When that line of blood sprayed out, the remaining two blue swordsmen were totally stunned.
Zhou Yu, at the back, couldn't believe what he was seeing. Were his eyes playing tricks on him? Although the fellow who died was far from the skill of the Li Family brothers, he was still at the peak of a martial soldier and had opened up three meridians. His sword technique was also exquisite amongst those of the same rank. He was so easily stabbed in the throat, and by that cousin-brother who couldn't even open a single chakra meridian.
Zong Shuo's actions didn't stop at all!
"Swallow energy!"
His vital energy flowed in the opposite direction, and his Chakra Meridians went against the flow. A strong absorption force exploded from the tip of the Pine Pattern Wind Sword, sucking out all the strength and signs of life from the body. It turned them into energy gathered within the sword.
Unfortunately, his Spirit Eye was not opened. If not, he would see that this person's soul was also absorbed by his sword!
Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion; this technique was just that cruel. Swallowing and absorbing Heaven and Earth, anything could be swallowed!
Before the energy from the corpse flowed into his body, a green flow exploded out from the Pine Pattern Wind Sword.
Half of the essence energy started to awaken the Wind Series spirit talisman within the sword after the sword body was energized. The sword lit up once more, and the footsteps of Zong Shou were like that of a lingbo dance. Inconceivably, he appeared beside another person.
"Yan Xiang!"
The beautiful and exquisite green light flashed lightly, and a head flew into the air. Large amounts of blood and brain matter surged out from the broken point.
Those two blue-shirted swordsmen fell one after another. Everyone present was totally silent. One could only hear the intense slashing of swords a thousand feet away.
There was a sense of loss on all of their faces. The cynical expression on Zong Yu's face still hadn't faded.
In an instance, two people were chopped down! One was stabbed in the throat, while the other was beheaded!
Moreover, all the sword styles and footwork techniques he used were normal to the max. Anyone that cultivated needed to learn these basics. However, in Zong Shou's hands, these techniques had an inconceivable amount of strength!
Zong Yu was stunned for a short moment, before the last wolf-race swordsman was slain in one slash. When he looked at Zong Shou, who was surging over with speed that was increasing by several times over, Zong Yu felt his heart tremble. In that moment, he actually felt fear.
It was like the person he was facing wasn't that trash that he bullied when he was a kid. Instead, it was a true expert boiling with killing intent.
Those narrow and long phoenix eyes didn't have the calm and gentleness as before. All that was left was ice-cold killing intent, which made his pupils sting with pain.
Just as trepidation rose in his heart, and his senses were on the verge of collapse, two loud hollers spread out from beside him at the same time. Zong Yu returned to his senses, only to see Li Ling and Li Du both charging out. At the same time, he felt embarrassed that he actually felt afraid. Afraid of this cousin-brother…
In the end, he still had not experienced much, and just two peak Martial Warriors had made him panic. He was a middle-ranked Martial Master who had broken through five meridians! He needed just a year to break through into the Mythic Master rank!
Frowning, Zong Yu also drew his sword. The next moment, he looked out toward Zong Shou, and he saw Zong Shou's left hand flip and a green light streak out. For some reason, a bloody streak appeared on the throat of Li Ling on the left. His eyes went totally round, staring in death to the front in disbelief.
"What was that?"
As the blood flowed out, Zong Yu was still in a daze. Looking carefully, he noticed that a green flying knife was driven into Li Ling's throat. It looked like a willow leaf, and also had blood patterns on it. Moreover, it was as thin as a cicada wing!
His eyes couldn't help but contract. A flying knife? Li Ling and Li Du were both four meridian Martial Masters, so they were just a little weaker than him. They had also been through tens of tough battles, yet they died to a flying knife?
What secret technique was that? If that flying knife flew toward him, could he escape?
"Li Ling!"
A tragic shout rose in the wilderness. Li Du's speed suddenly exploded. His expression was savage as he charged toward the thin image. He waved his giant sword as he hacked down.
The current Zong Shou only had Li Du in his eyes. After that flying knife shot out, he didn't bother about it anymore.
Six God Defensive Knife, breaking the spirit, taking the life! No one can live!
However, half of the energy taken from the three people through the Energy Swallowing Technique was used up by that knife.
His eyes focusing, the Luantai Extra Point in his body exploded. The true qi stored inside gathered up the remnant energy, causing a huge storm around the Pine Pattern Wind Sword. A green light shone out.
"Charge!"
Another simple charge; however, the sword was unstoppable. When the two swords met, a crisp "Dang!" sound broke out and sparks flew.
The huge recoil caused both of them to lean backward. Just as Li Du was still trying to stabilize his body, Zong Shou's right foot had already stepped on the ground. He used the foot as a pivot to spin in the air.
"Swallow return!"
The sword shadow was light and quick, and it easily left a bloody cut across Li Du's throat.
It was not a millimeter too deep nor was it a millimeter too shallow. The move had directly cut his veins and blood vessels.
Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion also swallowed up all the life essence and soul of this low Grade Martial Master.
The Pine Pattern Wind Sword in his hand shook, giving out a sweet ringing. Zong Shou stood still and coldly looked at Zong Yu, who now was only a few steps away.
It wasn't that he wasn't willing to kill this piece of trash at the same time. Rather, it was because within his body, his meridians were boiling and his energy was running rampant. Although the Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion Technique and those extra acupoints were all top secret arts, one had to pay a heavy price to use them; this was especially true for someone with a body like his.
If he killed Zong Yu now, Zong Shou would probably collapse on the spot.
At the current moment, be it Zong Yu or Su Chuxue, they were both still in a trance. Looking at the extra bodies that had fallen to the grass, they were pretty much unable to tear their eyes away.
They similarly couldn't believe that two low Grade Martial Masters and three peak Martial Warriors had died under the sword of Zong Shou in such a simple and clean manner.
The entire process took less than sixty breaths of time.
Su Chuxue was originally lying limply on the ground in despair. At the current moment, she was lost and looked around, confused.
Not long ago, she still thought that they definitely wouldn't be able to survive. After a short moment, the entire situation had turned around.
When she didn't believe it, she touched her wounds. They really hurt!
After a few breaths, the storm in Zong Shou's body had calmed down slightly. He smiled towards Xue'er, "Do you remember how the scars on my cousin came about?"
Su Chuxue came to her senses. Instantly, she pushed out her chest, not bothering about the dizziness from losing a lot of blood, "Zong Yu offended you, master ordered people to whip him for three days and three nights using the Dragon Whip. Chase him out of Gantian Mountain and make him a slave. Make him remember that our prince cannot be offended!"
"Shut up!" Zong Yu's face was totally twisted, flushing red. Instantly, countless bloody scars appeared, extremely ugly. He gripped both his hands; he was filled with energy, the grass around him rising into the air.
Rage like a maniac. Zong Yu stepped forward, only to see Zong Shou looking expressionlessly at him with a smile that wasn't a smile.
It was like buckets of water being poured down onto him. All of his rage disappeared. If this Zong Zhou was strong enough to kill the Li Family brothers, escaping was unknown, let alone taking revenge today .
His expression turned dark and cold, as he contemplated for a short moment. Zong Yu gritted his teeth and leapt toward Su Chuxue.
He saw the lips of the young man coldly rise up.
It was like a slight breeze came from the sleeve of that right hand, and numerous white lights shot through the air. With no way to dodge, his throat was pierced.
Zong Yu could even hear the sound of his throat bone shattering. Fresh blood left his body under high pressure.
As his line of sight grew dimmer, he saw Zong Shou stopping right in front of him.
"Unfortunately for these legendary techniques, the one using them is actually such trash…"
Zong Shou retrieved the Willow Mark flying knife from the neck of Zong Yu, who had died in discontent. Zong Shou casually flicked his hand and flung all the blood off.
The spiritual connection he developed with this flying knife had been totally cut off the moment it left his hand. He was just using the action to mask his Heaven Energy Swallowing Conversion Technique sucking away all of the remaining vital energy and essence energy from Zong Yu.
He wasn't interested in taking another look at Zong Yu. He patted Chuxue's head, laughing as he walked straight towards where the intense saber and sword were clashing a thousand feet away.
To say that Zong Yu and the others were trash definitely wasn't to anger them, but because deep down he actually felt that way.
The one that truly felt dangerous was still Wu Wei five hundred paces away, already heavily injuring Yin Yang and suppressing him such that he couldn't fight back. Only this person was worthy of being treated seriously.
Martial Masters who entered the middle stages were much stronger compared to a low stage Martial Master. Even if he was unable to swallow the energy right away, the energy that Zong Yu contributed was at least thirty percent more than that of the Li brothers.
But even if he absorbed all of this energy, along with the true qi stored up in his body, he could only fire one flying knife that could challenge a seven-meridians-opened Mythic Master.
If it succeeded he would be able to live; if not he would die!
Zong Shou paused slightly beside the shrivelled and thin corpse when he reached it.
He couldn't help but praise Yin Yang. Although he didn't know the name of this dead person, from the way his bones and muscles were shining, his cultivation was obviously above Martial Master and in the Mythic Master Realm.
Yin Yang killed this person in such a domineering manner. Although he had suffered heavy injuries, it saved him from fighting one against two. At the current moment those heavy knife shadows were as solemn and serious as a wall. Under the vast and mighty sword light, he could barely hold on, showing his determination and resilience.
If this was placed in the future God Emperor game, even though it couldn't be considered a small boss, it was at least it was an elite level character.
Moving over here, he could feel that unrestrained wind suppressing him, gusts of energy were slashing at his skin, and he felt a lot of pain. Moreover, Wu Wei's sharp eyes swept over time after time.
Pretty much every step he took he had to tighten up his focus. He was taking a huge risk, and one bit of carelessness or misstep would cost him his life. With how fast this person's movements and sword was, to take his life within a hundred steps wouldn't even take half a second. It would just be the blink of an eye.
Zong Shou still continued on, his expression without fear. Only when he was fifty yards away did he stop. Right hand holding his sword, left hand reaching into his sleeve, a small knife sticking out, its cold light glowing.
The flying knife in his hand could reach instantly such a distance.
"Young Master!"
Chuxue anxiously chased behind him, her eyes filled with disbelief. No matter how strong Zong Shou's skills were, his internal energy was still limited. It would be too much for him to interfere in a battle between two Mythic Masters, he was thinking too highly of himself.
But while she was feeling worried, she saw that not far away, that relentless sword light had suddenly stopped. The saber image rose, its aura even exceeding that of the sword light.
Zong Shou was just standing there and could see that huge cold sweat beads had formed on Wu Wei's forehead. His eyes couldn't help but sweep at Zong Shou's left hand, like he dreaded it.
Only then was she stunned, as in that person's eyes, Zong Shou's flying knife was actually so strong!
When she watched Zong Shou practicing the flying knife, apart from feeling that it was fast, precise, simple, and that it threatened her, she didn't have any other feeling.
However today, be it that Li Ling or Zong Yu, when faced against that Willow Mark flying knife, they couldn't even try to dodge.
At this moment, this knife in his hand even threatened Burning Sword Wu Wei, who had killed numerous Mythic Masters!
In those dry eyes, apart from anger and shock, there were actually intentions of backing off.
However, it was like Zong Shou didn't pick that up, his mouth breaking into a smile, his eyes looked like they were closed, but they weren't. His legs moved one ahead of the other, like he was asleep. As time went on, his entire aura slowly disappeared.
That Wu Wei was losing his composure, his sword light becoming chaotic and unfocused, losing all the flow to it. In just eight minutes he had suffered injuries from Yin Yang's saber.
After holding on for a short while longer, he finally lost all will to fight. The sword image slapped the ground ablaze, pushing Yin Yang back before swiftly retreating into the distance without any hesitation.
And just at that moment, Zong Shou's face twitched, blood building up in his mouth. He knelt down onto the ground, a series of endless and heart-tearing light coughs continuing.
Wu Wei had only taken a few steps away when he showed his surprise. He slightly hesitated before turning around. He directly avoided Yin Yang, his sword glow like that of a dragon as it struck out.
Chuxue instantly panicked, Yin Yang's expression changed, the saber glows around him all retracting, exploding a bunch of more intense saber shadows sweeping right at Wu Wei's back. However, his speed was a full beat slower.
In just one breath, the distance between the two closed to ten feet.
The sword tip was already in front of him. Zong Shou's eyes suddenly opened, although it was painful to the extreme, but his mind was still thinking clearly, filled with cold killing intent and cynicality.
"Unfortunate. You had such a good chance, why didn't you escape?"
All the energy he had swallowed, the four Wind Spirit Extra Acupoints, all the true qi flowing in his chakra meridian. At that moment, all of them were gathered at a point in his finger tip. The knife was inside his sleeve, held by his left hand. Without any movement at all, a flash of indiscernible white light suddenly broke the air.
Wu Wei, who was in midleap was astonished. The sword in his hand just needed to cross five feet to claim the teenager's life. However, he didn't dare to proceed forwards.
With a light scoff, his image actually managed to twist in the air without anything to rely on, drawing an arc to avoid that knife glow.
Just when he was going to heave a sigh of relief and laugh, he saw that marked knife actually suddenly change its course. It weirdly drew close to him, and Wu Wei's eyes instantly contracted.
"A flying knife changing direction! How is that possible?!" he shouted as he retreated backwards like a storm. He had just made it fifty feet away when he felt a sharp pain in his right eye.
That cicada-wing-thin flying knife, after driving into his eyeball, pierced right into his brain.
How dangerous it was, barely being able to stop the momentum of the flying knife and use the bone of the socket to block the point. Wu Wei's brain was filled with an intense dizzying pain. Before that disappeared, his expression changed once more. It was ashen white, the color of death.
The knife glow chasing after him exploded, instantly swallowing him up.
At the last moment before he lost consciousness, Wu Wei only had one thought.
What an exquisite flying knife! How is there such a godly technique in this world?
The next moment, large amounts of fresh blood splattered out, dyeing the green grass bright red.
Personally seeing Wu Wei being killed by Yin Yang, Zong Shou felt his entire being relax. His eyes went dark.
The reason why he coughed blood wasn't because he was trying to lure him over, but because his body was finding it hard to hold on. After this last knife, it totally collapsed.
This stupid dual meridian body is so weak…, he thought before he totally lost consciousness.
When Chuxue behind him saw that, she immediately stepped forwards to support his body and prevent him from falling to the ground. Her expression was a little weird. Apart from the joy of surviving at the brink of death, she also felt a little lost.
During the battle of today, the Young Master pretty much used his own strength to settle everything, while she had been a total burden.
