Chapter 538: Blood-Kill Twin Flags

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Seeing that Zong Shou's soul was completely unscathed on the peak of Mysterious Cloud Mountain, the thousands of Blood Cloud Cavalry relaxed.

Zong Yuan's eyes flashed, and he took up the helm of the formation, replacing Zong Shou as the leader of the army.

“Raise the flag! Blood! Kill! No mercy!”

As these words were said, standard-bearers raised two huge flags.

On one was written 'Blood' and on the other, 'Kill.'

Zong Yuan pointed with the halberd. “Change formation, spread out a thousand feet wide, Goose Formation! Clear out the rest of the enemies!”

The bloody cavalry instantly split into units of three hundred. The units were a thousand feet apart. The entire formation was sixteen thousand feet wide, and it began to sweep over the rest of the troops at the base of the mountain.

Where the red mist passed, no survivors remained.

At the mountain's base, they were like death gods, claiming life after life.

Everyone on the battlefield was focused on those two blood-coloured flags.

Tiandou and Liehe, who were casting the Pinnacle Space Dome Formation from above, laughed out loud. “Its the Blood-Kill Twin Flags! The ruler didn't lie to us. He really is going to wipe them all out! If the promise on the twin flags is not kept, blood will flow for a thousand miles! If the enemy is not wiped out, the weapons will vanish! Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect will die! Yuankong, Yuankong, when you joined the Lingyun Sect to attack our Fuling Sect, did you think your Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect would face a day when you were eradicated by others? Today, your Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect is doomed. No one will survive!”

As they spoke, in a frenzy, they injected more soul power into that golden tray.

Their disciples and the remaining cultivators of Fuling Sect flew at their sides.

None of them made a sound, each shaping formations to help Mingdou and Liehe. This small group worked together to help make the formation covering Heaven and Earth firmer and tougher.

Right now, there was nothing more exciting than witnessing their enemies falling one by one.

Below, Shui Lingxiao sighed. Her expression filled with awe and also a little reluctance; it was extremely complicated.

“To think Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect's ten thousand years of work will be destroyed in a day. His highness really wants to destroy this mountain…”

Tianqi smiled, not caring at all. “How else could he form a dynasty? Ruler has been enduring for over a year to allow the Donglin Sects and elites of the Thousand City Alliance gather on Mysterious Cloud Mountain. How could he show mercy now?”

Just then, the Kongqi Sect disciples controlling the Energy Destroying Crossbows looked over, their eyes asking for instruction.

Tianqi waved his hands and told them to continue. Since Zong Shou was completely unharmed by the attacks of thousand of spells and spiritual artifacts, then these crossbow bolts couldn't be a problem.

Amongst this group of people, there were still many who didn't understand. Jingyin was totally lost. “What is the meaning of the 'Blood' and 'Kill' flags? Why is everyone behaving like that?”

She was only a little familiar with Zhao Yanran, and didn't expect to receive a reply.

However, the moment she said those words, Kongyao frowned. “It is the Blood-Kill Twin Flags! Ten thousand years ago, one of the bad habits of the Wulie Country Blood Cloud Cavalry.

Every time they wanted to commit a massacr,e they would raise these flags. Every time these flags were raised, blood would flow for a thousand miles around. They weren't allowed to let anyone surrender or let anyone live. They wiped out anyone in their path. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been allowed to keep their weapons. That Monster King is prepared to not leave anyone from Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect alive…”

Jingyin's body instantly shuddered, and she placed her palms together and started chanting to the ancient Buddha, amitabha. Her brows furrowed. “Who knew that his highness would have such a willingness to kill in his heart! He isn't a demon, but he is no different. Benefactor Yanran, in the future you will become a revered person in buddhism. It is better that you stay far away from him!”

Zhao Yanran burst out laughing, using her hand to cover her lips. Her face was filled with a cruel intent.

It wasn't easy to make Zong Shou feel so comfortable that he would kill so decisively, like a mighty lord. This also made her feel fantastic. Staying far away from Zong Shou, was she joking?

To be her seed furnace, he had to be this vicious!

Just as these people spoke, Zong Shou was seven thousand feet from the Mysterious Cloud Spiritual House at the peak of the mountain. Silently, he looked up. He could clearly hear the sounds of discussion that emanated from Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect and various other cultivators.

“Blood-Kill Twin Flags, it really is the Blood-Kill Twin Flags!”

“As expected, he wants to wipe out everyone in our sect…”

“If this person doesn't die, you and I won't have any chance of living!”

“Damn it!”

“We shouldn't have offended this Monster King. It is all that Han Nishui's fault… he has caused a calamity for our Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect!”

“Bastard! If we don't attack first, will this kid allow our Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect to survive? If we want to cast blame, we can only blame Senior Master Yuankong for attacking too late! He let this Zong Shou grow and become stronger!”

“The only possible plan is to work together against the enemy. We can only fight to the death!”

Zong Shou's lips curled up like he hadn't heard anything, as he continued to climb upwards, step by step.

Numerous spells, numerous spiritual artifacts, and numerous talismans were still descending from above.

At first, five out of each thousand attacks were able to touch his soul. By now, only one or two of each thousand could break through the twisting space.

His soul was utterly unharmed.

The Energy Destroying Crossbows pointed at the mountain started to roar once more. Energy bullets struck the mountain body. They shook the Mountain Protecting Formation, creating gaps in the spiritual restrictions.

Then, a cold voice slithered into Zong Shou's ear, “He actually is twisting space! No wonder that this secret technique is so amazing. No wonder they can't hurt you! But can you avoid this grade-9 sword?”

Suddenly three swords struck down from the air. From left, right, and above, they sped towards Zong Shou. There had been no warning signs.

It happened in the space of a blink. Before he closed his eyes, there had been nothing. After he opened his eyes, the tip of a sword hung in front of his face. The simmering sword energy caused even Zong Shou's soul to tremble.

But Zong Shou smiled. He was still as relaxed as usual.

They had seen through it!

… However, even if they had seen through his Space Twisting Technique, so what?

Even without this technique, Zong Shou could still defeat grade-9 sword experts!

The Broken Tan Sword in his hand shone once more, moving like a swallow flying in the air, light and nimble! It broke the barrier between time and space.

There was a loud clang.

A Taoist-robed middle-aged man, his face filled with disbelief, stood two hundred feet out. At the center of his brows, a bloody sword wound bloomed.

As for the swords menacing his sides, Zong Shou didn't even bother to retaliate. With one step forward, he moved three hundred feet, brushing past the Taoist-robed man.

The man's body instantly exploded into a blood rain that scattered beneath the mountain.

Zong Shou began to move once more.

Then, ten grade-9 soul tigers appeared in front of him.

Their soul bodies were wrapped in lightning, and they were dark purple and winged. They were grade-9 Lightning Winged Tigers. The moment they appeared, they started to merge. Moments later, their combined form swelled several times, and their aura climbed crazily, actually passing the Celestial Path Gate, and toeing the Spirit Realm. It caused the Heaven and Earth to begin to suppress and reject the creature.

This giant soul beast roared furiously as it charged down.

Zong Shou was slightly shocked, but then he decided to ignore it.

The creature was indeed close to Spirit Realm, but it was only close. It was not one whole, but composed of ten soul beasts.

… There were just too many weaknesses!

A sword swung out, sword energy blasting close to a thousand feet. Energy exploded out around Zong Shou.

When that dust had dissipated, the near-Spirit Realm soul beast had been completely crushed. Its soul left no traces.

Looked at Zong Shou's sword, numerous strands of lightning were now wrapped around its blade.

He had first used the Sword Strength Hidden Energy to provoke the conflicts between the merging soul beasts. Then, he had gone from the hidden energy to actual energy, striking at the creature's weakness, and ending it in one blow.

The entire process had been simple.

Zong Shou climbed another three hundred feet. Suddenly, a vast purple lightning bolt gathered in the sky, and slashed down at him.

It directly penetrated that twisting space, and headed straight for his soul.

That purple lightning had appeared so suddenly that even Zong Shou had not been able to sense it.

He began to use his sword intent to block, but then he stopped, allowing the purple lightning to flow around his body.

The Lightning Phoenix Mark in his Soul Ocean activated. Giant lightning wings, two thousand four hundred feet wide, spread out from his back.

He had used the Energy Swallowing Technique to absorb the lightning spells from the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect cultivators. With each ounce he absorbed, the wings on his back grew stronger and bigger.

“Grade-9 spiritual cultivator!”

Looking upwards, he saw another person who was dressed as a Taoist. This man who looked close to sixty, and who gave off a celestial aura, was in shock.

He was shocked that the top secret technique of Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect—Mysterious Cloud Extreme Purple Lightning Technique, couldn't scratch Zong Shou at all.

Zong Shou took one look and retracted his gaze. A silver light rushed from his sleeves, and the purple lightning wings on his back shrunk to a length of one hundred feet. The lightning around the Broken Tan Sword also vanished.

When the cloud-shocking god-destroying sword intent in his body had totally disappeared, he was unable to replicate it. However, at this moment, there was no need to.

A blade flashed light, and instantly it reached thousands of feet out. The force passed through the Mountain Protecting Formation, and changed directions several times. The maniacal lightning sword intent on the body of the blade shone, and the blade sped up once more.

Peng!

A low sound, and that cultivator's body was pierced right through. A vast lightning bolt struck him, and ripped his soul and body into shreds.

Six God Defensive Knife! After the knife left the hand of its wielder, it would never miss!

Zong Shou moved forward once more.

His sword flashed light again.

Instantly, another grade-9 sword cultivator was torn apart!

Dozens of feet out, Leidong took in a deep, cold breath.

“… This is one step one grade-9!”
