Capítulo 1180: Chapter 226: Rodrigo’s Wrath

As Xu Mo and Vera O’Brien’s relationship grew closer, Rodrigo finally couldn’t hold back.

He found Xu Mo.

At this moment, in the Mystic God Temple, the two sat opposite each other.

Xu Mo had returned to the Mystic God Temple for a month, yet this was his first time facing Rodrigo directly.

During this month, he had been cultivating, contacting Vera O’Brien, which was also a practical cultivation.

But he couldn’t stop thinking about how to make Rodrigo die.

Of course, simply killing him was too cheap for him.

At the very least, he should be disgraced.

“You were looking for me?” Xu Mo faced Rodrigo calmly, as if without any anger.

Rodrigo leaned back on the sofa, looking at him with icy killing intent in his dark eyes, without any concealment.

“What’s your goal?” Rodrigo asked.

“You don’t know?” Xu Mo retorted.

“Why are you approaching Vera?” Rodrigo coldly stared at him and questioned.

“Rodrigo.” Xu Mo looked at him and said: “Wu Lai and Asaka, they didn’t have much of a grudge against you, right? Shava, she’s only five or six years old, how could you do it?”

As Xu Mo’s words fell, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop, a chilling coldness permeating the air, Rodrigo’s hand froze on the cup, his pupils contracted, time seemed to stand still, just like that, he looked at Xu Mo.

Similarly, Xu Mo was also looking at him, both of them staring at each other without backing down.

Then, Rodrigo straightened his body, put down the cup, and slightly lowered his head, a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes as he did so.

Xu Mo, he already knew.

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” Rodrigo said, looking at Xu Mo as he raised his head and had restrained his killing intent.

He wasn’t sure if Xu Mo had any eavesdropping equipment on him, such a conversation, Rodrigo couldn’t possibly admit to the killings.

Xu Mo kept his gaze on Rodrigo, the killing intent in his eyes unmistakable.

“Rodrigo, you caused Proto’s death, killed Wu Lai, Asaka, if the Mystic God Temple or Senior Sister Vera knew about these things, what do you think they would do?” Xu Mo continued.

Rodrigo clenched one hand tightly, lowered his head and said: “Xu Mo, don’t spit blood, speaking nonsense comes at a cost.”

This cost, is death!

If before Xu Mo’s contact with Vera had made Rodrigo harbor killing intent toward him,

Then at this moment, Rodrigo’s killing intent towards Xu Mo had reached its peak.

He must die.

Xu Mo must die.

“Didn’t you ask me why I approached Senior Sister Vera? Indeed, I have a purpose.” Xu Mo continued, “The purpose is to expose your ugly face. You want to trap me, but these words, are you brave enough to say them?”

“Xu Mo, is there some kind of misunderstanding between us?” Rodrigo looked up, suddenly smiling.

Laughing in extreme anger.

“There is no misunderstanding between us, I know your purpose for approaching Vera better than anyone. Now, I’m already familiar with Senior Sister Vera, and when she completely trusts me, I will tell her what you’ve done.” Xu Mo said. “Furthermore, I have evidence of your killings, you’re well aware of how principled Senior Sister Vera is, when the time comes, how do you think she’ll view you?”

Rodrigo certainly knew that Vera was very principled, if she trusted Xu Mo and learned that he had killed Wu Lai and Asaka, forget pursuing her… fearfully, Vera would be extremely disgusted with him.

However, Xu Mo’s words also seemed to tell him that at least for now, he hadn’t told Vera yet.

So, there was still time.

“Xu Mo, although I don’t know what misunderstanding you have with me, I advise you to stay away from Vera.” Rodrigo spoke coldly, repeatedly mentioning misunderstandings, worried that Xu Mo might be up to something, afraid of being watched here.

That matter couldn’t be exposed, it didn’t matter if Xu Mo knew, as long he had no evidence, there was nothing to worry about.

Therefore, as long as he didn’t admit it, no one could do anything to him.

As for Xu Mo, if it weren’t for his approach to Vera, Rodrigo wouldn’t care about him at all.

Xu Mo was a genius of the Mystic God Temple, but for now, he was only third on the Mystic God Ranking.

What did Xu Mo have to contest with him?

“I also want to tell you, Rodrigo, you will die a dreadful death.” Xu Mo continued.

Rodrigo stared at him and then smiled.

This smile, full of meaning, he would like to see who would meet a dreadful end.

He stood up and left, heading into the distance.

However, Rodrigo hadn’t walked far when he saw a familiar figure coming his way, her gaze towards him was somewhat cold.

“Vera.” Rodrigo called out.

Vera, her gaze indifferent, ignored him, walking past him directly towards where Xu Mo was.

Rodrigo turned to watch Vera’s back, his anger almost exploding.

He seemed to have been outmaneuvered by Xu Mo again.

With fists clenched tightly, Rodrigo gave Xu Mo, who was sitting there, a glance full of killing intent before stepping away.

Vera then came to Xu Mo’s side, and Xu Mo immediately stood up and called, “Senior Sister.”

“What did he say to you?” Vera O’Brien asked coldly.

Rodrigo finding Xu Mo at this time made it easy for Vera O’Brien to suspect things.

“Nothing…” Xu Mo shrugged nonchalantly.

Vera kept her eyes on him.

“Senior Sister, some threatening words, nothing worth mentioning, I’m after all a cultivator of the Mystic God Temple, Rodrigo wouldn’t really dare to do anything to me.” Xu Mo said, appearing indifferent.

However, Vera felt chilled by Xu Mo’s words, previously she still held a sliver of hope for Rodrigo, thinking that they could still be friends given their long-time friendship.

But at this moment, Vera knew it was impossible.

Just because she was in contact with Xu Mo and cultivated together, Xu Mo received a threat warning?

Rodrigo, what did he take her for?

His person??

This has already crossed her bottom line.

So, all along, Rodrigo approached her not just with ulterior motives, but had he already considered her his possession? Ridiculous.

“Senior Sister, there’s still a point I don’t understand about the cultivation issue we talked about last time; it’s just right to discuss it with you.” Xu Mo changed the topic and didn’t say much.

Intelligent people only need to hint when interacting.

Being too deliberate may backfire.

This isn’t a conspiracy; rather, it’s an open strategy.

Rodrigo knows full well, but he will still jump into it. As long as he has designs on Vera, he will inevitably fall into the trap. Whatever he does, it’s wrong.

Unless Rodrigo does nothing and acts like nothing ever happened.

But with Rodrigo’s personality, is that possible?

Thus, this is an inevitable result; Rodrigo cannot escape.

In the time afterward, the relationship between Xu Mo and Vera not only didn’t grow distant but became closer, frequently engaging in actual combat cultivation together, discussing cultivation practices.

Vera discovered that Xu Mo’s strength was progressing terrifyingly.

Gradually, she could no longer surpass Xu Mo.

Later, Xu Mo continued to grow stronger.

Xu Mo told her he was comprehending a sword technique and had already made some progress. Once fully mastered, he would use it in real combat.

Vera sighed at this, acknowledging that Xu Mo was indeed a cultivation genius, his talent in cultivation surpassing Rodrigo’s.

Vera even had an absurd thought, perhaps Xu Mo’s combat power was fast approaching Rodrigo’s?

Meanwhile.

In the Mystic God Temple, everyone noticed the relationship between Xu Mo and Vera.

Because of this, it was heard that Vera and Rodrigo had broken off relations; because of Xu Mo, their relationship hit rock bottom.

Between Rodrigo and Xu Mo… this account is hard to settle.

Everyone knew that Rodrigo likely harbored the intent to kill Xu Mo.

This issue was frequently discussed in the Mystic God Temple, already an open secret, something everyone tacitly agreed on.

Rodrigo not only had the intent to kill Xu Mo, but now he probably wanted to kill Xu Mo’s whole family.

The opportunity seemed to have finally arrived.

That day, Xu Mo voluntarily left the Mystic God Temple to attend to some matters.

Subsequently, Rodrigo also left the Mystic God Temple.

It was an ordinary day, seemingly no different from usual.

But the Mystic God Temple was far from ordinary.

Xu Mo returned to the Mystic God Temple, heavily injured.

In an instant, the Mystic God Temple was shaken.

Later, it was reported that Xu Mo was ambushed by powerful Skywalkers when he was out, and it wasn’t just one; he narrowly escaped death and managed to flee back.

The Mystic God Temple was enraged upon hearing the news.

When Vera heard the news, she was dumbfounded, then her heart turned extremely cold.

For some reason, the first person she thought of was Rodrigo.

It wasn’t just Vera; nearly everyone in the Mystic God Temple thought of Rodrigo simultaneously.

Within Rodrigo’s family.

Rodrigo’s mood was unusually anxious at this moment when his communicator vibrated.

“What’s the matter?” Rodrigo asked as he answered.

“Rodrigo, are you crazy?” came a voice from the communicator.

“What do you mean?” Rodrigo replied.

“Did you send people to do it?” the person continued.

Rodrigo: “???”

“Speak clearly.” Rodrigo said.

“Xu Mo was assassinated, seriously injured, and fled back to the Mystic God Temple, wasn’t it you?” the person on the other end said suspiciously.

Upon hearing this, Rodrigo was stunned for a moment, his mind blank.

Soon after, he instantly recalled many things, including the enmity between him and Xu Mo and his killing intent toward Xu Mo.

In the next moment, Rodrigo’s face twisted in anger, reaching an unbearable level.

“Rodrigo, was it you?” Seeing Rodrigo not respond, the other person continued to ask.

“It was your damn mother…”

Rodrigo roared into the communicator, then hung up.

“Boom!”

A violent rage surged forth, with Rodrigo’s eyes filled with terrifying murderous intent.

Besides the intense killing intent, deep within Rodrigo’s heart, there was even a thread of panic.

He felt he might have provoked a particularly insidious character.
