First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1033 - Crying out Against Injustice on My Birth Mother’s Behalf

He said he was delivering their funeral bell, but he was really here to send them to the next world!

Who could have failed to realize that?

The higher-ups of the Ye Family were stunned. All of them found this amusing.

A little bastard from the Azure Continent dared cause a ruckus on their doorstep? He really… didn’t know the height of the heavens or the depths of the earth!

Off in the distance, the leader, the middle-aged man in dragon-embroidered robes, narrowed his eyes. He recognized Su Yi’s Netherworld Thunder Punishment Bell.

A moment later, he laughed. “Little fellow, you needn’t be in such a hurry to throw your life away. Let me ask you this…”

But before he could finish his question, Su Yi swung his sleeves, and the middle-aged man exploded. Chunks of flesh flew through the air, staining the sky red.

This sudden, bloody scene made the others visibly lose their composure. Their hearts trembled with utter astonishment.

“A paltry little Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivator, that’s all. You’re in no way qualified to converse with me,” Su Yi said flatly.

His blue robes fluttered around him, and beneath the light of the heavens, his tall, upright figure seemed even more transcendent and detached.

“Dammit! He actually killed the grand elder!”

“How could that little bastard be so strong?”

Atop Kunwu Mountain, the Ye clansmen were in uproar. A commotion rang out on all sides, and they were both alarmed and furious. This bloody scene had completely provoked them.

That middle-aged man in dragon-embroidered robes was their grand elder, and he’d had peak Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivation. He was inferior only to Emperors. His position was lofty, and he wielded vast authority.

Yet now, Su Yi had killed him in a single attack!

Who wouldn’t have been surprised? Who wouldn’t have been furious?

“Of course, you’re not worthy either. All of you are too weak.” Su Yi’s cold gaze turned toward the other Ye Family higher-ups.

All of them stiffened and inwardly cried out in alarm. They immediately rushed up the slopes of Mount Kunwu.

But then, Su Yi stretched out his finger and gently tapped the Netherworld Thunder Punishment Bell.

Clang!!

As the bell rang, black sound waves swept outward like an avalanche.

This was a Spirit Dao magic treasure, and it had long since been damaged. Its power wasn’t particularly noteworthy, but in Su Yi’s hands, it struck with unimaginable force.

Wherever the black soundwaves passed, the clustered Ye clansmen exploded as if they were made of paper mache, destroyed in both body and soul.

They couldn’t resist at all!

Boom!

The black sound waves manifested of the heaven-shaking ringing of the bell slammed into Kunwu Mountain’s formation, producing a low, rumbling boom. Firelight burst forth, and divine radiance surged.

This terrifying impact startled everyone on Kunwu Mountain. Their eyes widened, and their hair stood on end.

“How could he be so strong?” someone asked in a quavering voice, their teeth chattering.

“Little bastard! You’re seeking death!” Suddenly, a thunderous voice boomed, and an arc of golden light shot from the mountainside, transforming into a tall, stalwart man in golden robes.

His long hair was graying, and he carried a black halberd. His entire body emanated the distinctive power of the Imperial Realm.

As soon as he appeared, heaven and earth changed color, and the skies trembled.

His divine majesty rallied the Ye clansmen’s spirits, and they shouted with excitement.

“It’s Ancestor Tianhong!”

“This time, that kid is dead beyond a doubt!”

“Dead? That’d be letting him off too easily!”

…A wave of voices arose throughout the mountain.

Ye Tianhong!

He was in the mid-stage Profound Illumination Realm. He was one of the Ye Family’s four Profound Illumination Emperors!

“I’m seeking death?” Su Yi brushed off his clothes, then said casually, “Ye Yunjia said much the same thing, but he died in the Azure Continent.”

Ye Tianhong’s pupils constricted, and the excited clamor of voices throughout Kunwu Mountain came to an abrupt halt. Ancestor Yunjia… is dead!?

“A Spiritual Revolution Kid like you dares speak so impudently before the Ye Family? Ludicrous! Surely you aren’t trying to tell me that you killed Ancestor Yunjia?” A raspy voice suddenly rang out.

A moment later, yet another figure shot into the air. He was a graying elder with youthful features, and he wore wide-sleeved Daoist robes. His majestic aura shook heaven and earth.

Ye Pinghai!

He was in the late-stage Profound Illumination Realm, and he was one of the high elders of the Ye Family, just like Ye Tianhong.

The atmosphere became increasingly austere following his appearance, and the Ye clansmen calmed down.

He’s right. How could some Spiritual Revolution Realm bastard be a match for Ancestor Yunjia?

“What need is there to waste words? Since you’ve come to throw your life away, I’ll give you what you want!” A voice full of murderous intent rang out, and radiant purple light arced through the air, turning into a beautiful older woman in purple. Her hair was tied up, and she carried an ancient sword on her back. Her expression was cold and forceful, and the characteristic aura of an Empress emanated from her.

Ye Youzhu!

She was in the mid-stage Profound Illumination Realm, and she too was a high elder of the Ye Family. Although her cultivation was slightly inferior to Ye Pinghai’s, her attainments in the Dao of the Sword far surpassed his.

When the Ye clansmen saw that all three of their high elders had come, they burst into uproar. Their hearts filled with excitement.

When three Emperors fought together, they were invincible throughout the Mysterious Blue Realm!

Let alone against a single Spiritual Revolution Realm kid!

Even the Xia Emperor couldn’t help but look solemn. He’d witnessed Su Yi suppressing and killing Ye Yunjia, but now, he was up against three Emperors at once. Furthermore, this was Ye Family territory, and Kunwu Mountain was covered in densely layered formations. Of course he was intimidated!

“How… How is this possible?” Ye Yunlan felt as frantic as an ant on a heated pan.

He was well aware that even if he offered his life in exchange, he wouldn’t be able to change anything.

There was no way the Ye Family would let Su Yi go.

If they were willing to let up, they wouldn’t have gone so far as to send Ye Yunjia to the Azure Continent just to capture Su Yi.

But Ye Yunlan’s conscience wouldn’t let him just stand here and watch this happen!

He instantly felt completely lost, as if he were on the verge of collapse.

Beneath the dome of heaven.

Su Yi swept his gaze across the three Emperors, and his brow furrowed. “Why don’t I see Ye Tiandu?”

Ye Tiandu was one of the Ye Family’s only surviving Emperors, and he hailed from the branch lineage.

Unlike the main branch Profound Serenity Emperor Ye Cangtu, Ye Tiandu had never suffered any Dao injuries.

In Su Yi’s estimation, throughout the Ye Family, only Ye Tiandu worthy of his notice, and even then only just barely. The others amounted to no more than clay chickens and porcelain dogs; they weren’t even worth mentioning.

“Brazen! I alone am enough to kill a whelp like you!” Ye Youzhu said coldly. She drew her Dao sword, then slashed at Su Yi.

Boom!

Silver sword qi shot cleaved through the firmament like a lightning bolt. It was dazzlingly bright and boundlessly powerful, and it was full of terrifying, destructive power.

It was so bright that the crowd could barely open their eyes. After all, this was the attack of an Empress! Even just watching it from afar was enough to intimidate everyone beneath the Imperial level!

“Ants trying to shake a tree, that’s all. Very well. I’ll send you three on your way first.” Su Yi stretched out his palm and tapped.

Bang!

The hundred-plus-foot streak of electric sword qi crumbled in midair.

At the same time, Su Yi disappeared from view. A moment later, he was right in front of Ye Youzhu.

“This is bad!” Ye Youzhu’s expression shifted dramatically, and she waved her sword like mad.

Su Yi pressed his fingers into a sword and thrust.

Clang!!!

Ye Youzhu’s Dao sword trembled and flew from her grip.

And Su Yi’s fingertip pressed against her forehead, right between her eyes.

A fingertip was naturally nowhere near as sharp as a sword’s edge, but it left a bloody hole in Ye Youzhu’s forehead. Unstoppable sword qi ran rampant, grinding her head, neck, and body into nothingness.

In the end, she exploded into ash and dissipated.

A Profound Illumination Empress with shocking attainments in the Dao of the Sword had been killed, just like that!

This tyrannical scene immediately astonished everyone present.

And as soon as You Youzhu was dead, Su Yi shot forward. This time, he was targeting Ye Pinghai.

“This is bad!” Ye Pinghai realized this right away, and he immediately dodged.

But it was already too late. Su Yi was like an immortal beating a heavenly drum. His hands formed seals in the air, then came crashing down.

Boom!

Beneath the crowd’s astonished gazes, a dazzling sword seal came crashing down. It was as if the hammer of a deity had slammed into Ye Pinghai, shattering him into pieces.

It was just too terrifying.

One slash had killed Ye Youzhu, and a single seal exploded Ye Pinghai!

And all this happened in a snap. Two of the Ye Family’s Emperors had died on the spot!

This bloody scene left the Ye clansmen dumbstruck. They were rooted to the spot, completely dazed.

Even if you’d hit them over the head, they would never have guessed that a Spiritual Revolution Realm young man would possess such terrifying, heaven-defying power. He was killing Emperors as if they were chickens!

“Hurry and call for Ancestor Tiandu!!!”

Only Ye Tianhong remained, but he was already scared out of his wits, and his courage had left him.

Before Su Yi even came for him, he let out a hysterical roar, then shot up Kunwu Mountain with all his might. He dared not linger in the slightest.

“Can you escape, though?” Su Yi shook his head, then reached through the air and grabbed. A streak of sword qi emanating resplendent golden light took form, and he shifted his wrist.

Whoosh!

The golden sword qi disappeared into thin air, flashed, and reappeared directly in front of Ye Tianhong.

The Seamless Spatial Rift!

It could cleave through space and tear through all fetters, quick as a spark.

The core of this legacy of the Dao of the Sword lay in a single word: quick!

Ye Tianhong staggered in front of Kunwu Mountain’s formation, and he almost fell from the sky.

“How could… a Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivator like you… exist in this world?”

As his bewildered voice started and stopped, Ye Tianhong raised his head with great difficulty. He tried to turn, but before he got far, his head rolled off his shoulders.

Then, his body crumbled into ash and dissipated.

A third Emperor had fallen! From beginning to end, Su Yi had attacked just three times. Each strike slew an Emperor, with no extraneous movements. It was as if he’d just squashed three ants.

Heaven and earth were deathly silent. The smell of blood lingered in the air.

Throughout Kunwu Mountain, the Ye clansmen were still dazed. Their minds were completely blank, and they stood there like clay statues.

Even the Xia Emperor’s heart trembled uncontrollably.

The Profound Dao was like the heavens, and Emperors were like gods.

In the eyes of the populace, Imperial experts were like deities. They could incinerate mountains and boil seas. They could stand proudly in the heavens, gazing down upon the masses.

Yet against Su Yi, these three Ye Family Emperors seemed utterly pathetic, no different from clay chickens or porcelain dogs!

Who wouldn’t have been astonished?

Most unbelievable of all was that the Xia Emperor could sense that from beginning to end, Su Yi had yet to display the power of the Imperial Realm!

“So, Yufei’s son is already this strong…” Ye Yunlan’s heart shook with astonishment, and he looked dazed.

Earlier, he’d been so frantic that he almost broke down. But now, he finally understood. I underestimated my nephew again.

It’s only been a year or so since I last saw him, but he’s already strong enough to cut down Emperors with ease!

Meanwhile, Su Yi stood in the heavens, gently tapping the Netherworld Thunder Punishment Bell. He muttered to himself, “Consider the sound of the bell… a cry for justice for the woman who gave birth to me in this lifetime.”

The sound of the bell resounded throughout heaven and earth.

“But it’s far from enough.”

Su Yi fixed his gaze on the heart of the towering, hundred-thousand-foot Kunwu Mountain.
