Instantly Killing Zou Lintian

One stone stirs up a thousand ripples, and the news of Su Yu's spar with Zou Lintian spread like wildfire throughout the Outer Sect.

By the time the two arrived at the martial arts arena, it was already surrounded by disciples eager to watch the spectacle.

Although Su Yu was a newly admitted disciple and largely unknown, Zou Lintian, having been in the sect for over two years, was somewhat renowned in the Outer Sect.

He wasn't among the top ten, but he wasn't far off.

"I missed Senior Brother Zou teaching that newcomer Lin Tian a lesson last time. Finally, I get to see it!" a sharp-faced disciple said, rubbing his hands excitedly.

A round-faced disciple beside him scoffed, "What's so great about it? Isn't it just an old disciple crushing a new one?"

"I heard that Lin Tian is still bedridden," someone added in a low voice.

Discussions buzzed around the arena. Some showed a hint of sympathy, "Senior Brother Zou always picks on new disciples. Isn't that a bit like bullying the weak?"

An old disciple in blue robes sneered.

"These newcomers don't know their place. Someone needs to teach them the rules!"

"This Su Yu is quite handsome, but it's a shame he'll be bruised and swollen soon," someone lamented.

Suddenly, a commotion arose from the crowd.

"Look! Aren't those Senior Brothers Wang Long and Zhao Jun?"

All eyes turned sharply to the right side of the arena.

Two youths with extraordinary bearing stood with their hands behind their backs. They were Wang Long, ranked ninth in the Outer Sect, and Zhao Jun, ranked tenth.

Zhao Jun fiddled with the jade fan in his hand and said nonchalantly, "Senior Brother Wang, how many moves do you think Zou Lintian will need to finish off this Su Yu?"

Wang Long narrowed his eyes as he surveyed the scene in the arena. "The last one, Lin Tian, lasted eight moves. This one looks a bit stronger... ten moves, perhaps."

Zhao Jun let out a contemptuous laugh.

"Zou Lintian really lowers the standard for us old disciples. If it were us, one move would be enough."

On the other side of the arena, two young girls were also conversing in low voices.

The younger girl, about fourteen, had a delicate appearance with a pair of bright, lively almond-shaped eyes. "Sister Yunxi, who do you think will win this match?"

The girl addressed as Yunxi, around fifteen or sixteen, was clad in snow-white robes. Her exquisite features were like carved ice, and her cool demeanor commanded respect.

Her gaze fell upon the handsome, composed young man in the arena. She said softly, "Xuan'er, I think... it might be Su Yu."

"Really?"

Ye Xuan's eyes widened in surprise and delight.

"That's great! It's about time those arrogant old disciples learned how capable we newcomers are!"

Although Yunxi had joined the sect a year ago, she had always disdained associating with the overbearing old disciples, preferring instead to interact with the newer disciples.

Su Yu remained oblivious to the surrounding chatter, quietly considering which martial skill to use for the fight.

Lone Peak Sword Art, his strongest trump card, was too early to reveal.

Thunderclap Fist had only just reached Lesser Accomplishment. Facing Zou Lintian, who could defeat Lin Tian in ten moves, it would be difficult to win.

After much thought, the Wind-Swept Flowing Cloud Sword Art seemed the most suitable.

"Newcomers really don't know their limits!" Zou Lintian stood opposite him, his face filled with mockery.

"The last one is still in bed. Coming to die again so soon?"

Su Yu's expression was calm. "Perhaps the next one to end up in bed will be you."

"You're seeking death!" Zou Lintian roared in anger, and the surrounding disciples gasped.

How dare this newcomer provoke him like this!

Zou Lintian lunged forward, his fist whistling through the air.

He could already picture Su Yu's bones breaking, but the opponent merely flicked his body lightly to the left. The lightning-fast strike missed its target!

Su Yu had not deliberately practiced the Fleeting Light Shadow, a Human-grade High-tier movement technique, but with his extraordinary comprehension, he had already reached Lesser Accomplishment half a month ago.

Now, when he performed it, his speed was more than double what it was at the initial stage.

Before Zou Lintian could recover, Su Yu attacked.

Combining Fleeting Light Shadow with the Wind-Swept Flowing Cloud Sword Art, his movements were as elusive as a phantom.

"Cloud Scatter!"

With a soft cry, his sword light streaked like a meteor. Zou Lintian felt a sharp pain in his chest and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily outside the arena. He couldn't get up for a moment.

He stared at Su Yu in terror, as if looking at a monster.

Su Yu's understanding of the Wind-Swept Flowing Cloud Sword had reached the pinnacle of perfection. Especially the final move, tempered through countless repetitions, had reached a realm where the sword intent formed naturally with a single thought.

In his hands, this move required almost no preparation. The sword light flashed, scattering like dissipating clouds, so fast that it was impossible to defend against.

The entire arena fell silent. Everyone was stunned by the unexpected outcome—a newcomer had defeated an old disciple in a single move!

Wang Long and Zhao Jun exchanged glances, their faces extremely grim.

Although Zou Lintian was no match for them, it would still take them dozens of moves to win.

This Su Yu can kill Zou Lintian in one move, doesn't that mean he can also easily defeat them?

Su Yu is too powerful!

Ye Xuan excitedly tugged on Yunxi's sleeve.

A hint of surprise flashed in the white-clothed girl's eyes.

With her eyesight, she could naturally see that Su Yu was handling it with ease, likely not even using fifty percent of his strength.

Su Yu ignored the shock around him and walked straight towards Su Yan and his sister.

Unlike the others, this brother and sister only showed well-deserved admiration on their faces.

"Brother Yu is mighty!" Su Yan exclaimed, his face flushed with excitement.

Although Su Mei didn't speak, her sparkling eyes said it all.

Su Yu patted their shoulders and said gently, "Cultivate diligently, and you can achieve it too."

With that, the three turned and left, leaving behind a stunned audience who hadn't recovered, and Zou Lintian, who was still slumped on the ground, looking utterly dejected.
