Chapter 1727 - Dire Straits!
Chapter 1727: Dire Straits!
The sharp three-colored Sword Qi contained vast sword power and it slashed the ground apart. The Sword Qi shot out to the surface of the earth and surged toward the Green Flames.
Boom!
The Green Flames quaked and the three-colored Sword Qi disappeared like a stone that had been thrown into the ocean.
That is horrifying! Su Mo looked ghastly-pale. His Sword Qi had been dissolved by the Green Flames.
He quickly moved back and darted deep into the ground when he saw the Green Flames surging toward him.
His heart sank as he hid himself deep in the ground. He was only safe for the time being. If he was unable to get out of that place, he would definitely lose his life.
At the current moment, he could only go deep into the ground.
In the starry sky.
The Grand Priest looked indifferent as he continued to activate the Honorable Soul Banner to send out the fiery Green Flames.
The top powers who had pursued Su Mo stood nearby and other than the middle-aged man from the Sorcerer Tribe, the rest of them looked pale.
They were not from the Sorcerer Tribe and they were merely acting in collaboration with the Sorcerer Tribe to besiege Su Mo. When they saw what the Grand Priest had done, they took a contradictory stand.
The Grand Priest had killed innocents and it was inhuman of him to do so.
“Grand Priest, will you not be setting yourself against the heavens if you kill all the people in that star?” A top power asked, looking perturbed.
“What do you mean by that?” The Grand Priest asked, expressionless. As long as he could kill Su Mo, it would not matter how many people he had to kill.
Although it was not difficult for him to search Su Mo out from the star given his cultivation and strength, there was a possibility for Su Mo to escape.
By refining the star, it would be a foolproof method.
“Is it not…too cruel to do so?” The top power asked.
When the Grand Priest heard him, he looked coldly at him and said, “The weaklings have no right to live!”
The top power was shocked when he heard that and he immediately kept quiet.
In the eyes of a Martial Sage, those who had not reached that stage were nothing to him. He could not care less about those people.
As the star was being refined, it continued to shrink. After about 15 minutes, the star had shrunk by one tenth.
Time passed and as the star became smaller, the speed of refinement hastened.
After two hours, the star, that was initially large in size, had shrunk down tremendously.
It then shrunk further.
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Screams were heard continually as many people were killed. Those with a higher cultivation level managed to hold on longer but those with a low cultivation level were killed by the Green Flames as they were too slow to run away.
Crap. He is ruthless!
Deep in the ground, the magma was boiling. Su Mo was underground and he looked furious and pale.
He had heard the screams of the people as they were either burnt by the Green Flames died in the magma.
Su Mo nearly lost his sanity at the scene. However, he could not even save himself, let alone the others.
No one could fight against the Green Flames and it was a matter of time before all of them lost their lives.
Su Mo then triggered his thought and entered the Seven-color Glazed Pagoda. The only thing that would not be refined by the Green Flames would be the Pagoda.
However, even it could fend off the Green Flames, Su Mo was unable to escape. Ultimately, he would be caught by the Grand Priest.
Time passed quickly and the star became smaller. Ultimately, only the boiling magma was left.
The magma did not escape from being refined by the Green Flames. It continued to dissipate and turned into green smoke.
The array was within the radius of 16,000 kilometers!
8,000 kilometers!
1,600 kilometers!
800 kilometers!
The array, that had been formed by the Honorable Soul Banner, had shrunk to a radius of 800 kilometers as the Green Flames burnt fiercely in it.
The speed in refining the star had increased tremendously at that stage and the array shrunk at a fast pace.
In an instant, the array had shrunk to a radius of 16 kilometers.
There were less than 100 people who were still alive in the array. Basically, billions of creatures had died.
“Let us out!”
“Let me live!”
“Please, let me out. I don’t want to die!”
Those who had held on until the end were the Rank 9 Martial Honored Realm martial artists. They saw the Grand Priest through the Green Flames and they cried out loudly to beseech the Grand Priest to let them out.
Su Mo saw the Grand Priest from the Seven-color Glazed Pagoda and he was filled with immense killing intent for him.
The Grand Priest deserves to die!
No matter how many times he died, Su Mo’s anger would not be appeased.
The Grand Priest stood outside the array and looked indifferent. He did not seem to hear the cries of the people. He continued to refine the star and at the same time, looked at the Seven-color Glazed Pagoda.
“Grand Priest, that pagoda is Su Mo’s Sacred Weapon. I am sure he is in it!”
The middle-aged man from the Sorcerer Tribe shouted out loudly as he and the top powers looked at the Seven-color Glazed Pagoda in the array.
That is an Upper Sacred Weapon! Light flashed across the Grand Priest’s eyes and he looked elated.
It was a pleasant surprise that Su Mo possessed an Upper Sacred Weapon. That would be a great treasure to the Grand Priest!
Only the main branch possessed Upper Sacred Weapons and sub-branches like Heavenly Underworld Star did not have any.
This time around, the Grand Priest not only could kill Su Mo, he would be able to get his hands on an Upper Sacred Weapon. That had made his trip worth it.
Suddenly, the Grand Priest felt great. He had been fuming with anger over Su Mo and was filled with immense killing intent.
At that moment, his anger seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden.
In an instant, the array which had been formed by the hundreds of Honorable Soul Banner, shrunk to an insignificant size. It had a radius of only 1.6 kilometers.
Other than Su Mo, the rest of the people were all dead. They had been turned into ashes, and everything in the star had been refined.
Even the tough Upper Honorable Weapons had been refined as they could not defend themselves against the Green Flames.
Other than the Seven-color Glazed Pagoda and the Green Flames, nothing was left in the array.
The cold Green Flames continued to burn fiercely and engulf the Seven-color Glazed Pagoda.
Su Mo looked at the Green Flames outside the Pagoda and there was no expression on his face. The Pagoda was made of superb quality materials and it could fend off the Green Flames.
However, it could not fend off the Grand Priest. There was no escape for Su Mo. Once the Grand Priest struck, he could enter the Pagoda effortlessly.
Dire straits!
Su Mo was in dire straits!
Swoosh!
The Grand Priest stretched out his hand and the array flew hastily to him.
“Su Mo, you have killed 20,000,000 men from our tribe and you are unpardonable. You have to be punished!”
The Grand Priest’s face was indifferent when he looked at the Seven-color Glazed Pagoda. He then continued, saying, “This day, I shall abolish your cultivation and suppress your Fighting Soul. After I have brought you back to our tribe, I shall offer you up to the deity in front of all our men to commemorate the men whom you have killed!”
