Chapter 170: Chapter 170 Instantly Killing Xiantian

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The human head was still suspended in mid-air.

The hook arm guy’s head continued to fly higher, displaying an expression of complete and utter loss as though he still wasn’t sure of what had just happened.

All he saw was a sword light suddenly flash in front of him, and although he instinctively wanted to defend he was unable to grasp the attack’s trajectory. The sword attack seemed to change and transform, and no matter how hard he tried to block it his attempts were futile. His martial heart was instantly frightened by the sword attack’s intent.

The head that the attack tossed up flew powerlessly in the air, staring down at the headless body it was once attached to.

Its left hand was missing and was instead replaced by an iron hook, was that not his body? Didn’t this teen not know martial arts, how did he display such exquisite sword techniques?

Blood spurted out of his neck like a fountain and the head of the hook arm man finally fell to the ground.

In every direction, it was deadly silent in almost an instant.

The Ye Family Sisters were stunned as they looked at Zong Shou and the still upright headless corpse, not knowing how to react. Their small mouths widened, large enough that one could shove an egg in them.

As for the woman with the whip and the middle-aged spirit master, the smile on their faces didn’t even have time to fade before their expressions solidified.

They originally thought that the two girls in front of them were easy marks ripe for profit, but little did they know such a change would suddenly occur.

Ye Feihan was startled, wanting to speak several times but freezing each time with her mouth half-open. When the headless corpse finally lost its support and fell to the ground she stammered, “Younger Brother Shou, you aren’t a miner who didn’t know martial arts?”

“It’s not Younger Brother, you must call me Older Brother!”

Zong Shou causally flung the blood off his sword and turned seriously to the two girls, “What do your guesses have to do with me? I never said I’m a miner, you two sisters are so amusing. The younger sister is pure but the older sister is a little dumb…”

Ye Feihan was silent though she wasn’t annoyed, displaying a silly smile while her two eyes curved into a crescent moon. Ye Feishuang exhaled, clenching her fists while flames appeared in her eyes, disbelief and shock running deep inside her.

Before this she didn’t notice any internal energy coming from Zong Shou’s body and thought that he hadn’t cultivated, making the teen in front of her now seem really mysterious.

Causally killing a Xiantian was something not many people could do in this world, much less at his age…

Zong Shou didn’t bother with her any longer, smiling instead at the two enemies beside him. The middle-aged woman slightly hesitated, making the whip in her hand spread out and form a whip image that lashed out toward him with great strength.

Although the kid’s sword easily killed Ah Zhe, the energy it displayed wasn’t that strong, not even being at the Xiantian level. The attack only had a paltry five thousand kilograms of power, so the result must be a coincidence! The attack was simply too sudden and caught Ah Zhe off guard, as no matter how strong a 14-year-old was their strength had to have a feasible limit.

The whip image was vicious, cracking in the sky like a dragon dancing with a snake. At its end was a sharp drill pointed right at Zong Shou’s eyes, and as it charged toward him spikes appeared along its body, multiplying several times.

Zong Shou originally wanted to act cool in front of the two girls and use his fingers to pinch it, but when he was about to he saw the middle-aged woman’s face reveal a gleeful expression, making him exclaim, “The whip is poisoned!”

Casually swinging his sword he cut the whip, which was a Grade Two Spiritual Weapon. Zong Shou’s body flashed and he turned into a blur as he crossed the icy land.

Before when he used the Wind Traveling Spirit Bone, Zong Shou’s footsteps were quite heavy and his every step left a deep hole. With this explosion of speed though, he was very light and flexible and his steps left no marks at all on the snow.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the middle-aged spirit master and slashed out toward him, his first attack breaking the two talismans the spirit master sent out. His second stabbed into the beast soul the man released that had yet to spread, smashing the beast with vigor.

The third attack directly broke the spirit master’s Body Protection Talisman and pierced into his brain, not changing its trajectory and thus directly smashing the man’s head like a watermelon.

Seeing a bundle of green smoke rise Zong Shou coldly laughed, cutting down for his fourth attack and creating seventy feet of true energy that destroyed the spirit master’s soul.

With just a few simple actions his goal was completed in a short moment, and the middle-aged woman also managed to only keep half of her whip. Ye Feishuang and Ye Feihan could only blink after witnessing the Out of Body Realm spirit master being efficiently killed by Zong Shou with just four attacks.

The two of them drew a cold breath, the deceased Xiantian expert and Out of Body spirit master were both people that every power in the Cloud World wanted to recruit, both being top figures of their generation.

Yet under the sword of Zong Shou, they had no defensive ability and he killed the two of them like he was chopping vegetables.

The face of the middle-aged woman turned ashen white, staring with deadly intent at the Ye Family sisters and leaping backward without any hesitation. Her body crossed a thousand feet in an instant, like a big bird gliding in the sky.

Zong Shou was too lazy to even look at her, throwing out a pure black sword light which flashed out toward the woman in an instant.

Although he had recently changed to using the Lightning Tooth Sword, the Black Wave Sword had followed him for a long time and it still did as he intended.

The sword light looked illusionary, moving left and right, up and down erratically. The woman kept avoiding the light and moving frantically, the half-remaining whip releasing numerous whip after-images behind her.

The black sword left the images in its wake, a ball of lightning exploding out and bursting into her chest, forcefully pinning her to the snowy ground.

The lifeforce of a Xiantian expert was really strong and she actually managed to stand up, running for ten steps before falling back down.

Zong Shou frowned upon seeing her corpse, turning and looking at Ye Feishuang, “Where did the three of them come from, how weak!”

During the battle, he didn’t even need to use the strength of the Xiantian level so its conclusion wasn’t enough to satisfy him. Fortunately, the altercation today wasn’t completely over.

Both Ye Feishuang and Ye Feihan were speechless, Peak Xiantian experts were worth at least a thousand men. On the battlefield, without fifty or more nine meridian Mythic Masters or ten initial meridian Xiantian masters, they wouldn’t be able to stop them.

To Zong Shou though, he simply evaluated them as weak.

Ye Feihan awkwardly scratched her face as she didn’t even know where these people came from. Ye Feishuang looked toward Zong Shou carefully, as though she needed to reevaluate everything she knew about him.

After keeping silent for a while, intending to distance herself from him she said, “They came from Canglang Cloud Ocean, have you heard of it?”

She thought that Zong Shou would definitely be uncertain of their origins and when she mentioned it Zong Shou’s brows raised, “Canglang Cloud Ocean? Is that where Juelong City is, with the bunch of crazies that said they wanted to destroy all the Dragon Species left in the world?”

He looked at the two sisters with a semblance of an idea, wondering what relationship Juelong City had with these two girls who seemed to know nothing about the world. He thought back to the horns on their heads, were they really from the Dragon Race? Did their ancestors merge with the blood of the Dragon Race?

“Yes, it’s Juelong City!”

Ye Feishuang was visually shaken by his response, and by attempting to control it made her voice extremely cold, “These three are small fries, the people behind them are the genuinely tough ones. Although Juelong City isn’t listed as a shrine or spirit house, it’s really strong and not weaker than big sects and peak Spiritual Grandmasters. Now that you’ve killed them you need to be really careful in the future!”

Zong Shou sensed her indifferent tone but didn’t worry about it as he could understand how Ye Feishuang was currently feeling.

Smiling slightly, Zong Shou looked behind him at the forest and its many poisonous florae, “So the both of you also came from Canglang Cloud Ocean?”

Holding the Lightning Tooth Sword in his hand and lightly shaking it, combat intent slowly rose in his heart. Compared to the few corpses lain about the two people in the forest were able to pique his interest.

Ye Feishuang was startled as she looked backward, focusing on the foliage but not seeing anything. A strange feeling arose within her, and suddenly a burst of weird laughter rang out. A person suddenly appeared a thousand feet behind the sisters and he looked sly, with a small face but huge body.

From the forest of trees opposite him a black-robed man walked out. He was covered by a veil so that one couldn’t see his face, though his youth was evident. He clapped while strolling over, “How dazzling, the trip was well worth it! Who knew that the Gantian Mountain Prince everyone thought was trash actually had such a strong sword!”

Once the clapping stopped, the black-robed teen was already five hundred feet away from Zong Shou, staring at him with some interest, “If I am not wrong, you have broken through to the Xiantian Realm?”

Ye Feishuang’s body instantly shook. She had thought this teen was a miner. It wasn’t until just before that she found out she was amusingly wrong.

However, she didn’t expect him to actually be the prince of Gantian Mountain.

West of Donglin Cloud Continent, the ruler of the monster race, with millions of people under them. No matter how little they knew, they had heard the name of Gantian Mountain.

Such an identity was something even those big sects needed to tread carefully.

Those spirit houses and shrines might have Ascended Ancestors or Out of Body Realm spirit masters that could sweep everything.

But, if the millions of troops of Gantian Mountain mobilized, with a commander that knew how to utilize their strength, they would be able to go up against spirit houses and sects that were considered stronger.

Zong Shou nodded, honestly admitting, “Not long ago I entered the Xiantian Realm. My realm hasn’t stabilized, so I am making a fool of the two of you!”
