Chapter 1884 - Death of an Earth Immortal
Translator: Legge
In this situation, he would die if he did not deal with it properly.
It was clear that the Azure Dragon on the Bronze Square Tripod had expended a lot of energy after the battle.
Furthermore, even in its peak condition, the Azure Dragon was merely able to suppress the Soul Summoning Banner—it was definitely not a match for a Perfected Immortal!
Ever since Sword Immortal Yue Hua descended, the Azure Dragon closed its eyes once more and retracted its aura—it was clear that it wanted to hide.
The Bronze Square Tripod was sentient and this was definitely not a coincidence. There was a high chance that it realized the danger!
Against the accusation of the gray-robed Earth Immortal, Su Zimo did not dare to be careless and replied calmly without any panic.
Many cultivators scanned Su Zimo with their spirit consciousnesses and frowned as well.
As Su Zimo had said, he was only a Grade 6 Black Immortal.
Even if the Soul Summoning Banner wanted to seek a master, it could not have chosen such a weak cultivator!
Furthermore, if this Black Immortal had truly taken away the Soul Summoning Banner, he would have been scared out of his wits against such an accusation—how could he be so calm?
Many cultivators merely glanced at Su Zimo and pouted their lips, not taking the gray-robed Earth Immortal's words seriously.
Everyone's first reaction was that the gray-robed Earth Immortal merely wanted a scapegoat.
When the gray-robed Earth Immortal heard Su Zimo's reply, he looked at Sword Immortal Yue Hua hurriedly and explained, "Exalted Immortal, this person definitely took the Soul Summoning Banner! I saw it with my own eyes. It's absolutely true!"
Sword Immortal Yue Hua glared at Su Zimo and smiled gently. "It's indeed strange for a mere Black Immortal to be here."
Pausing for a moment, he changed the topic and said coldly, "However, if we can't find the Soul Summoning Banner on that person…"
Sword Immortal Yue Hua turned to look at the gray-robed Earth Immortal and hollered frostily, "You'll have to die!"
The gray-robed Earth Immortal shuddered in fear and gulped, nodding with a pale expression.
Suddenly, he regretted standing out.
But now, he had no way out.
Sword Immortal Yue Hua shifted his gaze towards Su Zimo who was not far away. With a slight shift of his spirit consciousness, he removed the storage bag on Su Zimo's waist.
Under normal circumstances, storage bags were the most secretive and private items on a cultivator's body. They could not be shown to outsiders, not even their closest kin.
Stealing a cultivator's storage bag was no different from killing them.
Su Zimo's expression was as cold as ever.
However, he could not move against the might of Sword Immortal Yue Hua's spirit consciousness!
The difference in strength between them was way too great!
Sword Immortal Yue Hua opened Su Zimo's storage bag and took a rough look with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Although there was no Soul Summoning Banner in the storage bag, there were indeed many things inside. There were even some storage bags of Earth Immortals!
The treasures and wealth in that storage bag had far surpassed the scope of a Grade 6 Black Immortal.
Even the Earth Immortals present could not match him.
"No,"
Sword Immortal Yue Hua threw the storage bag casually beneath his feet without taking another look.
The items in the storage bag were not worthy of his attention.
When he heard that, the gray-robed Earth Immortal at the side was so scared that his legs went limp. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Exalted Immortal, please spare me! Please spare me! I really saw that divine dragon burrow into that person's body. If I'm lying, my body and Essence Spirit will be destroyed and I'll die without a burial ground!"
Sword Immortal Yue Hua's expression was indifferent. Suddenly, he reached out and pulled Su Zimo closer through the void, grabbing the latter's throat!
"Let me see what's in your consciousness!"
Sword Immortal Yue Hua smirked coldly and channeled his spirit consciousness, piercing into Su Zimo's consciousness!
That action was even more violent!
The other cultivators shook their heads when they saw that.
The consciousness was an important place for cultivators.
Even if that person did not die, he would definitely suffer an irrecoverable injury if such a massive spirit consciousness barged in and scanned him brazenly.
Of course, there was no pity on the faces of many cultivators.
In the eyes of everyone, Su Zimo was just an ant that had ascended from the lower world. Even if he was killed directly, nobody would bat an eyelid.
Su Zimo's consciousness was completely exposed against the spirit consciousness of Sword Immortal Yue Hua.
Apart from a dull yellow lotus platform, there was a battered Bronze Tripod buried in the yellow sand and nothing else.
Actually, before Sword Immortal Yue Hua appeared, Su Zimo had already vaguely realized that the situation was bad when Heaven Immortal Luo Yang and Mei Ji returned.
Therefore, he made preparations in advance and sent the Nine Heavens Living Soil into his consciousness, enveloping the Creation Lotus Platform and Bronze Square Tripod.
Without his activation, the Nine Heavens Living Soil would look like a handful of yellow sand without anything special about it.
Sword Immortal Yue Hua could not recognize the Nine Heavens Living Soil at all.
As for the Bronze Square Tripod, even King Yun You made a wrong judgment back then. Given Sword Immortal Yue Hua's judgment and experience, there was even less of a chance he could tell.
Sword Immortal Yue Hua was a little disappointed that he had gained nothing.
He withdrew his spirit consciousness and tossed his arm casually.
Bang!
Su Zimo's body smashed against the stone wall in the corner of the abyss uncontrollably. He was severely injured and spat out a mouthful of blood. His gaze dimmed as he slid down from the stone wall slowly.
More than half of Su Zimo's tendons and bones were shattered and his organs were ruptured with a casual throw from Sword Immortal Yue Hua!
If it was any other Black Immortal, they would definitely not survive against such an impact.
However, Su Zimo was the Green Lotus True Body after all and possessed immense regeneration capabilities. Even though he was severely injured, he could still maintain his lifeforce.
Su Zimo sat limply in a corner of the abyss with a lowered head. However, his eyes were filled with deep rage!
Even if Sword Immortal Yue Hua could not find the Soul Summoning Banner on Su Zimo, he had no intention of letting the latter off!
He snatched Su Zimo's storage bag, probed his consciousness and even wanted to take his life in the end!
That series of actions triggered the rage and killing intent in Su Zimo's heart!
From Sword Immortal Yue Hua, he could see the coldness and ruthlessness towards low-level cultivators like him and those who ascended from the lower worlds.
This was the cruelty of the upper world!
However, even if Su Zimo was indignant, he was completely helpless against the Perfected One realm Sword Immortal Yue Hua.
After throwing Su Zimo down, Sword Immortal Yue Hua turned around and looked at the gray-robed Earth Immortal kneeling on the ground not far away, sighing gently.
"You sure are bold to dare to lie to me…"
Although Sword Immortal Yue Hua's tone was not sharp, the gray-robed Earth Immortal's face was ashen.
"E-Exalted Immortal, I truly… I didn't…"
The gray-robed Earth Immortal's mind was in a mess and he was already incoherent.
Sword Immortal Yue Hua said indifferently, "Since that's the case, I'll do as you wish today. I'll destroy your body and Essence Spirit and let you die without a burial ground!"
Before his sentence was finished, he waved his sleeves gently and a blinding sword beam burst forth, engulfing the gray-robed Earth Immortal instantly!
"Ah!"
A short, tragic cry sounded.
Right in front of everyone, the gray-robed Earth Immortal was sliced into pieces by the sword beam, turning into a blood mist that dissipated in midair.
