Divine Brilliance

When that line of blood sprayed out, the remaining two blue swordsmen were totally stunned.

Zhou Yu, at the back, couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Were his eyes playing tricks on him? Although the fellow who died was far from the skill of the Li Family brothers, he was still at the peak of a martial soldier and had opened up three meridians. His sword technique was also exquisite amongst those of the same rank. He was so easily stabbed in the throat, and by that cousin-brother who couldn’t even open a single chakra meridian.

Zong Shuo’s actions didn’t stop at all!

“Swallow energy!”

His vital energy flowed in the opposite direction, and his Chakra Meridians went against the flow. A strong absorption force exploded from the tip of the Pine Pattern Wind Sword, sucking out all the strength and signs of life from the body. It turned them into energy gathered within the sword.

Unfortunately, his Spirit Eye was not opened. If not, he would see that this person’s soul was also absorbed by his sword!

Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion; this technique was just that cruel. Swallowing and absorbing Heaven and Earth, anything could be swallowed!

Before the energy from the corpse flowed into his body, a green flow exploded out from the Pine Pattern Wind Sword.

Half of the essence energy started to awaken the Wind Series spirit talisman within the sword after the sword body was energized. The sword lit up once more, and the footsteps of Zong Shou were like that of a lingbo dance. Inconceivably, he appeared beside another person.

“Yan Xiang!”

The beautiful and exquisite green light flashed lightly, and a head flew into the air. Large amounts of blood and brain matter surged out from the broken point.

Those two blue-shirted swordsmen fell one after another. Everyone present was totally silent. One could only hear the intense slashing of swords a thousand feet away.

There was a sense of loss on all of their faces. The cynical expression on Zong Yu’s face still hadn’t faded.

In an instance, two people were chopped down! One was stabbed in the throat, while the other was beheaded!

Moreover, all the sword styles and footwork techniques he used were normal to the max. Anyone that cultivated needed to learn these basics. However, in Zong Shou’s hands, these techniques had an inconceivable amount of strength!

Zong Yu was stunned for a short moment, before the last wolf-race swordsman was slain in one slash. When he looked at Zong Shou, who was surging over with speed that was increasing by several times over, Zong Yu felt his heart tremble. In that moment, he actually felt fear.

It was like the person he was facing wasn’t that trash that he bullied when he was a kid. Instead, it was a true expert boiling with killing intent.

Those narrow and long phoenix eyes didn’t have the calm and gentleness as before. All that was left was ice-cold killing intent, which made his pupils sting with pain.

Just as trepidation rose in his heart, and his senses were on the verge of collapse, two loud hollers spread out from beside him at the same time. Zong Yu returned to his senses, only to see Li Ling and Li Du both charging out. At the same time, he felt embarrassed that he actually felt afraid. Afraid of this cousin-brother…

In the end, he still had not experienced much, and just two peak Martial Warriors had made him panic. He was a middle-ranked Martial Master who had broken through five meridians! He needed just a year to break through into the Mythic Master rank!

Frowning, Zong Yu also drew his sword. The next moment, he looked out toward Zong Shou, and he saw Zong Shou’s left hand flip and a green light streak out. For some reason, a bloody streak appeared on the throat of Li Ling on the left. His eyes went totally round, staring in death to the front in disbelief.

“What was that?”

As the blood flowed out, Zong Yu was still in a daze. Looking carefully, he noticed that a green flying knife was driven into Li Ling’s throat. It looked like a willow leaf, and also had blood patterns on it. Moreover, it was as thin as a cicada wing!

His eyes couldn’t help but contract. A flying knife? Li Ling and Li Du were both four meridian Martial Masters, so they were just a little weaker than him. They had also been through tens of tough battles, yet they died to a flying knife?

What secret technique was that? If that flying knife flew toward him, could he escape?

“Li Ling!”

A tragic shout rose in the wilderness. Li Du’s speed suddenly exploded. His expression was savage as he charged toward the thin image. He waved his giant sword as he hacked down.

The current Zong Shou only had Li Du in his eyes. After that flying knife shot out, he didn’t bother about it anymore.

Six God Defensive Knife, breaking the spirit, taking the life! No one can live!

However, half of the energy taken from the three people through the Energy Swallowing Technique was used up by that knife.

His eyes focusing, the Luantai Extra Point in his body exploded. The true qi stored inside gathered up the remnant energy, causing a huge storm around the Pine Pattern Wind Sword. A green light shone out.

“Charge!”

Another simple charge; however, the sword was unstoppable. When the two swords met, a crisp “Dang!” sound broke out and sparks flew.

The huge recoil caused both of them to lean backward. Just as Li Du was still trying to stabilize his body, Zong Shou’s right foot had already stepped on the ground. He used the foot as a pivot to spin in the air.

“Swallow return!”

The sword shadow was light and quick, and it easily left a bloody cut across Li Du’s throat.

It was not a millimeter too deep nor was it a millimeter too shallow. The move had directly cut his veins and blood vessels.

Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion also swallowed up all the life essence and soul of this low Grade Martial Master.

The Pine Pattern Wind Sword in his hand shook, giving out a sweet ringing. Zong Shou stood still and coldly looked at Zong Yu, who now was only a few steps away.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t willing to kill this piece of trash at the same time. Rather, it was because within his body, his meridians were boiling and his energy was running rampant. Although the Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion Technique and those extra acupoints were all top secret arts, one had to pay a heavy price to use them; this was especially true for someone with a body like his.

If he killed Zong Yu now, Zong Shou would probably collapse on the spot.

At the current moment, be it Zong Yu or Su Chuxue, they were both still in a trance. Looking at the extra bodies that had fallen to the grass, they were pretty much unable to tear their eyes away.

They similarly couldn’t believe that two low Grade Martial Masters and three peak Martial Warriors had died under the sword of Zong Shou in such a simple and clean manner.

The entire process took less than sixty breaths of time.

Su Chuxue was originally lying limply on the ground in despair. At the current moment, she was lost and looked around, confused.

Not long ago, she still thought that they definitely wouldn’t be able to survive. After a short moment, the entire situation had turned around.

When she didn’t believe it, she touched her wounds. They really hurt!

After a few breaths, the storm in Zong Shou’s body had calmed down slightly. He smiled towards Xue’er, “Do you remember how the scars on my cousin came about?”

Su Chuxue came to her senses. Instantly, she pushed out her chest, not bothering about the dizziness from losing a lot of blood, “Zong Yu offended you, master ordered people to whip him for three days and three nights using the Dragon Whip. Chase him out of Gantian Mountain and make him a slave. Make him remember that our prince cannot be offended!”

“Shut up!” Zong Yu’s face was totally twisted, flushing red. Instantly, countless bloody scars appeared, extremely ugly. He gripped both his hands; he was filled with energy, the grass around him rising into the air.

Rage like a maniac. Zong Yu stepped forward, only to see Zong Shou looking expressionlessly at him with a smile that wasn’t a smile.

It was like buckets of water being poured down onto him. All of his rage disappeared. If this Zong Zhou was strong enough to kill the Li Family brothers, escaping was unknown, let alone taking revenge today .

His expression turned dark and cold, as he contemplated for a short moment. Zong Yu gritted his teeth and leapt toward Su Chuxue.

He saw the lips of the young man coldly rise up.

It was like a slight breeze came from the sleeve of that right hand, and numerous white lights shot through the air. With no way to dodge, his throat was pierced.

Zong Yu could even hear the sound of his throat bone shattering. Fresh blood left his body under high pressure.

As his line of sight grew dimmer, he saw Zong Shou stopping right in front of him.

“Unfortunately for these legendary techniques, the one using them is actually such trash…”
