Ning Siyu and Shen Jiusong both understood the meaning behind Le Zheng's words.
Le Zheng was wary of their interference but didn't want to give up on the idea of attacking Su Yi!
This made their expressions subtly change.
This guy... he's really looking for trouble...
Su Yi also chuckled and said, "I guarantee that they won't interfere."
Le Zheng seemed skeptical and looked at Ning Siyu and Shen Jiusong, asking, "What do you say?"
Ning Siyu's eyes showed pity as she said, "From today onwards, the 18 non-hereditary marquises of the Great Zhou Dynasty will probably become 17."
Shen Jiusong wore a nonchalant smile as he replied, "Since you want to die, why should we stop you? Please go ahead."
"Hold on!"
Wang Chundu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately tried to stop them. He felt increasingly uneasy and said, "Marquis Le Zheng, listen to my advice. Let this matter end here, or else..."
Le Zheng interrupted with an indifferent expression, "Since there's an opportunity to teach a lesson to my master's rebellious son, how could I give up? Wang Brother, there's no need for further persuasion!"
Wang Chundu was suddenly at a loss for words.
But what happened next shocked him even more.
Suddenly, Xuan Youlong, who had remained silent all this time, spoke up, "Before we start, I want to confirm one thing with Su Yi, the Young Master Su."
All eyes turned towards him.
"What is it?" Su Yi asked.
"Did you kill Qin Wenyuan, the Prefect of Yunhe County?" Xuan Youlong's eyes were sharp as he stared at Su Yi intently.
Qin Wenyuan!
Wang Chundu's face changed slightly.
As the Principal of the Luyang Academy, he naturally knew that Qin Wenyuan had spent many years cultivating at the academy and had the closest relationship with Xuan Youlong, akin to brothers.
Some time ago, when Xuan Youlong learned of Qin Wenyuan's death, he had lost control and vowed to avenge him in a fit of rage.
Wang Chundu was well aware of this.
However, he never expected that the suspected perpetrator of Qin Wenyuan's murder would turn out to be Su Yi!
"That's right," Su Yi nodded calmly, somewhat surprised, and asked, "What? Are you planning to avenge him?"
"Of course!" Xuan Youlong's eyes suddenly became extremely fierce, and his aura surged like a collapsing mountain and a raging tsunami.
This middle-aged man with a slender figure and narrow waist had been inconspicuous before.
But at this moment, he erupted like a dormant volcano, his eyes filled with thunderous light, emitting a terrifying aura.
This surprised both Ning Siyu and Shen Jiusong. They never expected that Xuan Youlong, the Vice Principal of the Luyang Academy, would also see Su Yi as an enemy.
"Nonsense!" Wang Chundu's face darkened. "Xuan Youlong, as the Vice Principal of the Luyang Academy, how can you act recklessly at a time like this?"
"With the enemy who killed Junior Brother Qin in front of me, how can I remain indifferent?" Xuan Youlong took a deep breath, his eyes determined. "Wang Brother, this is a personal grudge between him and me and will not implicate the Luyang Academy."
"You..." Wang Chundu, a prominent figure, was infuriated, his face turning black.
Dealing with Le Zheng alone had already given him a headache, and now Xuan Youlong had also stepped forward, determined to confront Su Yi.
This made him both anxious and angry, not knowing what to do.
"Wang Friend, since the situation has reached this point, there's no need for further dissuasion," Ning Siyu said softly.
Wang Chundu let out a long sigh and suddenly asked, "Madam Ning, aren't you worried about this young friend Su Yi?"
Ning Siyu's lips curled slightly as she replied, "I can only guarantee that I won't interfere."
Wang Chundu's expression fluctuated between gloom and brightness.
He had an increasingly uneasy feeling.
But before he could speak again.
Clang! Clang!
Drawing the twin swords on his back, Xuan Youlong held them in his hands and said, "Su Yi, dare you fight me?"
His voice was icy cold, filled with a shocking killing intent.
At this moment, Le Zheng became somewhat displeased and said, "Brother Xuan, Su Yi is my master's heir. Even if there's a fight, it should not be for you to decide! Furthermore, the life and death of Su Yi can only be determined by my master!"
Xuan Youlong's face darkened as he said, "What if I refuse?"
Le Zheng coldly replied, "Brother Xuan, I don't want us to become enemies because of Su Yi."
His words were firm and unyielding.
Ning Siyu and Shen Jiusong were both stunned and amused by this series of events.
These two guys were actually arguing about who would make a move. In their eyes, was Su Yi nothing more than a helpless lamb to be slaughtered?
Su Yi couldn't help but laugh and suggested, "Why don't you two attack together? It will be a good opportunity for both of you to meet your end together and become close brothers on the road to the Yellow Springs."
"You're seeking death!" Xuan Youlong shouted loudly, swinging the twin swords in his hands and charging forward.
Boom!
His aura was like a rainbow, displaying his mastery at the Fourth Stage of the Grandmaster realm. The nearby sand and stones flew, and the air became turbulent with explosive sounds.
The twin swords in his hands created dazzling flashes of light as they fiercely descended towards Su Yi, displaying immense power and dominance, as if they could cleave mountains and stop rivers.
"Xuan Youlong, get out of my way!" Le Zheng didn't hesitate, shaking his long spear and thrusting it towards the sky, trying to stop Xuan Youlong.
But at that moment, Su Yi flicked his finger.
Clang!
Le Zheng's spear suddenly trembled, deflected by the powerful force of Su Yi's finger.
Almost simultaneously, Su Yi's sleeves fluttered as he made a sweeping motion.
Boom! Boom!
With two dull thuds, a seemingly light sweep caused Xuan Youlong's attacking swords to almost slip from his hands, and his offensive collapsed.
The finger and the sweep happened in the blink of an eye.
Xuan Youlong and Le Zheng's attacks were both shattered like withered branches and decaying leaves!
The whole scene fell silent.
Wang Chundu's pupils contracted like needles, his heart shaken. He finally understood why Ning Siyu and Shen Jiusong remained so calm.
Just based on the casual strikes Su Yi had just made, Wang Chundu, a Precelestial Master, could sense that this Qi Gathering realm youth, Su Yi, was an extremely formidable character!
Think about it, he was only at the Qi Gathering realm, yet he effortlessly broke through the attacks of two Grandmasters at the Fourth Stage. Wasn't that terrifying?
At the same time, Xuan Youlong and Le Zheng's expressions changed, their gazes fixated on Su Yi. They now wore a serious and doubtful look on their faces.
There was a significant gap between the Qi Gathering realm and the Fourth Stage of the Martial Dao!
However, Su Yi's inadvertent display of power had shocked them. It was simply unimaginable.
"I told you to attack me together. Why would you want to fight each other? Do you really think I, Su Yi, am like a fish on a chopping board, at your mercy?" Su Yi calmly spoke, his words filled with arrogance, as if he didn't regard these two opponents in his eyes.
Ning Siyu and Shen Jiusong remained unfazed, already used to such situations.
But Wang Chundu's eyelid couldn't help but twitch. This kid... really isn't modest at all...
"As you wish!"
Taking a deep breath, Xuan Youlong's momentum grew even stronger. The slender figure emitted red, blue, gold, and black auras.
This was the manifestation of the Fourth Stage of the Grandmaster realm, where the body's internal organs were tempered in the furnace, and when fully activated, the true essence and aura of the four different attributes emerged.
When one reached the Fifth Stage of the Grandmaster realm, the internal organs would be like furnaces, blending the five elements into one. All the auras would merge completely. Only then could one truly reach the pinnacle of the Grandmaster realm.
Just like Qin Changshan, who died at Su Yi's hands, he was a Fifth Stage Grandmaster expert.
"Kill!"
With a roar, Xuan Youlong stomped on the ground, soaring into the air. Both hands swung the swords, slashing through the air.
Boom!
The void was like a canvas, split by two straight cracks. The power of the sword qi was as formidable as thunder and lightning, sweeping through the air.
Mountain Splitting Slash!
This was Xuan Youlong's ultimate technique, the pinnacle of his lifelong martial arts. With a single strike, he could split mountains and shatter cliffs!
Almost at the same time--
Le Zheng also made a move. His long spear shook, bursting forth with countless blood-colored edges. They loomed like a shadow, covering the sky and the earth, resembling a torrential rain of blood that produced earth-shattering explosions.
Blood Rain Devil-Slaying Spear!
It was a high-grade Heaven Tier martial art.
Taught by Su Hongli, the head of the Su family, it was a true technique for battlefield slaughter. When cultivated to the peak, a single thrust of the spear would be invincible!
And now, when Le Zheng, at the Fourth Stage of the Grandmaster realm, exerted his full power in this supreme technique, it presented a scene of bloody carnage and howling ghosts, overwhelming and unstoppable.
Undoubtedly, at this moment, both Xuan Youlong and Le Zheng unleashed their full power without reservation, harboring true killing intent!
Seeing this scene, Shen Jiusong couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, taking a cold breath.
If he were in Su Yi's shoes, he would probably not dare to directly confront them and would have to avoid their attacks first.
Wang Chundu stared intently at Su Yi, wanting to see how this Qi Gathering realm youth would resolve the full-force attacks of two Grandmasters at the Fourth Stage.
Su Yi shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat disappointed.
Compared to Qin Changshan, these two opponents were significantly inferior.
He didn't bother to hold back anymore and planned to end the fight quickly.
Boom!
As Xuan Youlong's twin swords descended from the sky, Su Yi suddenly revealed his figure. With his right hand clenched into a fist, he slammed it into the void.
With his full power unleashed, all the strength in his body merged perfectly into this punch.
Boom! Boom!
The translucent and crystal-clear punch carried an inexplicable and profound aura. Like an unstoppable edge, it struck the pair of swords, causing them to moan and tremble, unable to bear the burden, and flew out of their hands.
Then, the remaining force of this punch directly collided with Xuan Youlong's rushing figure.
This formidable existence at the Fourth Stage of the Grandmaster realm was actually sent flying by this punch, like a kite with a broken string, heavily crashing over ten zhang away.
His chest caved in, leaving a fist mark, blood spewing from his lips. His internal organs suffered heavy injuries.
The might of that single punch was terrifying!
But that wasn't the end.
Because at the same time as the punch was thrown,
Le Zheng's long spear, wrapped in a torrential rain of blood-colored edges, charged forward with a horrifying momentum, covering the sky and earth.
Su Yi's left hand, with fingers extended like a sword, made a slash in the void.
A ten-zhang-long sword qi traversed the sky, agile and graceful like a dragon, carrying a hazy and ethereal profound aura, lightly descending.
The countless blood-colored spear shadows burst and shattered like bubbles.
Clang!
When this sword struck Le Zheng's long spear, the spiritually agile spear was immediately impacted as if facing destruction, bending into a huge arc.
Then, with a crisp crack, it broke.
Even though Le Zheng chose to evade at the first moment in the face of such fierce and overwhelming impact, he was still struck on the shoulder by the sword qi, severing his right arm holding the long spear.
Blood gushed out like a waterfall.
