Silence!
The people who had been running away also stopped. Together with Nan Xiaopao, they stared blankly at Su Yi's back.
At that moment, Su Yi's somewhat lean back gave them the reassuring feeling that Mount Tai would never fall, as though there was nothing he could not withstand!
"Pant... pant—"
Su Yi gasped for breath. That sword strike had left him feeling as if every shred of strength had been drained from his body.
The people behind him finally came to their senses and erupted into cries of surprise.
"Holy crap! That was amazing!"
"Who is he? That sword strike was so cool!"
"Were my eyes playing tricks on me just now?"
"Is that for real? Does this kid know kung fu?"
"Kung fu? He must be a Demon Exorcist!"
The students and teachers were all exclaiming in amazement. Some students on the sports field had also witnessed what had happened. That green Sword Qi, seemingly straight out of special effects, made their hearts race.
Humans were always curious about supernatural things.
Nan Xiaopao hurried to Su Yi's side and supported him, asking worriedly, "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine. Hurry and help me somewhere safe where there aren't any people."
Su Yi said with a low, bitter laugh. He currently felt weak all over. If someone wanted to steal his Zhouwu Sword, he might not even be able to resist.
Coming to Desolate Ancient was like entering the apocalypse. One had to guard against the human heart!
Su Yi had entered society early and seen far too much deceit and treachery. He understood this point deeply.
Nan Xiaopao understood at once and promptly helped him leave.
Although those students and teachers were curious about Su Yi, none of them followed. They were still wondering where that giant python had come from.
Very soon, the teachers began gathering the students. They had also noticed the towering forest around them and intended to investigate in groups, unaware that this was a suicidal act.
Elsewhere.
Nan Xiaopao helped Su Yi into her dormitory. This was also Su Yi's first time entering a girls' dormitory, but his heart was filled with anxiety, and he had no mind to care about such things.
"None of your roommates are here?" Su Yi asked curiously.
"We didn't have classes today. They all went shopping."
Nan Xiaopao answered, her beautiful eyes fixed on Su Yi. There was no curiosity or confusion in them, only deep concern.
In truth, Su Yi had long noticed that she had feelings for him in that regard, but he did not dare accept them. He knew his own circumstances and felt that he was not worthy of Nan Xiaopao.
Though Nan Xiaopao was not the daughter of a wealthy family, her own qualities were excellent, and her family was fairly well-off. Countless people pursued her. If she followed Su Yi, she would very likely suffer hardship in the future. That was also one reason Su Yi worked so hard at part-time jobs.
When they reached the third floor, Nan Xiaopao helped Su Yi onto a bed in the dormitory, then locked the door behind them.
Girls' clothes were scattered everywhere in the dormitory, making his face flush slightly.
Seeing his expression, Nan Xiaopao could not help covering her mouth and laughing. "I'm going to change clothes."
With that, she picked up a set of clothes from her bed and walked into the balcony bathroom, gently closing the door.
This girl...
Su Yi shook his head with a smile and quickly took out his phone, preparing to ask some questions.
Though the Zhouwu Sword was powerful, its consumption was too great. Using it was simply too risky.
When he opened his phone, the screen was still on the Emperor Su Sect chat interface. He could not switch away from it, nor could he even make a call.
Emperor Su: What will happen if a mortal uses the Zhouwu Sword?
Black Tiger Emperor: Huh? Emperor Su? Senior, why would you ask that? A mortal using the Zhouwu Sword would definitely die!
Qingyan Devil Lord: The Zhouwu Sword is an Immortal Sword. How could a mortal possibly wield it?
At the sight of this, cold sweat poured down Su Yi's back, and he cursed inwardly at this damn trap.
Because of that question, Black Tiger Emperor and Qingyan Devil Lord had begun to doubt Emperor Su's identity, frightening Su Yi into hurriedly changing the subject.
Emperor Su: Qingyan Devil Lord, Wu Qingyao, it is time for you to hand over resources. Otherwise, this Emperor will expel you from the Emperor Su Sect!
Qingyan Devil Lord: We can be expelled too?
Black Tiger Emperor: Hahaha, Senior Emperor Su possesses boundless abilities. Why not hand over something? It is better than missing a stroke of fortune.
Wu Qingyao: I have an Exquisite Dharma Robe here. I offer it to Emperor Su Sect.
As soon as those words appeared, a silver lotus dress appeared in Su Yi's hands. It was adorned with countless silver pieces, dazzling beyond compare. It felt icy cold against his palm.
But...
Making him wear a dress...
A chill immediately ran through Su Yi. He silently thought, Store it in the Dao Vault, and the Exquisite Dharma Robe vanished from his hands.
The Dao Vault was an independent space inside his phone that could store many things. He only needed to will something into it.
He then stored the Zhouwu Sword inside as well. With another thought, the Zhouwu Sword instantly appeared in his hand. The speed at which it could be stored and retrieved was astonishingly fast, secretly delighting him.
Then, he picked up his phone again.
At that moment, Black Tiger Emperor was doing everything he could to urge Qingyan Devil Lord to hand over a treasure and remain in the Emperor Su Sect.
Black Tiger Emperor: Devil Lord, this is an opportunity. Even if Senior is deceiving us, we will not lose much. But if it is real, we will regret it for the rest of our lives!
Qingyan Devil Lord: ...
Black Tiger Emperor: Think about it. Have you ever seen such a mighty expert, one who can connect all of us together? At any rate, I have never heard of one.
Wu Qingyao: Let that devil leave. Staying with him makes me sick.
Qingyan Devil Lord: Hmph! This lord insists on staying! I have ten bottles of Dragon Strength Pills here. Each bottle contains ten Dragon Strength Pills. Taking one grants the strength of one dragon!
The moment he finished speaking, ten small white jade bottles appeared in Su Yi's hands.
Su Yi opened one of them. Inside were ten golden pills, each the size of a thumbnail.
"The strength of one dragon..."
Su Yi was thrilled. In Huaxia, dragons were supreme divine beasts. There was no need to say more about their power.
Meanwhile, within the Emperor Su Sect.
Black Tiger Emperor: One hundred Dragon Strength Pills? Wow, how generous! Then I'll donate my cultivation technique too. This is my treasured secret weapon. Everything I have achieved today is thanks to it!
Qingyan Devil Lord: What a braggart. You make it sound as if you're that strong.
As soon as Black Tiger Emperor finished speaking, an ancient book appeared in Su Yi's left hand. Its cover was ragged and worn, bearing four mysterious characters that he could not understand.
"What is this?"
Su Yi was curious. He stared closely at the four characters, and their meaning suddenly surfaced in his mind.
Demon Emperor Divine Technique!
What kind of lame name was that? Could it get any more cringeworthy?
Su Yi mocked it inwardly, while also wondering why he could understand such writing.
Could it be because of his phone?
With that thought, he first stored the Dragon Strength Pills in the Dao Vault, then began leafing through the Demon Emperor Divine Technique. The words inside remained strange and profound, yet the instant his gaze touched them, he could somehow understand them. The feeling was incomparably miraculous.
After a while, Su Yi swiftly memorized the cultivation method of the Demon Emperor Divine Technique.
This was a cultivation method of the Demon Race. It absorbed the essence of the sun and moon to temper the physical body, and it was divided into five levels!
First level, Demon Qi Manifestation!
Second level, Demon Core Condensation!
Third level, Demon Emperor Qi!
Fourth level, Devour Demon and Consume Devil!
Fifth level, Sanctification of the Physical Body!
It sounded pretty awesome!
I actually memorized it. Could I be a cultivation genius?
Su Yi could barely contain his excitement. Normally, memorizing textbook material gave him splitting headaches, yet when it came to a cultivation technique, he had a photographic memory.
