First Immortal of the Sword

s on the verge of running out.
When you leave the ritual grounds, it won’t be able to borrow the power sealing the gate any longer.”

His tone was utterly derisive.
“If you think subduing the sword means you can threaten us, you’ve really let your imagination get the best of you.”

His voice was utterly disdainful. 

“Su Yi, you can see the situation too.
Only by cooperating with us can you leave alive, and moreover, receive a portion of whatever treasure we obtain on this expedition.
If you stubbornly refuse to see the light, you’ll surely die here,” said Yan Jingyun sincerely.
“Please, listen to me.
Back down.
Don’t bring harm upon yourself.”

“You’re wrong.
Even without borrowing the power sealing the gate, if I want to kill you, it’ll be no different from slaughtering a bunch of dogs and chickens,” said Su Yi.
He put one hand behind the back, while the other raised Celestial Blue as he emerged from the ritual grounds.
“If you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to try me.”

This left the entire group stunned.
They would never have guessed that Su Yi would dare leave the ritual grounds!

Leaving meant that Celestial Blue could no longer borrow the power of the seal, which meant it could no longer threaten them!

This behavior was completely idiotic, to the point that they found it hard to believe. How… How could this guy be so arrogant and foolish!?

“Like killing dogs and chickens? It seems to me you’re the one courting death!” Jing Lingzhen snorted coldly.
He was the first to attack.

Whoosh!

His tall, gaunt figure was as swift as lightning.
While still in midair, he drew his saber and slashed at Su Yi.

It was just one slash, but silver light swept through the air, like a silver river dancing amidst the nine heavens.
The flourishing saber force shook both heaven and earth.

Bang!

Su Yi raised his hand, and Celestial Blue slashed through the sky, stirring up dazzling, misty blue light that blocked the descending saber strike.

Then, with a turn of the wrist, Celestial Blue’s rusted blade burst with enormous divine majesty and slashed with the mysterious truths of the Great Five Elements Suppression Domain Sword.

Boom!

Amidst the earth-shaking booms, five elemental sword mountains bore down.

Jing Lingzhen’s pupils constricted, and he bellowed.
His saber stirred up explosive silver saber qi, which swept forth like a windstorm.

The Radiant Silver Vortex!

This was Jing Lingzhen’s ultimate move.

However, a mere moment later, beneath the Great Five Elements Suppression Domain Sword, the silver windstorm burst apart as if it were made of paper mache.
The resulting currents spread out in all directions.

Immediately afterward, a terrifying suppressive force bore down on Jing Lingzhen.
He lost control of his body, and his knees slammed to the ground with an audible thud. 

One sword had suppressed Jing Lingzhen!

That unstoppable force left the onlookers so stunned that their jaws practically fell off.
How could a single Gathering Stars Realm cultivator repress a Spiritual Manifestation Realm existence like Jing Lingzhen with such ease!?

Especially since Jing Lingzhen was a top figure even among monsters of the ancient era.
After entering the Spiritual Manifestation Realm, his strength was far beyond that of the world’s older-generation Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivators!

But now…

After just one attack, Jing Linzheng was forced to his knees!

Who wouldn’t have been surprised?

Even Jing Lingzhen was practically stunned out of his wits.
By the time he realized what was happening, endless shame rose within his heart.
His face was ashen, and his eyes seemed like they were on the verge of popping out of their sockets.

“Activate!” Jing Lingzhen bellowed, power surging around him.
It was as if his blood and qi were on fire; he’d obviously used some utterly terrifying secret art.

But beneath the Great Five Elements Suppression Domain Sword, his attempts to struggle free seemed pitifully weak.
The defensive treasures he had all over his body burst apart.

In the end, he was forced to the ground, his skin tearing and his bones audibly creaking and scraping beneath more pressure than they could bear.

“You’re courting death!” The man in blood-red clothing was enraged, and he attacked without hesitation.

Boom!

He shot through the air, shrouded in monstrous blood-colored light as he swung his palm at Su Yi.

He was just the primordial spirit of a peak Spiritual Integration Realm cultivator, but his power and majesty were terrifying beyond limit.
He was far beyond Jing Lingzhen. 

A mocking smile rose on Su Yi’s lips.

He’d once single-handedly taken down a group of nine Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivators, Huan Shaoyou included, without so much as furrowing his brow.
How could something like this stop him?

Without any hesitation at all, Su Yi swung his sword and thrust forward. 

Whoosh!

Celestial Blue swung, bringing with it dazzling blue light, and it clashed with the palm head-on.

A heaven-shaking boom rang out.
The sword qi was like an axe cleaving through bamboo, blasting the red-clothed middle-aged man’s palm strike into bits and making him stop suddenly in midair.
He couldn’t advance even an inch.

Su Yi staggered slightly, and throughout his body, his blood and qi churned.

“With my current cultivation, fighting a peak Spiritual Integration Realm primordial spirit really is a bit exhausting,” said Su Yi, his brow furrowing slightly.

“This…”

Off in the distance, both Yan Jingyun and the white-robed elder were stunned.
Their expressions filled with shock.
Neither would have imagined that Su Yi could actually block the middle-aged man’s attack.
This was completely beyond their imaginations!

“How is this possible?” The man in blood-colored clothing was flabbergasted.
It was as if he’d seen a ghost.

His palm strike could easily exterminate anyone in the Spiritual Manifestation Realm.
Who’d have thought a young Gathering Stars Realm cultivator could block it?

“That’s all you’ve got?” Su Yi asked calmly.
“And you said you’d take my head? You overestimate yourself.”

As his voice rang out, Su Yi raised his hand and swung his sword.

Splurt!

 He’d already forced Jing Lingzhen to the ground, and the monster of the ancient era had no way to dodge.
The sword took his head clean off, and it rolled across the floor, leaving a trail of blood.

His eyes were wide open and angry even in death.
