I Am Supreme

Chapter 817: A Slash That Severs Life And Death!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At that very last moment when Yun Yang’s saber was unleashed, it underwent an unexpected transformation right before everybody’s eyes.

The moment the slash came plunging down from the skies, the snow-white saber, which was initially only three-feet long, underwent a sudden transformation, a massive and shocking metamorphosis!

The moment it descended, it suddenly extended into a seventy-feet long saber. The initial diagonally-moving slash turned into one horizontal sweeping movement, enveloping all seven men at the same time without missing a single one!

Furthermore, at that very moment, that mild, deliberately misleading tip of the blade suddenly took on the form of crackling lightning!

The sudden increase in speed was more than tenfold its original velocity!

Every single man sent by the Four Seasons Tower was a well-polished veteran, their lifetime’s worth of experience exceeding far more than a mere hundred battles. However, although the sum of their lifetimes might add up to nearly thousands of years, these seven men had never encountered such a bizarre situation!

Please, you were wielding a saber and not some lightning from the skies — how can it get so long upon your will?

This was a transformation that exceeded the cognitive capabilities of every normal person who was present.

The saber light had quickly transformed from mere lightning into a terrifying, fatal ray!

The first among them to suffer the greatest blow were January, February, and March. They heavily misjudged the extent of the blow that came hurtling towards them in close quarters, delivering almost no response to counter it. In a glaring flash of energy, they were cut into two, losing their lives immediately!

Even in their last moments, their faces were still wearing sneers of disdain!

That strike had been planned thoroughly before Yun Yang even began his move. He had plotted with due consideration and did not hold back at all when he played his hand, slaying three men at one go. Although it had already successfully taken down three men, the force of the attack still did not falter by the slightest as it went after the fourth man with astonishing speed!

The saber light rained down unforgivingly.

In fact, the fourth man had also lost his life from this slash. However, when the blade swept across his waist as Yun Yang was putting an end to him, a loud sound was emitted upon impact.

It was as if it had come into contact with an extremely hard piece of metal. Although the fourth man was still slain upon impact, this unparalleled force began to falter, coming to an inevitable halt.

A strike like this did not belong to the mortal realm!

When everybody finally came to their senses, everything had already ended!

Everything had happened just a hair’s breadth away in such an abrupt manner. The emission of life-giving fluids only came moments later, spewing into the air in an upward, exploding motion as the stench of blood permeated the atmosphere and spilled into the surroundings.

The remaining three men stared at Yun Yang in disbelief, then shifted their gaze to the ground, the rims of their eyes turning crimson.

They had only begun to recover their senses at this moment. That move embodied such a formidable aura of death!

The next emotion they felt churning within themselves was immeasurable wrath!

Brothers-in-arms whom they have known and trained with for years — comrades whom they have gone to battle with — had died under the opponent’s blade just like that! All four of them!

Furthermore, it was in the strangest of ways, under everybody’s watchful eyes.

How could the rest simply let this affront slide?

“Despicable!”

Spring spat on the ground, unable to maintain his elegant conduct, his eyes nearly ripping out of their sockets in anger.

“Despicable? Really?”

“This is an ultimate battle after all, so whatever methods utilized shall be permissible. Go on and throw out your best… This should already be a well-known fact, but I’m still used to reminding my opponents about this to enlighten the remainder of their lives, just in case they die without the knowledge of how they perished, bringing this regret to their graves. However, I feel something very strange about was this; you lot already knew that the battle had started, did you not? Although I was the one who delivered the first strike, you’re still able to dodge, couldn’t? Why didn’t you evade my strike? Can’t wait to die?” Yun Yang quizzed strangely, wielding Divine Edge in his grasp, which had already reverted into its original length.

Infuriated by his words, the three of them nearly spat blood!

Dodge?

How could we dodge that attack?

Never in this life have we dreamt of such an assault as strange as this — how are we supposed to dodge that unimaginable attack?

How would you have us dodge from that?

Reminding your opponents to enlighten their lives, to prevent them from bringing hatred to their graves?

With such words, why don’t you just ascend to the heavens already? You can go all out in being some noble advisor up there and enlighten every being!

After all, all three of them were veterans highly experienced in combat and top practitioners whose cultivation bases were at their peak state. With a furious roar of release, they instantly calmed their state of mind. At the same moment, they retaliated brazenly, smoothly morphing into a ‘品’-shaped formation, surrounding Yun Yang in all three directions.

A saber, a sword, a flute, and their shrillness broke the silence of the winds — the moment the sounds echoed through the peak, they sounded extraordinarily daunting.

Divine Edge, which had, at this point, reverted to its original size, danced and swayed feverishly in Yun Yang’s grasp. The saber glowed in an array of changing hues, resisting the three men just in time. Although he was entirely encircled and trapped, he did not make the slightest retreat!

Yun Yang, at a moment like this, still did not unleash Saber Truth: Destiny Blade as a form of attack. The real enemy had yet to appear — how could Yun Yang expose his trump card just like that?

However, the robust Mystical Qi rendered each and every strike of his with an unblockable, indefensible vigor.

Spring and the other two envoys restrained the rage within their hearts as best as they could. They engaged in fierce battle and thrust their best efforts into it, trying their hardest to crush Yun Yang into a pile of bone and ash. However, even after they had combined all their strengths, they could only strike a draw against Yun Yang, never able to gain the slightest upper hand.

Ji Lingxi stood at the side, watching the flight closely, and eventually heaved a sigh of relief.

Yun Yang’s first strike had caught his opponents off-guard, eliminating more than half of their forces unexpectedly. He was more in control of the fight before him; there was nothing to worry about, for Yun Yang was mostly accumulating his strength during that so-called ambush to prepare for the fight later on. After all, there were at least twenty-two top-notch experts lying in wait within the forest before them, awaiting the chance to attack!

Since there was nothing to worry about on Yun Yang’s side, let me focus my attention on threats which had yet to appear. It’ll be better to prevent potential risks from surfacing — I will make sure our bases are all covered.

At this moment, Ji Lingxi accidentally noticed a bright yellow glow emitting from the corpse of a yellow-cloaked envoy who had just bitten the dust. That yellow glow was concentrated at two main parts of the corpse — one at the neck and the other at the waist.

Ji Lingxi stared hard at it, feeling more perplexed by the second.

The bodies of high-level practitioners are considered special, for the Mystical Qi that defends their bodies or the attacks emitted from them would have a special glow. This was not surprising at all, for water, fire, wind, and lightning each has their respective elemental hues. However, no matter how outstanding the practitioners were, their auras would be dispelled upon death, and the special abilities rendered to their bodies would slowly dissipate alongside the diminishing traces of life. After that envoy had been slain into two halves by Yun Yang, surely he had kicked the bucket, so why was his corpse still glowing?

Ji Lingxi scrutinized it closely. She was quite sure that it was not just some reflection from the armor it had donned — it was truly a glow emitted from a portion of the corpse itself! That was the problem, then; what kind of strange happening is this? It’s far from normal!

Ji Lingxi muttered an inaudible chant mentally and stretched her hand out in a grasping gesture, raising the corpse in midair and maneuvering it towards her direction.

However, at this precise moment, a blinding yellow light appeared out of the blue. A silhouette emerged and approached Ji Lingxi at an alarming speed, seizing the corpse a step ahead before she could, tucking it under his arm before retreating as quick as lightning. “Young lady, I’m afraid you can’t have this.”
