Chapter Two Hundred and Seventy Three – The Critical Sword Point (2/2)
More than ten threads of fire snaked their way around Zuo Mo’s body.
But immediately after, Zuo Mo felt an unexpected change happen.
These fire snakes seemed to have smelt blood, all of them flooding towards the sword tip of the flying sword. The sword tip was like a powerful whirlpool, continuously consuming flames. In the blink of an eye, all the fire around Zuo Mo was absorbed into the sword tip.
At this time, the sword tip was burning bright with a blinding red light!
In the eyes of everyone in the valley, there was a burning red light with astounding speed drawing out a bold straight line across their vision!
All of the sword essence, all of the Void Fire was compressed in the needle-sized area of the sword tip. Everyone was shaking in fright!
“Motherf***er! Run!”
It wasn’t clear who first said it, but the group suddenly woke up. Instantly, wails rose. They hated that their parents hadn’t birthed them with another pair of legs. Stumbling and crawling, they sprinted towards the sides of the valley. In the blink of an eye, the entrance that had been blocked was cleared.
Liu Gui and the others all changed expressions!
When Shixiong reminded them not to provoke the person, they had not been concerned. Even when they were wary of Zuo Mo’s Yang Fiendish Hard Lightning bolt, but that was just wariness.
Until this sword appeared, this sword that compressed all the sword essence and explosiveness to the extreme!
They truly felt respect and terror!
None of the seven people dared to go stop this blow. They stood at their spot like wooden puppets, their faces raised, their mouths open as they looked dazedly at the blinding light!
This … … what weirdo was this!?
Their perception was better than average. The dot of red light that was compressed to the limits made them instinctively feel a suffocating sense of danger.
The ling power and air turbulence that had been created by the fights inside the valley were now like wild horses that had been broken and simultaneously calmed down. The shaking ground seemed to also have detected the danger and became silent.
Other than the panicking people that were feeling, everything else in the mountain valley seemed to freeze at this moment.
They seemed to be waiting for the conqueror to arrive!

Light flashed in Huang Zhuo Guang and Zheng Zhong’s eyes. In the sky near them, a blinding red light was at the front of a diving figure.
That dot of red light made both of them change expression.
A strange light flashed across Huang Zhuo Guang’s face. He noticed the nervousness on Zheng Zhong’s face. His mind moved, and purposefully said, “Hm, this person isn’t weak. Is he fighting against your shidi?”
Huang Zhuo Guang’s words were exactly what Zheng Zhong was worried about. However, he trusted that his shidi would not be so impulsive and shot back, “No matter. If he gets the secret realm, it’s better than you getting the secret realm.”
“You have animosity towards me?” Huang Zhuo Guang narrowed his eyes again.
“Animosity?” Zheng Zhong laughed coldly, “Is there anyone still alive in Little Mountain Jie that doesn’t have animosity against you?”
“That’s true,” Huang Zhuo Guang nodded. “The world is like this. If you are angry, be angry that your luck isn’t good.”

Zuo Mo, who had made such a ruckus and stopped the crowds, didn’t have any smugness on his face. Wrapped in the turbulence, his face was as pale as paper, his eyes terrified, his heart at his throat.
These was only one thought left in his mind. He really had played a terrible hand!
Serene Water Sword was a water element flying sword. He was used to the [Li Water Sword Scripture] and had picked this water element flying sword. Serene Water Sword was a good flying sword, it’s entire body made from serene water, and pure in water element power.
But damn it!
The pure water element power became the most crucial threat!
There was no problem in compressing the Li water sword essence, but Zuo Mo had not expected that the compressed sword essence would create a strong suction and absorb the Void Fire, thereby also compressing it at the sword tip.
Now, the problem was huge!
Void Fire was an extremely volatile flame, and a flame that Zuo Mo was extremely unfamiliar with. Water and fire could not merge in the first place. As the Void Fire entered the Serene Water Sword, the only outcome he could think of was an explosion.
Even more, the Void Fire inside the Serene Water Sword had been compressed to its limits. Motherf***er. Even if this thing wasn’t inside the Serene Water Sword, even if it was just a drop of water, there was only one outcome.
Boom, a loud sound, and no bones would be left remaining in a radius of thirty zhang.
Right now, there was something else that was also dangerous –– the sword essence that had been highly compressed! The addition of the sword essence had kept the three factors in an exquisite equilibrium, but it was very unstable. In other words, if Zuo Mo let go, the flying sword would instantly explode.
Adding on the sword essence that was compressed … …
If this exploded, then an area fifty zhang in radius, oh no, eighty zhang in radius, not a hair would remain!
Looking at the ground that was coming increasingly close to him, Zuo Mo’s face paled, his hand trembling, crying without tears.
Save me … …
Translator Ramblings: This chapter is like being on the uphill part of a rollercoaster and right before the great downhill part, the ride gets stuck.
Clear Sky Sect is doing something terrible and its head disciple is not anything good.
About Zuo Mo’s age … … I guess it takes a bit of speculation and some of Occam’s Razor. First, he was lianqi fourth level when he was picked up with amnesia by the sect leader. That’s actually pretty normal for a young person if they are not geniuses. It is also simpler to think that he is normal rather than he was very powerful before and was weakened. Second is that we are going by Fang Xiang’s (slightly sexist) logic that males do not try to eat any pills to maintain their youthful appearance. It might be a bit of a leap but it is plausible that Zuo Mo’s age has not been disguised or changed. If changing features makes a zombie face, changing one’s age through skeleton will really make Zuo Mo a complete zombie.
