Eternal Sacred King Chapter 166 to 170

 Chapter 166: Tsunami Blood

Three black flashes of light tore through the air and came close in the blink of an eye with a chilling intent!

The black robed cultivator was still charging forward with his initial momentum. Without any time to think, he collapsed to his knees immediately and had his body fall backwards.

With such a dodging method, everyone behind the black robed cultivator suffered.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

The sounds of arrows piercing through flesh rang out constantly as blood splattered all over. Tragic shrieks could be heard and the crowd fell onto the ground in a terrible mess.

Due to inertia, the black robed cultivator’s knees slid a distance forward, tearing the bottom of his robes and staining them with mud.

Sitting up straight, there was a faint scar of blood between the eyes of the black robed cultivator that was extremely glaring.

Even though he had already reacted extremely quickly, he was still a tad slower and the arrow cut his glabella.

Instantly, the pupils of the black robed cultivator turned dark as ink. In fact, even the whites of his eyes were veiled with a dark fog. As malevolent aura shrouded him, he ordered coldly, “I don’t care who shot that arrow. Today, you’re definitely going to...”

Before he could finish, a voice rang from the fork.

“Shut up.”

The voice sounded impatient and commanding.

That enraged the black robed cultivator – here, no one else could order him around!

Just as he was about to finish his sentence with ‘die for sure’, another cold flash of light appeared accompanied by a buzzing sound – it was yet another arrow!

The black robed cultivator had no choice but to swallow his words before he could finish and bend over that straightened body of his once more.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

The cultivators behind him were the victims again.

At the fork.

The girl in pink and Yan Fei had already escaped.

Looking at Su Zimo who was shooting the arrows, the girl in pink frowned. Gritting her teeth, she glared and questioned, “Su Zimo, weren’t you afraid that your arrows might have hit us just now?”

Su Zimo gave the girl in pink a cold look. Without saying anything, he gestured towards the other path on the fork, indicating for her to head in that direction.

Biting her red lips, the girl in pink said in a low voice, “Remember that your mission is to protect my safety!”

Still expressionless, Su Zimo looked at the fork road where the black robed cultivator was and suddenly asked, “Those are people of the fiend sects?”

“That’s right, they are disciples of fiend sects!”

The girl in pink nodded hurriedly.

“Oh.”

Su Zimo replied and turned to look at the girl in pink, replying indifferently, “I never show mercy to anyone from fiend sects. If I meet one, I kill one!”

He truly bore a deep hatred towards fiend sects.

Back in Yan Country, Joyful Sect was not of the orthodox path. Furthermore, he had personally witnessed the cruel methods of the fiend sects where hundreds of thousands of innocents suffered tragic deaths in Linfeng City!

Even though Su Zimo’s comment seemed casual, it felt like he was implying something as well.

A glint flashed in the girl in pink’s eyes as she smiled. “You can’t be so sure of that.”

Su Zimo did not say anything and hung the Sanguine Crystal Bow on his back. Pulling out the Cold Moon Saber from his waist, he headed for the fork road.

The black robed cultivator charged over with his black bone spear only to see a scholarly looking green robed man headed for his direction. The man was slinging a blood red bow and a quiver on his back, holding a long saber in his hands.

“You were the one who fired the arrows?”

The eyes of the black robed cultivator lit up as his lips curled slightly. With a cruel look in his eyes, he strode forth and stabbed with the spear!

Malevolent aura surrounded the bone spear, gushing out like black ink.

Even though he had not injected any spirit energy, the might of that bone spear far surpassed other weapons.

Su Zimo’s expression was unchanged as he twisted his wrist and slashed up with the Cold Moon Saber.

Clang!

The bone spear was flung away by the Cold Moon Saber.

“Oh?”

The black robed cultivator exclaimed softly with a look of surprise, wondering internally, “What’s the background of this person?”

In this place, he had not to come across a cultivator that could not only defend against his bone spear, but force it away!

Of the seven fiend sects, there were only three that imparted high quality body tempering techniques. The strongest among those three was Overlord Palace followed by Malevolent Earth Sect and lastly, Hidden Death Sect.

Even though disciples of the other four fiend sects tempered their bodies as well, they merely did it by making use of spirit qi and energy.

That was the most common form of body tempering.

However, compared to true body-tempering cultivators, those cultivators were much weaker in melee combat.

As the fiend heir of this generation’s Malevolent Earth Sect, the black robed cultivator’s melee combat strength needed no elaboration.

Before entering this place, the black robed cultivator only considered two people in this inheritance ground that was worth his attention – the fiend heirs of Overlord Palace and Hidden Death Sect.

There was naturally no way this green robed scholar before him was the fiend heir of Overlord Palace.

Even though the fiend heir of Hidden Death Sect was known as the thousand-faced assassin and no one had seen his true appearance, his choice of weapon was constant. It was the Blade of Assassins – Hidden Death Sect’s heritage weapon!

A long and slender sword, the Blade of Assassins was unlike the saber in front of him.

Swish!

After repelling the bone spear, Su Zimo’s Cold Moon Saber did not rest and continued slashing forth, aimed for the cheek of the black robed cultivator!

Before the attack arrived, the black robed cultivator could already feel its chilling intent!

If not for the fact that he had tempered his body with spirit and malevolent qi over many years, the black robed cultivator may have turned stiff against the aura of that attack.

“How strong!”

The black robed cultivator did not dare to be careless as he hurriedly retreated and dodged the attack.

In that short while, the other cultivators of Malevolent Earth Sect swarmed from the fork road and surrounded Su Zimo.

“Fufu, what a pity that someone of your skills will have to die here!”

Laughing, the black robed cultivator channeled his bloodline and instantly, his eyes turned black as ink without any traces of white in them!

A faint malevolent aura was emitted from him.

With an indifferent expression, Su Zimo shook the saber in his hands and his bloodline began to churn as well.

“I’ll let you have a proper burial today!”

The black robed cultivator bellowed and released his power of blood before charging forth. With a flick of his bone spear, a huge circular arc appeared. Black gas swirled around as the tip of the spear fluttered, making it difficult to tell what it was.

At the side, the other Malevolent Earth Sect cultivators struck as well.

“Fufufu...”

Su Zimo burst out into laughter, his eyes filled with killing intent!

Splash! Splash!

Before his laughter ended, the black robed cultivator and everyone else heard the gushing of an ocean.

That sound came from the body of that green robed scholar!

“What!”

“That’s the sound when one channels their bloodline!”

“What a strong bloodline! Could it be... the legendary tsunami blood realm?”

Everyone’s expressions changed in disbelief.

Body tempering techniques were differentiated into high and low qualities.

Low quality body tempering techniques merely tempered one’s skin, flesh, tendons and bones.

However, a high quality body tempering technique could achieve an effect of swapping blood using the bone marrow!

For high quality body tempering techniques, there would always be mention of a specific realm for blood swapping – lead mercury amalgam. What it meant was that every single drop of blood in that realm would be as heavy, tough, dense and powerful as lead and mercury!

That was an extremely high realm of blood swapping and was difficult to achieve.

Above lead mercury amalgam, there was an even more mystical realm – tsunami blood!

It was said that if a body tempered cultivator of that realm were to channel his bloodline, his body would produce the gushing sounds of a tsunami and burst forth with explosive power!

Each time a cultivator as such attacked, he would carry the surging aura of a tsunami as though he wanted to annihilate the world. Power as such was unstoppable and terrifying beyond words!

Chapter 167: I’ll Kill You First!

Everyone was shocked when they heard the sound of tsunami blood.

Immediately, the expressions of the black robed cultivator and everyone else changed once more – disbelief spread across their faces as their pupils contracted!

Bang! Boom! Boom!

There was also a faint sound of thunder amidst the sound of tsunamis! It was deep, powerful and shocking!

“What is this?”

“Why is there thunder in that tsunami sound?”

After cultivating two top-notch Marrow Cleansing techniques, Su Zimo’s realm was not comparable to a mere tsunami blood.

The sound of his bloodline was like thunder, resonating like a tiger and leopard!

This was the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, something unheard of in Tianhuang Mainland!

Not to mention the black robed cultivator, even the patriarch level demons of Malevolent Earth Sect would not be able to recognize the origin of this bloodline.

Each time Su Zimo released his power of blood now, he would not only possess the grandeur of a tsunami, he would also possess the ferocity of tigers and leopards alongside the intense power of thunder!

A bedazzling streak of lightning appeared on the Cold Moon Saber and illuminated the darkness around them!

The expression of the black robed cultivator changed starkly.

Malevolent qi had a Yin attribute and was mostly hidden underground beneath the Nine Hells. What it feared most was an unyielding power such as thunder.

The bone spear he was wielding was tempered using malevolent qi. Even merely waving it without any stances would produce considerable power.

Coupled with the malevolent qi in his bloodline, the might of the bone spear was even greater!

But right now, the trump card of the black robed cultivator was suppressed entirely by Su Zimo!

Without any time to think, the black robed cultivator retracted his spear alongside the changing momentum of the fight. Gripping his bone spear tightly with both hands, he gave up on offense and went for complete defense.

Clang!

The Cold Moon Saber struck the bone spear heavily.

Pitch black malevolent qi had just gushed up from the bone spear and was suppressed by a brilliant surge of lightning immediately.

The body of the black robed cultivator trembled in shock. With a low grunt, he retreated repeatedly as his arms ached in soreness terribly.

Actually, he was not weaker than Su Zimo in terms of strength.

However, the power of thunder was an innate weakness for malevolent qi. Even if the black robed cultivator was strong, he could only exert less than 70% of his strength and was forced to retreat against Su Zimo!

If this was the case for a fiend heir of Malevolent Earth Sect, it was even worse for the rest.

Sword beams and shadows flashed repeatedly as a group of Malevolent Earth Sect cultivators surrounded Su Zimo.

He narrowed his eyes.

It was unrealistic to think he would be able to kill the black robed cultivator in a short period of time. If he was held up by the latter, he might very well fall into an entrapment.

No matter how weak those Malevolent Earth Sect cultivators were, they were also body tempered cultivators.

Su Zimo did not dare to be overconfident. His eyes lit up as he roared into the skies. Bursting with his feet, he dashed to the side and slashed out with his Cold Moon Saber!

It was a ferocious attack!

With a loud snap, the weapon in a Malevolent Earth Sect cultivator’s hands was severed by Su Zimo. His entire body was cleaved into two as blood gushed out, splattering his organs to the ground and filling the air with a stench of blood.

Poof! Poof!

Su Zimo flipped his hand and the Cold Moon Saber made two more arcs.

Two Malevolent Earth Sect cultivators felt a stinging pain on their throats as a thin, blood scar formed on their necks. After a slight delay, a blood mist sprayed out from them!

Su Zimo sidestepped and slashed out a bloody path in a domineering manner. He did not pause at all as weapons started falling in all directions.

After he rushed out, Su Zimo almost did not stop at all before charging back!

Swoosh!

With a slash of his saber, his blood surged and thunder rumbled.

“Ah!”

A Malevolent Earth Sect cultivator roared and channeled his blood. He lifted a large shield with his upper body and charged forth!

Boom!

A deafening sound could be heard when the Cold Moon Saber landed on the shield.

Right after, the sound of bones cracking could be heard.

Behind the shield, the face of the Malevolent Earth Sect cultivator was ashen. His bones were completely shattered as he collapsed to the ground, coughing out blood as life drained out of him.

That strike caused everyone watching to tremble in fear as their teeth chattered!

Su Zimo did not know of any saber techniques at all.

His attacks were all discovered through actual combat. With large saber strikes, his bearing was magnificent and extremely forceful.

Of the Malevolent Earth Sect cultivators, the black robed cultivator was the only one who could withstand Su Zimo’s power head on.

For the rest, the best outcome was for their weapons to be hit away from their hands. The worst... would be death on the spot!

Because no one was able to face Su Zimo head on, the many cultivators of Malevolent Earth Sect could not form their circular attack formation.

“Lad, you’re from an immortal sect?” The black robed cultivator frowned and questioned.

“Immortal sect?”

Su Zimo frowned.

He only understood many of the things he did not know in the past after joining Ethereal Peak.

Immortal... that was a word that no one was qualified to use in the cultivation world and many people would not dare to either.

If immortal cultivation was that simple, why would it be called cultivation?

Back in Ping Yang Town when Su Zimo saw Perfected Being Cang Lang, he thought that was an immortal who was backed by an immortal sect.

But in reality, Perfected Being Cang Lang could only be considered a cultivator and Iridescent Clouds Palace was merely one of the five major sects, not an immortal sect.

Within the region of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no one had heard of the existence of an immortal sect.

The black robed cultivator took Su Zimo’s silence as acknowledgment and felt slightly better internally.

The nine immortal and seven fiend sects were on par – they were the top factions of Tianhuang Mainland.

If this green robed scholar was a successor of an immortal sect, it would make sense for his bloodline to be this powerful.

“Fellow daoist, you’ve got quite the guts. As someone of an immortal sect, how dare you interfere in the affairs of our fiend sects? From what I know, cultivators of all seven fiend sects are here today. Other than me, the other five fiend heirs are here too!”

The black robed cultivator scoffed coldly, “It’ll be wise of you to leave now. If you really bump into that lunatic from Overlord Palace, you won’t be able to leave if you wanted to!”

Seven fiend sects?

Demon heir?

Overlord Palace?

Those words were extremely foreign to Su Zimo and he had not heard of them before.

But, since they were from fiend sects, it made no difference to Su Zimo – he would just kill them all!

“Oh?”

Su Zimo raised his brow and asked in reverse, “So, that means you’re the fiend heir of Malevolent Earth Sect?”

“That’s right!”

The black robed cultivator replied proudly.

“That’s perfect.”

Su Zimo’s eyes lit up brightly with an even more ferocious killing intent. He declared coldly, “Since we’ve met, I’ll kill you first!”

“Oh?”

The black robed cultivator was rattled as his heart skipped a beat.

He had not expected that his statement would not only fail to scare off Su Zimo, but bring forth killing intent instead!

In theory, any one from immortal sects would want to keep a safe distance no matter what if they heard news of the fiend heirs gathering.

The gathering of fiend heirs was equivalent to the gathering of the top successors of the fiend sects.

With that, what other Tianhuang Mainland cultivator of the same level would dare to linger at a place as such?

That was unless legacy disciples of the nine immortal sects were gathered as well!

However, the black robed cultivator would not have guessed that Su Zimo’s fearlessness was not because he was confident in his skills. Rather, it was because Su Zimo wasn’t someone of an immortal sect and nor had he heard of the name of the seven fiend sects.

“Damn it, yet another lunatic!”

The black robed cultivator cursed internally, “Which one of the nine immortal sects produced such a freak? And worse still, why the hell was I the one to bump into him?!”

Before that thought of his was finished, Su Zimo had already arrived before him.

“Boom!”

With the Plow Heaven Stride, a huge ravine appeared on the ground. It was a terrifying sight!

Chapter 168: Forced Retreat

With the Plow Heaven Stride, Su Zimo’s aura became even stronger.

In that sheer instant, the black robed cultivator had a hallucination that a gigantic fissure was ripped out in the skies above him!

Su Zimo swung his Cold Moon Saber and drew an arc in the air. Cleaving down viciously at the head of the black robed cultivator, his saber was filled with a cold aura and sharp killing intent!

Not daring to clash head on, the black robed cultivator took a sidestep and glided beside Su Zimo. His bone spear struck out like a viper from a tricky angle.

“Oh?”

He narrowed his eyes.

At that moment, he had many options. He could repel the incoming bone spear with his Cold Moon Saber or he could dodge the attack and retaliate after.

However, both options would eliminate the advantage that Su Zimo had just accumulated.

Besides, it was inappropriate for him to fight the other party overly given such circumstances where he was surrounded by multiple enemies.

The best way of getting out of this situation was to kill the black robed cultivator using thunder methods. That would destroy the minds of the Malevolent Earth Sect cultivators completely!

Faced with the incoming bone spear, Su Zimo’s eyes lit up and he hollered, “Good strike!”

He did not evade or dodge at all. Instead, he opened his palm like a fan and grabbed the bone spear!

At the same time, Su Zimo changed strategy and stopped his downward cleave. Flicking his wrist, he held the Cold Moon Saber in reverse and slashed at the black robed cultivator’s threat.

“You must be courting death!”

The black robed cultivator harrumphed coldly.

No one would be able to defend against his bone spear barehanded.

He believed even that lunatic from Overlord Palace could not do it!

The black robed cultivator was absolutely confident that he would stab Su Zimo in the chest after crushing his arm, piercing his heart and killing him on the spot.

Right as Su Zimo’s palm was about to make contact with the black robed cultivator’s bone spear, a strange change happened!

A ball of lightning suddenly formed on Su Zimo’s palm. It was bedazzling and coiled like an electric viper, crackling incessantly.

“Oh?”

“Thunder art!”

The black robed cultivator’s expression changed as he could not help but exclaim.

Even though Su Zimo’s Cold Moon Saber had lightning flashing on it previously, no one thought too much – they merely assumed that it was similar to the bone spear and was made from unique spirit materials that had lightning attributes. It was merely a spirit weapon.

But right now, a ball of lightning was formed in Su Zimo’s palm! What did that mean?

The black robed cultivator’s first thought was that it was a thunder art.

However, he realized that wasn’t possible.

With the ancient spirit lock formation, all Foundation Establishment Cultivators had their spirit energy locked. Even if this green robed scholar was from an immortal sect, he was no exception.

Bloodline!

Suddenly, a thought flashed through the black robed cultivator’s mind.

When Su Zimo channeled his blood previously, it not only emitted tsunami sounds but also the rumbling of thunder.

This power of thunder originated from his bloodline!

As the black robed cultivator thought, Su Zimo’s palm had already made contact with the bone spear.

Instantly, the malevolent qi on the bone spear dissipated into emptiness and dispersed.

The black robed cultivator was not fazed. Even though the power of thunder could suppress the malevolent qi in his bone spear, Su Zimo’s palm was flesh and blood after all and could not be compared to his bone spear.

With a feral look on his face, the black robed cultivator’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He roared and exerted strength in both arms, shaking his bone spear, bent on crushing Su Zimo’s palm.

Suddenly, the black robed cultivator’s expression froze.

Su Zimo’s palm turned soft all of a sudden and coiled around his bone spear like a tongue!

Bam!

The bone spear quivered and let out a dull ringing sound.

“Ah!”

Yelling in pain, the palm of the black robed cultivator shattered. Blood splattered all over the place as the bone spear flew from his hand.

At the same time, he felt a chilling intent striking from his side that had him feeling as though he had fallen into an ice cavern.

The Cold Moon Saber was slashing over!

“Not good!”

The black robed cultivator’s heart skipped a beat. It was too late by the time he wanted to dodge.

Su Zimo’s choice of receiving the black robed cultivator’s bone spear barehanded was just so he could kill the latter within a single move!

With the death of the black robed cultivator, the other cultivators of the Malevolent Earth Sect that were like chickens and dogs would be of no threat to him.

“Oh?”

All of a sudden!

As though he sensed something, Su Zimo’s expression changed slightly.

In a split second, a warning flashed in his heart and he felt a cold, murderous intent.

It was a familiar killing intent.

He had felt this from the assassin that pretended to be a dead corpse when they had just entered this place!

Su Zimo did not know when that corpse had infiltrated this place and what he was disguised as this time round.

The only thing he knew was that he would be buried here if he was any slower!

At that thought, Su Zimo halted his Cold Moon Saber.

The black robed cultivator was, after all, a fiend heir of Malevolent Earth Sect. He had been through countless battles and there was no way he would give up an opportunity as such.

Leaning back, the black robed cultivator landed on the ground firmly and retreated furiously.

Su Zimo did not stay at the same spot either. Suddenly, he sidestepped and lowered his body, using both hands and legs on the ground like a giant python that was maneuvering grass.

Shing!

A long, thin sword landed on the spot where Su Zimo stood earlier on, leaving a shocking sword scar in the ground.

If Su Zimo was half a step slower, a bloodied hole would have appeared on his body!

The person who struck out the sword was mixed in with the cultivators of Malevolent Earth Sect. Even though he looked no different from anyone else, the long, thin sword he was wielding appeared unique.

His gaze landing on the sword, the black robed cultivator narrowed his eyes and let out a low cry, “Thousand-faced Assassin!”

Even though the thousand-faced assassin’s identity was revealed, there was no fluctuation in his expression and his gaze converged with no luster.

Without saying a single word, the thousand-faced assassin flicked his wrist and the long, thin sword strangely disappeared. Following that, his body flashed like a ghost and he disappeared into the fork.

With that missed attack, he fled right on the spot and did not give Su Zimo any chances.

The black robed cultivator’s eyes flickered as he waved his hand and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go!”

As soon as he said that, the black robed cultivator continued down the fork with the many Malevolent Earth Sect cultivators following suit.

Su Zimo’s expression changed. After weighing his options on the spot, he turned and left, headed for the direction of the girl in pink.

Even though it was a short exchange of blows, this incident would definitely cause quite a stir if the cultivation world knew about it.

It wasn’t just anyone who could force a retreat out of two fiend heirs singlehandedly.

But of course, there were two reasons why Su Zimo gave up on chasing after the black robed cultivator.

Initially, he had intended to end the battle in the swiftest possible manner by killing the black robed cultivator using thunder methods.

Now that the black robed cultivator retreated into the fork under the protection of many, it wasn’t a realistic option for Su Zimo to pursue any longer.

Furthermore, there might be a supreme killer hidden along that fork road.

The second reason was because of the girl in pink.

Su Zimo had promised to ensure her safety.

Even though he had already vaguely guessed her identity, he had to fulfill his promise before he was absolutely certain and could not afford to linger here for too long.

Moreover, the itinerant cultivator, Yan Fei, was around the girl in pink.

Su Zimo had long noticed that there was something amiss with the way Yan Fei looked at the girl in pink.

Chapter 169: A Pool of Blood

The girl in pink and Yan Fei ran non stop through the fork.

Yan Fei’s head was lowered and his eyes flashed with a changing expression – no one could read his thoughts.

After a moment, a cold glint flashed in Yan Fei’s eyes as though he had made up his mind about something. Moving forward suddenly, he pinned the girl in pink against the wall.

He raised his arm and choked it around the girl in pink’s throat, almost pressing himself against her entirely.

“Ugh...”

The girl in pink grunted softly and frowned, asking, “What are you doing? It hurts.”

The tender voice of the girl in pink seduced itself into Yan Fei’s heart, causing it to skip a beat. Instinctively, he loosened his grip even though he did not remove his arm still.

Leaning in, Yan Fei stared keenly into the girl in pink’s eyes. He spoke with a warm moisture in his breath, “Demoness Ji, do you really think I’m like those fools of Southern Mountains Sect? You thought that I came to this place because I was bewitched by your charm as well?”

“What are you talking about?” The girl in pink blinked huge, innocent eyes and asked in puzzlement.

“Fufufufu!”

Yan Fei smiled lecherously. “Stop pretending. Others may not know of your identity, but which disciple of fiend sects would not know who you are? Furthermore, I’ve been coveting your body for the longest time, hehe.”

The girl in pink’s gaze turned cold as she asked, “You’re from Cloud Rain Sect?”

“Smart.”

Yan Fei praised. “No wonder you’re this generation’s pure maiden.”

With an unchanged expression, the girl in pink asked again, “Did Shangguan Yu send you?”

“Him?”

Yan Fei scoffed coldly, “Even though he’s the fiend heir of Cloud Rain Sect, he can’t command me! As long as I obtain your body, I’ll make a name for myself within the fiend sects and gain a huge boost in my powers! I’ll trample Shangguan Yu beneath my feet and replace him to be the new fiend heir of Cloud Rain Sect! Demoness Ji, surrender that precious pure maiden essence in your body to me!”

“Y-You’re doing it here? W-What if s-someone comes?” Finally, a hint of panic flashed in the girl in pink’s eyes as she asked with a trembling voice.

Yan Fei laughed. “Don’t worry, I’ll take you out of this place right away so we don’t get involved in this mess. As long as I obtain your pure maiden essence, it won’t matter whether or not we get the inheritance of this place. Furthermore, there’s that lunatic of Overlord Palace. Even if a couple of you fiend heirs combine forces, you might not be a match for him.”

“B-Brother Yan! If I lose my virginity, my status as the pure maiden will be gone and I won’t be able to stay in the sect any longer. C-Can you not abandon Yan’er?”

The girl in pink wept as she said pitifully, “Brother Yan, as long as you don’t let me down, I’m willing to serve you like a slave for the rest of my life without forsaking you.”

Yan Fei’s heart softened.

For the pure maiden of the fiend sects to beg pitifully, there was no one who could turn down such a request heartlessly.

However, today was a rare opportunity that Yan Fei could not possibly give up.

“Yan’er, don’t worry. As long as I obtain your pure maiden essence, I’ll definitely not abandon you.”

Yan Fei replied gently, “You under Cloud Rain Sect as well. If I become Cloud Rain Sect’s fiend heir, I’ll have no lack of women around me. However, I guarantee that there’ll always be a place for you!”

“Is that so?”

Right then, the girl in pink exhaled with the fragrance of flowers. Lifting her veil gently, she revealed a flawless smile and a soul stealing pink glint flickered through her eyes.

Yan Fei was slightly taken aback and his expression stiffened, a momentary daze appearing in his eyes.

“Not good!”

The next moment, he was alarmed! Just as he was about to exert force through his arm, he felt a throbbing pain in his chest as he was drained of energy.

In that moment when Yan Fei was dazed, the girl in pink suddenly struck and punched Yan Fei on the chest fiercely, injuring his heart severely.

Right after, her arm climbed up Yan Fei’s chest like a fair snake. Spreading her slender fingers, she grabbed Yan Fei’s throat.

Snap!

The girl in pink’s gaze was ice-cold and she was extremely decisive, pinching it without hesitation!

Yan Fei’s throat ruptured and he died on the spot, his eyes filled with indignance.

The entire process lasted for a very short period of time. When Yan Fei’s body collapsed to the ground, the girl in pink’s veil fell slowly and covered that ravishing face of hers once more.

Su Zimo had just arrived in time to see the girl in pink retract her hand.

Her palm was smooth as jade, shining and delicate. It was hard to imagine that a mere palm was so shockingly beautiful that it seemed like the most precious treasure in the world!

Even though she had just killed someone, there wasn’t a single drop of blood on her palm.

After killing Yan Fei, the girl in pink felt something and glanced sideways.

When she saw Su Zimo, the coldness in her gaze disappeared. Whimpering, she pounced over like a swallow returning to its nest while saying, “Brother Su, that was a close call! I was nearly bullied just now!”

Su Zimo’s expression was indifferent, totally unmoved.

When she pounced at him, he took a sidestep and dodged aside.

Throwing herself into the air, the girl in pink pouted her red lips in grievance and confusion. Tears welled up in her eyes that seemed as though they could flow at any moment.

After pausing for a moment, the girl in pink seemed to recall something as she asked in concern, “Brother Su, are you alright? Did those people from the demonic Malevolent Earth Sect hurt you?”

Su Zimo did not reply and said suddenly, “Let’s continue ahead.”

“Yes, alright.”

The girl in pink nodded obediently.

“Since it’s your sect’s inheritance ground, you know what’s there to be inherited, right?” Along the way, Su Zimo asked casually.

“Perhaps some cultivation techniques or secret skills?”

The girl in pink replied ambiguously, “After all, I’ve never been to this place before too so I don’t know the exact details.”

Pausing for a moment, she continued, “But I’ve got a feeling that we’re almost reaching the end.”

In the underground fork road, there was always a thin black fog that emitted a faint smell of blood. As Su Zimo and the girl in pink went deeper, the stench of blood grew thicker.

Su Zimo speculated that even though there were many complex fork roads underground, if they were to head for a single direction, all of those roads would lead to the same endpoint.

True enough.

After walking for a while, Su Zimo and the girl in pink walked out of another fork. The scenery in front of them changed and suddenly became bright.

This was an extremely spacious area. Around them, the mountain walls were steep with many dense cracks – those cracks led to the countless connecting forks outside.

In the middle of this place was a gigantic pool with a sparkling surface – this was where the black fog wafted out from.

Su Zimo focused his gaze and could not help but take a deep breath as chills ran down his spine.

The color of the pool was dark and grisly red!

It was a pool of blood!

How many people’s blood did it take to form such a pool?

The girl in pink looked at the blood pool with a glint and fervor in the depth of her eyes.

Chapter 170: Demon Heirs Gathered

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

About a hundred feet away from the blood pool, a cultivator with a buzz cut sat in a lotus position. There was a thick black spear embedded in the ground beside him – it was even taller than Su Zimo.

The buzz cut cultivator had his eyes closed. Breathing steadily, his face was sharp as a knife and his upper body was bare. Every single inch of his muscles shone with a bronze luster, as though watered by molten steel, it gave off a feeling of strength.

There was no one within a radius of 100 meters around the person – there was only the long, thick spear.

The moment Su Zimo saw that person, he felt an immense pressure!

It was an unrestrained, violent aura that dominated the entire place!

“That person is very strong!”

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat.

Even though the presence of the ancient spirit lock formation meant that one could only rely on their melee combat skills, Su Zimo was not invincible.

He was only at the Marrow Cleansing section of The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness and it wasn’t at greater mastery yet. Even with the support of the marrow cleansing sutra of the Void Thunder Manual, his power was only equivalent to that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

The girl in pink frowned slightly when she looked at the buzz cut cultivator.

Demon heir of Overlord Palace – Pang Yue!

Regarded by many disciples of fiend sects as the lunatic of Overlord Palace, Pang Yue was domineering in his actions and possessed extreme combat strength. He was also the only one who would be so confident to head to this place alone.

On the other end of the blood pool stood more than a hundred cultivators in the same get up – it was clear they were from the same faction.

Leading them was a man in purple robes. Hands behind his back, he had a deep and mysterious gaze. His eyes looked like they were able to emit a light of illusion that could bewitch one’s heart.

To the side of the purple robed cultivator, there were dozens of other cultivators with their leader donning a crimson red robe. With pursed lips, his face was expressionless and he had an extremely cold gaze.

Su Zimo swept his gaze and could roughly tell that excluding them, there were three factions at this place.

The buzz cut cultivator was alone, the purple robed cultivator with his hundred odd cultivators and the crimson robed cultivator with his dozens of cultivators.

Of course, it could also be four factions.

If Su Zimo was right, the corpse that tried to assassinate him twice previously should not belong to either of these three factions. Including him, there were four factions.

If that corpse was here, given his disguise skills, he would not be found by Su Zimo until he let out any killing intent.

When Su Zimo and the girl in pink arrived, the cultivators of the three factions reacted differently.

The buzz cut cultivator was motionless – he did not even open his eyes.

The purple robed cultivator looked at the girl in pink and smirked coldly.

The crimson robed cultivator was indifferently cold and remained silent.

The commonality of the three factions was that all of them subconsciously ignored Su Zimo.

Right then, at a fork road not far away, a group of cultivators arrived. They were led by a man in black robes – those were the Malevolent Earth Sect cultivators that Su Zimo had exchanged blows with previously.

When the black robed cultivator caught sight of Su Zimo, his pupils constricted slightly and there was a flash of killing intent.

Initially, the black robed cultivator brought more than a hundred men with him. However, more than twenty of them were slain after that short exchange of blows with Su Zimo. In fact, he nearly died as well!

Before long, another couple of people appeared. They were led by an extremely handsome man. Holding a folding fan, the man had a jade-like complexion. His eyes were akin to sparkling stars and he had an extraordinary bearing. Coupled with a set of white robes, he was what people would refer to as a dashing gentleman.

The man carried a faint smile and had a gentle gaze.

Compared to the buzz cut and purple robed cultivator, he was considered normal and did not seem as though he was from a fiend sect.

The white robed man was accompanied by four stunning women. All of them had beautiful looks and graceful figures, exuding different styles of their own.

Turning his gaze, the white robed man looked at the girl in pink and said gently, “Yan’er, this place is so dangerous. Come to my side?”

“Hehe.”

The girl in pink chuckled. “Shangguan Yu, sorry to disappoint you. But, an idiot of your Cloud Rain Sect was killed by me!”

“Oh.”

The white robed cultivator named Shangguan Yu did not seem surprised at all as he nodded. “Yan Fei? I expected that he would die. Only, I did not think that he would die so quickly. I thought that he would be able to arrive here with you at least.”

“Even though he’s a disciple of Cloud Rain Sect, he committed a most heinous mistake,” The girl in pink replied.

“Fufu.”

Shangguan Yu laughed. “He’s just an ordinary fiend sect disciple. How can he be a match for the pure maiden of our fiend sects? It’s only normal that he would die.”

Pausing for a moment, Shangguan Yu swept his gaze across Shangguan Yu and fanned himself, asking in a seemingly casual manner, “Yan’er, who is that?”

“He’s my bodyguard,” The girl in pink walked forward, slung her arm around Su Zimo’s shoulders, and replied in a tired voice.

“Oh?”

Shangguan Yu smiled and said faintly, “He’s quite capable to be able to get here... it’s just a pity he’s about to die.”

Right then, Su Zimo turned sideways and looked at the girl in pink. There was a flash of mockery in his eyes as he said calmly, “Pure Maiden of the fiend sects. Indeed, you’re someone of the fiend sects.”

“I didn’t want to hide it from you either, but...”

The girl in pink was about to explain when she was interrupted by Su Zimo, “I’ve already said this previously. Anyone of the fiend sects, if I meet one, I kill one!”

“Pfft!”

Upon hearing this, someone could not help but laugh out loud.

What was this place?

Who were the people in this place?

That green robed cultivator must be truly stupid to dare say such a thing!

“Hahahaha!”

A series of laughter broke out from the crowd. Even the buzz cut cultivator who had closed his eyes the entire time turned his head to look at Su Zimo.

“Who is this person? What a riot!”

“I don’t know. Maybe there’s something wrong with his brains such that he’s starting to spout nonsense.”

Almost everyone present was laughing. However, the black robed cultivator from Malevolent Earth Sect was not.

Shangguan Yu smiled. “Yan’er, that cultivator is quite interesting. I almost can’t bear to kill him.”

The girl in pink ignored everyone else. She looked at Su Zimo and said aggrievedly, “Brother Su, you promised that you would protect me.”

“Yes.”

Su Zimo nodded. His next words nearly made the girl in pink vomit blood from anger.

“I’m going back on my words,” Su Zimo continued expressionlessly.

Gritting her teeth, the girl in pink said, “How can you be this shameless? Don’t forget, I gave you more than 400,000 spirit stones!”

Su Zimo pointed at the surrounding cultivators and said in a low voice, “If I’m not wrong, they are all from fiend sects as well. The inheritance ground here belongs to you guys of the fiend sects!”

“You lured me to this place with ill intentions. If I didn’t have some tricks up my sleeves, I would have ended up in the same situation as Wu Xiangming, Yan Fei and the rest! For 400,000 spirit stones, I can protect you. But buying my life with that amount? That’s too cheap!”

At that moment, the girl in pink was alarmed.

Both of them were so close that she could truly feel Su Zimo’s killing intent.

The girl in pink’s body stiffened as though she had fallen into an ice cavern.

She knew that if she did not handle this correctly, the green robed man would truly kill her!

“Y-You can’t kill me.”

The girl in pink suddenly said.

Su Zimo remained silently and merely glared at the girl in pink coldly; his palm was already on the handle of the Cold Moon Saber.

Reaching out, the girl in pink removed her veil slowly and revealed a flawlessly beautiful face. She said softly, “My name is Ji Yaoyan.”
