Chapter 1280: Danger Yan Beichen froze on the spot, his eyes widened and his lips trembled as he looked at everything in disbelief. He wanted to shout but could not make a single sound! Qin Pianran’s lifeforce drained rapidly. Her Essence Spirit was pierced by the sword beam and even an immortal wouldn’t be able to save her. The reason why she did not die immediately was because she had consumed the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir previously and her Essence Spirit was not destroyed on the spot. Qin Pianran turned back slowly and looked at Yan Beichen in the distance with a gentle expression. Her eyes revealed a deep reluctance and longing. Their time together was too short. Initially, they wanted to leave the cultivation world and stay together for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, everything was over. “Beichen, I’m… s-sorry,” Qin Pianran’s tone was weak, as though every single word she said was draining her of her life rapidly! “I… c-can’t be with y-you anymore. Y-You have to… t-take care…” Qin Pianran could no longer breathe. She felt miserable at the thought that Yan Beichen would be left alone and had to endure unimaginable torment after her departure. She could not help but sigh and fall stiffly forward. The white clouds in the skies shifted. Countless images flashed through her mind, all of them scenes of her and Yan Beichen in this bamboo forest and wooden house over the years. Finally, there was only a figure left in her eyes. She closed her eyes with that figure. Yan Beichen did not move at all and merely watched everything in a daze. His body trembled slightly and he felt a sharp pain in his chest, as though there was a sharp weapon that was poking him repeatedly! He had once said that he would never let go even if Qin Pianran wanted to leave! He had promised Qin Pianran that he would stay by her side for the rest of his life and never leave her! But now, he could only watch Qin Pianran leave helplessly! Why? What have I done wrong?! What did Pianran do wrong?! We wanted to leave the cultivation world. Why did you guys deny that from us and insist on hunting us down to tear us apart?! Yan Beichen’s fingers were dug deeply into the mud. His eyes were bloodshot and his heart was filled with endless hatred! He hated the world, Dao Lord Immortal Sword, Dao Lord Cloud Rain, Sword Sect, the cultivation world and everything else! In fact, he even hated himself! He hated himself for not realizing the danger earlier and leaving this place! He hated himself for being useless. He could only watch as his beloved died in front of him! The hatred surged into the skies endlessly, almost materializing and piercing through the world! A series of fiend qi appeared within Yan Beichen’s body, pitch-black and extremely terrifying. In the depths of the bamboo forest, a fiend saber that was initially asleep gradually awakened under the stimulation of that hatred! The fiend saber trembled slightly. The immense hatred made it extremely excited. This was true hatred! If one had not experienced such a heart-wrenching change, they would never be able to comprehend the true power of the Hatred Sutra! Apart from its first master, even Dao Lord Hatred did not meet the requirements of the Hatred Sutra. That was the reason why Dao Lord Hatred’s opening was discovered by Su Zimo during their fight and countered by many incantations of the Buddhist monasteries. Su Zimo clenched his fists with a cold expression. The entire process happened too quickly for him to react. Immortal Sword wanted Dao Lord Cloud Rain to kill Yan Beichen so Su Zimo could only save Yan Beichen first. If he chose to save Qin Pianran, Yan Beichen would die! This was Immortal Sword’s scheme! This scheme sent three people to their graves! Dao Lord Cloud Rain, Elder Qin and Qin Pianran were all dead! After Immortal Sword killed Qin Pianran, he sneered and transformed into a sword beam that sped into the distance. There were many escape techniques in the cultivation world. The speed of Sword Escape was definitely ranked at the front! Immortal Sword believed that given his cultivation realm, Su Zimo would not be able to stop him if he wanted to escape! “Immortal Sword, let’s see where you can escape to!” Su Zimo’s killing intent was already at its limits. At the sight of Immortal Sword’s escape, he roared and endless lightning surged from his body. At the same time, a pair of Dharmic power wings grew behind him. His body transformed into a golden beam of light as he chased after Immortal Sword. Lightning Escape, Ethereal Wings and Boundless Golden Light were released at the same time. Su Zimo’s speed was at his limits and he was even faster than Immortal Sword! “Hmm?” Before Immortal Sword could escape far, he felt a chilling killing intent approaching him. It was like a beam of light piercing his back and his scalp felt numb! He turned back and gasped! Su Zimo was right behind him and had already caught up. The distance between them was closing continuously! At this rate, Su Zimo would be able to catch up to him before long! “Impossible!” Immortal Sword’s heart skipped a beat and his eyes were filled with panic. “Desolate Martial is only at the Dharma Characteristic realm. How can his movement technique reach such a level?!” Finally, a hint of panic flashed through Immortal Sword’s eyes. Su Zimo’s strength had completely exceeded his expectations! “Don’t panic!” Suddenly, a voice sounded in his mind. Immortal Sword was delighted when he heard that voice. With this person by his side, he no longer had to escape and could turn around at any time to join forces with this person to kill Desolate Martial! That was because this was none other than Heavenly Secrets of Enigma Palace! The only thing he knew was that Heavenly Secrets was at the Conjoint Body realm. However, even he did not know just how strong Heavenly Secrets was. The successors of Enigma Palace had always been extremely mysterious. However, one thing was certain – Heavenly Secrets’s combat strength was definitely above his! Now that Desolate Martial’s three Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristics had already dissipated and he released hundreds of Heaven Slaying Sword Qi, the power of his Essence Spirit was most likely almost gone. If the two of them joined forces, they had a 100% chance of killing Desolate Martial! Furthermore, Heavenly Secrets was still hidden in stealth! Even he did not notice when Heavenly Secrets arrived. The speed of Immortal Sword gradually slowed down. The distance between him and Su Zimo was closing continuously! When it was less than a hundred feet away, Immortal Sword suddenly turned around and an extremely sharp spirit consciousness burst forth from his glabella. It formed a long sword that stabbed towards Su Zimo’s head with a shuddering killing intent! It was Sword Sect’s Essence Spirit secret skill! At the same time, a figure suddenly appeared in the void beside Immortal Sword. Wearing a wide Daoist robe and a Confucian crown on his head, he had a faint smile on his face but his attacks were extremely sharp without any mercy! The scholar’s glabella lit up and his spirit consciousness condensed into a gray arrow that tore through the air as though it could pierce through everything! The scholar activated his Essence Spirit secret skill at the same time! That Essence Spirit secret skill was even more terrifying and sharp than the sword of Immortal Sword! The release of two Essence Spirit secret skills from two Conjoint Body Mighty Figures placed Su Zimo in danger instantly!
