Chapter 345: Three Slashes! Buzz! Su Zimo was charging through the crowd when he heard a sword slash. His mind throbbed vaguely with a sharp pain as a warning flashed in his heart. The attack was extremely fast and sharp – it could definitely pose a threat to him! A six meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator had struck! “Clang!” Without time to look back, Su Zimo slashed in reverse and blocked the incoming flying sword. An ear-piercing sound of metal clashing screeched as sparks flew! That attack was extremely strong and Su Zimo shuddered, killing intent surging into his eyes. There was only a single person who could attack him from that angle – the traitor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Yu! Sidestepping, Su Zimo dodged a couple more flying swords and spun around swiftly. He glared at Jiang Yu who was not far away in midair and said with a cold voice, “You have a death wish!” “Everyone, don’t panic. As long as we keep our distance, that person is of no threat!” Jiang Yu declared loudly, “I’ll hold him back while you guys join forces to kill him!” “Someone like you?” Su Zimo laughed coldly and ignored the flying swords and spirit arts coming at his back. Stomping on the ground heavily, he leaped into the air like a rainbow. In midair, Su Zimo conjured hand seals and suddenly, a gigantic pair of wings spread out behind him. They surged with spirit light and were life-like. That was one of Ethereal Peak’s three major secret skills, Ethereal Wings! With Ethereal Wings, Su Zimo could soar through the skies like Golden Cores without the need for external objects. His combat skill in the air was now the same as on the ground. Swoosh! Both wings flapped and in a flash, Su Zimo brushed by a Great Shang cultivator. A bloody scar emerged from that person’s neck as blood sprayed out while he fell from his flying sword, already dead. Jiang Yu’s eyelid twitched. Even though he was a six meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator, a full three cultivation realms above Su Zimo, his speed with Sword Kinesis Flight could not match Su Zimo who was in possession of Ethereal Wings. In other words, Jiang Yu could only fight Su Zimo head on to see who would have the upper hand. “Water Moon Wheel!” Jiang Yu conjured hand seals and channeled his spirit energy fervently, forming a round, blue full moon that rippled in front of him. It shone with a chilling killing intent and charged forward. “Break!” Su Zimo’s bloodline rumbled as the power of thunder gathered in his palm, turning into a thunder spear that shimmered with lightning as he threw it towards the full moon. Boom! The two spirit arts collided into a huge bang. The lightning spirit energy surged, producing a dizzying oval sphere of energy that illuminated half the sky. They were even! Right from the beginning, Su Zimo’s body had not paused for the slightest bit and in the blink of an eye, he was a 100 feet away from Jiang Yu! “Go!” Seeing that his spirit art was useless, Jiang Yu controlled his flying sword and pointed forward hurriedly. The sword quivered, turning into a beam of light that shot towards Su Zimo’s face! At the same time, Jiang Yu rode on his flying sword and retreated furiously. His attack was not meant to injure Su Zimo. It was for Su Zimo to deal with it head on! That way, Su Zimo’s speed would naturally decrease and the both of them would be able to maintain a safety distance. No matter how strong Su Zimo was in melee combat, he would never be able to touch Jiang Yu. To begin with, the speed of a flying sword shot by a six meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator was extremely fast. Coupled with the fact that Su Zimo was charging towards Jiang Yu, that sword reached him almost instantly. If it was anyone else, it would have been almost impossible for them to dodge that sword; they would either be dead or severely injured. However, Su Zimo had his spirit perception and sensed it almost immediately after Jiang Yu struck. Furthermore, he noticed Jiang Yu’s movements and determined the latter’s intention instantly. Faced with the incoming flying sword, Su Zimo did not dodge nor use Blood Quencher. Instead, he extended his jade-white palm. His arm was like an elephant’s trunk, strong yet flexible, while his palm was like a cow’s tongue, meeting the flying sword softly – a coil and a tremble! Clang! A jarring sound echoed from the sword. As though it was struck by some immense external force, it was almost destroyed! The spirit light on the sword dimmed and it was cast aside by Su Zimo. When he saw that, Jiang Yu’s expression changed starkly as his pupils contracted. He had long known that Su Zimo’s melee combat strength was frightening and he had a strong physique. However, he did not expect it to be this strong! Su Zimo could actually come forth unharmed while defending against a superior-grade flying sword with his bare hands? That was probably something that only a spirit demon at peak Foundation Establishment or a pure-blooded ferocious beast could achieve! How could a three meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator be in possession of such a strong physique! The entire process seemed very slow upon narration but in fact, it occurred in the split of a moment. Su Zimo reached out and tossed the flying sword aside with a coil and a tremble. His wings flapped as the wind howled but he did not slow down at all and was already 10 feet away from Jiang Yu! At this distance, Jiang Yu was already a dead man in Su Zimo’s eyes. If he was against the mighty fiend heir of Overlord Palace, Pang Yue, who was similarly skilled in melee combat with an unparalleled physique, Su Zimo would not have the confidence to kill the latter. However, this cultivator of the Great Zhou Dynasty was dead for sure! “Ah!” Jiang Yu’s heart skipped a beat. When he saw that he could no longer escape, he hurriedly withdrew a defensive gear from his storage bag and strapped it on his arm – it was a pair of steel bracers. Injecting spirit energy into them, the bracers shone with three spirit lights – they were superior-grade spirit weapons! Su Zimo’s gaze flashed like lightning as he strode forward. Blood Quencher that was in his hands sounded loudly and quivered. “Take my slash!” Swinging his arm without any stance, Blood Quencher drew a perfect air in the air and descended from above with a horrifying might, flashing down with immense strength! Blood drained from Jiang Yu’s face as he propped up both arms instinctively. The bracers shone brightly above his head. Clang! There was a deafening sound. Jiang Yu’s body shuddered and his feet wobbled. Nearly falling from the flying sword, his arms could not withstand the blow and shook while blood oozed from the side of his lips. “Good, again!” Su Zimo laughed and chopped down with Blood Quencher again! Clang! Jiang Yu’s arms were nearly split apart and the sharpness of Blood Quencher was almost at his head. The blood stench emitted from the blade was suffocating. The spirit light of his bracers flickered. After two consecutive slashes from Blood Quencher, that superior-grade spirit weapon was almost done for! “DIE!” Su Zimo spat out coldly. As soon as he said that, Blood Quencher descended once more heavily against Jiang Yu’s arms. Crack! Crack! Crack! A series of cracks could be heard from within the bracers. Right after, Jiang Yu’s eyes dimmed as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his arms collapsing. Blood Quencher descended and a cold blade sliced through Jiang Yu’s head, causing a bloody scar. Shing! Jiang Yu’s body split into two as he fell alongside the flying sword beneath him, blood and organs splattering everywhere. Another six meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator had died to Blood Quencher!
