Sword Pierces the Firmament

Not acquainted?

Then how else do you want to get acquainted?

Nan Xiaopao's jealousy instantly boiled over, but in this critical moment, she couldn't press the issue. She could only pout while running, looking quite comical.

Soon, the two arrived at the foot of the skyscraper. Su Yi scooped up Nan Xiaopao, stepped onto the building's wall, and ascended with the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps, moving as if walking on flat ground.

The hundred-meter-tall building was scaled in less than five seconds, bringing them to the rooftop.

From here, they could clearly see the tragic state of the entire city, as well as the arrogant and untamed figure of the Bat Queen.

"Why did we come here?"

Nan Xiaopao asked. She was still very nervous; after all, Su Yi was about to fight again.

She still couldn't forget the miserable state Su Yi was in during his last battle against the Black Scale King.

Su Yi said softly, "Don't be afraid, close your eyes."

"Close my eyes? Why?"

Nan Xiaopao asked in confusion, but she still obediently closed them.

She had always been compliant and infinitely trusting when it came to Su Yi.

"Don't open them until I tell you to."

Su Yi instructed, and Nan Xiaopao nodded.

Immediately, Su Yi looked up at the Bat Queen, his gaze full of playfulness, with a hidden intent to kill!

The Bat Queen also sensed his killing intent and instinctively turned to look.

"A Half-Demon... his blood energy is quite strong. Could he be the Half-Demon who slew the Black Scale King and forced back Kuang Chu'e?"

The Bat Queen narrowed her eyes, muttering to herself. Her gaze suddenly locked onto Nan Xiaopao, and her eyes turned sharp in an instant.

At the same time, Su Yi commanded in his heart: "Use Divine Shadow Legion!"

Following that, black shadows emerged from the ground at his feet. There were six in total: the shadows of Wu Qingyao, Old Lord Qiyang, Qingyan Devil Lord, Black Tiger Emperor, Xia Tianyi, and Demon Wolf Star. They were all silent, like ghosts.

Among them, the Black Tiger Emperor stood three zhang tall with an imposing figure. The Qingyan Devil Lord was unremarkable, similar in build to the Demon Wolf Star, while Xia Tianyi was easy to identify with the two swords at his waist.

Strangely enough, as Su Yi scanned them, he could identify their identities at a single glance.

Perhaps under the influence of the Great Dao Phone, he could feel a mental connection with the Divine Shadow Legion, allowing him to control them with just a thought.

This feeling...

It couldn't be more satisfying!

He looked at the Bat Queen again, the killing intent in his eyes becoming even more pronounced.

The Bat Queen also noticed the six shadows beside him, but she didn't pay them any mind. Since these shadows lacked aura, she assumed they were merely low-level spells.

"Could she be the Qiling Holy Lotus?"

The Bat Queen thought to herself. Having lived for thousands of years, she had once been fortunate enough to witness the previous generation of the Qiling Holy Body, and the aura was very similar to Nan Xiaopao's.

On the other side, the citizens of the entire city began a mass exodus, and those near the city limits ran straight out of the city.

Xiwan City, which had finally regained stability, lost all order once again, just as it had when they first arrived in this world.

"Run!"

"Save me! Someone, save me!"

"There are monsters outside, don't go out!"

"Staying here means certain death! Everyone, run with me! If there are enough of us, we can defend against the monsters together!"

"There are more monsters in the city than outside, are you stupid?"

Cries, curses, and screams filled Xiwan City, making the dim world even more terrifying.

The moment the Demon Army charged down, Xiwan City was shattered, and the hearts of the people were scattered.

In the distance, Tan Quanming, under the escort of Zhang Yicheng, also boarded a helicopter.

They were preparing to flee as well.

"Sigh, I still couldn't protect Xiwan City."

Tan Quanming sighed gloomily as the helicopter took off.

At this moment, the Bat Queen stared at Nan Xiaopao and sneered, "Qiling Holy Body? Submit to me, and I will help you become stronger!"

Hearing this, Nan Xiaopao, who had her eyes closed, neither opened them nor replied.

Su Yi scoffed, "You little demon, you dare to try and recruit my woman?"

Little demon!

The Bat Queen's eyes narrowed instantly. She waved her right hand, and her demon power transformed into countless bats, screeching as they charged toward Su Yi and his companion.

The corners of Su Yi's mouth curled into a look of contempt and disdain.

Immediately after, the shadow of Xia Tianyi behind him suddenly moved.

He leaped into the air, soundless and windless, moving as fast as a thunderbolt, causing the pupils of Bat Queen to shrink.

Bat Queen flipped her hand to produce a black scythe and slashed down in a rage.

Before the Divine Shadow of Xia Tianyi could even reach her, he swung his sword, the sword qi turning the entire world as bright as day.

"How is this possible..."

Bat Queen widened her eyes, and before she could react, the sword qi pierced through her body, slicing her in two!

Following that, the sword qi soared upward, splitting the rolling thunderclouds and carving out a hundred-meter-long rift, allowing the sunlight to pour down like the first rays after a storm.

Demon Wolf Star, who was sprinting through the city, happened to witness this scene; he gaped in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

Even Wu Qingyao, Mo Haosheng, and the other disciples of Luoshui Sect were startled.

A single sword strike to slay Bat Queen?

Who was that?

On the other side, atop a skyscraper.

Su Yi clenched his fists; Xia Tianyi had not lied to him!

When he said it would take two strikes at most last time, he really wasn't bragging!

Immediately, he ordered the other Divine Shadows to begin slaughtering all the Demons and Monsters within Xiwan City, and with a thought, the Divine Shadow Legion vanished behind him.

At the same time, high in the sky, the Divine Shadow of Xia Tianyi struck again, thousands of sword qi strands intertwining to strike, reducing the physical body and Nascent Soul of Bat Queen to dust, leaving only a single Demon Core to fall.

This Demon Core was only left behind because Su Yi had specifically ordered it; otherwise, even the Demon Core would have been reduced to ashes.

Su Yi immediately leaped into the air and caught the Demon Core.

This scene was witnessed by Wu Qingyao, Mo Haosheng, and the others, and they all gasped in unison.

Could it be that the mysterious black shadow was sent by Su Yi?

"Could it be that Emperor Su is providing support from the shadows?"

Wu Qingyao frowned as she thought this; that was Bat Queen, yet she had been killed in an instant?

Outside the city, the Four Elders of Great Wei also witnessed Bat Queen being slain and saw Su Yi leap up to seize the Demon Core.

They looked at each other, feeling no embarrassment at being proven wrong, but rather filled with excitement.

With a Su Yi like this, they had earned a favor!

If Great Wei ever faced the danger of national collapse in the future, they could ask Su Yi to turn the tide!

"This boy is extraordinary."

"I have a feeling he will become a titan of the Demon Race!"

"More than that, he has too many trump cards he hasn't revealed; perhaps he comes from some massive power."

"It is fortunate we did not try to force him to stay back then."

The Four Elders of Great Wei sighed repeatedly, their emotions stirred and difficult to suppress.

Meanwhile, the Divine Shadow Legion began a massive slaughter of the Demons and Monsters.

The Divine Shadow of Qingyan Devil Lord was incredibly domineering; every time it appeared, the Demons and Monsters within a hundred-meter radius would die miserably at the same moment.

The Divine Shadow of Black Tiger Emperor was also very powerful, relying on his fists and feet to tear the Demons and Monsters apart.

The Divine Shadow of Demon Wolf Star was extremely fast, moving like a ghost.

Soon, it encountered the real Demon Wolf Star.

"Damn! Isn't that my shadow?"

Demon Wolf Star said in astonishment; this shadow had a figure identical to his own and was even stepping with the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps, which he recognized at a glance.

Unfortunately, the Divine Shadow ignored him and brushed past him; he hurriedly followed, only to discover that the Divine Shadow was actually slaughtering the Demons and Monsters.
