Blade Demon Luo Zhenhai?
Su Yi raised an eyebrow. This name had appeared once before when he was inviting new members to the Emperor Su Sect, but he had chosen the East Marsh Flood Dragon King instead.
This guy had even wanted to challenge Xia Tianyi; it was fortunate he hadn't recruited him into the sect, or the Emperor Su Sect would never have known peace.
Watching Luo Zhenhai approach with his blade, Su Yi knew he couldn't show cowardice in front of so many subordinates.
With that thought, Su Yi flipped his hand and drew the Zhouwu Sword.
Even if Luo Zhenhai's strength was unknown, he had to fight. If pushed to the brink, he would let Feng Long possess him.
The moment he saw the Zhouwu Sword, Luo Zhenhai's right hand trembled.
It wasn't fear; his blade was excited!
He could sense that the Zhouwu Sword was incredibly powerful, far from an ordinary weapon.
However, he felt no desire to possess it, for he only loved blades, not swords.
His own blade looked plain, but in reality, it was one of the world's most famous weapons.
Boom!
Luo Zhenhai suddenly stomped the ground, causing the surface to collapse and sand to swirl into a storm.
His figure shot upward like a cannonball, blotting out the sun as he slashed down at Su Yi.
In an instant, all the demons grew tense. They could feel Luo Zhenhai's aura—it was immense, like a sheep suddenly shedding its disguise to reveal a ferocious beast.
Blade Might!
Su Yi's pupils constricted. He stepped into the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps, soaring like a swallow as he swung his sword to meet the attack.
Clang—
Blade and sword collided, and Su Yi used his overwhelming, tyrannical strength to send Luo Zhenhai flying.
Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would struggle to possess strength like Su Yi's, let alone someone like Luo Zhenhai who specialized in the blade.
But Luo Zhenhai's cultivation realm was higher than Su Yi's, so he wasn't injured. He tumbled through the air, instantly reappearing below and slashing toward Su Yi.
At that moment, Su Yi was still in mid-air and unable to dodge, so he could only twist his body. The blade qi struck his chest, erupting in brilliant sparks.
The Black Flood Dragon King Robe activated!
It managed to deflect all of Luo Zhenhai's blade qi.
Luo Zhenhai narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "How is this kid covered in treasures?"
With that, he leaped up again. This time, he transformed into countless afterimages, hovering in the air and attacking Su Yi from every angle.
"Directly above!"
Feng Long suddenly shouted in Su Yi's mind. Su Yi's eyes sharpened, and he immediately lunged in the direction indicated.
Su Yi's physical strength was formidable, especially in his legs, which possessed explosive power. He thrust his sword toward Luo Zhenhai.
Luo Zhenhai was slightly stunned; how did Su Yi find him without even needing to judge the situation?
There was no time to think. He slashed down fiercely. The strike was heavy and powerful, and the blade in his hand glowed with black light as the blade qi transformed into black flames, surging toward Su Yi.
Su Yi instinctively tried to block with the Zhouwu Sword, but he couldn't hold it back.
He was driven into the ground by the black flame blade qi. The earth shook violently, scaring the demons into retreating, while Nan Xiaopao grew anxious, ready to intervene at any moment.
Su Yi flicked his right hand, and the Zhouwu Sword scattered the black flames. At that moment, Luo Zhenhai thrust his blade forward. This time, he aimed for Su Yi's face—the only part not protected by the Black Flood Dragon King Robe.
In the blink of an eye, Su Yi tilted his body, but his cheek was still sliced open by the blade qi, and blood splattered out.
As they brushed past each other, Su Yi caught a glimpse of the eyes beneath Luo Zhenhai's bamboo hat—contemptuous and cold.
Su Yi was instantly enraged.
"Feng Long! Take over!"
He roared in his heart. If he let this guy defeat him, how could his subordinates continue to trust him?
The prestige he had just established could not be destroyed!
"Very well!"
Feng Long replied. Immediately, wisps of blood-red energy emerged from the edge of the Zhouwu Sword, wrapping around Su Yi's body and forming a tall, blood-colored suit of armor.
Luo Zhenhai had just turned around, and seeing this, he froze.
The gathered demons were also stunned, as this was their first time seeing Su Yi in this state.
Nan Xiaopao was also taken aback; when Su Yi had first used Feng Long's power, she had still been in the process of awakening her Qiling Holy Body.
With Feng Long possessing him, Su Yi's aura underwent an instant transformation.
Without a word, Feng Long unleashed extreme speed once more, charging toward Luo Zhenhai.
How is this possible!
This speed!
In that split second, Luo Zhenhai felt as if he were looking at Xia Tianyi.
The reason Xia Tianyi is known as the Sword Saint is because his sword is fast—fast enough to break through all techniques in the world.
Puchi!
Luo Zhenhai's right arm was severed, blood spraying out from his shoulder like an arrow as the blade in his hand spun through the air and embedded itself into the dirt.
Su Yi stopped twenty meters behind Luo Zhenhai, holding the Zhouwu Sword level before slowly lowering it. The blood-red armor on his body dissipated, turning into blood qi that burrowed back into the Zhouwu Sword.
All the Demons and Monsters watched in stunned silence; how had their King reversed the situation in a single instant?
"You have lost."
Su Yi said softly, his back to Luo Zhenhai, making no further move.
It was agreed that they would stop at the point of contact!
Luo Zhenhai stood frozen in place, his gaze fixed on his blade in the distance, his figure radiating desolation.
He had been defeated before he even had the chance to challenge Xia Tianyi.
His pride was shattered.
"Let's go."
Su Yi spoke. Feng Long had only occupied his body for a moment and had not exhausted his strength, leaving him calm and composed, looking as though nothing had happened.
The crowd of demons followed excitedly, taking care to keep their distance from Luo Zhenhai; after all, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse, and they feared a desperate counterattack.
"I... lost..."
"Lost to an unknown Half-Demon..."
Luo Zhenhai muttered to himself, his body trembling slightly, his back hunched as if he had aged several years in an instant.
From this moment on, the Blade Demon had lost his right arm.
For a swordsman or a bladesman, the right arm is of paramount importance.
"Wait!"
Just as the last demon brushed past him, Luo Zhenhai suddenly spoke up.
Su Yi did not stop, but the demons felt their hearts tighten—could it be that this guy refused to accept the outcome?
They heard Luo Zhenhai ask, "What is your name?"
"Su Yi."
Su Yi replied, continuing his stride.
Nan Xiaopao came to Su Yi's side, staring at him with curiosity, her smiling eyes filled with affection.
With his back to all the demons, Luo Zhenhai repeated Su Yi's name over and over.
It was as if he wanted to etch this name into his heart, and then he walked toward his blade, finally pulling it from the ground with his left hand.
"Is my blade... wrong?"
Luo Zhenhai muttered to himself, his eyes quickly turning firm.
He intended to retrain his blade, using his left hand!
He would defeat Su Yi!
At this moment, Xia Tianyi was no longer his primary goal; Su Yi was!
Today's defeat made him deeply understand what it meant to have people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens.
"Hey, do you want to follow me? If you do, then catch up."
Just then, Su Yi's voice drifted over, calm and steady.
After all, he was a powerhouse; if he hadn't relied on Feng Long, Su Yi truly wouldn't have been able to beat him.
Although Luo Zhenhai was strong, he hadn't slaughtered the demons under his command, which meant this man held no hatred toward them.
Hearing this, Luo Zhenhai's figure shuddered, and he immediately turned to follow the main group.
This scene thrilled the demons, as they had all witnessed Luo Zhenhai's strength with their own eyes.
The Humanoid Demon experts, however, were extremely nervous.
Especially the Purple-Backed Bear King, who felt his status was in jeopardy.
"You've recruited another powerful fighter!"
Nan Xiaopao whispered beside Su Yi, her words filled with admiration.
She had witnessed Su Yi's growth and was genuinely happy for him from the bottom of her heart.
