2097 Annihilation “You!” When Commander Xiong saw an exquisite green sword tearing through the air, his expression changed! He hurriedly condensed his spirit consciousness to defend against the Green Lotus Sword. However, the Green Lotus Sword was extremely sharp and passed through his spirit consciousness instantly, entering his consciousness and slashing his Essence Spirit. Clang! A dull sound echoed when it struck the Essence Spirit. The Green Lotus Sword trembled gently and its glow dimmed, turning into 90 green lotus seeds that returned to Su Zimo’s consciousness and went back to the lotus cave to be nourished once more. Commander Xiong’s Essence Spirit was wearing an Essence Spirit Dharmic treasure that resembled an inner armor! Essence Spirit Dharmic treasures were extremely rare. They were extremely difficult to refine and could save lives most of the time—they were equivalent to additional lives. If not for the Essence Spirit inner armor, Commander Xiong would have died for sure! Of course, the Green Lotus Sword was formed from the green lotus seeds nurtured by the Grade 10 Creation Green Lotus. It was too sharp and extremely powerful. Even with the inner armor, Commander Xiong’s Essence Spirit was shaken violently and was even injured! The surging blood qi in his body turned chaotic instantly and his body shuddered as blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. In that instant, Su Zimo counterattacked! The two of them were close to one another to begin with and Su Zimo had already closed in with a single step. Kneeling forward like a galloping horse, he smashed heavily against the chest of Commander Xiong. At the same time, Su Zimo’s hands gripped Commander Xiong’s wrist tightly like two iron hoops and yanked to both sides! Crack! Crack! Crack! The armor on Commander Xiong’s arms collapsed instantly and cracks appeared! He felt a sharp pain in his arm, as though it was about to be torn off. In reality, if not for the protection of the Black Gold Feather Armor, that attack earlier on would have torn his arms off! Of course, Su Zimo had reservations and did not use his blood qi the entire time. If he channeled the blood qi of the Green Lotus True Body, that attack would be enough to severely injure Commander Xiong! Even so, Commander Xiong was scared out of his wits! He had never seen such ferocious offensive skills and fighting styles. Up till this point of the battle, Su Zimo did not seem like a cultivator at all. Instead, he looked like a man-eating ferocious beast with a torrential ferocity! Commander Xiong had a horrified expression and retreated instinctively, wanting to escape from this place. However, the two of them were too close. At that distance, he would not have a chance to escape even if he wanted to! If not for the Black Light Essence Severing Formation, Su Zimo would have to use all his trump cards if he wanted to kill more than ten Execution Guards. In fact, he would even have to release the Hell Suppression Tripod and Green Lotus phenomenon. However, with this Black Light Essence Severing Formation, he was saved a lot of trouble. With the Green Lotus True Body, the Thunder Bones, the Divine Elephant Breathing Technique that he cultivated, the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness and the offensive skills of the Azure Dragon, he could bury everyone here in an invincible manner! The existence of the Black Light Essence Severing Formation trapped the Execution Guards. However, this array formation was targeted at Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo to begin with. Who would have thought that a monster like Su Zimo would appear? When Commander Xiong retreated, Su Zimo was like a shadow, chasing even faster. He flipped his palm and crushed down on the head of Commander Xiong! Helpless, Commander Xiong could only raise his arms to defend. His Essence Spirit was injured and it was difficult for him to circulate his blood qi. His pure physique could not defend against the Green Lotus True Body at all! Crack! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮 Su Zimo’s palm descended and snapped Commander Xiong’s arms! “Ah!” Commander Xiong shrieked tragically and his spirit consciousness moved, wanting to summon the messenger talisman in his storage bag to send a distress signal. However, Su Zimo’s attacks were like a storm and would not give him any chance to catch his breath! After that palm strike, Commander Xiong felt his vision blur and Su Zimo’s figure vanished. The bystanders had a clearer view of things. In the eyes of Gu Tongyou and the others, under the suppression of Su Zimo’s palm, he suddenly lowered his body and slithered forward like an agile anaconda, circling behind Commander Xiong. The next moment, the anaconda coiled around Commander Xiong and raised its head to take a deep breath, as though it wanted to devour the sun and the moon! The anaconda’s body expanded continuously! Under their shocked gazes, Commander Xiong’s burly body transformed rapidly and a jarring crackling sound came from his body! Commander Xiong’s bones were minced by the anaconda and his body exploded into blood mists! Swoosh! An Essence Spirit flew out from the top of his head. Before it could escape, it was whipped into pieces by the anaconda’s tail and destroyed on the spot! On the other side, Lin Ming was shocked. Suddenly, he shook his head and rubbed his eyes with both hands. He seemed to have hallucinated earlier on. The drunkard seemed to have vanished and in his place was an anaconda! By the time he focused his gaze once more, Commander Xiong had already turned into a pile of grisly red meat and was sprawled on the ground, dead. The ugly drunkard stood at the side expressionlessly. Everything that happened earlier on merely seemed like a hallucination of his. Actually, he was not the only one. Zuo Zhuxuan and Shangguan Qian had the same hallucination. Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo exchanged glances—both could see the shock in the other’s eyes. Both of them could see things clearer and sharper. Throughout history, many cultivation techniques and offensive skills were imitated from ferocious beasts and demon beasts. It was easy to imitate them but it was difficult to capture their actual spirits. Someone like Su Zimo who possessed both form and spirit and could even cause one’s vision to go haywire such that it was difficult to differentiate between reality and illusion was completely unheard of! Although the battle sounded slow upon narration, the process was extremely short. It had been less than 20 breaths since Su Zimo attacked and killed Commander Liu’s group of three before going on to mince Commander Xiong to death. Zuo Zhuxuan and Lin Ming had always been on the side of the Execution Guards. Before the two of them snapped out of their stupor from the shock of how Su Zimo dared to attack the Execution Guards, all the Execution Guards present were annihilated without exception. The battle ended before the two of them even had the chance to attack! How was that possible? Who was this Mo Ling? Not only did he attack the Execution Guards, he even massacred them mercilessly! He was only a Grade 5 Earth Immortal—how could he release such terrifying power? Could it be the legacy cultivation technique of Astral Sect? That did not make sense. Right from the beginning, they had not seen him use any methods of Astral Sect. Furthermore, he could not release them in the Black Light Essence Severing Formation. Zuo Zhuxuan and Lin Ming’s minds were in chaos. Right then, Su Zimo turned around and looked at the two of them. Zuo Zhuxuan and Lin Ming met with Su Zimo’s gaze and their expressions changed. They felt a chill run down their spines and their hearts seemed to leap into their throats! The two of them were not fools and realized something. Notwithstanding the fact that they had been targeting Su Zimo repeatedly previously, it would be difficult for the two of them to leave alive after witnessing today’s scene!
