First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1641 - They Aren’t Worthy!



Chapter 1641 - They Aren’t Worthy!

Yu Sheng had decided to keep fighting!

The immortals were in uproar. All of them were full of eagerness.

Except for Madam Xiangyun, who looked deeply concerned. Yu Sheng’s earlier display of strength had put the demons on guard. They were sure to send someone strong out next.

And that was all but certain to endanger Yu Sheng!

As expected, over in the demons’ camp, Yin Xiaotian said coldly, “Feng Chi, go test that woman!”

“Very well!” A thin man in silver robes stepped forth.

Feng Chi.

He was a Wind Ray Demon, and he was one of the strongest Demon Nobles participating in this battle!

Kccch!

As soon as he appeared, Feng Chi blurred into a streak of light, like an unpredictably surging gale, and charged at Yu Feng. His speed was simply startling and unheard of.

That wasn’t all. His secret arts were extraordinarily strange and terrifying. The entire battlefield was turbulent and chaotic. Raging gales ripped through the skies, shattering everything around them.

Feng Chi was like a raging gale himself, flickering in and out of view, disappearing as soon as he appeared. It was almost impossible to catch him.

His attacks were terrifying too. He was like an assassin hidden in the wind, undetectable until he struck with lethal force.

His strength was so terrifying that the Immortal Lords broke out in cold sweats, and their hearts palpitated with fright.

Even the Immortal Kings looked solemn.

Feng Chi’s strength was obviously even more terrifying than Jin Zhong's or Fu Xuesheng’s!

Yu Sheng dared not get complacent in the face of such an onslaught. She struck with full force.

Blue clouds of the Grand Dao bloomed around her, forming a perfectly round barrier that neutralized the fierce gales.

But Feng Chi’s attacks were utterly terrifying. They fell like a raging downpour, covering every inch of ground. There was nothing they couldn’t reach.

Within seconds, Yu Sheng’s blue clouds split, and she found herself on the passive.

Despite this, she kept a clear head, and she fought steadily. Nothing slipped past her. No matter the wind and waves, she stood tall and firm!

Boom!

The battlefield was in chaos. Fierce gales ran rampant. The battle was as intense as could be. Everyone’s hearts jumped just watching it.

“It’s hard to say how this will end...” Su Yi’s brow furrowed. He’d slain numerous Demon Sovereigns in his past life, and millions of lesser demons. He saw through Feng Chi’s abilities at a glance, down to the nature of his talent, foundations, cultivation base, and even the abilities he was using.

When he compared the two combatants, Su Yi concluded that Yu Sheng... was most likely to lose!

Su Yi’s heart sank at this realization. He sighed to himself. I hope I’m wrong!

Unfortunately, as if to prove his judgment accurate, Yu Sheng’s injuries quickly piled on. Fierce gales full of destructive power tore into her, leaving bloody gashes all over her skin. Her delicate frame was smeared red with blood, and her long hair was disheveled. Her face was deathly pale and translucent.

The immortals couldn’t help but sweat on her behalf. All of them were deeply concerned.

Feng Chi was injured too, but his wounds were less severe.

Boom!

A heaven-shaking impact rang out.

Countless blue clouds of the Grand Dao exploded around Yu Sheng. The impact injured her badly, and blood splattered the air.

Cries of alarm rang out. Madam Xiangyun clenched her jade-like fists. She was more nervous than ever before. Frantic concern was written all over her face.

“Die!” An icy bellow rang out as Feng Chi transformed into a raging gale and struck with momentum so grand as to blanket heaven and earth.

Wherever the winds passed, heaven and earth were ripped to shreds, and the sky was sliced to ribbons.

Yu Sheng was already badly injured. She was like a single blade of grass in a hurricane. A single strike could end her life in an instant.

“This is bad!” The Immortal Kings looked stricken.

“Is she... about to lose?” The onlookers’ hearts were on tenterhooks.

“Yu Sheng!!” Madam Xiangyun lost control of herself and shot to her feet. The rims of her eyes reddened, and her eyes bulged.

In stark contrast, the demons of the Beyond looked excited. Who could have failed to realize that this battle would soon be over?

That woman, Yu Sheng, would soon be killed!

But it was then that Su Yi’s eyes silently lit up. He could sense that the astonishing latent potential inside Yu Sheng was about to burst forth!

Boom——!

Heaven and earth seemed to collapse as a flood of destructive power swept across the battlefield.

Yu Sheng was originally in dire straits, but now, she burst forth with astonishing might. Her vial energy rumbled and boomed, and countless arcs of divine radiance swept outward.

The raging windstorm collapsed into pieces.

And Feng Chi, the one hiding inside it, was run through. An arc of light pierced through his chest, splattering the sky with his blood as he roared in shock and agony.

“You...” Feng Chi was about to say something, but Yu Sheng was already attacking.

Her whole body was bleeding, and her skin was deathly pale, yet countless divine flames blazed around her. Her aura was as intense as the midday sun!

Boom!

She took a step through the air, then shot forth like a beam of flowing light.

Heaven and earth split like canvas, forming a massive, perfectly straight rift fully three hundred thousand feet long.

And Feng Chi was torn into pieces beneath it, exploding into bits!

Yu Sheng had reversed her all but certain doom and killed her opponent in a flash. It all happened so quickly that most of the onlookers couldn’t keep up with it all.

They watched in astonishment as Feng Chi exploded, splattering the air with flesh and blood.

She won?

It had seemed as if Yu Sheng were doomed. Who’d have thought she’d turn things around?

The demons’ smiles froze in place, while the immortals’ eyes widened and their jaws hung slack.

Even Madam Xiangyun stood there in a daze.

Only Su Yi smiled, raised his jug of wine, and drank with relish. This is a true deathmatch! They’ve never lacked for surprises!

Just when it seems you’ve hit a dead end, you can find another path to new hope!

Yu Sheng stood on the battlefield, coughing up blood. Her delicate frame was badly injured, and she was completely drenched in blood. She looked incomparably wretched.

But she was still alive! She’d won this battle for the Immortal Realm!

In the crowd’s eyes, this Immortal Lady of Clear Plain Academy shone as radiantly as the sun!

“Yu Sheng, hurry back!” Madam Xiangyun cried out urgently. Her face was full of heartache at Yu Sheng’s injuries and delight at her survival.

Yu Sheng nodded and turned to leave.

“Hmph! She only won twice. I dare say with certainty that the Immortal Realm cannot turn this situation around. Your defeat is assured!” one of the Demon Kings snorted coldly.

Much of the immortals’ delight instantly dissipated. It was true. At this stage of the Immortal-Demon Deathmatch, the Immortal Realm’s camp had already lost four combatants. Yu Sheng had won twice, but she was badly injured, and she had no choice but to leave the battlefield for now.

As for the demons? They’d only lost two combatants, and a third was merely injured. Furthermore, their strongest, most terrifying expert had yet to step onto the battlefield.

Yin Beiwu still disdained to take action!

Su Yi disregarded all that and took out a jade slip, which he passed to Pei Hongjing. “This jade slip contains a method that will cure Yu Sheng’s Dao Wounds.”

Pei Hongjing was briefly stunned. A moment later, he hurriedly accepted the slip, gave it to Madam Xiangyun, and passed on Su Yi’s message.

Madam Xiangyun couldn’t help but be impressed. She took a deep look at SuYi and said, “Many thanks, Fellow Daoist!”

Su Yi waved but said nothing.

When Yu Sheng saw the slip, she was unwittingly stunned.

Despite her victory, she wasn’t all that joyful. She’d paid a grievous price to defeat Feng Chi. Her body and soul were badly damaged, and on top of all that, she had almost incurable Dao Wounds! She knew that even if she survived the Immortal Demon Deathmatch, they’d have an enormous impact on her future prospects!

Yet now, Su Yi, a young Universe Realm Immortal, had given her a way to treat her Dao Wounds. How could she not be surprised?

After seeing the Spiritual Void Origin-Replenishing Sutra recorded in the slip, Yu Sheng’s eyes lit up with excitement and delight.

“Many thanks, Fellow Daoist!” Yu Sheng transmitted with gratitude.

Su Yi smiled. “You earned this. Rest for now. Although the Immortal-Demon Deathmatch has yet to end, you needn’t worry about it.”

Yu Sheng froze, stunned. She could hear the absolute self-confidence in Su Yi’s voice.

Madam Xiangyun and Pei Hongjing couldn’t help but see Su Yi in a new light. They found him increasingly mysterious and unfathomable.

It was now time for the Immortal Realm’s sixth combatant to enter the battlefield. He was a man with a prominent mustache, steely features, and eyes that flashed like cold lightning.

His name was Zhang Lin, and he was a peak Immortal Lord from the Origin Transformation Daoist Sect, an Immortal Lord faction.

He’d volunteered to participate in the Immortal-Demon Deathmatch of his own accord!

But against all expectations, now that it was his turn to fight, he refused to do battle!

All of a sudden, the crowd was in uproar.

The Immortal Kings furiously rebuked Zhang Lin.

The demons of the Beyond burst into mocking laughter. They were making fun of the entire Immortal Realm!

Everyone in the Seventh Gate of Heaven turned their wrath on Zhang Lin.

Fleeing from battle now wasn’t a simple matter of losing face. It would bring shame upon the entire Immortal Realm!

Garrison Master Shen Qingshi couldn’t help but be furious. He said coldly, “Why do you refuse to fight? Have you lost your nerve?”

But Zhang Lin faced Shen Qingshi’s questions without fear. He said with conviction, “I’m not afraid to die, but I refuse to fight!”

He swept his gaze across the crowd and roared, revealing his pent-up hatred and fury. “‘Fighting on behalf of the people of the Immortal Realm?’ Hah! That’s nothing but dog farts!

“We Immortal Lords are fighting to the death, yet the people of the City of Ten Thousand Stars are delightedly gambling over our lives and deaths. What... do you people take us for?

“The worst part is, practically all of you are betting on our failure. You want to use our deaths to turn an ample profit!”

His eyes were bloodshot, and he was overcome with fury. Even his voice was raspy.

“I refuse to fight and die for people like that! They aren’t worthy!”

He spoke slowly and clearly, as if venting his long-accumulated fury. Every word went off like a thunderclap.

The atmosphere was instantly deathly silent.

The crowd exchanged glances. They finally understood why Zhang Lin refused to fight. So, that’s why!
