Desperados Attack - Chapter 74 - Body Takeover

Unlike the calm and composed Su Xinghe, Mohuoluoja, wielding his treasured sword, was already losing his patience.

So what exactly was happening?

It turned out that Su Xinghe had not been burned to death. He became a skeleton but survived because he channeled his cultivation in a breath, saving his life.

However, Su Xinghe, being a stubborn-minded person, had previously been quietly listening to stories within his body. Upon hearing Mohuoluoja’s intention to take over his body, he began to lose his composure.

Thus, he attempted a body takeover using the moonlight.

Because the earlier full moon happened to shine on the chilling body of a snake, two figures appeared, both under the half-moon.

“Strike!”

Mohuoluoja thrust his sword forward, not retracting his arm or exerting restraint. He simply wanted to kill with one strike, without hesitation.

But perhaps Mohuoluoja, in his simple-mindedness, never imagined that Su Xinghe had actually split from his body and was fully aware of Mohuoluoja’s secrets while keeping his own under wraps.

The sword was already at his throat, but Su Xinghe showed no intention of dodging, knowing full well that he had the power to cause the demise of this tyrannical great deity from a thousand years past.

As expected, Su Xinghe immediately mouthed, “Heaven and earth’s just law, the transformation of Yin thunder.”

With these eight words, Su Xinghe formed a seal with his hand, and in the blink of an eye, a large electric orb appeared in his grasp. Mohuoluoja was now upon him, and it was hard to discern who had the upper hand.

Even though Su Xinghe believed victory was assured.

As he was about to strike,

Suddenly, he noticed,

Mohuoluoja was actually smiling.

He was smiling? What did that mean? It meant that he wasn’t concerned at all about this seemingly advantageous move.

“What? Does he have something up his sleeve?”

Although Su Xinghe thought this, he couldn’t hold back, as he was committed to the attack.

Seeing Mohuoluoja’s unwavering approach, Su Xinghe, despite his puzzlement, could not retract his move.

At that moment, Su Xinghe delivered a palm strike, embedding it with an electric orb, directly onto Mohuoluoja’s sword.

He had expected to channel all his internal energy through the sword tip to injure him, but it wasn’t that simple. Su Xinghe’s palm struck the sword, and the Blood-Stained Painting sword emitted a faint “buzzing” sound.

“What?”

Under Su Xinghe’s suspicious gaze, the Blood-Stained Painting had completely absorbed the electric energy of his palm.

“Oh? Weren’t you quite arrogant, kid?”

Mohuoluoja let out a sinister laugh, advancing another move with his sword, breaking through the resistance of Su Xinghe’s electric orb, and with a “snap,” it was once again thrust towards Su Xinghe’s chest.

What kind of person is Su Xinghe? Surely he wouldn’t be easily caught by such a simple trick. He scoffed, “Humph, you really are thick-headed, aren’t you? How could my past life possibly be you?”

It turns out that this sword was merely 1 chi long. Although the sword reached him, Mohuoluoja found himself in a perilous situation.

As the sword struck, with a “snap” sound, Su Xinghe twisted his body to dodge, narrowly avoiding the blade. This slight twist nearly made Mohuoluoja drop his jaw to the ground.

Clearly, Mohuoluoja had not anticipated Su Xinghe’s agility.

Under the cold moonlight, the chilling light struck the frosty serpent’s body, capable of summoning two identical figures-truly a rare phenomenon in this world.

Proud by nature, Mohuoluoja looked down upon his descendant who had revived by borrowing his power. Thus, he never considered that Su Xinghe would dodge the sword.

Dawn was breaking.

The firewood in the nearby braziers had also burned down.

At that moment of dawn, just as Su Xinghe dodged the sword, he swiftly grabbed an electric orb with his left hand and struck Mohuoluoja’s abdomen.

If the punch had been without the spell, it might have been fine. But with the electric orb, only a “puff” was heard as Su Xinghe’s fist pierced through Mohuoluoja’s abdomen.

At the same time as this punch went through, Su Xinghe inexplicably suffered a counterattack-a burst of fresh blood spurted from his mouth.

Who was it? Who had hit Su Xinghe?

Onlookers could not comprehend what was unfolding before them.

“What’s going on here?”

“What do you mean, ‘what’s going on’?”

Duanmu Xun stared intently at Su Xinghe and Mohuoluoja, while Xiao Feng responded, “The greatest flaw of a body takeover is that though they may have separate consciousnesses, they cannot harm each other without both suffering.”

Duanmu Xun nodded repeatedly, realizing that although they had separate consciousnesses, they could not attack each other without one injuring the other fatally.

Su Xinghe also noticed this strange behavior and thought, “Could it be that I’ve injured myself?”

As blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, Su Xinghe staggered backward, while Mohuoluoja, having been dealt a deadly blow, was extremely weak.

Mohuoluoja, whether in physical prowess or martial arts, was no match for Su Xinghe, since only the sword was his true essence.

Because Mohuoluoja relied on spells, he had abandoned his physical cultivation and channeled all his power into his sword.

Without his sword, his frail body couldn’t even kill a chicken.

Knowing this wasn’t limited to Su Xinghe alone; Mohuoluoja, though straightforward, was no fool. Aware of his weaknesses, he gripped his sword even tighter.

“You’re done for, kid!”

Mohuoluoja shouted, and the next second, his gory wound, under the effect of the Blood-Stained Painting, healed as if it had never existed.

In contrast, Su Xinghe, having injured Mohuoluoja, was gravely hurt, and his wounds remained unhealed, gaining no apparent benefit from their connection.

“Could it be that our symbiotic existence only allows for injury and not healing?”

Thinking this, Mohuoluoja, gripping his precious sword, charged forward. Su Xinghe couldn’t retreat and had to stand his ground, convinced that Mohuoluoja would not only spare him but also treat him well.

However, in an instant, Su Xinghe overturned his own thought, realizing that their bond was perhaps not fully understood by Mohuoluoja.

“Oh my goodness!”

Startled, Su Xinghe thought, “This guy is too fierce. If I die, won’t you also not survive?”

With this thought, he dodged with difficulty. Perhaps the shock affected his organs, causing Su Xinghe to cough up another mouthful of fresh blood.

“No wonder!”
