NOVPUBAnd now, as Su Changkong’s Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core fused into his Primordial Spirit, the might it unleashed truly reached the level of looking down upon those with Divine Bodies!
"Not good!"
Blood Jade Hall faintly sensed something ominous. He channeled his Divine Skills, and the blood-red river, resembling the River of the Underworld, twisted and strangled, wrapping around him, yet it could only reduce a small part of the force of the Primordial Spirit. The Primordial Spirit tore through the blood river, continuously slicing at Blood Jade Hall.
"Clang clang clang!"
Each collision was incredibly taxing for Blood Jade Hall.
A long defense is bound to falter, but with Su Changkong a thousand miles away, Blood Jade Hall simply couldn’t attack Su Changkong himself. And although he thought of escaping, Su Changkong’s speed, when he activated Deer Play’s escape technique, was not slower than his.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Blood Jade Hall cursed inwardly, never imagining he would be driven to such a state by a Divine Seed Martial Saint.
"Crack!"
The Primordial Spirit, along with the Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core, collided with Blood Jade Hall once more, and the blade formed by Blood Jade Hall’s Divine Skills could no longer bear it, breaking apart and exploding. The Primordial Spirit barged straight through, chopping towards Blood Jade Hall’s neck.
"Roar!"
Blood Jade Hall let out a thunderous roar. Divine Patterns wound around his palm as he reached out to grasp the incoming Primordial Spirit.
"Hisss!"
But all five of Blood Jade Hall’s fingers were neatly severed, and the Blade-shaped Primordial Spirit swept past Blood Jade Hall’s neck. A feeling of top-heaviness washed over him. Blood Jade Hall’s head detached from his body, and blood gushed from the severed neck like a fountain.
Blood Jade Hall’s face was marked with fear and ferocity, and the Divine Patterns in his severed neck flickered, exuding a pulling force, trying to reattach his head to his neck. The life force of those with Divine Bodies was resilient; even a decapitation didn’t guarantee death.
But the head could not rejoin the neck at all. Being sliced by Su Changkong’s Primordial Spirit was dual damage to both the body and the Sea of Consciousness, the soul. Even the Immortal Body of a Demon Monster could not repair such an injury!
"No!"
Blood Jade Hall roared unwillingly, but he couldn’t resist the arrival of death. The Primordial Spirit spiraled, cutting Blood Jade Hall’s head to pieces.
Blood Jade Hall, dead!
Blood Jade Hall would never have expected to lose his life to the hands of a Divine Seed Martial Saint!
"We’ve won!"
Su Changkong also released a long breath of relief. His Primordial Spirit, carrying the Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core, swiftly flew back to his body.
Waves of weakness overtook him. Su Changkong’s Primordial Spirit and the Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core both became exceedingly dim. This extreme outburst was unsustainable for Su Changkong, who was consuming a vast amount of energy every moment.
Had Blood Jade Hall managed to hold on a bit longer just now, Su Changkong would have inevitably collapsed, forced to give up the chase.
"Fortunately... Although Blood Jade Hall managed to forge a Divine Body, his foundation was unstable. Compared to Gu Ming of the same Divine Body Realm, there was a clear gap."
After killing a Divine Body expert, Su Changkong didn’t become complacent. He knew that, against someone with the profound foundation of a Divine Body expert like Gu Ming, even with all his efforts, he would still not have the slightest chance of victory!
But Su Changkong didn’t belittle himself either. He had just entered the Second Layer of the Entering Saint Realm, and with scarcely any Divine Patterns, yet he’d managed to force Blood Jade Hall into defeat—and with the power of his Primordial Spirit, he’d managed to kill him outright. This was monstrous, beyond what any ordinary person could imagine.
Should he reach the Third Layer of the Entering Saint Realm and maximize the number of his Divine Patterns, Su Changkong’s strength was sure to have enormous room for improvement. Defeating someone like Jiang Yao of the Ancient Clan elite was not impossible!
With a wave of his hand, Su Changkong collected Blood Jade Hall’s corpse into the Bag of Book Fragrance.
"Hmm? Blood Jade Hall’s aura has dissipated? He... is dead?"
At this moment, Gu Ming, who was battling with Jiang Yao, suddenly changed his expression.
Facing Jiang Yao had been quite easy for Gu Ming; as long as he held his own against Jiang Yao, Blood Jade Hall would have easily escaped. But Gu Ming now felt Blood Jade Hall’s aura from thousands of miles away surge then quickly darken and completely vanish.
This signified Blood Jade Hall had fallen!
"How is this possible? Blood Jade Hall is dead? Killed by that young man?"
Gu Ming was astonished, somewhat in disbelief. It was already quite difficult for Su Changkong to force Blood Jade Hall into flight with the mystery of his Divine Skills, but if Blood Jade Hall had decided to run, killing him should have been impossible.
"What method did this kid use? Is he another incredible prodigy from the Jiang Family?"
Gu Ming’s expression darkened. His thoughts raced, but he didn’t continue to fight with Jiang Yao, instead, he flashed away, exiting the battle.
Gu Ming’s wrinkled face was filled with coldness as he took a deep look at Jiang Yao, "Mountain Leader Jiang, what a move... I shall take my leave without further disturbance!"
With the support of the Yama Hell Sect behind him, Gu Ming wasn’t afraid to offend Jiang Yao. But of course, he dared not harm Jiang Yao’s life, which would be tantamount to offending the entire Jiang Family; he had to be cautious!
Now that Blood Jade Hall was dead, he knew there was no need to linger further.
Whoosh!
Gu Ming’s figure flashed, vanishing rapidly towards the horizon.
As for Jiang Yao, he also did not give chase.
Jiang Yao was both surprised and elated: "Elder Su really killed Blood Jade Hall?"
"The Primordial Spirit... indeed extraordinary!"
Jiang Yao sighed, knowing Su Changkong must have used his Primordial Spirit.
Su Changkong was no Reincarnator; at such a young age, he had cultivated a Primordial Spirit, and that was why the Elder Council had decided to grant him the status of a Guest Elder!
"The Sect Leader... is dead?"
Meanwhile, the disciples of Blood River Sect were each in a state of panic, already at a disadvantage against the onslaught of the Heavenly Saint Soldiers. Now, sensing Blood Jade Hall’s demise, their will to fight was instantly shattered.
"Run! Run!"
Without the courage to continue fighting, the disciples of Blood River Sect scattered in all directions, but in the face of the Heavenly Saint Soldiers’ pursuit, it was nearly a one-sided slaughter.
