The late stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm was not enough on the Fire God Island, so Su Yun did not show off. Along the way, he found many people who were also climbing the mountain, but he kept a respectful distance from them.
After walking for an unknown distance, the Zhurong Temple was still far away. Su Yun actually felt a little tired!
"There is indeed something here." With his cultivation at the late stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm and the quality of his body, he would not feel the slightest bit tired after such a short journey. The current situation was a little abnormal.
There must be a reason for this abnormality! Su Yun's vigilance increased by a few degrees.
Su Yun was still moving forward, but he was very careful, almost sticking close to the ground.
"Young man, there is a red stone on the ground. Pick it up, it will be useful …" The voice was ethereal, like an echo in an empty valley. It kept repeating, each voice softer than the last.
The voice came suddenly. Although Su Yun was already mentally prepared, he still could not help but look around. However, other than the voice in his ears, he did not find anything else strange.
It seemed … that the voice came from his mind!
Yixie?
Su Yun shook his head. This guy was still sleeping, and the voice was different. It could not be him!
"Red stone …" Su Yun's eyes focused. "Could it be a Firefly Stone?"
The Firefly Stone was mentioned in the jade scroll that Xu Qian gave him. It was the key to enter the Crimson Emperor Palace. It needed three to activate a teleportation, and only one person could be teleported at a time.
Su Yun scanned with his spiritual sense and slowly walked forward.
There was a strange fluctuation that seemed to be scorching hot, but also calm. Twenty feet in front of him, there was a fist-sized fiery-red stone!
There seemed to be colorless flames dancing around the stone, giving rise to waves of fluctuations.
So this is the Firefly Stone?
Su Yun took a few steps forward and was about to pick it up.
"Whoosh …" An obscure sound broke through the air. If one was unprepared, they would not be able to hear it.
Fortunately, Su Yun had already sensed it.
Su Yun turned around and flicked his fingers. His five fingers bent slightly, and he grabbed the Firefly Stone in his hand.
The flying stones had already turned into ashes. Su Yun's hand that was holding onto the Firefly Stone felt a strong burning sensation. He almost subconsciously prepared to throw it away.
Fortunately, he controlled his conditioned reflex in time and put it into his storage bracelet with a flip of his hand.
"Friend, what's the difference between you and a scoundrel?" Su Yun was never polite to people who ambushed him.
When he turned around, there was a young man 300 feet away. This young man had shifty eyes, and his facial features were crooked.
Su Yun's stomach contracted, and he almost vomited. He simply couldn't understand how a cultivator of this level could look so ugly. Spiritual Overlords were already able to adjust their muscles slightly with their spiritual energy. As for Spiritual Grandmasters, even if they couldn't make any major changes, they wouldn't look as ugly as they did now!
That person also noticed Su Yun's abnormality, and there was a hidden resentment in his eyes. But he held it in.
"Give it to me, and you can leave." His hoarse voice was just like his appearance: it made one uneasy.
"You ambushed me, and I haven't gotten even with you yet." Su Yun could feel the burning sensation coming from him. That had to be the Firefly Stone.
"How dare you talk so arrogantly when you're only at the advanced stage of the Spiritual Overlord stage? Your Firefly Stone isn't the only thing I want now." There was a cruel look in the ugly young man's eyes, and Su Yun couldn't help but frown.
This young man was an early stage Spiritual Grandmaster, but Su Yun sensed even more danger from him than Blood Lion did.
Su Yun tensed up, for he sensed that the young man wasn't going to say anything else!
His figure flashed like a ghost, and disappeared without a trace!
Su Yun looked sideways, but he couldn't track him at all!
That guy was tough!
With the Heaven-Seizing Sword in hand, Su Yun was on full alert.
There were no clouds, but the wind was blowing. Su Yun smiled. In a few breaths, Su Yun made his move.
Turning around, he thrust the Heaven-Seizing Sword out from under his left armpit.
"Ding …" There was a crisp sound, which startled a flock of birds.
A sense of urgency came from his arm, Su Yun could feel that the young man was panicking for a moment, he definitely did not understand how Su Yun could see through his technique.
Of course, Su Yun wouldn't say anything.
With a flick of his wrist, Su Yun leaped into the air with the wind and approached the young man.
There was a crisp sound. The young man was holding a strange sword in his hand. It was strange because the end of the sword wasn't straight, but a hook! Anything hooked by the hook would be cut in half if it wasn't tough enough!
"What a vicious weapon!" One could tell what kind of person the user was by looking at the weapon. Su Yun's impression of this guy was getting worse and worse.
However, he was very strong, even stronger than Blood Lion.
Tyrannical spiritual energy fluctuations came from the Heaven-Seizing Sword, shaking Su Yun's arm until it was numb. There were a few times when the Heaven-Seizing Sword was almost sent flying by his hook!
Su Yun's footsteps moved, and he retreated.
The young man didn't chase after him. He pointed his hook at Su Yun with contempt in his eyes. Although Su Yun could see through his movement technique, he was still weaker.
Therefore, he didn't plan to let Su Yun go! Since the persimmon was soft, why not pinch it?
The young man swung his hook, and his figure disappeared like a ghost again. Su Yun didn't dare to be negligent.
He circulated the Nine Revolution Primordial Chaos Art at full force and urged the Black Clouded Crane to fly. He couldn't just sit and wait for death!
He listened to the wind and used its movement to determine his position.
Since he couldn't meet him head-on, he would use his wits.
His sword intent surged like a tide, covering an area of sixty meters. Su Yun concentrated almost all his spiritual energy on the Heaven-Seizing Sword.
Su Yun could only give himself a chance to strike. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for him to succeed when the young man was on guard!
The young man seemed to have sensed Su Yun's intention as well. However, in his opinion, Su Yun was only at the advanced stage of the Spiritual Leader stage, which meant that he wasn't much of a threat to him. He couldn't help but underestimate him.
Su Yun made the first move! Locking onto the young man's position, he swung the Heaven-Seizing Sword at him like a nimble snake!
The young man didn't dodge. Instead, he summoned his spiritual energy as an early Spiritual Grandmaster and met the attack head-on!
"Boom …" There was a muffled sound as the two men's spiritual energies collided. Their weapons were far apart and spiritual energy was pouring out like crazy.
Su Yun had used all his strength, while the young man had only used seventy to eighty percent of his spiritual energy. That was why they were in a stalemate for a short while.
Even a lion would use all its strength to catch a rabbit. The young man had made an irreparable mistake. Hence, Su Yun had an opportunity to strike!
When the sword intent showed its sharpness, the young man sensed danger.
Ten Direction Isolation!
The sword intent condensed into twelve long swords in the blink of an eye! At this moment, the sword concept surrounding Su Yun finally revealed its ferocious appearance!
The young man's spiritual energy trembled visibly, which was enough to show that he was panicking. However, there was no way for him to dodge this attack.
It was at that moment that Su Yun's spiritual energy took advantage of the situation and immediately gained the upper hand!
Under the combined attack of spiritual energy and Ten Direction Isolation, it was inevitable that he would be seriously injured.
It wasn't wise to get seriously injured before entering the Crimson Lord Hall.
Hence, the young man gritted his teeth and waved his other hand, sending out a wave of heat.
With a shake of the Heaven-Seizing Sword, Su Yun had used up most of his spiritual energy. Grabbing at the air with his left hand, he put the Firefly Stone that the young man had thrown at him into his storage bracelet.
There was anger in the young man's eyes. Although Su Yun had retracted most of his spiritual energy, the threat of the sword intent was still there!
With a pull of his long hook, a wave of spiritual energy shot out. Following that, he stomped his feet heavily and a layer of yellow energy shield suddenly appeared around him. At the same time, he retreated rapidly.
The twelve long swords were extremely fast as they chased after him relentlessly.
"Boom …" There was a loud explosion, but the ugly young man's figure was nowhere to be seen.
He had finally gotten rid of him, but he was surprised to receive a Firefly Stone.
"Something's not right!" Su Yun's nerves tensed up again as he stared at the place where the Ten Direction Isolation had struck. There, the smoke had yet to disperse.
The faint fluctuation of spiritual energy didn't belong to Su Yun.
"He hasn't left yet!" With that thought, Su Yun's figure retreated rapidly. The Heaven-Seizing Sword was in a defensive stance, ready to block any sneak attack at any time.
"Behind!" Alarmed, Su Yun immediately activated the Black Clouded Crane. Like a weightless falling leaf, he stopped within six feet of the attacker and turned around to stab with his sword.
"Ding …" There was the crisp sound of metal hitting metal again!
A figure kept tumbling backward. Su Yun was knocked back by the attack. The spiritual energy transmitted from the Heaven-Seizing Sword made him pause for a moment! Fortunately, Su Yun's spiritual energy was much stronger than that of the average late Spiritual Leader stage cultivator. Otherwise, he would have been sent flying.
The young man had already been injured by the Ten Direction Isolation. If he failed in this counterattack, he would have to pay a heavy price if he wanted to take down Su Yun again. Therefore, he didn't want to continue the fight and retreated far away.
Su Yun stomped heavily on the ground and sank half a foot into it. That was the only way he could make sure that he wouldn't stumble backward.
After standing like that for a long time, Su Yun finally showed a trace of weakness and exhaustion when he was sure that the person was far away.
"An early Spiritual Grandmaster! That's so powerful! "Su Yun murmured. That guy couldn't have been any less capable than Bi Moxiao!
"Haha …" There was the sound of tinkling laughter.
Su Yun wasn't too surprised, for he had already noticed that person. But when he turned around, he couldn't help but be dazed.
It was a woman. She had bright red lips, a face like a hibiscus, and smooth skin with a rosy hue. She had almond-shaped eyes and willowy eyebrows. She had a curvy bottom and a slim waist. Her mature figure was covered by a white dress, and her curves were exquisite. For a moment, Su Yun wasn't sure if she was a girl or a married woman.
She looked at the exhausted Su Yun with a half-smile on her face. Her lips curled into a subtle smile as she brushed her hair with her slender hand. Every movement of hers exuded a languid charm.
"I wonder if there's anything this little girl can help you with?" The beauty smiled, and when her red lips opened and closed, there seemed to be a kind of magic that made people unable to bear to refuse.
"Yes." Su Yun didn't turn around. Instead, he looked away from her and turned around.
The woman frowned a little when she saw Su Yun's reaction. But she was satisfied with Su Yun's answer.
