The difference was way too great.
Initially, Bai Yu's only advantage was his saber technique.
But now that Su Zimo had comprehended Countercurrent, Bai Yu's advantage was gone.
Furthermore, Su Zimo had attained lesser mastery of the Orifice Clearing section and his strength had increased tremendously – he was already suppressing Bai Yu.
A single slash was enough to severely injure Bai Yu!
Su Zimo's gaze was cold as he flashed and chased after Bai Yu with his saber!
Bai Yu's face was frightfully pale and he looked at Su Zimo who was speeding over with a resolute look in his eyes. Biting his tongue gently, he spat out a stream of essence blood.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Bai Yu's chest heaved and his heart thumped furiously.
Every time it beat, fresh blood would burst out and flow through his limbs and bones.
On the surface of the blood, there was a layer of strange flames that emitted an endless amount of power!
"Blood Escape?"
Su Zimo narrowed his eyes.
He knew best about the secret skill that Bai Yu released.
In the ancient coffin deep underground, Su Zimo obtained a Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra that recorded the secret skill.
Back in the battle of Dongling Valley, Su Zimo had relied on Blood Escape to escape alive. By chance, he arrived at the capital of Great Zhou and managed to avert danger.
Once Blood Escape was released, a third of his bloodline would be burned in exchange for a burst of speed for a short period of time, allowing him to escape far away!
Pshew!
Bai Yu turned into a streak of blood light and sped into the distance. In the blink of an eye, he was a thousand feet away!
It was too fast!
Back then, Su Zimo even managed to shake off Perfected Jin Dan's pursuit with the speed obtained from Blood Escape!
Now that he wanted to catch up to Bai Yu, Su Zimo had two solutions.
First, he could take on his demon form and release his blood qi!
Second, he could release Blood Escape and give chase as well.
On second thought, neither of those solutions were appropriate.
The first solution would cause too much trouble for Su Zimo in front of thousands of cultivators.
The second was that the gains did not make up for the losses.
Su Zimo hesitated for a moment before giving up on the idea of chasing after Bai Yu. He kept Blood Quencher and took out a moon-white bow from his storage bag.
Just because Su Zimo didn't chase after White Feather didn't mean that he would let him go.
Draw the bow and nock the arrow!
Five spirit tattoos shone, and Su Zimo seemed to be hugging a full moon in his arms.
Whoosh!
The sharp arrow pierced through the air.
Heart Piercing Arrow!
With Su Zimo's arm strength and the quasi-Inborn Spiritual weapon, the Moon Concealment Bow, the arrow was as fast as lightning as it pierced towards Bai Yu's back.
Bai Yu, who was in the midst of Blood Escape, seemed to have sensed something and crushed a protective talisman.
Boom!
The arrow collided with the protective talisman and exploded with a loud bang.
Bai Yu trembled and coughed up blood again. He staggered and almost fell.
Su Zimo threw his head back and laughed heartily. He raised his voice and said, "Good, you're lucky to be able to dodge this arrow. I'll spare your life today. Also, it's all thanks to your help that I was able to comprehend the force of Countercurrent this time round. "
Just Now, if not for Bai Yu's ferocious attacks that forced Su Zimo into a corner, he might not have been able to comprehend the force of Countercurrent from a hopeless situation.
Bai Yu paused for a moment and turned to glare at Su Zimo with a venomous gaze.
Sensing Bai Yu's gaze, Su Zimo smiled gently. "You had better hide in the ancient battlefield from now on and don't let me see you again. Otherwise, you won't even have the chance to release Blood Escape the next time!"
Bai Yu grit his teeth and howled in hatred. He turned and sprinted, turning into a blood spot and vanishing before everyone's eyes.
In reality, even if Su Zimo didn't chase after Bai Yu, he would most likely be doomed.
Blood Escape had side effects, and they were quite terrifying.
Be it humans or demons, they would become extremely weak after burning a third of their bloodline.
Danger was everywhere in the ancient battlefield.
Unless Bai Yu could find an absolutely safe place before the power of Blood Escape ended, he would definitely die!
Su Zimo retracted his Moon Concealment Bow and left in front of countless shocked gazes.
Su Zimo had gained a lot from this trip.
All that was left was for him to continue cultivating and familiarize himself with the saber techniques of Sea Calming so that he could comprehend the force of the other four stances.
Every single saber technique corresponded to a different force.
The intents were different as well.
Taking a deep breath of air, Su Zimo checked the map and sped towards Xuantian City.
"I've only left the city for slightly more than ten days. Hopefully, nothing will happen in the city."
That was Su Zimo's thought.
…
North City, Xuantian City.
Elixir Yang Sect, Rear Hall.
It was noisy and the occasional berating of cultivators sounded from time to time, as though they were extremely angry. Occasionally, the roars of spirit beasts could be heard, causing one's heart to shudder!
In a corner of the Rear Hall, a woman leaned against the wall. She had a frail figure and her face was pale. Her lips were purple and her eyes were tightly shut – no one knew if she was dead or alive.
By the looks of it, it was none other than Su Xiaoning!
In front of Xiaoning stood a tall and muscular demon beast covered in pitch-black scales. It resembled a wolf or tiger with sharp claws and fangs. Its pitch-black eyes were wide open and it surveyed its surroundings with hostility!
That pitch-black demon beast was none other than Night Spirit.
Night Spirit stood in front of Xiaoning and his tail swayed gently. There was even a trace of blood on his tailbone that shone coldly!
Not far in front of Night Spirit, a corpse lay on the ground with the sect badge of Elixir Yang Sect hanging on his waist. There was a bloody hole in his glabella with warm blood flowing out.
It was clear that this person was killed by Night Spirit and had just died not long ago.
Yan Jun and the other Elixir Yang Sect disciples stood opposite Night Spirit and faced him with anger and agitation.
"Beast, you truly don't know what's good for you. You're just like your master!" Yan Jun said coldly.
A cultivator shouted, "Beast, you'll have to pay with your life for killing an Elixir Yang Sect disciple!"
The other cultivators pointed at Night Spirit and cursed as well. Although all of them wielded a flying sword in their hands, none of them dared to attack recklessly.
Everyone had witnessed the fall of the Elixir Yang Sect's cultivator.
In front of Night Spirit, that person died on the spot before he could even summon his flying sword!
Sensing the hostility of the cultivators, Night Spirit's gaze turned cold. Opening his mouth slightly, a deep roar sounded from the depths of his throat that sent chills down everyone's spines!
Given Night Spirit's savage nature, he would have started a massacre by now instead of allowing these cultivators to berate and humiliate him.
There were a few times when Night Spirit lowered his body and looked like he was about to pounce. However, he held himself back!
From time to time, he would turn back to look at Su Xiaoning, as though he was worried about her safety and there was a hint of worry and guilt in his eyes.
Night Spirit hovered in front of Xiaoning.
From that angle, he could block all incoming threats!
Right then, an Elixir Yang Sect disciple from the crowd came to Yan Jun's side and said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother Yan, let's not bother about Su Zimo anymore. Why don't we attack together to kill that demon? No matter how strong that beast is, how can he defend against so many of us? "
"That's right!"
Another cultivator nodded. "Junior Brother Pu can't die just like that! Let's work together to kill that beast and take revenge for Junior Brother Pu! "
Yan Jun's expression darkened as he pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he raised his palm and said coldly, "Everyone, get ready …"
