Chapter 2098 - 2098 Silence
2098 Silence
“Not good!”
“This Mo Ling wants to silence me!”
The same thought crossed the minds of Zuo Zhuxuan and Lin Ming.
Right then, Su Zimo had already walked slowly towards the two of them expressionlessly.
However, both of them were still scared out of their wits.
At that moment, the wisest choice for the two of them was to turn and escape. However, for some unknown reason, against Su Zimo’s gaze, their legs no longer obeyed them.
In their eyes, the Execution Guards was a supreme existence that could not be offended.
But now, the drunkard before him had killed 13 Execution Guards!
In their eyes, Su Zimo was no longer the crazy and ugly drunkard. Instead, he was more like a cold-blooded and ruthless fiend who killed without batting an eyelid!
Both of them were scared out of their wits and shivered.
In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo had already arrived before Zuo Zhuxuan and Lin Ming, watching the two of them with a calm expression.
The two of them did not dare to meet Su Zimo’s gaze and averted it.
“You guys wanted to see my capabilities earlier on,”
Su Zimo spoke slowly and said in a seemingly casual manner, “I hope I didn’t disappoint the two of you.”
Initially, Commander Liu and the others wanted to make use of Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo to kill Zuo Zhuxuan and the others.
Zuo Zhuxuan, Lin Ming and Xie Tianfeng pushed Su Zimo out.
Indeed, Su Zimo stood out.
He started a massacre in an incomparably shocking manner and killed all 13 Execution Guards!
When Zuo Zhuxuan and Lin Ming heard Su Zimo’s question, they did not know how to reply. They could only grin dryly with horrified expressions.
“Fellow Daoist Mo Ling,”
Zuo Zhuxuan took a deep breath and tried his best to compose himself. “I’ve offended you in the past. Fellow Daoist, please be magnanimous and give me a chance on account of our relationship as fellow sect mates.”
“Y-Y-Yes!”
Lin Ming nodded hurriedly and smiled apologetically. “I’ve also made a mistake in the past. Fellow Daoist Mo Ling, please be magnanimous, heh.”
Su Zimo was unmoved and merely looked at the two of them calmly.
Beside them, Shangguan Qian sighed gently.
She was extremely fearful as well.
However, she could not bring herself to wag her tail and beg for mercy like Zuo Zhuxuan and Lin Ming.
Zuo Zhuxuan continued, “Fellow Daoist Mo Ling, don’t worry. I can swear that I’ll pretend that I’ve never seen you before and never tell a second person about what happened today! If I break that vow, I’ll die a terrible death!”
He thought to himself that even if he did not tell a second person, he could tell it to a third or a fourth person.
That way, it would not be considered as a violation of the vow.
Lin Ming was enlightened and hurriedly followed suit, making a vow.
“Are you done speaking?”
Su Zimo asked indifferently.
Lin Ming nodded instinctively.
“You can die then,”
With a backhand slap, Su Zimo slapped the side of Lin Ming’s face.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Lin Ming’s head spun a few times around his neck before coming to a slow stop—his entire neck was completely shattered!
His eyes were widened.
Su Zimo’s seemingly casual palm strike had already shattered the Essence Spirit in his consciousness!
When Zuo Zhuxuan saw that, he could not help but gulp and clench his fists instinctively.
Immediately after, a vicious glint flashed through his eyes. Suddenly, he channeled his blood qi and retreated, circulating his Essence Spirit to condense a greater divine power!
“Frost Barrier!”
Zuo Zhuxuan pointed at Su Zimo.
An almost transparent frost barrier was formed around Su Zimo, trapping him within!
Shangguan Qian’s heart skipped a beat when she saw that.
It was only at that moment that she suddenly realized that the Black Light Essence Severing Formation had lost its effect and she could clearly sense the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Qi!
Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo were not surprised.
Although it was convenient to set up such array flags and they were fast, there was a disadvantage.
The 49 array flags were equivalent to Dharmic treasures. If anything happened to the owner of the flags, they would become ownerless and the Black Light Essence Severing Formation would lose its effect.
If one were to carve formation patterns on the ground or in the void bit by bit, although it was extremely troublesome to set up and took a long time, it could be maintained for a long time.
Therefore, the moment Commander Xiong died, the Black Light Essence Severing Formation lost its effect and Heaven and Earth Essence Qi recovered!
To Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo, this was naturally a good thing for them.
However, it was not good for Mo Ling who had just gone on a massacre.
The reason why Mo Ling could release such a terrifying killing power was mainly because of the Black Light Essence Severing Formation.
If Heaven and Earth Essence Qi was recovered, this person’s cultivation realm would only be at Grade 5 Earth Immortal after all—the difference between him and Zuo Zhuxuan and the others was too great.
Therefore, although Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo sensed the change, they did not remind him because they were worried that Zuo Zhuxuan and the others would sense it and they would put Mo Ling in danger instead.
In reality, Lin Ming and Shangguan Qian truly did not notice this change.
However, Zuo Zhuxuan realized it.
He was forced into a corner by Su Zimo and finally overcame the fear in his heart to counterattack.
That was the reason for the scene earlier on.
“Mo Ling, I don’t want to be your enemy!”
Zuo Zhuxuan conjured the frost barrier and trapped Su Zimo within, shouting, “But don’t force me! I’m a Grade 8 Earth Immortal after all and I’m three realms above you. Without the Black Light Essence Severing Formation, you might not be able to win in a life and death battle!”
To be honest, even after recovering Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, Zuo Zhuxuan did not dare to fight Su Zimo.
There was a hint of cowardice in his words as he forced himself to put on a calm composure.
After all, the scene of Su Zimo killing 13 Execution Guards in succession earlier on had a huge impact on him!
“The Zuo family is one of the five major family clans of Solar Luna County…”
Zuo Zhuxuan shouted as he retreated, wanting to intimidate Su Zimo so that he could escape from this place.
“I even dared to kill the Execution Guards. Yet, you’re trying to scare me with the five major family clans of Solar Luna County?”
Su Zimo sneered and in a flash, disappeared from the barrier conjured by the frost divine power!
By the time Su Zimo reappeared, he was already behind Zuo Zhuxuan!
“Mmm?”
When they saw that, Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo were shocked and their expressions changed!
“This is…”
“Teleportation?”
Qiu Siluo looked at Gu Tongyou beside her in confusion.
Gu Tongyou shook his head gently. “It shouldn’t be teleportation. Teleportation is a supreme divine power that can only be released by Heaven Immortal experts. This method is more like a secret skill of the Dragon race…”
“Psst!”
Zuo Zhuxuan’s pupils constricted and he gasped!
Vanished!
He had been staring at Su Zimo fixedly the entire time, afraid that something might happen.
However, Su Zimo suddenly vanished from his line of sight!
The next moment, he felt an aura of death descend from behind him.
Without hesitation, Zuo Zhuxuan pointed to Shangguan Qian who was not far away and hollered, “Nether Swap!”
Swoosh!
Zuo Zhuxuan and Shangguan Qian swapped positions instantly.
