Chapter 576: Leap
After releasing Blood Escape, Su Zimo turned to flee without hesitation.
When he pa.s.sed by the little fox who fainted, he scooped her up into his embrace and continued sprinting with all his might!
Su Zimo did not dare to imagine what would happen to the little fox if he abandoned her here.
That would be a fate worse than death!
His figure transformed into a streak of blood light and sped outside.
All the paragons were stunned.
They saw that Su Zimo was a cripple on his last breath, someone who could not even stand steadily.
In the blink of an eye, that cripple released such a terrifying speed!
Even Dao Being Xuan Yu froze momentarily, let alone the Golden Cores who were watching.
Although he was a Void Reversion, a full two major realms above Su Zimo, he was extremely cautious.
He only relented his grip on Su Zimo’s wrist after crus.h.i.+ng the latter’s Golden Core and Inner Core.
However, Dao Being Xuan Yu truly had not expected Su Zimo to still have energy left to escape!
“Blood Escape?”
His eyes flashed as he recognized the origin of that secret skill immediately.
Blood Escape was a secret skill from Asura Sect of the fiend sects and was extremely famous in the cultivation world. It provided a frightening burst power that was far beyond the other escape techniques of the five elements.
“Trying to escape in front of me? You’re truly way too naive!”
Dao Being Xuan Yu sneered, “Let’s see how long more you’re intending to run for!”
Before his sentence was finished, Dao Being Xuan Yu gave chase – his speed was even slightly faster than Su Zimo who was bursting with Blood Escape!
Su Zimo might have truly been able to escape alive with Blood Escape if he was hunted by Nascent Souls.
Unfortunately, he was facing a Void Reversion.
Furthermore, it was a supreme expert of the Void Reversion realm, a cultivator of Gla.s.s Palace!
Right now, in Dao Being Xuan Yu’s eyes, Su Zimo’s escape was nothing more than an ant struggling on the brink of death.
The distance between the two of them was decreasing rapidly!
If not for the fact that Su Zimo had made a move first, Dao Being Xuan Yu would have caught up to him within a few dozens of breaths!
Many Golden Cores followed hurriedly.
However, their speeds were far inferior compared to Dao Being Xuan Yu and Su Zimo who was in Blood Escape.
Thankfully, there were not many obstructions before them and the path was clear.
The paragons chased while gazing the entire time.
“By the looks of it, Dao Being Xuan Yu will be able to catch up to Su Zimo in less than a hundred breaths.”
“That’s right. Even with Blood Escape, that man is only grasping at straws. His death is inevitable.”
“I guess he’s just trying to stay alive for every single second possible for now.”
Mu Dongqing and Bai Yuhan had conflicted expressions when they heard the discussions.
No matter what, Su Zimo was a cultivator of Great Zhou.
They even had ties with him previously.
In the end, neither of them were as relaxed as everyone else when they saw the state he was in.
After a slight chase, Mu Dongqing suddenly exclaimed softly and frowned, murmuring to himself, “This direction doesn’t seem right. It seems to be…”
“Could it be…”
“The Dragon Burial Valley!”
Some cultivators in the crowd noticed something strange and exclaimed.
The Dragon Burial Valley was an extremely unlucky place. In the catastrophe 10,000 years ago, the blood of emperors was spilled, patriarchs were killed and a divine dragon was buried there!
In the past 10,000 years, countless experts have made their way into the Dragon Burial Valley to check things out. Eventually, there was no news of any of them and neither did they return.
It was said that even Dharma Characteristics and Conjoint Bodies wouldn’t be able to make it out alive!
Among them, there were some renowned and famous monster incarnates and supreme experts.
In fact, there were even people who regarded the Dragon Burial Valley as the tenth forbidden ground apart from the Nine Forbidden Grounds!
Suddenly, all the paragons read Su Zimo’s mind.
Since he knew he was going to die, he might as well leap into the Dragon Burial Valley so that Dao Being Xuan Yu gets nothing at all!
Dao Being Xuan Yu’s expression was grim in midair – clearly, he had read Su Zimo’s mind as well.
His blood qi surged and his Dharmic powers gushed. By now, his speed was already at its limits and there was even a buzzing sound coming from the voids!
The Vermilion Fruit was born in the depths of the Great Qian Ruins and was extremely close to the Dragon Burial Valley.
Now that Dao Being Xuan Yu was pursuing Su Zimo and his Blood Escape with full speed, the two of them arrived at the location of the Dragon Burial Valley before long!
Not far ahead, a gigantic ravine split the entire Great Qian Ruins into two.
The ravine was dark and chilling, exuding a shuddering aura!
From midair, it looked like it was a t.i.tanic creature with its mouth open, ready to devour any food that presents itself!
“Little beast, how dare you!”
Dao Being Xuan Yu was fl.u.s.tered and could not help but shout sternly.
He would suffer great losses if Su Zimo were to truly leap into the Dragon Burial Valley!
The divine phoenix bone and secret behind the double immortality and divine phoenix bone would be buried in the Dragon Burial Valley forever alongside Su Zimo’s leap!
Arriving at the edge of the Dragon Burial Valley, Su Zimo looked down and felt his head spin.
His injuries were way too severe.
Be it physically or mentally, he was at his limits after his Golden Core was destroyed, Inner Core shattered and the release of Blood Escape after a drawn out battle.
A conflicted look flashed through Su Zimo’s eyes.
He was indignant at the end of the day to die just like this.
However, if he were to end up in Dao Being Xuan Yu’s hands and endure endless torment, he’d rather jump down here and end things once and for all!
“Forget it.”
Su Zimo sighed internally.
“Little beast… S-Su Zimo!”
Dao Being Xuan Yu changed his manner of address hurriedly.
Standing at the edge of the Dragon Burial Valley, Su Zimo swayed as though a slight wind could knock him over – Dao Being Xuan Yu did not dare to close in at all.
“Su Zimo, there’s no need for you to do this,”
Dao Being Xuan Yu said with a deep voice, “We can make a trade. As long as you hand the divine phoenix bone to me, I can forget about the grudges between us!”
Su Zimo looked at Dao Being Xuan Yu mockingly with his back facing the Dragon Burial Valley.
Although Dao Being Xuan Yu was smiling on the surface, he cursed internally, “Don’t worry, I’m a man of my words. As long as you’re willing to hand over the divine phoenix bone, I’ll leave immediately without hurting you at all!”
“You want the divine phoenix bone? Sure!”
Su Zimo smiled and jumped behind, remarking indifferently as he fell into the Dragon Burial Valley, “Come down and take it!”
“You… ”
Dao Being Xuan Yu was enraged and disappeared from the spot in a flash.
In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the edge of the Dragon Burial Valley and stopped hurriedly.
He wanted to extend his robes to pull Su Zimo up but it was already too late.
He could only watch as Su Zimo fell into the darkness, vanis.h.i.+ng entirely.
10,000 years ago, a few emperors of the human race joined forces and fought a legendary war against the divine dragon, forming this gigantic ravine.
The ravine was not only the tomb of the divine dragon, there were even more frightening powers mixed within it.
Even a Dharmic weapon would turn into dust if it fell inside, let alone the body of a cultivator.
Dao Being Xuan Yu did not dare to head down and could only watch as the divine phoenix bone disappeared from his sights.
“Little beast, do you think that this is over? Since you killed my grandson, I’m going to exterminate the Su family and no one will be spared!”
Dao Being Xuan Yu had a menacing expression that was beyond horrifying!
