The Kui Bull appeared, Heaven and Earth Dharma Form

"If it wasn't his bloodline, then he must have consumed a spirit essence!"

He murmured, his breathing growing rapid.

Boom!

The Kui Bull moved first.

It stood between heaven and earth, taking the enormous palm descending from the sky head-on.

Moo!

A roar rang out.

Blood like lightning burst from the Kui Bull phantom.

An arrow had already pierced its body.

As for the old woman who had released the Ghost Qi earlier, she had already vanished.

She had fled.

The instant she saw the Kui Bull's blood essence, she had withdrawn her Ghost Qi.

By now, she was standing beside Su Rou.

"Miss, my Ghost Qi fears lightning most. If they clash, I'll surely die."

The old woman spoke to Su Rou, whose expression was icy.

"We should leave. If we insist on killing him now, our losses will be even worse."

A handsome man carried a man whose face was covered in blood on his back.

The handsome man was the one who had just fired a sword, while the blood-covered man was the one whose eyes Lin Tian had directly gouged out.

"Miss, he's summoned the Kui Bull Dharma Idol. We can't force a kill now."

A woman at the foot of the mountain spoke.

"Retreat!"

The man who had summoned the Bi Fang Dharma Idol made his decision at the same time.

"Where do you think you're retreating to?"

An icy voice suddenly rang out.

Lightning blazed all over Lin Tian as he charged straight at him, sword in his right hand.

"Damn it!"

The man was horrified and instantly commanded the Bi Fang Dharma Idol to spew roaring flames at Lin Tian.

Rumble!

Thunder exploded from Lin Tian's body.

The Kui Bull phantom appeared behind Lin Tian, blazing with golden light and lightning.

In an instant, the lightning formed an immortal disc that shielded Lin Tian's head.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Flames and lightning intertwined.

They swept out in every direction, instantly burning away the surrounding trees.

"So this is the strength of the Extreme Realm Zhenwu!"

Qi Liancheng, who was fighting Li Xin, felt his pupils contract. Without further hesitation, he hurriedly fled.

Lin Tian thrust his sword at the man before him and shouted to Ziwei:

"If you really have nothing to do, go keep Qi Liancheng tied down!"

Lin Tian's shout snapped Ziwei out of his stunned daze.

"All right, I'll go right now!"

She hurriedly answered, steering the fire disc beneath her feet after Qi Liancheng.

As the Kui Bull's lightning erupted, the mountainside where Su Rou and the others stood instantly crumbled into rubble.

The mountain collapsed, a scene like the end of the world.

The divine light of the sun and moon on the Kui Bull's body dispersed the darkness for several thousand meters around.

Like a great sun rampaging about, it illuminated the entire world.

Su Rou and the others watched in horror.

Then, without further hesitation, they fled.

"Your own people abandoned you."

Lin Tian spoke indifferently to the man before him.

Sword light slashed down alongside lightning.

The lightning loomed like a mountain, and the sword's radiance tore through the sky.

"No, don't kill me!"

The man roared, flames erupting all over his body.

Whoosh!

The blade descended, slicing through everything like rotten wood and withered weeds.

Boom!

It cleaved him straight open from top to bottom.

Screech!

A shrill, anguished Bi Fang cry rang out.

The instant the man died, the Bi Fang phantom vanished.

Lin Tian glanced overhead. The Kui Bull's golden light still blazed brilliantly.

The appearance of the Kui Bull phantom.

It consumed Lin Tian's Spiritual Qi and blood Qi every moment.

If he dispersed it, Lin Tian would be even more exhausted than when he had unleashed One Sword to the Ends of the Earth.

Moreover, he would be unable to summon it again for a short while.

Lin Tian wiped the blood from his face.

He knew that if he withdrew the Kui Bull phantom now.

Those who had fled would return to surround and kill him.

While maintaining the Kui Bull Dharma Idol.

Lin Tian collected the dead man's spatial ring.

When Qi Liancheng had left earlier, he had already withdrawn the pink gas he had summoned.

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and looked over.

Yu Xiu was already dead, while the closed-eyed swordsman Li Xin knelt on one knee.

Blood kept dripping from his chin.

"You're going to die."

Lin Tian came to Li Xin's side and collected Yu Xiu's spear and spatial ring.

"This is mine."

Li Xin's breath was feeble as he removed his spatial ring and handed it to Lin Tian.

"My sword... could you leave it with me? Inside this spatial ring... are my insights into Sword Intent. They aren't much, really. If you don't want them, just give them to someone."

Lin Tian was somewhat surprised, but he still accepted the spatial ring from him.

"Zhenwu... who exactly are you?"

Li Xin's face was a bloody mess, but he still struggled to look at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian fell silent briefly. With a thought, his mask vanished in an instant, then quickly reappeared.

Li Xin visibly froze, first stunned, then puzzled, before finally becoming accepting.

"How could there be two Zhenwus... forget it, I won't think about it. This mortal world is no fun. Cough, cough."

He gave a bitter laugh and coughed up blood.

"I've really... disgraced sword cultivators."

"If I'd stayed away from women, this red gas wouldn't have had any effect on me..."

As Li Xin spoke, his voice grew softer and softer, until he finally fell to the ground.

Lin Tian remained silent and walked away.

After a few steps, Lin Tian stopped.

His sword blossomed into thrusts, instantly carving a deep pit in the ground.

He tossed Li Xin and his sword into the pit.

Then he covered them with earth.

Several li away.

Su Rou and the others gazed from afar at the Kui Bull Dharma Idol, its entire body radiating dazzling golden light.

"Let's go."

Su Rou spoke coldly.

The others were puzzled.

"Miss Su Rou, if we don't kill this Extreme Realm cultivator, he'll become a formidable enemy. Once he withdraws the Kui Bull Dharma Idol, he'll enter a weakened state."

The man carrying a bow and arrows made a throat-slitting gesture.

"How stupid."

Su Rou glanced at him and continued:

"Do you think he'll still be there if we go over now?"

The others froze, then understood after thinking it over carefully.

"To think we encountered such a heaven's chosen today. What a pity we couldn't kill him."

"An Extreme Realm cultivator. I'd always wanted to fight an Extreme Realm heaven's chosen, but after seeing one today, my Dao heart nearly suffered damage."

"The previous Extreme Realm Zhenwu was far too fierce. This generation seems vicious too."

The old woman holding the ghost banner spoke with a frown.

"The Kui Bull Dharma Idol really does have something to do with the Extreme Realm Zhenwu."

The man whose eyes Lin Tian had stabbed out spoke viciously.

"When the Kui Bull suddenly appeared in the Sword Capital that day, Li Shangjue, fourth on the Azure Sword Ranking, wounded it. Many people wanted to seize its blood essence, but Li Shangjue stopped them."

"Later, an inner disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect saw that it was the Extreme Realm Zhenwu who had seized those few drops of Kui Bull blood essence."

The man carrying a bow and arrows frowned and said:

"A few drops of Kui Bull blood essence could form a Dharma Idol?"

Everyone fell silent.

"With Zhenwu this strong, things will be difficult later."

The old woman spoke hoarsely.

Dressed entirely in pink, Su Rou exuded an indescribably bewitching charm.

Her dark hair hung loose, strikingly beautiful, and her phoenix eyes shimmered.

She frowned, many things flickering through her eyes.

"What rotten luck."

Su Rou's red lips parted slightly. She had never expected today to turn out like this.

Originally, there had been ten of them.

Two had fallen while attempting to assassinate her eldest sister Su Zheshan and Su Nan.

Today, eight of them had come to kill a single Zhenwu.

Yet Wenren Zhen alone had cut straight through them.

Four of the eight had died.

Then Su Rou walked off to one side, cursing under her breath.

"Miss, what are we going to do now?"

The man carrying a bow and arrows asked.

"Find Su Ming."

Su Rou was shocked, exchanging bewildered looks.

"Join forces with him and kill Su Zheshan and that Zhenwu first."

"If I tell them what happened today, I don't think he'll refuse."

A trace of a smile appeared on Su Rou's exquisitely beautiful face.

"I really don't understand. This Zhenwu clearly came here to save Li Xin and the others."

The old woman frowned.

"But aren't Zhenwu and Qi Liancheng Su Zheshan's people? Could there be disagreements within Su Zheshan's faction?"

The others also felt their heads ache.

Earlier, Qi Liancheng had approached them.

He had more or less seemed to want to join forces.

But now that Zhenwu had appeared, everything had been thrown into disarray.
