Chapter 1979: Sword Art
Translator: Legge
The skinny old man was backed by Prince Yuan Zuo and the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.
Nobody could challenge the might of an Immortal Kingdom!
Many cultivators did not even dare to think about it, let alone kill so decisively!
“H-How dare you!”
A cultivator pointed at Su Zimo with a shocked expression.
Poof!
Right then, another strange sound came from the side.
Everyone looked over and could not help but gasp.
Not far away, a half-moon fingernail scar appeared on the fat old man’s glabella and a scarlet blood scar gradually seeped out!
The fat old man’s gaze dimmed and his lifeforce deteriorated rapidly—he could no longer survive.
It was a symbol of the annihilation of one’s Essence Spirit!
“Who did it?”
Many cultivators were shocked and retreated, leaving only the corpses of the fat and skinny old men on the spot.
Everyone’s attention was on Su Zimo earlier on and they were certain that he did not attack after killing the skinny old man.
Then, who killed this person?
That was the scary part.
Someone had died in front of everyone without anyone noticing who it was!
Su Zimo’s expression was calm.
Others might not have noticed it, but he could.
Among everyone present, Tang Ziyi was the only one who could kill the fat old man without anyone knowing!
Tang Ziyi’s timing was almost perfect and flawless.
At that time, the skinny old man was killed by Su Zimo and caused an uproar. Almost everyone’s attention was on Su Zimo.
The fat old man had not expected that there would be another person who would dare attack him right beside him!
Without any unnecessary movements, it was also a one-hit kill.
Even till his death, the fat old man did not see who attacked.
Actually, even if he did not die and successfully released his Essence Spirit secret skill, he would not be a threat to Su Zimo.
Su Zimo’s Essence Spirit had long broken through to the Earth Essence realm and surpassed the two of them.
Furthermore, his Essence Spirit was protected by the Creation Lotus Platform and could not be injured unless one’s cultivation realm was much higher!
Of course, Tang Ziyi’s attack saved him some trouble.
Although there were many cultivators present, there were few who truly saw what happened.
Not far away, Yun Ting smiled. “That man and woman sure are bold. They probably won’t be able to live for long after killing the servants of Prince Yuan Zuo.”
“Since Prince Yuan Zuo isn’t here, he shouldn’t know about this, right?”
A cultivator was puzzled.
Yun Ting said, “There’s no need for Prince Yuan Zuo to attack. These two old men represent the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and that’s the only thing the other sects and factions are wary of.”
“Now that the two of them are dead, the other factions no longer have any reservations. In fact, they can even kill the two of them and snatch the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng with the excuse of purging traitors for the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.”
Right then, Fang Xuan suddenly declared from the other side, “The person who killed the Exalted Immortal of the Immortal Kingdom was the purple-robed woman among you!”
Su Zimo frowned slightly and looked at Fang Xuan.
Fang Xuan was fearless and raised his head slightly with a provocative smile. He even extended his palm and slashed horizontally across his throat, making a beheading gesture!
Tang Ziyi glanced at Fang Xuan as well but retracted her gaze quickly.
Even if she had killing intent or thoughts, she would not reveal them.
“It was you?”
Jian Yu and the others retreated and distanced themselves from Tang Ziyi with wary expressions.
Since her tracks were exposed, Tang Ziyi no longer hid. Without saying anything, she walked straight to the fat old man’s corpse and removed his storage bag to search.
At the same time, Su Zimo took the skinny old man’s storage bag and searched it.
Before long, he found a teleportation talisman in the skinny old man’s storage bag.
He put away the talisman and looked at Tang Ziyi at the same time.
Tang Ziyi happened to look over as well.
The two of them exchanged glances with a tacit understanding.
Both of them had almost the same thoughts.
The reason why they searched the storage bags of the fat and skinny old men was not for any treasures, but for a way to leave the Emperor’s Tomb.
The fat and skinny old men had once said that they were the only ones with a way to leave the Emperor’s Tomb.
The greatest possibility was a teleportation talisman.
Now that both of them had the teleportation talismans, it was equivalent to them taking the initiative—at the very least, they would not be trapped to death in the Emperor’s Tomb.
“Hand it over!”
When Jian Yu and the others saw Su Zimo and Tang Ziyi’s actions, they pondered for a moment and understood the reason.
Everyone went forward and surrounded Su Zimo and Tang Ziyi.
“What are you guys doing?”
Su Zimo surveyed his surroundings and asked indifferently.
Jian Yu said coldly, “Leave the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng and teleportation talisman behind!”
Su Zimo ignored Jian Yu’s threat. “If you want to leave the Emperor’s Tomb, stay by my side. At that time, I’ll naturally take you guys away.”
“Hmph! You guys killed an Exalted Immortal of the Immortal Kingdom and are bound to die. Yet, you want to lead us?”
“Su Zimo, the reason why you were able to kill the Exalted Immortal of the Immortal Kingdom earlier on was because you caught him off guard. All of us killed our way out of the Ten Absolute Hell. Do you think we’re afraid of you?!”
The remaining dozens of cultivators surrounded Su Zimo and Tang Ziyi with murderous auras.
“Off guard?”
Su Zimo smiled and shook his head at the person who spoke. “You’re still too naive. If I want to kill you, you won’t be able to stop me even if I tell you openly!”
“How arrogant!”
The person was enraged and attacked first. He conjured a lesser divine power each with both hands and released them completely, shouting, “Su Zimo, die!”
That person’s two lesser divine powers were offensive divine powers and he did not hold back at all.
Su Zimo’s expression was calm as he moved and ‘floated’ towards that person. At the same time, he flicked his finger.
Chi! Chi!
Sword qi tore through the air and two white sword qi arrived instantly, piercing the two lesser divine powers condensed in the person’s palm.
By the time that person was released, there were only two balls of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi left without any damage.
“Mmm…”
Far away, Yun Ting’s eyes lit up when he saw the two sword qi. His body trembled as he murmured softly, “The aura of those two sword qi…”
“Your Highness, what’s wrong?”
Another cultivator whispered, “Although the killing intent of the two sword qi is strong, they can’t compare to Your Highness’s sword qi.”
“Hahahaha!”
Yun Ting could not help but rear his head in laughter with a delighted expression. “The heavens are truly on my side. This trip was not wasted!”
In the eyes of others, Su Zimo’s two sword qi merely had a strong killing intent and were extremely powerful.
However, Yun Ting knew that the two sword qi came from the same origin as the sword qi he cultivated!
What he cultivated was one of the three famous sword arts of the upper world, the Human Slaying Sword Art!
The other two sword arts were Heaven Slaying and Earth Slaying.
Among the three sword arts, the Human Slaying Sword Art was the strongest. At its peak, it could condense supreme divine powers that could overturn the world.
The three sword arts came from the Sword World.
It was said that if one comprehended all three sword arts and mastered them, they would have a chance to condense a supreme divine power of the Sword Dao that was unprecedented and irreplaceable!
