Chapter 1980: Chaotic Battle

Translator: Legge 

Two Heaven Slaying Sword Qi burst forth and destroyed the lesser divine powers conjured by the cultivator with ease.

“You’re far from being able to take my life,”

Su Zimo’s tone was calm and his movement technique was extremely fast. Almost following the sword qi, he arrived instantly and slapped the cultivator on the head!

Bang!

The person shuddered and his gaze froze. Although he did not seem injured on the surface, his mind was already shattered by Su Zimo’s palm and his Essence Spirit was destroyed!

It was as Su Zimo had said before he attacked—even if he wanted to kill them openly, they could not stop him!

Jian Yu and the others fought their way out of the Ten Absolute Hell while Su Zimo was completely nameless on the Hunting Ranking.

Therefore, deep in their hearts, everyone did not take Su Zimo seriously.

After Su Zimo killed the three of them, the other cultivators did not retreat at all. Instead, their courage was triggered and they swarmed forward under Jian Yu’s orders!

The combined attack of dozens of Grade 9 Black Immortals was quite powerful.

All sorts of lesser divine powers, immortal arts and secret skills were formed and Essence Qi surged.

Poof!

A thunderbolt flashed in the crowd.

One of them had just leaped up when his body stiffened and a hole as thick as an arm appeared on his chest. It was charred and emitted green smoke!

That person’s chest was pierced by the power of thunder!

“Ah!”

The person let out a tragic cry and fell.

Even if his Essence Spirit was not destroyed, his body was severely injured and his lifeforce was devastated; he would not be able to last long with his remaining Essence Spirit.

Behind him, Tang Ziyi’s figure flashed past.

A cultivator wanted to track down Tang Ziyi but realized that he could not.

His spirit consciousness could not lock onto Tang Ziyi’s location at all!

Even Su Zimo’s Earth Immortal spirit consciousness could not lock onto Tang Ziyi.

Back when the two of them fought in the cave, the main reason why Su Zimo was able to gain the upper hand and restrain Tang Ziyi was because of his spirit perception and the True Dragon Nine Flashes.

Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

Su Zimo’s expression was indifferent as he flicked his finger gently. A hundred Heaven Slaying Sword Qi burst forth and splattered everywhere with killing intent.

He was already at the Level 9 Black Essence realm.

With the Green Lotus True Body, even at the same cultivation realm, his Essence Qi was many times purer than other cultivators!

Therefore, the killing power of a single sword qi could dispel a divine power or secret skill.

If Su Zimo were to release thousands of Heaven Slaying Sword Qi, it would be apocalyptic and not many cultivators around the lake would survive!

Far away, Yun Ting nodded slightly when he saw that. “The Heaven Slaying Sword Art is not wasted in his hands.”

“When the heaven’s killing intent is released, the stars are shifted out of alignment. Indeed, it’s extraordinary!”

A cultivator behind Yun Ting said with a smile, “No matter how strong that person cultivated the Heaven Slaying Sword Art, he can’t compare to Your Highness’s Human Slaying Sword Art.”

“That’s for sure,”

Yun Ting had a proud expression. “Notwithstanding the Heaven Slaying Sword Art, even if this person possesses the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts, he won’t be able to deal with the edge of my Human Slaying Sword Art!”

“There’s no need to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Leave it to us,”

Another person said in a deep voice, “When he’s exhausted, we’ll head forward and definitely capture him alive to hand over to Your Highness!”

“There’s no need,”

Yun Ting said indifferently, “I’ll snatch the Heaven Slaying Sword Art personally.”

“Your Highness, he’s just a lowlife. Why are you…”

Before the person could finish, he was interrupted by Yun Ting.

“What status am I of?”

Yun Ting glared at the person. “If I want the Heaven Slaying Sword Art, I would naturally attack openly. I won’t do things as despicable as taking advantage of the situation or bullying with numbers!”

The other cultivators lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

On the other side, in the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.

Fang Xuan’s battle intent surged and he asked in a deep voice, seemingly unable to hold it in, “Exalted Immortal, let me attack. I’ll definitely be able to kill this person with a thunderous might and retrieve the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng!”

“Hold on, there’s no need to hurry,”

Old Man Ge said, “This lad has some tricks up his sleeves. These dozens of cultivators are not his match. You’ll only have a good chance of winning after he exhausts himself for a while.”

Fang Xuan took a deep breath and continued watching.

On the battlefield.

Su Zimo released the Heaven Slaying Sword Art and dispelled all sorts of divine powers and secret skills with a single flick.

Relying on Heavenly Feet and Boundless Golden Light, he shuttled through the crowd with ease. Every single punch and kick that seemed simple contained a terrifying burst power.

Even without using his bloodline, the Green Lotus True Body alone could take on connate black-grade Dharmic treasures head-on!

Cultivators could not use Dharmic treasures and weapons in the Emperor’s Tomb. However, Su Zimo was a human-shaped connate black-grade Dharmic treasure—who could defend against him?!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As though he was taking a leisure stroll, Su Zimo charged left and right and no one could stop him.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the dozens of Grade 9 Black Immortals were killed by him.

A small half of them died in the chaos and did not even know who killed them.

Although this was the first time that Su Zimo and Tang Ziyi had truly joined forces, they had great chemistry.

Su Zimo fought against dozens of cultivators head-on.

On the other hand, Tang Ziyi relied on her unpredictable movement and concealment techniques to blend into the crowd. She appeared occasionally and rarely attacked.

However, every single attack would result in the death of a cultivator!

The two of them were not on the Hunting Ranking. But now, almost all the cultivators on the Hunting Ranking were killed!

The remaining few people finally felt fear and retreated.

However, at that moment, the cultivators of the many sects and factions that were initially watching surged over like a tide.

Most of them were from small sects and factions.

Previously, the fat and skinny old men were from the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and could be considered as Exalted Immortals. No matter how bold they were, they would not dare to attack and were wary.

But now that the fat and skinny old men were dead, Su Zimo and the others were merely Black Immortals of the lower worlds. Furthermore, they were the murderers of the fat and skinny old men.

With that, many cultivators now had an excuse to swarm forward so that they could seize the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng in the chaos!

Far away, Old Man Ge laughed oddly. “With so many people charging forward, it’ll be difficult for Su Zimo to escape unscathed even if he has three heads and six arms.”

“Fang Xuan, prepare yourself. Wait for my orders to attack at any moment!”

“Understood,”

Fang Xuan replied in a deep voice.

On the other side, the cultivators of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom frowned. “Your Highness, Su Zimo is most likely doomed.”

Yun Ting clasped his hands behind his back in silence.

On the battlefield, Su Zimo was fearless against the cultivators charging over from all directions. In fact, there was not even a single ripple in his eyes!

“Hey, let’s retreat first. We can’t take them head-on,”

Tang Ziyi’s voice sounded in Su Zimo’s mind.

“You leave first. Be careful,”

Su Zimo replied.

If the cultivators outside were all top-tier Black Immortals without any restrictions and were at their peak combat strength, he might be wary of some Dharmic treasures or trump cards.

However, in the Emperor’s Tomb, Su Zimo was confident that he could sweep through everything with his body, immortal arts and divine powers!

Furthermore, the environment of the Emperor’s Tomb was complicated and every single step was filled with killing intent. If they encountered some unknown living beings in the Emperor’s Tomb while retreating, they might encounter danger instead.
