Chapter 1068 - I Just Happened to Be Passing Throughaction

Clang!

The sword hum swept forth like the tides, instantly reverberating throughout the grand, silent hall.

Moonlit Shadow appeared like an ethereal streak of moonlight and landed in Su Yi's fair, slender hand. His wrists turned, and he thrust the sword into the air.

A perfectly straight rift tore open, and unstoppable, forceful sword qi scattered. It was like a swath of flowing light boring through the air and illuminating the entire hall.

The thin old man felt a chill course through his heart.

As a late-stage Profound Serenity expert of the Levitating Sword Hall, he’d overcome countless battles and immeasurable bloodshed. As soon as Su Yi thrust his sword, he sensed the danger.

There was no time to even think. The thin old man’s voice boomed like spring thunder as eye-piercing golden light burst around him. The terrifying power of the Laws swept forth like a tidal wave or avalanche.

“Break!” The thin old man’s sleeves billowed around him, and a glittering golden Dao Sword shot through the air.

Boom!

Startling destructive energy fluctuations surged from the blade, like a golden sun descending from the heavens.

Dang!!!

An explosion reverberated through the hall, and the violent energy fluctuations of the Grand Dao swept outward.

It was as if the thin old man had collided with a divine mountain. He was forced nine steps backward in rapid succession. With each step he took, his face paled and the grand hall shook.

By the time he stabilized himself, the wave of destructive power had destroyed the hall’s tables and chairs, reducing them to powder.

And that glittering golden Dao Sword was sent flying back. It was now embedded in the wall, trembling and wailing!

One light, understated strike, and he’d forced a Profound Serenity Realm old monster back nine steps! Even his sword was sent flying from his grip!

That terrifying power made Hong Shanfeng’s heart shake, and his expression changed completely.

“You were actually stupid enough to use the Ten Directions Sword Sutra… Master gave your Levitating Sword Hall that legacy!” Ye Luo sighed.

A long time ago, the Levitating Sword Hall was just a tiny, unknown sect. Its founder was but one of his master’s thirty-six honorary disciples!

It was because of Su Yi’s prestige and protection that the Levitating Sword Hall gradually rose to prominence, becoming one of the Six Great Daoist Sects!

But after Su Yi reincarnated, the experts of the Levitating Sword Hall joined Pi Mo in attacking the Grotto of Abstruse Force. They even slandered Su Yi, saying he’d stolen their greatest legacy, the Ten Directions Sword Sutra. How ridiculous was that?

“Quick, call for help!” the thin old man roared. His hair and beard bristled, and he drew upon the full extent of his cultivation base, fighting with his life on the line. He controlled the sword Su Yi had sent flying from his grip earlier and attacked once more.

Hong Shanfeng dared not slack off. He immediately took out a bronze bell.

However, just as he was about to activate it, a heaven-shaking impact rang out.

The thin old man had been sent flying, and before he even hit the ground, his body exploded in midair with a spray of blood.

Even his soul had been disintegrated into powder!

Su Yi had just crushed a high elder of the Levitating Sword Hall in a direct confrontation!

This bloody, tyrannical scene left even Ye Luo stunned. How long has it been since I last saw him? Master’s cultivation is far, far stronger than it was in the Netherworld!

“Martial Uncle!” Hong Shanfeng cried out in grief, his eyes bloodshot.

The leader of the Levitating Sword Hall had completely lost control, and he activated his bronze bell with all his might.

Clang!!!!

The ringing of the bell reverberated throughout the sect.

Su Yi gripped his sword, but he did nothing to stop Hong Shanfeng. He just stood there from beginning to end, calm and composed.

Even back in the mid-stage Profound Illumination Realm, killing Profound Serenity Emperors had ceased to be difficult for him.

It was even easier now; he’d recently refined a portion of Dark and Gold Essence, breaking into the late-stage Profound Illumination Realm. His cultivation base had undergone a startling transformation, too.

“No matter who you people are, tonight, you both have to die——!” Hong Shangfeng bellowed.

But as he spoke, he moved further away, drawing all kinds of treasures and using them to defend himself. He dared not clash with Su Yi head-on.

Ye Luo sneered. Is this all the lofty leader of the Levitating Sword Hall can do?

Before long, a clamor of voices rang out outside the hall, alongside the sound of experts shooting through the skies.

“Who are these scoundrels? How dare they commit murder in the Levitating Sword Hall!?” A low voice boomed, and the air rumbled as a tall, well-built old man in Daoist robes charged into the grand hall.

A group of men and women followed shortly after. All of them had terrifying auras, and all of them were boiling over with murderous intent.

Even the weakest was in the Profound Illumination Realm, while the old man in Daoist robes was a late-stage Profound Serenity Emperor. His aura was monstrous and terrifying!

When they saw the carnage within the hall, these new arrivals immediately locked onto Su Yi and Ye Luo.

Terrifying murderous intent swept through the hall.

At the far end of the hall, Hong Shanfeng’s spirits soared. He cast aside all other concerns and shouted, “Quick, get them! Kill those criminals!”

But there was no need for his reminder. His reinforcements had immediately realized that this situation didn’t bode well, and they attacked without hesitation as soon as they arrived.

Boom!

All manner of dazzling, radiant treasures took to the skies, and all manner of wondrous abilities surged forth.

The power of a group of Levitating Sword Hall experts combined. The hall could no longer withstand it, and it collapsed with a bang, scattering into dust.

It really was a terrifying scene. Just about any Profound Serenity Emperor wouldn’t have dared clash with this group head-on. They would have been forced to seek refuge.

But Su Yi didn’t retreat. Instead, he moved for the first time since killing the thin old man.

He pressed his fingers into a sword and charged directly into the fray.

Clear light burst around Moonlit Shadow, and sword qi reminiscent of the surging river of stars descended.

Boom!

A heaven-shaking blast reverberated throughout the night sky, and divine light swept outward, illuminating the entire landscape. Even Heavenly Shepherd Mountain shook beneath their feet.

The full-force joint attack of the Levitating Sword Hall experts scattered in the face of that boundless sword qi, and they were forced back.

Even the old man in Daoist robes, the late-stage Profound Serenity Emperor, was visibly stunned. His blood and qi churned within him.

“This…”

“So strong!!”

“Is it even possible for a Profound Illumination Realm cultivator to be so powerful?”

Startled cries rang out. The experts of the Levitating Sword Hall were stunned as they realized how serious the problem was.

But they had no time to think, as Su Yi was already headed right for them.

He stepped into the air, clothing swaying around him as he swung Moonlit Shadow, firing off streak after streak of intercrossing sword qi. They were like beams of flowing light, as ethereal as the radiance of the moon.

From a distance, he seemed indescribably transcendent, like an immortal of the sword straight out of a legend. His sword intent shook the world.

Boom!

The sound of the Dao rumbled and boomed as a grand battle broke out. The entire area descended into turmoil.

Only then did the experts of the Levitating Sword Hall understand on a visceral level just how terrifying their opponent was.

Splurt! Splurt! Splurt!

One muffled explosion after another rang out. With every slash, Su Yi cut down an Emperor, crisp and to the point, like an axe through bamboo.

No matter their cultivation or what treasures and abilities they used, none of these Emperors could withstand even a single attack! Su Yi showed no mercy, not even when they knelt and begged. They could only watch helplessly as these prestigious, contemptuous Emperors fell like chives beneath a scythe.

In the end, fresh blood splattered the mountainside, and the smell of carnage filled the air, assailing the nostrils.

In just three snaps of the fingers, sixteen Profound Illumination Emperors, two mid-stage Profound Serenity Emperors, and a late-stage Profound Serenity Emperor had been wiped out!

Off in the distance, Hong Shanfeng stood there in a daze, as if he’d lost his soul.

Ye Luo watched, his calm expression never so much as shifting.

Throughout Heavenly Shepherd Mountain, countless people were frantic and alarmed. They gazed over from afar.

A downpour of blood fell from the heavens, and even ghosts and gods wept.

The death of so many Emperors had triggered a cosmological phenomena. A rain of blood poured from the heavens, and the wailing of ghosts rose, seemingly straight out of the depths of hell. It was particularly unsettling amidst the darkness.

It wasn’t that heaven and earth sympathized with the dead, but that when so many Emperors died at once, their powers of the Grand Dao crumbled and dispersed, mixing with their blood to create this strange phenomenon.

Had a Profound Unity Emperor fallen, heaven and earth would truly mourn their passing, and everyone in the Wilds would have seen these phenomena.

This was because Profound Unity Emperors’ mastery of the power of the Laws was at the peak of a given world. When they fell, it was as if the natural order had crumbled. This produced an enormous cosmological phenomenon known as the “Grief of Heaven and Earth.”

Su Yi paid this no heed.

Instead, he faced the distant Hong Shanfeng and walked over. Moonlit Shadow hummed in his grip, and beneath the moonlight, his tall, upright figure seemed even more transcendent and holy.

“Who… exactly are you?” Hong Shanfeng rasped.

“Didn’t you guess earlier? Why ask me that now? Su Yi said softly.

He thought back to his reincarnation. Before entering the cycle of rebirth, his consciousness stopped at the hall of mourning Qing Tang had built. He’d watched with his own eyes as Hong Shanfeng led the old-timers of the Levitating Sword Hall into the Grotto of Abstruse Force. He knew how unbridled they’d been.

Especially Hong Shanfeng, who’d gone so far as to shamelessly declare that Su Xuanjun owed their sect eight hundred and ninety-three lives, and that he’d stolen their greatest inheritance, the Ten Directions Sword Sutra. This “debt” was their justification for invading the Grotto of Abstruse Force!

How could Su Yi forget something like that?

“The S-Swordmaster… of Abstruse…. Force!?” Hong Shanfeng’s eyes bulged, and his will to fight completely broke down.

But then, he bellowed as if he’d gone mad. “Why not go kill Pi Mo? Why make trouble for the Levitating Sword Hall?”

Su Yi shook his head. “Don’t read too much into it. I just happened to be passing through."

“You just… happened to be passing through!?” Hong Shanfeng felt stifled, and everything went dark in front of him. He felt as if nothing could have been more absurd than this!

“We really are just passing through, but the Levitating Sword Hall deserves its misfortune,” Ye Luo said softly.

Hong Shanfeng trembled, then gave into despair. He shouted hysterically, “Pi Mo won’t let you off! He won’t!”

His opponent was having a mental breakdown, but Su Yi didn’t even look at him. Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his sword and came for Hong Shanfeng.

Splurt!

Nothing remained of Hong Shanfeng save for his last hysterical shout. A long time passed before it stopped echoing through the night skies.
