First Immortal of the Sword

Li Fenghan burst into the laughter. The sound was extraordinarily grating to the ears.

“Brazen!” Tang Weihan’s expression darkened. He waved his sleeve and slashed at Li Fenghan.

Boom!

His palm strike stirred up sharp winds swathed in dazzling blade light. It was like a divine saber cleaving through the air, dazzling heaven and earth.

An attack of that level could have killed even some modern-day Void Realm True Immortals with ease.

Li Fenghan snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with murderous intent as he suddenly threw a punch.

Bang!!!

Divine radiance scattered, and flames swept outward.

Tang Weihan was forced back. His pupils constricted, and his expression filled with alarm. This guy is so strong!

Tang Weihan was in first place on the Universe Realm Immortal Rankings, yet a single punch had forced him to retreat! Who’d dare believe such a thing?

Even the Immortal Lords were unwittingly stunned, their hearts solemn.

Only a fierce dragon dared brave a surging river. Li Fenghan might have seemed mad with arrogance, but there was no denying that he was terrifyingly strong!

“Since when did a heaven-defying figure like you exist in the Immortal Realm?” Chu Baichan furrowed his brow. He was from the Divine Mysteries Pavilion, and he was the most well-informed of anyone here. He was in possession of numerous secrets, and he had access to powers and information unknown to the general populace.

But not even he could tell where Li Fenghan had come from. This was unquestionably out of the ordinary!

“I said, I wanted to fight all ten of you at once. Did you really think I was joking?” Li Fenghan snorted coldly, his eyes glinting with derision.

Tang Weihan took a deep breath and attacked once more. This time, he didn’t hold back in the slightest. He poured the full extent of his cultivation base into this strike, making it considerably stronger than his last.

Boom!

A grand battle broke out.

But mere moments later, Tang Weihan was forced back once more, his hair disheveled. He looked utterly wretched.

Li Fenghan was just too strong!

His fists were like iron, his movements sweeping, yet natural and controlled. His attacks were simple and direct, yet he fought with unstoppable force and unrivaled, tyrannical valiance.

As he attacked, monstrous, bloody, baleful energy rose around him, and murderous intent shook heaven and earth. He was like a god of slaughter marching into war on a blood-soaked battlefield!

Everyone present was shaken. All of them were left wide-eyed and tongue-tied.

None of them could have imagined that the top expert of the Universe Realm Immortal Rankings would be forced back even after using his full strength!

Li Fenghan threw back his head and laughed, then charged at Meng Xinguan. “Join us!”

“Activate!” Meng Xinguan’s sleeves billowed around him, and his hands formed seals. Countless wondrous and inscrutable markings of the Immortal Dao whooshed forth, dazzling and resplendent.

But mere moments later the monster in second place on the Universe Realm Immortal Rankings, was suppressed too!

Silence descended over the entire area. Everyone was bewildered, and everyone found this difficult to accept.

Tang Weihan and Meng Xinguan had both displayed heaven-defying strength. Countless onlookers signed in amazement, and even the Immortal Lords sang their praises.

Who’d have thought a stranger would appear out of nowhere and forcefully suppress them both?

“Die!” Tang Weihan bellowed and attacked once more.

The battle was now two against one. However——

To the crowd’s shock, even when both monstrous geniuses fought at once, they couldn’t shake Li Hanfeng. On the contrary, as time passed, they gradually found themselves at a disadvantage!

“How is this possible?”

“How could that guy be so strong? Is it really possible for a Universe Realm Immortal to possess such power?”

“He really is in the Universe Realm, but his power is obviously far more terrifying than others of the same cultivation!”

…The crowd was in uproar. Startled cries arose on all sides.

Even the Immortal Lords’ expressions were shifting and uncertain.

The curtains were supposed to have fallen on this Mirror Lake Immortal Assembly, only for a monster to appear out of nowhere. None of them had anticipated this.

“What about the other eight? Why don’t you dare come out and fight me? Don’t tell me you’re scared?” Li Fenghan bellowed with domineering arrogance.

He was like a god of war, charging across the battlefield. His baleful, bloody energy manifested visions of oceans of blood and mountains of corpses that blotted out the skies.

He was suppressing even Tang Weihan and Meng Xinguan!

“Everyone, let’s attack together to suppress his bluster!”

“Didn’t he say he’d kill himself if he lost? Let’s give him what he wants!”

One figure after another charged into the arena. All of them were geniuses ranked in the top ten, and all of them were visibly enraged. They immediately joined forces against Feng Lihan.

The battlefield was in uproar. Everyone was watching.

Many of the onlookers were excited, but Su Yi sighed.

Fu Yunzhong sighed too. “So many of them are fighting together. Even if they win, there’ll be no glory in it.”

Su Yi was stunned; he realized that Fu Yunzhong had misunderstood. “No matter how many of them there are, they have no hope of victory.”

“Why do you say that?” exclaimed Fu Yunzhong.

“Just watch. You’ll see,” said Su Yi.

Indeed, as if to prove Su Yi right, Li Fenghan’s eagerly anticipated defeat never manifested. Instead, as the battle raged on, the geniuses in the top ten of the Universe Realm Immortal Rankings were injured, one after another.

“He was holding back earlier!” someone shouted.

Everyone could tell that Li Fenghan was even stronger than before. Even after the top ten geniuses joined forces, they were repeatedly forced back.

“Brother Chu, can you tell what’s going on with that guy?”

The Immortal Lords were furious and confused as they looked at Chu Baichan. They couldn’t even imagine how such heaven-defying strength was possible for a Universe Realm Immortal.

Chu Baichan’s expression shifted. “He really is in the Universe Realm. Otherwise, the arena’s formations would have expelled him a long time ago.”

The higher-ups were instantly solemn. This unquestionably implied that Li Fenghan hadn’t cheated; he’d relied on his true ability to force the monsters in the top ten back.

This was unquestionably far too terrifying.

Pick any of the unrivaled monsters in the top ten at random, and you’d have someone capable of crossing cultivation realms to fight foes of higher levels. They were strong enough to intimidate even some Void Realm True Immortals.

Yet now, even when they joined forces, Li Fenghan had trounced them. Who wouldn’t have been surprised?

“Does that mean he’s the strongest Universe Realm Immortal in the Immortal Realm?” Fang Han asked in a daze.

Li Fenghan’s strength left him dazed; Fang Han couldn’t even imagine it.

Su Yi’s gaze was inscrutable. He whispered, “No, he’s unworthy of that title.”

Boom!

A heaven-shaking impact resounded from the battlefield.

“Break!” Li Fenghan leaped into the air and swung his fists, like mallets beating a drum.

It was as if divine mountains were bearing down on the top ten geniuses of the Universe Realm Immortal Rankings. All of them were sent flying, and all of them suffered heavy injuries.

Deathly silence ensued. Everyone’s eyes widened, and everyone stood there in a daze.

Defeated!?

Ten monstrous geniuses at the pinnacle of strength within the Universe Realm had joined forces. How could they possibly lose like this?

Most importantly, who was this Li Fenghan? What were his origins? Who was his master? Why hadn’t any of them heard his name before?

The crowd’s hearts shook. They couldn’t accept this. Even the Immortal Lords’ faces were ashen and unsightly. The Mirror Lake Immortal Assembly was supposed to be a time for the Immortal Realm’s top geniuses to shine. Who’d have thought they’d become nothing but stepping stones for a complete stranger?

The atmosphere was instantly suffocatingly stifled.

Li Fenghan’s eyes flashed as he surveyed his surroundings. "If anyone isn’t convinced, they’re welcome to step forth. You’ll understand once I’ve forced you to kneel before me!”

His voice boomed throughout the surrounding area.

The geniuses of the Universe Realm Immortal Rankings were visibly furious, but none of them dared step forth.

Even Tang Weihan, Meng Xinguan, and the others in the top ten had been defeated. Who’d dare go on stage and seek out their own misfortune?

Li Fenghan threw back his head and laughed uproariously. “This is the Mirror Lake Immortal Assembly the entire Immortal Realm is watching? All that talk of ‘ranked geniuses’, and none of you can take a single hit!”

His voice was full of utter mockery and disdain. His brazen arrogance had even the Immortal Lords gnashing their teeth in a fury.

Tang Weihan and the others felt utterly humiliated, and their faces were ashen. Some of them were ready and raring to go; they planned to risk their lives if need be.

“Allow me,” said Su Yi as he rose from his wicker chair.

His voice wasn’t loud, but against the oppressive silence, every word rang out loud and clear. All eyes were instantly upon him.

“Who is that?”

“I don’t know.”

“No matter who he is, stepping forward at a time like this means he’s sure got courage!”

…The area was in uproar, but no one could tell who Su Yi was.

Chu Baichan and the other Immortal Lords, meanwhile, noticed Fu Yunzhong accompanying Su Yi.

One of them couldn’t help but say, “Brother Fu, is this young friend perhaps a disciple of your Endless Jades Immortal Sect?”

Fu Yunzhong hurriedly shook his head. “Please don’t misunderstand, everyone. This is Fellow Daoist Su; he’s most certainly not my junior.”

He paused, his eyes shining with strange light. “Although Fellow Daoist Su has yet to step into the Immortal Dao, if he takes action, victory is certain!”

The crowd was in uproar.

He’s yet to become an Immortal? How could he possibly be a match for Li Fenghan?

Some of the onlookers had originally been full of high hopes for Su Yi, but this revelation left them speechless. They couldn’t help but shake their heads.

The higher-ups were gobsmacked. They almost thought they were hearing things.

Su Yi disregarded all this.

He rose from his wicker chair, took a step forward, and arrived at the ritual grounds.

“Are you really yet to enter the Immortal Dao?” exclaimed Li Fenghan. He couldn’t even imagine how anyone so foolish and ignorant could exist in this world.

Su Yi’s gaze was distant and inscrutable. “I’m more than enough to handle someone as shameless as you.”

Li Fenghan wasn’t upset at the insult. Rather, his brow furrowed. “Have you… perhaps realized where I come from?”

Su Yi took a confident step forward and said casually, “What do you think?”

Li Fenghan snorted coldly. “I think a little whelp like you isn’t even qualified to kneel before me!”

Boom!

He attacked directly with everything he had.

In the blink of an eye, murderous intent filled the air, and countless blood-red illusory fists descended upon Su Yi like a meteor shower.

“Be careful!” Tang Weihan and the others shouted. They’d all lost to Li Fenghan, and they were naturally well aware that he was as terrifying as a god of slaughter.

But Su Yi made no attempt to dodge. He shook his sleeves, formed a hand seal, and struck the air.

Boom!

His palm strike was like an axe through bamboo, shattering the blood-red illusory fists into countless pieces.

Su Yi charged forward and swung his palm.

Li Fenghan bellowed, swung his fist, and met his strike head-on.

Crunch!

His right arm broke.

But the power of Su Yi’s palm strike was entirely undiminished. It seemed nothing could stand in its way.

Bang!

He slammed Li Fenghan to the ground, shaking the stage.

Li Fenghan was sprawled out on the ground like a convulsing toad, his flesh a bloody pulp. Shockingly, he couldn’t get back up.

One palm strike had suppressed Li Fenghan!

Crisp and direct.

The entire crowd was shaken. Without exception, their eyes widened, their jaws hung slack, and they fell into a daze.
