Under the dark clouds, in the center of the training ground.
The dense barrage of arrows, like a torrential rain, engulfed Su Yi. The sharp sound of breaking through the air echoed through the heavens and the earth.
Countless people's expressions changed upon witnessing this scene.
Not to mention ordinary martial practitioners, even powerful martial arts grandmasters would hesitate to confront a well-equipped army.
After all, the realm of martial arts was ultimately a mortal realm, and no matter how powerful a grandmaster was, they were still bound by mortal limitations.
However, Su Yi didn't change his direction and headed straight for Qin Wenyuan on the elevated platform.
He strode forward, his clothes fluttering in the wind.
Under the incredulous gazes of the onlookers, most of the arrows narrowly missed him, passing by his side without harming him in the slightest.
And as he casually wielded the Royal Mystical Sword in his hand.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Amidst a crisp and intense series of explosions, the arrows that couldn't avoid him were like paper, snapped and falling to the ground before they could even get close.
This scene left the influential figures astounded and amazed.
Arrows raining down, yet he could freely advance without the slightest damage? Who wouldn't be astonished by such a sight?
Seeing that the arrows alone couldn't harm Su Yi, a booming shout suddenly resounded across the training ground.
"Charge!"
Surrounding the training ground, a group of heavily armored guards wielding long spears and halberds formed an ironclad torrent, charging fiercely towards Su Yi.
Hundreds and thousands of them, with a strict formation and their weapons like a forest!
These were the elite soldiers under the jurisdiction of the County Seat. Each of them was well-trained and battle-hardened. Even a martial arts grandmaster would be severely injured if trapped by them.
This was one of Qin Wenyuan's trump cards.
With the combined strength of his troops and the tactics of overwhelming numbers, even if they couldn't kill Su Yi in the end, they could wear him down and exhaust his stamina!
Su Yi stood firm, his brows slightly furrowed.
He wasn't afraid of them, but he felt a bit annoyed.
It was like a fierce tiger seeing a group of mice pounce on it, that was probably the feeling.
Clang!
Su Yi took a deep breath, and his true essence surged into the Royal Mystical Sword.
The resounding sword chant echoed through the sky.
On the faintly bluish sword, spiritual light surged, revealing an ethereal and twisted inscription of a decree.
Cai Xuan.
Gathering the mysteries of heaven and earth and commanding them!
In simpler terms, it meant seizing the momentum of heaven and earth for oneself.
"Kill!"
A thunderous shout resounded as the heavily armored soldiers wielding long spears and halberds closed in from all directions, surrounding Su Yi.
Rows upon rows of spears and halberds stabbed towards Su Yi with full force.
This scene left countless people breathless and their hearts hanging in suspense.
And at this moment, Su Yi suddenly raised the Royal Mystical Sword and made a gesture in the air.
Boom!
An incredible scene unfolded. The thick clouds above Su Yi's head suddenly exploded, and countless streams of rain poured down like a silver galaxy.
Looking up, it seemed as if a hole had been torn open in the sky, like a miraculous sight.
"This..."
Everyone in the training ground was shocked, even the grandmasters couldn't help but change their expressions.
Breaking through the clouds with a sword?
Was this a power that mortals could control?
The soldiers charging towards Su Yi were also stunned by this scene, and a hint of hesitation appeared in their imposing aura.
At this moment, as the rain poured down, it seemed to be guided by an invisible force, enveloping the Royal Mystical Sword in Su Yi's hand as it was swung.
I wield a sword to reverse the galaxy, shaking the heavens and earth, and sweeping away the mortal dust!
In that instant, Su Yi seemed to be manipulating a streak of the Milky Way, carrying a chilling divine might, resembling the techniques of an immortal, causing a sensation that shook the world.
Even his slender figure became ethereal and elusive.
Boom!
As the sword descended, the hundreds of heavily armored soldiers within a ten-zhang radius were each struck as if by divine punishment. Their armor exploded like paper, their bodies crushed, and blood and severed limbs mixed together, scattering on the ground.
Ten zhang away, the heavily armored soldiers all froze in terror, their livers and gallbladders on the verge of shattering.
Within that ten-zhang range, the previously living soldiers had turned into a scattered mess of broken corpses, blood flowing like a river.
This bloody and shocking scene made the onlookers in the distance scalp tingling, and they couldn't help but exclaim in fear.
"So terrifying!"
"Is this immortal magic?"
"Breaking through the clouds with a sword, commanding the descent of heavenly water to kill enemies, this is not a power that mortals can control!"
"Only the legendary land immortals have such ability!"
... The commotion grew louder.
Zhang Zhiyan and Yuan Wutong were also shocked. They had both had the privilege of witnessing the grace of land immortals before.
This scene immediately gave rise to a thought in their minds -
Could Su Yi be a land immortal hiding his cultivation?
Qin Wenyuan's face completely changed.
He also thought of this possibility, and his heart grew heavy.
"Retreat!"
In the field, Su Yi held his sword and glanced coldly around, issuing a stern command.
Clatter~
The well-trained heavily armored soldiers trembled all over, frightened and hastily retreated like scattered birds and beasts.
A single sword had killed over a hundred people, who wouldn't be afraid?
In the eyes of those soldiers, Su Yi at this moment was like a legendary immortal, far beyond the reach of ordinary mortals like themselves.
No one dared to mock or ridicule.
If it were them, they would have long lost their composure and wouldn't dare to resist.
"Do whatever means you have, use them all."
Su Yi took a step forward, his gaze calm as ever.
The clouds in the sky gathered, and the hole that had been torn open was no longer there.
However, the power of that one sword still lingered in everyone's hearts.
"Qin, if you bow your head now, can you exchange it for the lives of my father and me?"
On the high platform, Qin Wenyuan's voice was hoarse as he spoke.
At this moment, Qin Wenyuan finally understood the ridiculousness of the trump cards he had prepared in the face of such a being who could command "heavenly authority."
Qin Feng had long been frightened out of his wits, trembling so much that he was on the verge of collapsing to the ground.
"What do you think?"
Su Yi took a step forward, ascending the high platform, his slender figure appearing calm and otherworldly.
Clang!
Qin Wenyuan didn't waste any more words. He drew his sword from his waist, his expression instantly becoming solemn and calm, displaying the demeanor of a grandmaster.
His aura changed in an instant, fierce and domineering, as mighty as a towering mountain, not inferior to Mu Cangtu in the slightest!
"In that case, I can only fight to the death!"
Qin Wenyuan swung his sword and launched an attack.
Clang!
An unmatched blade aura, shining like a divine rainbow, flashed through the air and rushed towards Su Yi.
Its momentum was like fire, unrivaled and overbearing.
Many people felt their eyes sting from its intensity.
Even Yuan Wutong and Zhang Zhiyan squinted their eyes, realizing that as soon as Qin Wenyuan made his move, he exerted all his strength, displaying his mastery of the supreme martial art, the "Wind and Fire Swift Void Blade"!
This was a top-grade martial art at the Celestial Rank. Once unleashed, the blade technique was as swift as the wind and as powerful as a raging fire, truly unparalleled in dominance.
However, Su Yi shook his head, flicked his wrist, and simply thrust his hand holding the Yuxuan Sword.
No frills, just natural.
Clang!!!
Qin Wenyuan's war sword was blocked and unable to make any progress.
Amidst the splattering sparks, as Su Yi exerted force with his fingertip, the Yuxuan Sword burst forth with a cold radiance, sweeping away the opponent's war sword and piercing through.
Boom!
The pale blue sword tip pierced Qin Wenyuan's chest. He staggered backward, almost falling off the high platform.
His torn shirt revealed a chest protector, with a deep sword mark indented on its surface.
Clearly, it was the chest protector that saved Qin Wenyuan's life!
But even so, many people present couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
Previously, Mu Cangtu had been able to engage in a fierce battle with Su Yi, leading people to subconsciously believe that Su Yi would not be able to kill Qin Wenyuan in a short amount of time.
Who would have thought that just a single sword almost claimed Qin Wenyuan's life!
"This is impossible!"
Qin Wenyuan couldn't bear this blow and shouted in shock and anger.
He didn't believe that he was inferior to Mu Cangtu.
As if seeing through his thoughts, Su Yi taunted, "Just a mere Martial Grandmaster, and you dare to be my enemy?"
Before his words even fell, he attacked with his sword once again.
Again, it was a simple and unadorned sword strike, but it left Qin Wenyuan with a sense of despair, as if he was trapped in an inescapable net.
"Fight!"
Qin Wenyuan roared, swinging his sword forward, fully intending to drag Su Yi down with him.
But in the next moment, his wrist throbbed with pain, and his war sword flew out of his hand.
Immediately after, the blade of a sword pierced his throat, passing through completely.
Splurt!
Blood splashed into the air.
"My senior brother... will... avenge me!!"
Qin Wenyuan's voice became intermittent and increasingly weak, his face filled with pain, unwillingness, anger, and resentment.
Su Yi retrieved his sword indifferently and casually said, "Rest in peace."
Thud!
Qin Wenyuan fell from the high platform, his eyes wide open, unwilling to close even in death.
Silence enveloped the entire scene.
Even martial grandmasters like Zhang Zhiyan were trembling, shivering with cold sweat running down their spines.
Qin Wenyuan, a prominent figure who held unrivaled power in Yunhe County City, a martial grandmaster who had influenced the Yunhe County for thirty years, had been annihilated in such a manner!
Who wouldn't be shocked by this?
Every prominent figure in the field was filled with anxiety and horror, even more so than when Mu Cangtu was defeated.
The younger generation of disciples stood there, stunned and with blank minds. Everything they witnessed today seemed like a mythical legend—bloody, shocking, and unimaginable!
Even figures like Huang Qianjun, Yuan Luoxi, and Yuan Luoyu remained silent, their hearts overwhelmed with indescribable shock.
"Quick, someone kill this villain! Hurry!"
Suddenly, a shrill scream of terror and panic resounded. Qin Feng, disheveled and in a state of panic, fled as if gone mad.
Su Yi lifted his foot, flicked his toe, and the war sword that Qin Wenyuan had dropped flew into his hand. Without a second thought, he threw it.
Thud!
Dozens of yards away, the figure of Qin Feng was impaled through the back by the war sword, crashing violently to the ground and losing his life.
Throughout the entire scene, none of the prominent figures from the county mansion dared to step forward and rescue the son of the county governor.
This scene sent another shudder through the hearts of those present.
Previously, when Su Yi said he would kill Qin Wenyuan and his son, many people didn't take it seriously and didn't believe he could do it.
But now, everyone fell into silence.
"Is there anyone else who wants to settle the score with me, Su Yi?"
On the high platform, Su Yi looked around calmly, his voice echoing in the drill ground for a long time, but no one responded.
Su Yi alone had defeated the master of the Qinghe Sword Mansion and slaughtered the county governor and his son!
Who would dare to answer if they still wanted to live?
Seeing this, Su Yi wasn't surprised.
He looked at the sky, put away the Yuxuan Sword, and a oiled paper umbrella appeared in his hand.
When he opened the umbrella above his head...
Swoosh~
In the heavy clouds of the sky, a torrential downpour that had been brewing for a long time finally poured down.
The rain was so heavy, it was exhilarating!
