First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1643 - Next

Before the duel began, everyone figured that even if Su Yi was strong enough to contend with Immortal Lords, he was sure to lose against an opponent as terrifying as Jin Wugen.

It even seemed likely that he’d be cruelly trampled beneath Jin Wugen’s feat!

Who’d have thought the battle would end in the blink of an eye? Su Yi broke Jin Wugen’s offensive with a wave of his sleeves!

A single hand gesture, and Jin Wugen was thoroughly suppressed.

He did it all in one fell swoop, as if it were no more difficult than taking something out of his pocket.

Deathly silence descended over the entire area. Everyone was wide-eyed and tongue-tied.

Many of them even suspected that their eyes were playing tricks on them.

Over in the demons’ camp, the Demon Kings and Demon Nobles were dumbstruck. They understood Jin Wugen’s strength far better than the immortals, and they knew he was stronger than Jin Zhong or Fu Xuesheng. He was comparable to Feng Chi.

Who’d have thought he’d lose practically as soon as the battle began?

And to a tender young Universe Realm Immortal at that?

Who wouldn’t have been surprised?

“Break!”

Jin Wugen roared in fury. Demonic flames rose around his entire body, and he struggled with terrifying force.

But when Su Yi pressed down on the air...

Bang! Bang!

Jin Wugen’s legs broke and disintegrated, the flesh pulped and the bones reduced to powder. As his blood splattered over the ground, he roared in agony.

The distant onlookers winced just watching it.

But it wasn’t over. Su Yi drew his finger through the air, severing Jin Wugen’s arms. Then, as his opponent watched in terror and despair, he raised his foot and crushed his skull!

Bang!

His skull exploded into pieces, splattering the ground like a crushed watermelon.

The onlookers couldn’t help but recall what Jin Wugen had said before the battle began.

“Listen up, you little wretch. First, I’m going to break your legs. Then, I’ll tear off your arms. When I’m done with that, I’ll crush your skull beneath my feet!”

Now, all of his threats had been realized... on him! The irony was unquestionable.

Everyone was stunned.

The immortals finally dared to believe what Pei Hongjing had said earlier. The Universe Realm Su Yi wasn’t just strong enough to contend with Immortal Lords. He could even cross two realms of cultivation to brutalize peak Demon Nobles with ease!

“That kid is seriously this strong?” Garrison Master Shen Qingshi’s expression shifted erratically.

When Su Yi went into battle, Shen Qingshi warned him that if his performance wasn’t satisfactory, he’d carve his non the Seventh Gate of Heaven’s Pillar of Shame.

But now that Su Yi had suppressed Jin Wugen with ease, his warning seemed like one big joke!

The Immortal Kings who’d made fun of Su Yi earlier all looked uncomfortable, and all of them looked at each other in astonishment.

They couldn’t even imagine how just an unreasonable, heaven-defying monster had appeared in the Immortal Realm!

It was absolutely unprecedented, unheard of!

“So, it turns out that Universe Realm Immortals really can kill peak Demon Nobles... It’s just that no one capable of this has ever appeared before...” Madam Xiangyun’s eyes sparkled. “Brother Pei, no wonder you had such confidence in Fellow Daoist Su. You really can’t judge an unrivaled figure like him by his cultivation base!”

Pei Hongjing nodded repeatedly. He’d finally relaxed.

Although he’d learned of Su Yi’s accomplishments at Blue Cliff Academy, he hadn’t seen them with his own eyes. He couldn’t help but have unspoken reservations.

But now, all of his reservations had vanished into thin air!

“This... is simply an unbelievable miracle!” Yu Sheng murmured. She looked dazed; she was stunned too.

The Immortal Realm’s camp quickly boiled over. Shouts of joy rose on all sides, filling the air.

The onlookers were excited and mad with delight. All of them cried out and cheered Su Yi on.

Those who’d jeered Su Yi felt as if they’d been slapped in the face, leaving their cheeks hot and stinging.

Sometimes, reality hit hard!

There was no need for Su Yi to pursue their insults. Everything they’d just said now cback to bite them. They looked utterly ridiculous!

In stark contrast, the demons were stifled and dejected. Their faces were overcast and unsightly.

Even the Demon Kings, experts who’d lived for countless years, were bewildered and uncertain.

If Su Yi had defeated Jin Wugen after a fierce battle, they could have at least gotten a feel for Su Yi’s true strength.

But none of that had happened. It was all over in the blink of an eye; Su Yi slew Jin Wugen as if he were swatting an insect.

This was far too terrifying! They couldn’t even imagine how strong this Universe Realm Immortal really was.

“We absolutely cannot leave that boy alive,” whispered Yin Xiaotian.

Su Yi was this heaven-defying even in the Universe Realm. How terrifying would he becif the demons gave him tto rise to greater heights of the Immortal Dao?

The mere thought of it was enough to send chills down their spines!

“Someone this heaven-defying actually appeared in the Immortal Realm?” Yin Beiwu had disdained to fight personally all this time, but now, he couldn’t help but frown. His eyes flashed.

He suddenly realized that Su Yi was now the greatest variable in this Immortal-Demon Deathmatch!

Even Yin Beiwu had no choice but to take him seriously!

“Who wants to die next?” Su Yi brushed off his clothes and asked as casually as if he were inquiring about the weather.

The clamor of voices instantly died down. A stifled, oppressive atmosphere enveloped the surrounding area once more.

Su Yi stood there, cutting a solitary figure. His blue robes swayed in the wind, and he had the air of one who’d risen above it all.

However, the way everyone looked at him had changed completely!

“Bai Qi, you’re up next!” Demon King Yin Xiaotian said gravely.

“Got it!”

A figure shot onto the battlefield. He was a broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, steady male with dark silver eyes. He gripped a short axe in each hand, and his blood-red cape fluttered in the wind.

He was a peak Demon Noble of the Darkshadow Demons, and he was among the five strongest of the eighteen Demon Nobles participating in this Immortal-Demon Deathmatch!

Kcch!

As soon as Bai Qi arrived on the battlefield, appalling shadows burst around him, plunging heaven and earth into seemingly perpetual darkness.

Countless shadows interwove, and truth and lies combined to manifest a vision of a dark abyss.

The Abyss of Divine Shadows!

At the stime, Bai Qi blurred, then split into countless shadowy figures, like thousands upon thousands of clones. As they shot through the endless darkness, it was all but impossible to tell which was real and which were fake.

This was yet another strange secret art: the Three Thousand Shadow Doppelgangers!

When unleashed, it created countless illusions, and more and more illusory figures formed continuously at the intersection of light and shadow, catching foes off guard!

Experts of the Darkshadow Demon Race relied on these two strange secret arts to becthe most dangerous assassins of the nine great demon races!

And Bai Qi was a peak Demon Noble of the Darkshadow Demon Race. Over the years, he and his fellows had even assassinated Demon Kings before!

“Wonderful! Bai Qi can definitely take that boy down!” When they saw Bai Qi use his killer move right off the bat, the other demons sighed in relief.

Conversely, the immortals couldn’t help but tense.

The Immortal Kings could tell that Bai Qi’s secret art was extraordinarily terrifying. He was far more terrifying than Jin Wugen, Su Yi’s last opponent!

But against all expectations——

Su Yi remained in place, neither fleeing nor dodging.

Kcch!

Amidst the landscape shrouded in overlapping shadows, Bai Qi lifted his short axes and silently swung at Su Yi’s back.

Su Yi didn’t even turn to look at him. He just raised his hand and pressed down on the air.

Bang!

The surrounding thousand feet of sky caved in with a bang. Bai Qi’s figure was ripped to shreds amidst the collapsing skies.

But then, cold laughter resounded from above Su Yi’s head. “You fell for it!”

A shadow descended accompanying this voice, swinging his twin axes. Their edges glinted, white as snow, and tore two startling rifts in the air.

Boom!

Su Yi split open.

But to the crowd’s astonishment, they quickly realized that “Su Yi” was just an afterimage, not the real thing.

“Shit!” Bai Qi cried out in alarm and turned to flee, only for a large, slender hand to seize him by the throat.

“In my eyes, the Abyss of Divine Shadows is no more than an unseemly little diversion.”

A calm voice echoed through Bai Qi’s ears, but before he could react, his neck snapped.

In the last moments before his death, he finally saw his killer clearly. He wasn’t sure when he’d gotten there, but Su Yi was standing directly behind him, disdain written all over his face.

Then, everything went black, and Bai Qi lost all awareness.

Bang!

Su Yi tossed Bai Qi’s corpse into the air, where it exploded into ash.

The shadows shrouding heaven and earth popped like soap bubbles and disappeared.

He’d eradicated Bai Qi in a single strike!

Su Yi’s crisp and direct killing methods astonished the crowd once more.

“He... He.... How did he do that?”

Even sof the Immortal Kings found this unbelievable.

They naturally knew how terrifying and troublesDarkshadow Demons were. They were like natural-born assassins, capable of hiding in the shadows and catching foes off guard.

Who’d have thought a peak Darkshadow Demon Noble like Bai Qi would lose?

The crowd was instantly in uproar, like a pot boiling over. The demons were once again stunned by Su Yi’s abilities.

And the demons’ expressions were darker than ever, a mix of rage and shock.

Earlier, Jin Wugen was suppressed and killed in a flash.

Now, a single strike had snapped Bai Qi’s neck!

It all just seemed so unbelievable. The demons almost dared not believe it.

Yin Xiaotian and the other Demon Kings’ expressions were overcast. They were all completely bewildered.

How could a Universe Realm Immortal be this heaven-defying?

They couldn’t see through it!

“It seems he saw through the weaknesses of the Abyss of Divine Shadows at a glance, and he locked onto the true Bai Qi hidden among the three thousand doppelgangers!” one of the Demon Kings said grimly. “I can’t even imagine how a Universe Realm Immortal like him pulled it off!”

The others changed glances. They were stunned too.

But Su Yi acted as if he’d done something entirely trivial and unassuming. He raised his jug of wine, took a sip, and said calmly, “Next.”

It was just one, light airy word, yet to the Demon Nobles, it was like a countdown to their impending doom. They couldn’t help but feel intense pressure bearing down on them.

Even Yin Beiwu’s eyes glinted with sharp, imposing light when he looked at Su Yi.
