First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1546 - Taking Action

It would have been obvious to anyone that Wen Yuanming had lost.

And badly at that!

It was to the point that despite being a proud, contemptuous, unrivaled young genius, he had no choice but to admit defeat!

The entire area was so quiet that you could have heard a pin drop.

A’Ning’s heart shook. She couldn’t have been any more astonished.

Prior to Su Yi stepping onto the stage, she’d taken Su Yi for someone she needed to protect. Now, she suddenly realized how far off her assumptions had been!

Everything I did earlier must have seemed ridiculous to him... A’Ning thought with a self-deprecating chuckle.

But she wasn’t upset about this. On the contrary, she was incomparably excited and happy.

Everything Su Yi had done had been for the sake of helping her vent!

It hadn’t been long since Wen Yuanming had crushed her beneath his feet, but now, Su Yi had left him sprawled out on the ground like a dead dog!

“Big Sister, just how strong is Big Brother Su?” murmured A’Li. She was bewildered, as if her perception of reality had been repeatedly overturned. She couldn’t imagine how powerful Su Yi was.

A’Ning couldn’t answer her.

Su Yi had seemed far too relaxed even when defeating Wen Yuanming. It was as if the province’s top young World King were a clay chicken or porcelain dog; Su Yi obviously hadn’t used his full strength.

Ma Xingkong and the others fell silent too, as did Qian Yu and most of the audience.

This battle had been far too shocking. It was to the point that no one could find accurate words to describe their emotions.

“Stop already——!” someone roared.

It was the ornately dressed old man from the Falling Cloud Immortal Sect’s camp.

All eyes were instantly upon Su Yi.

“Ah, right,” said Su Yi. With that, he kicked Wen Yuanming off the platform.

Bang!

Before Wen Yuanming hit the ground, his physical body exploded with a spray of blood. Only his soul remained.

Everyone watched in horror and disbelief. Su Yi had just destroyed Wen Yuanming’s physical body! Even if he recovered, this would severely affect his vitality and affect his future cultivation!

“Su Yi, you’re ruthless!” Wen Yuanming’s soul body hissed and shot him a hideous glare.

“I only spared your life out of consideration for the rules,” Su Yi said with understated calm. “Any more noise out of you, and don’t blame me for forgetting the rules.”

Wen Yuanming was so angry that his soul body quivered, but out of sheer terror for Su Yi, he dared not utter another word. He just turned and left.

The crowd watched with visibly conflicted looks on their faces.

Wen Yuanming’s crushing defeat hadn’t just damaged his reputation. What “invincible genius among World Kings?” What “greatest of the Jing Province’s ten young elites?”

All of his dazzling accolades had effectively disappeared in a puff of smoke.

“Answer me. Have I successfully completed my challenge?” Su Yi looked at the old man in black.

The old man’s expression was unsightly. “That depends on whether anyone else accepts your challenge.”

When Su Yi first took the stage, he harshly rebuked him. He figured that Su Yi’s challenge was doomed to failure, and that he’d never leave here alive.

Everything that had happened since was like a slap to the face, leaving his cheeks red and stinking.

Su Yi scanned the area. “Fair enough. Who else wants to fight me?”

No one dared answer. Deathly silence descended over the area. None of the prominent young participants dared meet Su Yi’s gaze.

There was no need for the Northern Frost Sword Sect to make a proclamation. A higher-up of the Violet Heavens Divine Palace stood up and smiled. “Congratulations on your successful challenge, my young friend!”

Several other higher-ups followed suit, standing to greet Su Yi.

A shocking dark horse had appeared in this year’s Seven Stars Immortal Assembly. The other immortal factions were impressed, and all of them admired his talent. Many had even started considering how best to rope Su Yi in.

“Why didn’t anyone tell me that moocher was actually a hidden genius?” Ma Xingkong looked at the other Jade Firmament Immortal Sect higher-ups. “If I cast aside all concern for my reputation, do you think we’ll be able to recruit him?”

The crowd looked at each other, but no one answered.

It’s like they swallowed a fart! Chang Lexing laughed to himself. Who could have forgotten how Ma Xingkong staunchly disavowed all connection to Su Yi when he first announced his challenge?

Ma Xingkong looked at A’Ning. “If you can recruit Su Yi to our sect, I’ll be sure to give you credit upon our return!”

A’Ning ignored this completely.

Ma Xingkong was instantly embarrassed, and his old face was overcast. He instantly set aside all such thoughts.

“Does that mean I can take the prize for first place?” asked Su Yi.

Numerous higher-ups smiled and nodded. “That’s right!”

“Good. When the curtains fall on this assembly, have the prize sent to disciple A’Ning of the Jade Firmament Immortal Sect,” said Su Yi.

He then left the platform and approached the Northern Frost Immortal Sect. “Which one of you is Sun Yunqi? Come on out!”

The crowd gasped. They were totally bewildered. What’s he up to this time?

Only A’Ning and A’Li understood. The sisters’ hearts quivered as they recalled what Su Yi had said a few days prior——

“I’ll help you vent!”

It was just...

Neither of the sisters would have guessed that just a few days later, Su Yi really would declare war against Elder Sun Yunqi of the Northern Frost Sword Sect!

Meanwhile, everyone instinctively looked at the same person, a seated man in long robes. This was none other than Sun Yunqi!

Su Yi’s demand made Sun Yunqi’s expression darken, and he bristled with anger. “Young man, are you sick of living?”

Deathly, stifled silence fell.

“Calm down. Let’s ask what he wants first,” said a white-robed old man with an otherworldly air about him.

Zhan Changhu!

He was a high elder of the Northern Frost Sword Sect, a Universe Realm Immortal!

He was the only immortal present at this Seven Stars Immortal Assembly, and he was tasked with overseeing the situation.

“My young friend, has Elder Sun Yunqi perhaps offended you?” Zhan Changhu rose, and the majestic aura of a Universe Realm Immortal spread outward. The crowd fell as silent as cicadas in winter.

His sheer majesty left even the Transcendent higher-ups’ hearts quivering with fright. None of them dared speak.

Only Su Yi didn’t seem to notice anything. He just continued his approach; he couldn’t be bothered to explain.

He just said, “Once I’ve taught the old bastard a lesson, go ahead and ask him.”

The crowd gasped. Su Yi had just called Sun Yunqi an old bastard to Zhan Changhu’s face! And he was even going to “teach him a lesson!”

“Is that kid... insane?” murmured Ma Xingkong.

The others were stunned too. They found this difficult to believe.

“Young man, don’t you think you’re being overly brazen?” Zhan Changhu’s expression darkened. He was so furious that he laughed.

He was a lofty immortal, and he’d spoken amiably and politely. That was already a show of face.

Who’d have thought this young man would be so arrogant as to disregard him completely?

“Brazen?” Su Yi’s brow furrowed slightly. He sighed, “I’ve already held back a lot...”

As he spoke, he pressed off the ground and shot toward Sun Yunqi.

“Stop!” Zhan Changhu was thoroughly enraged. He swung his arm and pressed down.

When an immortal was angry, heaven and earth changed color. His terrifying majesty alone filled countless onlookers’ faces with horror.

When Zhan Changhu’s palm strike descended, dazzling Laws of the Immortal Dao interwove, forming a divine mountain that bore down on Su Yi, intent on suppressing him! “I gave you face, but you refused it!”

Su Yi snorted coldly, pressed his fingers into a sword, and slashed the air. The divine mountain split on impact.

A rain of light scattered, and Su Yi swung his sleeves and attacked.

Boom!

Sword qi descended from the heavens, slamming into Zhan Changhu and sending the Universe Realm Immortals flying.

He flew several hundred feet before managing to steady himself. His aged face was full of horror, and his complexion alternated white and green.

The sight provoked a series of gasps from the onlookers. Everyone was so startled that their jaws practically fell off. He forced an immortal back, just like that?

That’s simply shocking!

Even though Su Yi had suppressed Wen Yuanming earlier, everyone still took him for a “mere” World King.

Who’d have thought this young man could force an immortal back with a swing of his sleeves?

The Northern Frost Sword Sect’s camp was in chaos. Everyone looked on in astonishment.

Especially Sun Yunqi, who was so terrified that his soul practically left his body. A chill coursed down his spine. Where the hell did this monster come from?

But before he could give the matter any further thought, Su Yi appeared out of nowhere and seized him by the throat, his gaze distant and calm. “They say that those who humiliate others will be humiliated in turn. Have you heard that saying?”

Sun Yunqi’s eyes flashed with rage and alarm. “What... What are you going to do?”

Su Yi laughed. “I’m going to humiliate you.”

Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, Su Yi carried Sun Yunqi and shot toward the Jade Firmament Immortal Sect’s camp.

“You’re seeking death!” Zhan Changhu shouted, his murderous intent shaking the air as he drew upon his full strength. His palm descended, and immortal light spread out, blanketing the skies and obscuring the sun. It was terrifying beyond limit.

“Scram.” Su Yi raised his left hand and struck the air, as if beating a drum.

Bang!!!

Zhan Changhu arrived quickly, and left even more quickly. Su Yi’s punch sent him directly flying. The immortal light defending him exploded, and the impact left him with heavy injuries.

But he was still alive, because as of yet, Su Yi had only recovered around ten percent of his strength. At his peak, even a strike like that could have destroyed a Universe Realm immortal with ease. Not even Void Realm True Immortals would have gotten off unscathed!

“Isn’t he... isn’t he a bit too strong?”

Everyone felt as if they were going insane.

The first time he sent an immortal flying might have been a fluke.

But what about the second time? How could that possibly have been a fluke?

As the crowd watched in astonishment, Su Yi carried Sun Yunqi over to the Jade Firmament Immortal Sect’s camp.

“Su Yi, you... you... what do you want to do?” Ma Xingkong and the others jumped like startled rabbits, instantly on guard.

“Kneel.” Su Yi pushed Sun Yunqi to the ground.

Crunch! Crack!

Sun Yunqi’s kneecaps shattered, and blood poured down his legs. He started to scream, only for Su Yi to seal him so thoroughly that he couldn’t make a sound.

“How do you feel?” Su Yi asked gently as he looked at A’Ning and A’Li.

Both sisters stood there in a daze. Everything that had happened didn’t feel real; it was as if they were dreaming.

Su Yi had forced a Transcendent to the ground, just like that. Even Transcendent higher-ups like Ma Xingkong felt their hair stand on end just watching.

Every last one of them was so startled that they dared not even breathe too hard.
