Chapter 564: An Unstoppable Massacre
The man in fiery robes had fallen!
Neither Huan Shaoyou and his allies nor the distant onlookers had anticipated this result.
That was a Spiritual Manifestation Realm monster of the ancient era! His talent was extraordinary and his foundations were terrifying. Moreover, he possessed life-saving trump cards!
Yet he was nonetheless the first to fall!
When they took in this bloody scene, the onlookers' expressions changed, and their scalps numbed.
With his sword in hand, Su Yi seemed like a completely different person. He appeared to have invincible momentum!
Who would have thought someone so terrifying would have mere Gathering Stars Realm cultivation?
The battle continued.
After killing the man in fiery robes, Su Yi blurred and shot toward the closest enemy, a man in black warrior’s robes.
The man in black bellowed and activated twelve spirit pearls. They outlined a grand formation in front of him and burst with radiant light.
Every pearl unleashed a curtain of light. With twelve of them gathered together, twelve curtains of light overlapped.
They were like a natural barrier in front of him!
The Spirit Firmament Pearls!
These were the black-robed man’s life-saving trump card. When the twelve pearls outlined the Twelve-Layered Spirit Firmament Formation, they had shocking defensive power.
Kcch!
But then, a tiny blue sword shot silently out of Su Yi’s forehead and slashed.
The Divine Slaughter Sword!
Now that he’d reached the Gathering Stars Realm, the power of Su Yi’s soul was enough to make even Spiritual Integration Realm cultivators?sigh?over their own inferiority. When he unleashed the Divine Slaughter Sword, its power was naturally far greater than before.
The man in dark warrior’s robes stiffened, then cried out. His soul was in agony; the Divine Slaughter Sword’s terrifying aura was ripping it apart!
This affected the twelve Spirit Firmament Pearls hovering in front of him. They shook violently, and their formation showed signs of an imminent collapse.
Su Yi seized the opportunity to send the Spirit-Binding Robe flying from his sleeves. It circled in the air and gathered up the Twelve Spirit Firmament Pearls.
“No——!” The man in dark robes shouted, his eyes bulging as if they were about to pop.
Splurt!
Following a flash of sword light, he suddenly clutched his throat. His eyes widened, disbelief and bewilderment written all over his face.
He could see his allies rushing to his aid, but they ultimately arrived one step too late.
Off in the distance, the onlookers were all looking at him in astonishment.
But soon, even those scenes disappeared. All awareness left him, and he fell to the ground, dead.
A second Spiritual Manifestation Realm monster of the ancient era had fallen in battle!
“Dammit!”
“How is this…”
“Bastard! That’s the Huan Family’s Spirit-Binding Rope!” Huan Shaoyou and the others were alarmed and furious. Their expressions shifted erratically.
The distant onlookers gasped; the crisp, smooth way Su Yi slew his foes had shocked them.
Who could miss that the man in black warrior’s robes had already used his life-saving trump cards?
But against Su Yi, it was to no avail!
He couldn’t even stop Su Yi from using the Huan Family’s Spirit-Binding Rope to steal his “life-saving” treasures before he died…
“Hurry! Use your killer moves and kill that bastard!” bellowed Huan Shaoyou.
Two of their allies had fallen. The other monsters of the ancient era were already starting to lose their nerve.
How could they dare hold back now?
Each called upon their trump cards without the slightest hesitation.
Boom!
Heaven and earth were thrown into chaos.
“Ancestor, please, help me slay my enemy!” A woman in black skirts threw a fiery red cauldron into the air. It soared into the heavens, and under the control of a Spiritual Integration cultivator’s primordial spirit, it burst with an enormous arc of light.
“Go!” A gaunt young man in white uttered an invocation, and a dark arc streaked through the air, forming a black talisman enveloped in mysterious and inscrutable lightning glyphs, which fired streaks of dazzling lightning.
“Rise!” A stalwart man suddenly resembled a demonic god. A layer of convoluted, blood-colored glyphs arose on his skin, and a giant skeletal hand condensed before him. Its fingertips were as sharp as swords, and it was swathed in terrifying and unearthly energy.
At the same time, someone threw a talisman with a strange aura. It formed a thousand-foot, golden-armored deity in the air. The giant held a halberd and seemed capable of shaking the universe.
Someone took off a jade pendant and shattered it. Amidst the circulating misty light, a black luan formed. It was bathed in crimson lightning, and with a beat of its wings, it took to the skies. It filled the air with radiant blood-colored electricity.
The monsters of the ancient era struck, instantly and ruthlessly. All had used their killer moves: mysterious and inscrutable treasures, a Spiritual Integration expert’s primordial spirit, the soul of an eerie and terrifying vicious bird…
When these various powers intercrossed and gathered together, the entire stretch of heaven and earth shook violently, and the wind and clouds changed color.
“Hurry up and retreat!”
The onlookers’ hair stood on end as they sensed a potentially lethal threat. None of them hesitated to move further away.
This scene was just too terrifying; the power fluctuations alone shook their very souls.
Wen Xinzhao, Yue Shichan, and Ge Qian’s hearts were on tenterhooks. They were more nervous than ever before.
How could they fail to realize that the monsters of the ancient era were now giving this everything they had?
It was just that not even they had anticipated that their killer weapons and trump cards would be this terrifying. Even just watching from a distance, they felt suffocated and on the verge of despair.
How could Su Yi possibly block this?
The geniuses of the present day—Buddhist Son Chen Lu, Li Handeng, Jiang Li, and several others—and the monsters of the ancient era who weren’t participating in the fighting—Zeng Pu, Chi Jiansu, and Gu Cangning—all subconsciously glanced at Su Yi.
There was no doubt about it: it was time to determine victory and defeat!
Su Yi stood on the battlefield. His eyes narrowed.
When a battle to the death reached the point where?foes?started throwing out everything they’d kept in reserve, it meant his opponents had reached the limits of their abilities, leaving them no choice but to rely on external objects.
Even Su Yi had no choice but to admit that the treasures they’d kept in reserve were impressive; each was stronger than the one before.
Were he a Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivator too, he could naturally ignore all this.
However, with his current cultivation, he’d have a hard time fighting all this.
But how could he, Su Xuanjun, lack hidden cards of his own?
Clang!
The Abstruse God Sword hummed and shook.
The aura of the Sword of the Nine Hells surged from his sea of consciousness and into the Abstruse God Sword. The blade lit up with a terrifying, inscrutable luster.
The Netherflame Demon Sparrow sealed within the sword couldn’t help but curl up and quiver in fright.
It sensed a lofty and supreme, terrifying aura. It was many times stronger than anything it had ever seen in its life, and it felt as if it were facing a true deity, one that could erase it from existence with a mere thought!
All of this took a long time to describe, but it happened quickly.
When the monsters of the ancient era activated their killer weapons and their joint attacks blanketed the sky, Su Yi took action too.
His blue robes were stained with blood, but although he was covered in wounds, he now seemed casual and at ease. His gait seemed unhurried, but in truth, he was moving quickly.
“Die!” The cauldron under the control of a Spiritual Integration Realm primordial spirit charged forth, bringing with it a sky full of flame. It seemed intent on incinerating the entire area, Su Yi included.
That terrifying majesty was enough to make any of the world’s Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivators give in to despair!
But Su Yi didn’t even spare him a glance. He just raised his sword.
Whoosh!
Sword qi streaked through the air.
The flames filling the sky split like cotton fabric as the sword qi slashed a perfectly straight line right through them.
The slash traversed the sea of flames and collided with the cauldron, which boomed and split into pieces.
The sword qi’s power didn’t diminish in the slightest. It continued ahead and cleaved into the Spiritual Integration Realm primordial spirit.
It cut through him like a knife through butter. The primordial spirit scattered into a rain of light and disappeared.
One sword cut through a sea of flame, shattered the cauldron, and cleaved a primordial spirit.
As if slaughtering dogs and chickens!
“Ancestor——!” The girl in the black skirt shrieked. It was as if she’d been struck by lightning.
Everyone present was shocked. Without exception, all of them were astonished.
That was the primordial spirit of a Spiritual Integration Realm cultivator armed with a top-class Spirit Dao treasure, yet a young Gathering Stars Realm cultivator slew him in the blink of an eye. Who could have anticipated this?
Before the crowd knew what was happening,?Su Yi made no attempt to dodge the attacks. He just advanced, sword swinging.
Boom!
A black talisman, a giant hand of white bone, and a black luan shrouded in blood-colored lightning charged at Su Yi.
The black talisman burst with arcs of terrifying, unearthly electricity. This treasure was the work of a Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivator, and it was full of enormous destructive power.
However, in the face of Su Yi’s sword, it seemed as fragile?as paper?mache. It burst apart, and its explosive electricity collapsed into nothingness.
Immediately afterward——
Crunch!
Sword light shattered the bony hand into power, and its unsettling aura disappeared.
The black luan wrapped in crimson lightning realized that the situation didn’t look optimistic. It cried out in terror, turned, and tried to flee, only for a streak of sword qi to run it through.
Bang!?It burst into blood-colored rain and scattered.
In the blink of an eye, the trump cards of three monsters of the ancient era had all been destroyed!
The three monsters of the ancient era felt as if their souls were leaving their bodies, and they almost collapsed.
This… How is this possible?
Before they could come to their senses, three streaks of sword qi descended, aimed respectively at the woman in black, the white-robed young man, and the tall, stalwart man.
Splurt! Splurt! Splurt!
They were no different from lambs brought to the slaughterhouse. All three were Spiritual Manifestation Realm monsters of the ancient era, but their bodies burst and their souls collapsed as they perished beneath the descending sword qi.
Not one survived!
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to dodge, but that as the sword qi’s majestic aura enveloped them, they were thoroughly suppressed. Even their souls suffered terrifying suppression.
It was to the point that they could only give in to despair and watch helplessly as they were killed!
The distant onlookers’ hair stood on end. They stood there in a daze.
And here they’d assumed that when Huan Shaoyou and his companions took out their killer moves and treasures, Su Yi would find it very difficult to escape calamity.
Who’d have thought Su Yi could break through their killer moves with such ease, then kill several monsters of the ancient era in a single move?
This bloody spectacle was no different from a massacre!
“This…”
Even Wen Xinzhao, Yue Shichan, and Ge Qian were completely dumbstruck.
Although they were Su Yi’s traveling companions, this was their first time seeing him display such powerful swordsmanship. The sight of him cutting down foes like a scythe through wheat, seemingly invincible, made their hearts shake too.
The battle raged on.
As Su Yi swung his sword, even the thousand-foot golden-armored deity split apart and collapsed with a bang.
A wisp of the Sword of the Nine Hells’ aura was supporting the Abstruse God Sword. What cultivator could imagine its power?
The killer moves targeting Su Yi had blanketed heaven and earth moments prior, but now, all had been destroyed and dispersed into nothingness.
Now, only four members of Huan Shaoyou’s alliance?remained: Huan Shaoyou, Mo Xingzhe, and two other monsters of the ancient era.
The other five had already been executed, one after another.
The survivors’ expressions were ashen and unsightly. They looked both alarmed and furious, and when they looked at Su Yi, their eyes were full of both dread and astonishment.
It was obvious that what they’d just witnessed had scared them; none were as composed or calm as before.
Su Yi stood not far away, one hand behind his back, the other holding his sword. He was hovering off the ground, and his voice carried a trace of entirely undisguised contempt.
“Your strength isn’t enough to take me down, and your trump cards… it seems they aren’t good enough either.”
