Chapter 497

Su Ming was covered in blood, his skin splitting open, and the ground beneath his feet gradually caved in.

Yet at this moment, he actually let out a proud, cold laugh.

"Zhang Tang, you are only the first..."

"I will bury the Zhang family with my own hands and slaughter every single one of them!"

He said these words specifically to divert everyone's attention, so they would not notice his spiritual energy recovering.

High up in the firmament, those few figures of high standing slowly shook their heads.

"I see this boy has already gone mad."

"To dare spout such nonsense while completely suppressed by our Five-Suspension Soul-Locking Array!"

"Ridiculous, truly ridiculous!" someone looked up and laughed.

"Kid, I suspect you don't know the terror of our Zhang family's Soul Prison."

"Stay inside for a single instant, and you will feel as though you have spent countless eons, enduring the endless, infinite agony of eternity."

"Any proud and untamed person, once placed inside for a second, cannot endure it."

"And you, you shall endure it for a hundred years, a thousand years!"

"You won't even be able to beg for death!"

The crowd said mockingly.

Boom, boom, boom!!

At the edge of the firmament, flowing light flickered as several more experts arrived!

Three more Fifth-Turn experts had come.

And... two Sixth-Turn mighty figures.

In total, eight Fifth-Turn mighty figures and two Sixth-Turn Venerables had arrived.

For some professions, one becomes a Venerable at the Fifth Turn, but their ultimate limit realm will be lower.

For other professions, one only becomes a Venerable at the Sixth Turn, so their realm ceiling is higher.

In summary, regardless of the profession, one will become a Venerable at the Sixth Turn.

Therefore, the Sixth Turn is also universally known as the true Venerable!

Those two Sixth-Turn Venerables, one man and one woman, possessed an extraordinary aura, wearing two-colored ancient patterned robes, their pressure immense.

They stared coldly at Su Ming, as if looking at an ant.

Seeing him still holding on, refusing to drop to his knees, so stubborn.

That male Venerable said coldly.

"Kneel."

At the same time, he raised his hand and clenched it.

In an instant, terrifying power surged forth!

A phantom of a giant golden finger fell from the sky, landing heavily upon Su Ming's body.

The epic-grade protective equipment Su Ming wore, which originally belonged to Zhang Tang, the 【White Jade Twin Carp Pendant】, trembled once, then erupted into two layers of epic-grade protective barriers stacked upon each other.

Yet under the strike of a Sixth-Turn Venerable, they shattered into pieces!

On that giant finger were carved countless mysterious and complex patterns; it was at least a top-tier epic skill!

Pressing down on Su Ming's spine, he was instantly severely injured.

That Sixth-Turn Venerable's giant finger caused him to lose blood continuously, his flesh and bones being ground down.

Su Ming spat out a large mouthful of blood.

He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to hold on.

"Zhang... family!!" Two words filled with rage burst from his mouth.

Even with his spine crushed, he still forced himself not to kneel.

Compared to the heart-wrenching pain of his past life, what was this little bit of pain?

In this life, Su Ming had experienced too many hardships and challenges.

In his past life, he had no background, climbing from the very bottom to the Eighth Turn; one can imagine how many dangers he had to experience.

Even at this moment, suppressed by eight Fifth-Turn experts and with two Sixth-Turn experts watching like tigers, he did not feel the slightest panic.

At this moment, in his heart, there was only one emotion.

Clarity!

That Sixth-Turn Venerable's expression showed slight surprise.

He had not used his full strength in this strike, fearing he would kill this person and be unable to throw him into the Soul Prison, which would violate the elders' instructions.

But he was also suppressed by the grand array, and he could still stand!?

Even if that equipment barrier resisted a portion of the power, it shouldn't be like this, right?

Su Ming, bearing the immense pressure, looked around, gazing at everyone.

His eyes overflowed with golden light, looking as brilliant as a saint's, as if they could pierce straight through the soul!

At this moment, he saw through everyone's data.

Frost swirled in Su Ming's eyes, and he actually let out a faint laugh.

Su Ming's personality was just like this!

The more critical the danger, the more excited he felt.

In his bones, he was a warrior who feared nothing.

Otherwise, how could he have broken into the Eighth Turn in his past life!?

"You... every one of you, are not free." Su Ming stared at the crowd, his eyes seeming to contain a firmness capable of shattering stars.

"Even with high cultivation, you are still slaves."

"Even if you don't have parasitic insects like Meng Qing, it's about the same."

"You have all signed rule contracts with the Zhang family... to treat the family's interests and orders as something higher than your own lives, with absolute loyalty!"

"Hahahahaha!"

At this moment, his laughter was like mockery, entering everyone's ears.

"How ridiculous!"

"Even if you are Fifth-Turn or Sixth-Turn, so what?"

"On the surface, you are carefree and invincible, walking through the air, but in reality, your souls are in shackles."

"Your power can no longer be used for yourselves; you are merely tools of the family!"
