Eternal Sacred King Chapter 441 to 450
Chapter 441: Start of the Nightmare
“I was exposed?”
Although Su Zimo was expressionless on the surface, he was internally shocked.
“Don’t deny it! It’s definitely you!”
Demoness Ji inched over and whispered, “You can’t hide it from me. My instincts have always been keen.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,”
Su Zimo replied indifferently before shifting his gaze towards the dozen or so figures standing at the outer perimeter of the Human Emperor’s Palace.
All of those cultivators were white-haired and old.
Although their eyes were turbid and they seemed like they were at the end of their lives, there were still terrifying auras being exuded from them.
They were Sealers!
Demoness Ji commented, “Don’t worry, the Sealers won’t dare to strike given the circumstances. With the immortal, fiend and Buddhist sects at a stalemate, as long as one of the factions strike and make use of their Golden Core powers, the Sealers from the other two factions would also be implicated. By then, all parties would suffer great losses and perish!”
The twelve cultivators of the immortal and Buddhist sects walked over slowly in two rows, keeping their eyes on the six people on the side of the fiend sects, Su Zimo included.
Hang Qiuyu of Sword Sect targeted Pang Yue of Overlord Palace right away.
Ao Yuxiao of Purple Firmament Sect targeted the fiend heir of Illusion Fiend Cult as well.
It was a battle between the strong!
The successor of Snowdrift Valley of the immortal sects was a cold woman in white robes. She controlled a silver needle with a frosty aura and specialized in penetrating protection talismans and inner armors.
The nun of Clear Heart Nunnery wielded a long sword that shimmered coldly.
The two female cultivators of the immortal and Buddhist sects set their sights on Demoness Ji right away!
“Seems like I’ll have to take care of that unknown person then.”
The successor of Heavenly Dipper Sect smiled faintly. With a wave of his sleeves, a flying sword that shimmered with five spirit lights tore through the air and headed straight for Su Zimo’s head!
Sweeping his head, Su Zimo nodded to himself.
It was as expected of the top super sects of Tianhuang Mainland. With powerful foundations, most of their paragons were in possession of perfect spirit weapons!
Su Zimo was not flustered at all as he brushed past his storage bag, causing a saber to appear in his palms.
Clang!
His saber trembled and shone with four spirit patterns.
It was a supreme-grade spirit saber that he had found in the Elixir Pool Sect ruins.
Since he wanted to hide his identity, there was naturally no way Su Zimo would take out a weapon as signature as his Blood Quencher. Otherwise, he would be exposed by Demoness Ji and Bai Yu immediately.
Although he could not make use of Blood Quencher, Su Zimo had no intention of concealing the five stances of the Sea Calming Manual.
The reason for that was because he knew that apart from him, there was another successor who knew of those five stances in the cultivation world...
Pshew!
The flying sword tore through the air and shone with five spirit lights. Like a blazing sun that was filled with astral qi, it had an intimidating aura and arrived in an instant.
Su Zimo’s expression did not change as the spirit energy in his body surged wildly, causing seven spirit meridians to shine underneath his robes.
“Ha, so you’re a piece of trash!”
When Bai Yu swept his gaze and caught sight of that, he could not help but sneer.
The other fiend heirs let out disappointed expressions as well.
On the other hand, the paragons of the immortal and Buddhist sects looked relaxed.
Seven meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators were considered as rare geniuses in the cultivation world and in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they were even rarer.
However, for the many paragons present, seven meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators were equivalent to trash that wouldn’t be able to last for more than ten breaths in a massive fight as such!
Even for cultivators of other sects that were also at eight meridian Foundation Establishment, they were far weaker than the successors of super sects, let alone seven meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
The fiend heirs were already frustrated given the fact that they were in dire straits. When they saw this, they were even more upset.
Shangguan Yu of Cloud Rain Sect opened his folding fan and defended against two incoming flying swords while sneering, “Demoness Ji, your judgment is truly getting worse!”
Among the paragons present, only two of them did not show any contempt.
One of them was Demoness Ji and the other was Monk Jue Chen who had suffered a loss in the hands of Su Zimo previously!
Clang!
An ear-piercing sound of metal clashing echoed in the void.
Sparks flew as Su Zimo swung his supreme-grade spirit saber against the incoming flying sword. Instantly, the astral qi on the sword was shattered by an immense force and dissipated on the spot!
Buzz!
The sword quivered unsteadily, showing signs of falling.
“Hmm?”
The expressions of a few paragons changed when they saw this.
“This...”
“Something isn’t right.”
“Such burst power... watch out, that man’s a body tempered cultivator!”
Swash!
Su Zimo had already vanished from the spot and within a couple of steps, he arrived in front of the successor of Heavenly Dipper Sect. His eyes shone brightly with a surging killing intent as he slammed down with his saber!
The blade cut through the void at an extremely fast speed and it was so forceful that heat was emitting from the saber!
“So fast!”
The successor of Heavenly Dipper Sect realized that the situation was bad and his hair stood on ends as his pupils constricted.
He was too careless!
With that moment of carelessness, he had lost the initiative and was now the disadvantaged party who was in danger!
Swoosh!
Slapping his storage bag, he swiftly pulled out a dark gold shield and injected spirit energy into it, lifting it above his head as it expanded.
Clang!
Another loud boom sounded when the saber clashed against the shield.
“Ugh!”
The light on the shield dimmed, as if the spirit light was severed by Su Zimo’s saber. With a dull grunt, the successor of Heavenly Dipper Sect almost knelt onto the ground.
As he lifted his shield with one arm, the successor gripped his other hand into a fist that was surrounded by astral qi. He threw a punch at Su Zimo’s chest like a long spear!
This was the successor of one of the nine immortal sects, Heavenly Dipper Sect, no matter what.
That was why he was still able to retaliate despite his current circumstances.
“Don’t!”
Suddenly, Monk Jue Chen’s voice sounded.
However, it was too late.
Su Zimo’s eyes flickered with mockery when he saw the successor of Heavenly Dipper Sect throw out a punch as he did the same and received the incoming punch with a punch of his own!
Bang!
The two fists collided.
The astral wind ruptured and the tides surged.
Instantly, color drained from the successor of Heavenly Dipper Sect’s face as bead-like sweat droplets started flowing down from his head.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
A jarring sound of bones cracking echoed out.
A few paragons turned towards the sound instinctively and their expressions changed.
The successor of Heavenly Dipper Sect’s palm had already disappeared, turning into meat sludge that hung off his wrist.
His entire arm was contorted into a weird shape with his bones protruding out of his flesh as it hung limply. With the meat hanging on his bones, it was a terrifying sight!
“Ah!”
The successor of Heavenly Dipper Sect howled in pain as he collapsed to the ground, shivering with a fearful expression.
With two slashes and a punch, the successor of Heavenly Dipper Sect was crippled!
The paragons present were not the only ones shocked; even the Sealers that were watching were slightly agitated.
“In a fight between lions, one has to use their full strength. Since he underestimated his opponent, he has no one but himself to blame for landing in such a state.”
“Was it truly... just because he underestimated his opponent?”
Instantly, the tides on the battlefield had changed.
Nobody expected that the successor of Heavenly Dipper Sect would land in a tragic state with a crippled arm after a single exchange of blows.
This meant that a paragon had already lost the rights to fight for the Human Emperor’s inheritance and had to withdraw.
The paragons present looked at the successor of Heavenly Dipper Sect with a pitiable expression.
Up till this point, the paragons had not realized that a nightmare that would continue to haunt them for many years to come had just begun...
Compared to some of the others present, the fate of Heavenly Dipper Sect’s successor was considered lucky.
Chapter 442: How Dare You Provoke Me Again?
“What’s this Mad Blade’s background? He’s got some skills.”
Pang Yue roared in laughter as he swept his spear horizontally, forcing Hang Qiuyu, who was coming at him, to retreat with a thrust.
Compared to Malevolent Earth Sect’s spear techniques, Pang Yue’s spear technique was much less complex.
It was just a simple thrust from the middle level. However, its momentum was oppressive and the spear’s ferociousness was shot forth completely; he was not disadvantaged even against two opponents!
Sword Sect’s Hang Qiuyu’s sword technique was not weak at all and his sword qi was extremely sharp, possessing both offense and defense. Colliding continuously against Pang Yue’s gigantic spear, the sound of metal clanging rang repeatedly as sparks flew endlessly.
On the side of the fiend sects, apart from Pang Yue who could hold his ground in a one versus two, the other fiend heirs were completely disadvantaged.
For Shangguan Yu of Cloud Rain Sect and Demoness Ji of Pure Maiden Sect who were weaker in combat strength to begin with, they were in a perilous situation and were completely suppressed, forced to retreat continuously.
On the other side.
The fiend heir of Illusion Fiend Cult might not necessarily win Ao Yuxiao of Purple Firmament Sect in a one on one fight.
Now that the successor of Clear Wind Temple was assisting Ao Yuxiao, the fiend heir of Illusion Fiend Cult was at a loss and the situation was not looking good for him.
If this battle continued, the few fiend heirs were bound to lose!
On the battlefield, the only variable was the burly man in linen clothes with an unknown background, known to everyone as Mad Blade.
...
Ding!
After crippling Heavenly Dipper Sect’s successor with two slashes and a punch, Su Zimo heard a piercing ring of a bell beside him.
The bell rang for a long time and was never-ending, like a sharp thorn that pierced his head repeatedly!
With a golden bell in hand, Monk Jue Chen had already arrived behind Su Zimo!
That was a spirit weapon of the Buddhist sects, the Golden Bell. Its body was a bell made of purple-gold copper and its mouth was circular with rounded edges; exquisite patterns were engraved all over its body.
The Golden Bell in Monk Jue Chen’s hand was nourished by the Buddhist light in Diamond Monastery. Day and night, it listened to the chanting of scriptures by monks and it possessed an inexplicably noble power!
It had the strongest impact on those who had evil thoughts and came from heretical doctrines.
Cultivators that were weaker would die on the spot, bleeding from all orifices!
When Monk Jue Chen arrived here, he killed dozens of seven meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators with just the ringing sound of the Golden Bell alone – that was proof of how terrifying its might was!
However, it was a pity that although the bell was powerful, its impact was almost negligible for Su Zimo who had cleared all seven orifices.
Swoosh!
An evil gust of wind blew behind him.
Wielding his Diamond Staff, Monk Jue Chen stabbed at Su Zimo’s head with astounding strength.
Clang!
Su Zimo did not even turn back and made a backhand slash, as though he had eyes behind his back. Clashing heavily against the Diamond Staff, a loud sound was heard as sparks flew everywhere!
One side was a reactionary counter-attack while the other side was a preemptive strike.
However, Su Zimo did not yield.
Yet, Monk Jue Chen was forced to retreat half a step back!
“How strong!”
“That person’s physique is actually comparable to the successor of Diamond Monastery?”
The paragons were astounded upon seeing this.
Initially, when Su Zimo crippled Heavenly Dipper Sect’s successor, everyone thought that it was merely because the latter underestimated his opponent and was caught unaware.
But now that Su Zimo was not disadvantaged after a head-on clash with Monk Jue Chen, the paragons of the immortal and Buddhist sects frowned and their expressions gradually turned grim.
They did not know that at the moment, Monk Jue Chen was even more shocked.
His Diamond Staff, a perfect spirit weapon of the Buddhist sects as well, was stronger than the Golden Bell.
The Diamond Staff, also known as the Treasure Staff or Demon Vanquishing Staff, was one of the unique weapons of Diamond Monastery. It symbolized invincibility and unyielding dominance that was capable of suppressing all evil!
Initially, Monk Jue Chen thought that he could suppress Su Zimo confidently by relying on those two spirit weapons.
However, even with those two spirit weapons, he did not gain any advantage. Instead, he was the one disadvantaged right now!
“Hehe.”
Turning around, Su Zimo grinned and said, “Monk, after I spared your life the previous time, how dare you provoke me again?”
Boom!
Su Zimo stomped his feet and the ground and mountains shook. With a bang, he burst forward and appeared in front of Monk Jue Chen in the blink of an eye. Circulating his bloodline, he swung his arms and cut down with his saber, as if he wanted to rip the void apart!
“Develop a mind that abides nowhere!”
Monk Jue Chen chanted his Buddhist scriptures as his Diamond Heart burst forth with the power of bloodline. Instantly, his figure expanded along with his aura!
“Roar!”
From the depths of Monk Jue Chen’s mouth came a furious roar that sounded like a mythical lion and was able to shock one’s mind. Two bedazzling golden beams shot out from his eyes like a descending Vajra with a terrifying might!
It was as though Monk Jue Chen’s body had disappeared and in his place stood a mighty lion with golden fur that roared into the sky fearlessly!
Even Shangguan Yu and the others who were watching from the perimeter of the battlefield were shocked, let alone Su Zimo who was facing the impact directly.
Many secret skills of the Buddhist sects were truly effective at countering the fiend sects.
However, it was a pity that Monk Jue Chen was facing Su Zimo.
Su Zimo’s cultivation basis was the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness!
Furthermore, he had even devoured half a dragon!
After meeting with Su Zimo’s demonish gaze, the fearless lion developed an innate sense of fear and its aura weakened momentarily.
Clang!
The spirit saber collided against the Diamond Staff and a jarring sound of metal clashing rang.
Monk Jue Chen retreated once more.
Swash!
Before he could catch his breath, a second strike had already descended.
Su Zimo’s stamina and physique was terrifying and was far beyond what Monk Jue Chen could compare with.
While the Diamond Sutra merely tempered one’s body, the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness transformed Su Zimo entirely into an existence that was even more terrifying than pure-blooded ferocious beasts!
Clang!
Monk Jue Chen could only raise his Diamond Staff once more to defend against the second strike. By now, his arms had gone numb and no longer had any feeling as he was forced to retreat once more with a pale expression.
When the successor of Hollow Monastery saw that, he charged towards Su Zimo, leaving the successor of Wisdom Monastery to fight alone with Shangguan Yu of Cloud Rain Sect.
Swoosh!
Hollow Monastery’s successor wielded an alloy steel rod which slammed down as he leaped upwards. The wind howled with a buzzing sound as though the mountains were about to be crushed into dust!
“Ah!”
Right then, a shriek sounded from the other side of the battlefield.
Under the attacks of the two successors of Snowdrift Valley and Clear Heart Nunnery, Demoness Ji finally failed to hold out. A gash appeared on her arm and blood gushed out – it was clear that she was already injured.
The wound seemed like it was small and did not injure her bones.
However, the flying swords of Snowdrift Valley possessed a thousand-year-old frost qi that could freeze one’s bloodline and spirit energy. At that moment, the qi was infiltrating Demoness Ji’s body repeatedly through her wound, cruising through her limbs.
Demoness Ji’s movements became more sluggish and there was even a layer of frost covering her eyes and lips!
Su Zimo narrowed his gaze when he saw that.
At that moment, everyone from the fiend sects, even Pang Yue of Overlord Palace, could not take care of themselves.
Nobody was available to rescue Demoness Ji.
Monk Jue Chen wielded his Diamond Staff and Hollow Monastery’s successor wielded his alloy steel rod. Two accomplished monks of the Buddhist sects were lunging towards Su Zimo at the same time!
Su Zimo’s eyes lit up and he let out a long holler.
He did not dodge nor retreat against the combined attacks of two paragons of the Buddhist sects. Suddenly, a series of crackling sounds came from within his body like beans being fried as his tendons and bones rang together.
Splash!
Su Zimo slashed.
The tides sounded.
In a Countercurrent!
Sea Calming Manual... Countercurrent stance!
Chapter 443: Successor of Divine Phoenix Island
Su Zimo’s saber was accompanied by a mighty force that could tear through towering waves, going against the current in a domineering manner as if it could cut through everything and sever all living beings!
That massive force that threatened to tear through the voids attracted countless gazes.
“This is...”
“Saber force!”
Some paragons exclaimed in shock.
The sound of the tide was too clear and its force was way too terrifying such that all the paragons present could recognize it – that slash was already at the second level of saber techniques, force.
However, not all the paragons could identify the origin of that slash.
Only Hang Qiuyu of Sword Sect and Bai Yu of Zenith Sect narrowed their gazes before remarking slowly, “Countercurrent stance of the Sea Calming Manual!”
The moment those words were said, a huge wave of shock swept through the battlefield.
While not everyone was able to recognize the origin of that saber technique, all of them have heard of the Sea Calming Manual.
It was the ultimate technique used by the first Saber Emperor to sweep across the world!
Back in the ancient era, the Saber Emperor left Tianhuang Mainland and traveled overseas.
Right now, in the cultivation world, there was only a single successor of a place that knew of that saber technique.
“Divine Phoenix Island!”
“He’s the successor of Divine Phoenix Island! No wonder he doesn’t dare to reveal his sect badge!”
The major factions of the cultivation world were the nine immortal sects, seven fiend sects, six Buddhist monasteries, five heretical doctrines, four unorthodox groups, three aristocrat families, two islands and one palace.
Among them, the two islands were established overseas and rarely set foot on Tianhuang Mainland. Without much news, they were the most mysterious.
Divine Phoenix Island was one of the two islands.
Due to the relationship between the Saber Emperor and Sword Emperor in the ancient era, the feud between the two super sects, Divine Phoenix Island and Sword Sect, had also existed for a long time.
Each time a successor of Divine Phoenix Island stepped foot onto Tianhuang Mainland, it would naturally cause a huge commotion in the continent and bloodshed as well.
“He’s the successor of Divine Phoenix Island?”
“The last time a successor of Divine Phoenix Island appeared was 10,000 years ago.”
In the distance, the Sealers muttered and frowned slightly.
Everyone had heard the news of the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea disappearing and someone obtaining the inheritance of the Saber Emperor. However, it was impossible for someone to reach the level of ‘force’ within such a short period of time.
The only possibility was if it was the successor of Divine Phoenix Island who had cultivated the Dao of the saber since he was young and immersed himself in the Sea Calming Manual for many years.
On the battlefield, almost all the paragons believed that this burly man in linen clothes came from Divine Phoenix Island.
However, Bai Yu of Zenith Sect had a grim expression and a dark gaze that lingered for a long time on Su Zimo.
He did not know whether the successor of Divine Phoenix Island entered the ancient battlefield.
However, he witnessed another cultivator obtaining the Saber Emperor’s inheritance and releasing Countercurrent in the same way personally!
Be it in terms of appearance, attire, figure or even weapon used, the burly man before him was way too different from that green-robed cultivator.
However, the two of them had similarities as well!
They were both strong in physique and cultivated the Countercurrent force. Furthermore, based on the green-robed cultivator’s cultivation realm back then, it would make sense for him to be at seven meridian Foundation Establishment right now.
Most importantly, the burly man and green-robed cultivator were both related to Demoness Ji!
Before Bai Yu could finish his thought, a change happened on the battlefield.
Monk Jue Chen and Hollow Monastery’s successor endured the greatest pressure faced with Su Zimo’s attack and they were extremely shocked!
By now, it was too late for the both of them to stop.
Clang! Clang!
There were two loud bangs that happened at the same time!
Before Hollow Monastery’s successor could fall from midair, he was knocked flying by a massive force and thrown far away.
His alloy steel rod was sent flying and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he fell onto the ground. Eyes tightly shut with a pale expression, he had already fainted.
He was severely injured after a single attack!
Yet another paragon had lost the rights to fight.
Monk Jue Chen gripped his Diamond Staff firmly with both hands and used all his strength, channeling the spirit energy in his dantian to its limits. Opening his eyes widely, his blood qi surged and his body was covered with a tough layer as he chanted, “Indestructible diamond!”
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Even so, he could not stop the massive force and retreated continuously.
With each step, a deep footprint would appear on the ground.
After retreating seven steps, Monk Jue Chen was still unable to steady himself as he fell on his butt with blood oozing from the side of his lips in a pathetic manner.
Compared to Hollow Monastery’s successor, he was only mildly injured and could still fight.
Su Zimo did not stop after forcing back two paragons with a single slash. In a flash, he appeared on another side of the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
Right now, Demoness Ji was in a perilous situation.
She had just defended against Snowdrift Valley’s successor’s flying sword and Clear Heart Nunnery’s nun’s flying sword was arriving.
The angle of that attack was extremely tricky.
It stabbed from the bottom of her waist and curved upwards!
Demoness Ji’s eyes and lips had a layer of frost on them and her movements were sluggish. Just as the sword was about to strike her, a saber beam flashed through the battlefield.
A figure appeared before her.
It was a familiar sight.
Swash!
Su Zimo cut right into the battlefield and raised his saber once more.
Unlike Countercurrent, this attack was extremely soft, as if ripples were forming on the surface of a lake as a shimmering light coiled Clear Heart Nunnery’s nun’s sword inside instantly.
Cling! Clang!
There were a series of collisions.
With each collision, the nun’s face would turn paler.
Sea Calming Manual, Ripple stance.
The Ripple stance was as smooth as water and once released, it would attack relentlessly until...
Another saber beam flashed.
The sword in the hands of the nun was repelled and her exposed chest was met with a slash.
Poof!
Flashes of blood appeared.
“Ah!”
Exclaiming, the nun staggered in retreat as a bloodied wound appeared on her chest with blood flowing out.
It was lucky that she had crushed a protection talisman earlier on or that slash would have cut her into two!
Another paragon was forced out of the fight.
Pshew!
The sound of a sharp blade tearing through the air was chilling.
Slashing in reverse, Su Zimo struck the incoming flying sword and a layer of frost appeared on his saber.
At the same time, the voice of Snowdrift Valley’s successor sounded.
“Frost Seal!”
A cold wind that seeped into one’s bones struck Su Zimo and he felt as though someone had poured a basin of cold water from above.
Under the watchful gazes of many, a thick layer of ice could be seen forming on Su Zimo’s body in a visible speed. Starting from his head, it spread gradually and covered his entire body.
In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo was motionless as he maintained his previous saber stance with a frozen expression – he had turned into a life-like ice sculpture.
At the sight of that, some paragons heaved a sigh of relief.
The strength that Su Zimo displayed was way too terrifying. Furthermore, it was so overwhelming that three paragons had fallen in his hands.
Of the many paragons present, no one had absolute confidence of suppressing him.
“Good move, Fellow Daoist Ling Han! It’s no wonder why you’re the successor of Snowdrift Valley.”
“Amazing, to think that you froze the successor of Divine Phoenix Island instantly with a single Frost Seal!”
Some paragons praised one after another.
Demoness Ji’s heart sank as endless worry surged in her eyes. Without even purging away the frost qi within her, she shivered and wanted to head forth to rescue Su Zimo.
“It’s too late,”
Ling Han, the successor of Snowdrift Valley, descended from the skies with her white robes fluttering. She declared coldly with a haughty expression, “That’s Snowdrift Valley’s secret skill. Anyone that’s struck by it will have their bloodlines and spirit energy frozen and they’ll die within ten breaths!”
“Is that so?”
Suddenly, a strange voice sounded from the battlefield.
Chapter 444: Saber and Sword Showdown
Everyone could clearly tell that the voice came from within the ice sculpture!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Along with cracking sounds, a series of cracks appeared on the ice sculpture, extending and growing until they covered the entire body.
Snowdrift Valley’s Ling Han’s expression changed as disbelief filled her eyes.
Boom!
There was a deafening sound.
Right in front of everyone, the ice sculpture exploded, revealing a tall and burly figure.
The sound of a tsunami could be heard from that person’s body as it echoed in a shuddering manner!
“Tsunami blood!”
Someone exclaimed softly.
This sudden change caused many paragons that were fighting to stop temporarily and turn their gazes over.
Zenith Sect’s Bai Yu’s gaze shimmered and his expression was grim.
The burly man before him had yet another similarity with the green-robed cultivator at the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea – both of them were at the tsunami blood realm!
Of course, it was quite an absurd guess and it was mostly due to Bai Yu’s intuition.
While it was possible for a cultivator to change his appearance by making use of some concealment technique or mask-type spirit weapon, it was impossible for them to change so drastically in terms of figure.
That was something that could not be explained.
Sensing Bai Yu’s gaze, Su Zimo was expressionless as killing intent rose in his heart!
Su Zimo was filled with boiling blood that cruised through his limbs and organs, purging away the frost qi within him.
The frost between his brows and hair was gone and steam rose from his head. Surrounded by the mist, Su Zimo was like a supreme immortal king that could not be ignored.
“Hahahaha!”
Casting an arrogant sidelong glance at Snowdrift Valley’s successor not far away, Su Zimo could not help but burst into laughter. “What bullsh*t Frost Seal is that? That’s all there is to it?”
Ling Han’s face was deathly pale and her arms were trembling in anger.
There had never been anyone who looked down on Snowdrift Valley’s secret skill like this.
In other words, if Divine Phoenix Island’s successor had not managed to cultivate to the realm of tsunami blood, there was no way he would have been able to break free from the power of Frost Seal!
Su Zimo retreated a couple of steps and glanced at Demoness Ji who was shivering from head to toe. Frowning slightly, he reached out and held her palm, circulating his spirit energy, causing it to surge into her body!
Although Su Zimo’s cultivation realm was a level lower than the paragons present, his spirit energy was much purer and richer, carrying a scorching heat like a blazing sun.
A warm energy surged within Demoness Ji’s body, purging the frost qi from her slowly.
Perhaps it was because she had recovered some blood qi, or perhaps it was some other reason, but Demoness Ji’s pale face blushed with a darker shade of red. She lowered her head slightly in a shy and charming manner, causing everyone’s hearts to flutter.
The paragons present had different expressions upon seeing this.
Everyone could tell that Divine Phoenix Island’s successor had a very different attitude towards the Pure Maiden of the fiend sects.
It didn’t seem like he was bewitched by her.
It was impossible that the both of them had a casual relationship – Divine Phoenix Island’s successor was clearly very worried about the Pure Maiden of the fiend sects, worried that she might get injured.
“Humph!”
Flicking his wrist, Shangguan Yu of Cloud Rain Sect opened his folding fan and said in a salty tone, “Demoness Ji, don’t you have any ethics? You even hooked up with the successor of Divine Phoenix Island.”
Demoness Ji ignored everyone’s strange gazes.
She merely pursed her red lips and looked at Su Zimo unblinkingly, as though she was covered in a layer of mist. Softly, she said, “You still want to deny it?”
Her voice was extremely soft such that only the two of them could hear it.
Pulling her behind him, Su Zimo said softly, “Heal your injuries first.”
Demoness Ji smiled.
Warmth flowed through her heart.
Su Zimo’s statement was akin to a silent acknowledgement of her deduction.
Earlier on, when this person came forth and forced Monk Jue Chen back while exposing his back to her, Demoness Ji had already guessed it.
However, she did not dare confirm her guess at that time.
It was only until earlier on when this person appeared again to prevent her from taking lethal damage that Demoness Ji was certain that this was Su Zimo!
She knew in her heart that everything Su Zimo did was because of her sister, Yaoxue.
However, that did not matter to her.
At the very least, there was someone who would trust and protect her unconditionally in this world.
Even if that meant going against all the paragons.
Even if she was the Pure Maiden of the fiend sects.
“Divine Phoenix Island’s successor!”
Sword Sect’s Hang Qiuyu narrowed his eyes and the aura that he was emitting turned sharper and sharper. His entire figure resembled an unsheathed sword and he said slowly, “Good, good! Since you dare to enter the ancient battlefield, don’t dream about leaving it alive!”
Divine Phoenix Island and Sword Sect had a longstanding feud.
Each time a successor of Divine Phoenix Island stepped foot onto Tianhuang Mainland, they would naturally end up in a big fight with the successor of Sword Sect.
“This is a feud between us. Fellow Daoists of the fiend sects, there’s no need for you guys to get involved,”
Cupping his fists towards Pang Yue and the others, Hang Qiuyu said in a low voice.
“Heh!”
Pang Yue retrieved his black iron spear and slung it over his shoulder, laughing. “Well said, well said!”
The fiend sects chose to sit this one out and reap the spoils later. Since there was nothing but benefits for them, this was completely aligned with the thoughts of the fiend heirs.
“Watch out, Hang Qiuyu’s sword is extremely fast. There’s a high possibility that he still has tricks up his sleeves,” Demoness Ji reminded Su Zimo softly.
Laughing, Su Zimo was completely unaffected. Raising his saber, he had no intention of wasting his breath on Hang Qiuyu as he strode over in huge steps. “Sword Sect’s successor? That’s great. I’ll sever your head as a tribute for my saber!”
Dressed in linen clothes with a bared chest and spouting crude statements made Su Zimo seem like an unruly and wild person.
Even Bai Yu lamented to himself that the aura of this person before him was much less dignified compared to that green-robed scholar from before.
Swoosh!
Closing in, Su Zimo’s eyes lit up. The moment he struck, he started with Countercurrent and his saber beam expanded, engulfing Hang Qiuyu entirely.
“Fufu.”
Sneering coldly, Hang Qiuyu’s fingers slid down his sword before flicking the blade.
Buzz!
The sword quivered and let out a clear buzzing sound.
All of a sudden!
Hang Qiuyu attacked; his wrist trembled and the blade was already nowhere to be seen.
Instead, a cold flash arrived and spread out, causing the void to be filled with dense spots of sword lights like raindrops that shot out in all directions.
The place sounded like it was raining.
It was a heavy and intense sound!
“Sword force!”
The eyes of the paragons lit up.
“That’s the secret skill of Sword Sect’s Dao of the sword, Sword Rain Manual! Hang Qiuyu was indeed keeping aces up his sleeves,” Pang Yue nodded his head but was not surprised.
On the one hand, it was the Countercurrent force. On the other hand, it was the Sword Rain force.
Cling! Clang!
After a series of collisions, the saber and sword forces dissipated and both their figures resurfaced once more.
The two of them were in an even standoff!
Although the Countercurrent force was extremely tough, the raindrops produced by the Sword Rain force struck the saber repeatedly, causing the power that was produced to dissipate away.
By the time the saber cut through, almost all of its power was gone.
However, Su Zimo had always had a nagging feeling.
Although he managed to cultivate to the realm of ‘force’ for Countercurrent, he felt that something was lacking in it.
Notwithstanding the fact that Su Zimo was unable to produce the final stance of Sea Calming Manual, he had a feeling that something was lacking while he practiced his first four stances.
He felt that there was a sense of sluggishness when he tried connecting the first four stances.
If he could make up for that tiny flaw, even Hang Qiuyu’s Sword Rain force wouldn’t be able to deal with his Countercurrent!
Chapter 445: Three Great Paragons
The many paragons frowned.
Although it seemed like the clash between the saber and sword was even, in reality, Hang Qiuyu had lost slightly.
Hang Qiuyu’s Startling Sword was a perfect spirit weapon.
Furthermore, to begin with, Hang Qiuyu was at eight meridian Foundation Establishment while the successor of Divine Phoenix Island was only at seven.
It was clear who was better.
“You dare to step foot onto Tianhuang Mainland to stir up trouble with just those capabilities?”
Scoffing coldly, Hang Qiuyu glared at Su Zimo with a provocative gaze as the sword in his hand shimmered faintly in the void.
“This is all I need to suppress you!”
Roaring in laughter, Su Zimo’s bloodline churned and the sound of tsunami rumbled from his body. With a single stride, he appeared before Hang Qiuyu and made a slash!
There were no fancy tricks as he simplified everything with a single slash. Coupled with the terrifying power of his bloodline, his sword beam expanded in a frightening manner as it tore through the void.
Hang Qiuyu channeled his bloodline as well and his eight meridian spirit energy burst forth; he was like an unsheathed blade that fused with his Startling Sword as one.
“Kill!”
Without retreating or dodging, Hang Qiuyu wanted to rely on his advantage in terms of cultivation realm to fight Su Zimo head-on.
In the cultivation world, sword cultivators were acknowledged to be the strongest in terms of offense.
The sword and saber collided in midair.
Sparks flew everywhere as the sword qi and saber beam devoured one another mutually.
The spirit qi between the two of them instantly entered a berserk state, torn into pieces by the sword qi and saber beam.
Hang Qiuyu’s sword was edged and extremely sharp.
On the other hand, Su Zimo’s saber was resolute and majestic!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sword and saber clashed relentlessly in midair.
The saber light was cold and the sword shadows fluttered everywhere in a dizzying manner.
This was a battle of strength without much technique involved!
Su Zimo’s eyes turned brighter as he fought fiercer while laughing into the skies. “Well done, well done! You’re quite capable to be able to withstand ten slashes of mine! Again!”
As though fatigue meant nothing to him, Su Zimo’s strength was increasing instead of decreasing despite that intense clash!
Ta! Ta! Ta!
With every single step he took, the ground would quake once and his aura would climb a step further, causing his sword force to turn stronger.
Every single slash felt like a towering wave that was crashing from above, covering the skies!
Hang Qiuyu was no longer taunting his opponent and looked grim.
His arms were feeling numb and his vision was blurring against the attacks.
Those were signs of fatigue!
This guy’s stamina is like a bottomless pit. Why doesn’t he have any limits?
Hang Qiuyu was secretly shocked.
If this continued, he would show signs of losing within the next ten slashes!
I’ve got to change tactics!
At that thought, a resolute look flickered through Hang Qiuyu’s eyes as he flicked his wrist. Instantly, his sword quivered and burst forth brightly with a sword light in midair.
Spots of lights shot over, shining in a bedazzling manner.
That was a move from the Sword Rain Manual which was used to affect the opponent’s vision using sword light. In fact, it could even blind them momentarily, causing them to reveal fatal openings.
However, it was a pity as a demonic glint flickered through Su Zimo’s eyes. Lightning up, they were like two bright stars in a dark night, completely unaffected as they shimmered deeply.
A single slash cut through, tearing through the light and colliding against the Startling Sword.
Clang!
Hang Qiuyu shuddered and his Startling Sword nearly flew from his hands.
Upon seeing that, Monk Jue Chen who was at the sidelines frowned slightly. “Mad Blade’s vision and hearing are both extremely strong and his mental state is calm as a rock. I couldn’t even affect him despite using my Enraged Diamond Gaze and Lion Roar together.”
The paragons felt their hearts skip a beat!
Everyone thought about how difficult it would be for them if they had to be faced with the Enraged Diamond Gaze and Lion Roar together. Yet, the successor of Divine Phoenix Island was completely unaffected?
“Something is amiss,”
Ao Yuxiao of Purple Firmament Sect had extremely strong vision and he could see the situation clearly. With a grim expression, he remarked suddenly, “Hang Qiuyu’s going to lose.”
On the battlefield.
Hang Qiuyu’s expression was dark as he retreated endlessly – he could retaliate no longer.
On the contrary, Su Zimo’s saber beam was intensifying as he advanced, shrouding Hang Qiuyu within it.
In less than ten moves, a victor would be decided if the battle continued as such!
Pshew!
Suddenly, a shuddering sound tore through the void.
A purple qi flew over.
Seven purple qis tore through the air and combined in the void, forming a gigantic purple long sword with a might so brazen that it was stifling!
Ao Yuxiao of Purple Firmament Sect had struck!
After all, Divine Phoenix Island was alone overseas and rarely appeared on Tianhuang Mainland – their impact on the cultivation world was far inferior compared to Sword Sect.
Furthermore, Sword Sect was one of the nine immortal sects at the end of the day and enjoyed a good relationship with many other sects.
Purple Firmament Sect was one of them.
The purple sword advanced with a torrential power, as though an emperor had descended with a sharp aura. Su Zimo had no choice but to pause in his tracks.
If he continued hunting down Hang Qiuyu, he would definitely be struck by the purple sword and he would be severely injured even if he managed to survive!
Su Zimo’s expression was indifferent, as though he had already predicted this.
Retracting his saber, the direction of his blade steered and released the Vortex stance of the Sea Calming Manual.
A contorting force burst forth from the saber and collided heavily against the purple sword.
Quivering, the purple sword was almost sent flying. Su Zimo’s figure trembled but he maneuvered himself gently with his movement technique and descended on the ground.
With the breathing room, Hang Qiuyu managed to escape and he was drenched in sweat as he panted slightly. Standing beside Ao Yuxiao, they formed a triangular arc to stand-off against Su Zimo.
“This fight is between Divine Phoenix Island and Sword Sect. As one of the nine immortal sects, Purple Firmament Sect isn’t going to respect the laws of the pugilistic world and intends to bully with numbers?”
Demoness Ji was originally recovering from her injuries at the sidelines. However, she could not help but frown when she saw this and questioned loudly.
“Right now, we’re fighting for the Human Emperor’s Palace. There’s no laws of the pugilistic world to speak of,”
Ao Yuxiao was expressionless as he beckoned to retrieve the purple sword in midair. “Since the successor of Divine Phoenix Island dares to step foot onto Tianhuang Mainland, he should be prepared to receive a challenge from the successors of all the major sects!”
“Cut the crap. Since you want to fight, I’ll include you as well!”
Laughing loudly, Su Zimo raised his saber and strode forward. Instantly, his saber beam expanded and engulfed Ao Yuxiao and Hang Qiuyu completely!
He was taking the initiative even in a one against two situation!
The paragons felt their hearts skip a beat!
“Such guts!”
Overlord Palace’s Pang Yue’s eyes shone brightly as he said in a slow manner.
“He has the guts, but we don’t know whether he can survive this,” Shangguan Yu of Cloud Rain Sect sneered.
Zenith Sect’s Bai Yu had a grim expression as he kept his gaze on Su Zimo the entire time in deep thought.
On the battlefield, the sound of tsunami coming forth from Su Zimo’s body rumbled louder and louder, as though thunder was crackling from within. His power of bloodline was shocking and his stamina was enduring.
Even after battling for more than ten rounds, Su Zimo was able to get an advantage in a one versus two situation, suppressing Ao Yuxiao and Hang Qiuyu completely!
The two of them were looking grimmer by the moment.
“Fellow Daoists, do not worry! Here I come!”
Monk Jue Chen who was initially standing by the sidelines watching saw that the situation was not going too well. Wielding his Golden Bell in his left hand and his Diamond Staff in his right, he hollered and joined the battlefield fiercely!
The three of them could practically be considered as the three strongest paragons among the immortal and Buddhist sects!
Chapter 446: All Star Battle, Unparalleled Pride!
The three great paragons of the immortal and Buddhist sects were ganging up on a single person!
If word of this spread to the cultivation world, it would definitely cause an uproar.
“Ah!”
Su Zimo took a deep breath of air and his chest puffed massively. Letting out a long roar, his bloodline expanded and he slashed thrice in succession almost at the same time!
Each slash carried forth a shuddering power shockwave.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The first slash struck the Startling Sword, forcing Hang Qiuyu back.
The second slash struck the purple sword. The purple qi surrounding Ao Yuxiao was linked to it and as such, it shook violently and most of it dissipated.
The final slash struck the Diamond Staff, causing Monk Jue Chen to grunt dully. His expression changed starkly as he staggered in retreat repeatedly!
Su Zimo was fearless against the combined attacks of the three great paragons. Instead, the power he emitted was even more terrifying and his aura was fiercer, as though it could suppress everything!
The three of them were not the only ones shocked; even all the paragons watching were stunned.
How did Divine Phoenix Island create someone like that?
If he was already in possession of such tremendous strength at seven meridian Foundation Establishment, who could stop him if they were all at the same level of eight meridian Foundation Establishment?
There was no wonder why Divine Phoenix Island dared to allow this man into the ancient battlefield. A successor as such was already showing signs of being unstoppable. If nothing went wrong, there was an extremely high chance that he would definitely receive the title of an emperor in the future!
Before many paragons could finish that thought, Su Zimo’s next statement caused a huge stir in everyone’s hearts!
After forcing the three great paragons back with three consecutive slashes, his aura was torrential and he swept his gaze across the paragons like lightning.
Everyone who was here at the Human Emperor’s Palace were all the elites of the super sects and had great pride and ego. Even though Su Zimo was extremely strong and had ferocious methods, none of them would want to admit defeat against him before they fought with him.
All the paragons were raring to give it a shot.
“Well, well, well!”
Nodding his head, Su Zimo’s bloodline surged. His bones and tendons rang together as he declared loudly, “Let’s save the trouble. All of you can come at me together. I’ll deal with all of you at the same time!”
Deal with all of you at the same time... deal with all of you at the same time...
Su Zimo’s voice was like a gigantic bell that rang through the universe, reverberating in everyone’s minds for the longest time!
The moment he said that, everyone present was shocked!
What did that imply?
It meant that he wanted to face all the paragons of the immortal and Buddhist sects singlehandedly!
His pride and guts were extremely rare across history and were comparable to that of an emperor’s!
Overlord Palace’s Pang Yue said slowly, “He’s not called Mad Blade for nothing... he’s truly mad!”
Even Pang Yue could not help but acknowledge his inferiority at that moment.
No matter the outcome of this battle, he wouldn’t have dared to make that bold statement personally.
He was not the only one. All of the paragons, Hang Qiuyu and Ao Yuxiao included, would not dare make a claim as such!
It was complete arrogance that looked down on the immortal and Buddhist sects!
“Steel is easily snapped if it’s too rigid. Does this guy really think of himself as an emperor?”
Cloud Rain Sect’s Shangguan Yu sneered, “Don’t forget that you’re just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator! I don’t believe that Mad Blade will be able to suppress all the paragons of the immortal and Buddhist sects singlehandedly!”
“That’s right.”
The fiend heir of Illusion Fiend Cult nodded in agreement. “Hang Qiuyu and the others definitely have trump cards up their sleeves still. If they fight till the end and piss off all the paragons, causing them to fight with all their might, that man is bound to die!”
...
On the battlefield.
Snowdrift Valley’s Ling Han was the first to step forward as she declared coldly with a frosty expression, “Since you looked down on Snowdrift Valley’s secret skill earlier on, I’ll come and take you on!”
“If that’s the case, I, Chen Yizi of Chaos Essence Sect, wants to have a taste of Divine Phoenix Island’s ultimate moves as well!”
Another paragon stood forth together with Hang Qiuyu and the others.
Right after, another paragon leaped forward onto the battlefield, saying in a low voice, “I’m from Zephyr Thunder Palace...”
“Stop talking,”
Su Zimo raised his hand and interrupted impatiently before continuing indifferently, “If you want to fight, fight. I’m not interested in knowing more.”
“You... ”
Zephyr Thunder Palace’s successor’s face was black after being cut as he grit his teeth angrily.
In the blink of an eye, Hang Qiuyu’s group of three, Snowdrift Valley’s Ling Han, Chaos Essence Sect’s Chen Yizi, Zephyr Thunder Palace’s successor, Clear Wind Temple’s successor, Formless Monastery’s successor and Wisdom Monastery’s successor arrived on the battlefield.
The nine paragons looked unfriendly as they moved slowly, surrounding Su Zimo in the middle!
Demoness Ji was instantly panicked when she saw that. Looking at the fiend heirs around her, she asked with a frown, “Are you guys just going to stand by and watch? If Mad Blade loses, the successors of the immortal and Buddhist sects are going to turn their attention to us and we of the fiend sects are still going to be disadvantaged!”
“Hehe, he asked for this,”
Cloud Rain Sect’s Shangguan Yu laughed. “Furthermore, who knows? Perhaps this fellow Daoist of Divine Phoenix Island might be able to take down all nine paragons singlehandedly, gaining fame after this single battle!”
Pang Yue and the others were calm – clearly, they had no intention of stepping in.
There was naturally no way they would make a move before determining if the situation was in their favor.
Zenith Sect’s Bai Yu had a sinister expression. Suddenly, he said in an ambiguous manner, “If I step in, there’s no guarantee whose side I’ll be on!”
Because the battle had already started, Demoness Ji did not pay attention to the deeper meaning behind Bai Yu’s words.
“Since there’s so much hype, count me in!”
Chuckling lightly with a faked composure, Demoness Ji chose to join the battlefield.
Given her strength, the most she could do was hold off a single paragon to take some of the pressure off Su Zimo’s shoulders.
However, he still had to face eight paragons all by himself!
Snowdrift Valley’s Ling Han furrowed her brows and broke out of the battle to hold off Demoness Ji. The two beauties brought their battle to a corner, fighting in a graceful and stunning manner.
Although this was the first time they joined forces, the eight paragons had a chemistry in their coordination.
Sword Sect’s Hang Qiuyu and Diamond Monastery’s Monk Jue Chen joined hands to fight Su Zimo in melee combat.
The other six paragons kept their distance from Su Zimo, making use of their spirit weapons and arts to summon a flurry of attacks as spirit light and sword qi streaked through and filled the skies.
Bang! Bang!
Su Zimo slashed twice in succession, colliding heavily against the Startling Sword and the Diamond Staff.
Hang Qiuyu and Monk Jue Chen shuddered, retreating half a step back.
However, Su Zimo made use of that rebound power to stomp on the ground before leaping backwards. His body was almost stuck to the ground as he evaded many spirit weapons and arts by a shave.
Ao Yuxiao was calm when he saw Su Zimo approaching him. Riding on his flying sword, he retreated swiftly to keep his distance.
Chaos Essence Sect’s Chen Yizi’s eyes flickered brightly. “That person is at the realm of tsunami blood and his physique and melee combat strength is terrifying. Everyone, there’s no need to fight him head-on. As long as we keep our distance, we can definitely wear him out!”
The paragons present were long prepared and they supported one another. Coupled with the fact that there were eight of them, there was naturally no way they would allow Su Zimo to close in.
The moment Su Zimo charged towards one of them, the other seven would attack to block his path forward.
Hang Qiuyu and Monk Jue Chen were like cockroaches, chasing forward to embroil Su Zimo in battle.
The spirit qi on the battlefield was already boiling long ago!
The eight paragons combined forces and their figures intertwined and shifted repeatedly, restricting Su Zimo to his position.
Even so, the waves of attacks that were produced by the eight of them were still unable to break through Su Zimo’s defense – he was blocking everything with his saber!
As time passed by, the eight paragons felt increasingly alarmed and their killing intents intensified!
All eight of them professed internally that if they were in Su Zimo’s position, they would not last more than ten breaths against such attacks!
Even if they could defend all the attacks, it would take too much of a toll on them.
Even Golden Cores might not be able to endure through it.
However, 15 minutes had already passed by now.
Not only was the successor of Divine Phoenix Island feeling no fatigue, the battle intent in his eyes was intensifying and his gaze shone brighter – his entire aura was on a continuous rise!
If this continued on, the outcome would be unpredictable!
Chapter 447: Raging Tides, Faint Killing Intent!
It was a shocking battle.
On the battlefield, spirit light filled the skies and sword qi intertwined with the saber beam as spirit energy surged. With each collision, a blinding light would shoot forth and fill the nine heavens with a deafening boom!
There were still some cultivators who were more gutsy and remained to watch the battle beneath the Human Emperor’s Palace from afar.
Because they were too far away, all of them could not make out the appearances of the paragons.
However, they could still make out a mighty figure streaking through the battlefield against all odds. Although he was surrounded by eight paragons, he was not nervous in the slightest bit!
It did not matter how famous or bedazzling Sword Sect’s Hang Qiuyu and Purple Firmament Sect’s Ao Yuxiao were prior to this. At this moment, in the face of Divine Phoenix Island’s successor, they seemed so lackluster.
That was a true paragon!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Clashing sounds echoed repeatedly from the battlefield.
Despite the fact that he was fighting one against eight, Su Zimo was getting fiercer and he was even showing signs of turning the tides as he shrouded all eight paragons!
With his immortality and demonic cultivation, coupled with the fact that he had cultivated to the legendary tsunami blood realm, he had a strong physique and terrifying stamina – he was confident that he could overwhelm any strong foes at the realm of Foundation Establishment.
He used his full strength with every strength, swinging widely like a supreme emperor that could sweep through the nine heavens with an invincible might, looking down on everything!
Even the Sealers that were watching from outside the Human Emperor’s Palace were stunned, let alone the cultivators who were watching from afar.
He was way too strong!
Apart from Su Zimo’s terrifying strength, his stamina was limitless like a bottomless pit!
It was extremely frightening!
To think that Divine Phoenix Island would have produced such an amazing monster with unparalleled potential!
The Sealers were expressionless as they exchanged glances – all of them could make out fleeting killing intents in the other’s eyes.
If this person was already producing such an invincible aura at such a young age, who could stop him in the future?
They had to murder this talent!
At that moment, all the Sealers had the same thought.
However, they were Sealers after all and the moment they attacked would be the moment they died – unless they had no other choice, they wouldn’t attack recklessly.
...
On the battlefield.
The eight paragons were no longer as nimble as before.
Monk Jue Chen had minor injuries to begin with. After clashing head-on with Su Zimo, he triggered his internal injuries once more and he looked terrible; there was even a faint blood stench when he panted!
His internal organs were already shaken!
Su Zimo was equally lively with a raring fighting intent.
If the battle carried on as such, Monk Jue Chen’s organs would be ruptured and he would die before Su Zimo was even exhausted!
The other paragons were starting to look pale and panted as well.
Suddenly, Sword Sect’s Hang Qiuyu shouted, “Fellow Daoists of the fiend sects, only one of us can obtain the Human Emperor’s Palace’s inheritance! Look at how strong this guy is! If you guys don’t start attacking, by the time we fall, all of you from the fiend sects are going to be suppressed too!”
The cultivators who were watching from afar were stunned and shocked when they heard that.
If the fiend heirs were to take part in the fight, it would mean that the paragons of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects would be ganging up on a cultivator of the same cultivation realm!
Even ancient emperors would not have been treated the same way!
The few fiend heirs had conflicting expressions.
However, in their opinions, Hang Qiuyu’s words made sense as well.
Once the paragons of the immortal and Buddhist sects fall, the few of them won’t be a match for that person.
There was a high chance that he would be the one to obtain the Human Emperor’s Palace’s inheritance!
Overlord Palace’s Pang Yue loved to fight to begin with. Upon encountering someone as strong as Su Zimo, he was naturally raring to fight and wanted to join the battlefield.
At that thought, the few fiend heirs were tempted but they were still hesitant.
Among them, there was only a single person who made his decision.
It was Bai Yu, the fiend heir of Zenith Sect!
He had a feeling that the successor of Divine Phoenix Island definitely had something to do with the green-robed cultivator!
Suddenly, a roar sounded from the battlefield.
“Raging Tides!”
His words were accompanied by a deafening boom, as if a massive tide had crashed onto the shore in a terrifying manner!
In the center of the battlefield, Su Zimo wielded his saber and spun a circle in midair. Massive tides seemed to form everywhere his saber sliced, surging towards the eight paragons in a ferocious manner!
Saber force!
Against the combined attacks of eight paragons from the immortal and Buddhist sects, the unprecedented pressure had finally allowed Su Zimo to comprehend the Raging Tides stance of the Sea Calming Manual!
Countercurrent was the toughest saber technique to target a single cultivator with.
However, Raging Tides was suited for dealing with opponents in all directions!
With that slash, raging tides were formed, roaring and threatening to drown everything, destroying the eight desolates!
At this point of the battle, Su Zimo burst forth with a massive counterattack and the raging tides rumbled, engulfing the eight paragons into the series of saber forces!
Instantly, all eight paragons were on the brink of danger!
“That’s enough!”
Suddenly, Hang Qiuyu’s cold voice that was filled with killing intent could be heard from the flurry of saber forces.
“Break it!”
Hollering, he slapped his storage bag and a silver circlet flew out, hovering in midair before bursting with a blinding radiance!
One, two... six spirit patterns!
It was a connate spirit weapon!
The fact that a connate spirit weapon was given to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was evident of how much Hang Qiuyu was valued in Sword Sect!
This was his final trump card. Initially, he had intended to keep it until the final fight for the Human Emperor’s Palace’s inheritance to suppress everyone.
But given the current circumstances, he had no choice but to use it in advance!
“Purple Firmament Slash!”
Against Raging Tides, Ao Yuxiao could not hide any longer as well as he conjured a hand seal, releasing a secret skill of Purple Firmament Sect.
Shrouded by purple qi, an extremely sharp purple sword was condensed in midair before slicing the incoming Raging Tides fiercely!
“Indestructible Diamond,”
Monk Jue Chen’s hands were shifting continuously as he conjured a hand seal of the Buddhist sects while chanting obscure scriptures. Instantly, his body seemed as though it was covered by a layer of saintly glow that illuminated brightly!
Against the raging tides, Monk Jue Chen was calm like a Vajra of the Buddhist sects. His eyes were closed and he was unmoved even as the wave washed over him.
The three of them were not the only ones; the other five paragons released their final trump cards one after another as well.
Some of them brought out perfect-grade defensive spirit weapons, some of them crushed protection talismans with resplendent patterns and others released ultimate secret skills of their sects – they were all proving their capabilities!
Almost at the same time, Zenith Sect’s Bai Yu’s figure flashed as he wielded a spirit saber and charged towards Su Zimo’s back with a torrential killing intent.
“Bai Yu, you...”
Demoness Ji exclaimed when she saw that, wanting to strike and force back Bai Yu.
However, Snowdrift Valley’s Ling Han’s flying sword was moving swifter and swifter, restricting Demoness Ji to the spot such that she was unable to break free.
The situation on the battlefield was shifting rapidly and Su Zimo’s Raging Tides expanded widely, looking as though it was about to defeat the eight paragons soon.
Yet, all eight of them released their trump cards unexpectedly and withstood Raging Tides head-on!
Furthermore, Hang Qiuyu and Ao Yuxiao managed to counter attack and a connate spirit weapon was even brought out!
Between the saber and sword flashes, an imperceptible figure appeared without warning like a ghost, creeping towards Su Zimo...
There was a faint killing intent that appeared!
Chapter 448: Trying to Escape?
“Zenith Sect’s Bai Yu?”
When he saw Bai Yu charging over from the sides, Su Zimo already realized that his identity was being suspected!
At that thought, Su Zimo’s killing intent rose massively as well!
All of a sudden!
An unprecedented sense of danger surged into his heart.
Su Zimo’s hairs stood on end and his scalp prickled.
The feeling of danger did not come from Hang Qiuyu, Ao Yuxiao, any of the eight paragons or Zenith Sect’s Bai Yu who was charging towards him from behind – it was someone else!
It was someone that Su Zimo could not see with his eyes.
However, his keen spirit perception gained from cultivating the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness informed him that an extremely scary cultivator was hidden in a corner, waiting to deal him a fatal blow!
The attacker’s angle could be considered as perfect as it was in Su Zimo’s blind spot.
The timing of the attack was also perfect without any flaws at all!
At that moment, Su Zimo had just released Raging Tides and was in the weakest state as he was recovering from the momentum of his action.
Furthermore, the eight paragons had just released their trump cards and Hang Qiuyu and Ao Yuxiao were counterattacking; a connate spirit weapon was even brought out.
Coupled with the fact that Bai Yu was arriving from the back, Su Zimo was already cornered by enemies on all fronts!
Given those circumstances, the unknown cultivator’s attack was a complete deadlock for Su Zimo such that it would be difficult even for deities to save him!
Suddenly, a vague, blurry figure flashed through Su Zimo’s mind.
It wasn’t because his memory was bad. Instead, nobody had seen that person’s appearance before.
It was the Thousand-faced Assassin of Hidden Death Sect!
Prior to this, that killer from the fiend sects had not made his appearance.
Now that he attacked, he was aiming for Su Zimo’s life!
“It’s him!”
A few Sealers close to the Human Emperor’s Palace narrowed their gazes and exclaimed.
One of the Sealers shook his head. “It’s over. That lad’s a dead man now.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
To them, there was no way Su Zimo would be able to reverse this deadly situation given his abilities!
“What a pity. Even a paragon as such has to die at the Human Emperor’s Palace.”
“There’s nothing to be pitied about. Throughout history, there have been countless paragons who suffered early deaths. He’s merely one of them.”
...
Suddenly, the tides changed on the battlefield!
The eight paragons released their skills respectively and six of them defended against Raging Tides while Hang Qiuyu and Ao Yuxiao counterattacked!
A purple beam tore through the layers of tides and slashed towards Su Zimo.
With a calm expression, Su Zimo spun his saber and slashed forward, intending to make use of his power of bloodline to fight Purple Firmament Sect’s secret skill head-on.
Buzz! Buzz!
Suddenly, a silver circlet tore through the air and buzzed while quivering.
Six blinding spirit lights shone like a blazing sun, emitting a terrifying aura.
Clang!
The silver circlet collided against the saber.
Su Zimo shuddered.
With a creak, cracks started appearing on the blade and it exploded!
Destroyed!
A supreme-grade spirit weapon was destroyed just like that!
That was how terrifying connate spirit weapons were!
After circling in midair, the silver circlet reversed towards Su Zimo again!
At the same time, Ao Yuxiao’s Purple Firmament Slash descended.
Arriving at the back, Bai Yu’s Zenith Saber slashed out at a sinister angle with a nauseating blood stench; the sounds of ghosts howling could be heard vaguely.
Saber force!
After losing to Su Zimo the previous time round, Bai Yu managed a breakthrough as well and comprehended a saber force of the Zenith Saber!
Three ultimate killing moves descended at the same time!
At the exact moment, an imperceptible figure appeared, wielding a long, slender sword that was as thin as cicada wings.
The person’s appearance was ordinary and his eyes were listless like a dead fish. The killing intent that he possessed was completely innate but his sword was aimed at the back of Su Zimo’s head and was almost instantaneous!
The destruction of the spirit saber made the situation even worse.
Su Zimo was barehanded and had nowhere to retreat now!
Upon seeing that, Snowdrift Valley’s Ling Han and Demoness Ji stopped in their tracks instinctively.
“Ah!”
Blood drained from Demoness Ji’s face as she exclaimed. A deafening sound rang in her mind and it went blank, as if someone had gripped her heart and stopped it from beating.
All of a sudden!
“Battle!”
A holler that sounded like thunder booming tore through metal and stone while quaking one’s mind!
In reality, that was Su Zimo’s Thunderclap Kill.
However, in order to hide his identity, he changed the word from ‘kill’ to ‘battle’ without diminishing its strength.
Even the cultivators who were watching from afar were so shocked that they shuddered in fear.
They could not imagine how the four paragons closest to Su Zimo in the center of the battlefield were going to endure that terrifying blow!
The four of them winced in pain at the same time.
Be it the Purple Firmament Slash, Hang Qiuyu’s connate spirit weapon, Bai Yu’s Zenith Saber or the Thousand-faced Assassin’s slender sword, everything paused for a brief moment.
That momentary pause was Su Zimo’s chance!
Crackle!
Leaping upwards, his tendons and bones sounded at the same time and his entire body crumpled into a ball.
The burly man that was initially two meters tall turned into a meatball the size of an infant right in front of everyone!
While his methods may seem ordinary if they were performed by an ancient mighty figure or patriarch, the fact that a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was doing it was unbelievable!
His move, coupled with the burst of Thunderclap Kill, caused the attacks of the four paragons to miss!
Not only that, Hang Qiuyu’s connate spirit weapon was even repelled towards Bai Yu.
Ao Yuxiao’s Purple Firmament Slash landed in front of the Thousand-faced Assassin.
Clang!
Bai Yu shuddered and blood oozed from the corner of his lips.
The power of a connate spirit weapon was not something that everyone could withstand.
The Thousand-faced Assassin managed to retract his sword in time and made a decisive move to retreat swiftly after blocking the Purple Firmament Slash by making use of its momentum.
After missing his attack, he fled a thousand miles away.
Swoosh!
A shuddering aura suddenly burst forth from within Su Zimo’s body!
It was as though a seal was undone, releasing a frightening fiendcelestial!
“Roar!”
“GRAWR!”
“Screech!”
A series of strange sounds echoed from within Su Zimo’s body – there was a dragon’s roar, a tiger’s howl, a horse’s neigh, a phoenix’s cry...
Scarlet demonic qi burst forth and covered the skies!
The infant-sized meatball disappeared and in its place was a mighty figure that could faintly be seen as it was shrouded in thick demonic qi. A pair of ink-black eyes shone forth with a frightening shimmer.
It was cold, sinister and filled with endless killing intent!
Psst!
The paragons, Sealers and cultivators watching from afar were shocked and gasped!
Hang Qiuyu and the other three shuddered.
In that instant, they had an illusion that the ‘human’ before them who was surrounded by demonic qi seemed like he was about to devour them alive!
“You guys really think that you can kill me with your skills?”
In that endless scarlet demonic qi, Su Zimo’s voice sounded, sending chills down everyone’s spine as though he came from the primordial era where thousands of races stood mightily amidst torrential blood qi.
Invoking his blood qi, Su Zimo took on his demon form, causing his strength and speed to explode!
“You’re still trying to escape?”
Suddenly, Su Zimo’s voice sounded in the Thousand-faced Assassin’s ears – it was sinister and right beside him!
Chapter 449: Kill!
As if a figure was shifting in front of him, the Thousand-faced Assassin paused in his tracks hurriedly.
Unknowingly, Su Zimo had already arrived before him with an imposing aura, blocking his escape path!
It was too fast!
Even with the Thousand-faced Assassin’s calm personality, at that moment, he felt a series of chills. His expression changed slightly and his dead fish eyes flickered with a hint of panic.
A mighty and tall figure stood up slowly from the ground, surrounded by rumbling demonic qi. The illusion of a malefic ancient demon was formed, baring its teeth and claws in a menacing, life-like manner!
It was as though countless stars were revolving around a moon, shrouding the gigantic ancient demon in the center – Su Zimo’s eyes were deep and pitch-black as he looked down at the Thousand-faced Assassin.
It was a cold, taunting gaze.
It was the same way an emperor was looking at an ant that was struggling to escape!
Psst!
Instantly, the Thousand-faced Assassin’s heart skipped a beat and he felt chills run down his spine.
The next moment, Su Zimo suddenly reached out with his gigantic palm that covered the skies, grabbing at the Thousand-faced Assassin’s head with a torrential aura.
The Thousand-faced Assassin was extremely swift to react and he raised his sword while crushing a protection talisman at the same time. The blade of his sword quivered like a snake, emitting a sinister and chilling aura.
To him, no matter what, Su Zimo was fighting barehanded after all.
There was no way a person’s body could defend against the sharpness of a spirit weapon!
All of a sudden!
The Thousand-faced Assassin’s pupils constricted.
From the massive palm that was shrouded over his head, dagger-like fingernails suddenly shot out from its fingers, shimmering coldly like swords and sabers!
Those fingernails looked like the claws of an ancient demon that were indestructible!
In the blink of an eye, five fingernails struck the Thousand-faced Assassin’s thin sword.
Buzz!
As though it was coiled by a venomous viper, the Thousand-faced Assassin’s sword struggled repeatedly but it could not break free and could only buzz and tremble.
With a snap, the sword shattered!
There was a commotion.
A supreme-grade spirit weapon was crushed by Su Zimo’s bare hands, turning into dim shards that scattered onto the ground near to the Thousand-faced Assassin’s feet.
The next moment, the Thousand-faced Assassin’s vision darkened and he lost consciousness.
His protection talisman was as fragile as tofu against Su Zimo’s hand.
The five fingernails pierced the barrier produced by the protection talisman instantly and landed on the Thousand-faced Assassin’s head with a dull sound.
By the time Su Zimo retracted his hand, there were five bloodied holes on the Thousand-faced Assassin’s head, oozing out with a white, gooey liquid.
The Thousand-faced Assassin’s dead fish eyes no longer lit up as he collapsed while standing upright, his life snapped away.
The fiend heir of Hidden Death Sect was killed right beneath the Human Emperor’s Palace!
Everything went silent.
A paragon had just died.
It did not matter how strong or how glorious the Thousand-faced Assassin was prior to this. At this moment, he was no different from one of the lifeless corpses under the Human Emperor’s Palace.
The heavens are often jealous of those who are talented.
Since they were the objects of jealousy, they would often encounter ordeals unimaginable by the ordinary cultivator.
At the end of the day, talents that fall are eventually forgotten by the masses.
Not every sect among the major factions of Tianhuang Mainland sent in Sealers.
Poison Sect, the fiend sects’ Pure Maiden Sect and Hidden Death Sect did not send in Sealers.
To Hidden Death Sect, the Thousand-faced Assassin would definitely be able to roam freely and undefeated across the ancient battlefield. Even if he failed in his assassinations, he could flee far away.
Throughout history, there had been fiend heirs of Hidden Death Sect who have failed in the ancient battlefield, but there was never one that was killed.
Right now, there was no Sealer from Hidden Death Sect to take revenge for the death of the Thousand-faced Assassin.
Su Zimo did not stop after killing the Thousand-faced Assassin. Taking huge strides, he arrived before Zenith Sect’s Bai Yu in the blink of an eye and smiled sinisterly with a cruel glint.
This is bad. He wants to silence me!
Bai Yu was scared out of his wits as his blood flowed so quickly that his heart almost exploded!
When Su Zimo shrank into a meatball earlier to avoid the four killing moves, Bai Yu’s questions were all answered.
If one could shrink to that state, wouldn’t it be extremely easy for this person to change his figure and alter his appearance?
Despite the fact that he was faced with eight other paragons, this person ignored them and rushed right in front of him.
Bai Yu was even more certain now that this was the green-robed cultivator!
As the fiend heir of Zenith Sect, Bai Yu was able to compose himself instantly and swung his Zenith Saber, slashing towards the incoming Su Zimo while yelling, “You are...”
“Battle!”
Before Bai Yu could complete his sentence, Su Zimo roared.
The distance between them was too close.
Bai Yu shuddered violently and he swallowed his words back from the shock. He lost his hearing and blood oozed out from his ears – the pain was so bad that his features were all contorted!
Using his palm like a cleaver, Su Zimo chopped down on the wrist that Bai Yu was wielding his saber with.
Snap!
The sound of bones cracking rang out and his wrist was snapped.
Sneering, Su Zimo closed in and reached out, grabbing Bai Yu by the throat and lifting the latter up.
Wringing his arm, he gripped Bai Yu’s throat violently and shook.
Crackle!
Accompanied by a crisp sound, Bai Yu’s skeleton was shaken out of position by Su Zimo – even if he had immense strength, he wouldn’t be able to use a single bit at this moment.
Bai Yu’s entire body was flaying limply as Su Zimo lifted him up.
Because he was choked by the throat, his entire face was bloated and purplish such that he couldn’t speak at all.
“How dare you!”
“Stop!”
“Don’t!”
The first statement came from a blood-robed old man who was watching from afar – he was Zenith Sect’s Sealer.
The second statement came from the few fiend heirs.
The third statement came from Demoness Ji.
“Zenith Sect’s Sealer is already rushing over. If you kill him, the Sealer will definitely attack you using his strength as a Golden Core. D-Don’t be reckless!”
Demoness Ji tried persuading anxiously.
Su Zimo said nothing and merely shook his head.
Notwithstanding the fact that Bai Yu attacked him multiple times, the fact that Bai Yu knew his identity meant that Su Zimo could not let this guy survive!
Demoness Ji’s heart sank in dread.
“Junior, if you dare kill him, I’ll make sure you are buried with him!”
Not far away, the blood-robed old man sped over while yelling. His killing intent was surging, as though a hurricane of blood was forming!
Su Zimo was unmoved despite hearing that as he merely looked at the old man coldly.
On the other side, Overlord Palace’s Pang Yue shouted grimly, “Mad Blade, let him go! Otherwise, you will be going against the fiend sects and will be forcing us to attack!”
“Hahahaha!”
When he heard that, Su Zimo looked up into the skies and roared in laughter. Looking at everyone with a condescending manner, he hollered, “The fiend sects are allowed to attack me but I’m not allowed to kill in return? Do you really think that makes sense?”
The fiend heirs went silent.
“To begin with, you guys wanted to join forces with the immortal and Buddhist sects. But now, you’re just forcefully looking for an excuse,”
Su Zimo sneered, “How hypocritical!”
Pang Yue’s eyes flickered – clearly, Su Zimo was spot on.
If not for the fact that it was the Human Emperor’s Palace that was before them, given the pride of the fiend sects, they would definitely not join forces with the immortal and Buddhist sects.
However, that was the inheritance of the Human Emperor!
How could anyone in the world not be tempted?
The combat strength that Su Zimo displayed was way too terrifying and they had no other choice but to join forces to take him down!
At that moment, Su Zimo’s cold voice sounded as he said everything word by word, “Since that’s the case, I’ll give you guys a reason to attack.”
Snap!
Exerting force in his palm, Su Zimo crushed Bai Yu’s throat instantly.
The fiend heir of Zenith Sect was dead!
Chapter 450: Suppressing Everyone!
Bai Yu’s death caused the vicinity of the Human Emperor’s Palace to descend into a grim silence.
The cultivators who were watching afar were shocked as they looked at everything in disbelief.
He was way too savage!
That man did not even care about the threat of a Sealer.
Even though he had already offended the immortal and Buddhist sects, the successor of Divine Phoenix Island was still brazen and decisive in his kills, taking down two fiend heirs with utter dominance!
When he said that he was going to give them a reason to attack, it meant that he did not fear the combined attacks of all the paragons from the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects!
Emperors were the strongest existences in Tianhuang Mainland and had extraordinary bearings. Every single cultivator that was present right now, including the Sealers, did not have the chance to come across an emperor before.
However, at this moment, the same thought flashed through everyone’s minds.
Back when the emperors were at Foundation Establishment realm, this... should be how they were like.
It’s over!
Her heart sank.
With Bai Yu’s death, there was now no way back and Su Zimo was about to face an enraged Sealer!
Although he was close to the end of his life, he was still a Golden Core after all!
The many paragons of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects looked at Su Zimo as though they were looking at a dead man. Their gazes were filled with mockery and pity.
There was no longer a need for them to make a move. Zenith Sect’s Sealer who had just entered the battlefield was more than enough to kill Su Zimo!
Su Zimo’s expression was unchanged as he looked at the incoming blood-robed old man. The scarlet demonic qi that was surrounding him did not diminish and his eyes shone fiercely.
“I don’t care what you are,”
The blood-robed old man glared at Su Zimo with a heavy killing intent as his aura climbed. “I’m going to kill you right now!”
Before he was finished with his statement, a saber appeared in the blood-robed old man’s hand.
Swash!
Although it was only a supreme-grade spirit weapon, coupled with the strength of a Golden Core, a torrential saber beam filled with blood qi arrived before Su Zimo instantly.
“Ow...”
The sounds of ghosts wailing could be heard.
It was as though a chilling mountain of corpses and a sea of blood had appeared right in front of Su Zimo!
The next moment, to everyone’s shock, Su Zimo actually took a step forward! Gripping his right fist, he punched fiercely towards the incoming saber!
“He truly doesn’t know his limits.”
“There’s no choice. There’s no time for him to retreat anyways. He might as well meet the attack and die a slightly more dignified death.”
The paragons sneered.
Demoness Ji turned her head away, as though she could not bear to continue watching.
Boom!
The fist and saber collided, letting out a resounding bang.
Everyone was rooted on the spot as they looked at what happened in absolute disbelief.
The bloody scene that everyone imagined did not play out.
Su Zimo’s right fist was not cut into two after meeting with the slash!
After a short pause, Su Zimo let out a dull grunt and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was sent flying and landed on the ground far away, standing motionlessly as the scarlet demonic qi around his dissipated gradually.
At the same time, a few ghastly cracks appeared behind the blood-robed old man. It was as though the void was being ripped apart as a chilling wind gusted!
The dimensional tear!
The blood-robed old man’s eyes dimmed.
That was the fate of a Sealer.
Since they broke the rules of the ancient battlefield, they had to be punished.
However, he had no regrets since he was able to kill Su Zimo.
Although Su Zimo managed to defend against the sharpness of the spirit saber, the blood-robed old man believed that there was no way a seven meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator could withstand the strength of a Golden Core!
A powerful suction power arrived.
The blood-robed old man was pulled into the dimensional tear uncontrollably and blood scars appeared on his face – he was about to be shredded by the dimension.
All of a sudden!
Su Zimo who was initially sprawled on the ground moved, coughed and rose!
“Mmm?”
He was not dead?
The blood-robed old man was agitated and his eyes were filled with indignance. His mouth was open, as though he wanted to say something.
The next moment, with a bang, he vanished entirely, turning into a mist of blood with no corpse left!
A moment later, the tears in the void closed gradually.
“Divine Phoenix Island’s Mad Blade is truly frightening! Even the full attack of a Sealer couldn’t kill him!”
“I think he’s not far from death anyways. I reckon that his organs should be ruptured and he shouldn’t have long to live.”
“How did he manage to defend against that attack barehanded?”
“I’m not sure.”
If Su Zimo was using any defensive spirit weapon, his palm would have shone with the light of its spirit patterns.
However, when both parties clashed, everyone saw that Su Zimo was barehanded.
The reason why he could defend against the Golden Core’s saber was due to his blood bone palm.
If he had received the attack with his left hand, Su Zimo’s left arm would be crippled after the slash!
However, although the blood bone palm could defend against the sharpness of the spirit weapon, it could not block out the power of a Golden Core completely.
That sort of power was annihilating for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
However, Su Zimo’s physique was way too strong and his regeneration capabilities were shocking!
He had a body that was even more terrifying than pure-blooded ferocious beasts!
Although his organs were shaken and he spat out a mouthful of blood, Su Zimo’s injuries were already mostly recovered within a couple of breaths.
A mere Sealer was not enough to injure Sealer’s foundation!
The sound of footsteps rustled as multiple figures grouped up around Su Zimo once more.
This time round, other than the eight paragons of the immortal and Buddhist sects, even the remaining three fiend heirs of the fiend sects had closed in. All of them glared at Su Zimo coldly, whipping out their weapons with killing intents on their faces.
Apart from Demoness Ji, all the paragons were prepared to join forces to kill Su Zimo!
They wanted to take his life while he was at his weakest!
However, all the paragons were wrong about one thing.
Su Zimo was not as severely injured as they had imagined.
That minor injury was almost negligible for him.
Furthermore, the attack of the Sealer coupled with the alliance of the paragons of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects had thoroughly invoked Su Zimo’s feral instinct!
There was no such thing as fairness in the cultivation world.
The paragons of the major sects had formed an alliance and many of them had Sealers of their sects backing them. However, Su Zimo was alone without any help or Sealer to protect him.
Yet, the more that was the case, the more he wanted to fight!
He believed that what Die Yue imparted him was not inferior to the secret skills of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects!
He believed that even if the paragons joined forces, they wouldn’t be able to take him down!
He believed that even without the backing of a major sect, he could break through everything and reach the peak!
“Fufufufu!”
Su Zimo laughed and surveyed his surroundings with a torrential battle intent. His eyes were filled with a demonic glint as he said slowly, “Well, well, well! Since you guys want to join forces, I’ll have to suppress all of you!”
“Rubbish!”
Sword Sect’s Hang Qiuyu sneered, “Mad Blade, there’s no need for you to put on a front! I don’t believe you still have the strength to fight after receiving the full attack of a Sealer!”
Cloud Rain Sect’s Shangguan Yu opened his folding fan and said sinisterly, “Mad Blade, you’re a demon! Even if the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects join hands, we’re working together to take down a variant race and exact justice for the heavens!”
“That’s right!”
Ao Yuxiao said grimly, “Since we’re not of the same race, you definitely harbor evil intents. A beast like you is something that’s ought to be killed!”
