Chapter 1045 - Bear Witness to His Wanton PrideChapter 1045 - Bear Witness to His Wanton Pride
A stifled silence descended upon the plateau.
It was as if the young man in blue wanted everyone, past and present, to bear witness to his wanton pride. He couldn’t have been any more self-confident!
He even disregarded Profound Serenity Emperors! Who wouldn’t have been surprised?
“Hah? You’re so arrogant that I’m actually rather curious to see just what kinds of ‘delightful surprises’ you’ll bring me,” Mo Hengtian said in a low voice.
His voice was soft, but it echoed throughout heaven and earth, making the onlookers’ hair stand on end. They could hear the cold intent in his words.
Clang!
Qin Ruoshui stood beneath the dome of heaven, shaking her sword as she said slowly, “Come on then. Kill me!”
Her tone was rife with disdain.
But Su Yi ignored her. Instead, he swept his gaze across the Red Lotus cultists and their allies. “You’d best all attack me at once. Otherwise, this battle is going to be seriously boring.”
“...” The crowd was at a loss for words. This kid is only getting even more arrogant!
And when Su Yi directly ignored her, Qin Ruoshui’s expression darkened.
Whoosh!
She turned her wrist, shaking her sword as if opening a fan. In a flash, she unleashed a perfectly round, pale blue sword shadow. It ripped through the skies and cleaved at Su Yi.
The blue sword shadow was full of the power of Profound Serenity Laws. It was beautiful, with a dreamlike quality, but its majesty made countless hearts tremble.
Especially the Profound Illumination Emperors. All of them felt suffocated!
But Su Yi merely swung his sleeves.
The perfectly round blue sword shadow was like the moon reflected on the surface of a lake, but it shattered instantly.
Divine radiance scattered, and Su Yi’s tall, upright figure soared into the air.
Clang!
The clear, ethereal hum of a sword rang out.
The dreamlike, radiant, Moonlit Shadow was like a moon reflected in autumn waters as it appeared in Su Yi’s grip. Its misty glow only further enhanced Su Yi’s air of transcendence, making him seem like a banished immortal.
“What an excellent sword! It’s like it's naturally imbued with divinity!” Yue Changtian’s eyes lit up.
He was a sword cultivator, and they called him the Ash Night Sword Emperor. He naturally realized how extraordinary Moonlit Shadow was at a glance!
After seeing Su Yi break Qin Ruoshui’s attack with a single swing of his sleeves, many of those present were visibly startled. When they saw him soar into the sky, weapon in hand, his magnificent bearing made even some of the old monsters gasp.
Boom!
Beneath the dome of heaven, Qin Ruoshui narrowed her beautiful eyes. Arcs of blue lightning surged around her, shattering the surrounding skies and tearing the dome of heaven!
This Profound Serenity powerhouse of the Red Lotus Cult had the strength of her cultivation base on full display. Her imposing aura alone was enough to leave most of the Profound Illumination cultivators in attendance on the verge of breaking down.
“Cut!” Qin Ruoshui said softly.
It was just one word, but it was like an invocation. Her Dao sword bloomed with blue lightning, and the blade was swathed in an utterly destructive aura as it swept through the sky.
Even Yue Bailing and Yue Changtian, Profound Serenity Emperors in their own right, visibly reacted.
They knew that it would have taken everything they had to fight Qin Ruoshui.
So how… would Su Yi neutralize her attack?
Zhangsun Hong, the other Red Lotus cultists, Venerate Cloud Shadow, the other guests, Mo Hengtian of Red Dust Demon Palace, and even the man in the feather coat held their breath and watched attentively.
But Su Yi didn’t even dodge. He soared into the heavens, and Moonlit Shadow let out a clear hum.
Boom!
Heaven and earth shook.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs Su Yi swung his sword, he released unstoppable, overbearing sword force from Moonlit Shadow.
He was like an immortal of the sword dancing with his moonlit shadow, his sword rebelling against the heavens!
Bang!!
A deafening impact rang out, and the blue lightning dissipated. Qin Ruoshui’s sword qi shattered like glass.
“This…”
Everyone present was shaken.
The Yue clansmen were wide-eyed and tongue-tied. Isn’t he a bit too ferocious?
Zhangsun Hong looked more solemn than ever before.
“Something’s wrong here!” Mo Hengtian’s pupils constricted.
“What terrifying swordsmanship. He seems not one whit inferior to our Profound Serenity Elder Yan Suni!” The man in the feather coat was shaken too.
Su Yi’s attack was unquestionably far too forceful and tyrannical. It shook the hearts and minds of everyone present.
Only now did they realize that this seemingly brazen, arrogant young man in blue was actually a hidden, terrifying expert!
When she saw Su Yi attack again, Qin Ruoshui’s expression shifted dramatically, and she met his slash head-on.
But a moment later, her sword was sent flying from her grip, and its wails shook the heavens. Even her arm snapped at the wrist with a spray of blood.
“How is this possible!?” Qin Ruoshui panicked, and the blood drained from her face.
But Su Yi was already launching his next attack!
“Go!” An explosive bellow rang out as Zhangsun Hong rushed to her aid.
This Profound Serenity Realm powerhouse of the Red Lotus Cult swung a spear swathed in blood-red light and thrust from afar. His momentum was fierce and explosive.
The Burning Sun Blood Spear!
This was Zhangsun Hong’s natal weapon. It struck like blood lightning, with the might of annihilation.
Practically simultaneously, Venerate Cloud Shadow took action. He drew a golden fly whisk covered in flowing golden light and attacked from afar.
“That old bastard! How utterly shameless!” Yue Bailing was furious.
He was just about to intervene when Yue Changtian stopped him. “Fellow Daoist Su told us not to intervene. Besides… Ancestor, do you really think he needs our help…?”
His voice was rueful, and he looked a bit dazed.
Su Yi’s attainments in the Dao of the Sword were just too much. Even he felt his heart quiver in terror.
Yue Bailing was briefly stunned. He looked over, and saw the grand battle raging beneath the dome of heaven. Su Yi was fighting alone, but he was warding off the encirclement of three Profound Serenity Emperors. Shockingly, he wasn’t at all at a disadvantage!
Yue Bailing couldn’t help but feel dazed.
Just where did this Fellow Daoist Su come from!?
“Dammit! When did the Profound Sky Realm give rise to a junior like you!?” Mo Hengtian could no longer remain calm.
He was from the Wilds’ Red Dust Demon Mountain, and he had a vast breadth of experience. He’d lived for countless years, but try as he might, he couldn’t recall even so much as hearing about such a heaven-defying young man before.
A teenager, nothing more, yet he cut Profound Illumination Emperors down like grass!
And now, he was single-handedly facing down three Profound Serenity Emperors!action
This was unquestionably far too terrifying. To the point of overturning Mo Hengtian’s perception of reality! Never mind in the modern-day Wilds, no such thing had ever occurred in the Wilds’ long history. It was absolutely unprecedented and unheard of!
“So strong!”
“Just who is that boy?”
“How did the Yue Family invite such an expert of the Dao of the Sword?”
Uproar ensued throughout Autumn Waters Cliff. The experts of the Red Lotus Cult were all visibly astonished and alarmed.
It wasn’t that they were kicking up a fuss about nothing. They were Emperors! What wind and waves hadn’t they seen before?
But all of this was truly unbelievable. Anyone who saw it would have a hard time maintaining their cool!
“Old Daoist Niu, you go too!” Mo Hengtian suddenly bellowed.
Old Daoist Niu was the only Profound Serenity Realm Emperor amongst the Red Lotus Cult’s guests. He too was stunned by Su Yi’s combat prowess, and hearing Mo Hengtian call for him by name left him feeling conflicted.
But in the end, he gnashed his teeth, roared, and charged into the fray.
Boom!
He activated a glittering, golden Daoist seal. His momentum was strong and forceful.
But what left the onlookers wide-eyed and tongue-tied was that even after he joined the fray, they couldn’t suppress Su Yi!
No, as the battle raged on, Su Yi’s momentum became even stronger and more forceful. It didn’t seem as if he were surrounded at all. No, it seemed like he was single-handedly suppressing four Profound Serenity Emperors at once.
This level of strength was enough to blow the onlookers’ minds. How could a nineteen-year-old Emperor exist in this world? That was unbelievable already, but he could even cross realms to suppress four Profound Serenity Emperors at once!
“How is this…” Mo Hengtian was both shocked and infuriated. His expression was terrifyingly dark, and he felt an indescribable agitation.
He asked himself if he could have taken on those four Profound Serenity Emperors at once, and he wasn’t at all confident. Yet now, a mid-stage Profound Illumination young man was doing just that!
Who wouldn’t have been frantic?
“If we don’t take that boy out quickly, he’s going to turn the tables!” Mo Hengtian gnashed his teeth, and his eyes shone with killing intent. Without any further hesitation, he stepped into the air and attacked.
Boom!
Firelight surged into the firmament, interwoven with the power of the Laws. Mo Hengtian immediately waved a bronze battleaxe and charged into the fray to help the others take Su Yi down. His ferocious momentum was tyrannical beyond measure.
“Senior Mo has finally taken action!”
“This time, that kid is going to die beyond a shadow of a doubt!”
The Red Lotus Cult’s camp perked up. All of them sighed in relief. Of all of the Profound Serenity cultivators present, Mo Tianheng was the strongest!
The Yue Clansmen’s hearts clenched, and they inwardly cried out in alarm.
But then, Su Yi’s laughter emanated from the battlefield. “You’ve finally come, you old codger!”
His voice boomed like a morning bell or evening drum, reverberating throughout heaven and earth.
Everyone was stunned. Su Yi made it seem as if he’d been waiting for Mo Hengtian this entire time!
Mo Hengtian was startled. What’s going on? Don’t tell me I’ve been tricked!?
It was then that Su Yi’s aura underwent a stark transformation. He no longer held back, and he circulated the full extent of his cultivation base.
Boom!
His blue robes billowed around him, and a terrifying sword intent spread from his tall, upright figure.
Moonlit Shadow seemed to sense Su Yi’s murderous intent. The clear, ethereal, dreamlike blade clanged and hummed, like the might of the heavens themselves. Its power shook the skies.
“This is bad!” Mo Hengtian’s hair stood on end as he sensed a potentially lethal threat. I really have been tricked! That young man didn’t use his full power earlier. He must have held back to lure me into battle and ensure I didn’t escape!
Alas, he understood too late.
“Die!” As Su Yi’s calm voice rang out, he swung his sword, breaking his enemies’ encirclement. The edge of his sword was like the boundless river of stars pouring down from the heavens as it swept toward Mo Hengtian.
“Activate——!” At this life-or-death juncture, Mo Hengtian roared and used a forbidden technique. His cultivation base soared, as if he’d lit it ablaze.
He suddenly swung his battleaxe and clashed with Su Yi in midair.
Crunch!
The axe split in two.
“How is this…” Mo Hengtian was so startled that his soul practically left his body. He couldn’t believe it! He’d just poured his entire cultivation base into his forbidden technique, only to fail to block even a single hit?
A moment later, the boundless sword intent swept toward him, like the river of stars breaking through a dam and enveloping him completely.
Boom!
Sword light surged, and the entire stretch of sky collapsed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMo Hengtian was a Profound Serenity powerhouse of Red Dust Demon Mountain, but this unstoppable sword intent ripped his body to shreds, shattering his soul. He disappeared completely into the boundless sword light.
Nothing remained of him but ash!
One slash, and Su Yi overpowered a group of Profound Serenity cultivators’ joint encirclement, slaying Mo Hengtian!
This domineering scene left everyone present astonished.
Only now did they finally understand that earlier, Su Yi hadn’t used his full power in any way. Furthermore, he’d obviously done this to trick Mo Hengtian into joining the fray and getting himself killed.
This was far too terrifying.
When they realized this, Zhangsun Hong, Qin Ruoshui, Venerate Cloud Shadow, and Old Daoist Niu felt a chill course through them. Their will to fight wavered. Even someone as strong as Mo Hengtian had been lured to his doom, so what about them?
It was no exaggeration to say that had Su Yi displayed his full power earlier, he could have taken them down in a single swing!
Boom!
After eliminating Mo Hengtian, Su Yi swung his sword without mercy.
The already injured Qin Ruoshui barely had time to shriek in terror before an unstoppable, tyrannical sword qi swept through her delicate frame, chopping her into pieces. She exploded in midair.
“Run!” Zhangsun Hong’s eyes bulged as if about to burst. He turned and fled, now fully aware that he had no hope of turning this around.
In truth, there was no need for his warning. Venerate Cloud Shadow and Old Daoist Niu realized the situation didn’t bode well, and they’d already turned to flee, not daring to hesitate in the slightest.
Alas, they were ultimately too late.
Why had Su Yi withheld his strength? It was to prevent these old-timers from realizing their predicament and fleeing!
Otherwise, there’d have been no need to wait until Mo Hengtian joined the battle. He could have just killed them directly.
“Die!” A calm voice rang out.
Zhangsun Hong felt a stinging pain in his soul. A moment later, a streak of sword light flashed before his eyes.
Before he could even dodge, it bore through his forehead, right between the eyes!
It was just one slash, but its tyrannical power destroyed Zhangsun Hong’s body and soul, exploding them to bits.
Practically simultaneously—
Several thousand feet away, the skies tore like canvas, and Venerate Cloud Shadow’s figure staggered back into view.
His expression was full of terror as he cried out, “Brother Yue, I was wrong. Please, have him spare me…”
But his words came to an abrupt halt.
A rain of sword light lit up, tearing him to shreds with ease.
It all happened just too quickly!
Barely a single breath of time passed between Su Yi cutting down Mo Hengtian and him taking down Qin Ruoshui, Zhangsun Hong, and Venerate Cloud Shadow. It was over in the blink of an eye.
Four Profound Serenity Emperors, people who stood at the pinnacle of the Profound Sky Realm, had been cut down like chives. Su Yi had harvested each of them in a single slash!
And now, Su Yi had already appeared in front of Old Daoist Niu.
The old Daoist’s courage failed him, and he completely panicked. He begged, “I only came here to help out. Please, senior, show mercy…”
Splurt!
A streak of sword qi flashed by, and Old Daoist Niu died where he stood.
Now, all five of the Profound Serenity Emperors in the Red Lotus Cult’s camp had fallen!
Su Yi’s sword swept through the dome of heaven, cutting down Profound Serenity Emperors!
The plateau was deathly silent. Everyone’s heart shook, and they were rooted to the spot.
At just nineteen years of age, with mere mid-stage Profound Illumination cultivation, he’d fought five Profound Serenity cultivators single-handedly, turning the tides! He’d even executed all five of his opponents with unstoppable momentum!
Who wouldn’t have been surprised by this bloody scene?
This was more than just killing fellow Profound Illumination Emperors as if they were dogs or chickens. He could kill even Profound Serenity Emperors with ease!
The skies were in turmoil, and the smell of blood permeated the air. The night was increasingly dark and heavy, and the resplendent light of the setting sun seemed to pale in comparison to the young man in blue.
His tall, upright figure was like the most dazzling light of all.
He brushed his fingertip against the flat of Moonlit Shadow and whispered, “These opponents were a bit weak. You aren’t satisfied either, are you?”
Moonlit Shadow quivered and hummed in apparent agreement.
