When Immortal Sword turned and attacked, it was extremely sudden.
Furthermore, Heavenly Secrets had appeared.
Initially, he thought that Su Zimo would be caught off guard and would definitely be shocked. In his shock, there was a high chance that he would be killed instantly by the two Essence Spirit secret skills!
Unfortunately, Immortal Sword was disappointed.
When he turned back, there was no hint of panic on Su Zimo’s face.
When he conjured his Essence Spirit secret skill, Su Zimo’s spirit consciousness was gathering as well, as though he was prepared!
Crackle!
Suddenly, a whip made of lightning appeared from Su Zimo’s glabella. It emitted a destructive aura and whipped towards the incoming sword!
A single Essence Spirit secret skill was not enough!
Buzz!
The void trembled!
A bedazzling golden light burst forth from Su Zimo’s glabella.
A gigantic swastika symbol descended, as though it possessed a ton of weight and was flawless as it charged towards the Essence Spirit sword of Immortal Sword as well!
Two Essence Spirit secret skills were released at the same time!
Immortal Sword’s expression changed starkly!
If Su Zimo only had a single Essence Spirit secret skill, it would be nothing much.
After all, Su Zimo was only at the Dharma Characteristic realm. Even if the Essence Spirit secret skill was inherited from the Thunder Emperor, it would not be able to hurt him.
However, Su Zimo had released two Essence Spirit secret skills now and they were all directed towards him—Heavenly Secrets’s Essence Spirit secret skill was completely ignored!
“What a lunatic!”
Immortal Sword cursed.
The three Essence Spirit secret skills collided instantly!
Although it was silent, the void trembled, distorted and even collapsed!
A terrifying spirit consciousness fluctuation burst forth and the surrounding bamboo forest turned into dust silently.
“Ah!”
Immortal Sword shrieked and a sharp pain came from his Essence Spirit within his consciousness!
His Essence Spirit was injured in this clash!
“Desolate Martial, you have to die for injuring my Essence Spirit!”
Immortal Sword roared with a menacing expression.
In his opinion, there was no way Su Zimo could defend against Heavenly Secrets’s Essence Spirit secret skill since he had already released both his Essence Spirit secret skills.
All of a sudden!
The moment the Essence Spirit arrow released by Heavenly Secrets descended, Su Zimo’s left wrist lit up with a resplendent, sacred golden light.
The golden light extended rapidly and formed a golden barrier around Su Zimo.
Mysterious and ancient Buddhist words were etched on the surface of the barrier.
In fact, Sanskrit of the Buddhist monasteries sounded from Su Zimo’s left wrist in a deafening manner!
“Hmm?”
The entire time, there was a faint smile on Heavenly Secrets’s face and his expression had not changed.
However, he frowned the instant the golden barrier formed.
He believed that he could calculate everything.
Before he attacked, he had already predicted Su Zimo’s reaction and expected the latter to use the Mingwang Prayer Beads to defend against his Essence Spirit secret skill.
In fact, he had already anticipated beforehand that the damaged Mingwang Prayer Beads would not be able to defend against his Essence Spirit secret skill!
However, he miscalculated.
Suddenly, he realized that the Mingwang Prayer Beads on Su Zimo’s left wrist were complete and full!
Boom!
A loud bang sounded when the arrow struck the golden barrier!
The golden barrier trembled violently and instantly, cracks appeared on it!
Snap!
Immediately after, the golden barrier shattered.
As for the Essence Spirit arrow that was piercing over, it had already dissipated after a violent collision.
Heavenly Secrets retracted his smile and narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at Su Zimo deeply before grabbing Immortal Sword at the side and turning into a streak of light, speeding into the distance.
He did not choose to continue fighting Su Zimo and chose to escape with Immortal Sword instead!
His escape technique was much faster than Immortal Sword’s Sword Escape!
Su Zimo frowned and watched the two of them leave without chasing after them.
The scholar that appeared later had a mysterious background and powerful combat strength. His movement technique was frighteningly fast.
Given his speed, he might not be able to catch up even if he gave chase.
Furthermore, Yan Beichen was severely injured and was still in the bamboo forest behind him.
Su Zimo was worried about what might happen to Yan Beichen if he chased for a prolonged period of time.
He knew very well that although Yan Beichen seemed cold and heartless, he was someone extremely emotional once his heart was moved.
Experiencing such an unforeseen event dealt a huge blow to Yan Beichen.
Although he was indignant, Su Zimo decided to turn around and check on Yan Beichen.
Before long, Su Zimo had already returned to the bamboo forest.
Yan Beichen was kneeling beside Qin Pianran’s corpse with his head lowered. He was motionless with a wooden expression and a hollow gaze.
If it was anyone else, they would have long broken down from yelling hysterically.
However, right from the beginning, Yan Beichen did not say a single word or shout.
He merely looked at Qin Pianran silently.
Su Zimo accompanied him at the side without disturbing.
However, he was truly worried when he looked at the silent Yan Beichen.
If Yan Beichen were to cry out, it might even be better.
The more Yan Beichen was silent, the more worried Su Zimo was!
“Brother Yan, how about talking instead of holding it in?”
Su Zimo could not help but persuade.
“I… am fine,”
After a long time, Yan Beichen said slowly in a deep and hoarse voice.
Su Zimo’s expression relaxed slightly.
All of a sudden!
Yan Beichen opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The moment he spat out that mouthful of blood, Yan Beichen’s lifeforce was clearly much weaker!
His black hair turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Wisdom beyond one’s years brings about harm to oneself while obsessive one-sided love is evanescent.
If Yan Beichen remained the same, his lifespan would be greatly reduced!
Many grisly blood splattered on Qin Pianran’s fair cheeks.
Yan Beichen tore his clothes and wiped away the blood on her face gently and carefully.
The gentleness in Yan Beichen’s eyes made Su Zimo’s heart clench.
He sighed internally and turned away, unable to bear to continue watching.
Just like that, Yan Beichen knelt in front of Qin Pianran for an entire day and night.
He did not take a single step away.
Or rather, his gaze was fixed on Qin Pianran the entire time.
Worried, Su Zimo remained by the side as well.
Morning came and the sun rose.
Su Zimo could not hold it in any longer. He walked forward and took out the elixir jade bottle he snatched from the Grand Primordium Ancient Temple from his storage bag.
Initially, there were two Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixirs in the jade bottle.
Earlier on, Su Zimo had already consumed one before he chased after Immortal Sword.
Actually, he had already sensed a faint, imperceptible killing intent the moment he moved to chase after Immortal Sword.
It was a warning from his spirit perception and was definitely not an illusion.
At that time, Su Zimo’s Essence Spirit was already extremely weak after releasing three Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristics and hundreds of Heaven Slaying Sword Qi.
That was the reason why he only gave chase after consuming a Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir and even released two Essence Spirit secret skills later on!
Right now, there was only a single Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir left in the jade bottle.
Yan Beichen’s Essence Spirit was injured to begin with.
In this battle, he was severely injured by Immortal Sword and now, he was dealt such a blow. If he did not consume the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir, it would probably be impossible for his Essence Spirit to recover completely!
“Brother Yan, consume this elixir first.”
Su Zimo handed the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir over and said softly.
Yan Beichen received it expressionlessly.
Su Zimo felt slightly relieved.
As long as Yan Beichen consumed the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir, he could at least survive.
Before that thought was finished, Yan Beichen squashed it with two fingers!
Instantly, the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir turned into dust and scattered into the mud!
