Chapter 2367: Su Mo’s Method
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Tuoba Liuming picked the right time to strike. It was when Su Mo got within seven meters and the penetrating pressure was great.
Su Mo would be badly hit at this moment.
Tuoba Liuming had no intention to kill Su Mo as they did not have bad blood with each other. Moreover, he knew that it was difficult to kill Su Mo as he possessed the Immortal Chaotic Body.
He attacked Su Mo simply to prevent him from reaching the mountain peak.
“Tuoba Liuming… you are despicable!”
Gongsun Jia shouted angrily when he saw what Tuoba Liuming had done. Although he had wanted to stop Tuoba Liuming, he was unable to do so.
They were too close to Qin Yun and it only took Tuoba Liuming an instant to attack Su Mo.
Han Sheng’s expression changed. However, he was not furious like Gongsun Jia.
He was in a predicament. He hoped that Qin Yun would help him unravel the mystery of the Ultimate Sword Art, but on the other hand, he was worried that Qin Yun had a special background.
Such a powerful person who had kept a low profile had to be someone with a special background.
As for Gujian Shan and Yun Mu, they looked indifferent. They were happy with what Tuoba Liuming had done.
Everyone knew that Tuoba Liuming possessed great strength.
However, as he was 16 meters away from the mountain peak, he could only exert less than three percent of his combat strength.
After the penetrating pressure had weakened the power of Tuoba Liuming’s attack, only one percent of the power was left by the time it reached Su Mo.
Even under such a small degree of attack, Su Mo found it unbearable.
When Su Mo was seven meters away from Sword Mountain, he had to withstand the attack of the penetrating pressure as well as Tuoba Liuming’s Sword Qi.
He could not duck away and had to take the blow.
Rumble!
As expected, Su Mo’s defense gave way and it was smashed into pieces.
As Su Mo possessed the Immortal Chaotic Body, it tried to reconstruct his body.
However, the penetrating pressure from Sword Mountain attacked him perpetually, preventing his body from reconstructing.
“Tuoba Liuming, you must be tired of living!” Su Mo still possessed strong Spiritual consciousness and he shouted out using his thoughts. Everyone heard what he had said.
“Qin Yun, I will never let you reach the peak!” Tuoba Liuming sneered. He was not intimidated by Su Mo.
Although Su Mo had broken through the realm and was a Rank 3 Lower True G.o.d, it would be impossible for Su Mo to defeat him.
“You can’t stop me!” Su Mo said. He could not deal with Tuoba Liuming at that moment, but when he had reached the mountain peak, he would suppress him.
Su Mo triggered his Spiritual consciousness to control the Immortal Chaotic Body to help his body recover. However, the penetrating pressure from Sword Mountain was forceful and it prevented his body from recovering.
His body started to break down and turned into a big piece of Blood Fog. The Chaotic Power Source covered Su Mo up as he stood seven meters away from the mountain peak.
If Su Mo had moved back slightly, he would be able to recover instantly. However, he did not do so.
After working hard on it for some time, Su Mo’s body did not recover and that made him ponder.
The penetrating pressure of Sword Mountain was terrifying. Even if Tuoba Liuming had not attacked Su Mo, he would not have been able to withstand it.
Given Su Mo’s talent and strength, if he was unable to withstand the penetrating pressure at this distance, it would show the difficulty in reaching the peak of Sword Mountain.
No one had ever reached the mountain peak and the people believed that no one would ever reach it.
Given the level of difficulty, even a gifted genius could not make it to the peak.
How can I fend off the penetrating pressure?
Su Mo pondered. However, he was unable to come up with a solution no matter how hard he tried.
Gu Jianshan, Tuoba Liuming, Gongsun Jia, and Han Sheng fixed their gazes on Su Mo. They saw that his body had turned into Blood Fog.
Everyone had a different thought in their mind and the only thing they had in common was that they knew that Su Mo had encountered some problems.
If it were not so, Su Mo’s Immortal Chaotic Body would have already reconstructed his physical body.
Time pa.s.sed as Su Mo attempted to reconstruct his physical body and at the same time, he was thinking of a way to get up to the peak.
Soon, he thought of a way out. However, a high risk was involved and it could cost him his life.
His method was to use his Immortal Chaotic Body to help him move up to the peak without reconstructing his physical body.
This meant that he would control the mysterious field of the Immortal Chaotic Body to help him move on.
This method was risky as it could get him killed if the Immortal Chaotic Body was unable to take the great penetrating pressure.
After all, the Immortal Chaotic Body was formed by a special Force Field of a Runes Array. As long as the Force Field was around, the martial artist could continue to survive even if his body was destroyed.
However, if the attack was too powerful and it went beyond what the Runes Force Field could handle, the Immortal Chaotic Body would be destroyed.
Fortunately, Su Mo had a good foundation. He moved slowly and was prepared to retreat at any time if things got out of hand.
Soon, Su Mo came to a decision. He used his Spiritual consciousness to control the Runes Force Field of the Immortal Chaotic Body and slowly moved up to the mountain peak.
Su Mo’s Primordial Spirits, Chaotic Power Source, and flesh and blood were within the Force Field as he moved up to the mountain peak.
“What? Does he intend to move up the peak in this manner?”
“He is gutsy!”
“Is it feasible?”
More than 20 gifted geniuses who were at the foot of Sword Mountain were stunned when they saw Su Mo’s actions.
Tuoba Liuming and Yun Mu were amazed as well. Has Qin Yun decided to put his life on the line in order to reach the peak?
Su Mo moved on slowly as he had been attacked perpetually by the penetrating pressure.
His body had turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y Fog. As the penetrating pressure attacked him, his body surged constantly.
He had to control his Immortal Chaotic Body to prevent it from collapsing.
Fortunately, everything was under his control. His Immortal Chaotic Body was far from collapsing.
After around eight minutes, Su Mo was three meters away from the mountain peak.
The Blood Fog that was formed by Su Mo’s body became more scattered and it covered a radius of 152 centimeters.
“He only has a few more meters to go!”
“Can he make it?”
“The exciting moment has come!”
Everyone was anxious and amazed. Qin Yun was only three meters away from the peak of Sword Mountain. If he managed to go beyond the three meters, he would create a miracle.
Tuoba Liuming lifted his sword slightly but soon, he put it away.
Although he had wanted to attack Qin Yun, he would not be able to inflict any injury on him.
By the time his attack reached Qin Yun, the power would diminish and it would not have much of an impact on Qin Yun.
If Qin Yun did not possess the Immortal Chaotic Body, Tuoba Liuming would have attacked him again. However, he gave up the thought as Qin Yun indeed possessed the Immortal Body.
This is impossible! Tuoba Liuming said in his heart. It was difficult to cross the last leap!
“Will he succeed?” Yun Mu muttered to herself. She did not want Qin Yun to succeed but on the other hand, she was eager to find out what would happen after Qin Yun had reached the peak. Will he be able to get his hands on the secret to the Ultimate Sword Art?
This is the last leap! Gongsun Jia took a deep breath. He was anxious. The moment had come for them to find out if Qin Yun was able to reach the peak.
“How can this be?” Gu Jianshan found it hard to believe. Qin Yun is indeed powerful!
Su Mo continued to move on as everyone fixed their gazes anxiously on him. He was less than three meters from the mountain peak.
The pressure that Su Mo was experiencing was no longer as great. Although the penetrating pressure continued to increase, attempting to disintegrate his body, it was still within the acceptable range that the Immortal Chaotic Body could take.
In other words, although the attacks were terrifying, they were still within the limits of the Immortal Chaotic Body.
As Su Mo continued to move on, he was soon one and a half meters away from the mountain peak.
He is almost there!
Everyone widened their eyes in amazement. Is he truly getting onto the peak of Sword Mountain? Is he going to break the records?
