First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 532: I’ll Play With You

Huan Shaoyou’s gesture drew attention from throughout the venue.

The influential experts seated on the central jade platform couldn’t help but look at Su Yi with a hint of confusion.

“Brother Su, that guy dares point at you? He’s too arrogant!” Xia Qingyuan grumbled angrily.

Su Yi’s brow furrowed, but he said nothing.

Meanwhile, in the arena. contemporary romance

Yuan Heng solemnly turned in Su Yi’s direction and bowed before saying with the utmost respect, “His Excellency Su Yi is my master!”

All of Orchid Terrace fell silent.

Who knows how many people were stunned?

Yuan Heng was inferior to the peak ancient monsters and modern geniuses, but he’d still made it into the top hundred. His strength was tyrannical too.

Even in the peak-level orthodoxies, he’d have been a core disciple of the younger generation.

Who’d have thought that someone so mighty was just Su Yi’s servant?

The way the major powers looked at Su Yi shifted slightly, and they were quite surprised.

Huan Shaoyou was stunned too, but then, he laughed heartily and nodded. “Good, very good. Excellent! In that case, I’ll have to take good care of you!”

A ruthless, bloodthirsty light coursed through the depths of his gaze, and one look at his smile was enough to make someone shudder.

Yuan Heng said calmly, “Come fight me, then.”

Boom!

He attacked first, unleashing the Xuanwu Overlord Seal.

Spiritual light surged overhead, forming a pitch-black palm imprint one hundred feet across. The indistinct projection of a Xuanwu divine beast floated overhead, manifesting enough force to crush the skies beneath its feat.

The Overturning Mountains Seal!

A hint of disdain flashed in Huan Shaoyou’s eyes. He suddenly stepped forward, pressed his fingers together, and slashed.

Bang!

A streak of crimson divine radiance shot forth, like a knife slicing through the sky, effortlessly slicing the Overturning Mountains Seal in half.

The entire venue was in uproar. Startled cries rang out on all sides.

A rain of light scattered. Huan Shaoyou shifted and appeared directly before Yuan Heng.

He smiled faintly, then whispered, “Kneel.”

His voice still rang out as his fingers pressed gently down, surrounded by blood-colored light.

Yuan Heng bellowed and crossed his arms, his fingers blotting out the sky.

The Height of Summer Seal!

Boom!

A deafening explosion reverberated throughout the arena.

Winds scattered in all directions as Yuan Heng blocked Huan Shaoyou’s incomparably domineering attack head-on.

However, blood poured from Yuan Heng’s lips, and his bones and tendons creaked, unable to bear the pressure. His tall, stalwart frame trembled violently.

It was clear that although this attack hadn’t forced him to his knees, the impact had dealt him severe injuries!

“You refuse to kneel even if it means getting hurt?” Huan Shaoyou laughed, his gaze cold and playful. “Then I’d like to see just how tough you are!”

As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Yuan Heng’s left shoulder and exerted strength through his fingers.

Crunch!

The head of Yuan Heng’s scapula shattered with an alarming noise. Both bone and flesh ripped apart with a spray of blood.

“It seems the bones of your shoulders aren’t tough at all!” Huan Shaoyou smiled, his eyes narrowing into slits.

Yuan Heng let out a stifled grunt, and his entire body lit up. He exploded with power, raised his right fist, and slammed it at Huan Shaoyou’s face.

Huan Shaoyou didn’t so much as dodge. His right hand grabbed Yuah Heng’s wrist, quick as lightning. Then, he twisted.

Beneath the crowd’s astonished gazes, Yuan Heng’s right sleeve was ripped to shreds. Muscles distorted and burst with another spray of red.

In the end, his arm looked like a fried dough twist. Every bone shattered and every tendon tore.

Bang!

As Huan Shaoyou raised his hand, Yuan Heng was sent flying, and he fell over a hundred feet away.

Orchid Terrace fell deathly silent. Huan Shaoyou’s brutal methods shocked the spectators.

Quite a few couldn’t even bear to watch.

Everyone could see that Huan Shaoyou was torturing his opponent! He was using this utterly humiliating method to trample Yuan Heng!

“That bastard! This is obviously premeditated revenge!” Yue Shichan’s starry eyes frosted over. She was worried on Yuan Heng’s behalf.

“Strutting around and showing off in front of Brother Su…?” muttered Gu Cangning. How could he fail to realize Huan Shaoyou’s goal?

“Aigh, this is what happens when you oppose Huan Shaoyou. If Su Yi hadn’t provoked him outside Orchid Terrace, how could his servant possibly be facing such violence and humiliation now?” Many of the onlookers sighed to themselves.

Word of Su Yi’s staredown with Huan Shaoyou had long since spread.

When they saw this, the onlookers naturally realized what this was. Huan Shaoyou was getting his revenge!

Given Su Yi’s temperament, there’s no way he’ll let Huan Shaoyou off!?thought Jiang Li.

“Detestable!” Wen Xinzhao’s beautiful eyes blazed with fury.

Up on the central platform, the illustrious guests had strange looks in their eyes. How could they miss that Huan Shaoyou was doing this to target Su Yi?

His servant had been humiliated. As Yuan Heng’s master, how could Su Yi tolerate this?

Quite a few people glanced at Su Yi, only to discover that he merely sat there, calm as ever, as if he thought nothing of this.

Many were stunned.?How can he stay calm, even now?

“Yuan Heng, don’t blame me for treating you like this. Who… Who told you to choose such a?wonderful?master? He isn’t participating in the Orchid Terrace Dharma Assembly, so I had no choice but to vent my anger on you instead,” said Huan Shaoyou up on stage.

He walked over to Yuan Heng, saying, “Just now, you didn’t want to kneel? How about I shatter every bone in your body? Then, you’ll have no choice but to kneel, like or not.”

Yuan Heng’s face was pallid. He struggled to his feet, and despite the severity of his injuries, he gnashed his teeth.

When he saw Huan Shaoyou approach, Yuan Heng even broke into a broad grin. “Shameless braggart! Were my master truly to participate, a little demonic whelp like you would have knelt and begged for mercy a long time ago.”

“Hah? You dare talk back even now? Kneel!” Huan Shaoyou laughed derisively, then shot forward in a flash and swung his fist.

Even though Yuan Heng blocked with everything he hand, his opponent’s fist broke quite a few bones. His entire body curved forward, and it seemed he was on the verge of kneeling.

However, right at the critical moment, Yuan Heng bellowed. His eyes almost threatened to burst, and his body contorted. He fell to the side, but he didn’t kneel.

Still, his injuries were severe, and he was covered in blood. He looked miserable as could be.

It was obvious to everyone that Yuan Heng couldn’t possibly fight back.

Yue Shichan and Wen Xinzhao felt stifled and frantic. Huan Shaoyou’s brutality had infuriated them.

Even the spectators couldn’t quite bear to watch.

How was this a discussion of the Dao? This wasn’t sparring; this was public torture and humiliation.

Xia Qingyuan couldn’t help but look at Su Yi, only to discover that he was as calm as ever, as if he weren’t the least bit concerned about Yuan Heng’s safety.

Weng Jiu was the judge responsible for declaring victory. Even he couldn’t bear to watch this any further, so he said, “Victory and defeat are already clear. It’s time for this battle to end.”

“Did you see Yuan Heng admit defeat? If not, how can this end now?”

As Huan Shaoyou spoke, he suddenly shot ahead, kicking Yuan Heng in the gut. He wanted to seize this opportunity to cripple his foundations in the Grand Dao before the results were declared!

Right at this critical juncture, Weng Jiu appeared before Huan Shaoyou and pressed down.

Bang!

A heaven-shaking boom rang out.

Everyone gasped.

Weng Jiu had blocked Huan Shaoyou’s kick and saved Yuan Heng from becoming a cripple. However, despite his Spirit Dao cultivation, Weng Jiu shook and staggered backward!

Even the experts watching from the central jade platform felt their eyelids twitch.

He was so strong!

Huan Shaoyou was in the Gathering Stars Realm, yet his kick could shake even a Spirit Dao subordinate of the imperial family. How heaven-defying was his combat prowess?

“You dare stop me, old man?” Huan Shaoyou’s expression darkened.

Weng Jiu said calmly, “I am merely acting in accordance with the Orchid Terrace Dharma Assembly’s rules. Young Lord Huan, it’s you who attempted to kill someone on stage. If I hadn’t stopped you, you would have broken the rules!”

As he spoke, Weng Jiu helped Yuan Heng up and carried him out of the arena.

“Blasted geezer! If you dare stop me like this again, don’t blame me for my poor manners!” Huan Shaoyou said coolly.

Weng Jiu paid him no heed.

Huan Shaoyou then turned and looked up at the central jade platform, where Su Yi was seated. A radiant smile appeared on his handsome face.

He waved from afar, then said in a loud, clear voice, “Su Yi, your servant was lacking. After the Orchid Terrace Dharma Assembly, how about the two of us play? I might as well be direct: not even the Great Xia’s imperial family can protect you!”

The entire venue was in uproar. Who could miss that Huan Shaoyou was declaring war against Su Yi?

“If a little demon like Huan Shaoyou’s set his sights on him, I’m afraid Su Yi’s done for…”

“So what if he’s riding the imperial family’s coattails? He offended a madman; Huan Shaoyou certainly doesn’t care about any of that!”

“Why was this necessary?”

Some people felt pity, others were gleeful at Su Yi’s misfortune.

Up on stage, the other illustrious guests’ expressions were increasingly strange.

Huo Mingyuan made no attempt to hide his delight.

Daoist Master Moyang shook his head.

Lu Daoting looked conflicted.

Yu Jiuzhen sighed.

Buddhist Master Jinyuan took a sip of tea.

By comparison to the rest of the audience, they maintained a certain degree of decorum.

However, the Xia Emperor, who was seated at the center of the platform, could tell at a glance that those who viewed Su Yi with enmity were all inwardly gleeful.

The Demonic Huan Family was strong, strong enough to contend with the imperial family.

Huan Shaoyou was targeting Su Yi. Many people assumed this was no different than a death sentence.

But it was then that—

Su Yi drained his cup, rose, and said calmly, “There’s no need to wait. I can play with you right now.”

His voice wasn’t overly loud, yet it was clearly audible throughout Orchid Terrace.

Everyone was dazed; it seemed they dared not believe their ears.

Wen Xinzhao and Yue Shichan looked excited, and their eyes lit up.?Is Brother Su finally going to intervene?

Jiang Li’s heart shook, and her phoenix eyes glittered with radiant light.?It seems… we’re in for a show!

Gu Cangning, Zeng Pu, Chi Jiansu, and the other monsters of the ancient era were stunned, but more than that, they couldn’t help but feel eager.

“He… wants to duel Huan Shaoyou!?” Ge Qian gasped.

Huan Shaoyou had originally planned to leave the arena, but when he heard this, he paused. Immediately afterward, a grin spread across his face, and his eyes shone like torches as he turned to look at Su Yi once more.

He stuck up his thumb, and his face filled with admiration. “You’ve got guts! Since you dared step up, I guarantee to teach you what it means to suffer a fate worse than death and what it means to seek out one’s own humiliation!”
