Divine Brilliance - Chapter 354
Chapter 354: Chapter 354 Tearing Off an Arm
Looking at Yue Linghuan hurriedly leave, Xiong Yu’s face was ashen white. She didn’t speak a word, turning around and leaving too.
Zong Shou turned around in disdain, looking over coldly, “If my guesses are correct, you are princess Xuanyu from Blazing Flame Mountain right? Guess why I would let this Yue Linghuan go today.”
The petite ashen white-faced Xiong Yu stopped in her tracks, her breathing became heavy. Her eyes filled with wariness. She only felt a huge pressure surge towards her face, making her sweat profusely.
How could she not understand Zong Shou’s intentions? Allowing Yue Linghuan to leave was to save his strength to make her stay!
Taking in a deep breath, Xiong Yu gave out a sad smile,” Xiong Yu doesn’t understand why the ruler will choose me? In terms of talent, I might have some but no matter what I don’t believe that I am better than brother Yue Linghuan who was able to protect his home and go up against your army after his father died…”
Her voice was extremely nice to listen to. Her pair of long legs along with the white skirt made it appear graceful.
Zong Shou acted like he didn’t see that and said calmly, “The number of troops the princess brought is the same as the other 2. I don’t know the exact situation but I can see that you are a caring person and can calculate 90% of my strength. Even just with the people under you, they could kill me numerous times. What you miscalculated was that within half a month I had fortunately entered the Return to Sun realm, gathering up a bit of dragon energy…”
He could hear the breath of the woman opposite him stop. Zong Shou scoffed, his voice still calm and without emotion, “Your father is still there, even if I kill you I wouldn’t get anything good on the side of Blazing Flame Mountain. On the contrary, if Yue Linghuan died, Hanxi province and even Taoyun City would be in my grasps. However in this world what one feared most is not understanding the opponent. Although he is talented I know all about his trump cards. Instead, I know nothing about you…”
Whilst he spoke his voice seemed to have a unique rhythm to it. One exhale and one inhale, however, it didn’t affect the flow of his voice and instead help to shake and captivate the heart.
Before this, the amount of energy he had absorbed from the few Xuanwu ancestors using the heaven swallowing energy conversion technique was slowly being adjusted. He went all out, dealing with the chaotic meridians in his body causing them to reach a level that could still be used.
Xiong Yu only felt her heart turn cold. Just because he didn’t understand her and felt a little threatened was the reason why he wanted to kill her! What a vicious person!
Her expression changed as she managed to pick up the mysteries behind Zong Shou’s breathing. She had fallen for it! Zong Shou was devoid of all energy just now!
He purposely acted strongly to force her to stop. Talking to her was just to drag time to adjust his breathing and internal energy.
She was also a decisive person, just feeling a little off, her body explosively retreated, “Your highness and my Blazing Flame Mountain has an agreement half a month ago. This time I am in the wrong and Blazing Flame Mountain will give an explanation. Why not we just end the matter today like this? Acting here is also disrespecting that dragon shadow, old man.”
Zong Shou didn’t rush to act, slightly shaking his head, saying word by word, “Why do we need to do that? Why not I kill you and then my Gantian Mountain can explain to your father!”
The vital energy in his body that was boiling such that it was about to explode was now crazily burning.
…He had a 90% chance of winning.
Zong Shou’s body was pushed forward by a wind, swiftly pushing forwards in this cave. His speed seemed to exceed the limit of all grade 6 experts, arriving almost instantly.
There was originally a thousand-foot distance which opened between the 2 of them, in just a breath it had reduced to less than a hundred,
The expressions of the few Xuanwu ancestors beside her all changed. One of them after roaring out angrily slashed out with an ax, chopping forwards without any care.
The ax energy charged for him but Zong Shou didn’t even blink, yet again punching out with an empty fist!
When the ax and fist flashed, the energy that he had swallowed instantly exploded out, actually smashing the giant ax into pieces!
The fist didn’t stop, along with his body moving it smashed deep into the head of the Xuanwu ancestor.
“Peng!”
In the hundred feet wide cave, instantly numerous gusts of wind scattered about with the thin pieces of metal. There was also the white bones and blood juices which splattered all about.
At that instance, Xiong Yu’s breathing had stopped. He knew that Zong Shou didn’t use any special fist techniques or had any huge changes.
He just simply did a direct punch, it was extremely domineering and clean. Just one fist and he killed a Xuanwu ancestor on the spot!
“Demon!”
At this moment, she only had such a phrase in her heart to describe Zong Shou.
The thin and weak looking teen in front of her had finally merged with the image of the person who led hundred thousand cavalry to charge into Xiyun and Huanlong Provinces, causing the millions-strong army of Taoyun City to abandon their armors and throw their helmets!
This aura was unstoppable and invincible! He dominated tens of thousand miles of land, absolutely domineering!
The blood-splattered, dyeing Zong Shou’s entire body in red. However, his eyes were still ice cold.
The 2nd person in front of him held a sword, the place where the sword light originated from was like a flower blooming, both dangerous and beautiful.
However, it was like Zong Shou didn’t see anything at all. Just a simple raise of the leg as he used his knee, using the newly swallowed energy to explode out at the front of his knee.
The sword light instantly scattered, the sword also dislodged from the 8 meridian Xuanwu ancestor’s hand. He instantly spat out fresh blood, and he stumbled backward.
Zong Shou was like a giant eagle which opened its wings and flew, pouncing downwards. His hands opening wide and grabbing the neck of that person. He pinched tightly, smashing the person’s spine and bones into dust!
Xiong Yu’s heart jumped as she saw that, she didn’t know if Zong Shou had gone all out just now? He had such a strong fist attack, how did it look like a person who had used up all his true qi.
The hearts of the people all around or sunk. Their eyes, apart from being filled with despair, was also filled with the determination to fight to the death. One of them who was a 30-year-old teen scoffed coldly, “This person is simply too strong. Little miss, please leave swiftly! Even if all of us die we will stop him! Use that illusionary shadow hiding talisman…”
Xiong Yu didn’t say a word, she stopped looking backward, her body swiftly dashing. Those few Xuanwu ancestors all stopped. Who knows what skill they used, their faces were white and green, however, the aura of their body exploded. Those 2 Return to Sun spirit masters stopped, not caring about their bodies, releasing their souls out of the body.
Zong Shou reached out and grabbed, holding the lightning winged sword which had been by his side defending against spirit master spells.
“Do you think you can leave?”
The sword light flashing, it was still that maniac lightning sword, his body covering a hundred feet in an instance.
When he passed by the body of one of the Xuanwu ancestors, the sword light flashed, giving out a thread of fresh blood.
In just a moment he was right behind that Xiong Yu, grabbing out with a hand and right onto the left shoulder.
Xiong Yu’s beautiful face was devoid of color as she tried her best to struggle. The willow leaf long knife in her hand slashed backward.
Zong Shou casually blocked it, however, who knows what cultivation method she trained in, her meridians became indiscernible, he was unable to locate her acupoints and press onto her meridian. He tried for a while and seeing it not work, he sent his fire and water spiral world shocking true energy to crazily charge into her heart meridian.
Just as he was about to smash the heartstring of this girl, a few angry growls spread out from behind. Without needing to look, just using his soul to sense he could feel 2 balls of huge spiritual energy surging towards him.
It was the 2 Return to Sun spirit masters who drove their spiritual artifacts, charging for him in an attempt to die together. In just an instant, they were a few feet away.
Zong Shou frowned slightly before sighing helplessly, his hand ripping only to hear cracking sounds as he had forcefully torn off the left arm of Xuan Yu.
Following which, his body flashed and changed direction, moving away from his original spot. The sword in his hand was as illusionary as the cloud as he stabbed towards the center of the brows of the other Xuanwu ancestors.
Tens of breaths later, this cave had regained calm once more. It was only left with a ground full of corpses, there were a few people who were on their last breaths.
Zong Shou stood on the ground which was dyed red by blood, frowning as he looked in the direction of Xiong Yu leaving.
The illusionary hiding shadow talisman she used was at least above grade 7. Even a grade 7-day wandering spirit master wouldn’t be able to find her tracks much less him who wasn’t good at spells.
Even the bloody scent was being covered. One could see that Xiong Yu was a meticulous person. Although she was injured there was no blood around at all and no smell.
Thinking about it Zong Shou felt more worried.
This person brought 7 Xuanwu ancestors and 2 return to sun spirit master, only these 3 were from Blazing Flame Mountain.
This woman used her ability to be able to gather up so many experts. All of them were without exception super loyal to her and willing to serve her till death.
Even within the demon sects, disciples who trained in charming and mind control methods weren’t able to do that.
She indeed could be his opponent.
This time letting her escape might be one of his biggest problems in the future.
He let out a self-mocking laugh as he took out a token. It was that common people path token that Wei Xu gave him.
At this moment he had an urge to toss it away.
As expected people were like that, once one had a person they thought about or a way out, they would become soft and weak.
Just now it was like that, right at the start he thought about using this token to escape.
Until the moment he decided to take the initiative to attack did he make up his mind to toss it.
He forced himself to not think about it, tossing away all his thoughts. In his mind, the only thing he thought about was that even if he died he couldn’t use this! He forced himself into a situation where he was dead before he was able to push out all the potential in his body.
“Senior brother ah senior brother, although you were caring to give this to me, it is a huge bane…”
After hesitating for a moment, Zong Shou decided to throw the token into his heaven and earthbag.
The most important use of this item was to enter and exit the common people vast habitat. Looking at it from another way, wasn’t it a way to train his heart?
