First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1104 - It’s a Good Sword, but It Lacks a Good Wielder

When Pi Mo heard that, his expression turned increasingly indifferent. “Very well. It seems your disciple’s advice isn’t enough to move you. In that case, we’ll just have to fight to determine a victor!”

He waved his arm.

Boom!

The power of formations rumbled throughout Martial Heaven Peak, and firelight surged into the firmament.

Immediately afterward, the experts of the Five Great Daoist Sects revealed themselves. They were overseeing the various formations, and all of them had terrifying, monstrous auras.

“Seventy-two Profound Illumination Emperors, twenty-four Profound Serenity Emperors, and three early-stage Profound Unity old monsters...”

When they saw this, gasps rang out throughout the crowd.

Even the old-timers’ expressions shifted.

“Only Five of the Six Great Daoist Sects remained. I can tell that they’ve steeled themselves to fight alongside Pi Mo until the bitter end. They’ve brought out every last Emperor in their respective sects,” someone muttered, his expression grim.

As the power of the formations circulated throughout Martial Heaven Peak, the surrounding landscape trembled. The mountains and rivers swayed, and the sky undulated.

A powerful aura that threatened to destroy heaven and earth swept out like the tide. It was so oppressive that the onlookers almost couldn’t breathe.

“Retreat, quickly! Get further away!” Shouts arose throughout the crowd as the nearby cultivators fled into the distance, terrified that the shockwaves of the grand battle would reach them.

“That lineup is stronger than the trap they placed in the Ten Directions Yao Mountains by no small margin!”

Over in the Nine Extremes Profound Capital’s camp, the grand high elder looked solemn.

All of them had anticipated that Pi Mo, the leader of the Abstruse Force Alliance, wouldn’t just sit around and wait to die.

Still, they hadn’t expected that he’d go to such lengths. He’d summoned every last Emperor of the Five Great Daoist Sects to man his formations and guard their territory!

A set-up like that could trap and kill even a Profound Unity Emperor!

“I’m afraid this is just one of Pi Mo’s killer moves. Don’t forget that the Studio of the Heart, a prominent faction of the stars beyond, stands behind him too,” one of the old-timers said grimly.

In the blink of an eye, a vast area around Martial Heaven Peak cleared out. Even the old monsters moved further away, not daring to get too close.Please visit fr𝐞𝐞w𝒏.𝒸𝑜𝔪 website to read fastest update

When Su Yi saw this, he remained just as calm as before. He then softly issued orders. “A battle between master and apprentice is as cruel as it gets. If you get involved too, how could I bear it? I alone will be enough. You should retreat further away and watch.”

Jin Kui, Wang Que, and the others longed to help out, but their master had given his orders. None of them dared disobey, so they silently retreated.

“Master, even after reincarnating and returning, you’re as confident as ever,” Pi Mo sighed in the distance.

But his tone carried faint hints of mockery.

Su Yi ignored him, turned around, and swept his gaze across the crowd. “Today’s battle is the Grotto of Abstruse Force’s private business. I’d like to ask that everyone give me face and refrain from getting involved.”

His gaze lingered on the Skythorn Poison Emperor in particular.

The Skythorn Poison Emperor let out a long sigh, as if he understood what Su Yi was feeling. “Rest assured, Old Monster Su. So long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone else get involved.”

Su Yi subtly inclined his head.

Then, he turned to face Pi Mo. He said flatly, “That formation of yours isn’t even worth looking at. Have your allies from the Studio of the Heart come out.”

He stood in the skies, alone, staring down everyone on Martial Heaven Peak. Who knew how many onlookers exclaimed over his prideful, contemptuous air?

“Master, were you at the peak of your past life, I absolutely wouldn’t dare use such a formation against you,” Pi Mo said expressionlessly. “But now, even though your combat prowess is heaven-defying, and even though you can kill Profound Serenity Emperors with ease, you’re far removed from your former self.”𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Boom!

A streak of sword light shot forth, condensed as could be, heavy as could be, and terrifying as could be. It effortlessly cleaved a rift in the air, as if nothing could stand in its way.

The clouds collapsed on all sides, and countless cultivators’ expressions filled with alarm and astonishment. The imposing power and majesty in that one slash left them on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Even the old-timers tensed, and their expressions shifted dramatically.

That slash might have seemed simple, but the full extent of Pi Mo’s attainments in the Dao of the Sword and his power of the Laws had fused into it. It was tyrannical beyond measure. If a man tried to block it, the man would die. If a Buddha tried to block it, the Buddha would die too!

“That kid went all out right from the start. He really is ruthless!” The Skythorn Poison Emperor’s expression darkened. But despite his displeasure, he had to admit that this was the wisest choice Pi Mo could have made.

After all, Pi Mo’s opponent was his master, an unparalleled master of the Dao of the Sword. There was no room for even the slightest hint of negligence.

In the face of Pi Mo’s tyrannical slash, Su Yi couldn’t help but feel melancholy.

This was the disciple he’d trained. His attainments in the Dao of the Sword were naturally far beyond his contemporaries.

But that only meant it dealt an even greater emotional blow when Pi Mo swung his sword at Su Yi without the slightest hesitation.

Su Yi didn’t let his emotions muddle his mind, however. He no longer hesitated either.

He made no attempt to dodge. Instead, he swung Moonlit Shadow through the air.

This too was as simple as could be, but it revealed utterly dazzling attainments in the Dao of the Sword, as if it had been cleansed of all artifice to achieve a return to simplicity.

In the eyes of most of those present, this slash didn’t have any heaven-shaking majesty at all.

But when the oldest and most terrifying experts present saw it, all of them couldn’t help but feel stunned.

Boom!

There were no wondrous transformations to speak of. The two streaks of sword qi clashed directly in midair, and the entire stretch of sky abruptly collapsed. Unstoppable sword qi formed a flood of destructive power that swept out in all directions.

When it slammed into Martial Heaven Peak, it shook the formations covering its slopes. They churned violently, the Emperors of the Five Great Daoist Sects were visibly startled. They had to circulate the formations’ power with all their might before finally neutralizing the aftershock.

Everywhere else, the landscape collapsed, the air split, and the ground was covered in new deep, intercrossing chasms.

A cloud of dust permeated the air.

Su Yi didn’t move. Only his long hair and blue robes fluttered around him.

This scene left countless onlookers stunned.

Too strong!

He was only in the Profound Illumination Realm, yet he’d clashed with full-force Pi Mo’s Profound Unity Realm attack head-on!!

“His Excellency Su... really is strong...” Yan Suni murmured in a daze.

“The new path Old Monster Su is walking really is heaven-defying.” The Skythorn Poison Emperor clucked his tongue.

The entire area rumbled and boomed. It was only now, when they witnessed the Swordmaster of Abstruse Force’s bearing with their own eyes, that the crowd finally just understood what the words “heaven-defying” and “legendary” really meant!

Throughout all of history, who had seen a Profound Illumination Emperor clash with a Profound Unity Emperor head-on?

No one!

This was an absolutely unique, unprecedented accomplishment!
