Chapter 917 - Demon
The moment that voice sounded, the expressions of Nangong Ling and the other two changed!
Nangong Ling clenched his fists and grit his teeth. “The people of Wind Cloud City are truly relentless. They actually chased us all the way here!”
Liu Hanyan withdrew a black stone from her storage bag and declared, “We don’t want this Lava Crystal anymore. If you guys want it, feel free to take it.”
Nangong Ling and the other two did not realize who their opponents were.
Su Zimo stood up and said indifferently, “They don’t want the stone. Keep it.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk! Kid, you’re the smartest!”
The sinister voice sounded once more. “Initially, I intended to kill you along the way and capture the three of them. But now, it seems like you have quite a few secrets on you as well.”
“Hehe, I can’t bear to lose them.”
Nangong Ling and the other two exchanged glances and seemed to have realized something, looking flustered.
“Who are you?!”
Nangong Ling took a deep breath and asked again.
The moment he said that, seven figures appeared in the surrounding darkness and surrounded their spirit vessel in seven directions!
The seven of them looked at Su Zimo’s group of four coldly. Some of them had mocking, teasing gazes and some of them were filled with killing intent!
The seven of them wore the same attire and there was a dark flame tattooed on their sleeves – it was eerie!
Hellfire Hall!
The expressions of Nangong Ling and the other two turned extremely terrible as well!
The enmity between Hellfire Hall and Hundred Refinement Sect was irreconcilable.
They knew very well that they would not have a good ending if they were to fall into the hands of Hellfire Hall!
It was only when their spirit consciousnesses swept past the seven cultivators of Hellfire Hall that their hearts sank and their limbs turned cold!
Void Reversions!
All seven of them were Void Reversions!
The difference between them was a major cultivation realm!
Even one Void Reversion was enough to kill them, let alone seven of them!
At Void Reversion realm, one’s Essence Spirit would not be afraid of the strong winds or the scorching sun. However, the Dharmic powers that could be controlled by one’s spirit would be even thicker and more boundless.
What was even more frightening was that the Essence Spirit of a Void Reversion was so strong that he could already launch spirit consciousness attacks!
Nascent Souls could not withstand a spirit consciousness attack!
This was a suppression of a major cultivation realm!
Ru Xuan was furious and her face was pale from fright. However, she mustered her courage and shouted, “Y-You guys from Hellfire Hall, how dare you send s-seven Void Reversions to deal with us four Nascent Souls! You’re s-shameless and immoral!”
At the end of her sentence, Ru Xuan’s voice turned softer and softer and she lost her aura.
Hellfire Hall was a group of unscrupulous cultivators to begin with. There was no morality to speak of with them.
“Fufu.”
The seven Void Reversions of Hellfire Hall stood around with their arms crossed and sneers in their eyes.
Right from the beginning, Su Zimo did not say anything.
He did not attack either.
If there were only seven Void Reversions, he had an 80% chance of killing all seven of them with his trump cards!
The real reason why Su Zimo did not make a move was because there was still someone from Hellfire Hall who had yet to appear!
This was the true trump card of Hellfire Palace!
Su Zimo stared at the dark night ahead and pursed his lips without saying anything.
Before long, a figure walked out slowly in the night.
The intruder’s body was hunched and he supported himself with a walking stick. His beard and hair were white and he staggered as though he could die at any moment!
Su Zimo narrowed his eyes and suppressed his killing intent once more.
Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord!
Although the intruder was on the brink of death, the aura he gave off was definitely unique to Dharma Characteristic experts!
Su Zimo had cultivated two unprecedented Essence Spirits and had the ability to kill those at a higher cultivation realm.
However, the difference of two major realms was like a huge chasm that he could not cross!
The power of a Dharma Characteristic was way too terrifying and he could not withstand it!
Back in Thousand Demon Valley, Su Zimo had used all his trump cards.
He had activated his dragonification and used the Divine Phoenix Bone to injure the Overlord of Levitating Goat Peak by surprise. Despite that, he was almost killed by a single palm strike!
It was clear how terrifying Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords were!
Later on, if Dao Lord Extreme Fire had not appeared, he would have been killed by the Overlord of Levitating Goat Peak!
Even though the old man looked old and was in his twilight years, Su Zimo did not dare to act rashly.
If he was alone, he would have many choices.
The safest way was to catch them off guard and make use of Blood Escape to break out of the encirclement and flee far away!
When he released the Blood Escape Art with all his might, even with the Overlord of Levitating Goat Peak’s strength, the latter could barely keep up and only managed to maintain the distance.
The Dharma Characteristic old man before him looked like he was at the end of his life and his blood qi was weak – there was no way he could catch up to Su Zimo!
But now, Su Zimo had Nangong Ling and the other two beside him.
He could not abandon the three of them and escape alone.
Or perhaps, Su Zimo could choose to use the Divine Phoenix Bone and attempt to fight the old man head-on!
However, there was also immense danger involved!
Given Su Zimo’s strength, he could not activate the divine phoenix bone on his own accord.
He had to rely on his opponent!
Even if he could successfully activate the Divine Phoenix Bone, he might not be able to kill the old man before him!
The uncertainty was way too great!
If he could not kill them in one strike, he and Nangong Ling would not be able to escape death!
As his thoughts raced, Su Zimo’s gaze flickered and he calmed down. He retracted his killing intent and continued waiting for an opportunity.
The more dangerous the situation was, the calmer he had to be!
Compared to Su Zimo, although Nangong Ling and the other two were older, they were flustered and did not know what to do!
Nangong Ling and the other two could detect the cultivation realms of the seven Void Reversions around them but they could not detect the old man’s cultivation.
What did that mean?
The intruder was a Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord!
While Su Zimo was thinking of countermeasures, the minds of Nangong Ling and the other two were already in chaos.
If the seven Void Reversions made the three of them feel that their chances of survival were slim…
The appearance of the Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord left them in despair!
In front of Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords, Nascent Souls were like mortals before Golden Cores – they had no chance at all!
Liu Hanyan laughed self-deprecatingly. “To think that the three of us juniors are worthy of a personal visit from a Dharma Characteristic of Hellfire Hall.”
“The three of you are naturally not worthy,”
The old man grinned and the wrinkles on his face were already stacked. “However, the Scarlet Flame Heart Sutra in your possession is worth it!”
Nangong Ling and the other two felt their hearts turn cold.
The old man continued, “After capturing you guys, Hundred Refinement Sect will definitely lose in the Weapon Refinement Competition a month later.”
“After I squeeze everything out of you, I might even be able to use you three brats to lure out your master…”
“Don’t you think it’s worth it to have a strategy that kills three birds with one stone? Tsk, tsk!”
Nangong Ling and the other two were ashen when they heard that!
There was only a single thought in the minds of Nangong Ling and the other two.
Commit suicide!
Right then, a tremendous might descended and Nangong Ling and the other two felt like they could not move at all – they could not even send their Essence Spirits out!
The old man said coldly, “You’ll only die if you fall into my hands! Otherwise, you won’t even have the chance to commit suicide!”
“Demon!”
“You’re a demon!”
Ru Xuan broke down completely and cried loudly.
Nangong Ling and Liu Hanyan were also scared out of their wits as their bodies trembled.
