Chapter 406 - Pledge Allegiance
Flying over the clouds at lightning speed, Su Mo’s figure was like a rainbow breaking the air, making sonic booms.
Before long, he had left Daqing Country and entered the realm of Skymoon Country.
Su Mo was very anxious. According to Elder Wei’s tone, something big must have happened on Gale Island. Otherwise, Elder Wei would not have told him to leave Hong Domain!
Su Mo guessed that Cold-blood Hall had launched an attack on Gale Island because he could not think of any other enemies of Gale Island.
“Hurry! Hurry!”
Su Mo tried his best to speed up. He was already at his fastest and he still felt it was not fast enough!
He dare not to tarry even one second. Elder Wei, Wang Hui, and Niu Xiaohu were all on Gale Island. He cared about them, and did not want anything happened to them.
During the flight, Su Mo suddenly thought of the purple snake he had just hatched.
He saw the snake take the Dragonesque Elephant Blood at lightning speed, and thought it must be much faster to travel on its back.
Immediately, he slapped the spiritual beast pouch and unleashed the purple snake.
Hiss! Hiss!
As soon as the purple snake appeared, it happily stuck its tongue out to Su Mo.
“Move, Lil Eight!”
Su Mo climbed onto its body and directed it.
Swish!
Lil Eight gave a cry and fluttered its wings, turning into purple lightning that rushed toward Gale Island.
“Good!”
Su Mo was overjoyed. Lil Eight’s speed was at least one time faster than his.
Lil Eight was an ancient mutant, a possible Eight-winged Drake, and now a Peak Lv 3 Demonic Beast, which matched a Peak Lv 8 True Spirit Realm martial artist in strength. Therefore, it was normal that its speed was faster than Su Mo’s.
Swish!
The flight of Lil Eight kept broke winds, making harsh noises. A man and a beast flashed through the clouds, heading toward Gale Island.
…
On Gale Island, the war went on. Both Scorching Sun Sect and Gale Island had lost hundreds of experts. The scene looked horrifying.
Jin Yan, the master of Scorching Sun Sect and the Fire-refining Cultivator were still fighting with Yun Tu and Qing Pingzi. They were evenly matched and the battle hung in the balance.
At this moment, the black-robed Elder Xue Tan who had been keeping still finally showed impatience.
“It shouldn’t take this long to beat such a small island!”
Elder Xue Tan shook his head, and his figure turned into a bloody light, bearing down on Yuan Tu.
“Blood God’s Claw!”
With a snarl, he stretched out a ghost-like palm toward Yuan Tu.
A dark red light and howl of ghosts filled the sky as the horrifying ghost claw thrust at Yuan Tu’s head.
“What? Peak Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm?”
Elder Xue Tan moved out of harm’s way. The Gale Island members were shocked.
Although he showed the Enlightenment Realm Qi before, people thought it was Lv 1. However, this move proved he was at Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm!
“Sh*t!”
Yuan Tu turned pale. He was trying to block Fire-refining Cultivator’s attack and could not handle the imposing claw of Elder Xue Tan.
“Break!”
Yuan Tu yelled and punched out both fists toward Fire-refining Cultivator and Elder Xue Tan, and then retreated.
Boom!
Elder Xue Tan had rather high cultivation, therefore, his attack was too powerful for Yuan Tu to block. Yuan Tu’s fist force was slashed off by the claw.
Immediately after, the Blood God’s Claw went straight toward Yuan Tu.
Yuan Tu’s speed was much slower than the claw’s, and it sliced him.
“Ah!”
With a horrible shriek, Yuan Tu’s chest was cut open, and blood spurted out from his mouth.
Fortunately, Yuan Tu was not torn apart. The claw’s power had been partially decreased by his fist attack and his Body-protection Genuine Vitality.
Pew!
Knocked back, Yuan Tu’s strong body quivered. The flesh on his chest was torn off, exposing his organs. A normal True Spirit Realm martial artist could not survive this kind of attack.
Even though Yuan Tu was an Enlightenment Realm expert, he had lost half of his combat strength due to this severe injury.
“What the…!”
“How can it be?”
“We’re done!”
Gale Island members turned pale with fright. Without the island owner Yuan Tu, it would be difficult for Highest Elder alone to hold back the enemy.
The truth was that they were not able to hold them back in the first place because Elder Xue Tan was Peak Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm!
Everyone stopped fighting. Gale Island members looked pale, while Scorching Sun Sect experts beamed.
“Hum!”
Elder Xue Tan had a face filled with scorn. He looked to Yuan Tu and the other Gale Island experts, and coldly said, “Join Cold-blood Hall or die!”
The Blood Qi of Elder Xue Tan surged, and an evil spirit spread through the air. His cold voice sent a chill through all the members of Gale Island.
“I’d rather die than join a demonic force like yours!” An inner elder of Gale Island snarled.
“Go die then!”
Dark red light glittered in Xue Tan’s eyes. Using the claw attack, the Lv 6 True Spirit Realm inner elder was sliced into pieces, blood rained down.
Hiss!
The crowd gasped, breaking out in cold sweat.
“Yuan Tu, join or die?”
Xue Tan looked at Yuan Tu and said, in a grim tone.
He planned to massacre Gale Island members, yet he thought it was better to recruit them for Cold-blood Hall.
Xue Tan was the Red Blood Branch elder of Cold-blood Hall, which had ordered them to recruit some experts.
After all, Cold-blood Hall also had suffered considerable casualties during the war, and needed more cannon fodder.
Hearing this, Yuan Tu frowned. Although he had already lived a long life and his lifespan was coming to an end, he did not wish to die.
He made up his mind quickly, and thought it might be a good choice to join Cold-blood Hall, which was much more powerful than Gale Island and had numerous cultivation skills and treasures. If he could improve his cultivation by joining them, he would live longer.
Most importantly, he was gravely injured. He would definitely die if he denied.
“I’ll join Cold-blood Hall!” He said, while gnashing his teeth.
