First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1400 - Seizing His Moment of Weakness to Kill Him!

Heaven and earth were deathly silent. Even the birds ceased their song.

Hong Feiguan was dead!

But he hadn’t died in their duel. Rather, he’d died beneath the fist of a Hong Family immortal’s will!

This result was entirely unexpected.

It was also completely incomprehensible. How could an unparalleled figure like Hong Feiguan have considered the rules more important than his own life?

Everyone, no matter who they were, found this result astonishing!

“It’s a pity...” Mo Yuanshan sighed.

Mo Qingchou had a complicated look on her face too. She suddenly realized that she’d been mistaken this whole time. Hong Feiguan was a prideful, contemptuous figure. He’d rather die than violate the rules of his duel. He naturally was nothing like the Hong Family’s motley old riffraff!

“Feiguan—!” Hong Jiuchong cried out in grief, his eyes bulging. The other Hong Family old-timers looked similarly grief-stricken and furious.

Within the Hong Family, Hong Feiguan had extraordinary talent and terrifying foundations. He was a leading figure even amongst descendants of immortals, and his position surpassed even some of their elders.

Some of their old fogies had long since considered him their next leader, and they were training him accordingly!

But now.... Hong Feiguan was dead!

Who could possibly have accepted this?

“Feiguan died because of you! You have to accompany him to the grave!” Beneath the dome of heaven, the terrifying immortal avatar fixed his icy gaze on the distant Su Yi. His voice shook both heaven and earth, and everything around them trembled.

“That’s right! That little wretch must die!” Hong Jiuchong’s hair and beard bristled with anger, and his face was ashen as he bellowed in fury.

He had a chest full of grief and anger with nowhere to vent, so he pointed his spear at Su Yi.

“Compared to Hong Feiguan, you old-timers... really are a detestable pack of lowlifes,” Su Yi said softly.

He then gazed at the distant Mo Qingchou. “Remember: you are not to interfere.”

Mo Qingchou really wanted to ask, “Things have already come this far. Why exactly are you being so insistent about this? Why insist on fighting your enemies alone even if it costs you your life? Or are you just worried about implicating the Mo Family?”

But in the end, she forced the words back down.

“Get him!”

Terrifying murderous intent swept forth like a wave. That immortal avatar of will stepped forward in the air and swung his fist at Su Yi.

It was just one punch, but the skies collapsed and Yin and Yang switched positions! This was far beyond the bounds of the Cloud Soaring Realm. It was just one punch, but the majesty of an immortal was on full display.

Su Yi’s expression was grim. He raised his hand and summoned the Divine Replenishment Furnace.

Weng!

The Divine Replenishment Furnace rumbled, boomed, and soared into the air, bursting with purple immortal light. Its light interwove into talisman markings that bore down on the air. Shockingly, they frittered the giant fist to nothingness in a single attempt!

But Su Yi didn’t get off scot-free, either. The terrifying aftershock left him staggering on his feet, and he couldn’t help but take several steps back.

The crowd was stunned. What a mystical furnace! It’s obviously a wondrous immortal treasure!

“At the battle of Mount Clearmoon, that bastard used that furnace to suppress and kill the Blue Astral Immortal Flood Dragon!” someone cried out.

All of a sudden, numerous gazes heated up. Who wasn’t keenly aware of how valuable an immortal treasure was?

During the End of the Dharma, it wasn’t just the revenants’ physical bodies that were destroyed. So were numerous mighty and terrifying treasures.

Even those immortal treasures that remained were almost all badly damaged and corroded by the catastrophe.

But Su Yi’s furnace was obviously different. Its surface was intact, and although it was worn and patinated, its strength was extraordinary!

“How could such a treasure have landed in your hands? You’re desecrating a divine object!”

That immortal’s avatar of will struck once more, his momentum shaking the heavens.

He swung his fist, and the black immortal light filling the sky came pouring down, transforming into a hand so enormous as to blot out the sky.

It reached for the Divine Replenishment Furnace.

“Kill him!”

Meanwhile, Hong Jiuchong led a group of Hong Family old-timers. All of them drew their treasures and surrounded Su Yi.

These old-timers were all top figures of the Cloud Soaring Realm. Here, they weren’t subject to the restriction of the Laws, so they could unleash the full extent of their power.

Furthermore, they were now keenly aware of how terrifying Su Yi was. Thus, when they attacked, they drew their strongest treasures and unleashed their killer moves right off the bat, not holding back in the slightest.

Boom!

Heaven and earth were shrouded in darkness, and the sun and moon lost their light.

Even in the face of this no-holds-barred onslaught, Su Yi made no attempt to dodge. It was to the point that his calm expression never so much as wavered.

“Go!”

As Su Yi charged ahead, the fist-sized furnace suddenly expanded to numerous times its original height. Talisman markings of the Immortal Dao erupted from its opening, and purple firelight interwove.

Strange and inscrutable totems even appeared on its surface.

The treasure hung in the air above Su Yi. As its purple immortal light swept through the air, the avatar’s giant hand split and crumbled!

Immediately afterward, the hum of a sword reverberated throughout the nine heavens. Su Yi swung the Sword of the Human Realm, the mysteries of reincarnation on full display as he charged at Hong Jiuchong and the others.

He was like an icepick ruthlessly boring a hole through their ranks.

A heaven-shaking explosion rang out. As Su Yi’s wave of sword qi swept forth, numerous treasures were sent flying. Several Hong family experts staggered back, looking wretched as could be.

Their expressions shifted dramatically. It was only after clashing with Su Yi personally that they understood just how terrifying this peak Cosmic Enlightenment Realm World King really was!

“Hmph!”

The immortal’s avatar of will shifted through the air and attacked explosively. He’d set his sights on the Divine Replenishment Furnace, and he wanted to claim it for his own.

This put enormous pressure on Su Yi!

Were it just a matter of taking down the Hong Family’s old timers, it wouldn’t have been all that difficult, not with his current strength.

But this was an immortal’s avatar of will. The difference was enormous!

Even with an immortal treasure like the Divine Replenishment Furnace, all Su Yi could do was passively defend himself. A counterattack was obviously impossible.

Furthermore, this wasn’t like the outside world. The immortal avatar of will had no need to fear a backlash from the Laws!

This meant that Su Yi could only endure until the avatar frittered away its power.

Boom!

The battle raged with increasing intensity.

The sight left countless onlookers’ hearts quivering with fright.

“Isn’t that Su Yi person a bit too terrifying? He’s even holding his own against an immortal’s avatar of will!?” someone said in a quavering voice.

Su Yi might have looked wretched, but the strength he had on display was enough to make their scalps go numb.

He wasn’t just contending with an immortal’s avatar of will. No, he was simultaneously fending off the attacks of Hong Jiuchong and more than ten other Hong Family old-timers!

This was far too terrifying.

“But so what? Can’t you see that many factions have yet to attack? For all his strength, there’s no way Su Yi will escape disaster today,” someone sighed.

Outside the battlefield, the experts of the Fu Family, the Profound Divinity Sword House, Illusory Sword Immortal Tower, the Southern Flame Pure Lands were eyeing Su Yi hungrily. They’d yet to make their moves!

“The Mo Family has obviously given up. They dare not get involved...” Someone noticed that despite announcing their intention to escort Su Yi safely, no one from the Mo Family had entered the fray.

“That’s perfectly normal. Even if the Mo Family got involved, they couldn’t possibly save Su Yi, and doing so would make them the common foe of the other top factions involved!”

“There’s no way the Mo Family would be able to bear the consequences of that!”

....

Clang!!!

The Divine Replenishment Furnace took a heavy blow and shook violently.

Su Yi was forced back too, looking completely wretched.

Hong Jiuchong and ten other old monsters seized the opportunity to surround and attack him.

Meanwhile, the immortal’s avatar of will shot through the air and attacked once more.

Countless hearts clenched.

Everyone could tell that Su Yi was in grave peril! But then, an entirely unexpected scene unfolded before their very eyes.

“Die!”

Suddenly, Su Yi’s calm, indifferent voice rang out.

Boom!

Reincarnation sword intent surged forth, dark and deep. It now had an additional, indescribable but terrifying pressure about it.

The aura of the Sword of the Nine Hells!

Su Yi never once used it during his battle with Hong Feiguan. But now, there was no need to feign weakness.

The crowd watched as—

Several of the Hong Family’s old monsters failed to escape in time, dying explosively on the spot! Their souls were annihilated, and their treasures split into chunks and disintegrated into powder!

Su Yi seized this opportunity to leap out of their encirclement, dodging the immortal avatar of will’s lethal strike by a hair.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Su Yi broke out of his enemies’ encirclement, avoided an immortal avatar of will’s attack, and slew three Hong Family old monsters all at the same time!

The crowd was astonished. All of them were wide-eyed and tongue-tied. This turnaround completely overturned their imaginations!

“Dammit!”

“Hurry up and block his path!”

“Get him!”

Hong Jiuchong and the others reacted immediately. All of them erupted with murderous intent, infuriated beyond measure.

Even the immortal avatar of will had an unsightly look on his face.

Bad enough that they couldn’t take down a single measly Cosmic Enlightenment World King even after all this time. Now, he’d gone and killed three of their experts right under his nose! This was an enormous humiliation!

Boom!

The immortal avatar of will attacked with everything he had. He too was furious.

One hundred thousand feet of immortal light shone around him. With every breath, he shook the entire landscape, and with a casual gesture, a saber condensed out of black immortal light.

It was like a divine astral saber. As soon as he gripped it, he slashed furiously at Su Yi.

But the Divine Replenishment Furnace blocked this strike too.

However, the terrifying impact made the furnace shake violently, and Su Yi couldn’t help but cough up a mouthful of blood. His complexion was increasingly pallid.

“Die!” Hong Jiuchong and the other old monsters attacked once more. They thought this was the ideal opportunity to suppress Su Yi and kill him on the spot.

A hint of a cold smirk tugged at Su Yi’s lips.

The Sword of the Human Realm flashed in midair.

Splurt! Splurt!

Two more Hong Family old monsters were killed. One was cleaved in two, the other decapitated.

Both looked utterly horrifying in death.

This scene left Hong Jiuchong and the others on the brink of madness.

The distant onlookers, meanwhile, were completely dazed. Even if you’d hit them over the heads, they would never have anticipated this. Su Yi was obviously in dire straits and covered with wounds, yet for some reason, at this critical juncture, he’d miraculously turned things around, slaying multiple foes in one fell swoop!

It was simply unbelievable.

“Be careful. The boy has mastered some sort of mysterious, taboo aura of the Dao of the Sword! At critical junctures, it can burst forth with lethal power!” said the immortal avatar of will, his expression ashen. “However, he’s severely depleted. He won’t be able to hold out much longer!”

Only then did the crowd understand. That so-called “mysterious, taboo aura of the Dao of the Sword'' was surely another of Su Yi’s hidden cards!

Even as he spoke, the immortal avatar of will charged at Su Yi once more.

Hong Jiuchong and the others were now on guard, and they dared not attack recklessly. Instead, they surrounded Su Yi and gradually approached. All of this plunged him into ever greater peril.

“Attack together! Seize this moment of weakness and kill him!”

Fu Dongli had been watching from the sidelines this entire time, but he could no longer hold himself back. He immediately led a group of Fu Family old-timers and charged straight into the fray.

When they saw this, the other hostile factions could no longer hold back either!
