Chapter 2312 - Whipping a Master God

Liuxiang Hen flew into a rage, his expression sinister. “Su Yi, you dare humiliate me even now? You’re simply seeking death!”

Boom!

The characteristic majesty of a Nine-Tribulation Master God swept outward, shaking heaven and earth.

Wan Zitian narrowed his eyes, and terrifying sword force surged around him. In a one-on-one duel, he was strong enough to suppress Liuxiang Hen.

“Do what I told you.” Su Yi glanced at Wan Zitian, who instantly fell silent.

Off in the distance, Master God Yun He said calmly, “Brother Liuxiang, you can attack as you please now. No need for reservations!”

“Got it!” Liuxiang Hen nodded.

“Wait!” said the Mountain Guardian. “You cannot kill anyone in the Celestial Capital! If you do, don’t blame me for my rudeness!”

Liuxiang Hen burst into laughter. “Rest assured that I won’t let him die so easily!!”

Whoosh!

He rose to his full height, and searing, fiery purple chains of the Laws appeared around him, then transformed into a purple Luan on the verge of taking off and soaring into the sky.

The Luan beat its wings, and a wave of fire filled the sky, emanating terrifying, destructive, Undying power. Then, it dove at Su Yi, sharp claws outstretched.

The onlookers held their breath. All of them felt as if they’d been plunged into an endless, blazing inferno.

Many of them looked stricken, as the majestic aura of a Nine-Tribulation Master God was mighty enough to make them give in to despair!

But other old monsters of the same level could tell that Liuxiang Hen’s attack was intended as a probe.

It was obvious that he was cautious of Su Yi and that he hadn’t really gotten complacent. Rather, he was “tossing a stone to test the path ahead.”

If he succeeded, he’d naturally suppress Su Yi, but if he didn’t, he wouldn’t imperil himself, either.

Su Yi naturally realized this, too. He laughed dryly, then suddenly took action.

Boom!

𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

When he stretched out his hand, a waterfall of the power of divine punishment came crashing down.

This was Supreme Emergence Source Power. It effortlessly blasted the diving purple Luan into smithereens.

A rain of light scattered, and crystalline, translucent Supreme Emergence Source Power manifested a whip and ruthlessly struck Liuxiang Hen.

Crack!!!

Liuxiang Hen was sent flying backward.

At a critical juncture, his hands formed seals, and he just barely managed to block. Even so, the whip almost tore through his defenses, making his blood and qi churn. It was incomparably painful.

“You’re cheating——!!” Liuxiang Hen roared in fury.

The crowd was in uproar. Everyone was wide-eyed and tongue-tied.

All of them could tell that Su Yi had just drawn upon the Blue Sky Divine Mountain’s omnipresent, endless power of divine punishment!

That was a manifestation of Supreme Emergence Source Power. It was strong enough to injure and suppress even Nine-Tribulation Master Gods!

“Wondrous!” Wan Zitian’s eyes lit up. He finally realized why Su Yi was so confident.

Meanwhile, Master God Yun He, Yue Youyuan, and the other old-timers could no longer remain calm.

But before they could react, Su Yi struck yet again.

Boom!

The whip of divine punishment was like a blue dragon soaring through the heavens, bringing with it taboo, terrifying power. It was aiming for Liuxiang Hen once more.

“Activate!” Liuxiang Hen took out a blood-red Daoist Seal and fought back. This was his Undying Treasure, and it was wondrously powerful.

But it was instantly sent flying, its wails shaking the heavens.

The power of divine punishment was like the Laws of the Celestial Capital. How could it possibly be ordinary?

This strike didn’t just send Liuxiang Hen’s treasure flying; it shattered his defensive Dao Light, too. A bloody wound tore open on his chest.

“You...” Liuxiang Hen was furious—and alarmed. The power of divine punishment was just too terrifying, and it seemed omnipresent. Even with Liuxiang Hen’s Nine-Tribulation Undying Realm cultivation base, he couldn’t possibly dodge it in time.

Since Su Yi had decided to attack, he naturally wouldn’t hold back or hesitate. He leaped forward, and the whips of divine punishment struck like a pelting rain.

At first, Liuxiang Hen could somewhat defend himself, but within just a few breaths of time, the whips tore countless bloody gashes open all over his body, and he scurried away like a rat, clutching his head and shrieking.

The whole crowd was in uproar as everyone moved further away.

“Brother Liuxiang, I’ll save you!” Yue Youyuan shouted, then activated a Bagua Disc and struck Su Yi.

He could tell at a glance that Su Yi could only draw on a limited amount of the power of divine punishment, and that it wasn’t enough to be lethal. It could injure Nine-Tribulation Master Gods at most.

If the two of them fought together, there was no need to fear failing to capture Su Yi.

Boom!

The Bagua Disc rose into the heavens, scattering stinging, intense golden light. However, it was still mid-flight when the power of divine punishment fell like rain, slamming into the disc.

The treasure quivered and let out a heaven-shaking wail.

Su Yi, meanwhile, disregarded Liuxiang Hen and turned his attention toward Yue Youyuan.

Crack!!

A whip smacked him right in the face, shattering his cheekbone and sending several teeth flying from his jaw. His mouth was full of blood.

He spun like a top, whirling three times in the air before falling to the ground.

There was no denying that Yue Youyuan had helped Liuxiang Hen... by taking his place as Su Yi’s target!

The power of divine punishment struck like a pelting rain. Yue Youyuan cried out repeatedly, like a wailing ghost or howling wolf. He couldn’t have been any more wretched.

It was an utterly ridiculous scene.

“Mountain Guardian, what’s going on here!?” Master God Yun He shouted.

“Uh...” The Mountain Guardian shrugged, an innocent look on his face. “How should I know? Why not ask Fellow Daoist Su?”

“...” The crowd didn’t know what to say.

Master God Yun He was so angry that his lungs almost burst.

The damned fatty is obviously lying!

Wan Zitian laughed so hard that his sides almost split. It was like watching a parent beat their useless child with a stick. Everything was in complete chaos, and the Master Gods were scampering about like dogs and chickens.

Who could have imagined that these were the very same old-timers who’d just proclaimed that they would capture Su Yi alive?

Look at them now! They were the very picture of wretchedness!

Master God Yun He roared, “I order you to stop this immediately. You cannot let Su—”

Crack!

A whip of divine punishment whooshed toward Master God Yun He, making him stagger on his feet and take several steps back.

Even his voice came to an abrupt halt.

“Old Man Yun He, do you really think a command token is enough to let you act with abandon in the Celestial Capital?” jeered Su Yi.

All the while, his movements never slowed. He used the power of divine punishment to ruthlessly pummel Master God Yun He.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Master God Yun He took out his treasures and fought back with all his might, but in the end, he couldn’t defend himself.

Before long, his whole body was covered in blood. His Daoist topknot had come undone, and his hair was disheveled. He grimaced in pain.

“Attack together!” Master God Yun He roared, his eyes bloodshot.

Liuxiang Hen, Yue Youyuan, and the other old-timers had long since reached their wits’ end. The combination of whipping and mockery had driven them all to madness.

But before any of them could draw near Su Yi, he forced them back with a whip. Agonized cries rose and fell in waves.

The crowd gasped as they watched this incomparably lively and exciting battle in astonishment. Deep within their hearts, the whole thing seemed utterly absurd.

A Mid-Rank God was using the whip of divine punishment to make a whole group of Nine-Tribulation Master Gods howl in agony!

If word got out, they feared no one would believe it. It was just too insane!

“Don’t you think it looks like Fellow Daoist Su is training a pack of beasts?” Wan Zitian said solemnly. “Look at his technique. Isn’t it marvelous? No matter how frenzied those old dogs get, they can’t get near him.”

The Mountain Guardian could no longer hold back sputtering laughter. He grinned from ear to ear.

Wan Zitian glanced at the Mountain Guardian.

He really is dishonest. Earlier, when they threatened him with the Origin Dao Medallion, he acted furious, helpless, and aggrieved.

Looking at him now, it was all obviously an act!

He must have known that Brother Fuyou received a degree of authority over Supreme Emergence Source Power from the starry chaos void over Blue Sky Divine Mountain!

But he kept a lid on it this entire time. He’s truly... insidious!!

The atmosphere was strange indeed.

Su Yi one-sidedly whipped a whole group of Master Gods, making them cry out repeatedly.

Many of the onlookers felt as if their very perception of reality were under attack. They were completely bewildered.

Each of those Nine-Tribulation Master Gods was like a living legend. They stood proudly at the pinnacle of the God Domain. Anyone who saw them could only gaze upon them with reverence and awe.

Who could have imagined that they’d ever wind up in such a wretched state!?

The experts who’d come here with Master God Yun He and the others were visibly overcome with fury and shame. They felt utterly humiliated.

Like children watching their seniors get whipped like mules. They felt as if ten thousand swords were piercing their hearts.

“Aren’t you going to stop him, you damned fatty!?” roared Master God Yun He. He was covered in blood, and his hair was disheveled. His wounds weren’t exactly serious, but he looked wretched to the extreme.

The Mountain Guardian sighed. “Earlier, you were the one who told me to remain a neutral party. How could I disobey? Besides, as the Mountain Guardian, I cannot get involved in worldly disputes.”

“....”

Many of them suddenly realized that the Mountain Guardian was actually the most insidious person here!

He’d set his trap, then left Master God Yun He and the others to suffer the consequences of their own actions.

The Mountain Guardian rubbed his cheeks and said with solemnity and pity, “But rest assured, Fellow Daoists. It is forbidden to kill anyone in the Celestial Capital, so I promise you won’t die here!”

Master God Yun He and the others were so furious that they felt as if their lungs might well explode.

He obviously wanted to watch Su Yi trample all over us! He won’t come to our aid until our lives are hanging by a thread!

Even if Su Yi couldn’t kill them, what if he left them with Dao Wounds or crippled their cultivation bases?

Clang!

Wan Zitian got so excited watching this that he drew his sword and charged into the fray.

He was a peak Nine-Tribulation master of the sword in his own right, and he’d only ever lost to Yi Daoxuan. His combat strength was incontrovertibly mighty.

He immediately set his sights on Liuxiang Hen. He planned to force the old man to carry out his end of their bet and kowtow to Su Yi!

The Mountain Guardian didn’t forget to offer him a friendly reminder: “Fellow Daoist, whatever you do, you cannot kill anyone! If you do, I’ll have no choice but to intervene—!”

Qi Wei could no longer hold back laughter. Her beautiful eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and her slender, graceful figure quivered with uncontrollable mirth.

That fatty is just too good at causing trouble!

When Master God Yun He saw Wan Zitian enter the battle, his heart sank, and his eyes flashed with determination.

Then, he took out the Origin Dao Medallion.
