Chapter 2854: Encounter
Translator: Legge |
Evil Fiend Battlefield, Area 9.
Su Zimo and Lin Xunzhen descended from the skies.
Lin Xunzhen had a grim expression as she observed her surroundings. She released her spirit consciousness and was on guard.
The current Evil Fiend Battlefield was even more terrifying and the environment was even worse than a thousand years ago!
The number of the Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits here had increased by countless times and the two of them could face the attacks of the Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits at any moment!
Su Zimo had his spirit perception as a warning and could sense the potential danger in his surroundings right away. Therefore, he appeared calm.
Area 9 was relatively close to Area 7.
“Peak Master.”
Lin Xunzhen turned to look at Su Zimo and asked, “Are we going to attend the challenge?”
Ever since Lin Xunzhen expressed her feelings a thousand years ago and Su Zimo did not respond, she had always addressed Su Zimo as Peak Master when she faced him again.
According to her thoughts, they should avoid fighting Xia Yin head-on and adapt to the situation.
After all, there would definitely be a bloody and tragic collision between the Perfected Spirits of the medium chiliocosm and the Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits. At that time, there might be a better opportunity.
For example, if Xia Yin was forced to release his peerless divine power while fighting against the ten great Evil Fiends.
That way, Su Zimo would have a higher chance of winning against Xia Yin.
“Let’s go.”
Su Zimo did not think too much about it and merely nodded casually. “Since this battle is unavoidable, it’s good to end it as soon as possible.”
Right then, Lin Xunzhen’s expression changed as she looked at a lake not far away.
There were more than ten sword cultivators standing there. They did not have Blessed Heaven World Badges on their waists and even their clothes revealed their identity as Sin Spirits!
At the same time, the Sin Spirit sword cultivators sensed the two of them and turned over one after another with intense killing intent and hostility in their eyes.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The Sin Spirit sword cultivators summoned their swords right away and transformed into sword beams that sped over with a murderous aura.
Lin Xunzhen’s expression turned cold. The sword on her back seemed to have sensed her intentions and unsheathed itself, landing in her palm.
The Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits had once wreaked havoc in the medium chiliocosm. In her consciousness, killing Evil Fiends and suppressing the Sin Spirits was to uphold justice on behalf of the heavens.
Su Zimo knew more about the ten Sin Grounds.
There were too many things that happened back then that were shrouded in fog and it was difficult to tell if they were real or fake.
Therefore, he had always been careful when dealing with the Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits of the ten Sin Grounds. Unless necessary, he did not wish to fight. “Wait a moment.”
Su Zimo raised his hand slightly and stopped Lin Xunzhen.
Lin Xunzhen frowned in confusion.
“Peak Master, the Sanguine Ape from before was merely an anomaly among
the Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits.”
Lin Xunzhen said, “Look at the murderous attitudes of these sword cultivators. Even if you’re soft-hearted, they won’t show mercy!”
Su Zimo did not reply.
If this group of sword cultivators really attacked him, he would naturally not resign himself to death.
As though he sensed something, his gaze shifted and landed beside a lake not far away.
There was a person sitting there.
There was a drunk man in coarse linen robes. Not far away, there was even a rusty sword stabbed into a stone.
“The plain-clothed sword cultivator, one of the ten great Evil Fiends!”
Lin Xunzhen noticed this person as well and his heart skipped a beat.
However, before long, her eyes released a strong fighting spirit and sword qi enveloped her. She was eager to fight.
If she had met this plain-clothed sword cultivator a thousand years ago, she would have to avoid him.
But now that she had comprehended the Immortal Vanquishing Sword and grown into a Supreme Perfected Spirit, she only wanted to fight to her heart’s content when she saw Evil Fiends who were also Supreme Perfected Spirits!
She would more or less have reservations against the Supreme Perfected Spirits of other worlds.
However, she did not feel any psychological burden against the Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits!
“Come back!”
Right then, the plain-clothed sword cultivator suddenly spoke. His voice was neither loud nor soft and was a little hoarse. However, when the dozen or so sword cultivators heard that, they stopped in their tracks at the same time.
“Senior Brother, although you’re unwilling to fight because we’re both sword cultivators, they’re from the outside world. They’re here to kill us!”
A woman looked at the plain-clothed sword cultivator in confusion.
Another person added, “Senior Brother, how many foreign sword cultivators have you let off all these years? However, those sword cultivators have never been soft-hearted towards us!”
When she heard that, Lin Xunzhen’s killing intent decreased.
She suddenly recalled that a thousand years ago, when they were moving in the Evil Fiend Battlefield, they had indeed seen this plain-clothed sword cultivator from afar.
However, the plain-clothed sword cultivator ignored them.
At first, they thought that this sword cultivator who was one of the ten great
Evil Fiends might have done it out of disdain or for some other reason.
Today, after hearing what the two Sin Spirit sword cultivators said, the plain-clothed sword cultivator deliberately let them off!
Why was that so?
A puzzled look flashed through the depths of Lin Xunzhen’s eyes.
“Come back.”
The plain-clothed sword cultivator did not explain and merely sighed.
The dozen or so Sin Spirit sword cultivators looked at Su Zimo and Lin
Xunzhen indignantly with intense hostility. However, they did not disobey the plain-clothed sword cultivator and retreated slowly.
With that, the conflict was completely resolved.
Su Zimo looked at the lonely back view of the plain-clothed sword cultivator and an indescribable emotion suddenly rose in his heart, wanting to go forward and chat with the latter.
In a flash, Su Zimo walked towards the plain-clothed sword cultivator.
Lin Xunzhen did not know Su Zimo’s intentions. Although she was puzzled, she followed closely behind.
“Hmm?”
The expressions of the dozen or so Sin Spirit sword cultivators who had retreated darkened when they saw Su Zimo and Lin Xunzhen walking over. They summoned their swords once more and waited attentively.
“What are you guys doing?!”
“Senior Brother has already allowed you guys to leave. How dare you come
over. Are you tired of living?”
A few Sin Spirit sword cultivators berated loudly.
Lin Xunzhen sneered and looked at the Sin Spirit sword cultivators. “It’s hard
to say who will be the one coming out alive.”
Given her current cultivation, she was confident that she could kill all the Sin
Spirit sword cultivators in front of her within ten moves!
“You guys are no match for her. Move aside.”
The plain-clothed sword cultivator glanced sideways at Lin Xunzhen and said as though he sensed something.
Thereafter, his gaze landed on Su Zimo and paused for a long time, frowning imperceptibly.
He could tell that this female sword cultivator from the outside world should have comprehended a peerless divine power.
As for the black-haired, green-robed man…
Weird.
He was only at the Hollow Nether Perfected One realm.
Under normal circumstances, no matter how talented one was at that realm,
the combat strength they could unleash was limited.
However, for some unknown reason, the plain-clothed sword cultivator felt that he could not see through this person.
The Sin Spirit sword cultivators made way. However, they were still staring at Su Zimo and Lin Xunzhen, ready to step in if they suddenly attacked.
Arriving beside the man, Su Zimo glanced at the rusty sword that was casually inserted into the stone crevice at the side and reached out to pull it out.
“This sword… is a little old.”
Su Zimo said.
The plain-clothed sword cultivator replied, “It’s fine as long as it can still be
used to kill..”
