Chapter 456: Forgive My Inability to Comply

“Nobody thought that Divine Phoenix Island would have produced a paragon as such. Yet, it’s a pity that he has to die beneath the Human Emperor’s Palace.”

“He died a worthwhile death trading the lives of seven other paragons and a couple of Sealers.”

The cultivators watching that blood-stained and swaying figure from afar had complicated expressions as they discussed in hushed whispers with looks of pity.

That lone figure looked pitiable and tragic.

The cultivators knew that Divine Phoenix Island’s successor was about to die and no one could save him!

Su Zimo was indeed in a disastrous situation.

His left chest was punctured with blood gushing out, his collarbone was smashed and broken while his abdomen had a frightening wound that was so bad his intestines would have spilled out if he wasn’t clutching it with his hands.

Su Zimo could feel his vitality draining from him!

Fresh blood was still flowing.

His injuries were not showing any signs of healing or recovery.

This meant that his injuries had already exceeded the limits of his regeneration capabilities!

The Sealers of Formless Monastery and Illusion Fiend Cult had yet to make their moves.

Even if they were to stand by the sidelines and watch idly, before long, he would still run out of blood and die all the same.

Su Zimo’s head was giddy and his vision blurred, as if a familiar blood-colored figure flashed before him.

“Miss Die...”

Instinctively, he called out softly.

There was no response. The figure in front turned slightly and raised her brows, glancing at him with endless worry and pity.

A faint fragrance wafted over and Su Zimo was momentarily invigorated as he struggled to open his eyes and look over.

After a moment of daze, he opened his mouth but failed to say anything. His head slumped down with evident disappointment.

It was not Die Yue.

It was Demoness Ji.

He had lost too much blood and his vision was blurry. Coupled with the fact that he had been yearning about her for years, Su Zimo mistook Demoness Ji’s pink-colored dress as a blood red color.

She... has already left long ago and won’t be coming back.

I still couldn’t catch up to her in the end. There’s no more chance left.

Hais.

Su Zimo sighed deeply and his body swayed. His eyelids were heavy and gradually, his consciousness was gone as he fell into the endless abyss.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ears, jolting Su Zimo’s mind and pulling him back from the abyss of death!

“Seniors, please let him off.”

It was Demoness Ji’s voice and she was right in front of him.

“Demoness, get lost!”

Formless Monastery’s Sealer walked over slowly and hollered with a terrifying aura.

“Even if you guys don’t attack, he won’t be able to survive. What’s so bad about leaving him with a complete corpse?”

Demoness Ji did not leave and her voice sounded once more, “The Buddhist sects advocate kindness, so why are you so bent on killing him?”

“The only way to ensure that nothing goes wrong is to kill him personally,”

Formless Monastery’s Sealer was unmoved and he said with a shimmering gaze, “Demoness, if you don’t get lost, I’ll kill you together with him!”

A moment later, Demoness Ji’s voice sounded once more. Although it was calm and firm, it was shocking!

“Forgive my inability to comply,”

Those words revealed a determination.

It was an unwavering conviction to not back off despite knowing that it would result in death!

Su Zimo’s expression changed.

She was facing a Sealer.

This was a Sealer who was completely enraged and could kill her with a single move!

Su Zimo did not expect that given the circumstances, Demoness Ji would stand forth and defend him with reckless abandon unyieldingly.

“What a foolish woman,”

His lips shifted and his voice was as soft and inaudible as a mosquito.

“Very well then...”

Formless Monastery’s Sealer nodded expressionlessly as killing intent surged in his eyes. “Since you wish to die, I’ll fulfill your wishes!”

Boom!

He channeled his Golden Core and burst forth with his full power – it was an instant attack with a massive rise in aura!

“Formless Finger!”

Reaching out with his finger, he tapped in Demoness Ji’s direction.

Instantly, heaven and earth shook!

How was that a finger?

It was clearly a heavenly-piercing pillar that streaked through the void with unbridled might, charging over as though it wanted to crush Demoness Ji into smithereens!

Su Zimo clenched his teeth and wanted to block the move for Demoness Ji.

However, he was too severely injured and he had no strength left to budge.

Demoness Ji blinked her eyes and a ripple appeared in her beautiful eyes, sending forth a bewitching beam that entered the eyes of Formless Monastery’s Sealer.

Removing her veil, Demoness Ji revealed a flawless face and smiled charmingly.

It was a charm that could topple the world!

Even the cultivators who were watching from afar were stunned and drooled with agape mouths, let alone Formless Monastery’s Sealer who was right opposite.

She did not merely use the Bewitching Eye.

That was the limit of the Pure Maiden Sutra’s powers!

“Hmm?”

Although Formless Monastery’s Sealer was a Golden Core, he had not cultivated the secret skills of Diamond Monastery and was unable to counter the Pure Maiden Sutra perfectly. His heart wavered for a moment and the power of Formless Finger weakened.

“Go!”

At the same time, Demoness Ji sent forth a ribbon that shone with a bright spirit light, colliding against the incoming Formless Finger.

Bang!

There was a deafening sound.

Demoness Ji’s expression changed starkly as her petite figure shuddered, stumbling in retreat repeatedly.

With every single step back, she would spit out a mouthful of blood that was extremely striking!

Not everyone could endure the full-powered attack of Sealers like Su Zimo.

If not for the fact that Formless Monastery’s Sealer was distracted and the power of Formless Finger was diminished, Demoness Ji would have been torn apart and died!

Even so, by the time she staggered backwards to Su Zimo’s side, she was already severely injured and on the brink of death.

A series of sinister tears appeared behind Formless Monastery’s Sealer.

“Humph!”

With a grim expression, he sneered, “I’ll give you guys a large gift before my death so that you two lovebirds can go to Hell together!”

Before his sentence was finished, a stream of fire burst forth from the Formless Monastery’s Sealer’s finger and arrived before the two of them.

His flames were fiery red and there was even a shade of gold mixed within, letting off a terrifying aura.

True Fire!

True Fires came above Level 3 Spirit Fires!

Only Golden Cores who possessed fire spirit roots could cultivate True Fires that could incinerate all Foundation Establishment Cultivators and even burn pure-blooded ferocious beasts at Foundation Establishment realm to ashes!

Su Zimo’s eyes twitched furiously.

He was a Weapon Refinement Master as well and had mastery over flames; naturally, he knew of how powerful true fires were.

Previously, none of the Sealers produced true fires because they were not cultivators with fire spirit roots.

Heaving a deep breath of air, Su Zimo used all his might to push away Demoness Ji who was in front of him while bellowing deeply, “Get away!”

Swoosh!

The flames landed on Su Zimo and surged, burning his entire body!

In the blink of an eye, he was a man engulfed in flames.
