First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1487 - Declaring War at the Enemies’ Gates

Su Yi stopped in his tracks, looked at the kowtowing, bleeding woman, and said, “Get up. I don’t like it when others prostrate and beg.”

The woman stiffened, but she didn’t get up.

Instead, she looked up with great difficulty and said in a quavering voice, Your Excellency Su, I have nothing left. All I can do is kowtow and beg... there’s... nothing else I can do...”

Blood dripped down her pallid face, a miserable sight.

But she disregarded this completely. She just remained on the ground and gazed up at Su Yi.

The blood-covered elder approached and said softly, “Your Excellency Su, her name is Zhan Yun. During the last Night of the Blood Moon, her senior apprentice brother, Xie Gubei, was killed by a powerful expert of the Western Chill Star Domain. He died saving her life.”

After explaining all this, the old man let out a deep sigh.

Su Yi pointed to the blood-stained robes the woman was clutching to her chest. “Were those your senior apprentice brother’s?”

The woman nodded. “Senior Apprentice Brother used a secret art to blow himself up to save me. Even his soul was destroyed; all that remains of him are these tattered robes.”

As she spoke, she burst into tears once more. “If it weren’t for me, he never would have died so brutally.”

She was a Dao Integration Realm Transcendent, yet here she was, kowtowing and overcome with grief and despair!

“Aiyo, that Su person you were talking about really showed up?” The purple-robed man’s voice emanated from outside the city. “Hey, you! Dare you come out of the city to see me?”

Within Eastern Profound City, everyone instinctively looked at Su Yi.

But it was as if Su Yi didn’t even notice. He just looked at the kneeling woman. “To tell the truth, I don’t pity you in the slightest.”

The woman said nothing. She just kept prostrating herself on the ground.

“If you want revenge, what’s with all the sobbing? Why kowtow before an outsider like me?” Su Yi said with cold indifference. “You’re completely spineless! If your senior apprentice brother saw you like this, he’d think he'd have been better off not saving you!”’

With that, he shook his head and walked off. He didn’t spare the woman so much as another glance.

Everyone present was flabbergasted. They looked at each other in astonishment.

Only that old man seemed to understand. His expression was complicated as he whispered to the prostrating woman, “Zhan Yun, Fellow Daoist Su is right. No matter how grief-stricken and helpless you feel, you can’t lose the spirit and mental fortitude of a cultivator. Quick, get up!”

The woman quivered, then slowly rose to her feet and said bitterly, “Daoist Brother, three days from now, on the Night of the Blood Moon... none of us will possibly survive. I'm sure you know that just as well as I do. Why even speak of getting revenge? That’s why I begged His Excellency Su for his aid. Who’d have thought I’d just provoke his ire...?”

She was visibly despondent, her expression bleak, as if she were on the verge of collapse.

The old man said gently, “Rest assured, His Excellency is here. If you have faith in his abilities, don’t degrade yourself any further.”

The woman nodded, then looked up, only to see that Su Yi’s tall, upright figure was headed toward the city gates.

“Why haven’t you responded? Don’t tell me that Su person is afraid too?” The young man in purple called out once more, his voice rife with disdain. “Haha! This is the savior you’ve been waiting for?”

The silver-robed man couldn’t take it anymore. He shouted in fury, “Fuck you, and eighteen generations of your ancestors too! Is there no end to this!?”

The others’ expressions were overcast too.

The purple-robed young man from the Western Chill Star Domain had been standing outside their gates, provoking them for days. He wanted to make them so angry that they’d throw themselves into his net.

Although none of them had fallen for it, no one would have enjoyed listening to him insult and mock them day in and day out.

Outside the city walls, the young man in purple sat with his legs crossed.

When he heard the silver-robed man curse, he laughed. “Oh? You dare talk back? I’ll remember your voice. Three days from now, on the Night of the Blood Moon, I’ll have your head first!”

He’d only just said this when his eyes narrowed. He looked up at the towering gates of Eastern Profound City. He wasn’t sure when, but a tall, upright figure now stood atop the gates, his blue robes fluttering around him.

The young man in purple wasn’t startled. On the contrary, he was delighted. “So, you’re that Su person? Dare you come here to throw your life away?”

Around a dozen Western Chill Star Domain Dao Integration cultivators stood behind the young man in purple. They too were started into action, and all of them looked over.

Every last one of them was visibly unfriendly!

Within the city, the experts of Eastern Profound City watched nervously.

Su Yi, meanwhile, drifted from the city gates and landed outside the city.

Boom!

The young man in purple charged explosively over and attacked immediately!

Earlier, he’d seemed languid and relaxed, but when he attacked, it was as if he’d instantly transformed into a ferocious god of slaughter. His aura was forceful and terrifying, and his murderous intent rose into the heavens!

“Die!”

The purple-robed young man was still mid-charge when his right hand struck like a dragon’s claws, bringing with it dazzling golden light as he swiped ruthlessly at Su Yi.

It was as if he feared nothing more than Su Yi fleeing back into city limits.

Naturally, Su Yi didn’t flee.

He didn’t even look at his opponent. He just swung his sleeve through the air.

Bang!

The young man in purple was swatted like a fly. He fell from the sky and slammed into the dirt, hard. Throughout his body, countless bones snapped, and he shrieked in agony.

His companions were instantly startled, and their expressions shifted.

“Get him!”

All of them attacked together without reservation.

Su Yi took this in calmly and without a word. He just pressed down on the air.

Boom!

A waterfall of sword qi descended from the heavens like a resplendent beam of light cleaving through the firmament and illuminating the mountains and rivers.

The thirteen Dao Integration Realm cultivators fell like grass beneath a scythe, slain by the dense, radiant sword qi. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Blood splattered the air.

Agonized cries shook the heavens.

In the blink of an eye, everyone but the young man in purple had died on the spot.

But it was as if Su Yi had done something entirely unremarkable. Throughout this process, his expression never so much as shifted.

He brushed off his clothes and, without even turning his head, ordered, “Don’t kill him. Tie him up and hang him from the city gates for all to see. I’m going to Western Chill City.”

Before his light, airy words had even finished echoing through the air, Su Yi placed one hand behind his back and gripped a jug of wine in the other. Just like that, he took to the skies and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Everyone in Eastern Profound City was wide-eyed, tongue-tied, and dazed.

A group of top Dao Integration Realm experts of the Western Chill Star Domain had been killed with such ease?

No, not all of them. The young man in purple was still alive; he’d just lost the strength to fight. He was sprawled out on the ground like a dead dog.

“His Excellency Su really is that legendary figure who slew immortals in the Human Realm!” murmured the old man.

“In our eyes, those were utterly terrifying foes, but in his eyes, they were no more than moths to the flame,” someone said with a complicated look on his face.

The more they compared themselves, the more obvious it was how terrifying this modern legend of the Eastern Profound Star Domain was!

“You like barking like a dog, don’t you? Well? Why not bark again for us?” Someone walked through the gates, grabbed the purple-robed young man, and slapped him several times, leaving his face as red and swollen as a pig's. Several of his teeth even went flying through the air.

“His Excellency Su has gone to Western Chill City...” The wailing woman’s hollow eyes gradually lit back up. “Senior Apprentice Brother! With His Excellency Daoist Su here, the enemies who killed you will die beyond a doubt!!”

......

“They tried to wipe out every last expert from the Eastern Profound Star Domain. In that case, I won’t be polite either,” Su Yi thought to himself.

He wouldn’t go out of his way to offend others, not unless they offended him first.

Had they not offended him, he wouldn’t have paid the other cultivators any heed, regardless of their star domain of origin.

But this time, he’d decided to do a little something for the Eastern Profound Star Domain.

For the simple reason that he was angry!

Furthermore, Su Yi couldn’t deny that Wang Ye’s emotions were influencing him.

When he saw the miserable state of Eastern Profound City, rage simmered in the depths of Su Yi’s heart. But this time, Su Yi didn’t reject Wang Ye’s anger.

He too was a denizen of the Eastern Profound Star Domain, and he now found himself in the Second Battleground. That meant he and the experts of other star domains were fated to be enemies!

Even if he didn't actively hunt them down, they were sure to see him as prey only good for accumulating merit!

And Su Yi had always hated being in a passive position. Since he’d decided to do something, he ought to charge right into the enemies’ camp.

“Ee? A kid from the Eastern Profound Star Domain? Aren’t those prey animals practically all dead by now?”

A voice suddenly rang out in the distance.

A group of Southern Flame Star Domain Dao Integration Realm cultivators were combing a distant stretch of mountains and rivers for good fortune.

But now, all of them had noticed the young man in blue shooting over from afar.

“Hehe, haven’t we profited big-time? Don’t fight, everyone. This prey is mine!” A black-robed man charged into the heavens, but before he could even attack, a streak of sword qi destroyed him on the spot.

Blood fell like rain.

Immediately afterward, Su Yi pressed down on the air from afar.

Boom!!

The entire stretch of landscape collapsed, and the Southern Flame Star Domain Dao Integration Realm cultivators were wiped out along with it.

Meanwhile, Su Yi continued into the distance.

“Now that I’ve reached the Manifesting Truth Realm, opponents like them seem even more pathetic than ever...” Su Yi shook his head. Even if he hadn’t broken through, he could have crushed Dao Integration Realm experts like them with ease.

It was even easier now that he was already in the Manifesting Truth Realm!

Western Chill City.

Numerous cultivators came and went, passing freely through the city’s gates. It was a lively scene.

This was where the Dao Integration experts of the Western Chill Star Domain were stationed.

Suddenly, someone cried out in astonishment, “What on earth is someone from the Eastern Profound Star Domain doing in our territory?”

All of a sudden, everyone in the area stopped what they were doing and looked over.

They watched as a tall, upright figure walked over from the distant skies. He really was an expert of the Eastern Profound Star Domain!

This scene left the crowd half suspecting they were seeing things.

Who in the Second Battleground didn’t know that the Eastern Profound Star Domain’s camp had practically already been wiped out?

Even their city was completely surrounded by the forces of the Western Chill Star Domain!

Yet now, a young man from the Eastern Profound Star Domain had appeared before them, right out in the open, and he was headed straight toward Western Chill City!

Who wouldn’t have been surprised?

But then, someone burst into laughter. “Prey has delivered itself to our door. Isn’t that a good thing?”

“Let’s see who can kill this prey first!”

“Yeah! Let’s try it!”

“Get him!”

Before their voices had even finished echoing through the air, one figure after another soared into the air and charged at Su Yi.

All of them raced to get there first. Their eyes brimmed with murderous intent, like hunters who’d set their sights on prey foolish enough to deliver itself right to them!
