Song Zhong was simply too fast.
If those cultivators had been farther away from him, it would have been one thing. But once he closed in on them, even they found it difficult to block a single slash from him. Even if they barely managed to block one slash, Song Zhong's second and third slashes would soon follow.
As for those cultivators blanketing the area with spells?
He had only Lord of Cherished Flowers as a companion. If those cultivators wanted to blanket the area with spells, then let them. They had greater numbers, and under such spell coverage, they were the ones at a greater disadvantage.
As streaks of silver light flashed, cultivator after cultivator died in succession!
Watching the cultivators die one after another, Silverlight Immortal Emperor repeatedly shouted, "Killing either one of them will do! That female cultivator is weaker—kill the woman first!"
As his voice fell, Lord Fengming appeared before Lord of Cherished Flowers. At the same time, a cyan banner fully three zhang tall appeared in her hand.
In an instant, the wind howled wildly, a tempest erupted, and heaven and earth changed color.
At that moment, everything in this space—wild grass, towering trees, even distant mountains—was swept up into the air.
The raging winds gathered into the shape of a tornado hurricane and swept toward Lord of Cherished Flowers.
Lord of Cherished Flowers fiercely cracked the whip in her hand. The whip, which had appeared no thicker than a thread, rapidly grew in that instant, forming a wooden wall before her.
The next moment, a thunderous boom rang out.
The tornado hurricane, seeming capable of grinding the entire world to pieces, collided with the wooden wall. Terrifying shockwaves immediately burst forth and crashed in every direction.
Wherever the shockwaves passed, countless uprooted trees and toppled mountains were instantly blasted into powder.
Suddenly, a rose shot out from within the wooden wall. In an instant, it wrapped itself around the banner's pole. The rose then grew wildly, and in less than the time of a breath, it wrapped the banner up like a zongzi.
Lord Fengming's expression instantly turned ugly. What tremendous power!
Outside, she could have killed this insignificant Lord of Cherished Flowers with a flick of her finger. She was also confident that when she had been in the Supreme Realm, her strength had absolutely surpassed Lord of Cherished Flowers's. Yet now, she was being suppressed by Lord of Cherished Flowers.
Because Death-Sending Immortal Emperor, who shared his strength equally with Lord of Cherished Flowers, was stronger—far stronger than Silverlight Immortal Emperor!
Damn it!
How could there be such a powerful early-stage Immortal Emperor Realm cultivator!
Just as her banner and Lord of Cherished Flowers's roses became entangled, the eyes of the few cultivators around them who had yet to be slain by Song Zhong suddenly gleamed!
An opportunity!
They could not kill Death-Sending Immortal Emperor, but if they killed this female cultivator, Death-Sending Immortal Emperor would die as well!
In an instant, spell after spell shot forth, all raining down upon Lord of Cherished Flowers. As for whether Lord Fengming beside her would be caught in the blast?
They did not care in the slightest!
She was not a companion who had entered with them. It would be even better if Lord Fengming were blasted to death as well.
Yet at the instant those spells descended, Lord of Cherished Flowers's Rose Whip, which had been wrapped around Lord Fengming, abruptly withdrew. At the same time, it swiftly gathered above her own head.
In an instant, it condensed into the shape of a massive seed, wrapping her tightly within. Flowers bloomed all around the seed, their petals rapidly enlarging to shield it from above.
Compared to her offensive capabilities, her defensive abilities were stronger!
At the same time, Lord Fengming's banner rapidly gathered around her, completely wrapping her within. She wanted to kill this female cultivator, but there was one prerequisite: she herself could not die or suffer grave injuries.
Spell after spell rained down madly. For a time, her banner shook violently, and faint, tiny cracks even appeared upon its surface.
But before long, the descending spells began to lessen.
In but a few moments, Song Zhong caught up to those remaining cultivators once more. The long blade in his hand swept down. As the silver blade flashed repeatedly, two more cultivators were slain by him, and their companions died along with them.
These cultivators had wanted to kill Lord of Cherished Flowers first. Unfortunately, Lord of Cherished Flowers possessed extremely powerful defenses. Like an enormous Tortoise Shell, she wrapped herself layer upon layer in all manner of plants.
For the moment, those cultivators could do nothing to Lord of Cherished Flowers, but Song Zhong was killing them ever faster.
Cultivator after cultivator died in unbroken succession.
In the blink of an eye, only Silverlight Immortal Emperor and Lord Fengming remained in this space apart from Song Zhong and Lord of Cherished Flowers.
"Do you know why I saved you for last?" Song Zhong did not rush to kill Silverlight Immortal Emperor. As he approached him step by step, he spoke coldly, "Because I want you to see once more how I succeed.
"You like playing tricks, don't you? Spreading news of me everywhere.
"But what use is that?
"Everything ultimately depends on strength.
"This time, you don't have a Substitute Death Talisman on you anymore, do you?"
As Silverlight Immortal Emperor watched the approaching figure, despite being a top Heavenly Prodigy, panic rose within him uncontrollably. He did not know when it had begun, but he had started to fear Death-Sending Immortal Emperor.
Though he was clearly still alive and had not even suffered many injuries, not a trace of fighting spirit remained in his heart.
