First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 687: Su Yi’s Sword

The grand elder!

When Dongguo Feng saw the yellow-robed elder leading the group, his pupils constricted, and he seemed to realize something. His brow silently furrowed.

The yellow-robed elder was called Dongguo Hai. He was a grand elder of the Dongguo Family, a high-level authority figure.

The six others with him were all prominent members of the clan too.

When the group arrived at the scene of the battle and saw the disheveled, blood-covered Dongguo Feng, they were all stunned.

“Feng’er, you… You actually lost?” exclaimed Dongguo Hai.

As he spoke, he and his companions scanned the area. All of them looked at Su Yi.

When they saw that Su Yi didn’t have so much as a single hair out of place, their expressions darkened. They’d already picked up several hints.

Dongguo Feng said calmly, “In competitions of the Grand Dao, victory and defeat are commonplace. I just don’t know what you’ve come here to do?”

Dongguo Hai calmed himself down, a conflicted look on his face. “The family head was concerned that something unexpected would happen, so he sent us over. I wouldn’t have guessed it, but something unexpected really did happen…”

The other Dongguo Family higher-ups looked alarmed and uncertain too.

They couldn’t even imagine it. Dongguo Feng was seventh on the Ranking of Stars, the leading figure of their younger generation. How could he possibly have lost to someone like Su Yi?

However, Su Yi found all of this awfully dull.

He faced Cloudsky Divine Mountain and beckoned Wen Xinzhao over. “Xinzhao, let’s go.”

This declaration left everyone present flabbergasted.

Don’t tell me Su Yi seriously doesn’t realize? The moment Dongguo Hai and the others arrived, the situation changed. How could he possibly leave just like that?

“Want to leave? Don’t even think about it!” Dongguo Hai scowled and said coldly.

Whoosh!

The six Spiritual Incarnation cultivators accompanying him all locked onto Su Yi, their expressions unfriendly.

The atmosphere was instantly tense and stifled.

It’s obvious that those old timers won’t just let this go.?Wen Xinzhao’s heart clenched, and her delicate eyebrows knit with worry.

However, she nonetheless chose to leave with Su Yi, heedless of the consequences.

“Brother Su, can I bring my master and Qing Ya with me?” asked Wen Xinzhao.

“Of course,” Su Yi agreed with a smile.

As they conversed, they completely ignored Dongguo Hai and his companions. Their expressions gradually darkened in response.

“Yu Jiuzhen, is that a disciple of your Cloudsky Divine Palace?” Dongguo Hai said gravely.

Yu Jiuzhen’s heart shook, and he said hurriedly, “She is indeed.”

Dongguo Hai said expressionlessly, “How can you let a traitor like her be? Go capture her personally! We’ll punish her later.”

His voice shook the heavens.

Throughout Cloudsky Divine Palace, everyone’s expressions shifted.

Yu Jiuzhen’s expression froze, and his heart was in turmoil.

He felt trapped by circumstances. Despite his lofty position as leader of Cloudsky Divine Palace, he felt an unprecedented sense of sullen grief and frustration.

If he disobeyed, he was sure to offend the Dongguo Family.?But if he obeyed, he’d irrevocably offend Su Yi.?He could neither retreat nor advance!

When Su Yi saw this, he couldn’t help but frown.

However, before he could say anything, Dongguo Feng said gravely, “Grand Elder, what happened here today has nothing to do with Cloudsky Divine Palace!”

The leading figure of the Dongguo Family’s younger generation was obviously enraged. “Also, I said before our duel began that no matter who won, Su Yi’s enmity with the Dongguo Family would end here!

“Even if I seek revenge in the future, I’ll do so on my own behalf, and challenge Su Yi openly. I won’t involve the clan in any way. If you pursue this course of action, won’t it mean I’ve gone back on my word?”

His voice reverberated throughout heaven on earth.

The crowd was visibly moved.

Who’d have thought that the first to voice his opposition for Dongguo Hai’s orders would be Dongguo Feng?

Even Su Yi couldn’t help but take a second look at Dongguo Feng.

Dongguo Hai and the others were all a bit astonished.

“Feng’er, that’s your nature. We naturally understand where you’re coming from,” Dongguo Hai said indifferently. “However, you’re just too young. How can you play around when it comes to grudges? Don’t forget: Su Yi killed your brother! He’s the irrevocable enemy of the Dongguo Family, and we must see him killed. How can you concern yourself about promises when dealing with someone so contemptible?”

He paused, then swept his cold gaze across Wen Xinzhao, Daoist Master Coldsmoke, and Qing Ya. “And then there’s them! They’re members of Cloudsky Divine Palace, yet they’re colluding with an enemy like Su Yi? They ought to be punished severely to warn others against following their example!

“That’s right! That’s exactly what we ought to do!” The other higher-ups voiced their approval, one after another.

The onlookers’ felt a chill course through their hearts.

Who could fail to realize that Dongguo Hai was determined to exterminate Su Yi?

Dongguo Feng’s face was ashen in a rare display of utter fury. “Grand Elder, you…!”

Dongguo Hai let out a long sigh and interrupted him. “Feng’er, you’re a good boy, but you’re fixated on the blade, and you don’t understand worldly affairs. I know you might feel aggrieved and that you might not understand. Once we’ve killed Su Yi, I’ll apologize to you personally.”

Dongguo Feng was so angry that he laughed.

He suddenly took a deep breath, then said emphatically, “I said, one day, I’ll avenge my younger brother on my own. If you make me go back on my word today, when I become the leader of our family, I’ll be sure to cleanse the clan of every last one of you!”

He spoke with utter conviction.

The Dongguo Family higher-ups frowned.

“Child, you might have impressive attainments in the Dao of the Sword, but you’re still far too immature,” said Dongguo Hai. He sighed deeply. “No matter what, Su Yi must die today. Feng’er, if the day comes that you take over as leader of the family, if you really want to ‘cleanse’ us old-timers, we’ll have nothing to say.”

As he said this, he looked utterly determined.

The onlookers’ hearts sank. Dongguo Hai’s attitude was too forceful; he wasn’t considering Dongguo Feng’s feelings at all.

It was then that Qing Ya chimed in indignantly, “You horrible old man! During the duel earlier, Big Brother Su Yi showed mercy and spared Dongguo Feng’s life!”

The Dongguo Family experts who’d witnessed the duel all looked a bit uncomfortable.

However, Dongguo Hai just said coolly, “If Su Yi was just worried we’d come after him to settle the score. Why else would he have shown mercy?”

He paused, then said slowly, “But still, he did us a favor. How about this? I’ll overlook your insults, little girl. Consider letting you off the?hook my way?of repaying the favor. Otherwise, you would have paid for those words with your life!”

“Shameless!” Qing Ya gnashed her teeth in fury.

Su Yi couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t be angry, lass. How about this? I’ll pluck off his head, and you can kick it around like a ball.”

The crowd was flabbergasted.

How could Su Yi laugh at a time like this?

Qing Ya said crisply, “Big Brother Su Yi, I have no desire to kick a shameless old fart’s head around. I just want him to hurry up and explode. It’ll keep him from dirtying my eyes any longer.”

“.....”

Dongguo Hai and his companions’ expressions gradually darkened.

“That works too.” Su Yi nodded.

He’d only just said this when he took a step into the air and approached Dongguo Hai and his companions. He seemed leisurely and relaxed, but it looked like he was about to attack.

“I’ll look after Feng’er and prevent him from doing anything he shouldn’t. You all work together to take that madman down,” ordered Dongguo Hai.

“Got it!” The six Dongguo Family Spiritual Incarnation experts agreed.

Dongguo Hai, meanwhile, took a step forward and arrived beside Dongguo Feng. His gaze was utterly pitying. “Feng’er, your wounds are severe. Take your time and heal.”

Dongguo Feng silently clenched his fists, and his veins?bulged?on his forehead.

He was an utterly dazzling, extraordinary genius of the Dao of the Sword. He could face death with equanimity and fight with no regard for his survival. However, he now felt indescribable grief and indignation.

This was the first time he’d ever felt so helpless!

Dongguo Hai whispered, “Child, after today, you’re sure to mature.”

Dongguo Feng said nothing.

Meanwhile, beneath the distant dome of heaven.

Six Spiritual Incarnation realm cultivators blocked Su Yi’s way ahead. All of them looked murderous, their auras monstrous and terrifying.

The strongest were in the late-stage Spiritual Incarnation Realm, while the weakest were in the early stage!

When six such older-generation experts of the Dongguo Family fought together, their suppressive aura alone made the crowd tense up. They felt as if their souls had left their bodies!

I’m afraid Su Yi’s really done for this time…?Yu Jiuzhen sighed.

Daoist Master Coldsmoke silently clenched her fists, and her face paled.

Wen?Xinzhao bit her lip and clutched the talisman Su Yi had given her, the Butterfly?Transforming?the Firmament.

Only Qing Ya didn’t seem worried in the least. On the contrary, her eyes shone with eagerness as she watched Su Yi.

“Kill him!”

With a bellow, the curtains opened on another battle.

Six Spiritual Incarnation Realm cultivators each activated their treasures, surrounding Su Yi, and attacked.

Boom!

Heaven and earth trembled, and the landscape lost its color.

Daoist seals, treasure bottles, jade rulers, flying swords, fly whisks… all manner of treasures swept through the air like a current of destruction. All of them were targeted at Su Yi.

Their radiance blanketed heaven and earth!

This sight would have been enough to make any other Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivator tremble and give in to despair.

Why did it turn out like this??Dongguo Feng’s heart was full of sorrow, and he felt as if his eyes were about to burst.

His injuries were too severe, and furthermore, Dongguo Hai was keeping a close eye on him. There was nothing Dongguo Feng could do to stop this!

Dongguo Hai, meanwhile, watched this play out with a smile.

Clang!

Suddenly, the clear, impassioned hum of a sword reverberated throughout the nine heavens.

It was then that Dongguo Feng saw Su Yi’s sword for the first time.

It was as black and ethereal as the night sky and brimming with spirituality. Its glint was clear and pure, and its edge was as thin as a cicada’s wing. The faint, illusory projection of a vicious bird was visible on the surface of the blade.

“Why hasn’t he forged that sword into his natal spirit treasure yet…?” Dongguo Feng’s eyes revealed a hint of confusion.

There was nothing particularly special about this Sword. Its quality was far inferior to his Heart Killer!

However, when he sensed Su Yi’s aura, Dongguo Feng couldn’t help but feel surprised.

With his weapon in hand, although Su Yi remained as calm as ever, an air of contemptuousness spread out around him.

His imposing presence was inestimably greater than when he fought Dongguo Feng!

Before Dongguo Feng could react, Su Yi swung his sword and attacked.

Sword qi streaked through the air like a bolt of cloth, casting misty light and illuminating the heavens.

When this slash descended…

Boom!

The entire stretch of sky seemed to explode. Heaven and earth shook.

Countless onlookers watched in terror as Su Yi struck like a deity lifting a primordial divine mountain and dropping it onto the human world.

The joint attack of six Spiritual Incarnation Realm cultivators exploded into pieces!
