ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 8 - Season 23 Episode 8

The hearts of the academy elders skipped a beat and they looked nervous.

Prince Yuan Zuo could not suppress the excitement in his heart and even stood up instinctively. He clenched his fists and glared at the scene in the depths of the sea with a menacing and excited expression, as though he could see Su Zimo die.

Actually, Tie Han’s attack this time round was not within the plans of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect.

However, if he could make use of this opportunity to kill Su Zimo, it would save him a lot of trouble.

Furthermore, Tie Han could keep Su Zimo’s storage bag and no longer have to share the treasures with Flying Immortal Sect.

“This is bad!”

Xie Qingcheng exclaimed softly.

As a prince of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom, he had also participated in the elimination round of the Nine Heavens back when he was an Earth Immortal.

His understanding of the Nine Heavens far surpassed others.

In that trench of the deep sea, the chill was bone-chilling and one’s vision, spirit consciousness, five senses and everything else were reduced to their limits and blurred.

Right now, Su Zimo was facing Mercury Ice’s spirit consciousness head-on and had no time to be distracted—there was no way he could sense the killing intent behind him.

By the time he reacted, Tie Han’s killing move was most likely already on him!

Right in front of everyone, two figures converged rapidly under the shadow of the gigantic Frost Divine Turtle.

Indeed, Tie Han attacked and slashed down at Su Zimo’s head like a saber!

At that moment, Tie Han’s palm made use of the cold air around the deep sea to condense a corporeal saber that slashed down!

“That lad is dead!”

Perfected Immortal Xie Ling shook his head gently and murmured with a regretful expression.

Tie Han’s attack was even more terrifying than everyone had imagined!

To begin with, Tie Han’s combat strength could be ranked in the top ten.

And now, in the depths of the sea, his combat strength was not weakened because of Mercury Ice. Instead, it was strengthened!

He made use of his surroundings to release an even more terrifying killing power!

Even Yun Ting frowned slightly when he saw Tie Han attack this time round.

If he was in Su Zimo’s position, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed against such an attack.

Right then, a deep growl burst forth from the trench in the depths of the sea!

“Scram!”

The moment Su Zimo conjured the Spirit Turtle Shield, he spun around and extended his palm, grabbing the incoming saber behind him!

If it was anyone else, they would definitely not be able to detect Tie Han’s attack without the help of their five senses and spirit consciousness.

However, Su Zimo cultivated the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness and had an extremely sharp sense of danger.

The cicada senses autumn coming before the wind even starts to blow!

The moment Tie Han attacked, Su Zimo had already sensed danger!

However, he could not dodge.

That was because the timing of Tie Han’s attack was way too precise. The moment the Frost Divine Turtle collided with his Spirit Turtle Shield, this was his weakest moment.

Su Zimo shuddered and did not have time to release any divine powers or secret skills. He could only rely on the power of his body to turn back and grab the saber!

At the same time, he recognized Tie Han.

“Die!”

Tie Han said coldly.

Piak!

When the saber struck Su Zimo’s palm, the blade sank in for a moment before stopping. The sound of metal clashing could be heard as though it had struck steel!

Tie Han’s heart skipped a beat.

When Su Zimo was at his weakest, his slash could not slice him into two. In fact, Su Zimo’s palm could not even be severed!

At the same time, the moment their saber and palm collided…

Tie Han felt a vibration and a terrifying twisting power coming from the saber.

The next moment, the saber condensed from cold qi shattered!

Although Tie Han’s expression was still cold as ice, he was alarmed internally.

Su Zimo was much more troublesome to deal with than he had imagined!

At that moment, Tie Han revealed his decisive nature as well. His saber was shattered and he did not engage Su Zimo at all. Retreating, he disappeared into the dark ocean and fled far away.

Su Zimo stood on the spot and took a deep breath without chasing.

At that moment, his bloodline was frozen.

Although he managed to defend against the impact of the Frost Divine Turtle, his distraction caused a large amount of cold qi to invade his meridians and organs!

Su Zimo’s body trembled slightly.

If he wanted to chase after Tie Han, he would have to release his blood qi.

However, that would risk him exposing his Green Lotus True Body and it would not be worth it.

The two of them would definitely meet again later on.

At that time, he would settle this debt!

…

The fight between the two of them happened in an instant.

Although they had only met for a brief moment, the danger involved was shuddering!

It was only then that the cultivators watching in the square heaved a sigh of relief.

“Su Zimo is so strong!”

“While receiving that gigantic Divine Turtle head-on, he even diverted his attention to take on Tie Han’s full-powered attack barehanded!”

“That’s right. Although his palm was injured, that small injury is nothing to him.”

“In my opinion, there’s a high chance that Su Zimo’s combat strength can be ranked in the top ten!”

After a momentary silence, a commotion broke out in the crowd.

This time round, even Perfected Immortal Xie Ling was shocked.

Initially, he had expected that Su Zimo would not only be unable to defend against Mercury Ice’s attack, but also Tie Han’s attack.

To think that Su Zimo would be able to defend against the impact of the two terrifying powers!

…

Xie Qingcheng, Yun Ting, the academy elders and the others were relieved as well.

The academy elders exchanged glances and smiled bitterly.

As bystanders, they seemed even more nervous than the participant inside.

Deep in the sea.

Su Zimo did not let the spirit consciousness in Mercury Ice launch a second attack. He went forward and grabbed it, stuffing it into his consciousness.

The Hell Suppression Tripod descended instantly when it sensed Mercury Ice’s aura.

Before Mercury Ice could emit any coldness, it was devoured by the Hell Suppression Tripod and refined.

On the other side of the Hell Suppression Tripod, the patterns of the Black Tortoise Sacred Soul shone faintly!

In a flash, Su Zimo headed towards the teleportation formation above him as well.

He took out his badge and took a look.

After this change, his ranking had fallen once more and he was now in the 100,000 region.

Before long.

Su Zimo arrived at the teleportation formation and ascended to Level 3 without stopping.

After entering Level 3, Su Zimo felt a murderous aura and the air was filled with a faint blood stench.

It was clear that the cultivators who arrived earlier encountered immense obstacles in this space!

A robust sound of metal clashing could be heard from midair!

Xie Qingcheng said, “Level 3 is extremely cruel and most of the Earth Immortals will be eliminated here. There’s no trick to clearing it, one can only take everything head-on.”

“This place is filled with the sharpness of blades and danger lurks at every corner. It’s extremely treacherous!”

The cultivators spectating could see everything clearly.

Although Feng Yin and Tai Hua were at the front, they had become much more cautious in Level 3.

Many times, the surroundings may seem calm without danger.

However, at the next moment, a sword light could appear to pierce a cultivator’s glabella!

Killing intent could descend at any moment from anywhere in the surroundings; above, by the side and even below…
