First Immortal of the Sword

Bang!!!

Qing Wu’s fiery red whip was blocked, and it returned to her without doing any damage.

The group frowned. Fan Zhui had forcefully drawn upon his Great Unity Stage cultivation base. He’d obviously thrown all caution to the wind.

Unfortunately for him, this wasn’t enough to threaten them.

Jin Zhuliu took out a talisman sword, which descended on Fan Zhui from afar. It was a divine treasure covered in secret talisman markings carved by a god. When used, it erupted with a calamitous aura terrifying beyond measure.

Fan Zhui blocked with all his might, but he was still sent flying backward. Blood spurted from his mouth and nose.

“Brother Jin, hurry up and put away that treasure. It isn’t worth using up your killer weapon just to kill a servant,” said Gongyang Yu. He thought Jin Zhuliu was overdoing it.

Jin Zhuliu smiled and put away the talisman sword. “True enough. Now that he was foolish enough to use his Great Unity Stage cultivation, the Laws of the Dragon Palace will be enough to crush him!”

As he spoke, he gazed into the dome of heaven.

The others sensed it too. A strange, unsettling power of the Laws had gathered, and it ruthlessly descended upon Fan Zhui.

Its aura alone was enough to send chills down the divine children’s backs. It was just too strange and unsettling. They didn’t even need to think to know that in Fan Zhui’s shoes, they would have struggled to defend themselves against this terrifying suppression of the Laws!

Dying beneath the Laws of heaven and earth isn’t such a bad way to go… Fan Zhui sensed the terrifying power of heaven descending upon him and silently closed his eyes.

But then, a large hand grabbed him, flashed through the air, and avoided the descending power of the Laws right in the nick of time.

Hm?

Fan Zhui was stunned. He opened his eyes and saw a familiar face.

Fan Zhui recognized his savior at a glance. He couldn't help but blurt, “What are you doing here?”

It was Li Xuanjun!

“Hurry up and suppress your cultivation base. Leave the rest to me,” Su Yi said calmly.

“Why…Why would you do this? How is this any different from throwing your life away?” Fan Zhui was stunned.

There was no bond between him and Su Yi. On the contrary, he’d always been on guard against “Li Xuanjun,” as he suspected he had ulterior motives for approaching Xi Ning.

He would never have guessed that Li Xuanjun would appear at a critical juncture and save him from otherwise certain doom!

Is this guy seriously not afraid to die?

But despite his confusion, Fan Zhui couldn’t help but feel warmth and gratitude.

“Throwing my life away?” Su Yi laughed. “You’re going to have to apologize and take that back soon.”

“...” Fan Zhui fell silent.

“Enough. Just stand there and watch the battle,” Su Yi said softly.

Meanwhile, Jin Zhuliu, Gongyang Yu, Qing Wu, and the others were briefly stunned. A moment later, all of them lit up with delight.

Li Xuanjun!! I can’t believe he delivered himself to us of his own accord!

All of them instantly locked onto Su Yi with their divine senses.

“Aiyo, I wouldn’t have guessed it, but you’re quite a righteous fellow, aren’t you?” laughed Jin Zhuliu.

The divine children were in no rush to attack. They spread out, each covering their respective directions. In the blink of an eye, they’d sealed Su Yi’s escape routes off completely.

“We have to be careful. Qin Jianshu suffered a massive setback at this guy’s hands. Even his subordinate, Xue Kuiyin, died of divine misfortune.” Gongyang Yu’s eyes flashed with divine radiance and barely concealed murderous intent.

“Seems to me that it’d be best if we could resolve this peacefully. After all, it would be troublesome if Li Xuanjun turns out to be a tough nut to crack and decides he’d rather die than submit,” Qing Wu said slowly.

Indeed, this was why they hadn’t attacked immediately. They weren’t afraid of Li Xuanjun. Rather, they were afraid they’d kill him. If that happened, all the hard work they’d put into their plans would go to waste!

“Li Xuanjun, agree to join us, and we promise to let Fan Zhui leave alive. Moreover, we’ll share any good fortune we acquire on the road ahead,” said Jin Zhuliu with a smile. “What do you say?”

Numerous others gathered in the distance, all of them prominent experts of Floating Mountain, Penglai Immortal Island, the Kui Ox Spirit Race, and other prominent factions of the Eastern Sea.

When they arrived, they spread across the surrounding area, thoroughly encircling Su Yi.

But it was as if Su Yi didn’t even see them. He just smiled and said, “How about this? I’ll make you an offer instead. If you submit to me, I promise you a chance to leave the ruins of the Dragon Palace alive.”

“???” The crowd was baffled. Uproarious laughter ensued.

The divine children exchanged glances. They almost suspected they were hearing things.

“I just knew it! When dealing with an ignorant, arrogant fool like him, you ought to strike like lightning and suppress him. Even if he’s stubborn, with our abilities, we can force him to lower his head in submission!” Gongyang Yu snorted coldly and took a step forward.

He was tall, gaunt, and dressed in ornate robes. He carried a golden treasure tower on his outstretched palm, and his murderous intent swept forth like the tide, blanketing heaven and earth.

The surrounding skies wailed and shook.

“Very well. I’ll just have to trouble you to suppress him, Daoist Brother.” Qing Wu grinned. “Just be careful not to follow in Qin Jianshu’s footsteps.”

Gongyang Yu frowned. “I’m no Qin Jianshu!”

Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, his golden treasure tower activated and descended.

Boom!

The golden treasure tower expanded to a thousand feet tall. Its entire surface was bathed in endless golden light, and it descended through the sky, shaking the surrounding mountains and rivers. Heaven and earth dimmed.

The terrifying power of this attack could have easily crushed other experts of the Great Martial Stage.

Jin Zhuliu and Qing Wu inwardly nodded their approval. They could tell that Gongyang Yu wasn’t holding back. He’d struck with unstoppable force right from the start. He wasn’t going to give Li Xuanjun any chance to even struggle!

Meanwhile, Fan Zhui looked stricken. Even before he was injured, he couldn’t have blocked such a strike!

But then, Su Yi took a step forward and threw a punch through the air.

Boom!!!

The golden light filling the sky shattered, and the descending golden treasure tower was sent flying backward with a deafening wail.

Gongyang Yu’s pupils constricted. He swayed on his feet as the impact reached him.

Su Yi disappeared out of thin air, only to appear in front of Gongyang Yu a moment later. He threw another punch, quick as a beam of light and sudden as a thunderclap!

Gongyang Yu was an expert of the Great Profound Stage. Even with his cultivation base suppressed to the Great Martial Stage, he was far beyond most experts of that level.

In the face of this sudden punch, he raised his arms to defend himself and pressed down with his feet, shooting forward like an arrow loosed from a bow.

As he flew through the air, he instantly gathered his power in his arms and struck like mad.

Bang!!!

The two of them clashed, and the sky abruptly collapsed on impact.

Fierce currents of destructive power swept outward. Gongyang Yu was like a divine mountain in motion, yet he was ruthlessly forced back.

His face paled, and his expression filled with disbelief. What terrifying power! He’s seriously an Immortal King?

But Su Yi didn’t give him any chance to react, let alone to catch his breath. He stuck to Gongyang Yu like a shadow and attacked once more.

Domineering, tyrannical, and quick as lightning!

A rapid-fire series of explosive impacts rang out. Within just a few blinks of an eye, Su Yi and Gongyang Yu clashed over a hundred times, repeatedly forcing Gongyang Yu back. That tyrannical, domineering fist force shattered Gongyang Yu’s defensive power, leaving fist-shaped indentations in his body. His skin ripped open, leaving his flesh an indistinct meaty pulp.

In the end, Su Yi twisted at the waist and his hand descended like a whip, smashing into Gongyang Yu’s shoulder.

Crunch!

Bang!!!

Gongyang Yu’s scapula shattered and broke, and he shot through the air and slammed into the ground like a shooting star, forming a massive crater. His face was covered in dust, and his body was covered in blood.

He was badly injured!

Su Yi’s onslaught was relentless and unstoppable. Gongyang Yu couldn’t even fight back!

This tyrannical, forceful scene drew gasps from everyone watching. The Immortal Kings from the factions of the Eastern Sea were totally tongue-tied, as if they’d seen a ghost.

Qing Wu and Jin Zhuliu looked stricken. He’s an Immortal King, yet he one-sidedly suppressed Gongyang Yu!

From beginning to end, Gongyang Yu failed to turn the tides. He’d even been badly injured!

Qing Wu and Jin Zhuliu were stunned, and they found this hard to believe. Had Gongyang Yu gotten complacent? He hadn’t! He’d used the Tower of Endless Golden Radiance right from the start, and he’d struck with unstoppable force.

But it still wasn’t enough!

This proved that Li Xuanjun was strong enough to suppress Great Martial Stage experts!!!

“That guy… is seriously this ferocious?” Fan Zhui’s heart had been on tenterhooks moments prior, but now, his eyes widened. Confusion was written all over his face.

As the crowd watched in astonishment, Su Yi shifted on his feet, appeared on the ground, and charged at Gongyang Yu once more.

Qing Wu’s heart clenched, but just as she was about to go to his aid, Jin Zhuliu said, “Don’t worry. Brother Gongyang isn’t so easily suppressed.”

Indeed, it was just as she said. Before her voice had even finished echoing through the air, Gongyang Yu streaked into the air like an arc of divine light. He now gripped a dazzling silver knife.

It was thin and only about half a foot long. Its entire surface was covered in strange, inscrutable markings. When Gongyang Yu thrust it, silver light ripped through the dome of heaven. Everyone watching felt a sharp pain in their hearts and minds.

The Spirit Firmament Knife!

A secret treasure refined by a god. It was similar to a divine talisman in that it was emblazoned with taboo divine power. It was also similar in that, once activated, it would expend its stored power, and it could never be used again.

“Die!” Gongyang Yu roared in fury and swung the knife. Taboo destructive power burst Su Yi’s offensive, forcing him backward.

Qing Wu and Jin Zhuliu’s spirits soared. Both of them grinned. They recognized the Spirit Firmament Knife, and knew that Gongyang Yu’s injuries had thoroughly infuriated him.

Li Xuanjun… is about to lose!

“Be careful! That’s a god-level secret treasure!” Fan Zhui frantically called out a warning.

But Su Yi wasn’t at all concerned.

On the contrary, a mocking grin tugged at his lips. “He can’t cut it with his own strength, so he can only rely on external items. Someone so worthless cannot possibly threaten me.”

“What did you just say!?” Gong Yangyu practically went mad with fury. He shot through the air and charged at Su Yi.

Weng!

The Spirit Firmament Knife produced a strange buzzing, and its edge vibrated. Countless intricate divine Dao Markings surged forth and fell like rain.

When Gongyang Yu thrust the knife with all his might, that taboo, terrifying power made even Jin Zhuliu and Ging Wu shrink back for fear of the aftershock reaching them.

Su Yi didn’t retreat. Instead, he leaped ahead and stretched out his right arm. His fingers simply wrapped around the blade and twisted.

Crunch!

The divine treasure shattered, inch by inch.

Gongyang Yu was so astonished that his eyes practically popped out of their sockets, and his mind went blank.

That… That was a god-level secret treasure! How could an Immortal King possibly have destroyed it?
