Chapter 326 - Honest Man
The torrent and fallen trees formed from the supreme Dharmic powers shook the entire world, exuding an imposing aura. Even the audiences were able to feel that power of annihilation as though they were experiencing it personally!
In the square, some of the cultivators were so scared that their faces were pale despite merely watching.
That was the power of Grade 4 killing formations!
That was the power that belonged to the Dharma.
Be it spirit energy, art or weapons, none of them could be stronger than Dharmic powers, arts and weapons.
One can only understand the secrets of the Dharma after entering Nascent Soul state and cultivating an Essence Spirit; even Golden Cores can’t comprehend them!
Between the endless falling trees and torrential waves, the figure that was moving forward was so tiny. In fact, it looked a little humble, as though it could be crushed into nothingness at any moment.
However, for some reason, everyone was feeling a deep sense of shock that was even more intense than the impact of a Grade 4 killing formation!
“What’s the matter?” Su Zimo raised his brow slightly.
Shi Jian hesitated for a moment before replying, “Well, I’m also here for your Blood Quencher, Mr. Mo.”
Su Zimo’s gaze turned cold.
Bowing hurriedly, Shi Jian explained himself, “However, that was not my intention. I can’t defy my master’s orders. I seek your understanding in this, fellow Daoist.”
Su Zimo noticed that Shi Jian’s words were sincere and did not seem like he was lying – he truly had no choice.
It was only then that Su Zimo’s expression relaxed and the killing intent in his heart dissipated.
Shi Jian continued, “Mr. Mo, don’t worry, I will definitely not harm your life. Furthermore, as an exchange, I will do my best to help guarantee a spot in the Spirit Ranking for you!”
There were two slots for every region.
By saying that, Shi Jian was implying that he would try his best to help Su Zimo obtain the other spot in the wood region.
Su Zimo smiled but did not say anything.
Shi Jian did not know what happened in the water region nor did he know of Su Zimo’s motives.
When he saw Su Zimo smile, he misunderstood and thought for a long time before saying, “Mr. Mo, I know that perfect spirit weapons are priceless. However, there’s not much I can do. How about this? Apart from helping you obtain a spot in the Spirit Ranking, I’ll give you all the treasures in my storage bag?”
“There’s no need to say anything more, let’s fight.”
Su Zimo said with a calm expression.
“Ah?
Shi Jian was stunned for a moment and asked confusedly, “Mr. Mo, do you want to fight me? If I didn’t see wrongly, you only just advanced to three meridian Foundation Establishment while I’m at five meridian Foundation Establishment. You’re not going to be my match.”
Su Zimo smiled and replied, “If you beat me, Blood Quencher will naturally be yours.”
Shi Jian pondered for a long time before nodding. However, his expression was still somewhat lost, as though he could not understand Su Zimo’s intentions.
Retrieving an alloy steel rod that was engraved with complicated patterns from his storage bag, Shi Jian injected spirit energy into it and the rod shone with three spirit patterns!
It was a superior-grade spirit weapon!
“Mr. Mo, you have to be careful. Southern Mountains Sect prides ourselves in our strong physique and melee combat is our forte.”
As if afraid that Su Zimo would not know of his prowess, Shi Jian reminded again.
Su Zimo nodded.
After waiting for a while, Shi Jian noticed that Su Zimo’s hands were still empty and the latter had not summoned any flying swords or other spirit weapons!
Coughing gently, Shi Jian reminded him kindly, “Mr. Mo, you’ve got to use flying swords or other weapons against cultivators like us who specialize in melee combat. That way, you can increase the distance between us and prevent me from getting close.”
Shi Jian gestured in a serious manner and continued, “Look, the way you are right now, I’ll be able to reach you within a few steps. It’ll be too late for you to summon a flying sword by then. Within a single move, you will be defeated.”
Outside the Five Elements Umbrella, the hundred thousand odd cultivators stared in bewilderment.
Xue Yi could not help but lament, “This Brother Shi is truly a honest man!”
