Chereads / Swordsmanship's Number One Immortal / Chapter 213 - Chapter 214: Sword Strikes, Dividing People in Half

Chapter 213 - Chapter 214: Sword Strikes, Dividing People in Half

The morning sun was brilliant, and the clouds roiled in the sky.

Yet, at the peak of the Western Mountain, the atmosphere became heavy and subtle.

To Xiang Tianqiu and his group, Yue Changyuan's words had completely exposed Su Yi's background.

Everyone's attitude towards Su Yi had changed when they faced him again.

Zhou Zhili, Zheng Tianhe, and the others were also dumbfounded upon learning about these revelations.

They realized that the position of this Third Young Master Su Yi in the Su family was so miserable!

Only Tea Jin became even more puzzled.

She had originally thought that Su Yi's incredible cultivation and secret techniques were likely related to the Su family in Yujing City.

But now, it was clear that it wasn't the case!

And this meant that Su Yi definitely had other secrets, secrets that no one knew until now!

Thinking of this, Tea Jin couldn't help but feel a tinge of resentment. Young master, just how many secrets are you still hiding?

As they witnessed these scenes, Su Yi's expression remained as calm as ever, not even a slight change in the figure lying on the vine chair.

But deep inside, he let out a soft sigh.

No wonder, after awakening memories of my past life, I still held a lingering obsession and hatred towards the Su family in Yujing City.

So... in their eyes, I am so disgraceful...

Well, that's fine.

When I go to Yujing City in the future, I will use my sword to put an end to this obsession!

A barely perceptible killing intent flashed through Su Yi's deep pupils and quickly vanished.

Xiang Tianqiu smiled and looked at Zhou Zhili, saying, "Your Highness, now by your side, besides Mu Zhongting, there is no one left to rely on. If you don't bow down now, we will have to resort to the traditional way of the Great Zhou and determine the outcome through force!"

Ever since the founding of the Great Zhou, a rule had been established: in matters of the court, disputes were settled through combat.

It might seem somewhat barbaric, but in this secular nation where martial practitioners were revered, comparing fists was undoubtedly the most effective and straightforward method.

Of course, for the influential and intricate figures of power in the Great Zhou, they would not resort to violence unless absolutely necessary, and they wouldn't tear each other apart.

Just like now, no matter what, Zhou Zhili was still a prince of the Great Zhou.

Xiang Tianqiu could only use his influence to oppress step by step, unwilling to resort to force until the end.

And now, Chang Guoke and Qingqin were both blocked by an imperial decree, unable to intervene.

Xue Ningyuan chose betrayal.

Zheng Tianhe, as a member of the imperial family, was caught by the handle.

Even Su Yi's origin had been exposed.

Looking at Zhou Zhili's side, besides Mu Zhongting, there was no one left to rely on!

Undoubtedly, it had reached the moment to decide whether to resort to violence or not!

Zhou Zhili fell into silence, his expression fluctuating between gloom and hope.

Subconsciously, he looked towards Su Yi, his gaze filled with despair, frustration, and a glimmer of hope.

Like a drowning person clutching at a straw.

Logic told him that it would be wisest to give up decisively.

But he was unwilling because if he bowed down like this, he would become the stepping stone for his Second Brother and would never have a chance to turn the tables again!

Therefore, he placed all his hopes on Su Yi, even though he knew it was futile, he still wanted to take a gamble.

Su Yi calmly asked, "After going through this ordeal, where do you think you lost?"

Zhou Zhili remained silent for a long time before bitterly saying, "There are too many places where I lost, and it's my fault for thinking too naively in the past..."

Su Yi shook his head and said, "No, you lost because you were too weak!"

With that, he stood up from the vine chair and swept his gaze over the people present. A hint of mockery curved his lips as he spoke, "When your strength is powerful enough, there is no need for lengthy discussions and useless tea meetings to deal with these insignificant people. Just crush them with overwhelming force."

His words were casual and indifferent, but they revealed disdain, showing that he didn't care about people like Xiang Tianqiu and the others.

That arrogant attitude made Xiang Tianqiu and the others darken their faces. Who were they?

A stomp of their feet would shake the entire Gunzhou region!

When had they ever been regarded as insignificant people?

Only Tea Jin's eyes brightened, her heart filled with excitement. Finally, young master is going to make a move!

"Third Young Master, I have heard about some things related to you. I know that not only has your cultivation recovered, but you also possess the strength of the Qi Gathering Realm, capable of contending with a grandmaster. But do you really think that with this little ability, you can be so arrogant?"

Yue Changyuan let out a cold snort and suddenly stood up, pointing his feather fan at Su Yi with a cold voice, "Don't forget the words spoken by the Clan Chief. Anyone who dares to act in the name of the Su family will be executed!"

Xiang Tianqiu and the others were shocked. How much did the Clan Chief of the Su family hate this son to issue such a ruthless and merciless command?

However, this very statement filled them with excitement.

They had all heard about some things regarding Su Yi and knew that despite his youthful appearance, his strength was extremely formidable.

But now, with the words of the Su family's Clan Chief, if Su Yi were to intervene, it would be tantamount to defying the Clan Chief's order and would undoubtedly result in being hunted down by the Su family!

Zhou Zhili's heart turned cold. Su Hongli, the Clan Chief of the Su family, had always been resolute in his words. Since he said this, it meant he would dare to act accordingly!

In this situation, if Su Yi were to intervene, wouldn't it mean that Su Yi and the Su family would become enemies?

"Brother Su..."

Zhou Zhili couldn't help but speak up.

Su Yi interrupted, "Do you think I would be afraid of the Su family in Yujing City?"

Zhou Zhili's expression froze.

Yue Changyuan burst into laughter with anger, "Young Master Su, if the clan learns of what you just said, they will flay you alive! Yue advises you to stay obediently where you are and not engage in such foolish and ignorant actions, otherwise..."

Su Yi looked up at Yue Changyuan and asked, "Otherwise, what?"

A cold and menacing look appeared on Yue Changyuan's face as he said, "Young Master Su, you better think about the consequences. Once you make a move..."

"Stop with the nonsense!" Su Yi interrupted, frowning. "Kneel down before me or I will grant you death. Choose one!"

The entire scene fell into silence, and you could hear a pin drop.

Even Xiang Tianqiu and the others were stunned. They never expected Su Yi to be so domineering, not even caring about prominent figures like Yue Changyuan from the Su family!

Zhou Zhili, on the other hand, felt his blood boil, and all his feelings of frustration, shame, concern, and loss seemed to be dispelled, replaced by an indescribable excitement.

Su Yi's unrestrained and domineering demeanor made the Sixth Prince decide to go crazy as well. Regardless of winning or losing, he would fight first!

He had a fierce expression, gritted his teeth, and said, "Yue Changyuan, if I, Zhou Zhili, gain power, I will never let go of anyone associated with you!"

His words were resolute, filled with a mad determination.

This kind of attitude made Xiang Tianqiu and the others' expressions change slightly. Even they didn't want to be completely hated by a prince!

Otherwise, they would have resolved today's matter through a direct confrontation long ago.

Yue Changyuan's pupils suddenly constricted, then he sneered, "Sixth Prince, there are many royal descendants who are more talented and capable than you. Do you really think you have a chance to gain power?"

He paused for a moment and continued indifferently, "Just like in the battle against the Second Prince today, you are already powerless."

Then, Yue Changyuan stepped forward and arrived within three zhang (about ten meters) of Su Yi, his eyes turning cold and filled with killing intent.

"Young Master Su, I'll give you a choice as well. Either you immediately leave this mountain top, or... I'll cripple you and bring you back to the Su family in Yujing City for punishment!"

His robe fluttered as he spoke, and with a clang, he drew a long knife from his waist. The entire aura of his person changed, and the killing intent soared to the sky, dispersing the nearby clouds and mist!

Everyone's gaze focused on him.

Su Yi chuckled, turned his head to Tea Jin, and said, "Watch over my vine chair and make sure it doesn't get blown off the cliff by the wind."

Tea Jin was taken aback but quickly nodded.

However, Su Yi's words and actions made Yue Changyuan feel deeply humiliated, and his face suddenly turned dark. "Young Master Su, you really disappoint me..."

Before he even finished speaking, he swung the long knife in his hand.

Swish!

Like a cascading waterfall of bright white snow, a dazzling and brilliant blade swept out, carrying a terrifying aura that effortlessly tore through the air.

Within the three zhang range, there was only an expanse of blade aura, limitless and sharp!

Xiang Tianqiu and the others couldn't help but reveal looks of astonishment.

The saying goes, "You can tell a master by just one move."

This simple slash displayed the charisma of the "Jade-faced Knife Master" and fully demonstrated the profound skills of this former top scholar of martial arts.

"You know nothing about life and death."

Su Yi's eyes remained indifferent as he flicked his finger.

With just a casual flick, it seemed like an unstoppable hammer crashing into the formidable blade aura.

Following that, a series of intense explosions rang out as the powerful force gathered by Yue Changyuan's blade aura, spanning three zhang, shattered inch by inch and burst apart.

The energy splattered and dissipated like rain!

Almost simultaneously, Su Yi took a step forward, and his extended finger seemed like a sharp sword, slashing through the empty space.

Swoosh!

Like a fleeting flash of light, an electric glow appeared.

A faint and ethereal sword qi soared through the air. Within the dazzling and awe-inspiring aura, there was a trace of mysterious and unfathomable charm circulating.

Yue Changyuan's whole body trembled, his face changing drastically.

He was well aware that Su Yi was far from an ordinary Qi Gathering Realm cultivator. He had also learned from Xiang Tianqiu that Su Yi had killed formidable master-level figures before.

Therefore, when he unleashed that slash just now, he did not hold back and used his true pinnacle power.

But he never expected that Su Yi's casual finger would easily shatter his blade aura to pieces!

It almost made him doubt his own eyes.

And at this moment, when the sword qi from Su Yi approached, he even felt a instinctive fear and tremor.

Under the looming fatal threat, he chose to go all out without hesitation.

He exerted all his strength without reservation!

"Spirit Thunder Decree!"

His long knife emitted a thunderous roar, radiating brilliant light, as if it were burning, and he fiercely slashed out.

Then, under the astonished gazes of everyone present, Yue Changyuan's desperate strike, like he was fighting for his life, was silently cut in half by that wisp of sword qi.

It was as effortless as a knife cutting through tofu.

Crack!

Following that, the spiritual and extraordinary long knife split into two, breaking apart.

And that ethereal and dreamlike sword qi, carrying a mysterious charm, effortlessly struck the defenseless Yue Changyuan.

A slender line of crimson blood extended straight down from the top of Yue Changyuan's head, passing through his nose, lips, chin, and chest.

"You..."

Yue Changyuan widened his eyes and tried to say something.

But his body had already been split into two halves in an instant, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Blood poured down like a deluge.
