Chapter 459: Chapter 275: The Young Highness and the Immeasurable Sword with Su Bei_1
Not far from Xiegu City, two figures, completely shrouded in a thick black mist, stood on a watchtower, gazing at the sword rain that obscured the sky and sun.
A young man among them narrowed his eyes, smiling as he spoke, "Su Bei’s cultivation has indeed become more profound and inscrutable than when he was on the Ascension Platform. This strike might already possess the power of Dao Integration..."
He continued, "Jia Yi, what do you think? With such a spectacle, can Yi Shi withstand it?"
The slightly hunched elder standing not far behind the young man, his face obscured and clad in a dark gray robe, replied softly, "Your Highness, speaking solely of realms, Yi Shi, who is Half-Step into Dao Integration, is still higher than Su Bei. But when it comes to combat prowess, that’s not necessarily the case. It’s true that Yi Shi has a high cultivation level, but he’s definitely not stronger than Tong Xiu. During the time on the Ascension Platform, Su Bei was nearly on par with Tong Xiu. It seems now, he might be able to completely overpower him."
A profound look emerged in the young man’s eyes. His expression remained calm as he looked up at the vast sword rain and murmured thoughtfully, "Worthy of the Sword Sect indeed. Even though the older generation is dwindling, and the entire Sect is in a state verging on death, the mere presence of Shangguan Wendao makes even my father hesitate to reveal it to the world."
He then asked, "Jia Yi, who do you think has a greater chance of winning—you or the woman by Su Bei’s side?"
Jia Yi’s eyes flickered slightly as he responded, "An even chance."
After a brief moment of thought, he continued, "Your Highness, shall we save Yi Shi?"
The young man’s lips curled into an amused smile as he spoke leisurely, "If I’m not mistaken, my father should have already appeared at Empty Cicada Lake by now. What do you think will happen to Yi Shi if the Supreme finds out that Li Zijun is not dead? This Yi Shi is quite ambitious; I don’t like such people. It’s best to avoid unnecessary trouble. We’re just here to watch the show."
He then licked the corner of his lips as he watched the roiling, boiling clouds in the sky. "Having seen so many Sword Fours, Su Bei’s is still the most satisfying to watch..."
As the young man’s voice trailed off, the vast expanse of Sword Shadows in the heavens instantly froze, neither advancing nor dispersing, as if they had become a backdrop for the sky.
Yi Shi, sitting in the carriage, found his expression changing slightly, now filled with shock and uncertainty. The Spiritual Energy howling around him grew more violent, Sword Qi compressing it and producing low, booming sounds. The entire area seemed permeated by the oppressive presence of the vast Spiritual Energy.
If Yi Shi had previously harbored any illusions about Su Bei, now, facing him, he feared he couldn’t muster even a trace of resistance. Damn it! How could Su Bei be here? And... why isn’t Li Zijun dead?!
Yi Shi’s brow twitched violently. He was clearly stunned by everything before him and let out a low shout as powerful Evil Qi burst forth from his body.
If I hold back now,
he thought,
the outcome will be nothing short of tragic.
Cold sweat soaked his back. He couldn’t even begin to imagine the Supreme’s wrath.
I deceived the Supreme!
But what about those dozen or so people? Were they completely useless? Or...
In an instant, a terrifying thought crossed Yi Shi’s mind.
Could Su Bei have dealt with all of them...?
BOOM—
A massive black Evil Qi palm print roared out, meeting the vast sword rain head-on.
Su Bei stood high in the sky, seemingly indifferent as he made a beckoning gesture with his hand.
In the next moment, as if an invisible hand had traced a path across the heavens, a cloud pillar as thick as a mountain descended from the sky, connecting heaven and earth. Everyone within a hundred-li radius of Xiegu City, both inside and out, stared at this scene, rendered speechless with shock. The vast Xiegu City had fallen utterly silent. It seemed to be a sword—an immeasurable, sky-piercing sword!
Gu Qingfeng took a deep breath. Outwardly, he appeared calm, but
the turmoil in his heart was indescribable. Which cultivator wouldn’t want to become a true Immortal?! I... I was actually instructed in a sword technique by such an existence?!
All the members of the Gu Family trembled. Although the sword light wasn’t aimed at them, they felt as insignificant as ants in the face of this sword.
Chu Tiankuo’s complexion had long since lost all color. Directly facing this sword, he could feel its suffocating oppression even more acutely. He didn’t dare to make the slightest movement, terrified that this single strike would annihilate the entire Xiegu City.
The next moment confirmed everyone’s suspicions. Su Bei, one hand clasped behind his back, made a grasping gesture toward the void with his other hand, then brought his arm down in a slashing motion. The Cloud Sword in the sky thundered down in response!
Gu Qingfeng watched the scene unfold and muttered, "Sword Cultivators... so domineering..."
This sword strike, as unstoppable as splitting bamboo, met no resistance from the Evil Qi gathered before Yi Shi. Under the watchful eyes of many, the Sword Qi swept through like a flood, ultimately carrying a terrifying Spiritual Energy pressure that crushed everything in its path. Before this overwhelmingly powerful Spiritual Energy, all other attacks seemed to shrink into insignificance.
BOOM!
The sea of Sword Qi crashed down, meeting Yi Shi’s all-out attack head-on.
CRASH!
The moment they collided, a thunderous boom echoed, clearly audible within a hundred-li radius. All eyes were riveted on the point of impact, where shockwaves of Spiritual Energy radiated outwards like a storm.
CLANG—
And under the tense gazes of everyone present, the sea of Sword Qi surged with giant waves. In the blink of an eye, before their terrified stares, it enveloped and extinguished the Evil Qi palm...
BOOM—
Yi Shi’s complexion changed drastically, and he spurted a mouthful of fresh blood, staining his chest red.
Blood instantly gushed from six of his seven orifices, unable to withstand the terrifying Sword Qi. His eyes were bloodshot, the bones in his chest shattered into countless pieces, and his entire body, along with the already splintered carriage, slammed three zhang deep into the ground.
HISS—
All the cultivators in Xiegu City watching the battle couldn’t help but gasp.
That mysteriously terrifying expert... subdued in a single exchange!?
Yi Shi stared in terror at the Cloud Sword, which continued its descent without pause.
I have such a promising future! How can my life end here? This isn’t fair!! Why?!
Coughing up a mouthful of blood and broken teeth, Yi Shi frantically waved his hands, his eyes filled with terror as he shouted towards Su Bei, who remained unmoved in the sky, "Elder Su! I know about the Evil Qi... I’ll tell you everything I know..."
Su Bei’s dark eyes indifferently watched Yi Shi and the hundreds of Hu Chu Family members who were frozen in fear. His white hair fluttered in the wind, but he remained silent. That indifferent expression sent a chill through everyone’s hearts.
「Then—」
He gently lifted his index finger and softly uttered, "Disperse."
With a single finger, he commanded the swords.
The clouds in the sky instantly disintegrated, transforming into countless flying swords that hung suspended, forming a sword formation with their tips aimed directly at Yi Shi.
Seemingly seeing a chance to survive, the members of the Noble Hu Chu Family fell to their knees one by one, their faces ashen, expressions desperate with fear. They repeatedly kowtowed in the direction of the Gu Family.
"Elder Su! I want to live!"
"Spare me, I’ll tell you everything..."
"Elder Su, have mercy..."
"Great Sir, spare us! We were blind and failed to recognize your eminence, offending you greatly..."
Chu Tiankuo’s hair had come undone, his earlier image of an elegant gentleman completely gone. His eyes were unfocused as despair washed over him. He muttered,
"Impossible... this can’t be happening..." When did the Gu Family gain such a powerful backer? How could this be possible?
At this thought, Chu Tiankuo felt a wave of utter despair.
Has my choice doomed the Chu Family’s future?!
