Chapter 2005: Settled Dust
Translator: Legge
The bloodlines of the bald monk and the iron tower man surged and the sound of a tsunami could be heard as their power of blood qi was pushed to its limits.
An ancient bell appeared behind the bald monk. It shone with a golden light and was filled with runes that emanated a terrifying aura.
A towering mountain appeared behind the iron tower man, seemingly able to suppress all living beings with a shocking might!
Bloodline phenomenon!
Both the bald monk and the iron tower man had robust blood qi and shocking physiques. They were strong in melee combat and had cultivated Bloodline phenomenons.
However, the two of them held back the entire time.
It was only after Su Zimo killed the middle-aged Daoist that the two of them realized that they might be killed by him if they continued holding back!
“Su Zimo, you’re already at the end of the road. Don’t force yourself,”
The bald monk was also a monster incarnate and could naturally tell Su Zimo’s strength.
If it was anyone else, they would not hold back during a battle of that level with Yun Ting—they must have used up all their trump cards.
“Don’t waste your breath on him. Let’s kill him first lest anything else happens,”
The iron tower man said in a deep voice.
“Hahahaha!”
Su Zimo reared his head in laughter, as though he had heard the funniest thing in the world.
“The two of you think you can kill me?”
Su Zimo glared at the two of them with a disdainful expression and said slowly, “I can’t kill Yun Ting, but you think I can’t kill you guys?”
The reason why he did not use the bloodline of his Green Lotus True Body the entire time was because he was worried that it would be exposed.
That was because he was not confident that he could keep Yun Ting in the Emperor’s Tomb.
In reality, as Su Zimo had expected, Yun Ting indeed had a trump card. There were even other experts guarding him and he was taken away from the Emperor’s Tomb.
However, it was different for the bald monk and the iron tower man.
Although they were from the four immortal sects, their statuses were worlds apart compared to Yun Ting!
Even Grade 9 Black Immortals and rare paragons were merely servants in the four immortal sects.
The did not have Dharmic treasures like the Ice Soul Silver Armor nor any experts leaving behind trump cards to protect them.
The moment Su Zimo said that, his killing intent was already triggered!
When the bald monk and the iron tower man saw how calm Su Zimo was and how fearless he seemed, they felt uneasy.
However, now that the two of them had already released their Bloodline phenomenons, they were in a difficult position.
Furthermore, the jade talisman was right before them.
Were the two of them going to give up the jade talisman without fighting?
At that thought, the two of them exchanged glances and made the same decision.
They were going to attack with all their might without holding back!
As long as they could kill Su Zimo, Tang Ziyi would not be a threat.
“Kill!”
The bald monk and iron tower man roared at the same time and released their Bloodline phenomenons, charging towards Su Zimo with sharp gazes and killing intent.
“Bloodline phenomenon?”
Su Zimo murmured softly with an indifferent expression. He merely glanced casually at the Bloodline phenomenon behind the bald monk and the iron tower man before retracting his gaze.
Splash!
The sound of a tsunami echoed from Su Zimo’s body as well. It was even stronger than the two of them and was deafening!
It was as though a galaxy had poured down from the nine heavens and smashed onto the ground with a deafening bang.
Immediately after, a jade green lotus grew behind Su Zimo. The lotus leaves were wide and its stem was upright. The flower bud at the top trembled slightly and could blossom at any moment.
“This is…”
The eyes of the bald monk and the iron tower man widened as they looked up at the green lotus in shock.
Both of them felt an unimaginable pressure.
Against the green lotus, the two of them felt incomparably tiny, as though they could not even compare to a single lotus leaf on the green lotus.
The green lotus soared into the skies and was filled with a chaotic aura. The flower bud lowered its head slightly, as though it was looking down at them!
The Bloodline phenomenons behind the two of them began to sway and show signs of dissipating.
“T-That seems to be the Creation Green Lotus…”
The bald monk’s voice trembled with a shocked expression.
Tang Ziyi was shocked as well.
Although she had seen Su Zimo conjure the green lotus, she did not recognize its origin.
The Creation Green Lotus was the only one in the world!
Even Immortal Kings would not let go of such an utmost treasure.
Right then, the flower bud on the green lotus suddenly blossomed and spilled endless light. The green lotus swayed gently, seemingly excited.

The Creation Green Lotus did not sway much and was almost imperceptible.
However, that slight movement caused the two Bloodline phenomenons behind the bald monk and the iron tower man to collapse, turning into endless blood qi that dissipated into the world.
The two of them shuddered as though they were struck by lightning and blood oozed from the corners of their mouths.
“Escape!”
Without hesitation, the two of them turned and fled.
Su Zimo sneered and his Green Lotus phenomenon shone brightly. Strange lights spread like sharp swords and pierced the two of them instantly!
Thump!
The two of them fell to the ground and were riddled with holes as blood gushed out, dying on the spot.
After doing that, Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief.
With their deaths, there was no chance of the Green Lotus True Body being exposed.
The battle was over and the dust had settled. Su Zimo relaxed and actually felt a little dizzy. His body swayed slightly and the Green Lotus phenomenon could not hold on either and dissipated rapidly.
He was almost completely exhausted from the battle!
If not for the fact that the Green Lotus True Body had shocking regeneration capabilities, he would have collapsed a long time ago.
“It’s over?”
Tang Ziyi looked at the messy battlefield in disbelief.
At this point of the battle, apart from the two of them, there was no one else alive in the main hall, leaving only corpses on the ground.
Tang Ziyi took out a few immortal herbs and consumed them, recovering her injuries and stamina slowly.
Given her physique and bloodline, she would be able to recover her mobility quickly as long as she had time to rest and recuperate.
“Hurry and get that jade talisman and tidy up the battlefield. We’ll leave this place before anything else happens,”
Tang Ziyi urged.
For some reason, she had an indescribable feeling. It was like a whim or an assassin’s sixth sense, as though something bad was about to happen.
Su Zimo nodded and took a deep breath. Leaping up, he grabbed the jade talisman in his palm.
There were no other changes throughout the entire process.
Su Zimo stared at the jade talisman for a moment and scanned it carefully with his spirit consciousness, but he could not find anything.
“What’s the secret behind this jade talisman that attracted so many sects, factions and paragons to fight for it?”
Su Zimo asked with a frown.
“I don’t know either,”
Tang Ziyi said, “I reckon that apart from Yun Ting and a few other cultivators who entered the Emperor’s Tomb, most of them don’t know the secret of the jade talisman.”
The only thing that could be certain was that this jade talisman was related to the Immortal Emperor buried in the Emperor’s Tomb!
