Chapter 859: Hanging by a Thread

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

After Yin Ting injured Su Mo with his saber, he tried to capture Su Mo.

His Dark Force surged to form a gigantic hand that reached out to grab Su Mo.

The gigantic Dark Force hand was extremely powerful. Its power rippled like a roaring river as it charged toward Su Mo.

Su Mo turned pale upon seeing this. He used his Mind to conjure three Phantom Avatars and they appeared with a sudden flash beside him.

The three Phantom Avatars immediately charged toward the Dark Force hand before self-destructing.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three loud explosions rang out and the massive explosions caused a huge blast wave that swept across the surroundings.

Yin TIng’s Dark Force hand also exploded, which only served to add to the power of the massive explosion.

Rumble!

All within a 500-kilometer radius collapsed and was completely destroyed. It resembled a chaotic world.

Yin Ting and his group were temporarily held off. They could not move forward but quickly retreated, not daring to face the massive power of the blast head-on.

Swoosh!

Su Mo moved like lightning and made his escape as fast as he could.

After the blast waves subsided, Su Mo had already disappeared.

“Damn, he managed to slip through our fingers again!” Elder Qi’s face darkened.

Yin Ting scoffed and said, “Eider Qi, don’t worry. This man would not be able to escape from my clutches!”

Then, he immediately tracked down traces of Su Mo’s aura and started to pursue Su Mo.

Su Mo flew as fast as he could in the void, his heart burning with anger.

They had come after him again and again; this was enough to anger any good-natured person.

“Once I attain the Martial King Realm, all of you will die at my hands!” Su Mo swore to himself.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The void continued to be torn apart and Su Mo flew so fast that he turned into a stream of multi-colored light. He could cover a distance of 500 kilometers in an instant.

However, due to his relatively lower cultivation, Yin Ting and the rest of his group moved much faster than Su Mo.

In a few seconds, they had managed to catch up.

“Motherfu*ker!” Su Mo cursed. An idea quickly came to him and he stopped.

It would be very hard to escape if they continued to follow in such close pursuit. Fortunately, he still had a valuable hostage, Lin Langtian.

Swoosh!

Su Mo then used his Mind to release Lin Langtian from the Divine Map and held him hostage.

“Let me go if you don’t want him to die!” Su Mo said loudly.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Yin Ting and his group stopped within 5 kilometers from Su Mo.

“Ba**tard!” Elder Qi was incensed when he saw Su Mo holding Lin Langtian hostage.

“Let me go and I’ll guarantee his safe return!” Su Mo said coldly.

Yin Ting’s expression did not change but there was a taunting glint in his eyes as he said, “I’ve never been threatened by anyone before. This has never happened in the past, and will also not happen in the future!”

He immediately attacked as soon as he finished speaking. He waved his long saber and a dazzling saber radiance burst forth.

The powerful and sharp saber Qi streaked toward Su Mo.

Yin Ting continued to attack Su Mo, completely disregarding Lin Langtian’s safety.

“Yin Ting, you ba**tard!” Lin Langtian roared fearfully when he saw that Yin Ting had attacked.

Elder Qi and the other three watched on with their hearts in their mouths. However, they did not move to stop Yin Ting for he was the disciple of Shady Hall’s hall master. Even if he killed Lan Lingtian, he would not face any repercussions!

“This..!” Su Mo was also shocked.

He had not expected Yin Ting to be so ruthless that he refused to be held ransom by anything.

Su Mohastily moved to dodge as the saber radiance rapidly approached him and barely managed to evade the blow.

Then, he immediately sent Lin Langtian back into the Divine Map and continued to flee.

“Stop right there!” Yin Ting followed in close pursuit as he attacked once again, sending another powerful saber Qi toward Su Mo.

Boom!

The Earthly Shield shielded Su Mo from the saber Qi, but the terrifying power from the saber Qi caused blood to spurt from his mouth.

Su Mo immediately continued to flee for he had sustained heavy internal injuries.

Despite his mighty physical strength, he could not withstand Yin Ting’s attacks.

Yin Ting followed in close pursuit and continued to attack Su Mo, constantly sending out rays of saber radiance. Su Mo dodged whatever he could, and blocked whatever he could not avoid.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Explosions rang across the air. Each time Su Mo took a blow, he coughed up fresh blood. His injuries were getting more serious.

Su Mo continued to flee while Yin Ting followed in close pursuit.

Each time Yin Ting drew closer to him, Su Mo immediately used his Phantom Avatars that would then self-destruct.

Each time the three Phantom Avatars self-destructed simultaneously, it created a terrifying explosion that would hold Yin Ting off for a moment. Su Mo deployed this tactic to buy himself some time.

“Damn it!”

After this happened a few times, Yin Ting’s blood started to boil. How could a tiny Su Mo be so hard to deal with?

“Die!” Yin Ting roared.

He sped up to bridge the gap between himself and Su Mo, then slashed out dozens of times at Su Mo.

Saber radiance tore the skies apart as they rained down viciously, all containing a massive amount of killing power.

This mighty attack completely enveloped Su Mo within, leaving him no room to escape.

Yin Ting had noticed that Su Mo was seriously injured and would not be able to hold out for long.

Su Mo would be shredded to pieces if he continued a few more rounds of attacks.

“Explode!” Su Mo called upon his Phantom Avatars once again. They quickly self-destructed, creating a massive explosion.

As they exploded, they caused all of Yin Ting’s attacks to explode along with it. The multiple explosions created powerful blast waves that swept the surrounding areas.

“How does he have such dense Dark Force?” Yin Ting stopped in his tracks, his face pale.

Su Mo’s Phantom Avatars were formed entirely from Dark Force and each Phantom Avatar was extremely powerful. This meant that very dense Dark Force was required for the formation of each Phantom Avatar.

Su Mo never seemed to run out of Dark Force as he continually used them to create self-destructing Phantom Avatars. Amazingly, his Dark Force had not be exhausted yet!

Yin Ting could not fathom how a True Darkness Realm martial artist’s Dark Force could be so abundant!

A while later, Yin Ting resumed his pursuit after the blast wave faded.

Su Mo continued to flee, but his face had already turned pale. His injuries were very serious and he felt himself growing weaker.

His sense of danger increased as he saw Yin Ting on his tail once again.

He was really in trouble this time. However, he still had two hidden cards – the Billion Demonic Sword and the Three Secret Techniques.

The only catch was that he had to weigh the consequences carefully before he used them.

The Demonic Sword was a dangerous weapon that he would not use unless it was absolutely critical. As for the Three Secret Techniques, he was afraid that his essence, qi, and spirit would be completely depleted if he extracted them again since he had not fully recovered yet.

Once his essence, qi, and spirit were depleted, it would be significantly detrimental to his vitality, or worse, he could lose his life.

“Su Mo, this time you will surely die!” Yin Ting had finally caught up again.

He was going to deploy his most powerful move to kill Su Mo.

He had wanted to capture Su Mo alive, but now he had lost the patience to do so.

“Shade-devil Sky Cut!”
