With a buzzing sound, the Heavenly Sword Mystic Light Formation completely closed.
A curtain of light, formed by countless sharp Sword Qi, resembled an inverted giant glass bowl, enveloping the entire mountain range.
The moonlight was blocked out, and the eerie white light emitted by the light curtain itself illuminated the inside and outside of the mountain gate as bright as day.
All the disciples, deacons, and elders of the Mystic Sword Sect were alarmed at this moment.
Countless figures emerged from caves and palaces, staring in horror at the sky.
The mountain-protecting formation is the sect's last line of defense and should never be activated unless it is a matter of life and death.
What kind of formidable enemy could have driven our sect to this point?
Behind Mystic Sword Peak lies a secluded cultivation chamber with the richest Spiritual Qi.
The stone gate exploded open with a deafening roar.
A middle-aged man dressed in a golden sword robe, with a dignified face, stepped out. His eyebrows were like swords, and his aura was as deep as an abyss.
Chu Tianhe, the sect leader of the Mystic Sword Sect.
He looked up, and his divine sense, at the Earth Realm Third Layer, swept across the entire area in an instant, finally settling on the solitary figure above the mountain gate.
An overwhelming pressure, far exceeding his own, like an invisible mountain, made him catch his breath.
Chu Tianhe's expression changed drastically. Without any hesitation, he transformed into a golden streak of light and sped towards the mountain gate.
At the same time, beneath the great array's light barrier, seven or eight more powerful elders soared into the sky.
They were the core members of the Mystic Sword Sect, usually in seclusion for arduous cultivation. Now, awakened by the alarm, they were all filled with murderous intent.
"Form the Seven Stars Sword Formation!"
"Whoever he is, anyone who joins my Mystic Sword Sect will surely die!"
The leader, a ninth- Mystic Realm Ninth Level elder, shouted loudly, and the others quickly dispersed. Their Sword Qi energy intertwined, and in an instant, they set up a killing sword formation in the air. Seven sword lights pointed at Su Yu, and their energy locked onto him instantly.
However, faced with this sword formation that was powerful enough to kill Earth Realm First Level expert, Su Yu didn't even bother to glance at it.
He simply raised his right hand, pointing it towards the direction of the seven elders, and made a grasping motion in mid-air.
"Noisy."
boom!
A giant, dark golden hand, covering an area of several tens of feet in radius, materialized above the heads of the seven people without warning.
On the palm of the giant hand, an ancient character for "suppress" exudes a powerful and awe-inspiring aura.
Eight Desolations Demon-Suppressing Hand!
The sinister smiles on the faces of the seven elders froze instantly.
A fear originating from the depths of their souls gripped their hearts.
They tried to escape, but found that the space around them was completely imprisoned by an unparalleled gravitational field, making it impossible to even move a finger.
The giant hand slammed down!
There were no screams, no resistance.
Like swatting seven mosquitoes.
Bang!
After a muffled, loud bang, the newly formed Seven Stars Sword Formation in the air, along with the seven Mystic Realm elders, was smashed into a sky full of blood mist and broken bones by a single palm strike.
Pure energy, following some mysterious connection, surged into Su Yu's body.
[Ding! Killed Mystic Realm Ninth Level Elder, reward: 8000 Slaughter Points!]
[Ding! Killed an elder at the Mystic Realm Eighth Level, reward: 6500 Slaughter Points!]
[bite!...]
The series of system notifications in his mind failed to cause Su Yu's expression to change in the slightest.
His indifferent gaze slowly swept over the Mystic Sword Sect disciples below, who were frozen in fear, as if he were inspecting his own pasture.
Just then, a voice filled with endless horror and trembling rang out from the two surviving elders.
"You... your cultivation technique... is it from... the Demon Suppression Bureau?!"
The one who spoke was none other than Chu Yuan, the Supreme Elder who had severed his arm and rescued Chu He from Lu Cang in the Black Demon Mountain Range.
His head of silver hair was disheveled, and his wrinkled old face was contorted with extreme fear.
He recognized the aura of that giant hand, the domineering true intent that suppressed all evil, which originated from the same source as the Demon Suppression Bureau's techniques!
But when did the Demon Suppression Bureau produce such a terrifyingly young killing machine?
Su Yu's gaze finally fell on Chu Yuan.
That gaze was calm and indifferent, devoid of any emotion, yet it made Chu Yuan feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his blood almost freezing.
He remembered.
A month ago, in the Black Demon Mountain Range, there was that young man from the Spirit Realm who was driven to the brink of death by them, and in the end, he swallowed a demon core and killed them in retaliation.
It's him!
How could it be him!
One month! A mere month! From the Spirit Realm Sixth Level to now... a terrifying realm that even he can't fathom!
"Little friend! No! Sir!"
Chu Yuan's voice trembled with fear, and he forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! Chu He was blind back then. My Mystic Sword Sect is willing to compensate, willing to pay any price!"
He was scared.
He still had the courage to draw his sword and fight Lu Cang.
But when faced with the young man before him, he couldn't even muster the strength to grip the sword.
It was an absolute suppression on a life level, like ants looking up at a god.
Su Yu looked at him, and a slight smile finally appeared on his lips, but it was colder than ten thousand years of icy ice.
"Compensation?"
He repeated the sentence, then raised his hand again.
The same action, the same grip.
"No--!"
Chu Yuan's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints, and a desperate roar stuck in his throat.
Another dark golden Eight Desolations Demon-Suppressing Hand took shape above his head.
He exerted all his strength, pouring all his inner True Qi into his natal flying sword, and a platinum sword rainbow shot into the sky, attempting to shake the giant hand.
However, it was of no use.
The moment the platinum sword rainbow touched the giant palm, it melted away Soundless, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.
boom!
The giant palm fell.
Chu Yuan, the Supreme Elder of the Mystic Sword Sect and a top expert at the Mystic Realm Ninth Level, was annihilated, leaving no trace of his body.
[Ding! Killed Mystic Realm Ninth Level Elder, reward: 8000 Slaughter Points!]
The entire Mystic Sword Mountain Range fell into a deathly silence.
The thousands of disciples below were all deathly pale and trembling uncontrollably.
The Supreme Elder... just like that, he died?
Was he slapped to death?
"Who... who is he?"
A young disciple's lips trembled as he muttered to himself.
"A devil... he's a devil who crawled out of hell..."
Despair, like a plague, spread in everyone's heart.
Just then...
"Sir, isn't that a bit too domineering!"
A voice, brimming with boundless rage and majesty, boomed across the sky like thunder.
A golden sword light tore through the sky and appeared in front of Su Yu in an instant, revealing Chu Tianhe, who was wearing a golden sword robe.
He stared intently at Su Yu, unleashing his full power Earth Realm Third Layer cultivator, which clashed violently with Su Yu's Yellow Springs Prison Qi, creating visible ripples in the space.
Chu Tianhe's gaze swept over the deep crater of flesh and blood on the training ground below, and he sensed the auras of the elders that had just dissipated in the air, especially the complete Annihilation of Chu Yuan. His eyes twitched wildly.
His heart was bleeding.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Mystic Sword Sect lost more than ten Mystic Realm elders, including one Supreme Elder!
This is a devastating loss that could shake the very foundation of a sect!
Who are you?
Chu Tianhe's voice was forced out through clenched teeth, "My Mystic Sword Sect has no enmity with you whatsoever!"
Su Yu finally looked him in the eye and spoke calmly. His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone inside the mountain gate.
" Tiannan Commandery, Mystic Sword Sect, colluded with the Demon God Cult to intercept and kill the Demon Suppression Guard."
"According to the Great Qin Law, he should be executed."
