Chapter 213: Are You Stupid?
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“…6 Xuanwu ancestors ended so fast? How quick!”
When the last person was killed by their combined attacks, Hu Zhongyuan turned his head, looking at Zong Shou in astonishment.
A grade 8 spiritual artifact with a 10th of its power, second soul illusionary spirit sword, sword path one with the spirit, along with him rising to the peak of the night wandering realm. At that moment, When all these merged as one, he managed to instakill a Xuanwu ancestor!
Out of the 6 people that engaged, half of them died in Zong Shou’s hands!
Li Luo and Shi Dan’s eyes were filled with shock, looking towards Zong Shou like they were looking like a brand new person.
Only Tan Tao frowned slightly as he looked at the corpses on the floor, “Looking at the methods of these people, they seem to come from the demon path. They don’t seem like those with relations with Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain…”
Just as he was about to walk over to observe those corpses, Zong Shou had caught his breath. The consumption this time had caused a huge loss of energy. Even Little Gold was devoid of energy. the darkness blooming cereus that was used up would take several months to get to the level before.
Just as he was thinking about how he lost a trump card, Zong Shou shook his head, “There’s no need to look. It’s most probably Demon Mountain Sect.”
“Demon Mountain Sect?”
Tan Tao exclaimed, before thinking carefully. He didn’t bother much, expressionlessly nodding his head, “So that’s the case!”
Since he could easily instakill the Xuanwu ancestor in one sword, there weren’t many people in the world that could handle Zong Shou.
When one was above the ascended level, they couldn’t interfere in Cloud Continent matters. Zong Shou’s identity was especially sensitive. As Long as he arrived in Gantian Mountain, he didn’t even need to fear the sect leader of the Demon Mountain Sect.
Zong Shou nodded in gratitude towards Li Luo and Shi Dan. These 2 people put in the effort. The former stopped 2 same grade Xuanwu ancestors, and the latter sent his protector beast sword slave to assist. Luckily these 2 were here. If not, even with the nine qilin sword and darkness blooming cereus, he would still die here.
And also, Tan Tao was not bad. No matter if he didn’t pay much attention or like these Xuan Mountain City people, but in the original history, a large half of these people died 2 years later because of “him”.
Looking closely at the items these people were carrying, Zong Shou sighed slightly.
At this moment, he was filthy rich. The items those few people carried were at most grade 1-2 spiritual energy so he didn’t care much. He only felt pity that the heaven and earthbags he wanted to buy, he couldn’t see a trace after waiting in Jiefu City for a few days. Even if he posted news about purchasing it, but no one was willing to sell.
Just as he was about to move and go down the mountain, Shi Dan’s body flashed and blocked him. Her brows furrowed, “The prince’s sword path is one with the spirit and your spiritual cultivation is strong. Pretty much the same as what the elder of my sect said. However, in a large army war, it is different from the life and death battles of a few people. Even if you could kill these 3 Xuanwu ancestors, you might not be able to do anything on the battlefield. At that time Li Luo and I might not even be able to protect ourselves, much less keep you alive. That isn’t 4-5 thousand but 400 thousand elites! Your talent is great and to die here is a huge misfortune…”
The corner of Li Luo’s lips raised ironically. Zong Shou wasn’t surprised. The elder mentioned by this girl was most probably the old man from the Sanlu bank. He smiled, not hiding his thoughts, “I know my limits. When the situation gets bad, Miss Shi can run first. You don’t need to care about me!”
Shi Dan was slightly startled. When she reacted, Zong Shou had passed her and walked forwards. He needed to quickly get down the mountain or else the essence energy absorbed on the nine qilin sword would dissipate.
Seeing the situation, Shi Dan’s brows furrowed. She viciously stared at Li Luo who didn’t speak as she could only helplessly follow Zong Shou down.
30 miles away from here, Lei Dong was looking at that stone platform, his eyes not blinking.
There were 2 people beside him. One was Zhao Yanran who sat cross-legged in a carefree manner. However, the energy she gave out was very focused and thick. She had managed to stably remain at the martial ancestor realm. The skin revealed outside of her shirt was multi-colored, many matters moving and crawling around her skin.
The other person laid paralyzed on the ground, eyes wide open with rage and helplessness. If Zong Shou was there, he would be able to recognize that this was Xuanyuan Yiren’s senior Brother Fang Shu.
“My sworn Brother is getting more and more amazing. Grade 8 spiritual artifact, darkness blooming cereus along with his sword path. There aren’t many Xuanwu ancestors in Donglin Cloud Continent that can handle him.”
When Zong Shou and the others disappeared, that stone platform that had been through the intense battle started to collapse.
After Lei Dong looked away, he jealously looked towards Zhao Yanran. He sighed heavily, “Recently I have been feeling conflicted. With my brother’s identity and character, how would he be able to hide it? My Uncle is unreasonable, what a bother.”
“Bother? You were too soft and deserved it. With people like him… isn’t it better to just kill him?”
Zhao Yanran coldly swept Fang Shu, causing the latter to feel a chill down his spine, “Unfortunately, he’s only one with the spirit. If he could go one more ate and spirit and martial arts merge into one, there would be no one his match in the same generation.”
When Lei Dong heard that he scoffed, “Spirit and martial arts merge into one? You suddenly thought about that? How is that easy. Don’t be greedy!”
Fang Shu rolled his eyes. That Gantian Mountain prince has managed that ten days ago and managed to defeat Xuanyuan Tong. However, these 2 knew nothing about it. With the huge army on Xuan Mountain, Tiegang Hal,l also blocking all spiritual connection. It wasn’t surprising.
He subconsciously wanted to say that but just as he was about to open his mouth, his heartfelt wary and he stopped.
He decided that he would rather get beaten to death than open his mouth. If those 2 found out, he would have no chance of surviving. Much less still being tortured like now.
Zhao Yanran didn’t notice the change in his expression, mocking herself and also curiously said, “Then you aren’t going to help in this battle? A full 400 thousand people with many Xuanwu ancestors. How can he win? He just shoves his head right in. Is this Zong Shou that stupid?”
“I also don’t know! What a tough decision.”
Thinking about this matter, Lei Dong was conflicted. He was an ascended ancestor and if nothing went wrong, in just 2 months he could step into the grandmaster realm. All the various sects in the cloud continent all paid attention to him, and it wasn’t easy for him to step in.
“Looking at him, he does seem like he has some confidence. Let’s just watch before speaking. Who knows, he might a breakthrough.”
Although that was what he said, in his heart, he had directly discounted that possibility. Thinking to himself that if he has no choice, he could only save Zong Shou out from that chaos.
A little later, in a narrow mountain path, a group of silver armored cavalry was silently proceeding forwards. The middle-aged handsome man at the lead held onto a red Swift bird. His brows furrowed tight. His eyes filled with dense worry.
“What is this prince planning? With less than 5 thousand people he dared to try Ruohai Straits?”
…
Half a day later, when the carriages were roughly 30 miles away from the Ruohai Straits, Zong Shou ordered them to stop and set up camp and start to rest up.
This area had scouts from Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain who sent back the news back to the camp Long ago.
However Xiong Kui and Feng Yu we’re both very experienced and didn’t send large amounts of troops just waiting quietly. They only increased their wariness, making a large half of their forces return to the camp to rest.
Another 2 close to ten thousand groups of cavalries left the camp and disappeared in the branch routes of Ruohai Straits. If nothing went wrong, they were going to make a detour and cut off their way back.
Zong Shou didn’t care as he remained in the carriage and meditated quietly. Within his soul ocean, an immense change was happening. Tens of true spiritual charms were forming and combining to form a true spiritual talisman.
However, there was some mysterious power that was obstructing him. Often, when the talisman was gathered up, it would fall apart. Each time he failed, the soul ocean would dry up.
That was because the formation of true spiritual talismans conflicted against the laws of heaven and earth.
Moreover, all spirit masters gained comprehension of the true meaning of the talisman from these failures to finally grasp it.
Zong Shou didn’t feel dejected like he didn’t know that time was flowing, trying time after time. Each time he would have some improvement. Just as that soul ocean whirlpool was shriveled to a huge extent there was an explosion. A golden-colored talisman was formed and hung in the center of the whirlpool, connected with the other 3 true spiritual talismans.
When this true spiritual talisman was formed, the dry soul ocean started to boil. It first slowly filled up and then expanded, until it was roughly 40% bigger did it finally stop.
Zong Shou continued to meditate, stabilizing the realm before stopping. Joy appearing on his face.
Although the battle against the 6 Xuanwu ancestors was easily resolved, it still managed to ease out some potential. He originally thought that it would take ten days to form 4 talismans but he managed it today.
Although the soul ocean whirlpool was 40% larger, his soul power had increased by 3 times. This was a great help to him.
After he woke up, Zong Shou took that purple spear and jumped off the horse. The yellow energy gathering pearl on the spear was different from a few days ago, shining a bright light. After killing 3 Xuanwu ancestors, Zong Shou injected most of the Essence energy in. The caused the energy gathering pearl to be filled to the brim.
As Zong Shou chanted, a person jumped out of the carriage.
It was Zong Yuan who had been cultivating diligently. Zong Shou took a look at him and then nodded in satisfaction.
He was xiantian four meridians and was a distance towards five meridians. By his body hung a purple pearl which was the lightning element external pill that Zong Shou bought for a high price a few days ago. The grade wasn’t high and could only provide 5 veins. It was now successfully merged with Zong Yuan’s energy and became his artifact.
Only now, Zong Yuan’s facial color was shocking. It was dark and filled with deathly energy. A few days earlier, although his mood was down, it could barely be considered optimistic. Now he didn’t look like a person. His eyes were really cold. Like if one got close he would be frozen by his gaze.
Zong Shou didn’t care much. On rough estimation, even with the external pill, it could only double Zong Yuan’s strength to around 350 thousand kilograms. However, they had spiritual artifacts and the effects were not bad too.
Smiling slightly, Zong Shou through over two spiritual armor and a purple spear causally.
