2421 Disappearance of Magnificence
On the battlefield, Su Zimo was completely overwhelmed, as though he could be suppressed at any moment!
Su Zimo's expression turned cold.
Up till this point of the battle, he was disadvantaged and had been defending almost the entire time—it was not because he did not have any trump cards to counterattack.
If he was alone, he would naturally have no qualms about advancing or retreating.
But now, he had Lin Luo by his side.
He did not want to cause too much trouble and implicate Lin Luo, causing the two of them to be trapped here.
Initially, they were on the side of reason in this conflict.
If he were to start a massacre in Langfeng City, it would be difficult to explain things clearly.
This was the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain. He and Lin Luo were in a foreign land and could not act rashly without considering the consequences.
There were many Perfected Immortals presiding over Langfeng City!
Any single one of them would cause unpredictable consequences!
Narrowing his gaze, Su Zimo glared at Heaven Immortal Bai Yu who was still attacking him and said in a deep voice, "Bai Yu, the Essence Spirit of the Breaking Army's First Boss is in my hands. As long as I search his soul, the truth will naturally be revealed!"
"Humph!"
Heaven Immortal Bai Yu sneered, "I don't care about the truth! The two of you b*stards deserve to die for openly going against the Imperial Army in Langfeng City!"
Heaven Immortal Bai Yu had no intention of stopping his attacks and continued spouting filthy words.
Su Zimo's expression was dark.
From the beginning of the conflict till now, although he and Lin Luo attacked, they restrained themselves and tried their best to take into account the big picture.
Although Su Zimo injured Kong Han, it was clear that he held back and did not take advantage of the situation to chase after him.
Lin Luo merely restrained Kong Han as well and none of the surrounding Imperial Army soldiers died.
But now, Heaven Immortal Bai Yu's aggressiveness made Su Zimo increasingly impatient.
"Don't push your luck!"
Su Zimo spoke once more, his voice deep and cold.
"Hahahaha!"
Su Zimo's words caused a series of laughter in the surrounding crowd.
"Did I hear wrongly? This Grade 5 Heaven Immortal is actually threatening Heaven Immortal Bai Yu?"
"He lost his mind after being forced into a corner. That's why he's spouting nonsense."
The initially tense atmosphere relaxed significantly after the mockery of his words began.
Kong Han, who was under Lin Luo's sword, sneered as well and pouted. "Not only is your Dao companion bold, he's also arrogant. He truly doesn't know when he's at death's door."
"Mind your own business first!"
The sword in Lin Luo's hand vibrated as she hollered.
On the battlefield.
When Heaven Immortal Bai Yu heard Su Zimo's threat, he burst into laughter. "B*stard, so what if I want to push my luck? What can you do to me?!"
Su Zimo's gaze turned cold. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and channeled his spirit consciousness wildly. He conjured divine powers with both hands and pointed at Heaven Immortal Bai Yu.
"Fleeting Moment!"
Su Zimo spat out two words gently.
An incredible divine power descended instantly and struck Heaven Immortal Bai Yu.
"Mmm?"
Heaven Immortal Bai Yu frowned with a grim expression.
Time divine power?
Be it in terms of talent, combat strength or knowledge, the number one Heaven Immortal of Langfeng City naturally surpassed others.
After Su Zimo's supreme divine power was released, Heaven Immortal Bai Yu could sense the power contained in Fleeting Moment.
He did not dare to be careless.
All time divine powers were extremely powerful and could not be underestimated.
"Feather Immortal Ascension!"
Heaven Immortal Bai Yu made a prompt decision and released his trump card as well!
White feathers fell off from his body one after another and transformed into streams of immortal qi that gathered and circled around him, as though they wanted to carry him to ascend in daylight!
Normally speaking, Fleeting Moment was only a supreme divine power.
Most supreme divine powers, including Feather Immortal Ascension, were enough to defend against and neutralize the power of time within.
However, just as Fleeting Moment and Feather Immortal Ascension were clashing, a strange drumbeat sounded beside Heaven Immortal Bai Yu's ears.
The sound of the drum was not shocking or loud. Instead, it seemed long and drawn out. In fact, it even had a hint of twilight and lifelessness.
"This is…"
Heaven Immortal Bai Yu was stunned for a moment.
Immediately after, he felt his lifespan decrease rapidly at an unimaginable speed!
There was only endless fear in Heaven Immortal Bai Yu's eyes.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Heaven Immortal Bai Yu released another supreme divine power followed by a secret skill. He tore apart a talisman and unleashed a sound domain secret skill as well!
In that instant, Heaven Immortal Bai Yu released almost all his trump cards!
…
The surrounding cultivators were stunned as they looked at Heaven Immortal Bai Yu. He stood on the spot and released many trump cards, as though he had gone mad from experiencing a great shock.
But soon, the gazes of many cultivators changed.
In midair, Heaven Immortal Bai Yu panted heavily. The fear in his eyes and the panic on his face did not dissipate.
The power of the supreme divine power finally dissipated.
The mysterious and distant drumbeat vanished completely as well.
The crisis was resolved?
Heaven Immortal Bai Yu felt a sense of joy from escaping death.
He could guarantee that if he had reacted slower earlier on, he might have been a corpse by now!
What a terrifying divine power!
He had to release so many trump cards to negate it.
Heaven Immortal Bai Yu's heart turned cold as he raised his head instinctively and looked towards Su Zimo.
Strangely, the green-robed scholar did not continue attacking him. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back and looked at him indifferently as well.
"Fufu…"
Heaven Immortal Bai Yu forced a smile. "That was your final trump card, right? Unfortunately, I managed to defend against it!"
"If that's all you've got, you'll die next!"
Heaven Immortal Bai Yu perked up once more and said murderously.
Even so, he felt that something was not right with his body.
Su Zimo was still motionless with a mocking look in his eyes.
Heaven Immortal Bai Yu's heart sank.
Suddenly, he realized that his surroundings were unusually quiet, as though everyone had gone silent.
He looked over instinctively.
Countless cultivators in the surroundings were looking at him with strange gazes, seemingly in…
Pity?
Fear?
Heaven Immortal Bai Yu took a deep breath and suddenly realized that his blood qi was much weaker than before.
Initially, he thought that he had expended too much energy in the battle earlier on. But now, something seemed to be amiss.
A gentle breeze blew and a strand of long hair on Heaven Immortal Bai Yu's forehead brushed past his eyes gently.
It was a strand of grayish-white hair.
Heaven Immortal Bai Yu looked at his hands.
The skin on his palm was no longer fair and smooth. Instead, it looked rough and dark, filled with dense old wrinkles.
"My lifespan…"
Heaven Immortal Bai Yu murmured softly with widened eyes.
He was originally 150,000 years old and was at his peak for a Heaven Immortal with a lifespan of 300,000 years.
But now, he only had 20,000 years to live!
Instantly, his magnificence had disappeared!
Right now, the person standing in midair was no longer the number one Heaven Immortal of Langfeng City, but an old man in his twilight years!
