Chapter 1989: Killing With a Borrowed Knife

Translator: Legge 

There was nothing wrong with stopping Su Zimo.

However, Old Man Ge felt that something was amiss.

Only, the situation was dangerous and tense on the chaotic battlefield and he did not have the energy to think about it carefully.

Furthermore, Fang Xuan had already charged forward first and Old Man Ge could only follow.

In midair.

Relying on the Extreme Speed divine power of the Roc’s wings, Su Zimo shuttled through the obstruction of many otherworldly soldiers without slowing down at all as he approached Yun Ting who was at the front.

Suddenly!

A figure appeared from the side and threw a punch with an extremely ferocious aura.

The surrounding air turned scorching hot from the friction of that punch!

That punch did not have any additional movements. It was a simple straight punch but it sealed all of Su Zimo’s advancement paths!

Su Zimo’s expression was unchanged as he ignored the punch. Instead of showing any signs of weakness, he charged forward viciously!

Boom!

The two collided with a deafening bang!

Su Zimo’s figure appeared and paused in midair.

An expert!

Furthermore, it was a top-tier expert!

Right now, the Green Lotus True Body had already grown to the peak of Grade 9 and could take on connate black-grade Dharmic treasures without using his blood qi.

Apart from his shocking physique, the fact that he could be blocked after releasing the Extreme Speed divine power and Ethereal Wings required extremely sharp eyes.

Even the paragons of the four immortal sects he had fought previously did not have such methods.

Su Zimo glanced sideways and saw a black-robed man standing in midair not far away. It was the person who fought against Tang Ziyi previously.

Fang Xuan shuddered as well and took half a step back with a dark expression, placing a hand behind his back.

As a monster incarnate of the lower worlds, he cultivated a mysterious cultivation technique, the Divine Elephant Breathing Technique, and was invincible. Every single time he attacked, he possessed the power of a divine elephant and could destroy the world and crush stars!

If this cultivation technique was cultivated to its limits, it could even obtain the power of thousands of divine elephants and be invincible on land, suppressing all living beings!

The fact that he could survive the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation and ascend with an indestructible body was proof of how strong he was!

Even after ascending to the upper world, none of the cultivators of the same cultivation realm were his match in melee combat or physical combat, let alone in the lower worlds.

During his clash with Su Zimo earlier on, neither of them used blood qi; it was a pure physical fight. However, he was disadvantaged!

The palm behind his back trembled slightly and felt a sharp pain.

He had to circulate his blood qi secretly to resolve the pain and heal the hidden injuries on his palm.

Fang Xuan thought for a moment and realized that he might not be a match for Su Zimo even if he used his blood qi.

Even if he could gain the upper hand with his Bloodline phenomenon, it would be difficult for him to suppress Su Zimo within a short period of time.

Furthermore, his Bloodline phenomenon was one of his greatest trump cards and he must not use it unless he had no other choice.

His trump card was prepared for Yun Ting.

At that thought, Fang Xuan arrived beside Su Zimo in a flash.

“This person’s physique is very strong. I’ll fight him head-on while you attack from behind!”

On the other side, Old Man Ge had just arrived when he heard Fang Xuan’s voice transmission.

Before he could think further, Fang Xuan had already attacked!

Boom! Boom!

Fang Xuan channeled his blood qi and the sound of a tsunami echoed from his body.

Tsunami Blood!

Filled with blood qi, Fang Xuan’s body expanded rapidly and rose continuously. In the blink of an eye, he grew into a small giant that was 30 feet tall!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Fang Xuan swayed his massive body and let out a loud bang with every step he took in midair. Filled with a savage aura, he charged over like a divine elephant!

The charge of a divine elephant was the most terrifying.

On land, no living being could stop him.

Su Zimo looked at Fang Xuan who was charging over fearlessly with a burning gaze.

His feet stomped on the ground and his knees pushed forward. His entire body was stretched like a sprinting horse!

That was a killing move from the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness!

Worried that his Green Lotus True Body’s bloodline would be exposed, Su Zimo did not use his blood qi.

Even so, the aura of that move was not weak at all!

“Exalted Immortal, now’s the time!”

Fang Xuan sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness and growled.

Without hesitation, Old Man Ge walked forward instinctively and conjured a Dharmic seal with both hands, smashing it towards Su Zimo’s back.

Just as Fang Xuan and Su Zimo were about to collide, a sinister glint flashed through Fang Xuan’s eyes as he suddenly dispersed his blood qi and stopped in his tracks.

Fang Xuan’s body withered rapidly like deflated skin and returned to normal.

He did not choose to fight Su Zimo head-on. Instead, he suddenly stopped and retreated!

Su Zimo was slightly stunned. Right then, Old Man Ge’s attack descended.

Su Zimo harrumphed coldly. Without even thinking or turning back, his entire arm suddenly went limp like a divine elephant’s trunk and flung backwards!

The change was extremely sudden without any warning.

Initially, Fang Xuan and Old Man Ge were the ones who joined forces to stop Su Zimo.

With Fang Xuan’s sudden retreat, Old Man Ge was the only one left facing Su Zimo.

Old Man Ge wanted to dodge and retreat but it was too late.

His eyes widened as he looked at the departing Fang Xuan. Initially, his eyes were filled with surprise, doubt and confusion…

In the end, everything was taken over by rage!

“You…”

Old Man Ge merely said a single word before the Dharmic seal he conjured with both hands was shattered by Su Zimo’s arm.

Immediately after, the arm whipped Old Man Ge’s head and shattered it. His Essence Spirit was destroyed and he died on the spot!

Although Old Man Ge’s Essence Spirit was also at the Earth Essence realm, he did not have the chance to release an Essence Spirit secret skill.

There were many cultivators present, but there were less than two who could withstand Su Zimo’s move!

Su Zimo frowned and quickly understood that he had been used as a weapon.

However, that did not affect him much.

It did not matter if he killed an Exalted Immortal of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom!

However, the sinister nature of Fang Xuan made him wary.

This person was troublesome to deal with.

“Hehe, thank you,”

Arriving beside Old Man Ge, Fang Xuan removed his storage bag and put it away. He smiled sinisterly at Su Zimo and continued charging forward.

As a monster incarnate of the lower worlds who had ascended through the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation, he was prideful and would not bow down to others so easily!

Furthermore, Old Man Ge was only a servant of the prince.

Deep in his bones, the old man had a condescending attitude and had never taken Fang Xuan seriously.

Although Fang Xuan was respectful on the surface, he was already displeased internally.

However, no matter how bold he was, unlike Su Zimo, he would not dare to kill an Exalted Immortal in front of everyone.

That was the reason for the scene earlier on.

To him, this old man was already a burden and was useless.

Abandoning him, Fang Xuan relaxed and chased after Yun Ting.
