Eternal Sacred King Chapter 214 to 220

 Chapter 214: Change of Weather

Throughout history, there had been countless cultivators who had formed a core. However, none of them achieved a Golden Core phenomenon!

As everyone had different learnings and experiences, their understanding of core formation as well as number of meridians unlocked were different as well...

The many different factors would form various Golden Core phenomenons.

The power formed by the Golden Core phenomenons were different as well. Some phenomenons were so mighty that they could shake the world and form tsunamis upon release.

However, some other phenomenons were relatively weaker.

As the saying goes, a phenomenon is bound to occur when eight meridians are unlocked!

However, unlocking eight meridians was as difficult as ascending the skies itself. Thousands of years ago, including the Founder Master of Ethereal Peak, there had only been a single person who had unlocked all eight meridians.

That was none other than the owner of the Mystic Gold Silk Armor – the terrifying expert who left the Void Thunder Manual behind.

“Come, let’s go greet them. It’s not easy to see these three senior brothers.”

Little fatty brought Su Zimo over and cupped his fists, smiling. “Greetings, senior brothers.”

Qin Yu and the other two swept their gazes past little fatty swiftly. Pausing at Su Zimo for a brief moment, they turned to the side with a cold expression.

Little fatty laughed embarrassedly.

When he saw how the trio reacted, Su Zimo dispelled the thought of greeting them as well.

Some of the other perfected, one and two meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators looked at Su Zimo and the others with unfriendly gazes as well.

“Heh, you can’t blame them.”

Little fatty explained, “The spirit energy in the spirit pool is limited. An additional person means that the cultivation speed of the others will drop as well. We were initially not meant to be part of this Dongling Valley trip. Now, it’s as good as us stealing their cultivation resources.”

Suddenly, Su Zimo was enlightened.

Leng Rou shook her head. “The spirit pool belongs to the sect and it’s not theirs. Furthermore, we’re also disciples of the sect.”

“Even though that’s the case, that might not be what they think,” Little fatty said with a bitter smile.

Before long, a purple robed and haughty looking man arrived on his flying sword with a number of sect disciples accompanying him.

Feng Haoyu!

It had to be said that Feng Haoyu’s cultivation speed was fast indeed. He had already reached perfected Foundation Establishment by now.

Feng Haoyu looked around and actually walked over when he caught sight of Su Zimo.

“Long time no see, Junior Brother Su.”

He arrived before Su Zimo and said with a fake smile.

This was the first time they were meeting after his defeat to Su Zimo at Spirit Peak’s arena.

Su Zimo looked at Feng Haoyu with a calm silence.

There was something odd about this.

Feng Haoyu had stopped him twice in private previously. Both times, Su Zimo was alerted by his spirit perception towards Feng Haoyu’s killing intents!

Yet, Feng Haoyu was now greeting him as though nothing was wrong?

Given this person’s vengeful nature, would he lower his status and do such a thing?

There must be something going on when things occur out of the ordinary!

Feng Haoyu smiled and asked, “What’s wrong, Junior Brother Su? You’re not even interested in talking to me?”

This time, Feng Haoyu was truly smiling as though something was making him extremely happy.

Was it because he was entering Dongling Valley to cultivate?

Probably not.

Right then, three figures appeared at the same time from not far away. The person in the middle was Wen Xuan, Spirit Peak’s master. He was wearing white robes and traveled through the skies elegantly.

The other two were Golden Cores as well, elders of the sect.

Wen Xuan swept his gaze across the disciples below and nodded his head before waving his sleeves.

A spirit vessel appeared and expanded with the wind in the blink of an eye. It had enough space to accommodate hundreds of people!

“Come on up.”

Wen Xuan and the two elders boarded the spirit vessel first and stood at the bow.

The many disciples flew to the spirit vessel on their flying swords with excited expressions.

Cultivators that could board this spirit vessel were all disciples recognized by the sect – that fact was enough to make others envious.

Turning into a beam of light, the spirit vessel tore through the skies at an extremely fast speed.

Su Zimo, little fatty and Leng Rou stood together and they could feel the wind howl in their ears while the scenery reversed quickly.

Sweeping his gaze across the two sect elders, Su Zimo asked softly, “Which of them is Elder Chen?”

Little fatty pointed at the one on the right. “The one in black robes is Elder Chen and the one on the left is Elder Yu. What’s up, bro?”

“It’s nothing.”

Su Zimo replied, “I merely heard that it’s thanks to Elder Chen’s suggestion that we’re able to take part in this spirit pool cultivation trip.”

“Yes, I heard about that too.”

Little fatty chuckled. “Elder Chen sure is a nice person.”

Su Zimo smiled and did not reply.

After a while, he felt increasingly uneasy. There was a nagging feeling that something was wrong but he could not point it out.

Passing through the crowd, Su Zimo arrived at the bow of the ship and bowed with cupped fists. “Greetings, Peak Master Wen Xuan and elders. I am Su Zimo.”

Wen Xuan lowered his glance slightly and nodded.

The two elders turned back with a questioning look as well.

“Seniors, I am somewhat worried.”

“What?”

Wen Xuan’s tone was cold and he was indifferent.

Due to his relationship with Feng Haoyu, Wen Xuan had always had a prejudice against Su Zimo.

Su Zimo continued, “Almost all the core disciples of Foundation Establishment realm from our sect are present for this Dongling Valley trip. If anything happens, it’ll be a significant blow to our sect! We’ll definitely not be able to compete for the rankings at the sect competition three years later.”

As he spoke, Su Zimo kept an eye out for the three of their expressions.

When he heard that, Elder Yu could not help but laugh.

“Go on back. You don’t have to worry about this.”

Wen Xuan replied coldly, “Do you know what it means for anyone to kill the Foundation Establishment core disciples of our sect? Which sect would have the guts to commit an act as such within the Great Zhou Dynasty’s territory?”

Elder Yu chuckled too. “Even though the spirit pool of Dongling Valley only opens up once in ten years, how could any outsiders know of the exact date?”

Even though Elder Chen remained silent, there were no changes in his emotions and he was still expressionless.

Unable to have any read, Su Zimo frowned and returned to where he was.

Six hours later, a valley ahead could be faintly seen.

“We’re here.”

Arriving above the valley, the spirit vessel descended slowly and many cultivators leaped down.

There were two Golden Cores watching over Dongling Valley. Coupled with Wen Xuan and the two elders, there were now five Golden Cores from Ethereal Peak guarding this place.

In the middle of Dongling Valley was a spirit pool where the water surface shimmered brightly and emitted a rich spirit qi.

Even though they were hundreds of meters away, Su Zimo and the rest could clearly feel it.

“This is truly a blessed place.”

Little fatty let out an intoxicated expression as he took a deep breath and praised.

“Fufu.”

Feng Haoyu laughed and said meaningfully, “Everyone, do enjoy yourselves well.”

Right then, dark clouds appeared outside of Dongling Valley, moving over at an extremely fast speed!

Within the dark clouds were even red specks of light that sparkled sinisterly.

The weather had changed!Chapter 215: Trap

“Oh?”

Wen Xuan’s expression changed as he looked to the direction of the incoming black clouds with a narrowed gaze.

When Su Zimo saw the black clouds, he frowned and felt a sense of déjà vu.

The black clouds were moving at an extremely fast speed and shimmered with sinister red lights. They did not seem like clouds, but rather...

“Spirit mine, blood-eyed crows!”

The so-called black clouds were actually countless crows surging over!

Those red lights were the eyes of the crows!

Su Zimo recalled the battle outside of Linfeng City and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, be careful. They are the people from the spirit mine outside Linfeng City!”

“They’re from the fiend sects? Are they here for revenge?”

Wen Xuan narrowed his eyes and killing intent exuded from him.

To everyone from Ethereal Peak, the tragedy that happened at Linfeng City was committed by the fiend sects.

However, Su Zimo knew from Demoness Ji that even the fiend sects did not have such vicious methods and cultivation techniques.

On that point, he believed in Demoness Ji.

Even though she appeared to be frivolous in her actions, she knew her limits and bore with her the pride of the fiend sects.

If it was something done by those of the fiend sects, she would not deny it.

Su Zimo looked at little fatty and Leng Rou, saying in a low voice, “If the situation isn’t right later, quickly escape!”

“What?” Little fatty was shocked.

Leng Rou frowned slightly as well.

Both of them had yet to realize the danger.

To them, the sect had five Golden Cores here along with a group of top Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Such powerful strength was more than enough to wipe out some minor sects, so why would they need to fear the incoming aggressors?

Su Zimo did not say anything, merely looking at Feng Haoyu and Elder Chen before drawing a flying sword from his storage bag.

That was the supreme-grade flying sword created for him by Extreme Fire Dao Lord!

During this period of time, Su Zimo spent most of his efforts researching weapon tempering techniques, understanding the Candlelight Sword Formation and raising his cultivation. He did not have the time to refine any weapons.

This flying sword was the only graded spirit weapon in his storage bag.

Before long, the clouds arrived above Dongling Valley.

Countless blood-eyed crows spiraled above, covering the skies and emitting thick, demonic qi. Their cultivations were not weaker than the Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

The sky darkened immediately.

Many of the Ethereal Peak disciples in the valley looked terrible as fear flashed across their eyes.

After all, a scene as such was way too shocking that it left one shuddering in fear!

The eyes of the crows emitted a blood-red glow as they hissed constantly, glaring at the cultivators below as though they could dive down and rip everyone apart at any moment!

Little fatty’s face turned pale as he gulped and said with a grim expression, “There’s more of these darned creatures compared to back then!”

At the entrance of Dongling Valley, a gigantic spirit vessel sped over and hundreds of cultivators leaped down from it.

Among them, there were more than 10 Golden Cores!

The rest were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators of varying levels. However, their numbers were several times more than the Ethereal Peak disciples!

Coupled with the sea of blood-eyed crows above them...

Be it in terms of Golden Cores or Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Ethereal Peak was definitely disadvantaged.

This was a trap!

There was no way out of this situation!

Of the hundreds of cultivators from the spirit vessel, their leader was a perfected Foundation Establishment Cultivator. He wore a set of red robes with a crow etched on his sleeve. Bearing a pale complexion, he twitched his lips and smiled evilly.

The ten Golden Cores surrounded him, protecting him in the middle.

“Who are you?”

Wen Xuan glared at the blood robed cultivator as he held a talisman in his left hand. A flying sword hovered in front of him and his tone was cold.

“Fufu.”

The blood robed cultivator chuckled and said leisurely, “Fellow Daoists, there’s no need to be nervous. I did not come with any ill intentions. If you guys are willing to cooperate, I’m even going to present a great opportunity for all of you!”

With a slight pause, he changed the topic with an icy tone, “But if you don’t know what’s good for you, ha... don’t blame me for starting a massacre!”

Wen Xuan’s fingers moved as he conjured his spirit, causing spirit energy to swirl around his fingertips – he was ready to strike.

Elder Yu stood up with a grim expression and shook his head, saying deeply, “Don’t be rash. If we end up fighting, our disciples are going to die easily at this place. Let’s check on his background first.”

Raising his voice, Elder Yu asked, “Fellow Daoist, how may I address you?”

“Regarding that, I’m quite a casual person.”

The blood robed cultivator smiled faintly. “You may address me as Young Master or Master. It’s up to you, I won’t force you.”

Elder Yu’s expression turned terrible.

Be it Young Master or Master, it implied that he had to submit to this blood robed cultivator!

Elder Yu was a Golden Core after all and there was no way he would accede to such a ridiculous request.

“Junior, this place is less than fifty kilometers from Ethereal Sect. If I were to send a message using my spirit crane, it won’t be long before our sect sends reinforcements! Don’t get cocky now!” Elder Yu said with a deep voice.

“Hahahaha!”

The blood robed cultivator burst out into laughter. “Old dog, I tried to give you face but you’re trying to throw it away?”

“First, with my blood crow army, your spirit crane is never going to be sent out! Second, even if you manage to send out a spirit crane, you guys are not going to last long enough!”

Wen Xuan harrumphed coldly. “Elder Yu, there’s no need to waste your breath on him. Since they’re from a fiend sect, all of them shall be punished!”

“We’re not from the fiend sects.”

The blood robed cultivator laughed coldly. “I’ll give you one last chance. Submit to me and I’ll spare your lives. Otherwise, all of you shall be killed without mercy! No one will be spared!”

“Oh, right. There’s someone named Su Zimo among you guys. Whether or not you submit to me, I’ll suppress you personally and torture you to death bit by bit... hehehehe!”

The blood robed cultivator let out a series of sinister laughter.

“Submit?”

Wen Xuan smiled as well. “Ask for permission from the sword in my hand first!”

Right then, the blood robed cultivator raised his head suddenly and said calmly, “What are you waiting for?”

Before he could finish his sentence, Su Zimo was alarmed and yelled, “Everyone, disperse! There’s spies in the sect!”

Wen Xuan was the first to react and crushed the protection talisman in his left hand immediately.

A barrier of light instantly rose and enveloped him.

Clang!

There was a crisp sound.

Sparks flew everywhere.

A flying sword struck Wen Xuan’s protective barrier, causing it to tremble and nearly collapse – it was clear how strong that attack was!

It was a mere centimeter gap!

If Wen Xuan had been slightly slower, he would have been a dead man.

In fact, the reason why Wen Xuan was the first to react was because of Su Zimo’s question earlier on the spirit vessel.

At that time, Wen Xuan wasn’t bothered about it.

However, when he saw the arrival of such powerful forces along with a trap as such laid out, Wen Xuan vaguely realized that there might be spies in the sect and became wary.

Otherwise, there was no way their trip to Dongling Valley today could be leaked out.

Of course, the conjecture was a little vague and Wen Xuan did not have time to verify it.

Right at the moment when the blood robed cultivator said that sentence along with Su Zimo’s yell, Wen Xuan crushed his protection talisman without a second thought.

When he sensed the terrifying attack behind him, Wen Xuan understood that he had just walked by the gates of hell and could not help but break out in cold sweat.Chapter 216: Situation

“Elder Chen, you...”

A sect elder at the side looked at Elder Chen who had just struck at Wen Xuan with widened eyes. He asked in confusion before realizing what was going on.

However, the moment he said that, his expression changed and finally understood what had happened.

Someone had betrayed the sect!

That person was Elder Chen before him who was hidden in their midst!

A gust of cold air rushed up from his back as that elder retreated instinctively. Placing his palm on his storage bag, he withdrew a protection talisman.

However, Elder Chen was even faster!

The moment his attack failed to kill Wen Xuan, Elder Chen swapped away his flying sword immediately and conjured a seal with his left hand, producing a resplendent glow.

Swash!

A spirit art and flying sword descended at the same time.

The sect elder’s reaction was slightly slower and his throat was sliced by the sword before he could crush the protection talisman.

There were flashes of blood.

A Golden Core fell from midair, life dissipating from his body as his eyes were filled with indignance and frustration.

“Traitor!”

Wen Xuan hollered as his sleeves swayed in rage.

A tremendous amount of spirit energy was almost materialized, surging over like a tidal wave with a terrifying momentum!

Within that gigantic wave, there was even a sharp light that was hard to detect hidden within.

“Hehe!”

Elder Chen let out a strange laugh. With that successful strike, he turned to escape without hesitation and crushed a protection talisman immediately.

At the same time, Elder Chen conjured spirit with his hands, causing the spirit energy of a late-stage Golden Core to condense together instantly. Waving his hands, a glow burst forth and mist rose.

Bang! Boom! Boom!

The glowing mist clashed with the surging wave, creating a deafening bang.

Wen Xuan’s spirit energy wave was clearly superior to Elder Chen’s glow.

Poof!

There was a crisp sound as though something was broken.

Elder Chen’s expression changed drastically as he exclaimed – a bloody wound had already appeared on his arm.

Unknowingly, the protective barrier around him was penetrated by a superior-grade flying sword that was shimmering with spirit light!

That superior-grade flying sword was hidden in that spirit energy wave. Mysterious and formless, no one noticed when it appeared.

Clang!

Opposite, a black robed middle-aged man harrumphed coldly. He took a half step forward and tapped his finger lightly, causing a flying sword to speed out.

Hovering in midair, four brilliant rays of light burst forth from the sword.

Four spirit patterns, a supreme-grade flying sword!

Colliding against Wen Xuan’s superior-grade flying sword, the supreme-grade flying sword shone with spirit light – it was hard to tell who was superior.

Elder Chen seized the chance to escape.

The entire process seemed very slow upon narration but in fact, it occurred in the split of a moment.

Wen Xuan narrowed his gaze and beckoned gently, sending his superior-grade flying sword back to him.

The black robed Golden Core’s cultivation was similar to his – they were both at perfected Golden Core.

Furthermore, Wen Xuan felt a sense of pressure from that person.

Of the ten odd Golden Cores on the other end, the two black robed cultivators standing beside the blood robed cultivator were the strongest.

Both of their eyes were filled with a faint green light that looked extremely sinister.

One of them was the Golden Core who had just attacked.

The other person emitted a thick demonic qi. From that aura, he should be a spirit demon at Golden Core realm!

Once demons cultivate their Inner Cores, their skin, flesh, tendons, bones, marrow, organs, facial features and five senses will undergo another transformation.

This transformation would rejuvenate the demons and allow them to take on human form, speaking in human tongue.

Those two were the blood slaves of Blood Crow Palace’s lord sent to protect the young master, Yu Fei and Peng Fei.

Barely escaping, Elder Chen arrived beside the blood robed cultivator. He looked at Wen Xuan with a malicious, cold gaze and snarled, “As expected of Spirit Peak’s master. You’re already at Level 3 of Ethereal Sword. Impressive, impressive.”

Ethereal Sword was one of Ethereal Peak’s three major secret skills and there were three levels to it.

Level 1, Shadows.

As the flying sword sped forth, it would leave a series of afterimages in the air. Impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion, it was effective in confusing the enemy.

Back when Feng Haoyu fought with Su Zimo, he had mastered Level 1, Shadows.

Level 2, Void.

Due to the extreme speed of the flying sword, it would be almost merged into the void, turning almost imperceptible and one would be hard-pressed to notice it with their naked eyes.

Level 3, Ethereal.

At this point, it wasn’t just the flying sword’s speed that would have reached its peak, turning void and impossible to detect. By now, the cultivator would have reached a level of sword manipulation mastery such that they could control it as their minds willed with extreme proficiency.

Extremely fast with a void sword that was unpredictable, the attack would be ethereal.

Level 3 was the most difficult to cultivate.

In Ethereal Peak, only Golden Cores who had mastered Level 3 of Ethereal Sword were qualified to be Spirit Peak’s master.

Furthermore, almost every generation of Spirit Peak’s masters were the strongest of the Golden Cores in Ethereal Peak!

Even though he was guarded by the protection talisman, Elder Chen was injured by Wen Xuan’s sword as well.

If Peng Fei had not blocked the second strike, Elder Chen would have died on the spot!

Changing the topic, Elder Chen sneered, “However, all of you will have to die here today! No one will be able to leave!”

“You can try!”

Wen Xuan was not afraid, standing in the air in front of the many Ethereal Peak disciples.

Right then, Wen Xuan, Elder Yu and another sect elder were the only Golden Cores on the side of Ethereal Peak.

On the opposing end, including Elder Chen, there were 11 Golden Cores!

Suddenly, another situation occurred!

Feng Haoyu, who was in the crowd, suddenly attacked!

Three spirit patterns coruscated on his sword – it was a superior-grade flying sword!

It streaked through the crowd, causing blood to spill.

One of the three great legacy disciples, Luo Yi, who was standing not far away from Feng Haoyu did not react in time. Astonishment filled his eyes as his head was lopped up.

Until the moment of his death, he still hadn’t realized what had happened.

That attack was a reaping of lives!

Disciple after another collapsed in a pool of blood, unable to rest in peace.

The many Ethereal Peak disciples were not prepared in the slightest bit.

Even though Su Zimo had warned loudly earlier on, Elder Chen’s betrayal still caused a sect elder to die.

When Wen Xuan took action, the intense clash between two Golden Cores drew everyone’s attention to it.

Su Zimo felt his scalp tingle as he watched on with gritted teeth. A murderous killing intent rose in his heart and his eyes were filled with boundless coldness, causing an extremely terrifying aura to exude from his body!

In reality, Su Zimo had already vaguely guessed that Elder Chen and Feng Haoyu were the spies.

However, that was just his speculation.

Furthermore, Su Zimo did not know whether there were other traitors beside those two.

That was why Su Zimo reminded everyone to disperse because there were spies in the sect.

He never expected that his reminder would still fail to save his fellow sect mates who had died.

Those that died were the ones standing closest to Feng Haoyu.

In other words, they were the followers of Feng Haoyu’s group.

Right now, Feng Haoyu was slashing them down mercilessly without hesitation – his eyes were filled with nothing but coldness and cruelty.

That initially handsome face of Feng Haoyu was now extremely hideous and menacing!

Among them, the one who suffered the greatest blow was Spirit Peak’s master, Wen Xuan.

Feng Haoyu was someone that he had deemed as his personal disciple and imparted his entire life’s learnings to.

Even that superior-grade flying sword in Feng Haoyu’s hands was a gift from Wen Xuan.

Most Foundation Establishment Cultivators would only have nothing more than a middle-grade flying sword.

Even as Spirit Peak’s master, Wen Xuan was only using a superior-grade flying sword as well.

The fact that he gave Feng Haoyu a superior-grade flying sword was proof of how highly he regarded and loved the latter.

And yet...Chapter 217: Clash of Phenomenons

“Haoyu, I haven’t treated you badly and our sect hasn’t let you down either! Why? Give me a reason as to why you betrayed the sect!”

Wen Xuan turned around, quivering as his gaze flashed with rage, shock, confusion... and deep disappointment.

Elder Chen’s betrayal did not crush Wen Xuan.

However, Feng Haoyu’s betrayal was an immense blow to Wen Xuan mentally!

Back when Feng Haoyu was only at Qi Condensation realm, Wen Xuan requested for the sect master to impart Ethereal Sword to Feng Haoyu in advance.

Within the inner sect, other than the three great legacy disciples, Feng Haoyu was the only Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had learned all three major secret skills!

“Betray?”

Feng Haoyu scoffed coldly, “I’m not from Ethereal Peak to begin with. The reason why I joined Ethereal Peak was just to learn the three major secret skills. In other words, I’ve never ever thought of you as my master!”

“Sinful disciple!”

Wen Xuan hollered coldly, “I’ll kill you today!”

“We’ll talk about that if you can survive today, old dog,” Feng Haoyu sneered.

All of a sudden!

The two elders beside Wen Xuan exclaimed, “Watch out!”

Elder Yu and the other sect elder attacked simultaneously to intercept two incoming flying swords.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Right then, Peng Fei, the Golden Core beside the blood robed cultivator, suddenly strode forth. His expression was ice cold and the spirit energy around him started to surge.

A sinister black gust of wild wind appeared around Peng Fei, howling by as sand covered the skies.

When he saw that, Elder Yu’s expression changed starkly.

The other sect elder’s pupils constricted violently and his movements slowed down. His flying sword was swept into the black wind and the sound of countless fine sand striking the sword could be heard.

Cling! Clang!

Crack!

In almost the blink of an eye, the flying sword shattered and its spirit light dimmed, plummeting from the skies.

That superior-grade flying sword could not last more than a breath within that black wind!

When he saw that, Su Zimo was shocked.

Elder Yu’s expression turned terrible as he said slowly, “Golden Core phenomenon... Bone Corroding Black Wind!”

“So, that’s a Golden Core phenomenon.”

Su Zimo was secretly speechless.

Even though he had heard about how terrifying Golden Core phenomenons were, this was the first time he had seen one.

Of Golden Cores, only very few could cultivate a Golden Core phenomenon!

Those that possessed the Golden Core phenomenons could crush any Golden Cores with no phenomenons!

Be it at the Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment or Golden Core realms, the energy source was spirit qi and energy. The methods they used for cultivation and killing were all spirit arts.

A Golden Core phenomenon was the epitome of all spirit arts!

It reigned supreme across all spirit arts!

Therefore, those who had the Golden Core phenomenons beneath Nascent Soul realm were all the strongest Golden Core Perfected Beings.

“Go to hell!”

Peng Fei’s voice was ice cold as he waved his sleeves, causing a huge vortex to form within the black wind. It was like an ancient beast opening its mouth, threatening to devour the Ethereal Peak sect elder within.

Wen Xuan wanted to save him, but it was too late.

Snap!

The protection talisman on the sect elder shattered instantaneously.

“Ah!”

A blood curdling scream could be heard.

Against the black wind, the sect elder’s body began to dissipate. Within a few seconds, there was only a pitch black skeleton with no signs of life left.

“Ah!”

It was yet another shriek.

A Golden Core of Blood Crow Palace was suddenly struck by a shower of rain, causing countless bloodied holes to appear all over his body.

Riddled with holes, that person’s gaze was dim as he fell from the skies – it was clear he wouldn’t be able to survive.

Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!

It was only then that everyone heard the sound of rain falling.

It got heavier, clearer and evidently more hurried!

Where did the rain come from?

Everyone turned towards the sound.

Around Wen Xuan, it was suddenly raining cats and dogs with a heavy downpour.

The raindrops were as long as swords, exuding an extremely intense sharpness!

Golden Core phenomenon, Ethereal Sword Rain!

Against Wen Xuan’s Golden Core phenomenon, the Golden Cores of Blood Crow Palace were defenseless and perished on the spot as well!

The reason why Wen Xuan could maintain his cool despite 10 Golden Cores on the other end alongside Elder Chen’s betrayal was because he was at perfected Golden Core and had even cultivated a Golden Core phenomenon!

Even if there were 10 Golden Cores on the other end, Wen Xuan was confident that he could kill all of them later on!

That was the power of a Golden Core phenomenon!

The moment Peng Fei displayed his Golden Core phenomenon, Wen Xuan realized that the situation wasn’t right.

To be precise, it was extremely serious and was a matter of life and death!

The Golden Core spirit demon, Yu Fei, was calm and cold as he protected the blood robed youth to descend to the ground.

Scoffing coldly, the blood robed youth waved his hand. “Split up the battlefield, Peng Fei. Kill the two remaining Golden Cores in the air as soon as possible and leave the rest of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators to us.”

“Understood!”

Peng Fei, who was in midair, nodded.

On the ground, hundreds of Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Blood Crow Palace wrapped around Yu Fei and the blood robed youth, charging towards the many Ethereal Peak disciples!

“Do not fight! Quickly break out of the encirclement and inform the sect!”

When he saw that, Wen Xuan bellowed and gave the order decisively.

Right now, he and Elder Yu were barely able to fend for themselves – they could not get out and provide support.

What the blood robed youth meant by splitting up the battlefield was for Peng Fei and the other Golden Cores to hold and kill Wen Xuan and Elder Yu in midair.

The other Foundation Establishment Cultivators would then massacre everyone else on the ground.

That way, be it in terms of the fight between the Golden Cores or Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Blood Crow Palace would have complete advantage over the situations.

“Break out of the encirclement?”

The blood robed youth reared his head and roared into laughter. “Stop dreaming. I had no intention of letting you guys leave this place alive today. None of you shall escape!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At that moment, Peng Fei’s Bone Corroding Black Wind collided against Wen Xuan’s Ethereal Sword Rain and created a deafening bang.

The two completely different phenomena powers clashed in midair, causing a terrifying sight.

Both their Golden Core phenomenons were similar in strength and it was difficult to tell who would take the immediate lead.

Apart from Peng Fei, Blood Crow Palace had nine other Golden Cores.

However, there was only Elder Yu beside Wen Xuan.

“Kill!”

Elder Chen hollered and took the initiative, attacking without mercy.

Gritting his teeth, Elder Yu defended with all his might. However, he fell into a disadvantage almost immediately and was in a dire situation. Bombarded by dangers, Elder Yu could die at any moment.

When he saw that, Wen Xuan let out a long roar and frantically channeled his Golden Core, sending spirit energy endlessly into his phenomenon recklessly!

Splash!

Waving his sleeves, Wen Xuan’s endless sword rain enveloped Elder Chen as well.

“You must be courting death!”

Peng Fei harrumphed coldly and the black wind gusted, almost forming a hurricane that connected to the heavens as it sucked in the falling sword rain.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

The two different phenomena powers clashed once more, interlacing with one another and becoming more intense.

Wen Xuan’s face was pale and his body swayed.

At that moment, it was akin to him facing off against 10 Golden Cores alone!

Moreover, one of those Golden Cores had a Golden Core phenomenon!

He could not hold on for long.

Chapter 218: Escape!

On the ground, countless Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Blood Crow Palace swarmed over.

Wen Xuan and Elder Yu were occupied in the air and could not extricate themselves.

Given the situation, there was only a clear option for the Ethereal Peak disciples – escape!

Furthermore, they did not have much time left.

Once Wen Xuan and Elder Yu could not hold on any longer, their opponents would no longer be just the hundreds of Foundation Establishment Cultivators on the ground – the Golden Cores would come after them as well.

“Hurry, let’s go!”

The leader of the legacy disciples, Qin Yu, roared and turned to escape, not daring to linger.

The other legacy disciple, Ji Chengtian, followed closely behind.

Many Ethereal Sword disciples flew on their swords as they scattered and fled towards the outsides of Dongling Valley.

“Bro, Senior Sister Leng! Let’s flee!”

Little fatty shouted, nervous and sweating profusely.

Leng Rou nodded.

Both of them looked towards Su Zimo instinctively.

Right then, Su Zimo’s gaze was narrowed as he let out a chilling killing intent. Wielding the supreme-grade flying sword in his palm, it trembled continuously.

Naturally, Su Zimo knew that the smartest thing to do right now was to escape from this place.

However, he was indignant!

“You guys go ahead first! I’m going to kill him!”

Su Zimo waved his sleeves and the supreme-grade flying sword in his palm shone with four dazzling beams of light. With a swoosh, it tore through the air and pierced towards Feng Haoyu.

“Bang!”

At the same time, Su Zimo took a step forward with his left foot and landed heavily on the ground. Exerting strength in both legs, he was like a divine steed, dashing madly leaving a series of afterimages in his wake.

“Oh?”

Feng Haoyu sensed an extremely sharp aura akin to a beam stabbing on his back. The air was ripped apart, letting out strange, hissing noises.

Furrowing his brows, Feng Haoyu turned his flying sword and channeled Ethereal Sword without thinking twice.

Swoosh!

His sword quivered and entered the voids.

Because it was so fast, the superior-grade flying sword was almost melded into the void and became translucent, almost impossible to detect.

In terms of sword wielding technique, Feng Haoyu was indeed far superior compared to Su Zimo.

“Clang!”

Feng Haoyu’s flying sword arrived first and managed to block Su Zimo’s sword, causing sparks to fly everywhere.

“Supreme-grade flying sword!”

Noticing the four spirit patterns on Su Zimo’s flying sword, Feng Haoyu’s gaze turned fervent with a trace of greed.

“Feng Haoyu, hand your life over!”

Su Zimo’s voice boomed out like thunder and his aura was torrential. Bearing a deadly killing intent, he possessed an indomitable force that came crashing down!

Feng Haoyu’s expression changed starkly.

“Su Zimo, how dare you...”

Feng Haoyu had not expected that instead of escaping, Su Zimo would choose to charge at the hundreds of Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

Naturally, Su Zimo knew that he was no match for Feng Haoyu when it came to sword wielding technique.

Even with the supreme-grade flying sword, he would only be able to tie with Feng Haoyu at most if they were to have a sword fight.

Hence, the reason why Su Zimo summoned his flying sword was merely to serve as a distraction for Feng Haoyu.

His true killing move was still behind!

Right now, Su Zimo was less than five steps away from Feng Haoyu.

Given this distance, even if Feng Haoyu was at perfected Foundation Establishment, he would have to die of regret!

Boom!

With a backhand punch, Su Zimo’s right arm drew a gigantic arc in the air as he punched his fist like a seal, compressing the air and erupting into a deafening bang.

Feng Haoyu did not have time to dodge and crushed a protection talisman in his hand instantly.

A barrier of light rose up.

Bang!

The seal slammed heavily against the barrier with a supreme might.

Snap!

A Grade 2 Protection Talisman was destroyed by Su Zimo with a single punch!

Psst!

Gasping, Feng Haoyu’s pupils constricted furiously.

Su Zimo’s gaze was ice cold, his eyes laden with killing intent. Taking a step forth, he threw another punch.

That single punch sealed all of Feng Haoyu’s escape paths!

Whoosh!

Feng Haoyu spun around furiously and a pair of huge wings extended strangely from his back.

Unlike real wings, his wings were formed by a secret skill to condense spirit energy.

That secret skill was none other than one of Ethereal Peak’s three major ones – Ethereal Wings!

Ethereal Wings was considered as a support technique.

With that, Foundation Establishment Cultivators could soar through the air without the help of any external objects just like Golden Cores!

Compared to Sword Kinesis Flight, Ethereal Wings made one even more agile. Used appropriately, the increase to a cultivator’s strength would be extremely obvious.

Given the situation, Feng Haoyu turned and fled. If he were to run on the ground, he would not be able to escape Su Zimo’s pursuit.

If he were to use Sword Kinesis Flight, he had to summon his flying sword and there would be a delay in that.

The only way he could escape alive was by making use of Ethereal Wings!

Swish!

The wings flapped as Feng Haoyu soared into the skies and sped through the air.

That change had completely exceeded Su Zimo’s expectations.

Seeing that he was about to punch into air, Su Zimo stomped on the ground and leaped into the skies by making use of the rebound force.

Crackle!

At the same time, his tendons and bones resonated at the same time and his right arm suddenly expanded by an entire foot. Using his fist like a palm, he grabbed at Feng Haoyu’s back.

Shing!

Blood filled the air.

“Ah!”

A tragic cry was heard in midair.

A large piece of flesh was ripped off from Feng Haoyu’s left leg, revealing his bones and tendons in a shocking manner!

If Feng Haoyu had been any slower, his entire heart would have been ripped out!

Su Zimo landed on the ground.

Flapping his Ethereal Wings, Feng Haoyu’s face was pale and cold sweat trickled down his face.

He escaped to the side of the blood robed youth, panting heavily as he looked back with lingering fear.

At that moment, hundreds of Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Blood Crow Palace had already rushed up, causing flying swords and spirit arts to rain down.

The blood robed youth was not the only one beside Feng Haoyu, there was the Golden Core spirit demon as well.

It was no longer practical for Su Zimo to rush up and slay Feng Haoyu.

Gritting his teeth, he retreated.

Swoosh!

The supreme-grade flying sword tore through the voids and returned to Su Zimo’s side while slaying a Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the same time.

Bang!

Another Foundation Establishment Cultivator rushed over and was met with a casual punch by Su Zimo that caused his entire body to explode as he died on the spot.

Splash!

Churning his bloodline, a terrifying tsunami sound came from within Su Zimo’s body, gushing rapidly in a frightening manner.

In the vast crowd, Su Zimo was like an ancient demon with an overwhelming aura.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

He strode forth with the Plow Heaven Stride.

Instantly, the many cultivators in front of him exploded on the spot as their flesh splattered, leaving nothing but corpses and a river of blood on the ground.

Stepping on the corpses and river of blood, Su Zimo was like a god of death, charging towards the outside of Dongling Valley.

“Oh?”

Not far away, the blood robed youth’s gaze landed on Su Zimo. He exclaimed softly as he looked on with curiosity.

“What a powerful bloodline. Interesting. Who is that?”

The blood robed youth asked.

Gulping, Feng Haoyu replied with a deep voice, “That is Su Zimo. He’s the one that killed your blood slave outside of Linfeng City.”

“I’ve finally found him.”

The blood robed youth smirked in a lazy manner. “It would be a pity if I killed someone with that bloodline just like that. I want to turn him into my blood slave. He shall bow to me as his master and be used by me for the rest of his life!”

Chapter 219: Slaying Meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators

“Ah! Ah! Ahhhh!”

Not far away, screams could be heard.

The blood-eyed crows that were initially hovering in the skies flapped their wings as demonic qi swirled around them. Rushing down, they circled the disciples of Ethereal Peak and bit them continuously!

Every single blood-eyed crow had the strength of a Foundation Establishment spirit demon!

They possessed terrifying strength that could not be ignored.

Any Ethereal Peak disciples that fell behind would be devoured cleanly by the blood-eyed crows in the blink of an eye, leaving nothing but white bones.

Before long, there were only a few dozen Ethereal Peak disciples left.

Other than Su Zimo, all the other disciples that fell behind had all died!

Qin Yu and Ji Chengtian, the two legacy disciples, were in a sorry state as they shouted with all their might to command the situation.

With their efforts, they gathered the remaining dozens of disciples together and deployed their flying swords, spirit arts and talismans to weave out a defensive barrier, temporarily blocking the blood-eyed crows.

However, the difference in strength between both sides was too great!

The blood-eyed crows were endless, blotting out the skies and attacking the defensive barrier set by the Ethereal Peak disciples relentlessly.

It was as if Qin Yu and the rest were walking through a swamp at an extremely slow speed as they sank deeper and deeper.

It wouldn’t last long. The moment Qin Yu and the others did not have enough spirit qi to continue or exposed any flaws, the entire defensive barrier would collapse.

By then, the remaining dozens of people would turn into food for the blood-eyed crows.

This was a complete massacre!

With Elder Chen and Feng Haoyu as the spies, Blood Crow Palace had a complete grasp of Ethereal Peak’s strength for this trap and planned this trap meticulously.

Blood Crow Palace did not give Ethereal Peak any chance at all.

After all, the blood robed youth and the Golden Core spirit demon were still watching idly by the sidelines and had yet to take any action.

Once the two of them attacked, the last hope of everyone from Ethereal Peak would be extinguished as well!

The only choice left for the cultivators of Ethereal Peak today was to turn into blood slaves for the blood robed cultivator – no one would be able to leave this place alive!

At that moment, the blood robed youth gazed at Su Zimo who was battling in the crowd and nodded repeatedly, feeling increasingly satisfied.

“Not bad, not bad.”

He said with a smile, “Only a cultivator as such is worthy to be my blood slave. He can follow me and conquer the ancient battlefield!”

“Young master, do you want me to capture that lad?”

Yu Fei, the Golden Core spirit demon behind the blood robed youth, leaned in and asked with a cold expression.

The blood robed youth chuckled and waved it off. “There’s no need to hurry. Let’s wait and see. I’m curious about this Su Zimo’s limits and how long he can last.”

...

On the battlefield.

Four Foundation Establishment Cultivators stood side by side, blocking Su Zimo’s path forward.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There were sounds coming from the four of their bodies as spirit meridians surfaced on their bodies, illuminating through their robes.

There were two One Meridian, one Two Meridian and one Three Meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

To begin with, it was already ridiculous to have a cultivator with unlocked meridians fight a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Now, there were four cultivators with unlocked meridians and one of them was even at three meridian Foundation Establishment!

The spirit energy of a one meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator was already superior to Su Zimo, let alone a three meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

Su Zimo was definitely not a match for them in terms of brute strength.

Furthermore, the four meridian cultivators worked together in sync, interweaving their spirit arts and flying sword together to form an impenetrable trap to block Su Zimo’s escape path.

There was no way Su Zimo could escape at all.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

All of a sudden!

Su Zimo opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath, causing a massive air current to surge down his throat with a faint pain.

With a puffed up chest, Su Zimo nearly took in all the surrounding air through a single breath!

Anaconda Eclipse!

At the same time, the thumb and middle of his left hand joined together to form a strange hand seal, causing spirit energy to circulate insanely within him.

Even though the Fiend Suppression Seal was extremely strong, it consumed too much spirit energy.

Once he used that move, Su Zimo would be left with almost no spirit energy. That was also why he waited till now before releasing it.

“Fiend Suppression Seal!”

A gigantic golden palm descended from the skies. The patterns on the palm could be seen clearly as it emitted a golden glow and tore through the layers of fog, crushing the bodies of many blood-eyed crows that it passed.

“Oh?”

The four meridian cultivators narrowed their gazes and instantly recognized how formidable that hand seal was.

However, the four of them were composed.

With their eyesight, they were able to deduce that even though the power of that hand seal was immense, the spirit energy in Su Zimo’s body was too little.

He was unable to unleash the full might of the Fiend Suppression Seal.

The combined strength of the four of them would be enough to destroy the Fiend Suppression Seal!

“Flying Immortal Art!”

“Sky Capital Fist!”

“Silver Frost!”

“Cloud Tearing Finger!”

The four of them released their spirit arts at the same time, pointing it at the gigantic golden palm that was descending from the skies.

Right then, Su Zimo opened his mouth and roared.

“Kill!”

His voice was like thunder, booming through the crowd.

The other cultivators froze for a brief moment.

The four meridian cultivators in front of him trembled slightly and the spirit energy in their hands nearly dispersed. Naturally, the power of their spirit arts could not be used to their fullest extent.

That was the Thunderclap Kill.

That surprise attack through his voice was enough to confuse his opponents.

In truth, Su Zimo was unable to unleash the true might of Thunderclap Kill at this moment due to restrictions of his physique.

Bang! Boom! Boom!

The gigantic golden palm crushed from the skies and clashed with the four spirit arts. A series of loud booms echoed out but the palm was not destroyed right away.

Swash!

A strange sword beam appeared, slicing at the side of the four meridian cultivators with a cold killing intent.

Four spirit patterns shone on the sword.

It was Su Zimo’s supreme-grade flying sword!

In fact, Su Zimo had already sent out his flying sword at the same time as when he released the Fiend Suppression Seal and Thunderclap Kill.

The two moves earlier were all superficial trump cards – his true killing move was the flying sword at the back!

Poof! Poof! Poof!

Three consecutive crisp sounds could be heard.

The necks of three meridian cultivators were pierced.

Blood flashed.

Looking terrified, all three of them clutched at their wounds furiously. However, blood continued to gush out in an unstoppable momentum.

Their eyes dimmed as they sensed their lives draining away from their moment.

That attack had not only pierced their throats. The sword qi emitted was so sharp that it even severed their large arteries.

That was equivalent to chopping their heads off entirely!

Thump!

Falling to the ground one after another, all three pairs of eyes were widened as their bodies convulsed limply. Blood flowed from their bodies and stained the ground.

Of the four people, only the three meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator had managed to escape that tragedy.

However, he was also scared out of his wits after that exchange of blows. Retreating to the side, he looked at Su Zimo fearfully.

If he had not experienced it himself, this would have been truly unimaginable.

To think that a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator would be able to slay meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators with the use of so many secret killing moves!

If someone like that were to cultivate to the state of meridian Foundation Establishment, how frightening would his combat strength be?

Chapter 220: Wrath of Thunder

Although the clash between both parties seemed short, it was filled with spirit arts, a clash of secret skills and psychological warfare.

Given another battlefield or environment, Su Zimo may not have been able to win.

Furthermore, he was left with almost no spirit energy after releasing Fiend Suppression Seal.

Right then, Su Zimo’s scalp tingled as he felt a sense of danger!

He realized that he had been targeted.

Furthermore, that person was extremely strong and wasn’t someone he could resist!

It was a Golden Core expert!

It could be the Golden Core that was fighting Wen Xuan and Elder Yu in midair or the spirit demon Golden Core that was standing beside the blood robed youth.

Su Zimo took a deep breath of air and tried hard to compose himself. Breaking through the encirclement, he sped until he was outside Qin Yu and the others.

“Caw, caw!”

Many blood-eyed crows caught the scent of fresh blood and let out unpleasant cries as they swarmed towards Su Zimo in the hundreds.

Those blood-eyed crows were all spirit demons with powerful bodies – they posed a huge threat for Qin Yu and the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Qin Yu and the others did not dare let the blood-eyed crows come close at all!

However, Su Zimo’s body was much stronger than those ordinary blood-eyed crows!

Even if more blood-eyed crows were to surround him, they may not be able to injure him.

It was no exaggeration to claim that although Su Zimo was human, even the physique of ancient remnant demon beasts may not be able to match his!

Even against pure-blooded ferocious beasts, Su Zimo’s body and bloodline were superior.

Su Zimo’s expression did not change when he saw the blood-eyed crows swarming towards him. A roaring sound of tigers and leopards alongside thunder rumbling echoed forth from his body.

Splash!

Bang! Boom! Boom!

The blood-eyed crows were not only not scared of such a formidable bloodline, the sanguine light in their eyes grew even brighter as they turned more ferocious!

They saw Su Zimo was nothing more than a delicious piece of tonic!

After all, blood-eyed crows were only ordinary demon beasts. How could they have the chance to devour the flesh of an ancient remnant beast or pure-blooded ferocious beast on a day to day basis?

Su Zimo on the other hand was a living, breathing pure-blooded ferocious beast right in front of them!

As long as they could eat a piece of Su Zimo’s flesh and drink a mouthful of his blood, their strength would increase significantly!

“Bro!”

When he saw that, little fatty exclaimed.

However, his voice was drowned by the cries of the endless blood-eyed crows and couldn’t be heard.

Leng Rou’s heart skipped a beat and her gaze dimmed.

They knew clearly well how terrifying the blood-eyed crows were. None of the cultivators that were left behind could escape from being devoured alive by those beasts.

So what if Su Zimo was strong in melee combat?

He was a human after all. How could he withstand so many blood-eyed crows?

Little fatty and Leng Rou could only watch on helplessly as the blood-eyed crows swarmed at Su Zimo, drowning him in their midst.

“Forget it.”

Leng Rou sighed inwardly and shook her head.

They could not hold on much longer either.

Their resistance was merely a momentary respite. Before long, they would end up in the same tragic state.

Disheartened, Leng Rou switched her flying sword’s direction and was prepare to commit suicide.

She did not want to experience being torn apart by the blood-eyed crows till she was unrecognizable. Rather than that, she would rather do it herself!

Right then, a strange sound burst forth from the blood-eyed crows that were surrounding Su Zimo.

Crackle!

Endless flashes of lightning burst forth from Su Zimo’s body in a blinding manner.

Snap!

Thunder boomed.

A thick thunderbolt shot down from the skies, connecting to Su Zimo’s body without dissipating for a long time as though he was a link to the heavens.

In the middle of everything, dazzling thunderbolts extended in all directions from Su Zimo like pythons. They surged wildly, as if forming an ocean of lightning with raging waves, enveloping the blood-eyed crows in its midst!

The power of thunder was the most terrifying among all various powers.

Furthermore, thunder was strong and masculine, purging evil with ease – it was the nemesis of something vile like these blood-eyed crows.

Under the sweeping of the lightning ocean, the blood-eyed crows cried out tragically as they fell from the skies, covered in thick smoke.

It was an extremely shocking sight!

Be it the Blood Crow Palace cultivators or Ethereal Peak disciples, all of them watched on dumbfounded as disbelief filled their eyes.

Through the depths of the firmaments, thunder descended onto Su Zimo’s body.

Standing in the middle of the lightning ocean, he stood unmoved. He was like a god undergoing a catharsis of lightning, looking down at the vast sky and purging all evil in the world!

This was the wrath of thunder!

“Well, well, well!”

The blood robed youth was the first to react. His eyes lit up as he laughed instead of getting angry, nodding repeatedly without concealing the admiration in his eyes.

As for Feng Haoyu, his eyes revealed a hint of fear and even envy!

Even though he had learned the three major secret skills of the sect, he did not know of any thunder art as such.

The Golden Core spirit demon, Yu Fei, had an indifferent expression as he looked on coldly.

No matter what tricks Su Zimo had up his sleeves, it did not affect the current situation at all.

Golden Cores and Foundation Establishment Cultivators were a world of a difference that could not be closed!

As long as he made a move, Su Zimo would not be able to fight back.

“Alright!”

A series of cheers broke out from the crowd of Ethereal Peak.

After Su Zimo’s attack, the number of blood-eyed crows decreased rapidly and that eased the pressure on Qin Yu and the others significantly.

“Su Zimo, I’ll offer you a chance to live. Be my blood slave.”

Right then, the blood robed youth walked towards Su Zimo. His pace was unhurried and his tone was calm. However, it carried a hint of unquestionable power.

Turning around, Su Zimo’s gaze lingered momentarily on the blood robed youth.

To the people of Ethereal Peak, the situation in front of them was a deadly trap.

But right at that moment, Su Zimo vaguely sensed that there was a sliver of life in this deadly trap.

The blood robed youth had an extremely high status and the Golden Core spirit demon did not leave his side at all, guarding like a shadow.

If Su Zimo could lure the blood robed youth away, that Golden Core spirit demon would leave as well.

That way, a massive threat would be removed for everyone of Ethereal Peak!

Even though there were still quite a number of blood-eyed crows and Foundation Establishment Cultivators left in the battlefield, the Ethereal Peak disciples might have a chance of escaping since they were all at Foundation Establishment realm!

This was the only chance for everyone of Ethereal Peak!

Even though it was a sliver of hope, it was worth a try.

“Someone like you?”

Su Zimo scoffed coldly at the blood robed youth before turning around suddenly, speeding towards the outside of Dongling Valley.

The formidable bloodline aura emitted by Su Zimo attracted a large number of blood-eyed crows to chase after him as well.

He was extremely fast. Making use of Divine Steed Fleeting, even perfected Foundation Establishment Cultivators would not be able to match his full speed!

“Oh? You want to escape?”

The blood robed youth focused his gaze and withdrew a white bone staff from his storage bag. With a single leap, he stood on it and sped forth, his body bursting with spirit energy.

The light of spirit meridians flashed endlessly from the blood robed youth’s body.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four spirit meridians!

The blood robed youth was a four meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
