Lin Ya’s hands flicked in succession, the Water-Based Palm Prints targeting Zi Xiao with irresistible force.
Ling Chang wielded and swayed the blade in her hand, echoing Lin Ya’s Palm Print.
Su Mo moved to strike Zi Xiao one more time with a stronger sword attack.
With Lin Ya and Ling Shang cooperating, taking down Zi Xiao would not be a problem.
Facing the trio’s siege, Zi Xiao found himself in a huge crisis
But he acted quickly. He began to defend with all his might, waving the long sword in his hand as the gray Source Power formed a huge emblem in front of him.
Life force and death force fused together in the emblem, like a large Yin Yang emblem, giving off a mysterious aura.
Rumble!
A loud noise shook the ground. The trio’s attacks landed on the emblem.
The emblem collapsed, the energy bursting with a surging motion.
An!
There was a horrible cry as Zi Xiao’s body was instantly shot outwards, leaving behind a large trail of blood.
Zi Xiao was strong, but he was no match for the trio’s combined attack. He had been severely injured, even half of his flesh was damaged beyond repair.
“Haha, You can’t kill me!” He cackled and, taking advantage of the repelling force, ran away at top speed.
The rich life force in his body circulated, healing the injury in an instant, as though he had never been hurt.
“You can’t escape!”
Ina flash, Su Mo gave chase. As long as the man was within his devouring range, he could not escape.
Ling Chang and Lin Ya followed suit, chasing after Zi Xiao.
Zi Xiao was fast as he belted into space, but under the force of the devouring power, he could not shake off the trio.
In no time at all, the trio had closed in on Zi Xiao, enough to produce their strongest attack.
“Come back!”
Su Mo charged his sword forward again. A huge sword shadow wrapped up in monstrous power struck Zi Xiao’s back.
This was a powerful strike. Not only was the attack a majestic one, it also contained the power of the Devouring Rule and the Five Elements Rule, which was enough to defeat an Advanced Supreme Being.
Swoosh!
Lin Ya attacked too. She pointed a finger, allowing a force to explode from its tip. A rope condensed by Water-Based Power found its way to winding around Zi Xiao.
Hers was a Super Power mainly used to trap Zi Xiao.
Ling Chang also acted in concert with Su Mo. They had to do everything they could to make him stay down, because Zi Xiao’s Life-and-death Force was quite bizarre.
In an instant, Zi Xiao was facing life and death again. His face tuned wild.
He had to think quickly. It seemed it would be impossible to escape unscathed at that moment. Su Mo’s devouring power was the stumbling block to his escape.
“Su Mo, I’ll get you someday!”
It was as if Zi Xiao had come to a certain decision. With a loud cry, instead of retreating, he charged towards the trio.
Boom!
There was a terrifying explosion as Zi Xiao’s body imploded when it approached them.
An implosion by a Middle-rank Supreme Being–and a pretty strong one too–was certainly devastating, its terrifying force akin to a doomsday.
The huge storm directly sent the trio flying for thousands of miles
Ling Chang, who was relatively weak, became pale. Her blood and Qi flowed backwards as she suffered some minor injuries.
Rumble!
The terrifying power swept through the stars, like a doomsday storm, sweeping in all directions.
“He let himself explode!” Su Mo appeared frustrated. He needed Zi Xiao’s Life-and-Death Primordial Spirit and Life-and-death Rule, and yet the man had gone and imploded.
He did not understand how a person could be so staunch.
“How ruthless!” Lin Ya exclaimed. As a Middle-rank Supreme Being, the man was no weaker than she was, and yet he had willingly let himself implode.
“Su Mo, he’s escaped!” In a flash, Ling Chang came up to Su Mo, looking solemn.
“Escaped?” he pronounced doubtfully. “How could he survive after that explosion? What about his Primordial Spirit?”
“Tknow him. His Life-and-Death Primordial Spirit is basically indestructible, he has the ability to rise from the dead, and can recover quickly from any serious injuries. He can’t die!” Ling Chang said. She had lived with Zi Xiao in the Supreme Being Palace for hundreds and thousands of years. She knew his
skills very well.
The Life-and-death Primordial Spirit could switch between life and death, and could easily rise from the dead as well.
Su Mo frowned when he heard that. His Holy Senses covered all directions as his gaze scanned the stars above. He found no trace of Zi Xiao at all.
“T’ve underestimated him!”
A moment later, Su Mo heaved a long sigh. Perhaps it was good news for him, knowing that the man was not dead.
He had been unable to devour Zi Xiao this time, but there would be other chances, As time passed, he would get stronger, and devouring Zi Xiao would only get easier.
“Let’s go!” Lin Ya glanced at the rear and said to her two companions in a hurry. She realized they were being watched, probably by Ye Jin’s accomplices in the Qing Hua Branch.
“Go!” Su Mo promptly shouted too as they pressed on to the Palmy Branch.
They went off together at rapid speed. In the blink of an eye, they had disappeared from the end of space.
“Brother Ye Jin, aren’t you going to attack?” a young man next to Ye Jin asked as a group of disciples from the Qing Hua branch watched the trio leave.
“Tm not absolute certain I’ll succeed, so I won’t for now,” Ye Jin shook his head expressionlessly. Although he was very confident in his own skills, he had no confidence that he could kill off Su Mo, Lin Ya, and Ling Chang.
Even the five assassins together had been unable to win.
Most importantly, the people he had brought along were not too strong. None of them were Advanced Supreme Beings.
Moreover, he had not originally planned to kill the trio, but to have others restrain Lin Ya and Ling Chang so that he could kill Su Mo himself.
But since he was not absolutely sure now, he would not make a move, otherwise once the news leaked that he had killed Su Mo, Reverend Jin Wu would not stop pursuing revenge.
Other than that, the previous battle had cause a large ruckus, making it unsuitable to strike now.
His skills, the timing, and the current situation all stopped him from making a move.
So, he had decided to give up for now.
“If you don’t do it now, then you’ll just have to wait for another chance at the Headquarters Selection!” said another disciple of Qing Hua Branch.
“Yes, I’ll have a chance there!” Ye Jin sighed. He said nothing more and turned to leave. He had to report his lack of success and the actual situation to his teacher..
