Dao Slave 21 let out a cold harrumph and took a step forward. He was confident that if he attacked this time, the two of them would definitely die! Almost at the same time he took a step forward, Dao Yuan flew out from behind him with an excited look on his face and charged towards Su Ming.
"Dao Slave, move back! Let me personally take action! Didn't you want to kill me just now? I'm going to enjoy the girl beside you right in front of you! I'm going to let you see it with your own eyes!" As Dao Yuan laughed madly, he closed in on Su Ming. As Su Ming and Yu Xuan retreated, they were already close to the Rune around the ninth summit.
Dao Slave 21 stopped moving and let his young master fly past him to close in on Su Ming and Yu Xuan. Yet right at the instant Dao Yuan lifted his right hand to seize Yu Xuan, a great presence that caused all the people in the area to be shocked and apprehensive suddenly erupted from the ninth summit with a bang.
The strength of that presence caused the world to tremble and an endless amount of vortexes to appear in the seawater. It caused the sky to tremble, and even the hearts of the yellow dragon and the three Dao Slaves who were fighting against him shuddered when they sensed that presence.
"This is your Grandpa Crane's territory. I was just taking a nap, and you dared to offend me?! Get lost!" A voice filled with mighty pressure came with a bang from the ninth summit, and it shook the sky and earth.
At the instant that incredibly powerful presence appeared, not only did it cause the hearts of the three Dao Slaves who were fighting against the yellow dragon to tremble, it also shocked Dao Yuan and Dao Slave 21, who were executing their divine abilities to kill Su Ming.
"This is … This is the presence of Solar Kalpa!" Dao Slave 21's expression changed drastically. He did not have time to think. He grabbed the dumbfounded Dao Yuan and turned into a long arc that charged backwards.
Dao Yuan screamed. As he shuddered, shock and terror appeared on his face.
"The presence of Solar Kalpa! There's no mistaking this! This is a mighty cultivator who has reached Solar Kalpa Realm! He's only one step away from Plane Kalpa Realm! " Dao Slave 21's face turned stark pale and his mind was in a mess. He had not expected that … he would run into such a dangerous situation in the land of Berserkers.
However, at that instant, a hint of doubt appeared in his heart. He immediately lifted his right hand, and a determined look appeared on his face. An item appeared in his hand, and he instantly crushed it.
It was a green medicinal pill. The instant it was crushed, a shocking rumble spread out.
As the rumbles echoed, the world trembled and a ripple spread out. However, the ripple did not contain much destructive power. Instead, it gave off a green light that covered an area of several hundred kilometers.
Dao Slave 21 stared at the cyan light. When he saw that the color of the cyan light hadn't changed in the slightest, a strange and angry expression appeared on his face.
"You're not a great cultivator in Solar Kalpa Realm! Young Master, there are no great cultivators in Solar Kalpa Realm here! That was an Illusory Dao Art!" As Dao Slave 21 roared, he no longer retreated. Instead, he charged towards Su Ming and Yu Xuan once again. By his side, Dao Yuan was momentarily stunned. He knew that the medicinal core just now was Morning Dao Sect's Kalpa Seeking Core. This core could test whether there was the power of Plane Kalpa in a certain area, and it could also determine whether there were people who had reached Plane Kalpa Realm in that area.
If its color had changed, then it meant that there was someone in Plane Kalpa Realm around, but the color of the medicinal core had not changed even after it had spread out several hundreds of lis. This meant … that no matter how the presence had spread out, in truth, there was not a single person in Plane Kalpa Realm in that area.
Once Dao Yuan registered what was going on, he was filled with exasperation. He charged towards Su Ming and Yu Xuan, whose consciousness had faded away. He was so quick that he closed in on them in the blink of an eye.
"How dare you lie to me?! I will kill all of you with my own hands! Dao Slave 21, protect me by the side! Just watch as I crush their bones and scatter their ashes!" As Dao Yuan charged forward, he saw that he was about to close in on Su Ming and Yu Xuan. He lifted his right hand, intending to seize Su Ming, whose consciousness had faded away.
At that moment, enraged roars came from the indistinct Rune, and soon after, figures flew out.
They were … the people who had stayed in the ninth summit over the years. They were willing to die in battle for the ninth summit, to protect it, and to repay the kindness Su Ming had shown them in the past.
At that moment, during that moment of crisis, they rushed out without any hesitation. The person in the lead was an old man. He was in the Berserker Soul Realm, but his level of cultivation was not high. However, at the instant he walked out, he charged towards Dao Yuan without any regard for his own life, trying to stop him from killing Su Ming and Yu Xuan.
"You're just asking for death!" Dao Yuan screamed shrilly. He changed the direction of his right hand and rammed his fist against the old man's incoming body, but at the instant his fist closed in, a bizarre smile appeared on the old man's face, and with a bang, he self-destructed.
As he self-destructed, his cultivation base crumbled, and the ripples of power that erupted from his body rushed towards Dao Yuan. Blood gushed into the air and sprayed all over the area. Some of it landed on Su Ming and Yu Xuan's bodies. Su Ming's consciousness had originally been about to fade away due to his heavy injuries, but once that blood landed on him, thick red capillaries immediately appeared in his eyes.
His consciousness was swiftly returning to his body. His body trembled, and in his ears, the old man's long string of laughter before his death reached him.
"Sir Su Ming, I am indebted to the ninth summit for taking care of me for so many years. Today, I will repay your kindness with my death!"
At the same time the old man died, people charged out from the Rune behind Su Ming. Some of them even grabbed Su Ming and Yu Xuan and pulled them towards the Rune.
One person after another, and the booming sounds of self-destruction rose into the air, affecting Dao Yuan's body. The booming sounds of self-destruction continued, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten people had chosen to self-destruct.
"Sir Su Ming, I will repay your kindness!"
"Sir Su Ming, I will repay your kindness with my death!"
"I will repay your kindness with my death! Sir Su Ming, if there is a next life, we will meet again!"
The long string of laughter before death rose into the air. More people rushed out and chose to self-destruct to hold back Dao Yuan and save Su Ming. All of this caused Su Ming's consciousness to return to his body at that instant. He was clear-headed, but he could no longer bring out even a single bit of his cultivation base. The heavy injuries in his body had already caused him to be at the end of his rope.
His eyes were bloodshot. He could only watch the people dying and listen to the cries of gratitude. As his body trembled, he let out a hoarse roar.
Even more people flew out from beside him. Among them were the elderly and the young. These were the tribe members who lived in the ninth summit, and at that moment, they used their hot-bloodedness and self-destruction to fulfill the promise they had made when they lived in the ninth summit all those years ago.
They swore to protect it with their lives.
Tears fell from Yu Xuan's eyes. She looked at all of this in a daze. She looked at the people dying and listened to their voices as well as Su Ming's hoarse roars. More tears fell from her eyes.
Dao Yuan's body was forcefully held back. He watched Su Ming and Yu Xuan being dragged into the Rune, and in the midst of his rage, Dao Slave 21 took a step forward. He lifted his right hand coldly and swung it forward. Immediately, some of the people who had rushed out of the Rune were torn to shreds before they could self-destruct.
The hundred lis Rune was also trembling violently at that moment. Once Dao Slave 21 closed in and struck with his palm, starlight erupted from it, and the Rune crumbled once again.
As it crumbled and Dao Slave 21 attacked, the one hundred lis Rune became eighty lis, sixty lis, forty lis … Dao Slave 21's expression was cold and aloof. As he continued shattering the Rune, he also killed all the people who flew out of the ninth summit.
Dao Yuan was right behind him, and with a bloodthirsty look on his face, he charged forward excitedly.
Within the Rune, Su Ming and Yu Xuan were being carried by the four people living in the ninth summit. They were charging forward without care for anything else, intending to bring them back to the ninth summit. Tears fell from their eyes. As the booming sounds rang in their ears, they knew that not only would the Rune crumble a little more, their companions would also die.
When there were less than ten lis left of the Rune's crumbling, the four people carrying Su Ming and Yu Xuan roared together and pushed Yu Xuan and Su Ming closer to the ninth summit. They turned around swiftly and chose to self-destruct without any hesitation. As they self-destructed at the same time, they stirred up a wave of rumbling that charged towards Dao Slave 21, who had instantly caught up to them.
However, these four people's self-destruction was nothing to Dao Slave 21. His body shot through the four people's self-destruction, and like a cat toying with mice, he grabbed Su Ming and Yu Xuan's bodies, which were being pushed away, at a moderate pace.
However, at the instant he was about to grab them, more than a hundred people flew out from beside Su Ming and Yu Xuan, who were being pushed back. At the same time, three more people grabbed Su Ming and Yu Xuan and pulled them back hastily.
Su Ming's heart was bleeding. His hoarse roars echoed in the air … but he could not summon even a single bit of his cultivation base. The injuries in his body were too severe, so severe that if he was not in Life Cultivation Realm, he would have immediately died.
Even though his body was continuously recovering, the speed at which he recovered could not compare to the speed at which he was being destroyed. There were rays of starlight in his body at that moment, and they were continuously destroying all signs of his life.
Blood continued flowing out of his body, and it was the same for Yu Xuan. There was a dazed look on her face, and besides tears, there was only despair.
Su Ming could only watch helplessly as the near one hundred people who had blocked his path and stopped Dao Slave 21 from closing in on him were instantly enveloped by the starlight. There were no screams of pain, no booming sounds. There was only a mass of flesh and blood that flew into the air once the starlight disappeared.
All of them died …
Su Ming was not too familiar with these people. He had only saved them when he killed Si Ma Xin in the past and gave them a home in the ninth summit. On this day, they had used their lives to repay Su Ming's kindness.
However, this kindness was not great in Su Ming's eyes, and what they had repaid him was far too great!
Weeping sounds came from the three people behind Su Ming. These three people had Su Ming and Yu Xuan in their arms, and as they charged forward, they were already less than ten thousand feet away from the ninth summit. However, even if they managed to reach that distance, so what? Under Dao Slave 21's leisurely divine ability as he toyed with them, his irresistible power, and Su Ming had already lost his power of cultivation … everything seemed to be unchangeable.
However, it was precisely in this unchangeable situation that Su Ming could see just how important a person's emotions were. They knew that it was useless, but they still wanted to give up their lives for it. This caused tears of blood to fall from Su Ming's eyes.
