Chapter 364: The Pursuit
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The windy Skygale Valley was outside 10,000-year Grotto.
After Li Hai, Yuwen Jun and their companion left 10,000-year Grotto, they entered the endless whirlwind.
Although they were flying downwind, they still slowed down significantly.
Swoos.h.!.+
Su Mo also entered the wind. He was significantly faster in the wind, merging his consciousness with the wind, and swung his sword toward Yuwen Jun.
“Final Hit of Heavenly Wind!”
With a flash of cold sword radiance, the Swordplay of the Wind System grew stronger with the help of the surrounding wind.
Sword Qi shot toward Yuwen Jun at a remarkable speed.
Yuwen Jun had been on the defensive and did not dare underestimate Su Mo’s attack. In the restricting winds, he had no choice but to launch a counterattack.
“Break!”
Yuwen Jun rapidly swung his sword and accurately pierced the sword Qi.
Boom!
The sword Qi shattered, and Yuwen Jun let out a m.u.f.fled groan as his body flew backward rapidly.
Yu Wenjun felt incredibly shocked, Su Mo was so powerful in this wind that he was no match for him!
Swoos.h.!.+
Yuwen Jun’s Genuine Vitality continuously poured out to s.h.i.+eld against the winds, and he flew quickly out of the valley.
Li Hai and Fang Qingyun were also shocked. If even Yu Wenjun was no match for Su Mo, they definitely were not. Luckily, it was easier to leave Skygale Valley than to enter, so the two desperately tried to escape.
“Die!”
Su Mo kept attacking Yuwen Jun and sending out countless streams of sharp sword Qi.
The powerful Yuwen Jun resisted with all his might and surrounded himself with Body-protection Sword Qi. Despite Su Mo’s endless furious attacks, he remained untouched.
He also used the momentum of Su Mo’s attacks to speed up and pa.s.s his two companions.
Su Mo felt incredibly frustrated because Yuwen Jun was so strong that far-range attacks were useless against him. He needed to use his physical strength in close-range battle to win.
“Oh no!” Li Hai and Fang Qingyun’s expressions changed. They felt protected against Su Mo when Yuwen Jun was behind them, but now they had to face Su Mo’s attacks.
“Prepare to die!” Su Mo shouted, swinging his sword toward Li Hai and Fang Qingyun.
“Infinite Supremacy!”
“Infinite Heaven and Earth!”
Two streams of terrifying sword Qi that were thousands of meters long tore through the wind and shot toward the two of them like lightning.
The powerful streams of sword Qi blended into the wind and frightened them. Although they knew that they could barely manage to fend off the attack, they didn’t want to do that. Because if they got injured, Su Mo could absorb their blood.
They gritted their teeth, each took out a Jade Charm, and tossed them behind.
Li Hai’s Jade Charm turned into a giant gray s.h.i.+eld, while Fang Qingyun’s Jade Charm turned into a blue flower.
The two objects collided with Su Mo’s sword Qi and instantly exploded.
Rumble!
Although the s.h.i.+eld and flower shattered, they completely fended off Su Mo’s attack, and the two people sped up to escape the valley.
“What kind of Jade Charm is this?”
Su Mo had not expected them to be so hard to kill, but he also knew that since they were from the big domains of East Continent, they were probably very wealthy and had many hidden cards.
However, these three people had tried to kill him before, so he wasn’t going to let them off.
Su Mo continued closely pursuing the three of them.
Soon, they reached the periphery of Skygale Valley and were close to the exit.
The few remaining geniuses in Skygale Valley were initially shocked by the escaping Yuwen Jun and then burst into chatter.
“d.a.m.n it, am I dreaming? Yuwen Jun is running away!”
“Wow! Who is going after Yuwen Jun, Li Hai, and Fang Qingyun?”
“Could he be stronger than Yuwen Jun?”
“It seems that they have the 10,000-year Stalact.i.te, and whoever is pursuing them is trying to kill them for it!”
Everyone was extremely shocked. This mystery figure had to be unthinkably powerful to send Yuwen Jun running.
Among the chatter, Su Mo and the others had left Skygale Valley and disappeared into the horizon.
Su Mo closely pursued the frantically escaping Yuwen Jun, Li Hai, and Fang Qingyun.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, do you really think I’m afraid of you?” Yuwen Jun yelled angrily as he turned around.
He was the number two genius on the list of Top 100 Talents in Dark Domain, but he had failed to get the 10,000-year Stalact.i.te and was being chased by someone. This enraged him to no end.
“Since you’re not afraid, let’s fight!” Su Mo chuckled coldly, turned to the other two, and said, “And you two!”
Yuwen Jun instantly fell silent. Although he was not afraid of Su Mo, he also couldn’t kill him. After increasing his cultivation, Su Mo was probably stronger than him, and his defense was superior.
The other two were also silent and huddled closely behind Yuwen Jun for safety.
“Humf! Try to catch me then! I bet you won’t be able to!” Yuwen Jun scoffed coldly and shot out at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed.
Li Hai and Fang Qingyun also sped up to the same speed.
Su Mo furrowed his brows. Although he was very fast, he was still slightly slower than the three and couldn’t catch up.
“When I get a chance, I must take up a powerful body move technique!” he thought. His body move technique was at too low of a level and practically useless because it rendered him slower than most of his peers.
Su Mo’s and his opponents’ figures turned into blurs that flitted through forests and lakes of Firmament Divine Realm, covering thousands of meters in the blink of an eye.
Everyone they pa.s.sed were shocked by the pursuit and tried to guess Su Mo’s ident.i.ty.
The distance between Su Mo and Yuwen Jun’s group eventually drew from a couple hundred meters to thousands of meters.
Su Mo sighed inwardly, “There’s no way I can catch up!”
Suddenly, Su Mo flew past a forest and saw a giant battle going on inside.
One side was Wu Sheng, Han Qianze, Han Yijian and other members of Hong Domain, while the other side was two black-robed young men.
Wu Sheng’s side was heavily injured and at a grave disadvantage to the two black-robed young men.
“You’re so shameless!” Han Qianze roared angrily as he fended off their attacks.
After his group had left Skygale Valley, they found a couple precious treasures that were guarded by powerful demonic beasts. They fought together with the two black-robed young men against the beasts, but when it came time to share the spoils, the two young men betrayed them. Not only did they want to take the treasure for themselves, they also wanted to kill them.
“Hehe! Do you losers from Hong Domain think you have the right to share our treasures? We’re going to kill you and suck up all of your blood essence!”
The two black-robed young men scoffed coldly and attacked more vigorously, placing Han Qianze’s group in grave danger.
