2522 Escape

After a momentary silence in the square of the inner courtyard, a huge commotion broke out.

The crowd was in an uproar!

This time round, it was not only foreign cultivators—even many disciples of the academy could not believe it!

“There’s definitely something wrong with the Heaven Ranking Prediction!”

When Tian Zhe and the others saw the ranking, they were relieved and smiled. “The true ranking will recover in a while.”

Zong Feiyu was a reincarnated Perfected Immortal. Although Su Zimo was strong, he was only a Grade 7 Heaven Immortal—how could he be above Zong Feiyu?

“That’s right.”

Ling Mu nodded as well. “Lord Song Ce is the number one Heaven Execution Guard. Even if he can’t defeat them, he can escape unscathed. How could anything have happened to him?”

Fairy Bai Hua pointed to the information of Su Zimo on the Heaven Ranking Prediction and sneered. “He only has two battle records and has never fought against top-tier Heaven Immortals. How can those battle records be convincing?”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow whispered, “Ruoxu, what’s going on?”

Yang Ruoxu pondered for a moment and whispered, “There’s only a single possibility for Zimo to be Rank 3 on the Heaven Ranking Prediction, above Zong Feiyu.”

“Zong Feiyu lost to Zimo in the Asura battlefield.”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow’s heart skipped a beat.

The reincarnated Perfected Immortal, Zong Feiyu, was defeated?

Right then, Su Zimo’s page on the Heaven Ranking Prediction changed.

“Name: Su Zimo.”

“Level: Grade 7 Heaven Immortal.”

“Identity: Inner sect disciple of Heaven and Earth Academy, successor of Astral Sect’s secret skill, successor of the Jade Pure Jade Manual and suspected successor of the Buddhist monasteries.”

Although the information above did not change much, there were a few additional pieces of information in the battle record column!

“Battle Record: In front of the Malevolent Blood Lake in the Asura battlefield, he was surrounded by Zong Feiyu, Lie Xuan, Song Ce, Yue Hai, Heaven Immortal Luo Yang and Xie Tianhuang who were all in the top ten of the Heaven Ranking Prediction at that time.”

“Su Zimo took the initiative and counterattacked. Under the encirclement of six people, he injured Song Ce and was suspected to have been forced into the Malevolent Blood Lake by Zong Feiyu.”

Many cultivators were shocked when they saw that!

Not only did Su Zimo dare to attack first against the encirclement of six top-tier Heaven Immortal experts, he even injured Song Ce—how domineering was that?!

Everyone continued reading hurriedly.

“Su Zimo did not die in the Malevolent Blood Lake. Instead, he broke through to become a Grade 7 Heaven Immortal. On the final day of the Asura battlefield, he guarded the Paramita Bridge alone and fought against the six experts on the top ten of the Heaven Ranking Prediction and hundreds of Heaven Immortals singlehandedly. Up till the end of the battle, nobody could cross the Paramita Bridge!”

There was even more information in that statement. This meant that Xie Qingcheng was the final winner of the battle for the seal!

“At the start of the battle, Su Zimo crippled Prince Yan and captured Lie Xuan alive before releasing the latter. Thereafter, he killed Song Ce instantly and severed 100,000 years of lifespan from Heaven Immortal Luo Yang. Next, he injured Xie Tianhuang severely before slaying Yue Hai and caused Zong Feiyu to flee in fear!”

Psst!

Hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the inner courtyard were shocked!

If not for the fact that it was clearly stated on the Heaven Ranking Prediction, everyone would not have believed it!

In the end, the battle for the seal turned out like this. Although every single sentence seemed simple, there was a lot of information behind it!

At the same time, it confirmed everyone’s previous guesses.

The number one Heaven Execution Guard, Song Ce, was indeed dead.

Furthermore, he was killed instantly by Su Zimo!

That was unimaginable for everyone!

“At the end of the battle, Lie Xuan had an epiphany and his combat strength increased once more. However, he was captured alive by Su Zimo within three moves.”

“…”

Everyone was already feeling numb and did not know what to say.

Of the six experts who were top ten on the Heaven Ranking Prediction, two of them were killed by Su Zimo, one was crippled and another was severely injured. Zong Feiyu and Lie Xuan were the only ones who escaped unscathed.

However, Lie Xuan was even captured alive by Su Zimo twice…

Earlier on, Fairy Bai Hua had just declared that Su Zimo’s battle records were way too underwhelming and he had no experience fighting against top Heaven Immortals.

But now, in this battle, not only did Su Zimo fight against top Heaven Immortals, he even overwhelmed six of them singlehandedly!

Among the battle records of the paragons on the Heaven Ranking Prediction, Yun Ting included, none of them were more shocking than this!

That was the end of Su Zimo’s battle records.

There were also a few additional paragraphs in his evaluation at the back.

“Evaluation: Previously, there were many criticisms when this lad was Rank 20 on the Heaven Ranking Prediction. Everyone felt that he had way too few battle records and tough battles to convincingly deserve that rank. However, this battle for the seal is enough to prove this lad’s strength. Any criticism against him is now self-defeated!”

Many academy disciples turned to look at Tian Zhe and the other foreign cultivators who were here to challenge Su Zimo and sneered.

Tian Zhe and the others had ugly expressions of fear.

The information on the Heaven Ranking Prediction made them shudder and sweat profusely!

Even a few simple pieces of information felt like a suffocating pressure was surging towards them!

“Su Zimo fought against six top Heaven Immortals with the cultivation of a Grade 7 Heaven Immortal and won in the end. It’s unprecedented.”

“In combat, the combat talent he displayed and his control of the situation were shocking. He attacked decisively and sharply, destroying the alliance of six people with a thunderous might before defeating them one after another.”

“The entire process was breathtaking and almost perfect. The six of us were lucky enough to witness this battle and felt that our trip was not wasted.”

The six Perfected Immortals of Divine Firmament Palace had an extremely high evaluation of Su Zimo. Many disciples of the academy felt their blood boil when they saw that sentence—it felt like they were sharing Su Zimo’s honor!

“There’s another detail worth mentioning in this battle. Su Zimo took the initiative domineeringly and captured Lie Xuan before letting the latter off while declaring that if he could suppress Lie Xuan once, he could do it again!”

“Later on, as expected, Lie Xuan was captured once more. Su Zimo kept his promise as well and let Lie Xuan off once more.”

“This lad is decisive to kill and his attacks are sharp. However, he has the magnanimity to accommodate others. It’s rare and his future accomplishments are limitless. Heaven and Earth Academy will definitely prosper with this person!”

His battle records and evaluation occupied the entire page. Although there were not many details of the battle explicitly, it left countless room for imagination.

Everyone was certain that this battle would definitely be recorded in history. Su Zimo would also be famous in the Divine Firmament and become one of the most popular Heaven Immortals in the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain who could be ranked alongside Yun Ting!

Right then, a commotion broke out in the crowd.

It was Tian Zhe, Ling Mu, Fairy Bai Hua and the other foreign cultivators who wanted to leave this place but were stopped by many disciples of the academy.

“Everyone, where are you guys going in such a hurry?”

“Stay here for a few more days. Otherwise, people might accuse our Heaven and Earth Academy of being rude to our esteemed guests.”

Hundreds of thousands of disciples of the academy surrounded the place in an impenetrable manner.

Tian Zhe and the others looked at the surrounding crowd and the pressure on them intensified. They said with flustered expressions, “I-I won’t stay any longer. I still have something on, so I’ll take my leave first!”

“That’s right!”

Ling Mu added hurriedly, “Something happened to Lord Song Ce. I’ve got to go back and make arrangements for his funeral…”

Yan Bingying smiled gently. “Fellow Daoists, weren’t you guys waiting for Senior Brother Su to return to challenge him?”

“N-N-No…”

Tian Zhe and the others shuddered in fear and waved it off hurriedly.

More than a thousand foreign cultivators shook their heads in fear as well.

Tian Zhe and the others were truly afraid!

Who knew if they would be able to return alive after Su Zimo returned?

If even Song Ce was destroyed in a single move, who among them could defend against him?

Yan Bingying waved it off with a mocking expression.

Everyone from the academy opened up a path. Accompanied by a series of laughter, Tian Zhe and the others almost fled like birds and beasts.
