Swordsmanship from the skies?
Zhang Manting rolled her eyes, not picking up on the joke, but kept her gaze fixed on the phone screen.
At this moment, the entire city was holding its breath, eager to see what earth-shattering action Su Yie would take next.
This height!
This stance!
Clearly, he was gearing up for a major move!
Many young people's "chunibyo" souls began to burn, their blood boiling with excitement!
But to everyone's surprise, when Su Yie dove with his sword into the midst of the demon beast horde, no spectacular battle ensued.
This scene left the young people's expressions frozen, their mouths twitching.
If there was no big move, why jump so high?
Even though they had their doubts, they still admired Su Yie, believing that only in dire circumstances do heroes emerge.
Su Yie was that hero!
This battle would determine the fate of Xiwan City; everyone was hoping for Su Yie's victory.
With a bang!
Su Yie cut a domineering swath through the demon beast army, his white shirt getting torn in several places, and the fresh blood of the beasts splattering on him made his complexion even colder.
A single man prevailing over an army of hundreds of thousands of demon beasts, an invincible force, what a spectacular sight it was.
"Go for it!"
"Su Yie must win!"
"Kill them all!"
"Hold on!"
The soldiers at the edge of the city started shouting out loud, their voices hoarse with exertion, cheering for Su Yie, letting him know that he was not alone in this fight and that if he were to fall, they too would meet their end, accompanying him to the Yellow Springs.
Their voices were robust, merging into a loud resonance, and considering they were not far from the tablet broadcasting the event, their voices rose like a backdrop of music.
Many women within Xiwan City couldn't help but be moved to tears.
Perhaps on Earth, they didn't know each other, everyone occupied with their own lives, but now, the city was united as one for Su Yie, an unprecedented solidarity was forming.
Suddenly, more and more passionate men left their homes with their phones, gathering towards the north of the city.
It wasn't just men; many women joined as well.
Facing an army of tens of thousands of demon beasts, the power of mortals might be insignificant, but sometimes the will of humans can be stronger than an army of tens of thousands of demon beasts.
"He, Su Yie, a big boy, is fighting for our entire city, and what are we doing? We're cowering in here!"
"Are we even human?"
A man stood in the middle of the road, yelling through a megaphone, attracting many people to come out of their buildings.
"Anyone with courage, come with me to the north of the city to provide support! Even if it means death, we cannot die so ignobly!"
His voice was laced with such inducement that it incited many others to start shouting as well.
This was just one of many similar scenes throughout the city.
This wasn't their first encounter with demon beasts; every single person harbored hatred for the monsters. How many people perished when Xiwan City first experienced the crossover?
Almost everyone still alive had friends or family who fell victim to the beasts' maws.
Su Yie's valor greatly stirred them all.
On another front, Su Yie continued to fight.
His understanding of the Immortal-Slaying Heart Sword was growing deeper, each stroke of his blade sending out ripples of energy.
The beginnings of sword qi!
In just a short span of ten or so days, Su Yie developed sword qi from being a complete novice, truly a swordsmanship prodigy!
Elder Lord Qi Yang watched from a distance, awestruck by such talent; no wonder Emperor Su had taken an interest in him.
The Black Scaled King, unaware that Su Yie had been practicing for only a dozen days, was not surprised but merely looked on mockingly at the half-demon.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Su Yie leaped across the battlefield, each landing like a clap of thunder, sending demon beasts within a ten-meter radius flying. He stood up with his sword, sweeping it in an arc, chopping those beasts into minced meat!
His sword qi was becoming more solid!
Polishing his combat skills and comprehending sword qi amidst battle, this fight was, as Su Yie had hoped, immensely rewarding.
```
The reason he went to war was twofold: one was for Xiwan City, and the other was to hone himself.
Although he possessed the Strength of a Hundred Dragons, his combat experience was too limited, and he had never faced life-threatening danger, which is why he wanted to face the army of tens of thousands of Demon Beasts alone.
It must be said, his combat talent was indeed exceptional!
Even he was surprised by it!
Could it be the influence of the Great Dao Communication Device?
"This guy..."
The Black Scaled King narrowed his eyes, he could also see Su Yie's talent.
He couldn't wait any longer!
If this continued, Su Yie would surely slaughter his army of tens of thousands.
The Black Scaled King immediately leaped into the air, his sleeves bursting open with black scales crawling all over his arms, fearsome and terrifying!
He swiped a claw at Su Yie, who was at that moment entangled with dozens of jackals, tigers and leopards. Although still in a semi-enlightened state, his senses were extremely sharp, and he quickly reacted, jumping to dodge.
With a bang!
The Black Scaled King's claw killed a yellow ox spirit that blocked the way, its flesh and blood scattering across the ruins. With a fierce look in his eyes, he pursued Su Yie relentlessly.
His leap had been captured by the live broadcast, causing an uproar in the entire city.
The Black Scaled King joins the battle personally!
Su Yie's crisis intensified!
"It's over... Can Su Yie defeat the Black Scaled King?"
"Is that the Black Scaled King? What a powerful aura!"
"Damn it, seeing Su Yie being besieged makes me feel uneasy."
"Alas, we can't help him."
"What do you mean we can't help? Everyone follow me to the north of the city!"
The people within the city, having seen the Black Scaled King join the battle, grew even more nervous, and immediately, more people headed to the north of the city.
Of course, relative to the entire Xiwan City, these people were not many.
There were more who were afraid of death, because that is human nature.
Nan Xiaopao couldn't help but run out as well; she had to go to the north of the city and couldn't let Su Yie fight alone.
Zhang Manting's family simply couldn't stop her, after all, she possessed the Strength of One Dragon.
After Nan Xiaopao left, they could only pick up their phones and continue to watch the battle.
As for accompanying Nan Xiaopao — that was impossible.
Unless they thought life was too long.
...
Clang—
Su Yie's sword struck the Black Scaled King's right arm, sending sparks flying and slicing off black scales, causing the Black Scaled King's pupils to shrink as he hastily retreated.
The Zhou Wu Sword was one of the Seven Great Immortal Swords, by no means comparable to his scales.
"That sword..."
The Black Scaled King stared intently at the Zhou Wu Sword in Su Yie's hand, coveting it.
If he knew it was the Zhou Wu Sword, he would definitely not dare to want it.
The Seven Great Immortal Swords were an existence that shone throughout the ages, just like the Black Tiger Emperor; even if one obtained it, one would find it too hot to handle and swiftly give it away.
Some treasures are so powerful that they intimidate those who might desire them.
Upon mountains of Demon Beast corpses, Su Yie stood proudly on top, pointing his sword at the Black Scaled King, and said, "Withdraw, or not?"
This scene was perfectly captured by the live camera, and together with Su Yie's booming voice, it made countless people's blood surge with excitement.
Such boldness, simply inhuman!
"This young man can truly be called a hero of our times," said Mayor Tan Quanming with a sigh, as the bodyguards beside him nodded subconsciously, with a look of shock on their faces.
Piles of tens of thousands of Demon Beast corpses lay before them, with Su Yie standing atop this mountain of bodies, it was a sight of indescribable grandeur.
Not just them, the soldiers behind them were equally unable to contain their excitement.
Su Yie was far stronger than they had imagined!
