Chapter 1142 - No Matter How Many Come, I’ll Kill Them All

It was just two simple words, but they went off like a divine decree.

And something arrived even faster than the sound of that voice: a streak of sword qi!

Whoosh!

Sword qi appeared out of nowhere, effortlessly cleaving through the air as it flew toward the woman in military attire.

She felt a strong sense of impending crisis, and she didn’t hesitate to retreat explosively back.

Boom!

When that streak of sword qi landed, it carved a thousand-foot rift in the air. Unstoppable sword qi ran rampant, and the entire stretch of heaven showed signs of collapse.

Practically simultaneously, an explosion rang out, and a figure appeared before Jing Xing as if ripping through space.

Whoosh!

All eyes were instantly upon him.

This new arrival was dressed in blue. His figure was tall and upright, and he looked transcendent and detached.

“M-Master?!” Jing Xing’s eyes widened in apparent disbelief.

Earlier, he’d been ready to fight to the death.

Who’d have thought the situation would turn on its head in the blink of an eye?

“Old Monster Su!?” The old glutton was flabbergasted too.

Although Su Xuanjun’s appearance had changed, that aloof, contemptuous, transcendent bearing was the same as before!

“Many thanks, old glutton,” Su Yi said softly. “All you have to do now is stand aside and take care of those injuries.”

He then turned to Jing Xing. “You focus on overcoming your tribulation.”

Only now did Jing Xing seem convinced that this wasn’t just a dream. His face filled with delight and astonishment, and there was just so much he wanted to say.

But in the end, he suppressed it all and nodded. “As you command, Master!”

The old glutton was obviously worked up too. He took a deep breath and said, “Fine. I only have one request... Kill every last one of them!”

His voice practically burst with undisguised murderous intent.

“Of course,” said Su Yi with a subtle nod.

Off in the distance, the man in the crane cloak snickered. “A late-stage Profound Serenity Realm cultivator? And you dare boast so shamelessly? Ridiculous!”

The five Emperors burst into mocking laughter.

When the woman in military attire realized she’d just been startled into retreating by a mere late-stage Profound Serenity Realm cultivator, her expression filled with self-deprecation. “I embarrassed myself in front of you, young master.”

The man in the crane cloak waved magnanimously. “Better safe than sorry. Why speak of humiliating yourself?”

Here, his eyes shone like radiant golden torches as he evaluated the distant Su Yi. “I can tell they see you as their savior. That’s proof enough that your cultivation isn’t as simple as it appears on the surface. How about this? I’ll give you an opportunity.”

He gestured to the five Emperors and said leisurely, “If you can last ten minutes beneath their attacks without dying, I promise to leave all three of you a path to life. Of course, that’s on the condition that you submit to me.”

“Ten minutes?” One of the five Emperors, a middle-aged man in embroidered dragon robes, felt he’d been underestimated, and he seethed with murderous intent. "That’ll be more than enough to take him down!”

Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, he led the charge.

Boom!

He waved a black halberd, stirring up dim gray shadows with appalling murderous power as he charged at Su Yi.

Forceful beyond measure!

He and his companions seemed to have great tacit understanding, as the others immediately coordinated with him. Each took out their treasures, and they worked together to surround Su Yi and prevent him from escaping.

Su Yi naturally wouldn’t run away. Jing Xing and the old glutton’s grievous wounds had long since filled his heart with murderous intent.

Especially since, if he hadn’t made it here in time, the two of them likely would have died!

“An ant trying to shake a tree.” Su Yi snorted coldly, then stretched out and flicked his fingers.

Crunch!

The middle-aged man’s black halberd split into pieces.

As its fragments scattered, the sword qi cut through the air.

Splurt!

It cleaved a bleeding hole right between the man’s eyes. A moment later, his head exploded, followed by his body.

In the end, the bloodied fragments of corpses burst too, dissipating into ashes.

All that remained was the perfectly straight sword scar in the air. It extended far into the distance.

“Hm?” The man in the crane cloak focused his gaze.

“Something’s wrong!” The woman in military attire immediately reacted.

The other four Emperors had similarly strong reactions, but it was already too late to change course. All of them gnashed their teeth and unleashed their full strength, no longer daring to keep anything in reserve.

Boom!

The various treasures rumbled and burst with monstrous power sending divine radiance sweeping across the sky. A flood of destructive power blanketed heaven and earth, all of it aimed at Su Yi.

Su Yi’s expression was perfectly calm, without the slightest hint of emotion. He stretched out his right hand and pressed down on the air.

Boom!

It was as if the hand of a deity had lifted a primordial divine mountain into the air, only to slam it back down to earth.

Heaven and earth instantly caved in, and countless startling rifts formed on the ground.

One treasure after another shattered into pieces, their fragments scattering in all directions.

One secret art after another burst like a soap bubble, dissipating into nothingness.

As for the four charging Emperors? Their bodies split, their flesh and souls minced into tiny pieces that soon dissipated into the collapsed stretch of heaven and earth.

All he’d done was raise and press down with his hand, but he’d overturned heaven and earth, reducing four Emperors’ souls to nothingness!

The entire area was instantly deathly silent. Everyone was stunned!

“That....” The old glutton’s eyes widened.

After undergoing reincarnation, Old Monster Su is seriously this ridiculously strong?

Earlier, he sensed that Su Yi’s cultivation was only in the Profound Serenity Realm. At first, he assumed that Su Yi had brought some killer weapon with him, and that he was using whatever it was to quell this storm.

Who’d have thought there was no “killer weapon” after all? He’d just slaughtered five Emperors of the stars beyond the Wilds with casual ease!

As if he were squishing mere ants!

“With Master here, everything’s settled...” Jing Xing completely relaxed. Like the other disciples of the Grotto of Abstruse Force, he had absolute confidence in his master, and he wasn’t all that surprised.

Without any further thought, Jing Xing soared into the air and met his Tribulation of Profound Unity head-on!

“Yun You, can you see through that guy’s abilities?” The man in the crane cloak looked uncertain, without any of his former composure and pride.

The woman in military attire looked solemn, and her sharp gaze was imposing. “I cannot, but I’m willing to test his abilities for myself.”

“Wait for now.” The man in the crane cloak waved, then turned to look at Su Yi. “Sir, you just killed five of my subordinates. That’s likely alleviated much of your anger. However, I’m afraid you have no idea of our origins. How about we have a chat to prevent forming any irreconcilable grudges? Who knows... we might well be able to laugh past enmities away.”

It seemed he didn’t care about the five dead Emperors in the slightest.

The woman in military attire seemed strange. She hadn’t expected their young master, who’d always been forceful and tyrannical, to take a step back of his own accord.

Off in the distance, Su Yi approached, his gaze as tranquil as the waters of an ancient well. He said casually, “Laugh past enmities away? As if. No matter who comes, all of you must die here today.”

The man in the crane cloak frowned.

Clang!

The woman in military attire drew her bronze short halberd, her aura instantly terrifying beyond measure.

“Please wait, young master. Your subordinate will go take that guy’s head!”

Before the woman’s voice had even finished echoing through the air, she shot forth like lightning.

Boom!

The surrounding landscape swayed, and everything dimmed.

A tide of terrifying, auster murderous intent surged from the woman in military attire. She bellowed, and her bronze short halberd cleaved through the air.

Whoosh!

It was as if a dazzling arc of blue lightning were tearing through the sky. The power of this strike was almost beyond imagination. The power she displayed was greater than the five Emperors’ joint attack, and by no small margin, either!

But she was ultimately only in the mid-stage Profound Unity Realm. She was so strong because of the Laws of the Grand Dao she’d mastered and the treasures she wielded.

People like her had long since ceased to be worthy of Su Yi’s notice!

The onlookers watched as he neither fled nor dodged. His right hand shot forth, his hands as unstoppable as an axe through rotten wood. The murderous power filling the sky shattered, and he closed his fingers around the bronze halberd.

It was as if time had frozen still.

The bronze short halberd couldn’t advance even another inch.

The woman in military attire froze, her eyes widening. She would never have guessed that he’d block her full-force, lightning-quick attack!

Crunch! Crunch!

The bronze halberd wailed, then split apart, inch by inch.

The woman in military attire was just about to retreat explosively when a hand reached for her throat from afar.

“Break!” She swung her palm and clashed with it head-on.

But as soon as she made contact with Su Yi’s hand, the force snapped her wrist, and her arm burst with a spray of blood.

Immediately after, Su Yi had seized her firmly by the throat, and he held her aloft as if she were a chicken. Her cultivation base was instantly thoroughly suppressed!

Off in the distance, the man in the crane cloak was stunned. His eyes widened, as if he was struggling to accept all of this.

The old glutton gasped.

Earlier, he’d clashed with the woman in military attire personally, only to discover that even with his Imperial Apex Realm cultivation, he was no match for her!

Yet she couldn’t take even a single hit from Su Xuanjun! She was no different from a clay chicken or porcelain dog!

“Dammit!” The woman in military attire was so scared that her soul practically left her body. “Who is this person? How could such a terrifying figure exist in the Dark and Gold Star Realm?”

Whap!

She took a clean, crisp slap to the face, then shuddered from head to toe. She saw stars, and her cheek was red and swollen.

A powerful sense of humiliation coursed through her. She shouted, “Do you have any idea who we are?”

Whap!

Su Yi answered with yet another slap. Her cheek caved in, leaving her face an indistinct, meaty pulp.

When the old glutton saw this, he inwardly cheered Su Yi on.

That woman had slapped him around earlier, and it was indescribably humiliating. Now, he watched as Su Yi returned the favor. Of course it felt great!

“Stop!!” The man in the crane cloak bellowed, his face ashen. “I’ll give you just one chance. Let her go! Or else, I’ll destroy your entire family!”

Crunch!

Su Yi directly snapped the woman’s neck. Furthermore, he tightened his grip, reducing her corpse to ash.

“You...” The man in the crane cloak was aghast, and his eyes widened. In all his years of cultivation, he’d never seen anyone so unrestrained or forceful. Su Yi wasn’t taking his threats into account at all!

A moment later, he turned tail and fled! He dared not hesitate in the slightest.

Bang!

But before the man in the crane cloak got far, a slap exploded his physical body. His soul had only just emerged from the wreckage when a big, powerful hand seized it.

The man in the crane cloak seemed to realize that he wasn’t getting out of this alive. He couldn’t help but roar, “Just you wait! There’s absolutely no way the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect will let you people off!”

“That so?” Su Yi looked at the distant skies, where Jing Xing had already started undergoing tribulation, and said casually, “I’ll give you an opportunity. You have until my disciple finishes his tribulation to call as many people as you like.

“No matter how many come, I’ll kill them all. I promise to let you die without regrets.”
