The Candlelight Sword Formation transformed into a blazing sun that shone with endless sword qi that shot towards He Jiang's Weapon Tripod.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sword qi struck the walls of the tripod wildly with an ear-piercing sound. The light released by the Candlelight Sword Formation was bedazzling and almost drowned He Jiang and his Weapon Tripod!
Boom!
It was yet another deafening sound.
The sword light dimmed and the Candlelight Sword Formation finally dissipated. With a whoosh, the 18 flying swords scattered from midair and fell to the ground.
All the cultivators outside the Five Elements Umbrella focused their attention.
The gigantic Weapon Tripod was still shielding He Jiang's body, emitting a weak glow. Although it was filled with white sword scars, it was not destroyed.
After all, it was a superior-grade spirit weapon that was only a grade lower than supreme-grade spirit weapons.
He Jiang hid behind the Weapon Tripod and was safe. However, his face was pale and his gaze was dull.
Everyone from True Fire Sect heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness."
"How fortunate."
Sima Zhi, Elder Zhang and the others exchanged glances and were relieved. As long as he was alive, it was fine if he suffered a setback.
"He Jiang is a legacy disciple of True Fire Sect after all. He does have some capabilities."
Some of the Perfected Jin Dan nodded silently.
Of everyone present, only Perfected Lord Ming Ze, Gu Xi and a few other Genying Zhenjun did not say anything.
The emperor was expressionless and shook his head.
Right then, a series of blood scars appeared on He Jiang's initially pale face and gradually expanded!
Shing!
He Jiang's clothes were torn apart without warning as well. It was as though he was sliced by countless sword qi and was covered in wounds – it was a ghastly sight!
Suddenly, the commotion in the crowd quietened down.
Under countless horrified gazes, He Jiang's face, neck, arms, legs and every single part of his body spewed out blood, forming a gigantic blood mist!
Within the blood mist, He Jiang collapsed to the ground with a dull gaze – he was no longer breathing.
Although the Weapon Tripod blocked the sharpness of the Candlelight Sword Formation, He Jiang was still sliced by the sword qi released by the sword formation until he was covered in wounds.
Dead!
He Jiang, a legacy disciple of True Fire Sect who could have secured a spot on the Spirit Ranking, died in the Five Elements Umbrella just like that. He did not even have the time to release his escape jade talisman.
Sima Zhi and the others swayed and sat back down weakly, feeling dizzy.
Initially, True Fire Sect was guaranteed a spot on the Elixir, Weapon and Spirit Rankings. However, He Xing was killed by Su Zimo in the capital before the sect competition. Tao Feng attempted the Mo Clan's Spirit Gathering Technique and was severely injured. Now, even He Jiang was dead.
True Fire Sect had suffered a huge setback in the sect competition this time around.
"Look!"
Someone pointed at the light screen of the Five Elements Umbrella and exclaimed.
Within the metal region, Su Zimo charged towards Feng Haoyu at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind a series of afterimages in the air, confusing the eyes of others.
Feng Haoyu sneered.
If they were on the ground, he would truly be wary of Su Zimo.
But now, he possessed Ethereal Wings and could stand in the air like Perfected Jin Dan without the need for any external objects. He could also maneuver around with ease in the air and Su Zimo could not get close to him at all.
Ethereal Wings was a secret skill after all. Even if Su Zimo could use Sword Kinesis Flight, he was much slower than Feng Haoyu in terms of speed and agility!
Buzz!
Waving his sleeves, Feng Haoyu shot out three flying swords – all of them superior-grade flying swords!
The fact that he was able to possess three superior-grade flying swords at Foundation Establishment realm was proof of how highly Blood Crow Palace regarded him.
Ever since he was defeated by Su Zimo at Misty Peak, he had been cultivating wholeheartedly and tried to wield multiple flying swords. Even though he could not conjure a sword formation, the power of his Ethereal Sword was not to be underestimated.
The light on the swords shone brightly before disappearing suddenly.
Level 2 of Ethereal Sword, Nothingness!
Su Zimo did not stop and continued to shorten the distance between him and Feng Haoyu. His eyes shone brightly as he placed his left middle finger and thumb together to form a strange hand seal.
The moment the hand seal was formed, the spirit energy in Su Zimo's dantian churned wildly. Three spirit meridians appeared faintly and spirit energy surged into the hand seal!
Boom!
Suddenly, a gigantic crack appeared in the skies as a golden palm reached out and descended from above, exuding a sacred aura as though it wanted to suppress all evil!
Fiend Suppression Seal!
The spectator area was filled with Perfected Jin Dan and naturally had sharp eyes – all of them could sense the power of that hand seal.
In midair, Feng Haoyu was oblivious to it and hollered, "Good timing! I'll let you witness my methods!"
Controlling the three flying swords in midair to stab towards Su Zimo's charging figure, Feng Haoyu withdrew a white bone staff from his storage bag.
Biting the tip of his tongue gently, Feng Haoyu spat out a mouthful of essence blood onto the bone staff.
The moment the essence blood landed on the bone staff, it disappeared mysteriously, as though it was devoured by the bone staff!
Immediately after, streaks of blood appeared on the bone staff one after another, resembling the tiny blood vessels of a living being. They were crystal clear and exuded an extremely evil aura.
Feng Haoyu waved the bone staff in his hand and mumbled something in an obscure language. His eyes flickered with a faint green light, which was strange and frightening.
"Condense!"
Gripping the bone staff tightly, Feng Haoyu pointed at the descending golden palm and hollered softly.
"Roar!"
A huge blood-colored skull condensed out of thin air. The holes in its eyes emitted a dark red light. It opened its mouth and let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth at the giant golden palm in the air!
Amidst the roar, the blood-colored skull smashed towards the golden palm viciously, as though it wanted to devour it entirely.
When he saw that, the emperor was expressionless but his eyes flashed with a glint.
With a grim expression, Perfected Lord Ming Ze sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness, "Indeed, he's the successor of a forbidden ground."
Gu Xi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the faint smile that originally hung at the corner of her mouth also disappeared.
On the battlefield, although the three flying swords had vanished, three faint ripples appeared in midair, resembling the ripples caused by reeds crossing the surface of water.
Su Zimo lowered his body and was almost sprawled on the ground. Like an anaconda, he slithered forward without slowing down at all.
As though he had expected it, one of the flying swords suddenly changed its trajectory and stuck close to the ground, slashing towards Su Zimo's back!
Poof!
A flash of blood appeared.
Was victory already decided?
Everyone focused their gazes and saw that Su Zimo merely paused for a moment before continuing to charge forward. A wound appeared on his back but it did not injure his vitals.
"Without the help of 18 supreme-grade flying swords, Su Zimo won't be able to conjure a sword formation. He's going to be beaten back to his original state."
"As long as this drags on, Su Zimo's wounds will increase and he'll definitely lose if he bleeds too much."
Many cultivators discussed in hushed tones.
"Hmm?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.
There were some details that even Perfected Being Jin Dan might not be able to see clearly.
However, the Five Elements Umbrella was his Dharmic weapon and he could sense every single change within.
To his shock, the emperor discovered that there was not much blood on Su Zimo's back.
The muscles around the wound squirmed and fused together immediately – there were signs of recovery!
"What a terrifying physique!"
The emperor's heart skipped a beat.
