Superman Termination Manual

At 10:47 a.m., on Luo Dehua Commercial Street, on the glass curtain wall of a skyscraper.

Ke Xiaomo and the Sect Master craned their necks, looking far off at the calamity dragon breed trapped within the ancient bronze bell.

It rammed into the body of the bell with near insanity, striking depression after depression into the surface of the giant bell, its savage roars interweaving with the booming of the bell.

The sounds nearly filled the entire world, thundering into Ke Xiaomo's ears like rolling thunder.

"You've been hiding this from me... for an entire half a month."

Ke Xiaomo hung his head low, his eyes shielded by his hanging hair. He asked gloomily, his shadow sword in hand crumbling away, turning into wisps and strands of shadow that fell to his fingertips.

"Yes, I feared you would make the wrong choice," the Sect Master murmured.

"But haven't you always taught me that nothing is more important than the people by your side?"

"But he is not human..." the Sect Master took a deep breath, "He's a dragon, Mo."

"I've lived with him for nearly seven years, I think I understand him better than you. Even if he has aspects of being a dragon, he also definitely has aspects of being human."

"No, you should understand, just having the part that is a dragon is enough to sentence it to death," said the Sect Master, "Exterminating the calamity dragon is the eternal fate of our Ninja Sect."

"Even if it's wrong?"

"No, it's absolutely correct. To leave those monsters unchecked is to bring disaster upon humanity."

"Then please tell me, if he is a monster, why could he have lived... in our family."

The Sect Master cut him off coldly: "Because it excels in disguising itself."

"I don't think that was a disguise."

"You've just been deceived."

"I'll say it one last time..." Ke Xiaomo paused, then said in a grave tone, "I don't think it was a disguise, he could have been a person... but he had no choice... just no choice!"

The Sect Master stared at him silently, and after a long while, he spoke.

"Today you have only one choice, protect this dragon breed, or choose to follow the greater good."

"The greater good?" Ke Xiaomo growled with a dark expression, "Master, what exactly is this greater good you speak of, why must I watch my own family member be killed by you to be considered righteous?!"

"You've just been tricked by it, Mo, don't get too caught up in the act."

Upon hearing this, Ke Xiaomo's face twitched slightly, his tone growing even darker: "If taking away someone's family from them is your idea of the greater good..."

He paused: "Then I think you're utterly wrong."

"Mo... you really are stubborn," the Sect Master said deeply, "So you mean to oppose me, and even the entire Ninja Sect?"

"No, I don't want to be your enemy, but I will not allow anyone to take the life of my family member before my eyes."

"He is the embodiment of the calamity dragon in this world," the Sect Master sternly reprimanded, "Do you know what kind of disaster this dragon will bring to the world if it continues to grow?"

"I don't care, if I can't even protect my own family, what's the point in talking about the world?"

Ke Xiaomo said with a stern voice, slowly lifting his right hand, squeezing shadow out of his fingertips, and gathering it back into a ten-foot-long shadow blade in his palm.

He raised the blade, pointing the tip at the Sect Master's head, with a face of cruelty seemingly reflected in the shadows.

"You dare to draw a blade against your master, how arrogant..." said the Sect Master.

"A second ago, I left the Ninja Sect," Ke Xiaomo paused, "So this is the last time I'll address you as 'Master'."

He took a deep breath and lowered his voice.

"Master, forgive your disciple's disrespect."

As the words fell, Ke Xiaomo had already pounced towards the Sect Master, the three-foot-long shadow sword slashing horizontally.

The Sect Master drew his tachi to counter it. At the same time, the shadow under his feet slowly expanded, like a pond becoming a lake, and even completely enveloped Ke Xiaomo's feet.

"In my shadow domain, you have no chance to use your Shadow Shapeshifting Skill, which means... you don't even have the chance to escape," said the Sect Master calmly, "Give up now, Mo."

"From the moment I drew my blade, I never thought of leaving any way out for myself."

"I taught you myself, I know you better than anyone, you don't stand a chance against me!"

"Then you should be clearer than anyone else that I will not compromise!"

Ke Xiaomo roared each word, forcing the Sect Master's tachi away with brute strength, his body rebounding several meters backward.

In the blink of an eye, he crouched on the glass curtain wall, and like a spring, he shot forward, the sharp blade tip targeting the Sect Master's chest.

"How ignorant," the Sect Master said with a glint in his eye, standing his tachi upright and accurately blocking the blade tip of Ke Xiaomo with the middle of his blade.

At the same time, the shadow under the Sect Master's feet roiled like a deep lake, bulging and quickly solidifying into the shape of a giant lion's shadow behind him.

As the lion's shadow emerged, the Sect Master's strength suddenly surged by over a hundredfold. His figure overlapped with that of the lion's shadow, the tachi exactly at the part where the lion's teeth would be.

Immediately after, Ke Xiaomo's shadow sword shattered from the fierce collision, and he was thrown back dozens of meters in an instant.

But before he could catch his breath,

The Sect Master merged with the shadow-cast lion and pounced instantly, the feral teeth and claws tossing Ke Xiaomo into the air.

Under the fierce gust, the glass curtain wall along the way shattered explosively.

As Ke Xiaomo was blasted into the air, the Sect Master, once again at an unimaginable speed, moved with the shadow lion on the surface of the glass curtain wall, instantly reaching the top of the high rise.
