First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 951 - You Owe Me a Life

The Timekeeper.0

Even cultivators who lived in the City of Eternal Night year-round seldom knew of this mysterious old man’s existence.0

Those who did know of him practically never revealed anything about him.0

This was a naturally formed, unspoken rule, and it had stood throughout the ages.0

Wang Chonglu would never have guessed that a young Spiritual Revolution cultivator would know about the Timekeeper.0

But before long, he understood.0

A young man traveling along with an Unsinkable Boat almost certainly had a peak orthodoxy behind him. It was entirely possible that he had an extremely powerful backer.0

It wasn’t actually at all strange that a young man like that would know about the Timekeeper.0

“If you know about the Timekeeper, that makes this simple.” As he spoke, Wang Chonglu took a jade slip from his sleeves and passed it to Su Yi. “Here, hold onto this.”0

However, Su Yi shook his head. “You’d best give it to him yourself.”0

Wang Chonglu snorted coldly. “What, are you worried this will bring trouble upon you?”0

Su Yi’s gaze was calm and inscrutable. “No, I just think you’ll make it to the City of Eternal Night alive.”1

Wang Chonglu was briefly stunned, then moved.0

Others had long since seen him as an infamous old devil, an elite of the demonic path. Others paled at the mere mention of his name, and since he spent his days in the far reaches of the Sea of Bitterness, he’d overcome innumerable bloody battles.0

This was the first time anyone had ever tried to comfort him like this.0

And Su Yi’s words were just so pleasant to the ear!0

Wang Chonglu’s expression gradually mellowed. “You sure can talk, kid. But I’m doing this just in case, to prepare for all possibilities.”0

“In that case, why not tell me what’s recorded in the jade slip?” said Su Yi.0

Wang Chonglu shook his head. “You’re not a bad kid, and I’d hate to implicate you. Besides, if anything happens to you, others will mock me for being too inept to protect a junior.”0 142.93.60.102

“.....”0

“Quick, take it.” Wang Chonglu pushed the slip into Su Yi’s hands, leaving no room for argument.0

Su Yi didn’t refuse. He simply took it and started reading its contents.0

“How dare you!” Wang Chonglu was instantly beside himself with anger, and he tried to seize the slip back.0

“If you want me to help, you’d best not interfere,” said Su Yi without so much as looking up.0

Wang Chonglu froze, stunned. He’s so calm and composed that it seems he isn’t at all afraid I’ll attack him!0

“Aren’t you afraid of bringing disaster upon yourself?” Wang Chonglu looked conflicted.0

“Why should I be afraid?” Su Yi asked right back. As he spoke, he inserted his divine sense into the slip and perused its contents.0

“‘Why should you be afraid…?’” Wang Chonglu repeated. When he next looked at Su Yi, his expression had changed subtly. 0

This was his first time encountering such a strange youngster.0

It seemed that heaven and earth could crumble around him and he wouldn’t be the least bit afraid.0

Furthermore, he spoke to even an infamous old devil with calm composure, and he was neither humble nor servile.0

Such courage really was rare.0

But this only increased Wang Chonglu’s admiration of him. 0

“If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for learning secrets you shouldn’t have,” said the distant man in silver. With that, he attacked directly.1

Boom!0

He stepped forward, then shot forth like an arrow, swinging his spear explosively at Wang Chonglu.0

The monstrous Laws of Heavenly Prayer transformed into strange dark light, which wrapped around the silver-robed man’s spear. This filled his attack with destructive power difficult to put into words.0

The entire stretch of sky was in chaos, as if the curtain of night had been ripped open. Terrifying waves of energy swept outward, stirring up the entire stretch of sea.0

Were he in peak condition, Wang Chonglu wouldn’t have feared an opponent like this.0

But he was already badly injured, and he’d yet to truly recover. This placed him at an obvious disadvantage right from the start.0

Despite his predicament, when he sensed that Su Yi had yet to leave, Wang Chonglu instantly lost his temper, and his raspy voice boomed like thunder. “Kid, do you really think you’ll still be able to flee after I’m dead? Hurry up and scram! Scram!”0

Splurt!0

A bone-deep wound ripped open on Wang Chonglu’s shoulder, spraying blood.0

If he hadn’t dodged in time, this attack would have run his throat right through!0

Cold sweat poured down Wang Chonglu’s back, and he dared not divide his attention any further. He attacked with everything he had.0

“You’ll die, but that little ant won’t live through his either,” the silver-robed man said indifferently.0

Boom!0

His attacks were forceful, tyrannical, and heartless. A few blinks of the eye later, and Wang Chonglu could no longer return his attacks. He was covered in wounds, and blood flowed from his mouth in a nonstop stream.0

He was one of the Seven Devils of the Sea of Bitterness, the infamous Thunderflame Demon Sovereign, yet now, a Profound Illumination cultivator had left him injured to the brink of death!0

When Su Yi saw this, he sighed. “Wang Chonglu, you owe me your life.”0

“What?” Wang Chonglu practically lost it. What time does he think this is? He still hasn’t run, and now he’s talking complete nonsense! Is this kid insane?0

But it was then that he saw Su Yi step into the air from afar.0

Whoosh!0

Sword qi streaked through the air, as radiant as if it had been forged out of divine gold. Its searing brilliance thoroughly illuminated the entire stretch of sky.0

It was as if a sun had risen out of the boundless waters of the Sea of Bitterness, illuminating everything around it.0

Wang Chonglu’s pupils constricted, and his eyes stung.0

A chill coursed through the silver-robed Jailer’s heart, and the look on his cold, indifferent face shifted. He’d just sensed an indescribable threat.0

Without the slightest hesitation, he whipped around, put his full strength into his spear, and thrust.0

Practically simultaneously, Su Yi’s slash descended.0

Boom!0

Heaven and earth trembled, and the sun and moon dimmed by comparison.0

A torrent of destructive power swept outward, and throughout the surrounding ten-thousand-foot radius, the water churned, stirring up massive waves.0

Beneath Wang Chonglu’s disbelieving gaze, the silver-robed wilder of that taboo, calamitous power of the Grand Dao was sent flying.1

Before he’d even steadied himself, blood dripped from his mouth and nose.0

Even his spear wailed and shook violently in his grip!0

“This…” Despite his years of experience on the battlefield and despite having witnessed the ups and downs and worldly affairs, Wang Chonglu was struck dumb. He couldn’t even imagine how a young Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivator could wield such power.0

Now that Su Yi had attacked, he naturally showed no mercy.0

The silver-robed man had only just steadied himself when Su Yi appeared out of nowhere, raised his hand, and unleashed yet another dazzling streak of sword qi.0

Like a god of the Dao of the Sword, tyrannical beyond limit!
