Second senior brother's smile was gentle, and there was warmth within it. It was a memory from a long time ago that Su Ming had not seen for a very, very long time.
At that moment, when he saw his second senior brother's gentle smile once again and lifted his head so that sunlight could shine on the side of his face, all of these things made Su Ming cry even more.
The scenes from the ninth summit, the man who was as gentle as a flower in the past, the second senior brother who had smiled at him under the sun while standing among the grass and flowers on the ground, and the face that still had the same smile on even though he was being tortured in the ball of light, all of these scenes overlapped with each other at that instant.
The howling sword aura came charging towards Su Ming with loud booming sounds. In the span of a breath, it charged towards him, and right behind it were nearly ten thousand small blood-red swords that came charging towards him like rain. They stirred up violent gusts of wind that swept through the area, and the sharp sword glares looked as if they wanted to cut through the air. Right at the instant they were about to close in on Su Ming...
Tears fell from Su Ming's eyes. He lifted his head swiftly and glared at the near ten thousand Great Leaf Immortal Sect disciples in the sky. At that moment, there was no longer any power that could stop Su Ming's slaughter. The killing sword in his right hand let out a bloodthirsty and excited sword whistle. At the instant Su Ming lifted it, he swiftly slashed towards the sky.
The world roared under that one slash. The incoming gigantic sword aura instantly shattered into pieces, and even the small blood-red swords behind it were all reduced to dust by Su Ming's one slash.
At the same time, all the snow floating in the world gathered together and charged towards the sword Rune in the sky from all directions.
Su Ming would definitely not spare these Great Leaf Immortal Sect disciples, but the most important thing right then was not to kill them, but to cut all the chains around his second senior brother.
Su Ming moved, and the killing sword in his hand swiftly cut the second chain. A piercing sound of metal crashing against stone reverberated in the air, and Su Ming was sent tumbling backwards by the rebound. When he took a few steps back, the second chain instantly shattered.
Su Ming did not stop. He took a step forward, and the presence of Life Cultivation Realm circulated in his body with a bang. All his power erupted from his body, and with another slash, the third, fourth, and fifth chains were all cut down by Su Ming in his madness.
As the chains shattered one by one, the figure of the second senior brother in the ball of light rapidly condensed from the mist. After the fifth chain shattered, the second senior brother in the ball of light had completely condensed his body. However, his face was still pale and his body gave off a deep sense of weakness. He had been tortured by the formation over the years and was on the verge of death.
The smile remained on his face. Even if he was incredibly weak at that moment, he still maintained that smile as he looked at Su Ming and his youngest junior brother.
He was happy, because he saw Su Ming. He was proud, because he noticed Su Ming's strength, and because Su Ming was his youngest junior brother.
"Little Junior Brother … you've grown up," Second Senior Brother said softly, his voice faintly echoing through the sphere of light.
Su Ming looked at his second senior brother. Memories continuously surfaced in his head. Everything in the past had become precious to Su Ming, and right then, they had turned into the chill that made him want to kill.
However, those chains were definitely not ordinary items. Once he cut down five of them, the rebound Su Ming had to endure was so great that it practically surged into the sky, causing him to open his mouth and cough up a mouthful of blood. However, determination and resolution appeared in his eyes, and he swiftly slashed down on the final chain.
That determined gaze made it seem as if even if there was a mountain of blades, a sea of fire, or a supreme murderous aura before him, he would still move forward without any hesitation. That determined look on his face was a form of protection that came from the depths of his heart.
'In the past, you protected me. Today … I will protect you, second senior brother!'
At the instant he slashed down, the near ten thousand Great Leaf Immortal Sect disciples in the sky looked as if the entire sky was about to be frozen due to the endless snow falling from the sky, but right at the instant it was frozen, a low roar reverberated in the sky.
"Blood Sacrifice!"
The person who roared was someone Su Ming was familiar with. It was Chenxin's father from Dark Mountain, Chen Long, the tribe leader of Dark Mountain Tribe. Perhaps he should be Chen Long now.
As he let out a low growl, the eyes of the close to 10,000 Great Leaf Immortal Sect disciples, who were rapidly being sealed in ice and had their life force draining away, instantly turned bloodshot. There was no longer any consciousness in their eyes. Instead, there was a crack at the center of their brows.
At the instant that crack appeared, a large amount of blood gushed out along with shards of ice. As they did so, the near ten thousand Great Leaf Immortal Sect disciples rapidly withered away, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into skeletons, turning into ice sculptures that fell from midair.
Their deaths were not caused by Su Ming. In truth, at the instant he used his divine ability to freeze them, they had already turned into corpses. What killed them was Great Leaf Immortal Sect's Arts and divine abilities, the sword Rune they had gathered together, and Chen Long was the one who had activated the Blood Sacrifice.
The blood that filled the sky covered the entire sky at that instant. As it tumbled about, it gathered together to form a huge sword of ten thousand feet. That sword swept through the sky and sliced through the air towards Su Ming.
It was difficult to describe the speed at which the sword cut down. It looked as if it was still in the sky, but in truth, it was already less than a hundred feet away from Su Ming. That extreme speed surpassed that of the wind and sliced through the air, bringing with it a terrifying presence that wanted to destroy all the lives that tried to block its path.
Su Ming's sword was cutting down on the sixth chain at that moment. As the blood-red sword behind him whistled through the air, Su Ming's pupils shrank, but he did not hesitate. The sword in his hand swiftly cut down on the sixth chain, and a clear bang reverberated in the air. The chain instantly shattered.
However, a powerful rebound surged into Su Ming's body, causing him to take a few steps back and crash into the blood-red sword with a bang.
At the instant they crashed into each other, a nine-colored light erupted from Su Ming's body. That nine-colored light was formed by the Five Direction Seal, and it surrounded Su Ming, the ball of light, and his second senior brother before crashing into the blood-red sword.
Loud booming sounds that surged into the sky and shook the earth reverberated in the air. As they reverberated in the air, the screen of light formed by Su Ming's Five Direction Seal crumbled layer by layer before gathering together again. Cracks appeared on the ground beneath him, then shattered and spread out. In the blink of an eye, the ground within a circular area of a hundred lis under Su Ming's feet crumbled and sank.
The nine-colored screen of light shattered at that instant, and a huge wave of impact surged into it. Without any hesitation, Su Ming took a step forward and stood outside the ball of light, right before his second senior brother. With his own body, he blocked the blood-red sword aura that surged into him.
At the same time, the moment the blood-red sword cut into the nine-colored screen of light, cracks appeared on the nine-colored screen of light, and in the midst of the booming sounds and the rebound, it instantly shattered, turning into an endless amount of blood-red shards that tumbled backwards.
The booming sounds turned into lingering echoes that gradually faded away. Dust flew into the air and slowly sank down. When the world became clear once again, Su Ming coughed out blood. The ball of light behind him distorted, but his second senior brother was not injured in the slightest.
Since most of the blood-red sword aura had been withstood by Su Ming, not much of it had entered the ball of light. With the protection provided by the ball of light, second senior brother did not even feel a hint of that blood-red sword aura.
However, second senior brother had seen Su Ming using his body to protect his second senior brother clearly. The smile remained on his face, and within that smile was warmth, sentimentality, and the love between brothers!
There was no need for him to thank Su Ming for this, because if second senior brother was in his place, he would have done the same thing without any hesitation to protect his junior brother.
In the sky, as the shards of the blood-red sword tumbled backwards, they suddenly gathered together once again in midair and turned into a long sword. However, this time, it was not ten thousand feet long, but a normal size. At the same time, a low voice reverberated in the area.
"Soul Ejection!"
Blood Sacrifice and Soul Ejection. This was the name of Great Leaf Immortal Sect's Ten Thousand People Sword Rune. Blood Sacrifice was the act of sacrificing all the people in the Rune to turn it into an attack that could destroy the sky and earth, and Soul Ejection was an even stronger attack if the Blood Sacrifice could not kill the enemy.
At the instant Chen Long said those two words, his body shuddered and turned into ashes. A wisp of his soul spread out from his disappearing body. At the same time, the souls of the near ten thousand Great Leaf Immortal Sect members who had been killed by the Rune appeared in the sky. They were filled with confusion and absent-mindedness, and these souls swiftly gathered together to form a black figure.
That figure was thirty feet tall. It had two heads, but only one arm. At that moment, it lifted its arm and seized the blood-red sword. Then, one of its heads turned towards the sky, and the other towards the ground. Both of them let out roars that shook the sky and earth.
"Second senior brother, do you want to personally kill this ferocious spirit formed by the souls of Great Leaf Immortal Sect?" Su Ming wiped off the blood at the corners of his mouth and cast a glance at the roaring two-headed figure in the sky, then looked towards his second senior brother.
"That's good." As second senior brother smiled faintly, Su Ming swung the sword in his hand and cut down on the ball of light. Immediately, the ball of light started trembling violently, distorting, and crumbling. At the instant it crumbled, second senior brother, who had regained his complete body, walked out weakly.
As he walked out, patches of green grass immediately sprouted from the ground that had been turned into ruins under his feet.
When second senior brother arrived beside Su Ming, his face was still pale. That feeling of weakness made Su Ming crouch down and carry his second senior brother on his back.
"Second senior brother, let's fight against this two-headed ferocious spirit!" Su Ming lifted his head and took a step towards the sky with his second senior brother on his back. At the instant he did so, the two-headed ferocious spirit held the blood-red sword in its hands, and both of its heads looked towards Su Ming at the same time. As it roared, it turned into a long arc and charged towards him.
Both sides charged out from the sky and earth like two shooting stars. They did not dodge in midair and crashed into each other with loud bangs.
With just one strike, the victor would be decided!
At that moment, there was a thin layer of clouds indistinctly visible in the sky. Even the tremors in the sky could not chase it away. At most, it could not be seen.
In that layer of clouds was a beautiful girl who was munching on melon seeds. There was a pained expression on her face as she let out a long sigh.
'I've lost … I've really lost this time … This Su Ming has grown so quickly. If I had known this would happen, I would have extorted more from that old coot. '
As the girl regretted her decision, there was a yellow mutt lying beside her, yawning comfortably. Beside the mutt were two people with distressed looks on their faces. One of them was the bald crane, and the other was Qian Chen. They were scratching the mutt's itch. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com and vote for me.
