Divine Brilliance - Chapter 697
Chapter 697: Kid At The Top
It was so rushed that even Zong Shou didn’t expect it.
All changes occured in an instant. When he came back to his senses, the situation had turned on its head.
Everywhere the black fog had spread, the Buddhist light turned dark.
Those Death Beasts that were destroyed actually came back to life.
Zong Shou frowned and with just one step he arrived within the heavy fog.
At this moment, Gong Xinran’s hand formed a really weird fist.
“Where my power lands, there will be Death and no Life!”
Silently striking, causing the Death Gate and all the Death Energy here to swell up! There was a loud explosion!
Those six Vast Qingxuan Warriors were the first to be struck. Their broad swords broke and their bodies were tossed. They could only rely on the Righteous Energy from the scripture to barely protect their bodies.
They were only attacked by the ripples.
100 miles away, the 36 Buddhist monks’ chests all collapsed. The 36 Dari Dharmas were all wiped out. The Buddhist light dimmed. Apart from those 4 Spirit Realm monks who could hold up against the Death Energy, the life forces of the rest were swiftly decreasing and they were all nearly about to stop breathing.
Zong Shou’s heart jumped once more as he looked at Gong Xinran with a weird expression.
Nine Yin Styx River, Death has arrived…
Although it was a Sealing Technique, it was similar to his Styx River Death Sword.
However, her understanding of the Death Laws far exceeded his!
The fist directly acted on the source of the Path, breaking the life force of these monks.
This Nine Yin Death Witch was simply too strong!
He knew that he couldn’t delay any longer. Zong Shou stepped forward onto one of the scripture pillars and with a seal a light spread out. It turned into many white pigeons that flew into the bodies of the monks who were about to die.
In just such a short moment, everyone’s heart pumped once more.
However, most of them had ashen white faces, drained of blood.
Zifang’s expression was pale as he panted, spitting out all the Death Energy.
“What a great Soul Return Technique! Thank you Ruler for saving my Junior and Senior Brothers. If they really died like that, I don’t think they could return to the Buddhist World…”
He shook his head in a powerless manner, “This Evil Witch is strong, there is nothing I can do. I can only depend on Ruler!”
Zong Shou nodded slightly. He invited them over but he didn’t think about relying on their strength to send her back to the Netherworld. His plan was to drag and delay her such that the people around could escape.
He didn’t expect that Hanshan and Haoxuan would send so many Experts, even Lingyun Sect would bring such a sword formation.
The situation before was too good, so good that it made him careless.
He didn’t think that those three sword formations and two people whose ability could be considered strong amongst Spirit Realm Experts couldn’t suppress one Gong Xinran.
In these 10,000 years, there were numerous Death Witches who appeared but none were as strong as her.
Reaching out and patting Zifang, an energy surged in and his color returned.
However, that was all he could do. His Soul Return Technique was something he learned from Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect. It was just a Godlike Technique. As long as one’s soul didn’t dissipate, one would be able to live.
Unfortunately, his understanding of the Life word was still very shallow.
At most he could allow these people to regain some life force and escape the Death Seal, giving them some ability to protect themselves.
He didn’t have much ability to do anything more.
In that instant, the giant hammer of the black-robed scholar smashed toward the sky.
It scattered the clouds and the Seven Bamboo Cold Star Formation!
Gu Mie also pulled out his Bone Saber.
He wanted to slash out but he felt an invisible sword intent wrapping around.
The Yin Fire in his eyes constricted as he looked forward.
He saw a thin person on one of the pillars flashing in front of the three of them, standing in front of the Death Gate.
When Gong Xinran saw this, she was stunned. She quickly came back to her senses and had a look of contemplation on her face.
“I remember you, you are Zong Shou! Linhai College, my Junior Brother…”
When Lianer heard this, he laughed in a teasing manner, “Junior Brother? It seems like Your Highness met someone you knew. How deep was your relationship? Do we need to show mercy?”
His lips curled and he cringed.
“That Soul Return Technique is not bad, but are you asking to die?”
“This person is just trash! I heard he had Dual Meridian Bodies and couldn’t cultivate. I pitied him and occasionally took care of him…”
Gong Xinran closed her eyes, thinking about it deeply. Then she was filled with cold disdain.
“Before I died, I only remembered that Flying Knife Technique was really great. How is it now? I also remembered that you had a crush on me for many years. Interesting!”
“Dual Meridian Body?”
Lianer wanted to mock, but then he looked over with a weird expression.
Dual Meridian Body but Grade-9, that was rare.
The disdain appeared from the depths of his eyes.
Everyone who could cultivate with Dual Meridians was extremely weak and not worth looking at.
“Just a Heaven Realm Cultivator can crush on Your Highness?”
Zong Shou was extremely calm, not affected by any of these words. He carefully focused on every one of her actions.
He had some of the feelings from when she was alive and had hope of saving her.
He wasn’t willing to kill her easily. He would go all out to get her to wake up.
However, his heart couldn’t help but slowly turn cold. The last bit of hope was wiped out.
This woman wasn’t Gong Xinran but the Nine Yin Death Witch!
She could only be an enemy and not a friend.
He sighed, only to hear a laugh from the skies, “Trash? The top of the Sword Path in the Cloud World, unrivaled expert, ruling millions of miles of land… Someone actually called him trash? Who knows what those people who lost to him would say?”
When these words were spoken, a green-robed Taoist appeared in the sky dozens of miles away.
Zong Shou looked above with a cold expression. He had said before that he would kill anyone below Daoling Vast Habitat that he saw.
This person was really bold!
When Lianer heard this, he was surprised. He judged Zong Shou up and down and then shook his head.
He really couldn’t see how this person was abnormal.
Unrivaled in the Cloud World, was that bragging? A few hundred years ago, all those heroes weren’t able to do that.
He didn’t believe this Grade-9 Dual Meridian Body Cultivator could do that.
Even if it was true, it must be because the world had no Experts, a kid being at the top…
