542 Is It Like This? (1/2)

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.
