First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1426 - Punching An Immortal to Death

Thirty-six immortal revenants stood before him! A lineup like that was enough to make any other immortal revenant give in to despair.

But despite having come here alone, Su Yi announced that he was about to get even with all of them. And he’d even taken the initiative to attack!

Who wouldn’t have been startled?

“Fellow Daoist, would one of you like to test whether or not the boy is bluffing?” Feng Jinghai said gravely. Su Yi’s aura was far too strange; he showed no trace of a cultivation base whatsoever. It really seemed as if he were just an ordinary, untrained mortal.

This only made it all the more difficult to see through him!

“Allow me.” A raspy voice rang out, and a thin old man in golden robes and a jade crown stepped forth.

He was tall and thin, and his entire body emanated roiling silver immortal light. His presence shook the heavens and enveloped the entire landscape.

Lie Wenzhong!

An immortal revenant of Illusory Sword Immortal Tower. His seniority was extraordinarily high.

Unlike the immortal revenants of immortal factions, he’d proven his Dao here in the Human Realm. He was a famous immortal in the Human Realm prior to the End of the Dharma.

When he took the stage, numerous others’ eyes shone with anticipation.

“Be careful,” warned Feng Jinghai.

Lie Wenzhong said casually, “Rest assured, Daoist Brother. A lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit, and that goes doubly for a sword cultivator such as myself. When I fight, I always use my full power.”

As he spoke, he stepped into the air. With every step, heaven and earth trembled, and the mountains and rivers swayed. Countless startling rifts tore open in the air beneath his feet.

This was the majesty of an expert of the Immortal Dao. Even just gazing upon him from afar was enough to make Cloud Soaring Transcendents’ hearts quiver with fright. Even they felt suffocated.

Immortals and Transcendents were as far apart as the earth and the heavens!

Even though Li Wenzhong was now “just” a revenant, his terrifying momentum was far beyond any Transcendent's.

And far beyond an immortal avatar of will!

Off in the distance, the yellow dog, Xing Que, narrowed its eyes. A sword immortal’s revenant. He lacks a physical body, and his curse still binds his soul. Even without the restrictions of the Laws, his strength is only about twenty percent of what it was in life. Even so, that’s more than enough to sweep through any expert of the Path of Transcendence. An immortal is still an immortal!

But you can’t judge Su Yi’s strength based on his cultivation base, and he controls the secrets of reincarnation. It’s not like he isn’t strong enough to fight back. Well, I hope... he isn’t just acting tough, and he’s really got some sort of killer weapon.

Mo Xinglin’s heart and mind tensed with unprecedented nervousness.

He could tell at a glance that the gathered immortals weren’t at all complacent. Otherwise, there would have been no need to send Lie Wenzhong to test the waters first.

They were taking things one step at a time, with the goal of probing Su Yi’s abilities first. The moment they figured out what he was up to, his defeat would be close at hand!

“Want to test me?” Su Yi immediately realized what they were after, and a jeer rose unbidden to his lips.

Boom!

They were still a thousand feet apart when Su Yi leaped into the air and clashed with Lie Wenzhong head-on.

Lie Wenzhong furrowed his brow, but he wasn’t at all complacent. His sleeves billowed around him as his finger tapped the air.

A streak of silver sword qi shot forth, surrounded by flowing immortal light. Its edge was unparalleled, and it ripped through the sky and descended effortlessly.

At that moment, everyone felt as if a sword were tearing heaven and earth asunder, and they felt a stinging pain in their eyes.

In the face of this slash, Su Yi threw a punch. It was light and airy, without any trace of an aura. It was like the punch of a mundane warrior, simple and direct. To the onlookers, it seemed coarse and unseemly.

But when it landed, that streak of silver sword qi shattered, inch by inch. A moment later, the entire stretch of sky exploded.

Dust and smoke permeated the air as Su Yi shot forth and attacked once more. Punches fell like rain, his movements sweeping and natural.

Lie Wenzhong didn’t hesitate in the slightest. He snorted coldly, his sleeves billowed around him, and a dense gale of sword qi swept forth, flashing with the light of the Immortal Dao, forceful and tyrannical.

An unbelievable scene followed.

It seemed as if Su Yi had no aura whatsoever, but he was like an axe through bamboo, shattering the sword rain filling the skies and reaching Lie Wenzhong with ease.

Bang!

A heaven-shaking impact rang out. Lie Wenzhong staggered backward, the look on his aged face changing completely. His eyes widened with disbelief.

Before he could steady himself, Su Yi attacked once more, this time from close quarters. Dense fist force struck in overlapping waves. By the time one attack passed, the next was on its way.

Lie Wenzhong dared not hesitate. He struck with full force, his entire body bursting with immortal light. His momentum shook heaven and earth as he clashed with Su Yi.

But within just a few blinks of the eye, his offensive broke, and his defensive immortal light rumbled and boomed. Even his blood and qi churned within him.

Boom!

Su Yi’s fist force was like a sharp, unblockable knife. It cut through Lie Wenzhong’s defenses and slammed into him.

Lie Wenzhong let out a muffled, agonized grunt as he was sent flying back.

This entire series of events was over in the blink of an eye.

Witnessing Lie Wenzhong’s defeat left everyone present so astonished that their eyes practically popped out of their heads.

“What’s going on!? Not even an immortal revenant can cut it?” someone cried out.

“My heavens!!! Am I seeing things?” someone exclaimed.

“This...” Feng Jinghai and the other immortal revenants were astonished. All of their expressions filled with disbelief.

The battle had only just begun, but it had already turned into a one-sided beatdown. Lie Wenzhong was an immortal, but Su Yi was pummeling him!

This completely overturned their predictions and even their perception of reality.

None of them had considered that Su Yi, despite looking like an ordinary mortal, would be so terrifyingly strong when he attacked!

“Fellow Daoist Su...” Mo Xinglin’s eyes widened. He was too startled to even speak properly.

At first, he assumed that Daoist Master Red Cloud would come to Su Yi’s aid and turn the tides in Su Yi’s favor.

Seeing Xing Que accompany Su Yi only made Mo Xinglin even more convinced of this prediction.

The only possibility he had never even considered was that Su Yi could already defeat an immortal revenant in a head-on clash relying purely on his own strength!

And he was even so tyrannical and domineering! He’d crushed his opponent right from the start!

“You’re all exclaiming over nothing. Why would he have come here to get even without a trick or two up his sleeves?” the dog snorted coldly.

In truth, it too was shaken.

Not long ago, Su Yi had suppressed Cui Zheng, an immortal revenant.

But at the time, Cui Zheng had been subject to the restriction of the Laws. He could only display about twenty percent of his strength—which was in turn only about twenty percent of what he’d had in life.

But this was different. Lie Wenzhong was still a revenant, but his strength was otherwise unrestricted. He was stronger than Cui Zheng to begin with, and under these conditions, he could use far greater power.

Yet Su Yi beat him up all the same! Even the dog wouldn’t have anticipated this.

Boom!

As the onlookers were in uproar, Su Yi rallied his strength and attacked once more, swift as a beam of flowing light and immeasurably tyrannical.

“Go!”

Lie Wenzhong drew a glittering silver immortal sword and slashed furiously.

The immortal sword let out a clear hum, filling the sky with immortal light and illuminating the mountains and rivers. The radiance was so intense that the onlookers couldn’t even open their eyes.

Clang!!!

Su Yi swung his fist and clashed with it head-on.

The immortal sword trembled, buzzed, and let out a mournful wail.

The sword couldn’t take the power of Su Yi’s punch. It was flung ruthlessly back, quivering as if electrocuted. Its cries shook the heavens.

Lie Wenzhong suffered the resulting backlash and coughed up blood. His face filled with astonishment.

He’d only just attempted to retreat when Su Yi stretched out his right hand and pressed down on the air.

Boom!

Ten thousand feet of sky collapsed abruptly.

Lie Wenzhong was right in the thick of it, and he instantly found himself under terrifying suppression. Countless gashes tore open on his body, and fresh blood splattered the air. A low, muffled grunt escaped his lips.

Everyone quivered despite the absence of cold, so startled that they broke out in cold sweats.

It would have been obvious that Lie Wenzhong, once an immortal of the sword, was now in dire straits!

“Die!”

At a critical juncture, an explosive shout rang out.

Three immortal revenants shifted through the sky, rushing to his aid just in time!

There were two men and one woman, and they took out a Daoist Seal, treasure pagoda, and jade fan, respectively. All of them attacked Su Yi.

“Want to save him? You’re dreaming!” Su Yi laughed dryly.

He neither fled nor dodged. Power so expansive as to connect heaven and earth suddenly burst around his tall, upright frame.

Bang!

A resplendent blue Daoist seal descended upon Su Yi, only for terrifying sword force to block it before it reached him.

Immediately afterward, that old-fashioned treasure pagoda and jade fan surrounded in colorful flowing light arrived.

Flames surged out of the pagoda, and the fan stirred up ten thousand feet of lightning.

But as terrifying as the two immortal treasures were, Su Yi’s terrifying power blocked them both, just as it had the seal!

The flames blazed, but they couldn’t advance any further.

Electric light crackled and thunder boomed, but none of it reached Su Yi.

Nothing could even get near him!

This was the joint attack of three immortal revenants, but all it did was make Su Yi stagger on his feet!

Then, he shot forth like an arrow loosed from a bow, sending all three immortal treasures flying.

But that wasn’t the end of it. A moment later, he was right in front of Lie Wenzhong.

“This is bad!”

Lie Wenzhong had only just started to calm down, and he’d lowered his sword. When he saw Su Yi appear in front of him, he couldn’t help but panic. He wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.

“Dodge!” someone shouted.

Su Yi’s fist descended.

He was like a martial god of the mundane world. His fist seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth and suppressing the sky throughout the ages.

Lie Wenzhong’s eyes bulged at this life-or-death juncture, and he let out a heaven-shaking roar. He raised his sword and swung in fury, pouring every last drop of strength into his attack!

Boom!!!

It was as if the skies were falling and the earth were caving even. Everything crumbled.

A terrifying rain of light enveloped the entire stretch of heaven and earth. Currents of destructive power swept outward, and a silver immortal sword was sent flying back before landing beyond the nine heavens.

Immediately afterward, a terrified shriek rang out. Amidst the currents of destruction and fire, Lie Wenzhong flew back like a kite with its strings cut.

Before he could even steady himself, he exploded into pieces in midair.

An immortal revenant had died brutally in a flash!!

Everyone present had a strong reaction. All of them were so astonished that their minds practically went blank. None of them could have imagined that even after other immortal revenants rushed to his aid, Lie Wenzhong would fail to escape disaster. Su Yi had slain him on the spot!

Who could have imagined that Su Yi, whom practically all of them assumed was doomed, would be this strong?

He’d swept through his opponents, crushing everything in his path to slay an immortal!

Furthermore, from beginning to end, he hadn’t used any kind of treasure! It wasn’t just the onlookers who were stunned. Even the distant revenants couldn’t hide their astonishment.

Every last one of them looked stricken!
