The Eternal Soaring Sword

Chapter 36 - The Mother of the Nine Sons Banner

Su Su's embarrassed smile froze and he shook his head at Zhao Jiuge's question. Then his eyes lit up as he thought for a moment but was unsure. "Maybe this .. is related to ghosts. From these fluctuations, it should at least be a Foundation Realm cultivator. ” 

“Hmph, I know you're here. If you don't want me to kill this whole village, then hurry out!” A cold snort and sound resounded clearly throughout the village with the help of spirit power. It was filled with killing intent.

Both surprised. It was a familiar spirit fluctuation from the Corpse Gather Chant!

Zhao Jiuge's heart sank and he looked at Su Su. "Let's go. If it's a blessing, it's not a curse, and if it's a curse, you can't avoid it.” His voice was a bit hoarse due to the excitement and his tone even slightly changed. However, compared to Zhao Jiuge, Su Su was very calm.

All the families in the village had awakened from this great movement, but none of them dared to go out to see what was happening. At this moment, all the lights in the village went out. All that remains is darkness and silence.

The village entrance.

The skinny old man wrapped in black robes stared coldly at the young man and woman who had walked out. As the wind blew fiercely, the terrifying spirit power coming from his body created a powerful pressure that made it difficult to breathe.

Looking at the two handsome young men who had extraordinary cultivation, the old man felt a pain in his heart. He had his son very late and had spent a lot of effort to raise his son's cultivation level to the Spirit Transformation Realm. He had not expected his son to die as soon as he went into closed-door cultivation to form his spirit core! He wanted to reach the Spirit Core Realm before taking his son away from Dong Yang City to increase their cultivation and do what they wanted in this world.

Unfortunately, his short-lived son had been killed by the two of them. Since they were cultivating with evil cultivation methods, they had to worry about everyone being righteous and remain hermits near a small place like Dong Yang City. They relied on his Foundation Realm cultivation to do what they wanted here. The skinny and moody old man could no longer contain his anger. "If this old man does not purify your soul, I will not be able to face my dead son!"

His killing intent was terrifying and his cold words shook Zhao Jiuge's heart!

"That's you!"

Looking at the skinny and moody old man, Zhao Jiuge was startled and his eyes opened wide. This old man was the one who had bought the Black Dragon Whip and then disappeared afterwards.

That day, when he saw the black-robed old man, he felt extremely uncomfortable and goosebumps appeared all over his body. The old man's eyes were like a poisonous snake. When he met the thin and strange man, he felt like he was a bit familiar. It turns out he was that old boy.

On that day on the second floor, Zhao Jiuge asked Mo Longjie about those people because he was curious. This skinny old man was called the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder, who was cultivating using spiritual energy at night and the corpse aura from the corpse. He's at the Nature Foundation. Although many people disliked his methods, they were all afraid of his strength.

He had some magical treasures that were not bad, but his cultivation method was something that others disliked, so he had no friends. Zhao Jiuge cursed his luck. Yesterday, if not for running away, he would not have run to the unmarked grave where the old man and his son were cultivating. Then his son would not threaten to drain their essence blood, forcing him and Su Su to act. Otherwise, why would he go looking for people to kill that would cause this old man to chase after him?

Just as Zhao Jiuge was silently cursing, the old man could not help the sadness and anger in his heart. A ferocious blood-red spirit power surged out and wrapped around it with a blood-red layer. Wildlife is all but gone, leaving only the sound of leaves and twigs shaking.

The terrifying pressure made the breathing of Zhao Jiuge and Su Su Su difficult and heavy. Golden and milky white light surged out to protect their bodies. At this moment, three different colors were shining outside of this small village.

Zhao Jiuge took a step forward to protect Su Su, his golden spirit light soaring. "Let me, you're no match for him." Before Su Su finished speaking, Zhao Jiuge had already made a move.

The first one to move will be in control. Zhao Jiuge was not a person who was afraid of fighting. Since hatred came from killing the old man's son, this battle was unavoidable. Then it was better for him to get the first move. The golden spirit power wrapped around his right hand.

A sword is formed.

The golden sword light continued to grow brighter and its momentum surged. It flew forward, creating a surge of spirit power like a waterfall. It instantly arrived before the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder.

There was no glaring light or huge ripples, it was just a cold snort. The Ten Thousand Corpses Elder flicked his finger and a ball of blood-colored light the size of a grain of rice flew into the dazzling golden sword light.

There was no heaven-shaking collision when the two collided, the sword light melting like snow. The sword light disappeared, followed by blood-colored grains. The difference in spirit power between someone at the late stage of the Foundation Realm and someone at the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm was like heaven and earth. The attack that had taken all his efforts had been countered with just a flick from the old man.

The old man was surprised by the appearance of the golden dragon, but he was only surprised for a moment before returning indifferently. He raised his right hand and spirit power gathered to form a blood-colored sword in an instant. In the Foundation Realm, one would constantly absorb spiritual energy to be transformed into spirit power like a madman, even when not cultivating. That was because in the Foundation Realm, the formation within your dantian would be complete to automatically absorb spiritual energy.

Zhao Jiuge needed time to condense that sword light, but the old man could do it in an instant. With a wave of his right hand, an ordinary-looking sword light flew towards the golden light. That blood-colored sword flew across the night sky like a river of blood.

The golden dragon was now not only more corporal, but even slightly larger. The golden dragon scales were extremely lively and emitted a faint golden light. Seeing the sword approaching, the dragon's eyes lit up, but he was not afraid as it pounced forward.

Bang out!

The golden dragon's tail smashed into the blood-colored sword from above and then scattered into the trees below. The body of the golden dragon became dim and seemed like it could disappear at any moment. There was even the same gray smoke around his body as yesterday, but it was much stronger.

The golden dragon let out a painful roar and toppled his body. It clawed frantically at the smoke around his body, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. The old man had not expected his sword to be slashed like that, so the result had greatly surprised him. However, this did not change his plan to avenge—he was still filled with killing intent.

Zhao Jiuge cursed in his mind, but his eyes were filled with fighting intent. Today, he hit a metal plate. He roared and raged in his heart.

"Power! Power! Power!"

Throughout his youth, he had been bullied in the village. Then he helplessly stepped onto the path of cultivation, but he was still bullied by others. He craved the power of—he had to cultivate more because he did not want to be stepped on anymore!

A light flashed in front of him — it was Fire Flag Li! Madness appeared in his eyes as he clenched his teeth. He ignored the wound from yesterday that he had just recovered and activated the Fire Flag Li!

Whoa, woosh.

A terrifying flame surged, expelling a bloodthirsty and gloomy aura. The dancing flames made Zhao Jiuge's heart feel a little better. The old man was shocked when he saw Li Fire, then his face became twisted and cruel.

He had not expected this little boy to bring so many surprises. The old man no longer wanted to waste any more time and he started muttering a few words. A cloth banner that was half the length of a person appeared from the void. The blackish-gray flag was covered in strong yin energy and had gray gas surrounding it.

The sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds.

Even the silver moon was quietly hiding behind the dark clouds. The old man's hand quickly formed a seal and his singing became even faster. The blackish-gray banner hummed from its vibration as if something was about to come apart.

Zhao Jiuge looked at the strange banner with a silly expression. That strange and frightening movement made him forget to inject spirit power into the Li Fire Flag. Su Su had a serious expression as he stared at this, and when he saw the banner shaking, his eyes were filled with shock. "By fast! Stop her!"

After hearing Su Su's shout, Zhao Jiuge regained his senses and quickly injected spirit power into the Li Fire Flag. The flames turned into several fire dragons and charged towards the old man.

But it's too late!

Surprising scenes happen. The head of a woman with a fierce face appeared. His hair was messy, his skin was gray, and blood was still coming out of his hole. She appeared with nine different babies with the same gloomy aura. At this moment, the color of the moon was extremely dim and dark clouds were gathering above the banner.

An unspeakable sense of panic and gloom caused Zhao Jiuge's scalp to numb. He had never seen such a shocking sight in his life. The female head and nine babies whimpered as they circled the banner.

Zhao Jiuge felt goosebumps covering his entire body and he even felt his heart pausing for a moment as his pupils contracted.

Su Su's chest rose and fell as she looked at this cruel and strange scene. Even his pleasant voice became shrill and his face was filled with disbelief. “How can you fine the Mother of Nine Sons Banner !? This was a despicable magic treasure, a heartless monster! You are an animal!”
