Eternal Sacred King Chapter 176 to 180

 Chapter 176: Terrifying Lunatic

Boom!

Pang Yue pulled out the black spear that was embedded in the ground, causing the earth to crack and mud splattered everywhere.

Dragging his huge spear, Pang Yue strode in a domineering manner to Su Zimo and said, “I don’t know which immortal sect you’re from, but I guess your master must have spent a lot of effort to nurture you. But... what a pity.”

“Even though your bloodline has reached the legendary tsunami blood, your body tempering isn’t at a greater mastery yet. You are too weak to be my match!”

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself about how powerful this person was.

Before they even exchanged blows, Pang Yue had already seen through him.

Pang Yue was not wrong. Even though Su Zimo’s bloodline was terrifying and he was strong, Marrow Cleansing was only the fourth section of The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness.

In terms of body tempering, Su Zimo had yet to cultivate the Organs Refinement and Orifice Clearing sections.

Sizzle!

The spear tip slashed across the ground, producing strange sounds.

Amidst the sound, Pang Yue’s heavy footsteps could be heard.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

He was neither slow nor fast, but it was forceful. Every single step he took seemed as if he was stepping on the beat of Su Zimo’s heart, giving the latter a feeling of dread.

As Pang Yue approached, his aura grew stronger and stronger. On the contrary, Su Zimo’s aura was being crushed completely!

In the eyes of the onlookers, Pang Yue seemed to have transformed into an ancient demon a hundred feet tall, overlooking Su Zimo who was tiny as an ant right now.

Of course, that was just an illusion of the crowd that was caused by the auras of both parties and the circumstances alongside various reasons.

Shangguan Yu was secretly shocked by Pang Yue’s terror. After some thought, he gathered that even without the presence of the ancient spirit lock formation, he might not be a match for that lunatic either.

However, Shangguan Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

No matter what, that green robed cultivator was finally going to die.

With Pang Yue around, the rest of them were in no danger of losing their lives. But, if the green robed cultivator was the one who survived, the only option left for them was to escape.

A cruel glint flashed in the Zenith Sect heir’s eyes as he looked on coldly.

When the Illusion Fiend Cult heir saw what was happening, he was delighted and yelled, “Lunatic Pang, killing this person outright will be too easy on him! You’d better rip him into pieces! That’d be satisfying!”

Ji Yaoyan furrowed her brows as worry flashed across her eyes.

She was the clearest about Pang Yue’s methods and abilities. Through the history of fiend sect heirs, his strength was ranked right at the top. Otherwise, he would not be called a lunatic!

Seeing Pang Yue walk over, Su Zimo suddenly realized something.

Even though what Pang Yue said was true, the fact that he chose to say it at this moment was a form of mental warfare.

If Su Zimo felt that he was inferior to Pang Yue, his aura would definitely weaken and he would lose the initiative.

After realizing this, Su Zimo had been searching for a way to break out of that situation.

“Haha!”

Pang Yue did not intend to give Su Zimo any chance to begin with. When he approached Su Zimo, he raised his pitch black spear and smashed it down like a steel whip, causing the wind to howl in a breathtaking manner!

Su Zimo did not even think about it and sidestepped to dodge immediately.

The power of that spear was too powerful!

If he wanted to defend it head on, he would only end up severely injured and might even die on the spot!

“Can you avoid it?”

Pang Yue’s spear missed and smashed on the ground with a loud bang, causing the earth to crack.

Amidst the billowing smoke, a thick black spear stabbed out. It was extremely stable, as if it could even pierce through the heavens!

Su Zimo’s eyes lit up. He took a half sidestep and forcefully twisted his stance with the Plow Heaven Stride, dodging the sharp tip of the spear while using his Cold Moon Saber to strike at the weakest part of the spear!

Su Zimo could not help but praise himself internally for that slash.

Regardless of angle, timing, strength or the combination with Plow Heaven Stride, the move was perfect.

In fact, Su Zimo thought of what to do with this move later on.

After colliding with the spear, the Cold Moon Saber slanted sideways and sliced down the body of the spear, forcing Pang Yue to let go!

That way, Su Zimo would seize the initiative and gain the advantage with a weapon!

“Clang!”

The sound of metal clashing echoed out.

It was as Su Zimo had imagined and the Cold Moon Saber collided heavily against the body of the spear. However, his expression changed the next moment as he realized something was amiss.

Su Zimo felt an extremely domineering shock wave on the body of the spear!

The moment the Cold Moon Saber made contact with it, the shock was transmitted to him through the saber!

It was a trap!

It was the same way Su Zimo had dealt with the thousand-faced assassin earlier on – this was a deliberate opening set up by Pang Yue!

“Buzz!”

The spear quivered and the Cold Moon Saber was sent flying. With his palm torn and fresh blood dripping, Su Zimo’s trump card he had designed earlier was now useless.

“Haha!”

Pang Yue burst out into laughter. Exerting strength into his arms, he swept the spear horizontally right at Su Zimo’s head.

After the Cold Moon Saber left his hands, Su Zimo was extremely swift and squatted.

The pitch black spear swept into air. However, it suddenly changed its momentum and stopped right above Su Zimo’s head before slamming down!

Pushing his feet, Su Zimo rolled to the side and barely avoided the fatal blow. He was covered with quite a bit of mud and looked rather pathetic.

The both of them had only exchanged a couple of moves. However, Su Zimo had escaped death several times. If he was any bit slower, he would have died on the spot!

The difference in strength between the both sides was obvious.

In the eyes of everyone, Su Zimo had no chance against Pang Yue with his black spear now that even his weapon was gone.

“I’ve told you, you’re very strong, but you’re no match for me. Please resign to your fate,” Pang Yue’s voice sounded as though he was stating an unquestionable fact.

Raising his brow, an idea flashed into Su Zimo’s mind – he had finally realized the flaw in Pang Yue’s earlier statement!

“My strength is indeed inferior to yours. However, strength is not the only factor in melee combat,” Su Zimo composed himself and replied indifferently.

In that instant, a strange change happened between their auras.

Pang Yue’s aura was still extremely strong. However, Su Zimo’s aura suddenly became unpredictable.

If one were to compare Pang Yue to a towering, mighty mountain, Su Zimo would be akin to a bottomless ocean!

It was hard to tell who was stronger between the two!

No one could tell if the mountain would overturn the ocean or if the ocean would sink the mountain.

“I’m really curious. Now that even your weapon is gone, what are you going to fight me with? Hmms,” Sensing the abnormality in Su Zimo, Pang Yue continued with his mental warfare.

“Not only are weapons useless in the hands of some people, they may even be a burden.”

Su Zimo let out a long sigh and actually took the initiative to walk towards Pang Yue calmly.

Splash! Splash!

Bang! Boom! Boom!

“Huff... hmm...”

A strange noise rang in Su Zimo’s body – that was the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound.

Su Zimo’s aura was climbing steadily!

If anyone were to close their eyes, they would definitely be met with a shocking scene in their minds.

It was an ancient demon that stood tall and mighty. With bloodshot eyes, it strode through the torrential ocean and its body shimmered with lightning – it was an unyielding sight!Chapter 177: Melee Combat Suppression

As Su Zimo approached with an intensifying aura, Pang Yue could wait no longer. The pitch black spear in his hands danced as he strode forth and dived towards Su Zimo.

A simple spear with incomparable strength shot out.

Su Zimo’s expression was unchanged. He sidestepped and dodged it.

No matter what, he was still not Pang Yue’s match in terms of raw power.

Furthermore, Su Zimo had already lost his weapon. Now that he was barehanded, all the more he couldn’t fight Pang Yue head on.

The pitch black spear danced in Pang Yue’s hands like a gigantic black dragon. Everywhere it passed, it burst with a suppressive force that could destroy everything!

Su Zimo kept retreating and the space he could dodge decreased by the second – he was completely restricted by Pang Yue.

Everyone could tell that if this was to continue, Su Zimo would undoubtedly lose before long!

But, the strange thing was that, none of them could see any bit of fear in Su Zimo’s calm face.

Dong!

A dull sound rang from the blood pool once more.

Everyone’s expressions changed as their hearts skipped a beat.

Right after, the blood pool started to swirl slowly as though it was being attracted by a force.

Before long, a gigantic vortex appeared in the middle of the blood pool, growing deeper by the moment.

All the fiend sect cultivators were stunned – they had all realized that the inheritance was about to be born!

In the fiend sects, anyone who obtained the item in the blood pool would be completely reborn.

If an ordinary fiend sect cultivator obtained it, he could replace a fiend heir entirely.

If a fiend heir obtained it, he could very well become the strongest fiend heir of the seven fiend sects!

Who wouldn’t mind having a treasure like that?

Even Pang Yue seemed to be slightly dazed as his hand moved slower.

Right then, Su Zimo’s eyes lit up. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the pitch black spear with a flash of lightning in his palms – a coil and a tremble!

“Oh?”

Pang Yue’s reaction was extremely fast. The moment he realized something was amiss, he channeled his blood towards his arms and steadied the pitch black spear with all his might!

That was an absolute suppression through strength!

But then, Pang Yue’s expression changed.

The lightning in Su Zimo’s palms extended rapidly on the pitch black spear into Pang Yue’s body.

As though he was struck by lightning, Pang Yue’s body shuddered and he nearly let go of the pitch black spear as pain surged through his arm as though it was pricked by needles.

Swoosh!

Immediately, Pang Yue channeled his bloodline to purge away the wanton power of thunder that had entered his body. Steadying himself, he took a deep breath of air and wanted to retaliate.

Su Zimo had already seized that opportunity to appear in front of Pang Yue.

His knees were slightly bent in a seemingly kneeled position. With a smile, he pushed his hands towards Pang Yue’s mouth, looking as if he was holding up an immortal fruit.

For some reason, Pang Yue felt his scalp tingle and a chill run down his spine when he saw that pose.

Sanguine Ape Fruit Offering... that was a powerful killing move of The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness!

Pang Yue retreated. He wanted to retract his pitch black spear and block it in front of Su Zimo.

However, the latter followed him like a maggot, ensuring that the distance between them was never more than one arm!

This was a particular distance.

Even though the might of Pang Yue’s pitch black spear was frightening, it became a burden under such a distance.

Grabbing his spear with one arm, Pang Yue tried to force down Su Zimo’s palms with his other arm.

A cold glint flashed in Su Zimo’s eyes as he changed strategy at the last moment. Gripping Pang Yue’s wrist with both hands, he tore it towards both sides while releasing his Power of Blood!

At the same time, Su Zimo stomped his knee forward like a galloping horse.

This was another killing move – Divine Steed Dismemberment!

Bang!

Su Zimo’s knee landed squarely on Pang Yue’s chest, giving off a dull sound of defeat.

Pang Yue’s body shuddered as he staggered backwards; his face flushed red for a brief moment.

Su Zimo was secretly shocked.

If it was anyone else who was struck by the Divine Steed Dismemberment, their arms would have been ripped apart even if their chest wasn’t crushed.

But now, Pang Yue was merely forced back a couple of steps after receiving that killing move. Instead of losing his combat power, his feral instincts were triggered!

How terrifyingly strong was this person’s physique?

What Su Zimo did not know was that at the moment, the mental shock for Pang Yue was greater.

He had thought that Su Zimo’s strength would not be a threat to him.

However, that move earlier on gave his arms a tearing pain! The bones in his chest felt like they were cracking, his heart stopped for a moment and even his organs were shaking!

Killing intent surged fervently in Pang Yue’s eyes as his fighting spirit rumbled. With a wrathful roar, he tossed away his pitch black spear and lunged at Su Zimo with his bare hands!

At that sight, Su Zimo praised internally.

For Pang Yue, the only way of breaking away from that situation was to cast away the weapon in his hands.

Not everybody would be able to react in the midst of such an intense battle and come to that realization. Even then, they may not have the guts to discard their weapons.

However, since he had the advantage, Su Zimo would naturally not let Pang Yue make a comeback.

While he did not know of any saber techniques, there were way too many melee killing moves in The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness.

Pang Yue clenched his fists, charging at Su Zimo’s head from the side like two mountains.

Su Zimo did not dodge nor avoid it. Stepping forth, he unleashed the stance of the Plow Heaven Stride and retracted both arms to his sides. With a sudden slant, he thrust and pushed forward!

Bovine’s Moon-gazing!

This move not only allowed him to dodge Pang Yue’s killing move, it even allowed him to retaliate!

“Good move!”

The corners of Pang Yue’s eyes twitched as he changed strategy at the last moment. He pulled his arms in front of him to defend against Su Zimo’s punch while sweeping with his legs horizontally.

Su Zimo followed suit and changed strategy as well. Suddenly, he bent down and was almost sprawled on the ground. Using all his limbs, he slithered in front of Pang Yue like a gigantic python.

After Anaconda Swath came the big killing move... Anaconda Strangle!

Su Zimo’s body elongated as though he was weak and boneless. He coiled around Pang Yue’s legs and channeled his blood, bursting off with an exuberant Power of Blood!

Whoosh!

Su Zimo’s muscles expanded rapidly and he grew in size, bent on crushing Pang Yue into meat pulp!

“Ah!”

Pang Yue realized the danger as well. Roaring, he churned his blood to fight head on.

Both sides exerted power.

After a slight pause, Su Zimo realized that he would not be able to do anything to Pang Yue if this carried on.

This person’s physique was way too strong!

With a swift motion, he slid down from Pang Yue’s body.

Pang Yue was not in the best state either, panting slightly with a blushed face. Right then, his vision blurred – Su Zimo was actually rushing at him again!

“Boom!”

A deafening explosion of air could be heard.

Pang Yue raised his head to see Su Zimo’s fist pummeling down from the skies, looking like a supreme seal that could suppress the ancient times. Its aura was magnificent and terrifying!

Taking a deep breath of air, Pang Yue raised his arms and defended against it!

Bang!

The fist and arm collided, giving off a sound that could chatter one’s teeth.

Pang Yue’s feet sank into the ground, making him seem shorter than Su Zimo.

The melee combat fight was way too intense and dangerous. With rapid changes in their moves, both of them fought with lightning speed such that everyone felt their hearts palpitating just by watching.

Suppression!

Lunatic Pang who was deemed as the number one fiend heir in melee combat was actually being suppressed by an unknown green robed cultivator!Chapter 178: Skeleton in the Stone Coffin

After the Sanguine Ape Fist Seal, Su Zimo did not pause at all and thrust forward coiled like a ball with his legs slightly bent.

Arriving in front of Pang Yue, Su Zimo’s body suddenly bounced off and he struck up with both arms, hitting Pang Yue heavily on the chin.

Bang!

Pang Yue’s head was reared as blood gushed into his eyes. With loosened teeth, he staggered backwards.

Back in the Cang Lang Mountain Range, Su Zimo crushed a cultivator’s jaws and neck with this Sanguine Ape Fruit Offering.

But now, Pang Yue merely lost a couple of teeth.

Su Zimo leaned in and smashed against Pang Yue’s strength with his entire body’s might. The latter grunted and his muscular body was sent flying.

This did not cause Su Zimo to stop. With a flash of his body, he grabbed Pang Yue by the ankles and exerted strength in his arms! Exhaling deeply, Su Zimo lifted Pang Yue’s entire body and smashed it heavily into the ground!

Boom!

A huge human sized crater formed on the ground as dust spread everywhere.

Many of the fiend sect cultivators were dumbfounded as their mouths twitched uncontrollably.

This was an outcome none of them had expected.

Everyone could tell that Pang Yue’s strength was far superior compared to Su Zimo. However, a single mistake caused him to lose the initiative and Su Zimo continued the combo till this eventual defeat!

Even though it was a short exchange of blows, both parties displayed extremely powerful melee combat techniques.

Dong!

Yet another dull sound rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. Gradually, their pupils constricted as their expressions froze.

In the blood pool not far away, an ancient coffin laid quietly at the bottom and was faintly discernible from the vortex. Placed in the middle, it looked as though it was one with the pool.

There were many mysterious and esoteric runic patterns etched on the surface of the stone coffin. However, due to the constant flow of blood, most of it was indiscernible and it had a dim glow.

There were also huge chains wrapped around the surface of the stone coffin. They were all covered in rust and seemed as though they had been there for a long time.

The dull sounds from before came from this stone coffin!

All of a sudden!

Another sound came from the blood pool.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The chains on the stone coffin began to crack and shattered under the watchful eyes of everyone!

With a loud boom, the lid of the coffin was lifted by a tremendous force.

The dull sound in the stone coffin became even clearer!

Dong! Dong! Dong!

It was as though someone was striking the drums of the heavens in a deep and powerful manner.

Everyone focused and gasped.

A figure was lying in the stone coffin.

To be precise, it was a skeleton.

However, there was a grisly red heart in the chest of the skeleton and it was beating with great vigor!

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The dull sounds were actually the beating of the heart!

Many of the fiend sect cultivators were so terrified that they even forgot to breathe.

Su Zimo realized this was unexpected. At the very least, the skeleton before him was definitely not within the calculations of the many fiend sect cultivators present!

He did not have time to bother about Pang Yue who was lying in the huge pit. In a flash, he appeared beside Demoness Ji and whispered, “Hurry up and leave. Something is not right!”

Demoness Ji’s face was pale as a sheet at the moment. A look of fear flickered in her eyes as she murmured, “It’s probably too late.’

Su Zimo sensed something and followed Demoness Ji’s gaze towards the blood pool once more.

In just that short while, the blood in the pool was drained by more than half after gushing into the stone coffin!

As for the skeleton in the stone coffin, its body already had a layer of flesh and blood. Although it was thin and translucent, it was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Su Zimo narrowed his gaze as countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Reincarnation?

Or... was the skeleton not dead to begin with?

Who was he?

At this moment, Su Zimo suddenly realized that he could not move his feet, as if he was being restrained by an invisible force.

Sweeping his gaze, he realized that it was the same for the many fiend sect cultivators present – they were all rooted to the spot.

Suddenly, the skeleton in the stone coffin sat up. The black holes where its eyes were shone with a sinister red gleam as it opened its mouth and produced a series of tones, “Since... you are... here... don’t... leave anymore...!”

Because it had no tongue, the skeleton’s pronunciation was unclear. However, everyone could vaguely make out what it was saying.

Without any warning, the group of cultivators closest to the blood pool flew through the air towards the stone coffin in the blood pool simultaneously as though they were pulled by something. Their eyes were filled with fright.

Those people struggled furiously in midair, wanting to get away from the stone coffin, but to no avail.

Some of them had despair in their eyes as they roared and raised their weapons, stabbing at the skeleton in the stone coffin.

The long swords that stabbed the skeleton broke on the spot!

Many fiend sect cultivators were brought to the vicinity of the skeleton. It opened its mouth and sucked, causing the flesh and blood of a cultivator opposite to gush into its mouth like liquid.

In the blink of an eye, a group of fiend sect cultivators perished without a single survivor!

The empty, white skeletons that remained fell from midair and scattered beside the stone coffin.

After absorbing the fresh blood, the flesh on the skeleton became more abundant. Although it was far from the level of a normal person, its face could already be vaguely made out.

Standing up from the stone coffin, the skeleton walked out and surveyed the surroundings with a pair of bloody red holes.

It seemed to be able to see everything around it!

The skeleton took another breath and the flesh on its face squirmed, as if it was in enjoyment.

“Such fresh... blood... click... click clack...!”

At some point in time, Pang Yue had crawled up from the ground. Coughing blood, it was obvious that Su Zimo had slammed him hard.

Pang Yue cursed, “Fu*k! I thought that this was an inheritance ground. Turns out there’s an old demon buried here!”

Swoosh!

The skeleton waved.

Another group of cultivators flew towards it. Even though the bodies were theirs, they could not control it at all – it was an unstoppable power!

Before long, that group of cultivators perished once again, leaving behind a pile of bones as their flesh were all absorbed by the skeleton.

Dong dong! Dong dong dong!

The beating of the skeleton’s heart grew louder and stronger.

“What should we do?”

Demoness Ji’s petite body trembled as she asked softly.

She naturally knew that given the situation before them, only fate could decide their lives. Both she and Su Zimo were powerless to resist.

However, she merely wanted to talk to someone out of the fear in her heart.

Su Zimo was expressionless as he glared at the skeleton coldly.

They stood no chance at all.

The skeleton was indeed extremely strong. So strong that it was hard to imagine.

However, it had clearly been trapped in the stone coffin for a long time and had just escaped. Although it was recovering its strength, now was also its weakest moment!

As long as he could find its weakness, they might be able to obtain a sliver of life!

At this moment, the skeleton waved again.

About ten cultivators flew towards the skeleton.

Su Zimo and Demoness Ji were among the group!

Chapter 179: Thunderclap Kill

Su Zimo and Demoness Ji flew towards the skeleton, drawn by some invisible force.

In the short process, Su Zimo could feel his bloodline stir as though it was about to be extracted!

The other fiend sect cultivators did not give up. Some struggled and begged, some screamed hysterically while others raised their weapons and slashed wildly at the skeleton.

However, the skeleton was intact and there were no wounds at all!

As long as it opened its mouth and sucked, the flesh of the cultivator on the other end would turn into a pool of blood and flow into its mouth.

That nourished the flesh on the skeleton and the beating of its heart grew stronger.

Before long, it was Su Zimo and Demoness Ji’s turn. The skeleton turned around and faced the both of them. The hole in its eyes shone with a bloodthirsty red glow and it was filled with excitement.

Demoness Ji’s face was ashen and her eyes were filled with despair.

Psst! Psst! Psst!

Right then, Su Zimo suddenly took a deep breath, causing a huge current of air to gush into his lungs fanatically. It was akin to an anaconda devouring the sun and moon, trying to turn into a dragon and soar through the heavens!

The air flow was extremely fast and violent. When it cut his throat, traces of blood even seeped out with a salty smell.

Su Zimo’s chest bulged in a shocking manner, as if he had swallowed a huge balloon.

“Kill!”

Su Zimo was one step ahead. Opening his mouth suddenly, he roared and released the air flow as blood boiled in his body.

“Boom!”

The roar erupted in the air like thunder.

fiend sect cultivators who were slightly further away from Su Zimo frowned, feeling a sharp pain in their ears as they spaced out briefly.

Thunderclap Kill!

It was an extremely strong thunder art in the Void Thunder Manual. Converting sound into energy in an instant, it could produce a powerful impact.

However, it was impossible to learn this thunder art since someone had torn away the back half of the Void Thunder Manual.

Yet, Su Zimo had gained some inspiration through his past experiences and had his own insights. Coupled with Anaconda Eclipse of The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness, he created a sound spirit technique that possessed quite a formidable power as well.

That was the Thunderclap Kill that Su Zimo had just executed.

Of course, this was not a complete thunder art – it was merely something that Su Zimo had deduced.

Each time it was released, Su Zimo’s lungs would suffer immense pressure and possibly even injuries.

Unless it was a last resort, Su Zimo would not use Thunderclap Kill easily.

If Su Zimo had managed to gain greater mastery of the Marrow Cleansing section and used Organs Refinement to strengthen his lungs, he would naturally be able to withstand the outburst of Thunderclap Kill.

Now that Su Zimo had used this technique, it was naturally because he was prepared to risk his life!

The power of thunder was the strongest of the Yang elements and could purge evil.

It was the same for Thunderclap Kill.

When the skeleton heard that roar, its body trembled and the flesh that coagulated actually showed signs of falling off!

Right on the heels of that, Su Zimo’s eyes shone with a vicious glint. He thrust his right hand using his palm as a knife and stabbed it into the skeleton’s chest!

Poof!

Flashes of blood appeared.

Just as Su Zimo’s hand stabbed into the skeleton’s chest, it was stuck.

Immediately after, the flesh on Su Zimo’s palm began to fall off, gushing into the skeleton’s body as liquid blood.

“Click, clack!”

The skeleton opened its mouth, seemingly mocking Su Zimo for overestimating his abilities.

In the blink of an eye, the flesh on Su Zimo’s palm had dissipated, revealing a blood bone palm.

Suddenly, the skeleton trembled.

An extremely terrifying aura emanated from the blood bone palm, spreading across its chest in a shuddering manner.

A thin layer of fire that emitted a searing and horrifying heat burned on the surface of the blood bone palm, as if it could incinerate all living beings. It melted the flesh on the skeleton’s chest instantly.

Su Zimo clenched his teeth and thrust.

Instantly, the blood bone palm extended into the skeleton’s chest, spreading its fingers and gripping its beating heart!

At that moment, Su Zimo and the skeleton trembled at the same time and stopped moving instantaneously.

The entire world seemed to have frozen over.

“Pfft!”

Su Zimo squeezed his palm and the heart exploded.

“Clack, clack...!”

Opening its mouth, the skeleton let out a strange howl from the depths of its throat.

Suddenly, a tremendous force exploded in front of the skeleton’s chest, repelling Su Zimo instantly.

Scarlet light emanated the place filled with the stench of blood!

Large patches of blood mist splattered on Su Zimo’s and seeped into his pores.

In the blink of an eye, he was covered in blood and his body swelled in a terrifying manner, as though he was a fiendcelestial who had just emerged from hell!

“Ah!”

An extremely powerful bloodline surged into his body. Feeling as though his body was about to explode, Su Zimo could not help but roar into the skies!

The moment he opened his mouth, rich and pure sanguine light spewed out, emitting a powerful and domineering fluctuation of his bloodline.

Upon seeing this, the eyes of the remaining fiend sect cultivators burned.

No one knew what exactly happened to the skeleton or how Su Zimo had managed to pierce its chest and deal serious damage.

However, everyone could tell that more than half of the skeleton’s blood essence had surged into Su Zimo’s body.

It was a huge opportunity!

With such pure bloodline essence, anyone present would be able to reach the tsunami blood realm!

As for Su Zimo who had already achieved tsunami blood, what level would he reach with this opportunity?

What sort of changes would happen to his bloodline?

Immediately following that, the expressions of the fiend sect cultivators changed again – something was not right.

At the moment, Su Zimo’s body was filled with a thick bloodline such that it was about to explode. Streaks of blood appeared on his skin in a horrifying manner.

A look of pity flashed in Pang Yue’s eyes.

This was indeed a huge opportunity.

It was so huge that no one’s body could withstand it!

From his point of view, Su Zimo’s fate was decided – he would explode due to the rich bloodline, leaving no corpse in his wake!

“Ah!”

The skeleton let out a low growl and the holes in its eyes emitted a cold light. It opened its mouth and spat out a string of words, “I’ll... have you guys... die... with me!”

Bang! Boom! Boom!

The ground trembled violently as cracks began to appear, spreading out in all directions rapidly. The walls around them collapsed as countless boulders fell and covered the skies.

The fiend sect cultivators were terrified as they fled in all directions.

Due to their spirit energies being locked, they would definitely die if they were buried by the boulders – none of them would have the strength to withstand the impact!

Demoness Ji wanted to escape but when she caught sight of Su Zimo’s miserable appearance, she hesitated slightly.

No matter what, she was the one who brought him here.

He was an innocent victim to this calamity.

Furthermore, Su Zimo had indeed kept to his promise and ensured her safety for the entire journey.

In that instant, if Su Zimo had not counterattacked, she might have ended up as food for the skeleton just like the other fiend sect cultivators.

With that moment of hesitation, Demoness Ji lost her final chance to escape.

Chapter 180: Escaping Alive

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As though the end of the world had arrived, the sky collapsed.

The surrounding boulders crashed down and blocked all passageways.

At the moment, Su Zimo’s body swelled and trembled. He panted heavily as the powerful bloodline essence crashed wantonly within his body.

Su Zimo’s body was on the verge of falling apart – the unbearable pain was causing his consciousness to go fuzzy.

Opposite him, the skeleton looked terrible as well.

A huge bloody hole appeared in its chest. The original place of his heart was now empty, leaving only some pieces of flesh.

There was originally a layer of flesh on the skeleton – it was close to recovering to human form.

Now that the heart was ruptured, the flesh was disintegrating as well. Before long, it fell off the skeleton and slid to the ground.

Soon, it turned back to a white skeleton with an aura that was even weaker than before.

The skeleton gazed at Su Zimo’s blood bone palm. The bloody light in the hole in its eyes flickered before dimming gradually.

The last trace of its life was also dissipating slowly.

“You... die too!”

The skeleton looked at Su Zimo and suddenly opened its mouth.

Right after, it raised its hand and stabbed at Su Zimo’s chest with fingers as sharp as daggers!

If the attack struck, there was no need to wait to be buried by countless boulders. A Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s heart would definitely be pierced to certain death.

Upon seeing that, Demoness Ji’s expression changed but she did not stop him.

No matter what, they were not getting out of this place – there was no difference between dying a moment earlier or later.

Even though Su Zimo’s consciousness was fuzzy, his spirit perception was still there.

He felt a strong sense of danger!

Instinctively, he dodged to the side.

Su Zimo did not have time to react – it was purely out of instinct.

Poof!

The palm of the skeleton pierced through Su Zimo’s chest like a sharp knife, emerging from his back filled with blood.

That palm was aimed at crushing Su Zimo’s heart.

However, due to that dodge, it pierced through the middle of Su Zimo’s chest, brushing by his heart!

That burst attack seemed to have exhausted the skeleton’s last strength.

Feeling the sharp pain in his chest, Su Zimo punched out casually and sent the skeleton flying, causing it to fall into the rubble.

The skeleton remained motionless, as if it was already dead. The hole in its face was pitch black.

In the blink of an eye, a layer of dust and gravel covered the skeleton.

Shing!

A gush of blood shot out from Su Zimo’s chest and splattered all over the ground. It emitted a crystalline luster and the bloodline was rich and shimmering.

Su Zimo’s figure shrank by quite a bit. Although he had not recovered to his original state, the bloodstains on his body were gradually fading and he was recovering slowly!

“Oh?”

That change caught Demoness Ji’s attention.

In truth, Su Zimo was at his most arduous period earlier on – the bloodline was too strong and his body could not withstand it.

It was equivalent to a powerful force that surged rampantly in his body and could not be vented.

The reason why Su Zimo’s body swelled was because the pressure within was too great; that was also why his skin cracked with streaks of blood appearing.

If he could not digest the power of that rich bloodline, a single fate awaited Su Zimo – death through explosion.

However, the skeleton’s final attack had inadvertently saved Su Zimo’s life!

Its intention was naturally to kill Su Zimo.

Unexpectedly, Su Zimo managed to dodge the fatal strike to his heart using his spirit perception.

Even though the injury was serious and the wound on his chest was horrifying with blood gushing out, it was an outlet for the power of the bloodline within to gush out! Because of that, it helped him avert the crisis!

Of course, Su Zimo still retained most of the bloodline’s essence within his body.

However, that bloodline essence was no longer a threat to his life.

It was a blessing in disguise!

There were too many things that happened that night. If there was any slight deviation in the series of events, not only would Su Zimo fail to obtain the opportunity before him, he would even be met with a huge calamity.

It was the same for the current situation – Su Zimo and Demoness Ji were not out of danger yet.

Bang! Boom! Boom!

The surrounding mountains collapsed and a huge shadow crushed – they would be buried before long!

The passageways out were already blocked. Notwithstanding the fact that Su Zimo was severely injured in the chest and was dazed and weak, even if he was in his best state, he might not have been able to escape.

“I’m sorry.”

A rare trace of worry and kindness could be seen in Demoness Ji’s eyes as she pretended to be relaxed and smiled at Su Zimo.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The ground beneath shook as cracks appeared and extended.

Su Zimo’s legs gave way and he almost fell into one of the cracks.

Shrugging his head, he tried his best to stay awake. He looked down at the pitch black and bottomless crack, not knowing what was beneath.

If he was not careful and fell in, he would probably be crushed into meat pulp.

All of a sudden!

Su Zimo’s ears twitched. He could vaguely hear the sound of running water from the depths of the crack.

After cultivating The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness, Su Zimo’s hearing and vision was far superior to normal people – he was almost at the point where he could listen to the world!

Swish!

The mountain peak above their heads fell alongside countless boulders, bringing with it dust that blocked their vision in a terrifying manner.

Demoness Ji had a look of despair as she closed her eyes and sighed gently.

Right then, she felt someone yank her wrist!

Caught off guard, her knees buckled and she was led over. Subconsciously, she opened her eyes and looked.

Su Zimo’s face was frighteningly pale. Clutching the wound on his chest with one hand, he used his other hand to grab her as they stumbled to the stone coffin not far away.

“Quickly, go in!”

Arriving at the stone coffin, Su Zimo led Demoness Ji in front of him and with a shout, pushed her.

She was stunned for a moment and fell into the stone coffin without resistance.

Su Zimo leaped in right after, grabbing the lid of the coffin from the side and yanking it.

With a slam, the lid closed above them tightly.

The last bit of light disappeared.

It was pitch black inside the stone coffin!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Almost at the same time as the lid was shut, the sound of countless boulders smashing onto the coffin rang – it was heavy and deafening!

There was not much room in the stone coffin because it was designed for a single person.

Now that the both of them were inside, together with the fact that Su Zimo’s body was slightly swollen after absorbing the bloodline essence, it seemed extremely squeezy.

A strange feeling arose in Demoness Ji’s heart but she did not say anything.

If it was anyone else or even Su Zimo before they arrived at this place, she might have killed him on the spot.

But now, Demoness Ji did not move and inch. She blinked her eyes in deep thought.

If Su Zimo was even slower for a moment earlier, they would have been crushed to death by the boulders outside!

Despite that, Su Zimo chose to let her enter first and bear the danger himself.

At that thought, a gentle glint flashed across Demoness Ji’s eyes as she pursed her red lips.
