Chapter 542: Is It Like This?

Absurd!

Why was he able to feel the strength of a country so far from Gantian Mountain? How was he able to link with it?

In his heart he felt that it was unbelievable, but he didn't think much about it as he stepped into the Mysterious Cloud Sect's spiritual house.

At this moment, all the cultivators in the spiritual house showed signs of despair.

The Mountain Protecting Restriction had been forcefully blown open. This meant that their last barrier was totally lost.

Pinnacle Lightning Sky Formation.

The four thousand two hundred Blood Cloud Cavalry rose into the air. He faced no obstructions whatsoever in his path to the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect.

There were three people standing in front of Zong Shou: Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect's Yuankong, Lingyun Sect's Ling Weizi, as well as Daoming Sect's Wuye. They were all looking over with ashen white faces.

“This is your Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect's Pinnacle Lightning Sky Formation? If it is completed, then everything within a thousand miles will be wiped out. Not bad! During ancient times it destroyed millions of troops of the outer regions, and was famed for its strength.”

Placing his hands by his side, Zong Shou looked on expressionlessly. “Unfortunately you are two hours away, and so this is only an incomplete formation.”

Yuankong didn't reply, nor did he ask about how Zong Shou knew the secrets of this formation. Receiving praise like that, he felt his heart turn ice cold. To die together with the enemy wasn't a matter deserving of praise.

However, he still felt like he needed to say something. “Is Your Highness willing to let us go if our Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect changes sides and works for Gantian Mountain?”

The moment he said those words, the despairing Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect cultivators perked up, and their eyes started to brighten with hope.

The expressions of Wuyue and Ling Weizi both changed slightly before they calmed down.

Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect was already on the verge of destruction. To ask to surrender at this point wasn't something they could blame them for.

Zong Shou scoffed, “The Blood-Kill Twin Flags are out. Yuankong, do you think that what you suggest is possible?”

If they thought that they had the right to beg for mercy now, then what did they think they were doing earlier?

Why did they capture Xuanyuan Yiren and send her up the Mysterious Cloud Mountain? Why did they plot so much to crush Gantian Mountain?

Today, this Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect might have a chance of surviving. But with events at such a stage, even if he agreed to Yuankong's proposal, his subjects as well as his father-in-law would definitely not let them go.

Moreover, his heart was brimming with killing intent that couldn't be suppressed!

Yuankong stopped breathing when he heard that, and then he gave an ice cold laugh. Even if it was him, it was totally impossible!

If one went too far, this would be the outcome!

In the distance, Fuling Sect Liehe laughed out loud. “Yuankong, do you remember that my Fuling Sect said the same thing that year. As long as you left one god rank, we were willing to be your Lingyun and Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect's subordinate. Who knew that twenty years later I would be able to witness the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect be brought this low. How amusing, how pitiful! This Pinnacle Space Dome Formation becoming the downfall of your sect, karma is really great! I, Liehe, have no regrets in this life!”

Yuankong's eyes were filled with despair as he looked at the sky, wondering why the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect's ancestor still hadn't arrived even at this desperate moment. Did some things occur in the outer regions? Even the heavens had given up on the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect.

Was it really like what Liehe said, that this was karma?

If not for this barrier, even with the four thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry, a few of their Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect members would definitely be able to escape, and sow some seeds for the survival of the sect.

Zong Shou took a look at the others, his thoughts made up as he continued forwards towards the Pinnacle Lightning Sky Formation.

A tragic roar rang in his ears. It was another grade-9 cultivator who had actually summoned a grade-9 soul beast into his own body. His body swelled up, surrounded by a lightning glow as he struck out.

Zong Shou's gaze became unfocused. Taking a look at him, this was the Beast Merger Technique—merging with a soul beast's spiritual body to temporarily obtain strength exceeding grade-9. The higher the grade of the soul beast bloodline, the stronger the result.

This person had merged with a god beast subspecies. His strength had instantly risen to a level similar to the merged form of the lighting winged tigers. He punched out and wind surged around his blow.

Another black blade formed in Zong Shou's hand. He waved, his body flashing slightly, and he was ten steps away.

That true image cultivator was separated from the soul beast. There weren't any other injuries on him aside from a thread of blood at the center of his brows.

The sword had gone through his brain and destroyed his soul with the World Shocking Spiral True Energy.

At this moment, in Zong Shou's eyes, he was a martial cultivator, filled with crazy intent and striking out.

Although the sword didn't reach him, his body was covered in blood. He was burning his own essence energy and internal energy. Not only did his strength explosively increase, that intense lightning sword intent also rose to the maximum level.

Millions of lightning strands gathered on his sword.

Zong Shou didn't even look at it. He didn't have time to form another sword. Zong Shou decided to point out with his finger, and he crushed that sharp sword energy. Then his fingers pinched that sword and held it in place.

Using lightning to mix with the sky burning flame, it was the Lightning Blaze Thousand Flash. In a breath it caused this person's body to be razed into dust.

Zong Shou's fingers shot out several times, several sword energies striking out as he took another step.

It was still one step one grade-9!

Although he himself was best at the sword, this soul body was still based on the dharma soul of a spirit master.

Eighteen spiritual talismans along with the Black and White Hole Dharma, naturally he surpassed many spirit masters!

He continued to move forwards, until he reached the front of the Pinnacle Lightning Sky Formation. He suddenly felt a vicious and venomous gaze on him.

Zong Shou's brows rose as he looked over, only to see that it was Han Nishui. He seemed to be filled with hatred, despair, and pain, all feelings intersecting with one another. His eyes were protruding and filled with red veins. The muscles of his body were twisting.

If Zong Shou were someone whose heart wasn't firm, he would definitely have been terrified. Although his energy was in a human shape, this Han Nishui actually couldn't be considered a human anymore.

Zong Shou didn't take him to heart, slashing out with his sword, spiritual energy twisting about. It caused this incomplete Pinnacle Lightning Sky Formation to start to shake.

The spiritual energy within crashed about, the spiritual patterns shaking. The lightning ball in the middle was twisting. A portion of it broke apart and flew in all directions. Some Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect disciples took the brunt of the hit. Many bodies broke apart and were burst into pieces by this vast release of energy.

Han Nishui didn't die, but with blood seeping out from all his orfices, charged over, screaming, “I'm going all out against you!”

A claw slashed down, causing the vast lightning ball to fall towards Zong Shou.

In midair, a black sword flashed, and Han Nishui's body was split into two.

As for the lightning ball behind this person, it was absorbed by Zong Shou's sword.

It caused the pair of purple lightning wings behind him to spread out to ten thousand feet!

With a slight fan, Zong Shou flew a thousand feet up. The heavy sword intent exerted pressure over a thousand miles!

To go all out against him, one needed to have enough skill. At this moment, the sword in his hand was invincible in this world.

Looking downwards, suddenly his eyes were filled with joy. A petite person stepped out from one of the side halls.

A silver spiritual shield circled around her as she lightly walked over. She wore the uniform of the Pill Fountain Sect, and at this moment no one bothered to stop her.

It was that righteous and kind girl. She had grown a little bigger. Two years without meeting, but they didn't feel like they had grown apart at all. They had always had each other on their minds.

The moment he saw this girl, his heart actually jumped.

Zong Shou sighed, thinking about it, he withdrew the alluring lightning wings and landed.

Xuanyuan Yiren was startled as she looked over at the heroic-looking man. Coincidentally, she walked past where Han Nishui had fallen onto the ground. Although his body had been cut into two by Zong Shou, he still wasn't dead.

Her brows frowning slightly as she sighed, she swept over with her sword, and chopped off Han Nishui's head in one blow.

Who knew whether or not she just couldn't bear to see this Han Nishui tortured by pain, or if she had just wanted the chance to vent the hatred in her heart.

She felt lost. Changing her name from Yiren to Renyi, she had always used these two words as the values she abided by.

At this moment, she realized that she actually couldn't do it. As long as it was related to that person, her heart instantly went off track.

Only when she was in front of Zong Shou did she come back to her senses. Her entire being felt much lighter.

“You are here?”

Just one sentence, like a normal exchange, but her watery eyes were creased in a bright smile.

“Oh! Yes, I am here!”

Zong Shou nodded slightly and suddenly recalled something. He patted his own head. Luckily, at this moment, Zong Yuan had led the four thousand Blood Cloud Cavalry charging onto the Mysterious Cloud Mountain, amongst which also had his body.

Zong Shou pointed, and a golden light flew out from his Heaven and Earth Bag and fell onto his soul body.

It was a purple-gold coloured armour. It wasn't a spiritual artifact, but it was really beautiful. It made Zong Shou look more heroic and extraordinary. He also held a golden sword which was really bright and noble.

He reached out with his hand, and he forcefully tore off a ball of Five-Coloured Auspicious Cloud.

Xuanyuan Yiren was startled, her eyes filled with confusion.

“Zong Shou, what are you doing?”

Zong Shou smiled, his eyes squinting into a line. “A while ago I went to Xuan Mountain City and asked for your hand in marriage. Now when I return, I will directly take you to Gantian Mountain to complete the marriage.”

Xuanyuan Yiren was stunned as Zong Shou continued to explain, his smile becoming a little crooked, “Your mother-in-law said that since young you loved to dream that someone would wear a purple-gold war armour, and stepping on a Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud to marry you…”

As he said this, he danced with the sword in his hand. “Is it like this?”

Xuanyuan Yiren's face instantly turned red. Then, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
