Chapter 1999: You’re Still Young

Translator: Legge 

Initially, Yun Ting had a thought in his heart that he wanted to take Su Zimo under his wing after suppressing the latter. That way, Su Zimo would become a great help to him.

But now, he realized that given Su Zimo’s capabilities and talent, he would definitely not submit to others!

“Let’s fight!”

Yun Ting’s blood qi surged and his sword qi buzzed as he shouted, “Let’s see how long you can last against my attacks!”

His sword finger could penetrate Su Zimo’s defense.

At the very least, he had the absolute upper hand and the initiative!

Furthermore, he had even stronger trump cards that he had yet to use.

Once released, those methods would be earthshaking and apocalyptic—even he could not control it!

The moment he said that, Yun Ting attacked once more, waving his sword finger towards Su Zimo.

Su Zimo was fearless. Relying on the augmentation of the Six Tusk Divine Strength, he leaped up and fought against Yun Ting!

Su Zimo was invincible among his peers in melee combat and was almost invincible.

It was not only because the Green Lotus True Body was strong, but also because of his melee combat techniques.

It had the toughness of dragons and elephants, the ferocity of tigers and leopards, the nimbleness of apes and snakes as well as the steadiness of bears and turtles.

Those techniques originated from the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness and had gone through countless life and death experiences. After comprehending and summarizing, Su Zimo reorganized them, fused them with other brilliant combat skills and mastered them, forming his own unique combat skills!

Although those combat skills were derived from the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness, they were more suitable for Su Zimo than the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness itself.

However, against Yun Ting, Su Zimo could not gain any advantage in melee combat!

Although Yun Ting was restricted and had to use his fingers in place of an actual sword, he could still release countless exquisite sword techniques!

Coupled with the sharpness of his sword finger, Yun Ting was still in control of the situation and had the upper hand.

Even so, Yun Ting was getting more and more alarmed.

What sword techniques did he cultivate?

Those sword techniques were created by many seniors and sword cultivators of the upper world after countless years of comprehension.

Coupled with his sword blood and talent in the Dao of the sword, the power of every sword technique would be magnified when released by him!

However, no matter how ferocious his attacks were, they were resolved by Su Zimo’s combat techniques one after another.

He had never seen any of Su Zimo’s combat techniques before.

At times, when Su Zimo attacked, it was as though he was possessed by a True Dragon and his strength was unparalleled.

However, in the blink of an eye, Su Zimo’s aura changed and his movement technique became agile, slithering around him like an ape.

Even the sharp sword finger that he relied on the most did not affect Su Zimo much.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had exchanged hundreds of blows.

Dozens of wounds appeared on Su Zimo’s body from his sword finger.

However, Su Zimo’s regeneration capabilities were way too strong!

Even in such an intense battle, Su Zimo’s wounds healed quickly without losing much blood qi!

On the contrary, if his attacks weakened slightly, Su Zimo would definitely retaliate in an extremely ferocious manner!

There were a few times when he was almost grabbed by Su Zimo’s palm.

Su Zimo’s fingernails were sharp like the claws of a tiger.

If it landed on him, there would definitely be five bloodied wounds!

As time passed by, Yun Ting became frustrated.

Although he was more than 200 years old, he was way too young for the upper world.

He had rich cultivation resources, shocking talent, a deep background and noble status. However, he was too young and his mental state was much inferior.

Up till this point of his cultivation, Yun Ting had fought countless battles and encountered many paragons and monster incarnates—he had never been delayed to this extent.

However, Su Zimo was unusually calm the entire time. He was in no hurry and his eyes were expressionless.

His spirit perception had even sensed the restlessness in Yun Ting’s heart!

If one’s mental state was unstable, they would definitely reveal some openings.

Yun Ting’s heart skipped a beat and the sharpness of his sword finger merely trembled slightly. Su Zimo sensed it and counterattacked with a bright gaze!

“You’re still young,”

Su Zimo said indifferently.

His tone sounded like he was lecturing a junior. When Yun Ting heard that, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

The change in his mental state was way too subtle and could not even be considered as an opening.

However, that was enough for Su Zimo!

Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal clashing echoed—it was Su Zimo’s fingernails that collided with Yun Ting’s sword finger and sparks flew.

Su Zimo’s fingernails were severed by Yun Ting’s sword finger.

Su Zimo’s other palm seized the opportunity and passed through the layers of sword shadows, landing heavily on Yun Ting’s chest!

Bang!

That was the Great Chaos Essence Palm and Su Zimo did not hold back!

“Mmm?”

Su Zimo pushed his palm down and frowned slightly.

His palm did not strike flesh. Instead, it was cold to the touch!

The moment the palm landed, the clothes on Yun Ting’s chest were shattered, revealing a shimmering silver inner armor.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Yun Ting retreated continuously and every step he took left a deep footprint on the ground.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

A cracking sound came from Yun Ting’s chest.

He lowered his head and his expression changed!

There was a layer of ice on the surface of his inner armor.

At that moment, a gigantic palm print appeared on the layer of ice. Cracks appeared on the ice around the palm print and spread gradually!

The armor on Yun Ting was the Ice Soul Silver Armor and was a gift from his sister.

The ice layer on the Ice Soul Silver Armor had a powerful defense that even an ordinary low-level Earth Immortal might not be able to shatter with his full strength!

But now, it was shattered by a single palm strike from Su Zimo!

Even with the protection of the Ice Soul Silver Armor, Yun Ting was not completely uninjured; his chest felt stuffy—it was clear how terrifying the power released by Su Zimo’s palm strike was.

When he saw that, Su Zimo lamented internally.

If not for the silver inner armor, his palm strike would have definitely severely injured Yun Ting!

Someone like Yun Ting had countless treasures and lifesaving methods.

“B*tch, how dare you!”

Right then, a hurried, sharp and terrified shout sounded from the side.

Most of Su Zimo’s attention was still on Yun Ting. At the same time, he glanced sideways at the voice.

On the other side of the battlefield, the situation changed!

Sensing danger, the blue-dressed woman, one of the four paragons, retreated, as though she wanted to leave the battlefield.

However, Tang Ziyi’s figure appeared behind her and grabbed the top of her head at an extremely fast speed that she could not dodge at all!

At that moment, the bald monk and iron tower man were slightly further and could not save her in time.

The only one who could attack was the middle-aged Daoist.

A cold glint flashed through the middle-aged Daoist’s eyes. Without hesitation, he flicked his sleeves and struck the back of Tang Ziyi’s head and back!

Tang Ziyi could naturally sense the attacks behind her. However, she was expressionless and did not stop.

She had to kill the blue-dressed woman!

She had waited for this opportunity for too long.

If this continued, she would definitely be exhausted to death by the four paragons.

But now, only the middle-aged Daoist could attack her—she was confident she could survive.

Pfft!

Tang Ziyi’s fingernails were sharp and pierced the blue-dressed woman’s skull after a momentary pause!

The lightning contained in her fingertip destroyed the blue-dressed woman’s Essence Spirit instantly.

As a top-tier assassin, Tang Ziyi’s every single attack was fatal!
