Chapter 1994: Tacit Understanding

Translator: Legge 

Su Zimo and Yun Ting were fighting and neither of them dared to be distracted as they gave it their all. Neither of them noticed that Fang Xuan had already charged out of the encirclement of the otherworldly soldiers.

Fang Xuan was brilliant and strong. He could definitely be considered as a top monster incarnate among the Black Immortals and could even fight against Su Zimo or Yun Ting.

Even in a head-on fight, he might not lose to the two of them.

However, Fang Xuan was scheming and crafty.

In this chaotic and complicated situation, he would definitely not choose to fight Su Zimo alone!

The best way was to join forces with Yun Ting!

Yun Ting had a noble status. Apart from his strength, as a prince, he might possess other unfathomable trump cards.

If he joined forces with Yun Ting to get rid of Su Zimo, the rest would not be a threat!

Even if he could not get his hands on the jade talisman in the end, the benefits of befriending Yun Ting would be unimaginable!

As someone who had ascended from the lower worlds, he would not let go of any chance to change his fate and could even resort to unscrupulous means!

Therefore, Fang Xuan’s attack this time round was thunderous and did not give Su Zimo any chance to escape!

Although Su Zimo’s spirit perception warned him first, the pressure and threat Yun Ting gave him was way too great!

The current situation was equivalent to him fighting one against two!

Furthermore, both of them were top-tier experts of the Black Essence realm!

The pressure on Su Zimo increased exponentially!

It had been a long time since he had been forced into such a dangerous situation by a cultivator of the same cultivation realm.

If Su Zimo were to release all his trump cards, he would naturally be able to neutralize their attacks.

However, his Green Lotus True Body would not be able to remain hidden.

As long as he used his blood qi, Prince Yun Ting would definitely recognize him given the latter’s experience.

But now that the situation was critical, he would definitely be severely injured if he did not use his blood qi or even his Bloodline phenomenon!

Su Zimo had no way out.

Instantly, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Thereafter, a resolute look flashed through his eyes as he prepared to attack with his full strength!

Right then, a change happened in the situation.

…

Fang Xuan’s sudden appearance not only shocked Su Zimo, even Yun Ting was slightly stunned.

Immediately, Yun Ting’s expression was enraged and killing intent flashed through his eyes!

He was too proud and disdained to join forces with others.

It was rare to meet an opponent like Su Zimo. If he wanted to win, he would do it openly!

Furthermore, Fang Xuan was not joining forces with him—it was an ambush!

In fact, Yun Ting felt like he was being used.

Given his pride, he would definitely not allow Su Zimo to die in front of him like this.

In a flash, Yun Ting glanced at Su Zimo and his spirit consciousness moved.

The Human Slaying Sword Light that was about to collide with the Heaven Slaying Sword Qi suddenly dissipated into Essence Qi and dispersed in the hall!

Yun Ting retracted his attack at the last moment!

In a fight, if one party suddenly stopped and the other party did not or could not stop in time, it would be equivalent to committing suicide!

That choice was way too risky!

It was equivalent to Yun Ting exposing himself to the 108,000 Heaven Slaying Sword Qi!

The moment Yun Ting dispersed the Human Slaying Sword Light, his other hand conjured a sword art with a cold killing intent and slashed towards Fang Xuan!

The Human Slaying Sword Qi burst forth and was aimed at Fang Xuan!

“You!”

When Fang Xuan noticed that, he was shocked and enraged, cursing internally as a lunatic!

He had schemed and deduced countless possible changes, but he had not expected Yun Ting to make such a choice!

On the other side, Yun Ting’s change of move surprised Su Zimo as well.

Initially, he was surrounded by two top experts and was in a dangerous situation.

But now, the situation was reversed because of Yun Ting’s choice!

Instead, he had a chance of becoming the biggest winner!

As long as he did not stop, even if the 108,000 Heaven Slaying Sword Qi could not kill Yun Ting, they could severely injure him.

At the same time, Yun Ting had already attacked Fang Xuan and released his Human Slaying Sword Qi.

If Su Zimo turned to deal with Fang Xuan, there was a high chance that he would severely injure the latter.

With that, he could get rid of two of his greatest opponents and threats!

Su Zimo did not even look at Fang Xuan at the side. He merely looked at Yun Ting deeply and his spirit consciousness moved. He chose to stop as well and dispersed the 108,000 Heaven Slaying Sword Qi!

Yun Ting was prideful and stopped because of that.

Su Zimo was an upright person and would not hit someone when they were down.

The two of them had different personalities and backgrounds and had never met before. Earlier on, they were still fighting intensely. However, at this moment, they had a strange tacit understanding!

Initially, Su Zimo was prepared to condense the Earth Slaying Sword Art with his empty palm.

However, at that moment, his killing intent was triggered!

This Fang Xuan was way too sinister!

It was like a viper hiding in the dark, never knowing when it would appear and deal a fatal blow.

Instantly, Su Zimo channeled his spirit consciousness and the gray fog in his palm surged, forming a saber that emitted a shuddering aura!

The greater divine power, Time Is Like a Saber!

Against Fang Xuan’s punch, Su Zimo did not dodge or avoid and slashed with the Time Saber in reverse!

In the blink of an eye, the situation changed and Fang Xuan was surrounded by two monster incarnates, Su Zimo and Yun Ting!

Indeed, Fang Xuan was faster.

However, even if he could hit Su Zimo on the head, it would be difficult for him to escape from the killing sword qi behind him!

Fang Xuan did not have the guts to use his life in exchange.

He had ascended through the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation and did not want to die yet!

Instantly, Fang Xuan could only retreat.

Right then, the Time Saber slashed over!

Although the gray saber was strange, Fang Xuan did not feel much threat.

Furthermore, compared to the killing sword qi on the other side, the gray saber seemed even more ordinary.

Most of Fang Xuan’s energy was spent on dealing with the Human Slaying Sword Qi.

He took a deep breath and condensed at least a dozen lesser divine powers in front of him, most of them defensive divine powers!

On the other side, he waved his sleeves as he retreated towards the Time Saber.

Bang!

The saber was shattered by him with ease and his sleeves were not damaged at all!

“How could this be?”

The fact that he was able to neutralize the gray saber with ease alarmed Fang Xuan instead.

However, it was too late.

The power of time had already surged into his body.

Initially, Fang Xuannian was only slightly more than 10,000 years old. For a Black Immortal with a lifespan of 100,000 years, he was considered young.

However, his lifespan was reduced by 60,000 years after he was slashed by the Time Saber!

In the lower worlds, the Time Saber could sever 30,000 years of lifespan with a single slash.

In the upper world, when released with Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, its power would increase exponentially and a single slash could sever 60,000 years of lifespan!

Initially, Fang Xuan was only a black-robed young man. In the blink of an eye, he missed his peak and was now more than 70,000 years old!

Fang Xuan was not wrong.

Indeed, the Time Saber could not threaten his life.

However, the impact of losing 60,000 years of lifespan was way too great for him!

It was difficult to accept the difference and loss of time in a short period of time.

Furthermore, now that Fang Xuan was more than 70,000 years old, in terms of physique, blood qi, Essence Spirit and body, he had already missed his peak and was now going downhill.
