A sword technique descending from the heavens?

Zhang Manting rolled her eyes, ignoring the joke, and kept her eyes glued to the phone screen.

At this moment, the entire city held its breath, waiting to see what earth-shattering move Su Yi would make next.

This height!

This posture!

It was clearly the rhythm of someone about to unleash a major ultimate move!

The souls of many young people began to burn with adolescent fervor, their blood boiling!

Yet, contrary to expectations, Su Yi dove down with his sword and plunged into the army of Demons and Monsters, but no dazzling battle ensued.

This scene caused the expressions of those young people to freeze instantly, their mouths twitching.

If there was no ultimate move, why jump so high?

Although they complained in their hearts, they still admired Su Yi deeply; only in times of crisis could a hero step forward.

Su Yi was that hero!

This battle determined the life and death of Xiwan City, and everyone hoped that Su Yi would win.

Boom!

Su Yi rampaged through the army of Demons and Monsters, killing back and forth. His white shirt was torn in several places, and the blood of the beasts splattered onto him, making his expression grow even colder.

A single man rampaging through an army of hundreds of thousands of Demons and Monsters, invincible and unrivaled—what a spectacular sight.

"Go for it!"

"Su Yi will win!"

"Kill them all!"

"Hold on!"

The soldiers at the edge of the city began to shout, their voices hoarse as they cheered for Su Yi, wanting him to know that he was not fighting alone. If he died, the soldiers would also face death, accompanying him on the road to the afterlife.

Every one of their voices was full of vigor, converging into a loud roar. Since they were not far from the tablet broadcasting the live stream, their voices sounded like background music.

Many women in Xiwan City could not help but tear up.

Perhaps on Earth, they did not know each other and everyone was busy with their own lives, but now, the whole city was of one mind, worried for Su Yi, and an unprecedented sense of cohesion emerged.

In an instant, more and more hot-blooded men took their phones and walked out of their homes, gathering toward the north of the city.

It wasn't just men; many women joined them as well.

Facing an army of hundreds of thousands of Demons and Monsters, the power of mortals might be insignificant, but the will of mortals is sometimes stronger than an army of hundreds of thousands of beasts.

"He, Su Yi, a young man, is fighting for our entire city, and what are we doing? We are cowering here!"

"Are we even human?"

A man stood on the street, shouting angrily into a megaphone, attracting many people to come out of their buildings.

"Anyone with guts, come with me to the north of the city to provide support! Even if we die, we cannot die so cowardly!"

His voice was highly inflammatory, leading many to join in the shouting.

This was just a microcosm; such scenes were playing out in every corner of the city.

This was not their first encounter with Demons and Monsters; everyone hated them. When Xiwan City first crossed over, how many people died?

Most of those who survived today had friends or family members who had died tragically in the mouths of these monsters.

Su Yi's performance greatly stimulated them.

On the other side, Su Yi was still in the midst of battle.

His understanding of the Immortal Slashing Heart Sword was becoming more profound; every time he swung his sword, a faint air wave was unleashed.

The prototype of sword qi!

In just over ten days, Su Yi had managed to cultivate sword qi from being a novice in the sword path; he was definitely a genius of the sword!

In the distance, Old Lord Qiyang watched in awe. It was no wonder Emperor Su had taken an interest in him, given such talent.

The Black Scale King did not know that Su Yi had only been practicing for ten days, so he felt no surprise, merely watching the half-demon with a playful gaze.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Su Yi leaped through the battlefield. Every time he landed, it was like a thunderclap, sending all the Demons and Monsters within a ten-meter radius flying. He swung his sword, and the sword qi swept across, hacking those beasts into minced meat!

His sword qi was becoming more solid!

Honing combat skills in battle while also comprehending sword qi—this battle was, as Su Yi had previously thought, a bountiful harvest.

The reason he joined the battle was twofold: first for Xiwan City, and second to hone himself.

Although he possessed the Hundred Dragon Strength, his combat experience was too sparse, and he had never experienced a life-or-death crisis, which was why he wanted to face the army of hundreds of thousands of Demons and Monsters alone.

It had to be said that his combat talent was truly outstanding!

Even he himself felt surprised!

Could it be the influence of the Great Dao Phone?

"This guy..."

Black Scale King narrowed his eyes; he could also see Su Yi's talent.

He could not wait any longer!

If things continued like this, Su Yi would surely slaughter his hundreds of thousands of troops.

Black Scale King immediately leaped into the air, his sleeves bursting open as black scales crawled over his arms, looking hideous and terrifying!

He swiped a claw toward Su Yi. At this moment, Su Yi was being entangled by dozens of jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards. Although he was still in a state of semi-enlightenment, his senses were incredibly sharp, and he reacted quickly, jumping to dodge.

With a boom!

Black Scale King swiped his claw and killed a Yellow Ox Demon that was blocking his way, flesh and blood splattering across the ruins. His eyes turned ruthless as he pursued Su Yi.

His leap just now was captured by the live broadcast camera, causing an uproar throughout the city.

Black Scale King had joined the battle personally!

Su Yi's crisis had escalated sharply!

"It's over... can Su Yi defeat Black Scale King?"

"Is that Black Scale King? His aura is so strong!"

"Damn it, seeing Su Yi being surrounded makes my heart ache."

"Sigh, we can't help him."

"Who says we can't? Everyone, follow me to the north of the city!"

Seeing Black Scale King join the battle, the people in the city became even more nervous, and immediately, more people headed toward the north of the city.

Of course, compared to the entire Xiwan City, these people were not many.

There were more people who feared death, for that was human nature.

Nan Xiaopao could not help but run out as well; she wanted to go to the north of the city and could not let Su Yi fight alone.

Zhang Manting and her family could not hold her back at all; after all, she possessed the strength of a dragon.

After Nan Xiaopao left, they had no choice but to pick up their phones and continue watching the battle.

As for accompanying Nan Xiaopao, that was impossible.

Unless they had a death wish.

Clang—

Su Yi slashed his sword onto Black Scale King's right arm, sparks flying everywhere. Pieces of black scales were sliced off, shocking Black Scale King so much that his pupils constricted and he quickly sprang away.

The Zhouwu Sword was one of the Seven Great Immortal Swords; it was definitely not something his scales could compare to.

"That sword..."

Black Scale King stared fixedly at the Zhouwu Sword in Su Yi's hand, greed rising in his heart.

If he had known this was the Zhouwu Sword, he certainly would not have dared to covet it.

The Seven Great Immortal Swords were existences that shook the past and present. Even the Black Tiger Emperor, upon obtaining one, felt it was a hot potato and hurriedly gave it away.

Some treasures were so powerful that people dared not keep them.

The corpses of demon beasts piled up into a mountain. Su Yi stood proudly on the summit, pointing his sword at Black Scale King, and said, "Retreat, or do you not?"

This scene was captured perfectly by the live broadcast camera, and coupled with Su Yi's resonant voice, it made countless people's blood boil.

This kind of spirit was simply superhuman!

"This lad can be called a hero of this age!"

Mayor Tan Quanming sighed, and the bodyguards beside him nodded subconsciously, their faces full of shock.

Tens of thousands of demon beast corpses were piled up in front, and Su Yi stood atop the mountain of corpses. What a spectacular sight this was.

It was not just them; the soldiers behind were equally unable to contain their excitement.

Su Yi was far more powerful than they had imagined!
