When she saw the corpse that was still warm, the girl in pink's expression was unchanged but a strange glint flashed through her eyes.
The four Southern Mountains Sect cultivators gripped their weapons tightly with nervous expressions.
As body tempered cultivators, it was only natural for them to be equipped with melee weapons such as Su Zimo's Cold Moon Saber and Little Fatty's gigantic axe.
Of the four Southern Mountains Sect cultivators, three of them wielded swords while the last one wielded a hook with both hands.
The itinerant cultivator, Yan Fei, was bare-handed. However, his sleeves were wide, as though there was a universe within.
Su Zimo swept his gaze and could vaguely guess that Yan Fei's weapon should be a pair of arm guards.
The advantage of such weapons was that they were concealed and short, capable of both offense and defense. They were equivalent to one's own arms and were invulnerable and indestructible.
It was clear that the depths of the underground were not a friendly place. The reason why the five of them dared to follow was because they were bewitched by the girl in pink and lost their minds. At the same time, they were truly capable.
After all, there was an ancient spirit lock formation here. Even if a perfected Foundation Establishment Cultivator with eight meridians unlocked arrived here, they would only be able to die here if they were weak in melee combat due to their weak physique!
When they arrived at the fork, the five of them protected the girl in pink in the middle. They surveyed their surroundings and continued forward after confirming that there was no danger.
Su Zimo followed behind them at a distance that was neither too far nor too close. When he arrived beside the corpse at the fork, he stopped and glanced sideways.
The person's eyes were widened and filled with confusion, as though he did not understand what had happened even in death.
The sword wound on his glabella was thin and thin – it was clear that the person who attacked was extremely fast and killed him with a single slash before he could even react!
Su Zimo continued following the girl in pink and the others. Before long, he caught sight of two more corpses lying on the ground in the same manner as before.
There were no storage bags on the two corpses as well.
Wu Xiangming and the others swept their gazes and wanted to protect the girl in pink as they walked past the two corpses.
All of a sudden!
Su Zimo felt his heart skip a beat and his scalp prickled!
The feeling came so suddenly that there was no warning at all.
Su Zimo didn't sense any danger, but he subconsciously shouted, "Stop!"
When she heard Su Zimo's voice, the girl in pink seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and channeled Dharmic powers in her legs to retreat backwards.
Wu Xiangming and the rest were stunned.
At this moment, the pupils of one of the corpses lying on the side moved strangely. It stood up and pulled out a long and narrow sword from nowhere. Then, it quickly stabbed forward twice!
Puff! Puff!
Sword light flashed, accompanied by two crisp sounds.
Su Zimo was shocked.
The undead's attack speed was too fast!
If he had been in the same position, he would not have been able to dodge the two swords without his spiritual perception warning him.
The two Southern Mountains Sect cultivators had their backs facing Su Zimo. Although he could not see their expressions, he could clearly sense their bodies stiffening. Next, they fell straight down, no longer breathing.
After killing two people in a row, the undead did not stop at all. With a light tap of its feet, it sped forward rapidly like a phantom, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
At the same time, two black streaks of light tore through the air, letting out buzzing sounds as they chased after the black figure in the distance and disappeared.
Not far away, Su Zimo wielded his Sanguine Crystal Bow and shot out two arrows right away.
However, it was a pity that the undead had left first. Furthermore, it had a ghostly movement technique and those two arrows might not be able to hurt it.
Clang! Clang!
Not long after, two crisp sounds came from the darkness in front of them.
True enough.
The two arrows missed – that was the sound of the arrows piercing the stone walls.
The girl in pink stood beside Su Zimo with a bright glint in her eyes.
Of the few people present, she was the only one who knew the identity of the undead Just Now.
The undead did not seem to have any flaws and looked exactly the same as the corpses they had encountered previously. There was also a wound on its glabella that was bleeding and there was no life in it at all.
The girl in pink had not expected that the handsome man would be the first to warn her and see through the disguise of the undead!
The undead that left was the most cold-blooded killer in the fiend sects – a true assassin!
In the fiend sects, no one had seen the true appearance of the undead.
He could be a corpse, a white-haired old man or an innocent child. In fact, he could even … transform into a woman!
Or rather, no one knew if he was a man or a woman.
Those in the fiend sects called him the thousand-faced assassin.
The girl in pink only knew that he was the current generation's fiend heir of Hidden Death Sect. His talent was comparable to an ancient fiend hegemon and he was hailed as the strongest fiend heir of Hidden Death Sect!
The girl in pink was from Pure Maiden Sect and the thousand-faced assassin was from Hidden Death Sect. Both of them were part of the seven fiend sects.
The moment Su Zimo gave the warning, the girl in pink thought of this terrifying character and retreated immediately!
What surprised the girl in pink was that the thousand-faced assassin actually retreated after killing the two of them.
This meant that there was someone among the crowd that made the thousand-faced assassin feel threatened. That was the reason why he did not continue taking the risk.
Against the same cultivation realm, the thousand-faced assassin had killed countless monster incarnates without missing a single one. His accomplishments were so terrifying that it left countless people of the fiend sects speechless!
On the one hand, it was because of his cold methods. On the other hand, it was also proof of his caution.
Just who was it that could make the strongest Devil Son of the Hidden Death Sect feel fear?
The girl in pink swept her gaze past Wu Xiangming and the other two before landing on Su Zimo.
Although the entire process from the moment the thousand-faced assassin attacked to his escape seemed to take a long time to describe, it actually happened in the blink of an eye – Wu Xiangming and the other two did not manage to react at all.
Of everyone present, Su Zimo was the calmest. Not only did he notice that something was amiss, he even had the strength to retaliate!
It was clear who the thousand-faced assassin was wary of.
For the first time, the girl in pink realized that Su Zimo was not as weak as she had imagined him to be.
This was especially the case when he released the arrow earlier on. An extremely sharp glint that could destroy everything burst forth from the body of this handsome man!
After all, not everyone would dare to attack the Demon Son of the Hidden Death Sect.
The girl in pink's eyes shimmered as she thought to herself, 'I wonder if he'll still dare to attack as decisively as he did right now when he finds out about the thousand-faced assassin's identity.'
"You know that person earlier on?"
Su Zimo stared into the girl in pink's eyes and asked with a frown.
Blinking, the girl in pink replied, "No, I don't."
Su Zimo retracted his gaze.
He knew that if the girl in pink did not wish to speak, he would not be able to get a true answer no matter how he asked.
Not far away, only two of the four Southern Mountains Sect cultivators were left.
Although the two of them had sorrowful expressions, the first thing they did was retrieve the storage bags from the waists of the two corpses and keep them in their own storage bags.
"So, this is the so-called righteous path!"
When she saw that, the girl in pink smirked coldly beneath her veil.
