Chapter 273: Epilogue – Dark Qian Renxue's Counterattack
"No wonder Su Mo never touched me. So this is the reason!"
A few months after avenging Tang San's death, Dark Qian Renxue accidentally uncovered the secret between Su Mo and Bibi Dong.
Because Bibi Dong didn't want Ning Rongrong and the others to know about her relationship with Su Mo, no one was aware of it.
Only Dark Qian Renxue—who occasionally teased Su Mo—was scolded once again by Bibi Dong. That moment sparked her suspicion.
From then on, she began watching more closely, and eventually, during a chance encounter, she confirmed the truth between Su Mo and Bibi Dong.
The revelation left her stunned. So this was why Su Mo had always rejected her advances.
At the same time, it brought her some relief.
Otherwise, she'd have seriously started questioning her own charm.
After all, Su Mo already had several women. There was no logical reason to keep refusing her.
Only now, having uncovered his secret with Bibi Dong, did she finally understand.
"He's already a god with multiple women, and yet he still cares about this kind of etiquette…"
Realizing this, Dark Qian Renxue scoffed with mild disdain.
Having merged with her darker self, she wasn't one to be bothered by such rules.
So from that day on, she started plotting how to use this secret to win Su Mo over.
Not long after, she proposed a duel under the pretext of training, claiming she wanted to test her current strength.
To avoid damaging the surroundings, she suggested they fight inside Su Mo's personal Life-and-Death Arena.
Su Mo didn't overthink it. He agreed readily.
"Life-and-Death Arena!"
And with that, Su Mo pulled Dark Qian Renxue into his arena.
Buzz—
A dark vortex appeared behind her, quickly swallowing her up. The vortex disappeared immediately afterward—along with Su Mo's figure.
"Fallen Blade!"
"Temporal Blade Spear!"
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
Inside the arena, the battle commenced fiercely.
As the self-made God of Time and Space, Su Mo wielded time-space power with effortless mastery—his movements were seamless, leaving no trace.
If they'd fought outside the arena, Dark Qian Renxue's attacks wouldn't even have touched him. Only the full-area assaults she could use here gave her a fighting chance.
But even so, she was no match.
Su Mo wasn't going all out, either. He was just helping her test her own strength.
"Su Mo, your power really has grown!"
"Looks like I'll have to use my ultimate move!"
After exhausting all her skills, Dark Qian Renxue paused, smiling playfully at him.
"Oh? You have something else up your sleeve?"
"Then I suppose I should take a look."
Su Mo grew intrigued, curious what her so-called ultimate move could be.
"Heavenly Demon Disassembly!"
Dark Qian Renxue smiled sweetly, then a blast of black-purple light flared from her body.
Bang—
In an instant, her divine gear shattered and disassembled, scattering around her.
Within a blink, all of her armor had been dismissed.
"…"
Seeing her post-"ultimate move" state, Su Mo was completely stunned.
This was her big move?
He had to admit—it was certainly… unforgettable.
White-haired and violet-eyed, Dark Qian Renxue appeared even more radiant now.
What stood before Su Mo now was a perfect contrast—an angel's face paired with a devil's figure.
She looked like a masterpiece sculpted by the heavens—too flawless to be harmed.
Was this move designed to make others hesitate?
Whether it would work on anyone else, Su Mo knew it worked on him.
Faced with this image, he couldn't bring himself to strike.
Even knowing that, with controlled force, he wouldn't hurt her—he still couldn't do it.
Who could be so heartless?
"You win. I surrender!"
"Put your armor back on, quickly!"
Su Mo gave up and admitted defeat, urging her to redress.
As he spoke, he closed his eyes and shut off his divine sense.
Just closing his eyes wasn't enough to block the vision from his mind.
Even with his senses cut off, the image he'd just seen replayed in his head like a perfectly captured photo—clear and vivid, impossible to forget.
"All right then!"
"Since you surrendered, that means our agreement stands, right?"
Dark Qian Renxue gave a mischievous grin.
Before the duel, they had made a deal: if she won, Su Mo had to agree to one request.
While speaking, she silently approached him from behind.
"…What do you want?"
Su Mo gave a bitter smile, already suspecting what she was after—and feeling troubled.
"You've always known what I want, haven't you?"
Sure enough, her reply confirmed his guess.
What made it worse was that, at some point, she had already come around in front of him. Without warning, she wrapped her arms around him.
Even without his divine sense, Su Mo could still feel—and he immediately realized she hadn't redressed.
"I know your secret with the Rakshasa God."
"If you turn me down again, I'll tell Xiao Xue."
Before he could protest, her voice whispered again.
"How do you know about that?"
Su Mo opened his eyes in shock, staring at her.
"If you don't want it known, don't do it."
"Don't worry about how I found out. Just know that I'm blackmailing you now…"
"And since you've admitted defeat—Su Mo, darling—just give in, okay?"
She smiled seductively.
Then she moved to help Su Mo remove his gear.
Feeling her touch, Su Mo paused—but didn't resist.
Sensing his acquiescence, Dark Qian Renxue smiled to herself.
And so, a new kind of battle resumed inside the Life-and-Death Arena.
