Chapter 1230 - Go Ahead! Hit Me!
Su Yi and Meng Changyun conversed as if no one else was there.
When the man in jade-colored robes heard Su Yi guide Meng Changyun’s breakthrough, he almost thought he was hearing things.
That was ludicrous enough already, but even more ridiculous was that the old World King looked excited and joyful.
“Senior, as you can see, they don’t appreciate your good intentions at all!” Tie Ying couldn’t help but say indignantly.
The man in jade-colored robes said softly, “I’m fully aware that you’re just trying to stir up trouble, but I’m truly... displeased.”
He turned around to look at Su Yi, his eyes narrowing into slits. “Little fellow, how about you instruct me, too?”
He was nothing but smiles, and his tone was casual.
But the implications of his words made the old man in Daoist robes shudder despite the absence of cold. He inwardly cried out, This is bad!
If that World King bears a grudge against us, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Su Yi smiled too. He said to Meng Changyun, “Step aside for now.”
“Understood!” Meng Changyun obediently stepped back. When he looked at the man in jade-colored robes, an irrepressible hint of pity appeared in his gaze.
“Oh? You really plan to instruct me, you spoiled rich boy?” The man in jade-colored robes seemed quite surprised.
Su Yi rolled up his sleeves and said casually, “I wouldn’t call it ‘instructing you,’ but I can at least beat you until you weep and beg for your mommy and daddy.”
“Impudent!” shouted Tie Ying and the other kneeling Emperors.
“Step back.” The man in jade-colored robes waved them away, the depths of his gaze shining with cold luster.
Tie Ying and company hurriedly retreated.
“Come on then. Hit me!” The man in jade-colored robes pointed at himself, his face utterly mocking. “If you can’t make me cry for my mommy and daddy, I’ll have you cry for yours and call me ‘grandpa’ instead!”
“Oh?” said Su Yi. He stretched out his palm and pressed down on the air.
It was simple and direct, with no flourishes at all. It didn’t even have the barest trace of the charm of the Dao. Just a light, airy palm strike.
Tie Ying and the others almost couldn’t help but laugh.
Even the flowery moves of a mortal martial artist were likely stronger than that!
But in the face of this palm strike——
The jade-robed man’s jeer froze in place, and his pupils constricted. He felt an intense, lethal threat bearing down on him.
As if the curtain of heaven were descending, and he were as paltry and insignificant as an ant. His heart and soul were both under terrifying suppression.
Practically instinctively, he blocked with everything he had. His hands formed seals and pressed the air in front of him.
Bang!!!
The dazzling crimson power of the Laws burst from his hands, like a miniature blazing sun hurtling through the air.
Fierce beyond measure.
But before the power of this palm stroke could spread, it was suppressed. Never mind shaking Su Yi’s palm, it couldn’t even cancel out so much as a drop of its power.
The jade-robed man’s expression shifted. He was so startled that his soul practically left his body. Is it possible for an Emperor to possess such power?
“I might be beating you up, but I can’t destroy the courtyard,” laughed Su Yi. As he spoke, he casually pressed down.
Bang!
It was as if a divine mountain were weighing down the jade-robed man’s head. His knees slammed to the ground.
Even more humiliatingly, as he knelt, some kind of power protected the ground, and his kneecaps almost cracked on impact. He staggered, then almost fell on his face, like a dog eating shit.
The entire area fell deathly silent.
“Ah!??” Tie Ying and the other Emperors were so startled that their jaws practically fell off. They were left wide-eyed and tongue-tied. What... What’s going on!?
He suppressed a World King in a single palm strike!?
The old man in Daoist robes was dumbstruck, and his heart and soul quivered.
Back at the city gates, he witnessed Su Yi’s strength as he slew those three Emperors. He was naturally well aware that the young Emperor who called himself Shen Mu was terrifyingly powerful.
That was why he’d called him “senior” this entire time.
Still, even if you’d beaten him over the head, the old man in Daoist robes would never have guessed that Shen Mu wasn’t relying on his old servant after all. No, he was relying on his own strength!
One palm, and he’d forced a World King to kneel. How terrifying was that?
Qing Wan excitedly waved her fist in the air. That guy deserves this beating!
The jade-robed man’s mind buzzed. He found this strike deeply humiliating.
It was his first time being so casually suppressed and forced to the ground! His handsome face flushed red, and his eyes blazed with fury.
“I’ll kill you!” He leaped into the air, drew that saber surrounded in flowing starlight, and attacked furiously.
Boom!
Starlight ran rampant, and saber qi boiled over.
Were the power of this slash to spread, everything within a hundred thousand feet would be reduced to ruin, let alone the courtyard.
But Su Yi struck like lightning. He gently pressed, then tapped the air.
The power of his palm seemed to blot out the sky, obscure the sun, and envelop everything in all directions. It forcefully suppressed the power of that saber slash.
And when Su Yi stretched out his finger and tapped——
Clang!!!
A deafening impact rang out. The jade-robed man’s saber wailed and flew violently from his grip.
It was as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body convulsed as if he were having a seizure, and he thudded to the ground. Throughout his body, his bones and tendons loosened.
The crowd’s eyes widened.
Earlier, the man in jade-colored robes’ combat prowess was overwhelming; all of them had witnessed it. With his early-stage Heavenly Longevity cultivation, he effortlessly suppressed the mid-stage Heavenly Longevity Meng Changyun.
Yet now, he seemed utterly pathetic, like a toy helpless to defend himself. He’d been suppressed twice in rapid succession!
He couldn’t resist at all!
Who wouldn’t have been stunned?
“Come on, let’s keep going.” Su Yi smiled and beckoned.
The man in jade-colored robes was ashamed and furious. His anger overwhelmed him, and he crawled to his feet, his entire body exploding with power. The dense, crimson power of his Laws interwove, illuminating the dome of heaven with its radiant, eye-catching hues.
Clang!
His right arm stretched out, and the saber forced from his grip flew back into his hand.
And his left hand drew the saber still hanging from his waist.
This saber was as black as ink, long, and thin. Wisps of icy, baleful radiance hovered around it.
“I’ll kill you!” The man in jade-colored robes roared in fury and swung his sabers.
Boom!
One saber burst with a waterfall of starlight, and the other emanated icy mist. The two intermingled and reflected each other, and their power suddenly soared.
“So, he was this strong all along...” Meng Changyun’s eyelids twitched. Inwardly, he was shaken.
There was no doubt about it; when the two of them fought, the man in jade-colored robes had held back his strength.
Otherwise, Meng Changyun would have lost even more quickly...
Su Yi stood there unmoving even in the face of this attack. He merely stretched out his palm.
Boom!
The Laws of Restricting the Profound burst forth, and the entire stretch of heaven and earth froze in place as if sealed.
And the jade-robed man’s twin saber slashes were suddenly under terrifying suppression. Both froze in place.
As if the scene had come to a complete stop.
A moment later, Su Yi flipped over his outstretched hand and pressed down.
Bang!
The man in jade-colored robes hit the ground once more, coughing up blood. His hair hung loose, and his entire body convulsed like an epileptic. Astonishment was written all over his face.
“This is impossible. You’re not an Emperor at all!” the man in jade-colored robes roared in fury.
Before, he’d been wantonly arrogant, his words mocking, and he put on the airs of a senior. He’d been aggressive to the extreme.
But now, he seemed far too wretched and unseemly.
To the point that it hurt to even look at him.
“It’s true that I’m not an Emperor, but the power I’m using is of the Imperial Realm. This... doesn’t count as using my cultivation boundary to suppress you, now does it?” Su Yi explained with a laugh.
The jade-robed man’s eyes bulged. “You call this Imperial Realm power? Who do you think you’re kidding?”
He was beside himself with anger, and so embarrassed that he wanted to die. How could he fail to realize that this young man was in no way a spoiled silkpants!?
Rather, he was a shameless, black-hearted old-timer pretending to be an Emperor to trick other people!
“Ignorant. Even in the Imperial Realm, my young lord had the strength to slay Heavenly Longevity Realm World Kings. What need does he have to deceive you?” Meng Changyun said coldly.
“I don’t believe it!” The man in jade-colored robes shouted, “I’ve spent years wandering the stars, and I’ve never even heard of such a person!”
It wasn’t just him. Even the old man in Daoist robes, Tie YIng, and the other Emperors were completely dumbstruck.
Killing a World King with Imperial Realm cultivation?
This was their first time hearing of such a thing. It was far too unbelievable!
“It doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not. Come on, let’s keep playing,” Su Yi chuckled.
That calm, composed bearing filled the jade-robed man with rage. “You really think I’ll lower my head? There’s no way!”
He leaped into the air and unleashed the strongest attack at his disposal.
But mere moments later, he was suppressed once more and sprawled pathetically on the ground, his skin splitting and gushing a non-stop flow of blood.
“I refuse to believe it!” The jade-robed man gnashed his teeth and hissed.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze was frenzied as he raised his hand and took out a black seal.
This was the killer weapon he had on him at all times. It was strong enough to severely injure even a Oneness World King!
But before the black Daoist seal could display its strength, Su Yi struck, as if he had precognition. He reached from afar, suppressed the seal, and took it for himself.
“????” The man in jade-colored robes didn’t know how to respond. His killer weapon had been stolen before it could unleash its power. He’d never faced anything like this before, and it left him completely dumbstruck and rooted to the spot.
Su Yi examined the black Daoist seal and said, “The Divine Fire Yin-Yang Talisman might be extraordinarily effective in an ambush, but to me, it isn’t even worth looking at.”
The man in jade-colored robes felt his hair stand on end. He was completely terrified. “Who... Who exactly are you!?”
By now, despite his anger muddling his head, he realized that the young man in blue was obviously no ordinary person!
“Who am I?” Su Yi thought for a moment. “Going by seniority, you’re not even qualified to be my grandson.”
“....” The man in jade-colored robes fell silent. A moment later, his eyes bulged, and he said slowly and clearly, “You can kill a man, but you shouldn’t humiliate him. Why must you treat me like this? Go ahead and kill me. See if I so much as frown!”
Su Yi looked amused. “What, you’re allowed to meddle in others’ business without so much as pausing to check who’s in the wrong, but other people aren’t allowed to hit you?”
The jade-robed man’s neck stiffened, and he pursed his lips.
Su Yi laughed dryly. “Besides, you’ve got an extremely nasty tongue. You jeered and mocked Ol’ Meng, but the moment I criticized you, you started looking to die?”
The jade-robed man’s face flushed red. “The winner is a king, the loser's a bandit. If that’s what you say, that’s how it is. Still, I can tell you this: even if I die, I absolutely won’t beg for mercy!”
“Oh,” said Su Yi. Suddenly, he started walking toward the man in jade-colored robes.
His opponent instantly sensed the pressure of a lethal threat. His soul quivered, and his mind was on the verge of collapse. He felt suffocated to the point of near death.
But he nonetheless gnashed his teeth, his gaze completely stubborn.
Suddenly, his whole body relaxed; that oppressive sensation had disappeared. He felt like a drowning man pulled out of the water, and he couldn’t help but breathe in ragged gasps.
His handsome face was deathly pale, without a hint of rosiness.
It was then that Su Yi’s calm voice rang out. “You really are a main-branch descendant of the Zhuang Family. Your conduct might be poor, and your behavior might be outrageous, but at least you’ve got a spine. You haven’t brought shame upon your ancestor.”
The man in jade-colored robes froze, stunned. Did this guy... realize who I was a long time ago!?
