Chapter 710: Nothing Can Stand in His Way
Wen Rufeng was dead!
Despite joining forces with four other Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivators, Su Yi had cut him down!
This bloody spectacle swept through the crowd’s hearts like a hurricane, stirring up waves of shock.
“A Spiritual Revolution Realm existence was cut down, just like that…” Mi Tianhe’s lips quivered, and his heart shook.
“Was that really the power of a Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivator?” Pu Surong’s expression froze. She, too, was stunned.
Spiritual Manifestation and Spiritual Revolution were two realms apart!
Who’d dare believe that a Spiritual Manifestation youth of the Azure Continent could cross two realms to kill a Spiritual Revolution expert even while outnumbered?
The cultivators of the ancient factions were, without exception, astonished and terrified.
Especially Zhou Zhi, who Su Yi had defeated and injured to the brink of death earlier. He was completely dumbstruck, and he trembled, unable to accept what he was seeing.
Meanwhile, on Mount Heavenbristle.
When the Xia Emperor saw this,?even he?couldn’t help but gasp. He swept his gaze across Wen Xinzhao, Weng Jiu, and the others. They too were as shaken as could be.
However, Huan Tianxu and the other Spiritual Revolution cultivators were undoubtedly the most shocked of all.
Wen Rufeng was killed before they could even rush to his aid!
Watching helplessly as Wen Rufeng was struck down left their scalps numb, and chills coursed through their entire bodies.
The atmosphere was terrifying and oppressive. The only sound was the resonant humming of a sword.
This was the sound of Abstruse Celestial. The deep and ethereal blade was as dark as the night sky, but it was bathed in faint crimson, giving it an additional intimidating, baleful ferocity.
Su Yi didn’t stop.
Cutting down Wen Rufeng meant nothing to him.
A bottom-of-the-barrel Spiritual Revolution cultivator, that was all. Defeating him didn’t even give Su Yi much of a sense of accomplishment.
He was bathed in the dusky, inscrutable aura of the Grand Dao as he charged at the other four Spiritual Revolution cultivators. He was tall and lean, with momentum as grand as the heavens.
The four Spiritual Revolution cultivators’ expressions shifted in response.
“Quick, get in formation! Attack Nine Tripod City!” Huan Tianxu roared, his voice shaking the nine heavens.
Boom!
Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, the nearby Spirit Dao cultivators of the five factions launched into action.
The Demonic Huan Family, the Burning Sun Sect, the Pure Emptiness Buddhist Sect, Hidden Cloud Sword Mountain, and Tianji Dao Mountain had each brought ten Spiritual Incarnation experts and twenty Spiritual Manifestation cultivators.
There were hundred and fifty Spirit Dao cultivators in total!
Each group of thirty arranged itself, forming five combat formations. All five charged in the direction of Nine Tripod City.
From a distance, it was as if five divine mountains were in motion. Golden light pierced the heavens, demonic flames blazed, boundless Buddhist radiance surged, and there was a dense and imposing sword formation…
Combat formations were best suited to large-scale conflicts between cultivators.
Pick any of the five factions’ combat formations at random, and it could present a lethal threat to a Spiritual Revolution cultivator.
However, after getting in formation, they didn’t attack Su Yi. Instead, they split up and charged at the distant Nine Tripod City.
Everyone could tell that this was an attempt to divide Su Yi’s attention.
But if Su Yi ignored it, Nine Tripod City would undoubtedly suffer.
However, if he went after the cultivators in formation, it would buy Huan Tianxu and the others time to catch their breath!
The Xia Emperor’s expression changed dramatically.
Given his powers of perception, how could he fail to realize the implications? In its current state, the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation might well block one of the combat formations.
But against five such formations at once, its power simply wouldn’t cut it!
“Kill!”
Five formations, a total of one hundred and fifty Spirit Dao cultivators, took action at once. Every onlooker’s expression shifted in response to their terrifying momentum.
At the same time, the four remaining Spiritual Revolution cultivators attacked and bore down on Su Yi. They seemed intent on holding him down.
However, Su Yi merely frowned, a cold glint in his eyes. “You dare play such petty tricks in front of me? You clearly don’t value your lives!”
He suddenly took a deep breath, and his cultivation blazed as if on fire. As it rumbled and boomed, he swung his sleeves and slashed with his sword.
It was as if a deity had raised a primordial divine mountain and slammed it into the world below.
His sword force was so abundant that it startled heaven and shook the earth, illuminating the nine heavens. It was far greater than before.
Boom!!
Divine radiance shook the skies, and an aura of destruction swept through the air. The four Spiritual Revolution cultivators’ joint suppression collapsed with a bang, and they were sent staggering back. All of them cut sorry figures.
Their earlier clashes had left all of them riddled with wounds and covered in blood. Although none of their injuries were fatal, they were enough to prevent them from unleashing their full strength.
They’d hoped to hold Su Yi back, leaving him unable to retreat or advance, much less defend the city.
Who’d have thought that one slash would crush their encirclement into pieces,?and?injure them even further in the process?
Meanwhile, now that the four Spiritual Revolution cultivators no longer stood in his way, Su Yi stepped into the air. He suddenly rose to his full height, his robes billowing around him as he slashed five times in a single breath.
In each slash, the profundities of the Rejoicing Sword Sutra’s Splitting Mountains and Seas was on full display!
The effort instantly depleted almost half of Su Yi’s spiritual power, and his handsome face paled slightly.
However, his expenditures meant that each streak of sword qi was unbelievably strong.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Five streaks of sword qi shot forth, arcing through the air like dazzling rainbows.
Their radiance was searingly bright, their force inestimable!
The crowd felt their bodies stiffen as an astonishing scene unfolded before them—
The fight combat formations, each?comprised?of thirty Spirit Dao cultivators, had yet to near Nine Tripod City when radiant sword qi descended upon them from on high.
Boom!
The resulting impact seemed to overturn heaven and earth.
The Demonic Huan Family’s formation was at the vanguard. The sword qi cut through their ranks, shattering their formation. Moments prior, it had blazed with demonic flames, but now, it had collapsed completely.
But that wasn’t all. Most of the Spiritual Manifestation cultivators couldn’t dodge in time, and the boundless destructive aura obliterated them.
Even some of the Spiritual Incarnation cultivators were grievously wounded, and they cried out in agony.
Immediately afterward—
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A similar fate befell the other four ancient factions’ combat formations.
Each slash seemed limitlessly powerful, as if nothing could stand in its way. All four formations instantly collapsed.
Moreover, countless Spirit Dao cultivators were injured or killed!
All of a sudden, blood fell like rain, and cries of agony shook the heavens. It was like a bloody vision of purgatory.
Just five strikes!
In just five strikes, he broke through five combat formations composed of Spirit Dao cultivators!
Everyone who saw this felt as if they’d been plunged into an icy abyss, or as if their souls had left their bodies.
Terrifying!
The ancient factions had hoped to divert Su Yi’s attention and force him to defend the city.
But in the blink of an eye, he didn’t just break through the Spiritual Revolution experts’ joint attempt to stop him. He even destroyed five combat formations in one fell swoop, shattering them one by one!
“Bastard!” Huan Tianxu’s eyes bulged; it looked as if they might burst.
Pure Cloud’s face was ashen.
Nie Wanzhi looked overcome with fury.
Xue Moning gnashed his teeth so hard, it seemed they might break.
They’d come here as part of an alliance, their forces vast and powerful. They swore to trample the imperial family, drawing the attention of the entire nation.
Who’d have thought that Su Yi alone could keep them out of the city? Or that he’d cut through their forces and destroy their formation?
“It’s your turn.” After breaking through the five combat formations, Su Yi’s calm voice rang out, and he turned toward Huan Tianxu and the others once more.
“Quick, attack together! Surround him!” Huan Tianxu’s voice spread throughout the entire area.
The experts of the ancient factions were no longer in formation, and their forces were scattered. Nonetheless, all of them charged.
They knew they couldn’t let things go on like this. They had to put everything they had into killing Su Yi. Otherwise, they had no hope of turning this around.
“Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!”
Murderous shouts reverberated through the air, and divine light surged. Heaven and earth shook.
It was as if the surviving experts of the five ancient factions had gone insane. They all called upon their treasures and secret arts and attacked Su Yi with everything they had.
But their efforts were to no avail.
Never mind that Su Yi’s earlier clash with the Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivators had left them covered in wounds; in destroying their combat formations, he’d already killed or wounded more than half of their forces!
And Su Yi naturally wouldn’t give them a chance to counterattack!
When capturing bandits, you targeted their leader first. That applied to other enemies as well!
Clang!
The humming of a sword shook heaven and earth. Su Yi’s robes billowed around him as he slashed through his foes’ encirclement. His sword slashed past Xue Moning, its edge glinting so brightly that it stung the eyes.
The high elder of the Burning Sun Sect suddenly froze in place.
A red line appeared on his forehead. At first, it was?but?a thin line, but it rapidly spread downward, down his nose, lips, neck, and chest… In the end, he split down the midline. Tyrannical sword qi erupted out of the bloody cut.
“How could I possibly die here…?” Xue Moning’s eyes shone with disbelief, and his soul trembled violently. It seemed he was trying to fuse his physical body back together, but to no avail. Su Yi’s slash destroyed him, both body and soul.
In the end, that terrifying sword qi reduced him to mincemeat!
The second Spiritual Revolution expert had fallen!
Su Yi was indeed far too powerful.
He was just one person facing an army all on his own, yet he cut through them like an axe through bamboo. Nothing could stand in his way!
Streaks of sword qi sliced through the air.
Every strike hit its mark without fail. Some were grievously wounded, while others were cut down where they stood. The entire area sank into upheaval and destruction.
Blood flew through the air, and miserable, desperate cries rang out, over and over again.
Spirit Dao cultivators of the five allied ancient factions died, one after another.
The strongest of them was the old monk, Pure Cloud, with his nigh undying golden body. However, even he was covered in cuts, his wounds overlapping like the threads of a spider’s web. It was a shocking sight.
“Bastard! I’ll fucking kill you!” Suddenly, a frenzied roar reverberated through the air.
It was as if Huan Tianxu were burning himself up; he forcefully rose his cultivation, his fists beating the Profound Demon Wardrum. Crimson soundwaves thick as pillars shot toward Su Yi.
Every time his fist hit the drum, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
In the end, half his body was stained red with blood, and his face was as white as a sheet.
He was burning his own cultivation base in an attempt to bring Su Yi down with him. In this state, his power was unquestionably as terrifying as could be!
