Chapter 45 - On the Brink of Death
In the darkness, the three elders from Joyful Clan wore capricious expressions. Simultaneously, the trio unsheathed their spirit weapons. There were two inferior-grade weapons and one middle-grade one.
Swash! Swash! Swash!
The spirit weapons shone brightly, exuding cold and sinister murderous intents and charging forward.
Poof! Poof!
Two clan disciples from the Joyful Clan were unprepared and killed on the spot by the spirit weapons of the Elder Qian trio.
Unabated, the spirit weapons continued to charged at the vital points on Su Zimo’s body!
In the small and narrow cave, the people from Joyful Clan barely had any space to avoid the attacks. Nevertheless, this also meant that Su Zimo’s movements would be greatly restricted.
Everyone from Joyful Clan rose to the sky and charged forward.
“Brother Qian, the spirit qi on the Protection Talisman can’t hold on for too long. We have to subdue this lad as soon as possible.” Elder Chen said in a low voice. “Once the protection talismans lose their effect, our lives will also be in danger!”
Once the talisman was released, it could not be effective all the time.
After sustaining itself for a period of time, it would lose its effect when the spirit qi on it dissipated.
Elder Chen had such a Protection Talisman on him. Once the effect was gone, he would be no different from Gong Liangjing.
If he were to encounter the same situation in the cave, it would be hard for him to escape death.
Elder Qian nodded.
In fact, he had another Protection Talisman in his storage bag. However, protection talismans were very precious and he did not wish to waste it.
Elder Qian stepped onto the flying sword, clasped both hands and muttered a sutra. In the wind and snow, as if they had been summoned, a mysterious flow of energy suddenly surged into Elder Qian’s fingertips.
“Ground-caving Skill!”
Elder Qian suddenly pointed to the direction in which Su Zimo was escaping.
Long before this, Su Zimo had sensed a wave of trepidation in his heart. Upon hearing Elder Qian’s voice, he quickly paused his steps.
“Boom!”
The ground right in front of Su Zimo seemed to have suffered a powerful impact. It suddenly collapsed and a huge pit appeared.
If Su Zimo was unprepared and his legs wobbled, he would have fallen directly into this deep pit.
“What is this?”
Su Zimo’s eyes were alternating between shock and puzzlement.
He had already foreseen that Foundation Establishment Cultivators would have some mysterious means but the scene before him was truly beyond his knowledge.
“Vinewood-twining Skill!”
In that split second that Su Zimo was distracted, another sound rang in his ears.
“Mmm?”
Su Zimo was stunned and he secretly cursed. He wanted to go around the huge pit in front of him and run towards the other side.
Unexpectedly, just as Su Zimo got up, a few withered branches and vines suddenly crept up from the snow below his feet and ensnared both his legs!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Sounds of spirit weapons breaking through the air could be heard. It was terrifying and soul-stirring.
At this moment, Su Zimo’s body was restrained and he could not move or dodge. Once he was hit by the spirit weapon, he would die instantly.
Su Zimo remained calm in the face of danger. He dropped to the ground directly, reverse-gripped the Cold Moon Saber and slashed hard on the vines holding both his feet.
Snap!
The vines broke.
At the same time, spirit weapons successively appeared before him. Su Zimo clenched his teeth, twisted his body till the limit and contracted his large tendons. Crisp and cracking sounds could be heard coming from the bones in his body. He had an extremely close shave with the three spirit weapons from the Joyful Clan elders.
After successfully dodging the three spirit weapons, no matter how, Su Zimo could not avert the over 50 other spirit weapons that were coming towards him.
Although all of them were from Qi Refinement Warriors, more than 50 Qi Refinement Warriors attacked at the same time. Hence, this was a frightening force not to be underestimated!
All of a sudden, the situation became extremely dangerous and Su Zimo was on the brink of death!
