First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1420 - Mortal Flesh Suppresses an Immortal From on High

The mountain toppled, and dust and smoke permeated the air.

Sword Immortal Qingshi and the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha were injured, their clothes stained with blood.

After surviving a catastrophe, both felt dazed, almost as if that had happened in another lifetime.

When they saw Cui Zheng of the Entombed Spirit Immortal Sect lying on the ground, astonishment arose on their faces.

They would never have guessed that Daoist Master Red Cloud’s yellow mutt could suppress an immortal revenant with a single swipe of its paw!

Illuminating Emptiness, Wei Shan, and the others felt a massive weight lift from their shoulders too.

The yellow dog stood in the sky, its gaze icy. “And here I thought you were someone impressive. Turns out you’re nothing but a measly little ghost immortal.”

Its voice was rife with dense disdain.

Cui Zheng crawled off the ground, his brow tightly knit. “Who are you?”

“You aren’t worthy of knowing,” the dog said casually.

It then glanced at the distant Illuminating Emptiness. “I didn’t scare you, did I, Little Baldy?”

Illuminating Emptiness shook from head to toe, then plastered a toadyish smile on his face. “Senior, your arrival was like the descent of the soldiers of heaven. I couldn’t be any more delighted. How could I possibly have been scared?”

He then stuck up his thumb and sighed with heartfelt admiration, “How could the word ‘fierce’ be sufficient to describe your majestic bearing, Senior?”

The Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha and the others still recalled Illuminating Emptiness’s first time seeing the dog. He’d accused it of being “some kind of evil spirit.”

But look at him now! He was practically kissing its ass!

The dog couldn’t help but grin. The little baldy’s much more pleasing to the eye this time!

But it was then that Su Yi walked toward them.

Hm? The yellow dog’s eyes widened. It stared intently at Su Yi, confusion written all over its face. “Where’d your cultivation base go?”

Sword Immortal Qingshi and the others sensed it too. After a month in seclusion, Su Yi seemed like a completely different person.

Before, his presence had been subdued and detached, but he was still obviously a cultivator.

But now, his cultivation base didn’t emanate even the slightest energy fluctuations. He really seemed no different from an ordinary person!

It didn’t seem quite real.

It was as if they’d just witnessed a banished immortal transform into an ordinary person overnight!

It was also then that Cui Zheng noticed Su Yi. He too was stunned. He couldn’t even imagine that this was the unrivaled figure who’d slain experts of various top factions at Mount Luowu, making the ground run red with rivers of blood.

“I refined my cultivation base,” Su Yi said casually. “I.... really don’t have a cultivation boundary right now.”

“????” The crowd practically dared not believe their ears. He refined his cultivation base!??? Has he gone insane?

Cui Zheng’s eyes flashed. He said coldly, “Like hell you refined your cultivation base! You just failed to break into the Path of Transcendence, didn’t you?”

He was an expert of the Immortal Dao. He could tell at a glance that something had gone awry with Su Yi’s aura. It seemed he’d taken a wrong step and lost his cultivation base completely!

The crowd’s hearts tensed, and they were full of uncertainty.

“My body might be mortal, but I can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with gods,” Su Yi said flatly.

As he spoke, he drew closer to Cui Zheng. “None of you are to interfere. Let me see what this so-called immortal revenant is made of.”

The yellow dog couldn’t help but ask, “Are you certain?”

It was truly suspicious. It couldn’t figure out Su Yi’s condition.

Su Yi glanced at the dog. “Just watch. Won’t you understand then?”

A nigh-imperceptible hint of delight appeared on Cui Zheng’s face. He was deeply afraid of that unfathomable yellow dog. But he wasn’t the least bit afraid of Su Yi!

Moreover, he figured he could seize this opportunity to capture Su Yi, take him hostage, and escape!

Out loud, Cui Zheng said coldly, “Are you sure you want to fight me one-on-one?”

Su Yi laughed. “Rest assured. Absolutely no one else will intervene, not even the dog.”

“.....” For some reason, Xing Que felt insulted...

Cui Zheng couldn’t help but laugh, his eyes flashing with imposing immortal light. He raised his finger and hooked it at Su Yi. “Come on, then! I’ll grant you defeat!”

The dog bared its teeth. Someone sure knows how to boast!

But before it even realized what was happening, Su Yi attacked.

He slowly stepped into the air, throwing a light, airy, barehanded punch.

To the onlookers, it really seemed as if an ordinary mortal martial artist had swung his fist. It had no force at all.

Cui Zheng couldn’t help but jeer.

However, his combat instincts took over, and he didn’t underestimate this attack. He too threw a punch.

Boom!

Resplendent immortal light and mighty fist force filled every inch of sky. It was enough to crush entire landscapes.

The very picture of an immortal practicing his martial arts!

Sword Immortal Qingshi, the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha, and the others watched from afar. They couldn’t help but gasp, their hearts and bodies under terrifying suppression!

This was the power of the Immortal Dao. It surpassed the Path of Transcendence, and it was terrifying beyond measure.

But against all expectations, Su Yi’s light, airy punch crushed Cui Zheng’s fist as if it were made of rotten wood.

Bang!!

The immortal light filling the air scattered, and Cui Zheng staggered on his feet. The immortal light around him churned.

His pupils constricted.

When Su Yi’s fist reached him, it felt as if a primordial divine mountain had slammed into him with unstoppable, terrifying force.

As he felt its impact, Cui Zheng couldn’t help but feel as if none of this were quite real, as if he weren’t up against a mundane martial artist, but rather, a warrior god of the Human Realm! A deity with the power to suppress the heavens!

“What the...” The dog couldn’t help but rub its eyes with its paws. It had been watching the battle, but to its astonishment, it couldn’t tell what kind of power was contained in Su Yi’s fist!

Sword Immortal Qingshi, the Illuminating Emptiness Sword Buddha, and the others were stunned too. All of them were wide-eyed and tongue-tied. He refined his cultivation. How can he possibly fight an immortal revenant without a cultivation base?

Meanwhile, Su Yi was already leaping into the air, pressing his fingers into a sword as he slashed at Cui Zheng’s throat.

Cui Zheng snorted coldly, then unleashed his full power. His hands formed a seal, and he slammed the air as if swinging a massive hammer.

Boom!

Heaven and earth were thrown into upheaval. The very air itself burst and collapsed.

Terrifying destructive power spread from the point of impact, sweeping in all directions.

Cui Zheng staggered on his feet once more. He looked stricken. How is this possible?

Su Yi’s fist force looked loose and empty, without the slightest trace of power. Yet when they clashed, it was as if he were trading blows with an unrivaled god of war.

It was a strange, unsettling feeling. Cui Zheng’s heart quivered, and he struggled to wrap his head around it.

Boom!

Su Yi didn’t stop. He leaped forward, swung his fist, and attacked once more.

His attacks were simple and unassuming, without the slightest flourish. They looked light and airy, as if they contained no power at all. However, they repeatedly forced back and suppressed even an immortal revenant like Cui Zheng!

A few blinks of the eye later, Cui Zheng had been forced several hundred feet back!

His robes were now ripped and torn. His hair was disheveled, and he looked completely wretched.

Yet Su Yi struck with unstoppable momentum.

It really seemed as if a mundane man was suppressing an immortal from on high!

It was too ludicrous for words, and extraordinarily shocking.

Sword Immortal Qingshi and the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha were baffled. They couldn’t even imagine just what kind of power Su Yi was using, or why it was so unbelievable.

Only the dog was starting to understand, and its heart quivered. He shattered his former cultivation base and fused all of his power into his body? Otherwise, why don’t I sense any sign of energy circulation?

What kind of path is this? Isn’t he afraid of destroying his Dao and dying?

To any other cultivator, shattering one’s cultivation base would be no different from crippling themselves.

But that didn’t apply to Su Yi. He’d shattered his former cultivation to step onto a practically unknown, unheard-of, mysterious path!

This was unquestionably far too unbelievable.

The yellow dog had followed Daoist Master Red Cloud throughout the Immortal Realm for a long, long time. It had seen countless astonishing experts, but it had never seen anyone display such power after boldly shattering their own cultivation base!

It seems he’s seeking some unprecedented and unheard-of Path of Transcendence! The dog gasped, its heart shaking.

Although it had picked up some clues and made some guesses, the dog still found this unbelievable, and it was full of unresolved questions. There was nothing for it; it had no idea what was really behind all this!

Boom!

The battle raged with ever-greater intensity.

Cui Zheng was even more confused than the dog. He just couldn’t wrap his head around it.

It was so obvious that Su Yi had no cultivation whatsoever, yet he was unimaginably terrifying in battle. Cui Zheng could barely fight back!

In life, he had been an expert of the Immortal Dao. He had gazed down at the Human Realm from on high, and he’d overcome too many grand battles to count.

But he’d never encountered an opponent like this one.

However, he had no time to give the matter any further thought. Su Yi was relentlessly pushing him back, and his heart burned with fury. He was suppressing a bellyful of fire; how could he possibly stop to consider anything else?

But no matter how he tried to fight back, it was to no avail!

Su Yi was far too overbearing. He struck like the wind, his attacks pelting Cui Zheng like rain. It took mere moments for him to bore a hole through Cui Zheng’s defenses. The impact made Cui Zheng stagger on his feet and cough up blood!

He was visibly stricken, and he no longer dared to hesitate. He immediately drew his treasure.

“Activate!”

A glittering silver short spear flew through the air, bringing with it appalling immortal light full of destructive power.

This was unquestionably an extraordinarily terrifying immortal treasure.

“Worthless.” The yellow dog laughed coldly.

Su Yi still fought barehanded. He rose to his full height, his attacks the same as ever as he relentlessly suppressed his foe.

With every strike, the silver short spear buzzed, and immortal light scattered, making the entire stretch of heaven and earth tremble.

The crowd was wide-eyed and tongue-tied.

It had only been one month since they’d last seen him. Su Yi seemed to have become an ordinary mortal, yet he was obviously far more terrifying than before.

Admittedly, Cui Zheng was still subject to the restriction of the Laws, and he could only unleash about twenty percent of his strength. However, his strength was still far more terrifying than that of an immortal avatar of will!

Yet now, even when this immortal revenant used immortal treasures, Su Yi forced him back repeatedly. His opponent paled by comparison!

In the end, a heaven-shaking impact rang out. Su Yi punched, sending Cui Zheng’s silver short spear flying from his grip.

Cui Zheng’s wrist broke with a spray of blood, and he was sent flying backward. His vital energy practically exploded!

Bang!!

The moment Cui Zheng hit the ground, Su Yi placed his foot on his chest. His blue robes fluttered in the wind.

It was as if a mere mundane warrior had forced an immortal into the dust!

An astonishing sight!

“Holy $#%&! He’s seriously that strong!?” The dog was so startled it couldn’t help but curse.
