World of Cultivation - Volume 04 - Zuo Mo’s Counterattack
Page 46
An enormous shadow carrying a threatening presence dived down at astounding speed from the sky above his head!
Clear Sky Old Forefather hadn’t died! Zuo Mo’s expression changed dramatically.
“Go die!”
A shout filled with fury and murderous intent exploded above his head.
Clear Sky Old Forefather’s clothing and ling armor and completely broken apart. His hair loose, there was blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth, and his left arm had disappeared. The power of the Sonic Lightning Walnuts had almost destroyed his soul. Under such an emergency, he had used a secret technique at a cost of three-tenths of his cultivation, and had barely managed to escape.
But even so, his losses were painful. His left arm had been broken and his flying sword had been destroyed. His most painful loss was the loss of three-tenths of his cultivation. This meant that his cultivation could collapse at any moment and return back to the stage of ningmai. How could he not be furious?
The loss of cultivation was every xiuzhe’s greatest fear!
Today, he definitely had to cut these people into pieces!
There was only this one thought in Clear Sky Old Forefather’s mind. [Clear Sky Sword Scripture] was pushed to its limits.
The sky above Golden Crow City seemed to solidify. In an instant, the sky seemed to become a vast piece of transparent crystal. Clouds, dust, sunlight, everything was solidified in that moment, motionless and lifeless.
Sunlight could not pass through the solidified sky. It created an enormous shadow that covered all of Golden Crow City.
The silent killing essence caused everyone to feel terror.
Ping!
The clear sound of crystal breaking. The solidified crystal-like sky suddenly became covered in a web of cracks. The cracks grew at a rapid rate as though there was an invisible hammer continuously striking this piece of crystal sky.
Shu Long was stunned. The road they walked was the one of killing essence, and they were most sensitive to killing essence. At this time, they could not attend to anything else. He shouted, “Kill!”
The hearts of everyone in Guard Camp shook, and they shouted simultaneously, “Kill!”
The black cloud rose and turned to a black python several dozen zhang long and several zhang thick. With a hiss, it viciously leapt towards Clear Sky Old Forefather who was above Zuo Mo’s head.
Clear Sky Old Forefather was not alarmed at all. With a cold laugh, he pointed with a finger!
Whoosh. The crystal sky covered in cracks above his head turned to large patches of transparent fragments that spun as they turned to a sword essence twister that dove at the black python.
[Clear Sky Sword Scripture – Shattering Sky]!
Boom!
The two enormous entities collided without finesse and created an earth-shaking sound.
The pitiful Zuo Mo was thrown up again by the wave of air.
Damn it!
Several Sky sword essence pieces left bloody marks on his body. He disregarded the pain, and looked towards the battlefield. He couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
Countless crystal-like fragments of sword essence floated in front of Clear Sky Old Forefather. He was bleeding from his mouth and nose. In the collision against the black python, he hadn’t escaped unscathed, but his gaze became even more vicious.
When Zuo Mo met Clear Sky Old Forefather’s gaze, his heart instantly shook. The other was going all out!
Shu Long’s figure shook, and he gave a muffled grunt, his face pale. The other camp guards staggered and collapsed as though they were drunk.
Pu Yao’s anger inside the necklace could not be restrained. “Trash! You group of trash! One jindan makes all of you this sorry-looking, how can you live in the future? I, the honored Sky Yao, cannot have such trash under my command … …”
A grimace came onto Shu Long’s face. They had just made a breakthrough. They needed a period of time to acclimate themselves with their bodies. Their loss this time really hadn’t come at a good time!
His eyes suddenly widened, and he had a joyous expression.
At some unknown time, the female xiu appeared behind Clear Sky Old Forefather, and pointed!
There was a chance!
Everyone had ecstatic expressions. They had all seen with their own eyes before how powerful the female xiu was. The female xiu was definitely the strongest person in all of Golden Crow City.
She finally acted!
For some unknown reason, Zuo Mo’s heart suddenly sank. The purple light in the female xiu’s eyes were as bright as two balls of purple fire. It was the first time he had seen the purple light in her eyes be so bright.
“Hahahaha! All of you, die!”
Clear Sky Old Forefather laughed madly. The shattered crystal sky above his head suddenly collapsed. Countless transparent sword essence fragments flowed down like an avalanche.
Countless fragments passed through Clear Sky Old Forefather’s body in burst of blood. Clear Sky Old Forefather did not feel the pain and continued to laugh!
Zuo Mo’s head rang.
A suicidal attack! He wanted them to perish together!
The area of the sky multiple mu large above Golden Crow City had completely collapsed. Countless, vast, and ethereal sword essence fragments with an unstoppable presence fell from the sky.
Countless sword essences penetrated Clear Sky Old Forefather’s body. They turned from glowing and transparent to becoming blood stained glass!
The vast and ethereal sword essence suddenly had a presence that was determined and tragic!
With the sky as the sword, using the body as the guide ––
–– [Blood Sky]!
———
Everyone’s face became pale. It was a terrifying matter if a jindan xiuhe decided to take everyone to the gates of hell with him.
Watching from afar, Rong Wei’s expression changed. There was only one thought in her mind, Golden Crow City was finished!
The large male and the middle-aged person changed expressions at the same time. A thought simultaneously flashed through their minds, Golden Crow city was finished!
There was no difficulty for a jindan xiuzhe to use a secret technique to release an attack with all their power without regard for the consequences. As a result, fights between jindan were more cautious. If one side was pushed to the precipice, their last attack before death was extremely terrifying. Even Rong Wei and the others had never seen a jindan expert go all out.
Rong Wei was stunned. She was very knowledgeable but the power of Clear Sky Old Forefather was far beyond of her predictions. Even among Sky Water Jie’s jindan, Clear Sky Old Forefather’s power would definitely rank among the top three. At this time, she suddenly understood why the Marquis was so wary of Clear Sky Old Forefather.
For some reason, she sighed inside.
They admired Golden Crow City for pushing a jindan to the point they had to fight using their life.
It was just a pity … …
The entire sky above Golden Crow City was pulled in. All of the sword essence had completely lost control!
As Clear Sky Old Forefather laughed crazily, his entire person exploded into a ball of bloody mist and was completely sucked into the uncontrolled sword essences.
An area fifty li in radius around Golden Crow City was completely covered. What made people feel hopeless was that any movement method would be ineffective in leaving the area covered by the sword essence. They couldn’t even escape!
Unless they also were jindan and had high grade movement methods could they escape this calamity.
———
The sky covered everything with the blood-colored sword essence and was unavoidable!
Lava flowed among the seven mountain peaks. Golden Crow City seemed to become hell!
Damn it!
Hopelessness floated on Zuo Mo’s face.
Suddenly, his sighed darkened, and a figure appeared in front of him.
It was her!
“You … …” Zuo Mo first stilled. When he wanted to speak, the female xiu suddenly flew over his head.
Her arms were open like a big bird, her face raised, and her entire body consumed in the purple flame. She was like a moth flying towards the fire, heading straight for the blood-colored sword tide that was crashing down.
The purple fire was burning so high they could not make out her figure.
For an unknown reason, Zuo Mo’s chest suddenly felt extreme pain. His tears uncontrollably flooded out, large teardrops falling down his face.
What was going on … …
Who are you … …
The tears blurred his vision, his chest was in great pain as though something was going to erupt.
His ears could only hear the howls of the sword essence covering the sky above his head that had formed a flood and had an appearance of an apocalyptic disaster.
Pain!
Time suddenly became extremely slow. The extreme pain at his chest was so clear at this moment like a thread of flame burning constantly.
Under that sword essence wave, the figure covered in the purple flame was as minuscule as dust.
So painful!
The pain burned every one of his nerves. He couldn’t suppress it any longer, using all of his strength to shout, “Arrrrrrrrgh!”
The enormous pain was like a tide, coming in brutally and sweeping his entire body.
He didn’t seem to detect that the bright red lava flowing down the mountains seemed to be pulled up by an invisible hand. In the blink of an eye, the lava wrapped around his legs. The damaged great formation on the ground suddenly lit up with a red light. The damaged formation actually managed to still activate!
The golden light of Golden Crow City exploded. The lightning from the formation battle watchtowers exploded. The xiuzhe inside discovered to their shock that the formation battle watchtowers were completely out of their control!
Lava, golden light, and hard lightning headed furiously towards Zuo Mo!
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Zuo Mo angrily yelled. His entire body was covered in the lava, hard lightning and golden light were flashing occasionally between the lava.
The abnormal change disturbed everyone!
Shu Long’s expression changed. Just as he thought to move, he heard the daren inside the necklace shout, “Don’t disturb him!”
He stilled and then had a joyous expression.
Within the lava, Zuo Mo felt his consciousness and fleshly body had been separated. He could clearly feel the enormous pain in his body, but at this time, he was like a spectator watching over it all.
He could see the five element glass bead shaking violently inside his body … …
He saw the figure above his head that was completely enveloped in the purple fire.
She was looking at him.
At this point, Zuo Mo could see through the purple fire and the lava without any effort. He could see very clearly.
He saw a pair of clear eyes filled with joyful surprise and longing.
* * *
Translator Ramblings: So many lil’ cliff(ies) running around recently.
For the second time, Zuo Mo makes a bomb and then screws up with it. Last time, he just defused it, this time, he gets wounded in the explosion.
Chapter 301: Desperate Situation
Under the colossal wave of sword energies, the female xiu enveloped in purple flames looked at Zuo Mo deeply. Zuo Mo had a disquieting feeling that time was pulled extremely long in this moment.
Their gazes met.
The female xiu moved away her eyes, and raised her face again to looked at the sword energies falling down towards her.
Pia pia pia!
Bursts of blood exploded out from her body. She disregarded them. The blood sprayed out and landed in the purple fire which was like a blood-sucking monster that greedily absorbed the fresh blood. The purple fire grew, snapping and crackling.
The hands covered in fresh blood slowly rose up over her head. She took a position as if she was pushing upwards.
The purple fire around her quickly streamed towards her upright arms.
It was just a simple movement, but it made anyone watching feel it was determined and grim.
Her arms pushed upwards.
Two streams of purple fire flowed from her arms and connected end to end. It formed a purple disk of fire about ten zhang large. All the fire on the female xiu’s body flowed into the purple fire disk without a drop remaining.
The purple fire disk spun eerily over her head.
Zuo Mo looked on dazedly. The female xiu who didn’t have any trace of purple fire left on her, no longer bleeding from her wounds, but her torn clothes had already become soaked in blood. Only that pair of bare feet was white and left untouched.
What shocked him even more was that he could not feel any hint of a presence from the female xiu!
She seemed to have suddenly disappeared, no, like she had died.
Looking coldly from the side, Zuo Mo’s emotions suddenly rippled violently.
His howls were like that of a wild beast being burned. Lava, hard lightning, and golden light furiously burrowed into his body destructively as they headed for the deepest reaches of his body.
The ripple of his emotions was like pouring oil onto the fire. His situation became even more terrible. Any place that was slightly weak was completely burned up when the golden light, hard lightning, and lava passed.
Even the muscles and bones that had been sufficiently tempered before were wavering under such a brutal baptism.
But at this moment, all of Zuo Mo’s attention was attracted by the female xiu.
A stream of tears continuously flowed from his eyes, yet he did not detect it. The five element glass bead in his chest jumped rhythmically like a heart, as though something was going to break through.
She definitely had more than a common connection to him!
At this point, Zuo Mo was certain of this point. The enchanting purple fire disk spun above the female xiu’s head. A power that made people feel trepidation slowly spread.
Who are you … …
Zuo Mo’s emotional upheaval became even more violent. He wanted to ask her this question, but his body was completely out of his control. No matter how he tried, he could not reclaim control of his own body.
The collapsing sword essence came even closer. Zuo Mo’s panic increased.
Damn it!
Why … … why couldn’t he control his own body … …
His heart had a fierce impulse. He wanted to control his own body. He wanted to ask her why. He didn’t want her shield him from the front. He … …
Damn it!
Zuo Mo felt there was a ball of fire burning in his chest. He had never had an impulse that was as strong as this one! He knew if he took control of his body at this moment, his soul would have to endure the flames.
But … … he wanted … …
Zuo Mo’s body shook violently. His screams became even more furious!
… … to ask her … …
His eyes were bright red and bloodshot. The tendons in his forehead had bulged out. The blood vessels in his body were like earthworms.
The sword essence sped increasingly near the female xiu and was less than ten zhang from the purple fire disk.
The female xiu suddenly lowered her head to look at him.
Something seemed to explode in Zuo Mo’s mind. Boom! His mind blanked. All of the ling power, consciousness, every drop of power contained in every bit of his muscles suddenly exploded!
His body suddenly created an extremely strong attraction. The lava, hard lightning, and golden light that had been rampaging inside his body were sucked in.
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice echoed.
“Don’t forget … …”
“Even in death, you cannot forget … …”
Layering and in waves like thunder.
In the sky, the colossal sword essence heavily collided on the purple fire disk.
Pew pew pew!
When a sword energy landed inside the purple fire disk, it was like pouring water into hot oil. Purple wisps of flame spat forth. The sword energies were relentless like a flood as they attacked the purple fire disk.
The arms of the female xiu suddenly became weighted, and her body shook slightly.
Zuo Mo was like a wild beast at death’s door as he furiously howled.
The body of the female xiu shook. Zuo Mo’s body shook at the same time. He was like an enraged wild beast. “Why!”
His body suddenly started to tremble. An expression of pain came onto his face. His voice uncontrollably became smaller. “ … … Why … …”
Even if his consciousness had been cultivated, but the pain from his soul being burned would not decrease due to that. The different kinds of forces inside his body seesawed. Enormous pain came from the burning of his soul. He felt like a shrimp being boiled. Every part of his body was trembling.
He wanted … … to ask her … … why … …
The arms of the female xiu were slowly pushed down. An astounding force passed from the purple fire disk.
He gritted his teeth. A stream of fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
He wanted … … to ask her … … why … …
Zuo Mo’s entire body shook fiercely but he didn’t shout this time. He had a deathly stare as he bit down on his teeth, a stream of fresh blood coming out of the corner of his mouth.
Booooooooom!
The flames of the purple fire disk frantically consumed, but there were too many sword energies that forcibly suppressed the flames of the purple fire disk. They continuously pushed down on the purple fire disk.
The female xiu shook even harder. With a muffled grunt, her body suddenly sank down.
He wanted … … to ask her … … why
Below the female xiu, Zuo Mo raised his head with difficulty. His eyes were entirely red and filled with blood. An amazing change was happening to his body. The silver hard lightning swam across the surface of his body like countless silver snakes. The golden light furiously burrowed into his bones and the threads of pure earth fire inside the crimson lava crawled into his channels.
