First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 58: Fierce Battle

"Slash!"

Shen Mo tightly gripped the Dragon Sparrow Sword in his hand, his face cold and stern in the face of countless undead.

"Pour!"

The long sword slightly raised, as sword light surged, the undead in his hand turned into blue smoke and dissipated.

Shen Mo had already mastered this set of Shangqing Sword Technique to a state of perfection.

Even in the face of the countless undead spirits sweeping in from all directions, there was no sign of decline.

Countless sword lights converged, turning the area around Shen Mo into an impenetrable net of swords.

No undead spirit could break through this net of swords and reach within a foot of Shen Mo.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can hold on!"

Gu Ming's eyes revealed a fierce light as he continued to wave the Soul Refining Banner, commanding the undead spirits to attack Shen Mo.

"This won't work!"

While Shen Mo was killing the incoming undead spirits, he was also calculating in his mind.

The power of the Soul Refining Banner could lock onto the blood sacrifice of the undead spirits. In the face of enemies, it could be summoned.

This Soul Refining Banner had at least sacrificed the blood of thousands of people, which meant that there were several thousand undead spirits imprisoned within it.

If he were to kill them one by one, he would exhaust himself completely and still not be able to kill them all.

More importantly, Shen Mo hadn't truly killed those undead spirits.

Although those undead spirits crumbled before his sword energy and turned into endless black mist, they would quickly reenter the Soul Refining Banner and be reborn.

As long as the person wielding the Soul Refining Banner could withstand the consumption of true essence and blood, it would be endless, like a perpetual motion machine.

Passive defense was useless.

He needed to take the initiative!

"Kill!"

In an instant, Shen Mo made up his mind, infused his spiritual energy into the Dragon Sparrow Sword, and shouted.

"Whoosh!"

The Dragon Sparrow Sword, empowered by Shen Mo's immense spiritual power, burst out with dazzling brilliance, finally releasing an unstoppable sword aura.

"Tear!"

The sword aura turned into a stream of light, and wherever it went, all the undead spirits were shattered and turned into black mist.

Breaking through the encirclement of the undead spirits, the sword aura directly aimed for Gu Ming, who was commanding the undead spirits.

When Gu Ming saw the sword aura approaching, a sense of danger immediately arose in his heart.

He could feel the terror of this attack. If he were struck by the sword aura, even his proud indestructible body would turn into pieces of flesh.

"Boom!"

He narrowly managed to block the attack with the Soul Refining Banner, holding it in front of him.

The sword aura didn't manage to shatter the Soul Refining Banner, only causing it to tremble slightly.

But this momentary pause made the undead spirits inside the banner, who were constantly tearing and charging, stop in their tracks.

It was a very short moment, just a fleeting instant.

But this instant was exactly what Shen Mo had been waiting for!

"Shangqing Sword Technique, slash!"

He took out a Qi Returning Pill from his bag and swallowed it, unleashing a powerful sword technique he had comprehended from the Shangqing Sword Technique.

"Boom rumble!"

Terrifying sword energy spread out from the Dragon Sparrow Sword, turning into countless sword auras.

Under the invasion of the sword energy, the numerous undead spirits inside and outside the hall were all completely destroyed.

"Poof!"

All the undead spirits shattered, and Gu Ming, as the caster, couldn't withstand the backlash force. Blood gushed out from his nose and mouth.

This backlash force instantly inflicted severe injuries on him, rendering him unable to control the Soul Refining Banner to harm others.

"We won!"

"The immortal master won!"

Outside, the martial artists who witnessed this scene shouted excitedly.

The dangerous situation they had faced earlier had truly made them sweat.

They were not only worried for Shen Mo, but also for themselves.

If Shen Mo couldn't defeat Gu Ming's evil magic and was killed by him, with Ming Wang's temperament, none of the righteous people present would be able to escape.

Fortunately, the immortal master still has something!

Unexpectedly, a killing move broke through the sky full of blood souls.

Despite being heavily injured, Gu Ming still refused to admit defeat. Struggling, he tried to get up from the ground.

"Move again, and you'll die."

Shen Mo's Longque Sword pressed against his throat.

The indifferent voice and the coldness at the tip of the sword made Gu Ming dare not resist anymore.

He could only let Shen Mo shatter his collarbone.

"The item is good. It's a pity it's an evil artifact."

After snatching the Soul Refining Banner from Gu Ming's hand, Shen Mo played with it for a while and muttered.

The power of this thing was somewhat unexpected to him.

Shen Mo originally thought that his strength far surpassed Gu Ming, and even if he had any trump cards, he could easily break through them.

Unexpectedly, the trump card he was hiding turned out to be the Soul Refining Banner that could summon countless undead.

If it weren't for Shen Mo's ultimate move with the Shangqing Sword Technique, he might have really been in trouble.

"Immortal master, spare me!"

Gu Ming was already too injured to fight.

Seeing that the situation was lost, Wei, the head of the Blood Robe Sect, and Zhou, the head of the Blood Robe Sect, knelt in front of Shen Mo without any dignity, begging for mercy.

"Pfft!"

Shen Mo glanced at the two of them and waved his long sword.

Immediately, two heads flew high, and blood surged in the hall.

Shen Mo still needed to go back and interrogate the identity of the evil cultivator. He didn't have time to chat with these two people, so he simply sent them on their way.

These two were both ruthless killers, and their deaths were not unjust.

"The main culprit has been eliminated, and the rest are just small fry."

"You can handle it yourselves. I'm going back to the Shen family."

Leaving these words behind, Shen Mo carried the immobilized Gu Ming and left the main hall of the Blood Robe Sect.

Once he left, those martial artists immediately started to kill the remaining sect members.

Afterwards, both inside and outside the main hall, they searched for the legendary secret martial arts and divine weapons that were plundered and hidden by the Blood Robe Sect.

They didn't disappoint these people's hard work and actually found many precious martial arts.

However, the ownership of these martial arts also caused a lot of disputes and killings. With the death of the demon leader, these righteous people immediately began a bloody internal struggle.

But all of this had nothing to do with Shen Mo.

He was too lazy to bother with these martial world matters.

"Sister."

In the attic of the Shen family, Gu Ming woke up and saw Gu Chao, who was detained in the same room as him.

"Ah."

Seeing Gu Ming in such a sorry state, Gu Chao sighed.

Although she didn't dare to deceive Shen Mo and told him the location of the Blood Robe Sect's headquarters, she still had a faint hope in her heart that her brother, who had reached the realm of martial arts legend, would have the means to fight back.

But now it seemed that this hope was laughable.

The two siblings looked at each other and fell into silence.

"Will he kill us?"

Gu Ming was originally a small character, far inferior in character to those martial world big shots. It was only by chance that he had enjoyed this period of glory.

He realized for the first time that his power was so weak in front of others, and he began to feel lost.

"If the immortal master didn't kill us on the spot, it must be because he has some use for us."

"Most likely, he wants to know about Senior Xuanzhi."

After a moment of silence, Gu Chao spoke, "When the time comes, if he asks, don't deceive him. Tell him everything you know about Senior Xuanzhi. Maybe the immortal master will spare our lives."

"Okay." Gu Ming nodded heavily. He also thought the same.

The matter of the blood sacrifice and the Soul Refining Banner had already been exposed. If Senior Xuanzhi found out about it, Gu Ming couldn't imagine how the other party would torture him.

So, it would be better to simply sell out the mastermind behind it and seek a way to survive.

"Tell me, how did Senior Xuanzhi find you? Tell me the whole story."

Soon, Shen Mo came over and saw that Gu Ming had woken up, so he asked.

"I dare not deceive the immortal master."

Gu Ming took a deep breath and told Shen Mo in detail about how he encountered Senior Xuanzhi and the various processes of how the other party coerced and tempted him.
