Chapter 419 - Faint Connection (2/2)

Gu Ling felt a sharp impact in his chest, the air was knocked out of his chest as his mind rapidly solidified to comprehend what had happened. His body had been sent flying backwards. Before he could gather a complete understanding, Yan Zaizen's figure arrived above his retreating figure and his right leg was lifted into an unnaturally high position. With a sharp sound, Yan Zaizen bicycle kicked Gu Ling, aiming for his skull.

Gu Ling didn't hesitate to brandish his sword defensively as a sword qi ward that seemed to form a half-dome emerged above him in a blink.

Boom!

Gu Ling felt the crushing impact as his head felt dizzy. He shot down from the sky at a rapid speed as he nearly lost consciousness, his sword qi was disorder and his blood tumbled endlessly.

Bang!

He smashed into the ground creating a crater enough to rival a national pool. A muted gasp accompanied by spit and oxygen within his lungs escaped. His face distorted as the pain entered his head.

Gu Ling felt a warm trickle from his head. He noticed faint crimson liquid dripping down from his forehead, his eyes still unfocused and blurry. However, before he could gather his mental faculties, a sharp, piercing down entered his abdomen as he felt his body was punctured. Fear, disbelief, and his life flashed before his eyes.

He could barely comprehend what had happened, turning to look at his chest to see a fist penetrating his torso, entering his heart.

Spurt!

A gush of blood escaped his lips. He wanted to speak, say a thousand words and ten thousand questions, but not a single whimper was uttered. His lifeforce was shattered and his body felt numb yet cold. He was experiencing death. A blanket of black slowly engulfed his vision and his consciousness faded forever.

Yan Zaizen retracted his fist from Gu Ling's torso, causing a sickening sound of crushed bones and splashing blood. His expression was indifferent. Even though Gu Ling was empowered by those Qi Unification experts in a formation, at most his strength would be nearing the top of the initial-Origin Core Realm. After all, they were Qi Unification experts and their support was limited.

His amber-gold eyes looked upwards to find the Qi Unification experts of the Soaring Sword Sect gawk and tremble. They felt their connection to Gu Ling shatter and their minds knew the worst had occurred. Without hesitation, they split into many different directions in an attempt to delay for time.

Yan Zaizen shook his head. He grabbed Gu Ling's body and inspected his spatial ring. While he couldn't access his ring because of his lack of soul energy and stable soup cultivation, this wasn't true for normal spatial rings. With a matter of moments, he found what he was looking for.

A soul jade!

It was black and seemed to shine with a faint sanguine light. This was the detailed information about the Yan Clan's infamous reign of terror that led to their universal hate and condemnation. Holding this soul jade, his emotions were quite complex.

Taking a short breath to regain his composure, he shot upwards slowly to arrive on the Skyship. A unified retreat occurred from the members onboard. They had heard Yan Zaizen's proclamation of his status and origins and felt terrified. After he beheaded one, he killed another without hesitation.

Old Man Bo swallowed a wad of saliva. He was similarly scared but when he looked at the visage of the youth he knew, he felt a sense of calm in his heart.

Yan Zaizen smiled as he walked forward to arrive before Old Man Bo. He turned to see Long Wulin whose gaze was solemn and dark. This young boy definitely had a faint connection with him, but he didn't know the exact details. Unfortunately, it was best he left.

While he could face a True Essence Realm expert with all his trump cards, it was best he didn't damage his foundation and exhaust himself without it being worth it. Entering a conflict wasn't something he feared, but wasting time was.

”Let's go,” he shifted his gaze away as he used his vital energies to engulf Old Man Bo. With a thought, they lifted into the sky and departed. While they weren't fast, their direction and speed was indiscernible. The mystifying means was just a slight exertion of his soul aura to bewilder the senses.

Long Wulin's gaze went dim as he watched Yan Zaizen's departure. His mind was filled with complex thoughts. Firstly, why did Yan Zaizen look at him at the last moment? And lastly, why did he feel a faint connection to him? He felt this wouldn't be the last time they met.

Before these thoughts could lead to anywhere, the True Essence Realm and Origin Core Realm elites of the Soaring Cloud Sect arrived yet found not a trace of Yan Zaizen nor where he went.
