“My condolences, fellow daoists.”
The girl in pink ca to Wu Xiangming’s side and said, “That person attacked us out of no reason and killed two people. It’s highly likely that was soone from a fiend sect.”
Wu Xiangming and the others nodded in pain.
“Sigh, it’s all my fault.”
The girl in pink sighed gently in an aggrieved manner. “If it wasn’t for , those two fellow daoists wouldn’t have been implicated and ended up dying here. Those from fiend sects are so powerful. I think we’re no match for them.”
When he heard that, Wu Xiangming hurriedly said, “It’s not your fault, Yan’er.”
The girl in pink pursed her lips as a glint flashed in her eyes. As though she had made so sort of a decision, she replied gently, “Brother Wu, please leave! I’ve decided to proceed alone! Please don’t follow anymore. If you guys end up being hurt because of , I’ll...”
The girl in pink burst into tears as she spoke, tears welling up in her eyes in a pitiful manner.
For that mont, Su Zimo was almost moved by the girl in pink’s display of emotions as well.
However, he snapped out of his stupor right after and his expression was cold.
Wu Xiangming was sowhat at a loss. He wanted to reach out and help the girl in pink wipe away her tears. However, as though he had lost his courage, he imdiately remarked, “Yan’er, don’t cry! Don’t worry. I’ll definitely accompany you to the very end!”
The other Southern Mountains Sect cultivator chid in as well.
At the side, Yan Fei was evidently moved too. However, the way he looked at the girl in pink was a little strange, as though there was a hint of lust and evil in his eyes.
“Yan’er, listen to .”
Wu Xiangming said deeply, “That person may have been swift and decisive in his attacks, but in a direct battle, he may not be a match for .”
The girl in pink stopped sniffling and nodded her head, not fully understanding.
Su Zimo lanted internally, ‘Even though this person is completely bewitched by the girl in pink, he still has so sanity left in him and knows how to analyze the situation.’
In Su Zimo’s opinion, the corpse earlier was akin to how assassins behaved as detailed in history books – if they missed their attacks, they would flee.
Assassins need not be extrely strong, but they specialize in disguise, concealnt and stealth. Like a shadow, the combination of those techniques was terrifying and extrely difficult to deal with.
Of course, although Wu Xiangming realized that, Su Zimo did not have high hopes of him.
Not to ntion Wu Xiangming, even Su Zimo did not guarantee that he would be able to escape unscathed from that assassin if he did not have his spirit perception.
That was a terrifying assassin!
Through the various details of that attempt earlier, it was clear that the assassin’s true strength and physique was also extrely strong!
But of course, Su Zimo had his spirit perception and was not afraid of that assassin.
If he dared appear once more, Su Zimo would definitely kill him right away!
Soone like that was way too dangerous.
Perhaps he had sensed sothing, the assassin did not appear once more after escaping.
The girl in pink continued to navigate the cracks, protected by Wu Xiangming and the other two. Su Zimo stood at the back with burning eyes and quivering ears – nothing could elude his senses.
This ti round, Wu Xiangming and the other two were evidently much more careful with every step they took.
When they encountered corpses again, neither of them walked past just like that. Instead, they chose to stay by the girl in pink’s side and proceed in a triangular formation while stabbing the corpses a couple of tis.
Before long, they arrived at yet another fork.
Wu Xiangming turned and looked at Su Zimo who had kept silent the entire way. Feeling a sudden sense of frustration, he shouted, “Hey, that Su sothing! You had better stop following us! The sight of you makes irritated!”
To Wu Xiangming, Su Zimo was almost non-existent to a point where he did not even bother to rember the latter’s na.
“That’s right. That person hasn’t helped at all and is timid like a mouse. He doesn’t even dare to walk in front and just chooses to follow us!” Another Southern Mountains Sect cultivator grumbled.
Su Zimo did not reply and rely looked calm with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Through the journey, Su Zimo hardly made any moves. Most of the ti, he was just watching coldly from the sidelines.
The reason why he did not do anything was because there was no need to.
To Wu Xiangming, Su Zimo rely shouted for them to stop and fired two arrows.
However, only the girl in pink knew how important that warning and two arrows fired from Su Zimo was!
Given the thousand-faced assassin’s history, he would have killed everyone else except her if he didn’t have anything to be wary of!
Standing at the fork, Wu Xiangming looked at Su Zimo and questioned in disdain, “Su Zimo, tell . What are you good for, huh?”
“Brother Wu, please don’t make things difficult for him,” The girl in pink quickly said at the side.
“Humph!”
Wu Xiangming harrumphed coldly and turned back, walking to the right of the fork while mumbling incessantly, “Bloody disciple of Ethereal Peak? He’s nothing at all!”
Right at that mont, Su Zimo stood on the spot. As though he had sensed sothing, his eyes shone with a cold glint.
“You asked what I’m good for, huh?”
Su Zimo suddenly laughed and replied calmly, “Actually, my role is simple. At the very least, I can warn so people from stepping onto a path of no return.”
“Stop acting mysterious and spouting nonsense!”
Wu Xiangming turned around and scoffed coldly, “Speak your mind. There’s no need to beat around the bush.”
Su Zimo pointed to the path behind Wu Xiangming and replied indifferently, “If I were you, I wouldn’t continue down this path.”
“Hahahaha!”
Wu Xiangming burst out in laughter. “What a bloody joke! You really think soone like you, an early-stage Foundation Establishnt, is qualified to teach on what path I should take?”
“As you wish,” Su Zimo raised his brows.
Wu Xiangming kept his smile and replied coldly, “Su sothing, let give a piece of advice to a cowardly cultivator like you. Hurry and go ho to be a farr instead, lest you co out and embarrass yourself! You want to cultivate immortality and gain the Dao with those guts? Dream on!”
“Fufu, Senior Brother Wu is absolutely right,” Another Southern Mountains Sect cultivator joined in.
“Yan’er, let’s go! There’s no need to listen to this punk’s nonsense. With around, even if there are fiend cultivators, they will have to make way!”
Wu Xiangming remarked as he walked down the fork path with the other Southern Mountains Sect cultivator.
The girl in pink hesitated slightly and looked at Su Zimo before following them.
Yan Fei stared the girl in pink’s graceful figure with a burning gaze and followed suit.
Su Zimo rely watched the four of them head down the path without following.
Due to the presence of the ancient spirit restricting formation, none of them were able to use their storage bags. As such, they had taken all the items they needed before entering the place.
Su Zimo’s choice was his Cold Moon Saber and Sanguine Crystal Bow along with ten arrows.
He stood on the spot and removed the Sanguine Crystal Bow from his back. Holding three arrows in his hands, he muttered with a cold gaze, “In the end... this is still an unavoidable fight.”
Su Zimo’s hearing power was incredible.
Just a mont earlier, he vaguely heard footsteps from the deep end of the road – there were many people.
At the sa ti, there was a fresh scent of blood wafting from the road.
Those people had ill intentions!
That was the reason why Su Zimo persuaded Wu Xiangming and the rest to not head down that fork road. Unfortunately, they chose not to heed his advice.
