As Su Yi’s calm voice rang out, he disappeared into thin air.
Then the purple-robed, white-bearded Qu Changhen saw this, his eyelids twitched, and he bellowed, “Be careful!”
With a swoosh of his sleeves, the massive, yellow-skinned gourd beneath his feet rumbled and surged with black smoke. Once it fully enveloped him, he completely disappeared.
“Hah!” The cattail fan-carrying, decrepit Hong Zhiwen’s voice boomed like spring thunder. Suddenly, thirty-six depictions of the Realm of Hungry Ghosts surrounded him, forming a multi-layered defense.
“Rise!” The willowy-bearded Tantai Ye’s sword case boomed, and a sword with a pinewood-grain pattern on its blade shot forth, forming countless perfectly circular sword curtains, like layered hidden realms.
“Protect!” Fei Yanzhi flung her basket of flowers, and a massive black datura flower bloomed in the air. Each petal was as heavy as a mountain and flowing with the inscrutable power of Laws.
Practically simultaneously——
The other Emperors all activated their trump cards without hesitation. Some used talismans, while others took out treasures or unleashed secret abilities.
All were wondrous. The strength of Emperors was on full display!
No one dared hold back.
Earlier, the sword hum reverberating throughout creation, the unstoppable radiance accompanying it, and the unimaginably terrifying aura of the Dao of the Sword emanating from the young man in blue, made even this experienced group of Emperors sense an impending threat.
Who’d dare to hold back at a time like this?
Sword light flashed in the distance.
It was simple and clean, as pure as a moonbeam.
After it appeared, it transformed into wisps of sword qi, filling the skies with a bang. The sword qi fell down like rain, flowing and ethereal as it swept forth.
Afterward, a terrifying, oppressive sword majesty bore down on the surrounding landscape. The skies caved in with a boom.
Bang!
A red-robed man in a feather headdress activated a bronze mirror and manifested galaxy-like Profound Dao Laws to protect himself.
But when the sword qi swept toward him, the river of stars, the wondrous bronze mirror, and the red-robed man’s body were all ripped to shreds.
Fresh blood poured down like a waterfall, and bits of flesh scattered like rain.
In the blink of an eye, a mid-stage Profound Illumination Emperor of the Qu Family was torn to bits. His treasures were ruined, and even his soul dispersed.
“Ah——!”
A miserable shriek followed. The bald old man with the bamboo cane turned and tried to flee, only for radiant?sword qi to flash by his throat, shoulders, chest, and legs.
A moment later, his dismembered body split into countless fine chunks of flesh.
Clang!!
A black bell, a mid-grade Profound Treasure, failed to withstand the onslaught, splitting into pieces.
The tall, stalwart man it protected watched. His eyes widened, and his entire body seemed to burst into flames. A moment later, nothing remained of him but ash.
A streak of sword qi dispersed in the spot he’d stood just moments prior.
“No!” A terrified shout rang out, and a beautiful woman’s head flew through the air. Her soul avatar was just about to flee when boundless?sword qi enveloped it, killing her on the spot.
Boom!
The entire stretch of heaven and earth was in turmoil. Sword qi scattered, and countless treasures long held in reserve were either sent flying or chopped into pieces.
Some of the Emperors blocked the sword qi, only to be sent staggering back. Some coughed up blood, while others cried out in agony.
…All of these bloody scenes unfolded practically simultaneously.
Seven Emperors, all from major ancient factions, died on the spot!
Even the strongest among them, Qu Changhan, Hong Zhiwen, and the other Profound Serenity Emperors, cut sorry figures. They had no choice but to flee.
And this was only the power of Su Yi’s first attack!
One slash, and he’d killed seven Emperors!
Even more terrifyingly, the Emperors’ divine sense couldn’t detect any trace of him!
This tyrannical, bloodthirsty scene astonished everyone present.
“Incredible!” Cui Chang’an’s heart swelled with emotion, and he was visibly delighted.
“This…”
Xue Huaning and the other higher-ups were wide-eyed and tongue-tied. Waves of astonishment coursed through their hearts.
The thin old man, the Tianji Yao Empress, and the man in Confucian robes gasped.
That attack had been a vivid example of Old Monster Su’s terrifyingness.
So what if you were an Emperor?
How was killing you any different from slaughtering a chicken?
“Just who is that guy!?” The Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow’s blood-red eyes bulged, and its heart shook.
The Dark Vassal said nothing. He activated the blood-red Daoist seal in his hand, attacking the formation protecting the ruins of the Bureau of Adjudication like mad.
The Sinful Ghost Monk and Child of Sin stood there in a daze.
Like the sword of a god, Su Yi's slash broke through a group of Emperors, shaking the nine heavens!
No one could have imagined such a thing. How terrifyingly powerful did someone have to be to unleash such an attack?
Meanwhile, Su Yi’s tall, upright figure appeared out of nowhere in the skies not far from the Cui Family estate.
His blue robes billowed around him, and he had a transcendent air.
Moonlit Shadow clanged and hummed in his hand, emanating dazzlingly clear radiance as bright as the sun. This only further enhanced its wielder’s majestic, seemingly divine presence!
The misty light obscured Su Yi’s features. No one could see them clearly.
However, the aura of the Dao of the Sword emanating from him struck terror into the Emperors’ hearts.
“Don’t fight on your own. Attack together!” shouted Qu Changhen.
But this reminder was entirely unnecessary. How could the others fail to realize that if they fought on their own, this mysterious expert would just pick them off one by one?
“Kill him!”
The Emperors attacked together.
Boom!
Heaven and earth shook, and the skies were thrown into disarray.
Save for the Cui Family estate, which was still protected by the formation, all nearby buildings had already been reduced to rubble. Numerous streets and alleys were severely damaged.
When the Emperors attacked, all manner of astonishing treasures shot through the air, bringing with them destructive energy fluctuations.
All were targeted at Su Yi.
Su Yi’s gaze was calm and indifferent. He subtly shook his head.
Moonlit Shadow swept through the air, displaying the power of the Rejoicing Sword Sutra’s Pulling Galaxies.
Then——
Boom!
It was as if that slash tore the dome of heaven asunder and the galaxy were pouring into the world below, breaking free of the bounds of space, intent on cleansing the human realm.
However, this “river of stars” was actually formed of countless flecks of sword qi.
This strike contained a tenth of Su Yi’s former peak cultivation. How could this attack’s accumulated power possibly compare to when he’d used it before?
Strictly speaking, this was his first time displaying the full, true profundities of Pulling Galaxies since his reincarnation.
I have a sword to pull down galaxies, overturning heaven and earth and shaking the mortal world!
In that?moment, all everyone saw was a boundless sea of white.
No matter how strong the Emperors’ souls and minds were, the inestimable power of this sword intent left them shaken.
Even the distant Cui Chang’an and the old monsters felt their hearts shake uncontrollably, and they felt an unprecedented sense of insignificance.
And when that slash descended——
Boom!
The Emperors’ attacks fell apart like paper mache.
Then, sword intent swept outward like a river of stars, creating an apocalyptic scene of destruction.
Unwilling, miserable shrieks and terrified shouts of despair resounded within the rampaging destructive power and misty light.
When the dust settled, of the fourteen Emperors, only the four Profound Serenity experts remained.
The others had vanished, erased completely; not even corpses remained.
And the four survivors looked incomparably miserable. All were severely injured.
Half of Qu Changhen’s body had already been destroyed. Hong Zhiwen repeatedly coughed up blood, and many of his numerous wounds were so deep that his bones were visible.
Tantai Ye was the worst. His body had already been destroyed. All that remained of him was a severely battered primordial spirit.
Fei Yanzhi’s wounds were relatively light. Even so, she was as white as a sheet, and her qi was in disarray and on the verge of collapse.
When they saw this, the Cui Family experts, the distant Cui Chang’an, and the old monsters were all dazed.
The first slash slew seven Emperors, breaking through their joint attacks. contemporary romance
The second flash killed all but the four Profound Serenity existences, but even they were badly injured!
How terrifyingly strong did one have to be to display such power?
Qu Changhen and his companions were terrified and on the brink of despair.
They’d come here full of momentum, ready to take advantage of the Cui Family’s weakness. They’d assumed that after tonight, the Cui Family would disappear from this world.
Who’d have thought they’d bring such a disaster upon themselves before even breaking through the Cui Family’s formation?
Who was that person?
Why was he so terrifyingly strong?
Why hadn’t they heard that such an unparalleled expert had appeared in the Netherworld?
All manner of thoughts raced through their heads.
Clang!
Before they could overcome their astonishment, the clear hum of a sword reverberated through the sky.
It was accompanied by a swath of dazzling, illusory sword qi.
Qu Changhen, Hong Wenzhi, and Tantai Ye were like lambs to the slaughter. They didn’t even have time to resist before the sword qi eliminated them where they stood.
Only Fei Yanzhi remained, standing there like a mud statue, as if overcome with shock.
From beginning to end, Su Yi attacked just three times.
It was all over in just three snaps of the finger!
Fourteen Emperors of four prominent, ancient factions had joined forces. Now, only one person remained!
How tyrannical was that? And how forceful? It was as if a god of the sword had descended, cutting through Emperors like an axe through rotten wood!!
Cui Chang’an, Xue Huaning, and the higher-ups of the Cui Family watched in a daze. A long time passed before they returned to their senses.
Even further away, the thin old man, the Tianji Yao Empress, and the others shook. Irrepressible awe and astonishment appeared on their faces.
Fei Kongdong slumped in despondency, feeling conflicted. He wasn’t sure whether to celebrate or curse his misfortune.
Although Su Yi had spared Fei Yanzhi’s life, he’d killed the two Denglong Emperors accompanying her without the slightest politeness!
How could Fei Kongdong not?regret this outcome? If he’d only warned Fei Yanzhi and the others earlier, they could have retreated earlier.
Meanwhile, after killing Qu Changhen and the others, Su Yi disappeared.
….
The ruins of the Bureau of Adjudication.
Boom!
The Dark Vassal’s black robes billowed as he activated the seal and relentlessly attacked the formation.
“Old Block, this is bad! We have to retreat!” said the Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow with unprecedented solemnity.
Although the battle at the Cui Family estate had happened far, far away, the crow had nonetheless keenly sensed numerous utterly shocking scenes.
The world’s cultivators paled at the mere mention of this inauspicious bird’s name, but it now felt indescribable terror and anxiety.
“I’ve waited countless years already. This time, I cannot give up!” said the Dark Vassal in a hoarse voice. He sounded determined to disregard his own survival.
The Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow was frantic, but just as it was about to say something…
A tall figure appeared in the distant darkness, as if by teleportation.
