The Eternal Soaring Sword

Chapter 37 - Zombie Spirit Eater

After taking out the Nine Sons Mother Banner, the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder revealed a cruel smile and his eyes were filled with bloodlust.

All the magical treasures in the world are divided into good and evil. The Mother of Nine Sons banner was not only an evil treasure, but a method to make it extremely cruel and bloody. One had to suck up all the essence blood from a pregnant woman and then extract her soul to purify it for months. Not only that, the baby must stay alive throughout the process, so the chance of success is only one in ten. 

Once the first step is successful, the pregnant woman will be purified for several months until her blood and baby are connected. At that time, someone will cut off her stomach, kill her baby and expel her soul to force and control the woman. He would then go kill the children and take their souls to be purified into treasure.

Due to matching problems, the failure rate of this step is very high. One had to find eight children with matching souls to complete the Nine Sons Mother Flag. How many children were killed to find the eight souls?

Su Su's chest rose and fell as he thought of the children who had died because of the old man, and his mind was muddled with anger. Zhao Jiuge's expression was not much better than Su Su.

Looking at the nine different-looking and sinister children, there was a lot of emotion in their hearts. The old man's hand formed a seal and the woman's head opened her mouth and rushed towards Zhao Jiuge.

Fire Li was urged by Zhao Jiuge and rushed into the sky. It immediately condensed into a fire snake and would devour the head of the woman flying towards him.

“Hmph!”

When the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder saw Zhao Jiuge's actions, he let out a cold snort. His right hand stretched out into the sky and a blood-colored light suddenly gathered. There was a great fluctuation of blood red spirit power and then, with a wave of his hand, he shot towards the fire snake made of Li Fire.

The blood-red palm measuring several meters in size made from spirit power crashed into the fire snake. The palm of the hand caught the fire snake and squeezed it. The fire snake struggled like crazy but could not break away. Zhao Jiuge focused his mind on the Li Fire Flag to manipulate the flames.

However, how could his spirit power compare to the Ten Thousand Corpse Elders, who were in the Foundation Realm? The fire snakes made from Li Fire became smaller and smaller, but the blood-colored palms were still filled with strength.

All this happened in an instant. In an instant, the woman's head arrived in front of Zhao Jiuge. Su Su, who was standing behind Zhao Jiuge and wanted to get into action immediately, finally made a move.

The milky white light suddenly shone, rich and bright like a proud moon. The soft moonlight caused the gloomy atmosphere to slightly disappear. With a wave of his hand, a sword appeared and struck the woman's head, knocking her back several tens of meters. The woman's head screamed from the pain, and her face became even scarier as she advanced once more.

The blood-colored palm shattered the fire snake formed by the Fire Flag of Li and disappeared completely. Zhao Jiuge could not help feeling helpless as his two greatest aces had been destroyed so easily. When he saw Su Su acting with spirit power that was much stronger than him, he relaxed a little. He could only gather his own spirit power to deal with the Ten Thousand Corpses Elder.

The brilliant milky white spirit light repelled the woman's head and was repulsed once more but was unharmed. This time, Zhao Jiuge followed up with the light of his own sword, and they attacked the Mother Nine Sons Flag together. The old man did not feel depressed when he saw this, but he became irritated, no longer wanting to investigate the two juniors.

Then his thin right hand took out another treasure, the Black Dragon Whip he had bought from the auction. A magical treasure like a rope! Zhao Jiuge looked at him with envy, and even a hint of greed appeared in his heart.

He threw the Black Dragon Whip into the air and his hands began to form a seal to control the banner. The Black Dragon Whip moved like a snake and shot towards Zhao Jiuge. Su Su wanted to help but was helpless because at this moment, the female head and even the nine children were all rushing towards him.

He had no time to be distracted, so he flew into the air with a single step. He stared at the head of the woman and the nine children, and the spirit light around him became brighter. A pressure that was no weaker than the Ten Thousand Corpse Elder appeared. At this moment, the old man was startled and started to seriously observe this young girl before him.

Zhao Jiuge always knew that he was not simple — it was clear from his temperament and the things he had. However, he had not expected the gap to be so great when their ages were so similar. He was already at the Nature Foundation! He was still recovering from his shock when he felt something wrap around him. The Black Dragon Whip wrapped him tightly.

His eyes were wide open and he tried to use his spirit power to break free, but he found that whenever his spirit power touched the Black Dragon Whip, it would squeeze even tighter. He could only lie there quietly without resisting and watch the two people fighting in the sky. He could not help but feel the bitterness due to the gap in strength.

Ten continuous rays of milky white sword light flew out and hit the heads of the women and nine children. Attacks with this much precision required not only strong cultivation and control of externalizing spirit power, but most importantly, talent!

The woman's head flew backwards even more but still did not suffer any serious injuries. The nine children who were starting to cry out in pain, made the atmosphere somewhat strange. Su Su Su's anger flared up, and when she saw that the attack had no effect, she grabbed her hairpin.

Bum, boom...

Two loud explosions resounded and all four palms disappeared—his strength was equal! After the four palms disappeared, the souls inside the Nine Sons Mother Flag rushed forward like puppets that were not afraid of being attacked. For the first time, a shocking killing intent appeared on Su Su Su's beautiful face. For the tragic deaths of these children and for the horrible actions of this old man, Su Su plucked out a purple hairpin in his hair.

His long black hair spread across his shoulders.

At this moment, a hint of drunkenness and gentleness appeared in Zhao Jiuge's eyes as he watched the battle.

The purple jade hairpin was the size of his palm, and began to glow. It looked extremely outstanding and noble in Su Su's hands. He gently waved his right hand towards Zhao Jiuge and a streak of purple light flew across the Black Dragon Whip around Zhao Jiuge.

Wean...

A soft and crisp voice echoed and the formidable Black Dragon Whip was easily broken. Zhao Jiuge only felt envy and pity for himself.

"You old, immortal being, I will do the work of heaven and kill you today" he said with clenched teeth as his chest rose down in anger.

“Haha, only a little girl like you would want to kill me? I've done a lot of bad things and I've been alive all this time. I don't expect someone as young as you to have a cultivation comparable to this old man, and you also have many treasures. Today, I will first suck your essence blood to dry, then I will extract your soul to make it my treasure spirit. ” The old man laughed out loud and did not hide the fact that he had done terrible things.

Su Su had been held in high esteem by everyone in his family. When did he hear someone say that they would suck his essence blood dry and extract his soul? At this moment, flames of fury lit up brightly in his heart.

Not wasting any time, she continued to wave the purple hairpin in her hand and her long black dress fluttered. Below, Zhao Jiuge was preparing to watch a good show. She did not expect Su Su to have the other side of her.

A purple light rushed towards the Nine Sons Mother Banner with a terrifying aura. The blackish-gray banner still floated there. The old man did not think Su Su would dodge the soul and head straight for the main body of the banner. He was caught off guard and panicked as he released spirit power to block the purple light.

However, the purple light was too fast, so it flew in the blink of an eye. The old man could only watch as a purple light attacked the main body of the Nine Sons Mother Banner. A purple light surrounded the banner, then the sound of something being torn echoed. The blackish-gray banner had originally fallen to the ground and was now torn to pieces.

“Ahhhhhhh..”.

A sharp shrill came from the female head, then the nine children followed and shouted as well. The gray smoke around them dimmed, and the two smaller children could not resist the blow and disappeared. Due to the lack of spirit power to support them, the female head and the remaining seven children rushed back to what was left of the Nine Sons Mother Flag.

"Listen, no matter what power is behind you, from whatever family or sect you come from, no matter what power is behind you, today I will suck up all of your essence blood and extract you to make up for the loss of my Nine Sons Mother Banner!" Even though the old man was stupid, he understood that in order for this young girl to have a cultivation that was no weaker than hers and so many incredible treasures, she must have a strong background. However, the destruction of her beloved Nine Sons Mother's Flag had angered her to the point of losing her mind, and her eyes were as red as the eyes of a madman.

Ding, ding, ding!

The crisp sound of a bell echoed as the old man pulled out a bell similar to the one that the skinny man had yesterday. It was bigger and a little different in color. It was like an enlarged Soul Summon Bell.

Seeing the old man's actions, Zhao Jiuge cursed at how many magic treasures this old man possessed. They looked endless, and his heart became slightly unbalanced.

The crisp sound of the bell still continued, but at an unknown moment, an additional person appeared opposite Zhao Jiuge. To be exact, it was a zombie with dry skin, a stiff body, and soulless eyes. The rest was the same as a normal person, but without vitality and a hint of bloodlust!
