the Future—the Ancestral Blood Code—was 'Iso-phagic Assimilation.'
Originally, Ancestral Blood Code carriers did not gain any effect from consuming already 'owned' Blood Codes.
But with the development of 'Iso-phagic Assimilation,' consuming owned Blood Codes could convert them into 'nutrients' to elevate the carrier's Blood Codes.
In the fight against Simon, Su Mo used Iso-phagic Assimilation to absorb his Frenzied Corpse Blood Code as nourishment.
Using a Critical Initial Tier Blood Code as nutrition resulted in a strong ascension effect.
Not only did Su Mo's three Blood Codes breakthrough major thresholds, rising from 'Awakening Tier' to 'Ascension Tier,' but they also advanced an additional minor tier.
Now his Mad Corpse, Cyanide, and Crimson Rose Blood Codes were all 'Mid-tier Ascension,' their fundamental strength soared, and he gained even greater Blood Code manipulation ability.
Su Mo inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly, the joy resonating in his heart.
