Chapter 2556 Slaying Soul Collection!
Meng Yao said indifferently, "Yun Zhu, it"s time to discipline this younger brother of yours. Understand that trouble comes from the mouth!"
"Threatening Perfected Immortals?"
Perfected Immortal Wu Feng harrumphed coldly. "If not for the fact that he"s a prince of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom, we would have had enough reason to kill him with his words earlier on!"
Yun Ting looked at Perfected Immortal Wu Feng and the others and grinned. "You guys are afraid, right? Once I advance to the Perfected Immortal realm, you can start was.h.i.+ng your necks clean!"
The Perfected Immortals felt their hearts turn cold.
To be fair, given Yun Ting"s talent and potential, he would definitely become a Perfected Immortal in the future!
Once Yun Ting became a Perfected Immortal and came knocking, not many of them would be able to defend against him.
Sword Immortal Yue Hua frowned. "Don"t get entangled with a junior. Search Su Zimo"s soul first and see what his background is."
Old Man Soul Collector gave a strange laugh and leaped, swooping down towards Su Zimo.
Swoos.h.!.+
A figure flashed and suddenly blocked in front of Old Man Soul Collector.
The figure did not make any motions and merely waved its hand gently. Instantly, Old Man Soul Collector"s expression changed and he retreated hurriedly when he sensed a terrifying aura!
Everyone focused their gazes—it was Book Immortal Yun Zhu!
"Fairy Yun Zhu, what is the meaning of this?"
Perfected Immortal Wu Feng asked with a frown.
"Nothing much."
Yun Zhu said indifferently, "I just can"t stand you guys bullying others."
Meng Yao"s expression was cold. "Yun Zhu, everything today has nothing to do with you. Don"t be a busybody!"
Yun Zhu raised her head and met Meng Yao"s gaze. Without backing down at all, she said slowly, "I"m going to be a busybody today!"
"Anyone who dares to step forward will be going against me, Yun Zhu. Don"t blame me for not showing mercy!"
The moment she said that, a commotion broke out in the crowd!
n.o.body expected the Zither Immortal and Book Immortal to be in a stand-off at the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet and even show signs of fighting!
Even Yun Ting frowned.
He did not want Su Zimo to die in such an aggrieved manner. However, he felt a little jealous when he saw his sister rush out and protect Su Zimo.
He had long realized that his sister seemed to have a close relations.h.i.+p with Su Zimo.
However, he had not expected that things between them had developed to such an extent. Could it be…
Su Zimo was touched and sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness, "Yun Zhu, you don"t have to do this. You won"t be able to defend against them alone today."
He was mentally prepared.
If the Green Lotus True Body was killed, the Martial Dao Prime Body would launch a frenzied revenge!
Yun Zhu did not retreat still and sent a voice transmission, "I"m not only stepping in for you, but also because I feel indignant. They"ve gone too far!"
In reality, when Yun Zhu was young, she loved to fight for injustice and could not stand the unfairness of the world. As such, she offended many sects and factions. That was also why she was locked in the library later on.
All these years, Yun Zhu had been cultivating her character and read a lot of books. She rarely appeared. However, she had always maintained the chivalry and integrity in her heart and had not forgotten about it.
Otherwise, she would not have saved Su Zimo whom she had never met before back in Coiling Dragon Mountain Range and berated Perfected Immortal Jing Yue that he was extremely shameless to bully the weak.
And now, her relations.h.i.+p with Su Zimo was no longer the same as before. There was no way she could sit by idly!
If she were to retreat today, she would not be able to get through the knot in her heart.
Meng Yao sneered and nodded to Old Man Soul Collector, indicating for him to continue forward and ignore Book Immortal Yun Zhu.
She did not believe that as a princess of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom, Yun Zhu would really go against so many Perfected Immortal experts for the sake of a disciple of the academy.
Old Man Soul Collector hesitated for a moment.
However, at the thought that there were dozens of Perfected Immortals backing him, Zither Immortal Meng Yao, Jue Wuying, Perfected Immortal Wu Feng and other experts, he felt more confident and continued charging towards Su Zimo.
Old Man Soul Collector swept past Yun Zhu swiftly but she did not move at all.
Meng Yao, Perfected Immortal Wu Feng and the others exchanged glances and relaxed with smiles.
"Not bad, Fairy Yun Zhu. That"s a wise move…"
Perfected Immortal Wu Feng chuckled. Before he could finish, a change happened and the smile on his face froze.
Swoos.h.!.+
Old Man Soul Collector swept past Yun Zhu and arrived before Su Zimo. Before he could make a move, a jade brush appeared in Yun Zhu"s hands.
Without even looking, she swiped behind her.
The void seemed to have been sliced into two by the jade brus.h.!.+
Old Man Soul Collector paused in his tracks and his gaze suddenly froze. The lifeforce in his body drained rapidly and half of his head seemed to have been sliced off neatly by some sharp weapon!
His Essence Spirit was destroyed on the spot and he died!
This was an Emperor weapon that Yun Zhu had obtained in Avici back then. It was sharp and terrifying!
Psst!
The cultivators gasped when they saw that.
A Perfected Immortal was dead. Furthermore, he died in the hands of Book Immortal Yun Zhu!
At that moment, everyone truly experienced Yun Zhu"s determination and killing intent!
Previously, although everyone felt strange that Yun Zhu was willing to speak up for Su Zimo, they could still accept it.
But now, Book Immortal Yun Zhu was willing to fight against the top Perfected Immortals of the major factions present for Su Zimo—that was completely beyond everyone"s imagination!
In such a tense situation, a single move would affect the entire situation. Once they fought, it would be difficult for them to have any leeway.
Yun Zhu"s attack this time round to kill Old Man Soul Collector was equivalent to not giving herself any way out—she wanted to fight Zither Immortal Meng Yao and the others to the end!
"The Book Immortal was way too decisive and Old Man Soul Collector was killed on the spot before he could react."
"In truth, which of the four great fairies are weak?"
"What do you guys think is the relations.h.i.+p between Fairy Yun Zhu and Su Zimo? Judging from Fairy Yun Zhu"s att.i.tude, why does it feel like there"s something going on between her and Su Zimo?"
"There"s indeed something strange about it. I don"t think she"ll react as such even if Yun Ting was in danger, right?"
"Pfft, pfft. Su Zimo of the academy. How much fortune did he acc.u.mulate over multiple lifetimes such that both the Painting and Book Immortals are willing to stand up for him?"
The cultivators in the Divine Firmament Hall discussed.
Immortal King Qing Yang was still sitting grandly on his chair. Even with the death of a Perfected Immortal, he had no intention of interfering.
Meng Yao"s expression turned cold as she said coldly, "Yun Zhu, are you going to be enemies with us? If that"s the case, don"t blame us for being nasty!"
Sword Immortal Yue Hua shook his head gently. "Fellow Daoist Yun Zhu, you won"t be able to protect Su Zimo alone. Why waste your energy?"
"I"ll do my best."
Yun Zhu"s tone was indifferent but resolute!
The reason why Meng Yao and the others brought so many Perfected Immortal experts was because they were worried that something might happen.
Therefore, even when Yun Zhu appeared, everyone was prepared.
Perfected Immortal Wu Feng summoned his Edgeless Broad Sword and declared, "Book Immortal, I"ve long heard of your reputation. This is a rare opportunity for me to test your strength."
Jue Wuying stood out without saying anything.
Sword Immortal Chunfeng chuckled and withdrew the sword on his waist. He pointed at Yun Zhu from afar and the sword swayed with the wind, trembling slightly.
Meng Yao a.s.sumed a lotus position and had already taken out her zither from her storage bag!
"Haha, let me join in the fun as well!"
Perfected Immortal Mu Feng of Mountain Sea Immortal Sect burst into laughter.
In the blink of an eye, all the top Perfected Immortals stood out and surrounded Book Immortal Yun Zhu!
