The blood qi of the Zhouwu Sword gathered into a towering, two-zhang figure, like a blood-red demon general, its stance full of defiance. It slowly sank down and attached itself to Su Yi.
In an instant, Su Yi fused with the blood-red figure, as though he had donned a suit of armor.
The Blood Shadow's right hand closed around the Zhouwu Sword as well. Then blood qi surged along the blade and spilled out, stretching three zhang long.
Kuang Chu'e hurriedly stopped and stared, eyes wide. "What kind of demonic art is this?"
He could feel Su Yi's killing intent had multiplied; compared with before, he seemed like a completely different person.
"Brat, from here on, you're handing your body over to me. I'll help you slay the enemy!"
Feng Long snorted in Su Yi's mind, domineering and resolute. At that moment, Su Yi felt power coursing through his entire body.
The sensation was even more intense than the first time he'd slain a demon!
Even someone as powerful as Kuang Chu'e seemed utterly helpless in his eyes!
Be it a god or a Buddha in the heavens, one sword was all it took to cut them down!
Under Feng Long's control, Su Yi actually floated into the air.
"Old bald donkey, there are fewer people here, so I can fight without worry. I'll give you one more chance. If you don't retreat..."
"Die!"
Su Yi spoke coldly. Although he had handed his body over to Feng Long, he still had to do the talking himself.
The Four Elders of Great Wei, who had just arrived, and the reporters and soldiers in the helicopter all stared in stunned silence.
Su Yi's voice echoed above the streets, brimming with confidence. Through the cameras, it also reached the ears of everyone in the city.
So that was why!
He had fled to avoid harming the innocent!
At that moment, the people looked up to Su Yi with newfound respect, and their opinion of Kuang Chu'e sank even further.
The first time Kuang Chu'e had met Su Yi, he'd tried to force him to join the Western Buddha Dynasty. When Su Yi refused, Kuang Chu'e had tried to kill him!
Few people liked that kind of domineering behavior!
Now that they saw Su Yi overwhelm Kuang Chu'e with his presence, everyone was fired up.
Even the narrow-minded felt the same. After all, Su Yi, like them, had come from Earth's Huaxia—and he had even saved their lives. No matter how they looked at it, they were on Su Yi's side.
"Take him down!"
"What a sanctimonious hypocrite! He's nothing like the monks back in Huaxia!"
"Damn it! Once I cultivate to immortality, I'll avenge Su Yi!"
"Su Yi looks so cool like this!"
The people across the city prayed for Su Yi, hoping he could defeat Kuang Chu'e.
Enraged by Su Yi's words, Kuang Chu'e knew that slaying demons and exorcising evil was the righteous path of the Human Race. For this Half-Demon to spout such outrageous words was a blatant insult to the Western Buddha Dynasty—and to the righteous path!
He raised his right hand. Spiritual power poured from his palm, condensing into a huge golden wheel that spun at high speed, tearing through the air with an ear-piercing shriek.
His gaze fixed on Su Yi. "Demon! You refuse to see reason. Today, I shall act in Heaven's stead!"
Act in Heaven's stead?
Su Yi laughed in disbelief and was about to shoot back, but his body surged forward against his will.
"Why waste words with a man already as good as dead?"
Feng Long spoke domineeringly in his mind. In its eyes, Kuang Chu'e was already a dead man.
Su Yi was more than twice as fast as before. Kuang Chu'e's right hand hadn't even come down when Su Yi thrust his sword.
To the onlookers, Su Yi became a streak of blood-red light, sweeping across the city sky. The fifty meters between them vanished as if he'd teleported.
Kuang Chu'e didn't even have time to react before the Zhouwu Sword pierced his chest, spraying blood everywhere.
The Four Elders of Great Wei gaped in disbelief.
Wu Qingyao, Mo Haosheng, and the others, who had just arrived, stared with wide eyes too.
Su Yi had been on the back foot moments ago, yet now he had gravely wounded the Great Buddha in an instant?
"This aura... Why does it feel as though he's become someone else?" the goateed cultivator cried, as if he'd seen a ghost.
While they were still reeling, the whole of Xiwan City erupted in cheers.
Su Yi was still the strongest!
"You... How is this possible..." Kuang Chu'e stammered, his eyes stretched wide with terror.
Su Yi's expression was icy. Clad in the blood-red armor, he looked utterly arrogant.
So what if Kuang Chu'e was the Great Buddha of the Western Buddha Dynasty?
He was still going to die beneath Su Yi's sword!
Just then, Su Yi wrenched out his sword. Blood scattered across the sky like crimson petals drifting down.
Kuang Chu'e's eyes suddenly narrowed. His right hand swept down, sending the golden wheel spinning toward Su Yi in an attempt to slice off his head.
Shhk—
A flash of sword light appeared, and the golden wheel was cleaved apart!
Sword Qi slammed into Kuang Chu'e head-on, instantly staining his face red with blood. He couldn't help throwing back his head and howling.
Su Yi followed with a stomp, planting his foot on him.
How terrifying was that stomp!
Su Yi already possessed the strength of one hundred and twenty dragons. Amplified by the power of Feng Long's Sword Soul, he could shatter mountains and cleave rivers!
Kuang Chu'e's powerful body burst beneath Su Yi's foot, frightening many people into screaming and squeezing their eyes shut.
The Great Buddha had fallen!
The Half-Demon's might was fearsome beyond compare!
Mo Haosheng dropped to his knees in the ruins, trembling all over, his eyes filled with terror.
With power like this, if Su Yi wanted to kill him, no one in the entire Luoshui Sect could save him!
Just then, a streak of golden light flew out of the blood mist. As it drew closer, they saw that inside the light was a baby about the size of a fist, its face very much like Kuang Chu'e's.
It was Kuang Chu'e's Nascent Soul!
Above the Fusion Heart-Stirring stage lay the formation of a Nascent Soul—the stage commonly known as a Nascent Soul Cultivator!
Every Nascent Soul Cultivator had the right to found a sect. Even those who joined one of the Seven Dynasties would receive preferential treatment.
Kuang Chu'e's Nascent Soul flew incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it had reached the horizon and disappeared.
"Your body isn't strong enough. Otherwise, I could've caught him."
Feng Long's voice rang in Su Yi's mind. Then the blood-red armor dissipated, turning into wisps of blood qi that burrowed into the Zhouwu Sword.
Su Yi felt all strength leave his body, and he plummeted.
He was dozens of meters in the air. His face turned pale with fright, and he crashed down in a sorry heap, shattering the ground and leaving behind a human-shaped crater.
Luckily, his body was strong. Otherwise, he would've been smashed into a pulp.
Even so, he felt as if several bones had broken.
"Feng Long... I hope your parents are doing well!"
Su Yi cursed inwardly. He lay sprawled in the crater as blood bubbled from his mouth. At that moment, even moving his throat felt difficult.
"Sorry, I'm a Sword Soul. I don't have parents."
"..."
Just as Su Yi was suffering miserably, Xiwan City erupted in thunderous cheers.
Su Yi had once again shown himself to be powerful and invincible, inspiring even greater awe among the citizens of Xiwan City.
With a powerhouse like him protecting them, Xiwan City would be safer!
Su Yi had also proved to them that Earthlings could be powerful too!
"That's amazing! He's like Superman!"
"What was that golden light just now?"
"Haha, we Earthlings are still awesome!"
"Beautifully done! That was so satisfying!"
"Alas, when will I ever gain power as great as Su Yi's?"
The people of the whole city excitedly discussed Su Yi's performance, unaware that he was suffering terribly at that very moment.
He struggled to stand, his body trembling nonstop.
With his strength, he shouldn't have fallen so badly. But Feng Long had squandered all his strength and demonic power earlier, leaving his body utterly exhausted by the time he hit the ground. That was why he'd been so badly injured.
Midnight Bomb! Any salted fish around?
