2235 Suspicious
Even after killing Immortal Tai Hua, Su Zimo did not let down his guard. Instead, he turned around slowly and looked in the direction diagonally behind him.
In the sandstorm, a figure stood there, faintly visible. He had been watching the battle for a long time and emitted a powerful aura without leaving.
The other reincarnated immortal, Feng Yin!
Su Zimo did not know Feng Yin well and knew nothing about the character and methods of this reincarnated immortal.
Worried that this person would take advantage of the situation and attack him, Su Zimo did not dare to be careless!
Actually, Feng Yin had indeed thought of taking the opportunity to kill Su Zimo at that moment!
The methods displayed by Su Zimo had already made him feel deep fear!
If he was in Immortal Tai Hua's position, he would not be able to escape death against such methods either.
This person was definitely his greatest opponent for the Earth Ranking!
It would naturally be best if such a huge threat could be resolved beforehand.
However, on second thought, Feng Yin realized that Su Zimo was already at the end of his rope and was of no threat.
As a reincarnated immortal, if he were to hit someone when they were down in front of everyone, even if he won, he would be mocked by the world.
The elimination round was about to end and the ranking battle would begin soon.
There was no way Su Zimo could recover much Essence Qi and stamina in such a short period of time and he had already used up all his trump cards.
At that time, he could still defeat Su Zimo openly in the ranking battle. There was no need for him to attack here and become a topic of discussion.
Furthermore, if he attacked now, he would definitely offend Heaven and Earth Academy—the losses outweighed the gains.
In the ranking battle, he could defeat or kill Su Zimo legitimately and there was nothing Heaven and Earth Academy could say.
Feng Yin stood there for a long time. Most importantly, he was shocked by the scene of Su Zimo killing Immortal Tai Hua!
36 greater divine powers were released in succession!
He used his physical body to defend against a supreme divine power head-on!
Thereafter, he released a supreme divine power that could exhaust a person's lifespan instantly and even cause their lifespan to vanish in an irreversible manner!
Such methods were way too terrifying when released by an Earth Immortal!
This battle had indeed shocked Feng Yin.
Taking a deep breath of air, Feng Yin composed himself and thought about it. Finally, he smiled indifferently and turned to leave.
No matter what, he was the biggest winner for the Earth Ranking this time round.
Su Zimo had exhausted all his methods and had expended too much energy; he was injured and could no longer fight him.
The rest were nothing to fear!
The square outside the Nine Heavens was already noisy.
The ranking battle was the main event for every Earth Ranking competition.
After the baptism of the elimination round, the final hundred paragons and monster incarnates would fight one another in pairs—that was the greatest show.
However, nobody expected such an intense battle to break out in the elimination round!
"Initially, I thought that with the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect joining forces and the presence of a reincarnated immortal, paragons and monster incarnates such as Qing Chenzi and Tie Han, there should be no doubt about the outcome. Who would have thought…"
"It was way too tragic! There were 22 Earth Immortals from the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect who took part in the elimination round this time round. 18 of them died in this battle!"
"Even the reincarnated immortal is dead. The Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect suffered immense losses this time round. This is truly disastrous for them."
When they heard the discussions around them, the expressions of Prince Yuan Zuo and Heaven Immortal White Sea were extremely grim. Dark shadows covered their faces and their clenched fists trembled slightly as they tried their best to suppress the anger in their hearts.
"Sigh, prior to this, Prince Yuan Zuo even declared that he wanted to teach Heaven and Earth Academy a lesson and remove them from the Earth Ranking. Right now…"
"Hurry and stop talking. This incident is already extremely humiliating for the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect."
"Only one disciple of Heaven and Earth Academy died. On their side, almost everyone is dead."
Compared to Prince Yuan Zuo and Heaven Immortal White Sea, the elders of Heaven and Earth Academy were naturally invigorated and in high spirits.
However, the elders still felt a hint of sadness.
They could not let go of Ye Fei's death.
In the seats of the Pang Clan, the Pang clansmen looked at the tragic death of Immortal Tai Hua in the Nine Heavens and frowned with grim expressions.
"The way Tai Hua died was exactly the same as Pang Yu. Could there be more to Pang Yu's death?"
"Could this supreme divine power be imparted to this lad by Yang Ruoxu of Heaven and Earth Academy?"
A few Pang clansmen sent voice transmissions with their spirit consciousnesses.
"It's not so easy to comprehend a supreme divine power of time."
"From what I know, the reason why Pang Yu died that day was because of another outer sect disciple of Heaven and Earth Academy. Go back and check who that outer sect disciple is!"
Prior to this, although the Pang clansmen knew the cause, none of them took this outer sect disciple to heart.
No one would link the death of a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal to an outer sect disciple of the academy who was an Earth Immortal.
But now, the death of Immortal Tai Hua had aroused the suspicions of the Pang Clan!
Nine Heavens.
Naturally, Su Zimo knew that he would definitely be noticed by the Pang Clan if he released Fleeting Moment.
However, he had no other choice if he wanted to kill Immortal Tai Hua as soon as possible.
Furthermore, he was the one who caused Pang Yu's death and Senior Brother Yang Ruoxu was the one who bore all the pressure and hostility for him!
This matter should not be shouldered by Yang Ruoxu.
He had obtained many treasures in the Nine Heavens this time round and the Hell Suppression Tripod was about to be completely repaired.
At that time, when the four Sacred Souls awakened, they would be comparable to at least four top-tier Heaven Immortals!
It would not be so easy for the Pang Clan to kill him either.
Furthermore, when he returned this time round, he would begin to cultivate in seclusion and break through to the Heaven Immortal realm!
The Pang Clan had no chance at all. No matter how bold they were, they would not dare to charge into the academy to take revenge.
Su Zimo looked at Immortal Tai Hua beneath his feet and removed the latter's storage bag before putting it away.
Thereafter, Su Zimo used his palm like a saber and slashed down along Immortal Tai Hua's throat, severing his head!
"This is the outcome of anyone who tries to kill me!"
Su Zimo yanked Immortal Tai Hua's pale hair and raised the head high. Gazing at the firmaments, his eyes revealed a sinister glint as he shouted.
That action caused an uproar outside the Nine Heavens!
This was a provocation to Prince Yuan Zuo and Heaven Immortal White Sea.
This was a declaration of war against the two of them!
"B*stard, ant!"
Prince Yuan Zuo grit his teeth in anger with a dark expression.
The outcome of this battle was equivalent to a slap to the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect.
Apart from the chaos caused by Feng Cantian in the past, the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom had never been humiliated like this ever since it was established.
It was the same for Flying Immortal Sect.
However, this time round, not only did Flying Immortal Sect lose all face, even Zither Immortal Meng Yao's reputation was damaged.
What sort of a figure was the dignified Zither Immortal? What sort of bearing did she possess?!
In order to deal with a Grade 8 Earth Immortal, they did not hesitate to invite a reincarnated immortal out of seclusion. Although they mobilized such a large force, they were completely wiped out—this was definitely a pitiable outcome.
Nobody knew how the Zither Immortal would react once she knew about this.
