As he spoke, Su Yi gazed at the distant Celestial Blue.
A vast, boundless, seemingly limitless sword force traveled through Su Yi’s divine?sense?and locked onto Celestial Blue.
At that moment, all of Su Yi’s?attainments?in the Dao of the Sword were on full display.
Even the typically dormant, unmoving Sword of the Nine Hells trembled slightly, as if resonating with something.
Clang!
The nicked, rusted Celestial Blue let out a clear and melodious hum. It burst with divine radiance, and a rain of light surged like the tide, as radiant and misty as the glow of the rising sun. It was dazzling to the extreme.
He’s finished!
When they saw this, Yan Jingyun and company gasped. The force Celestial Blue had on display was so immense that even watching from a distance, they felt suffocated.
Its sword light overflowed. It was endlessly terrifying, and their hair stood on end.
The white-robed elder and the middle-aged man in red both reacted visibly.
They realized that, had Celestial Blue burst with such force during their earlier clashes, its sword force alone could have dealt them severe injuries!
How could the Gathering Stars Realm Su Yi possibly block such sword force?
Whoosh!
They watched as Celestial Blue arced through the sky like a rainbow, shooting toward Su Yi.
A few moments later, the four onlookers’ expressions froze, and they were rooted to the spot.
Su Yi still stood there in full view without so much as a hair out of place.
And the descending Celestial Blue? It was like a swallow returning to its nest; first, it circled joyously around Su Yi. Then, it pointed its tip away from him, and its hilt landed in Su Yi’s outstretched right hand.
Both the clear, icy sword light filling the air and terrifying sword force disappeared.
The underground world was instantly deathly silent.
Yan Jingyun’s eyes widened, and his hands silently clenched into fists.?How… How is this possible!?
Earlier, he’d mocked and ridiculed Su Yi, saying that his behavior was no different from suicide. Who’d have thought such an unbelievable scene would play out before him? This left him feeling dazed and bewildered.
Jing Lingzhen’s pupils constricted, and his face filled with disbelief.
He’d thought Su Yi was doomed beyond a shadow of a thought. Even if you’d hit him over the head, he would never have guessed that Su Yi wouldn’t just escape unscathed; all he did was stand there, but Celestial Blue obediently delivered itself into his hand!
This was simply unbelievable!
The white-robed elder and the man in blood-red clothes looked at each other, their expressions filled with uncertainty. Their hurts churned with emotion.
This scene startled them both, and when they thought back to their earlier declarations about how Su Yi was effectively committing suicide, their faces heated up. They felt as if they’d been slapped.
It was really, truly embarrassing!
There was no fight. There were no twists and turns. Su Yi just stood there, and Celestial Blue submitted of its own accord!
As Su Yi stood in the ritual grounds, his eyes shone with a hint of gratification. He gently brushed his finger against the flat of the blade and whispered, “You’re actually quite a clever little thing. In the past, even if you’d begged, you would never have gotten the opportunity to accompany me in my cultivation.”
Celestial Blue trembled slightly, seemingly with delight.
“Su Yi!”
Suddenly, Yan Jingyun’s voice rang out from afar.
Su Yi turned to look at him.
Yan Jingyun’s expression shifted erratically. “You… How did you pull that off?”
They all looked at Su Yi, as well as the sword in his hand. Each had a nastier expression than the other.
Over the past five days, they’d each used every method at their disposal and racked their brains. They’d lost track of how many times they’d tried to subdue Celestial Blue, but even until moments before, they’d failed every time.
Who’d have thought that Su Yi, a young man in the Gathering Stars Realm, would win the sword’s recognition as soon as he entered the ritual grounds? It had submitted to him of its own volition! contemporary romance
The disparity was far too enormous, leaving them feeling so stifled, they almost coughed up blood. How could their expressions possibly be pleasant?
“Perhaps the sword just thought that only I was worth submitting to?” said Su Yi calmly.
“Are you saying none of us are worthy?” Yan Jingyun furrowed his brow.
“Those are the facts. Getting angry won’t do you any good,” said Su Yi.
As he spoke, Su Yi glanced at the tightly-shut bronze door off in the distance. As he sensed the aura of the sword in his hand, he understood that it was the “key” to opening that door!
Only by obtaining Celestial Blue could one enter the door with ease.
Otherwise, even Emperors would be trapped outside, unable to enter.
It was then that the man in red said gravely, “Young man, if you’re willing to give us the sword, I guarantee you your share of the good fortune past those doors. Otherwise, after today, I’m afraid this place will have yet another grave!”
His tone was icy, sinister, austere and imposing.
When they heard this, Yan Jingyun, Jing Lingzhen, and the white-robed elder all looked at Su Yi.
They naturally weren’t willing to see Su Yi run off with Celestial Blue.
“Are you trying to rob me?” asked Su Yi.
“Battles over good fortune have always been like this. You’ve obtained the sword, but that doesn’t mean you’ll wind up with it,” the man in blood-colored clothing said icily. “Besides, if we hadn’t given you the opportunity, how could you have ever gotten the chance to win the sword’s recognition?”
Su Yi laughed, then scanned the group. “I just knew you wouldn’t be content to let this end here. But…”
He raised the ancient sword, Celestial Blue, and said, “You couldn’t block this sword earlier. Now… Aren’t you worried I’ll use this sword to kill you?”
The white-robed elder couldn’t help but laugh. “Little fellow, don’t even try to scare us. We clashed with that sword many times over. We know how severely damaged it is, and that its power is on the verge of running out. When you leave the ritual grounds, it won’t be able to borrow the power sealing the gate any longer.”
His tone was utterly derisive. “If you think subduing the sword means you can threaten us, you’ve really let your imagination get the best of you.”
His voice was utterly disdainful.
“Su Yi, you can see the situation too. Only by cooperating with us can you leave alive, and moreover, receive a portion of whatever treasure we obtain on this expedition. If you stubbornly refuse to see the light, you’ll surely die here,” said Yan Jingyun sincerely. “Please, listen to me. Back down. Don’t bring harm upon yourself.”
“You’re wrong. Even without borrowing the power sealing the gate, if I want to kill you, it’ll be no different from slaughtering a bunch of dogs and chickens,” said Su Yi. He put one hand behind the back, while the other raised Celestial Blue as he emerged from the ritual grounds. “If you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to try me.”
This left the entire group stunned. They would never have guessed that Su Yi would dare leave the ritual grounds!
Leaving meant that Celestial Blue could no longer borrow the power of the seal, which meant it could no longer threaten them!
This behavior was completely idiotic, to the point that they found it hard to believe.?How… How could this guy be so arrogant and foolish!?
“Like killing dogs and chickens? It seems to me you’re the one courting death!” Jing Lingzhen snorted coldly. He was the first to attack.
Whoosh!
His tall, gaunt figure was as swift as lightning. While still in midair, he drew his saber and slashed at Su Yi.
It was just one slash, but silver light swept through the air, like a silver river dancing amidst the nine heavens. The flourishing saber force shook both heaven and earth.
Bang!
Su Yi raised his hand, and Celestial Blue slashed through the sky, stirring up dazzling, misty blue light that blocked the descending saber strike.
Then, with a turn of the wrist, Celestial Blue’s rusted blade burst with enormous divine majesty and slashed with the mysterious truths of the Great Five Elements Suppression Domain Sword.
Boom!
Amidst the earth-shaking booms, five elemental sword mountains bore down.
Jing Lingzhen’s pupils constricted, and he bellowed. His saber stirred up explosive silver saber qi, which swept forth like a windstorm.
The Radiant Silver Vortex!
This was Jing Lingzhen’s ultimate move.
However, a mere moment later, beneath the Great Five Elements Suppression Domain Sword, the silver windstorm burst apart as if it were made of paper mache. The resulting currents spread out in all directions.
Immediately afterward, a terrifying suppressive force bore down on Jing Lingzhen. He lost control of his body, and his knees slammed to the ground with an audible thud.
One sword had suppressed Jing Lingzhen!
That unstoppable force left the onlookers so stunned that their jaws practically fell off. How could a single Gathering Stars Realm cultivator repress a Spiritual Manifestation Realm existence like Jing Lingzhen with such ease!?
Especially since Jing Lingzhen was a top figure even among monsters of the ancient era. After entering the Spiritual Manifestation Realm, his strength was far beyond that of the world’s older-generation Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivators!
But now…
After just one attack, Jing Linzheng was forced to his knees!
Who wouldn’t have been surprised?
Even Jing Lingzhen was practically stunned out of his wits. By the time he realized what was happening, endless shame rose within his heart. His face was ashen, and his eyes seemed like they were on the verge of popping out of their sockets.
“Activate!” Jing Lingzhen bellowed, power surging around him. It was as if his blood and qi were on fire; he’d obviously used some utterly terrifying secret art.
But beneath the Great Five Elements Suppression Domain Sword, his attempts to struggle free seemed pitifully weak. The defensive treasures he had all over his body burst apart.
In the end, he was forced to the ground, his skin tearing and his bones audibly creaking and scraping beneath more pressure than they could bear.
“You’re courting death!” The man in blood-red clothing was enraged, and he attacked without hesitation.
Boom!
He shot through the air, shrouded in monstrous blood-colored light as he swung his palm at Su Yi.
He was just the primordial spirit of a peak Spiritual Integration Realm cultivator, but his power and majesty were terrifying beyond limit. He was far beyond Jing Lingzhen.
A mocking smile rose on Su Yi’s lips.
He’d once single-handedly taken down a group of nine Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivators, Huan Shaoyou included, without so much as furrowing his brow. How could something like this stop him?
Without any hesitation at all, Su Yi swung his sword and thrust forward.
Whoosh!
Celestial Blue swung, bringing with it dazzling blue light, and it clashed with the palm head-on.
A heaven-shaking boom rang out. The sword qi was like an axe cleaving through bamboo, blasting the red-clothed middle-aged man’s palm strike into bits and making him stop suddenly in midair. He couldn’t advance even an inch.
Su Yi staggered slightly, and throughout his body, his blood and qi churned.
“With my current cultivation, fighting a peak Spiritual Integration Realm primordial spirit really is a bit exhausting,” said Su Yi, his brow furrowing slightly.
“This…”
Off in the distance, both Yan Jingyun and the white-robed elder were stunned. Their expressions filled with shock. Neither would have imagined that Su Yi could actually block the middle-aged man’s attack. This was completely beyond their imaginations!
“How is this possible?” The man in blood-colored clothing was flabbergasted. It was as if he’d seen a ghost.
His palm strike could easily exterminate anyone in the Spiritual Manifestation Realm. Who’d have thought a young Gathering Stars Realm cultivator could block it?
“That’s all you’ve got?” Su Yi asked calmly. “And you said you’d take?my?head? You overestimate yourself.”
As his voice rang out, Su Yi raised his hand and swung his sword.
Splurt!
He’d already forced Jing Lingzhen to the ground, and the monster of the ancient era had no way to dodge. The sword took his head clean off, and it rolled across the floor, leaving a trail of blood.
His eyes were wide open and angry even in death.
