Chapter 413 - Retreat
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
In this attack, Su Mo put every single bit of his strength.
The Five Elements Genuine Vitality in his nine Spiritual Spirals was exerted to the maximum, as well as his mighty physical strength. His sword will was completely unleashed, and he even activated four Martial Souls simultaneously, not to mention that he also used Phantom Avatar.
Four rays of invincible sword radiance slashed down, aiming for Elder Xue Tan's head.
Since Su Mo had only trained Phantom Avatar up to the Minor Completion realm, the three avatars had half the power of his Genuine Vitality Cultivation.
However, that didn't mean they were weak at all. What's more, it was enough to counter an average Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm martial artist for a few moves.
"Blood Spirit Shield!"
Since Elder Xue Tan couldn't dodge Su Mo's blow in time, he had to try his hardest to defend against it.
He gave up the offensive and took a passive stance instead because he knew that he couldn't block Su Mo's attack without putting in all his effort.
Endless sanguine light burst out of Elder Xue Tan's body to instantly form a gigantic shield above his head.
It was a 10 feet long round shield with a bright red color. Blood Qi on the front of the shield turned into many phantom ghosts, looking extremely scary.
This was Elder Xue Tan's lifesaving move. An average Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm martial artist could never break it. Even an expert at Lv 3 Enlightenment Realm couldn't break through Blood Spirit Shield's defense without enough strength.
Countless disciples of Gale Island watched as four rays of sword radiance struck on the bloody shield.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion was heard, followed by a fearsome air blast that swept across the surrounding area.
The attack from Su Mo's real body struck the shield first, causing it to falter but failing to break it.
Just a millisecond later, the attacks from his three avatars landed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With three more explosions, the sanguine shield was blown up into red lights that painted the sky.
The four rays of sword radiance were just merely slowed down by the powerful Blood Spirit Shield, and they kept striking toward Elder Xue Tan's forehead.
"Oh no!"
the frightened Elder Xue Tan didn't have time to counter with another move, so he subconsciously used his claws to block the attack.
Slash!
The invincible sword radiance tore through his claws instantly, before landing on his forehead violently.
Slash!
Elder Xue Tan's Body-protection Genuine Vitality shattered in an instant, allowing the four rays of dazzling sword radiance to cut straight into his head.
Blood splattered as his body was torn into pieces, and he died instantly!
"Devour!"
Su Mo yelled and released his Devouring Martial Soul again to devour Elder Xue Tan's blood and Vital Spirit.
"Elephants Strength Skill!"
Su Mo immediately cultivated the Elephant's Strength Skill to absorb the massive amount of Vital Spirit and blood Qi.
Although he had received the 'Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill', Su Mo had had no time to cultivate it yet, so he could only cultivate Elephant's Strength Skill at the moment. As for his cultivation, he wanted to take a few days to stabilize his foundation before breaking through.
Rumble!
Massive amounts of Vital Spirit and blood Qi were absorbed by Su Mo's body and bones, while a gigantic elephant shadow appeared above him.
Su Mo's physical strength was rocketing.
Having killed Elder Xue Tan, Su Mo unavoidably caused an uproar amongst the spectators.
Countless outer and inner disciples on Gale Island were dazed to witness such a scene!
Even people who knew Su Mo, such as Niu Xiaohu, Zhou Xin, Ling Muchen, and Lu Shaoyun, were equally stunned.
Powerful! He's too powerful!
He couldn't even be called a peerless Martial Spirit for killing an expert of Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm as a Lv 8 True Spirit Realm martial artist! He's an ungodly Martial Spirit!
Jin Yan was also closely monitoring Su Mo's fight against Elder Xue Tan while he was battling Qing Pingzi. His face instantly paled when he saw Elder Xue Tan's death.
"This...!"
Jin Yan was speechless. Su Mo's ungodliness sent a chill up his spine.
"Everyone, retreat!"
Jin Yan shouted loudly before he abandoned Qing Pingzi without hesitation and escaped hastily.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
People from Scorching Sun Sect left their opponents behind and escaped with frightened expressions.
Su Mo seemed now invincible, so staying behind meant the end to their lives.
Although Lil Eight had killed many of them, Scorching Sun Sect still seemed to have over 300 people alive after the series of battles.
They all rapidly ran away back to their sect.
Meanwhile, the experts from Gale Island that submitted to Cold-blood Hall didn't run away. They were staring at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Hmph, do you think you can get away?"
Su Mo scoffed, jumped onto the purple snake and said, "Lil Eight, get them!"
Hiss!
Lil Eight turned into a bolt of purple lightning and chased after the people from Scorching Sun Sect at an extreme speed, soon disappearing from everyone's view.
"Highest Elder, leave them to me and take care of this mess!" Su Mo's voice came from afar.
Highest Elder Qing Pingzi just looked toward the direction of Su Mo's departure dazedly.
A while later, Qing Pingzi finally took a deep breath and ordered the rest to clean up the mess.
...
50 kilometers away from Gale Island, both the Masters of the Sky Rapier Sect and Sky Yuan Sect were equally stunned.
Master of the Sky Rapier Sect regained his composure after a long while and murmured, "Su Mo...invincible in all Sky Moon Country!"
The beautiful lady who was the Master of Sky Yuan Sect nodded subconsciously.
"Indeed! His talent is more than ungodly!"
On the other side, the emperor of Skymoon Country and the 13th prince Luo Qianfan were all taken aback.
"Father, what do you think?" Luo Qianfan asked softly.
"This...!"
The emperor was unable to answer him as he was speechless.
After a long while, he took a deep breath to calm himself down, and said with a sigh, "This boy's future will be unfathomable if he continues to grow at this rate!"
Luo Qianfan nodded in agreement, paused to think to himself for a bit and then said, "Now that Su Mo had killed the people of Cold-blood Hall and foiled their plan, I'm afraid that Cold-blood Hall won't let him off!"
"Yeah!"
hearing that the emperor gently nodded and said, "It isn't impossible for us to help him during this time of crisis!"
In the meantime, Su Mo was rapidly chasing after Scorching Sun Sect on Lil Eight's back.
Lil Eight's speed was extremely fast, way beyond any True Spirit Realm martial artists. It was even slightly faster than a Lv 1 Enlightenment Realm martial artist like Jin Yan.
Su Mo was quickly closing the gap between them. With Lil Eight's speed, he'd be able to catch up in just a few breaths.
Standing on its back, he suddenly discovered that Lil Eight had changed physically.
