Chapter 341: I’ll See You Off

Su Hongli’s infuriated roar reverberated throughout heaven and earth.

When they saw how thoroughly he’d lost his cool, the crowd couldn’t help but sigh.

How mighty had the head of the Su Family been? Both his cultivation and the cards at his disposal were far stronger than they’d imagined.

Yet now, after that peerless yet cursed sword abandoned him, he’d completely lost control, sinking into hysterics. He’d gone mad with fury!

Anyone would have sighed upon seeing this.

Whoosh!

Su Hongli charged explosively at Su Yi. His expression was ashen and terrifying, and his eyes flashed with cold light as he reached for the hilt of the cursed sword.

There was no doubt about it; he was trying to snatch it back.

Su Yi’s gaze was cold as he swung the Abstruse God Sword.

Boom!

The Great Five Elements Suppression Domain Sword surged into being, like a primordial divine mountain.

Before Su Hongli could even get close, the terrifying suppression froze him mid-charge, and he almost fell back down to earth.

It was then that Su Yi reached through the air, grabbed, and pulled Su Hongli toward him.

Whap!

He slapped him right across the face.

Su Hongli’s cheek caved in, the flesh red, swollen, and bleeding. It was practically pulped.

“You…” Su Hongli was mad with fury, but just as he was about to say something—

Whap!

Another resounding slap followed. Su Yi hit him so hard, his ears rang, his mind went blank, and he saw stars.

“Every time you open your mouth, out comes another ‘my unworthy son.’ Tell me,?are you worthy of being my father?” Su Yi’s gaze was cold and indifferent.

The entire area fell silent. Even the birds ceased their song.

Everyone could tell that, without his peerless, cursed sword, Su Hongli had already been completely suppressed.

“Father—!” Within the Su Family estate, Su Boning cried out in grief and agony, so angry that his eyes threatened to pop.

Beneath countless gazes, Su Yi had slapped his father right across the face, showing him no respect at all. Of course Su Boning was angry!

You Qingzhi quivered with anger too, and her beautiful face was ashen. She gnashed her teeth so hard that they almost shattered.

From the servants to the higher-ups, every member of the Su Family was as still as a mud statue. They felt chills in their hands and feet; they simply couldn’t accept what they were seeing.

“This battle has truly been difficult to predict…” Lonely River sighed, his expression shifting and uncertain.

The other Earthly Immortals alongside him—Yun Zhongqi, Shi Fengli, the Pineflame Daoist, among others—couldn’t stay calm either.

Su Hongli’s strength was already enough to make them shiver.

And Su Yi? The strength he’d displayed terrified them!

Yue Shichan, Ge Changling, and Su Yi’s friends and allies sighed in relief, but traces of shock lingered on their brows.

It seemed the dust was finally settling on this battle. However, no one would have anticipated that even against someone as mighty as Su Hongli, Su Yi could seize an absolute advantage.

Even after all that, he hadn’t so much as been injured!

It was practically a miracle!

Mu Xi, Pu Yi, and the rest of Su Yi’s allies smiled. Their hearts had been hanging on tenterhooks, but now, they finally relaxed.

Their only regret was, perhaps, the Daoist elder’s death; he’d gotten off too lightly.

The distant onlookers were still shocked, and they had yet to recover their senses. The atmosphere was now as still and silent as could be.

Su Hongli quivered with rage, too angry to think straight. He shrieked, “Ungwafwee?fwet! (Unworthy brat!) Dwo wyo wiwy fwin you wong!? (Do you really think you’ve won!?)”

It took Su Yi a moment to react to what Su Hongli was saying; his mouth was so swollen that he couldn’t speak clearly.

Whap!

Su Yi slapped Su Hongli right across the face once more, without the slightest politeness. “I’m naturally well aware that the cursed sword isn’t your true trump card. Otherwise, don’t you think I would have crippled you already?

Ge Changling had told him that his mother, Ye Yufei, carried an extremely sinister and dangerous demonic treasure. Furthermore, he said it was highly likely that Su Hongli had changed precisely because of said treasure.

As a result, the cursed blade sealed within the ninety-foot sword tomb in the chasm of Sifting Darkness Yao Mountain was, at most, just one of Su Hongli’s trump cards.

“Haha! Hahaha!” When he heard that, Su Hongli suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes surging with madness.

Practically simultaneously, Su Yi sensed an extremely dangerous aura, and he flung Su Hongli away without the slightest hesitation.

Boom!

He then watched as Su Hongli’s body surged with black light that shot into the nine heavens and spread, covering the entire stretch of sky.

And here the crowd had assumed that the curtains had already fallen on this duel. When they saw this, their hair stood on end.

Su Hongli still has cards up his sleeves??The Su Family members, including You Qingzhi and Su Boning, were so delighted that they almost burst into tears. All of them got excited.

They felt as if they’d received new hope just as they were on the verge of drowning!

Rumble!

Heaven and earth shook with Su Hongli at their center. Dark light surged, and demonic energy churned, blotting out the sun.

The crowd then watched as Su Hongli’s eyes turned red and indifferent. Even his hair was tinged the color of blood.

His aura changed too, becoming cold and terrifying, like a demonic god straight out of the Netherworld, mighty beyond limit.

“This…” The Earthly Immortals’ expressions shifted; this scene stunned even them.

When Su Hongli first absorbed the Daoist elder’s life force and hefted his peerless, cursed blade, he was majestic and imposing to the extreme.

Yet now, he was even stronger than he’d been then!

Yue Shichan, Ge Changling, Mu Xi, and Pu Yi’s expressions froze.

Who’d have thought that something like this would happen just as they thought the dust had settled?

Only Su Yi remained as calm as before.

This scene didn’t surprise him at all. He’d long since suspected that something had happened to change Su Hongli, and when Ge Changling brought up that demonic treasure, Su Yi quickly connected the dots.

All of this only served to verify his deductions.

Boom!

Su Hongli suddenly stretched, then took a deep breath, absorbing the black demonic qi filling the skies back into his body.

Then, he turned his unearthly red eyes on Su Yi and smiled. “Many thanks, my son. If not for your help, I’m afraid this lofty one would have needed far more time before I could appear before you like this.”

His voice was pleasant, like the ringing of a bell.

The onlookers shuddered as they sensed the malevolent energy emanating from Su Hongli.

He seemed to have become an entirely different person.

Su Yi said flatly, “‘My son’? Just for that, I’m going to refine you, you paltry little demonic spirit.”

A demonic spirit!

The crowd felt a surge of fright.?Don’t tell me Su Hongli has been possessed?

“That so? But I’m afraid you don’t have that kind of skill,” laughed Su Hongli, the sound soft and unearthly. “How about this? There’s no need for us to fight. Pledge yourself to my cause and become my subordinate, and I guarantee that you’ll reach the pinnacle of the Grand Dao and be honored across the world!”

His tone was casual despite his boastful words.

“Hah?” Su Yi laughed, but his eyes were cold and indifferent. He put away the Abstruse God Sword, then stretched out his hand and grabbed.

Clang!

The hovering cursed black sword fell into his palm, humming with excitement; the weapon practically jumped and whooped with joy.

The sword was three feet, four inches long and four fingers wide. The edge was as fine as a cicada’s wing, and the blade was as straight as a ruler. There were tiny characters, each the size of a fly, engraved on the hilt. They read: “Early Grave.”

Wisps of baleful energy fell from the blade like a waterfall, giving it a startling, inauspicious majesty.

“If you don’t behave yourself, I’ll refine your cursed soul too,” whispered Su Yi.

Boom!

This seemed to motivate Early Grave. Its blade burst with vicious light, and it charged into the air like a rampaging rhinoceros. Its hum, reminiscent of the howling of demonic gods, permeated the skies.

Its power was obviously far greater than when Su Hongli had wielded it!

The sight left the onlookers flabbergasted.?Isn’t this cursed blade a bit too obedient?

“You truly wish to fight with this lofty one?” Su Hongli’s brow furrowed, and his unearthly red eyes flashed with cold light.

Su Yi answered with a swing of his sword, not the least bit polite.

Whoosh!

Great Five Elements Suppression Domain Sword!

When displayed through Early Grave, the five elemental mountains manifested?of sword?qi had an additional bloodthirsty, baleful energy, and they dyed the entire stretch of sky a striking, bloody crimson.

Su Hongli snorted coldly, raised his hand, and took out a black bronze bell.

It was the size of a palm, and its pitch-black surface was covered in sinister, terrifying depictions of hell.

As the bell circulated, streaks of crimson lightning descended, their destructive power tearing eye-catching, startling rifts in the air.

This was an unquestionably terrifying treasure.

When the Earthly Immortals saw it, they felt as if a needle were pricking their souls, and they were instantly flabbergasted.

The distant onlookers couldn’t defend their minds at all. Their expressions went blank, but inwardly, it was as if they’d descended into a dark, terrifying, blood-red hellscape. They struggled in the face of despair, unable to free themselves.

This strange and terrifying treasure was influencing their very souls!

“It’s that demonic treasure! It must be!” Ge Changling was instantly agitated.

Years ago, Ye Yufei had warned them about the strange and sinister treasure she carried, one that could invade and influence the mind. It was extremely dangerous.

Thinking about it now, it had to be that demonic bell!

It was currently in Su Hongli’s possession. This was unquestionable proof that he had indeed stolen it from Ye Yufei, and that its energy had indeed influenced him, leading to a dramatic change in temperament!

Clang!

Su Hongli waved his sleeves, and the bell rumbled, producing towering, crimson lightning as it met Su Yi’s incoming slash head-on.

The sound of the bell alone shook numerous onlookers to the point of coughing up blood, and they felt as if their heads were about to split open; their souls suffered heavy injuries.

Even the Earthly Immortals had to circulate their cultivations at full power to defend against the soundwaves targeting their souls.

Rumble!

An impact so loud, heaven and earth caved in rang out.

The black bell and a sword swathed in baleful energy clashed, currents of destructive energy surging madly from the point of impact.

The onlookers dared not even imagine how terrifying a calamity that power would cause were they to have clashed on the ground.

Sparks fell like rain. Su Yi carried Early Grave and charged into the fray.

The pupils of Su Hongli’s blood-red eyes constricted; it seemed he hadn’t expected Su Yi to counter the black bell’s force so easily.

A moment later, he burst into cold laughter, and he tapped repeatedly on the bell’s surface, his fingers quick as lightning.

The palm-sized bell suddenly expanded until it was a thousand feet tall. A dark, bloody hellscape manifested above it, stirring up towering, crimson lightning.

“My son, allow me to send you to the next world!” Su Hongli burst into soft, feminine laughter, then waved his hand. “Go!”

Rumble!

The thousand-foot black bell descended and enveloped the entire stretch of sky Su Yi currently occupied, bringing crimson lightning straight out of hell.

Su Yi was completely trapped!
