With no Invincible appearing, Peak Sunmoon was the strongest existence.
His willpower swept over every inch of space around him, but he found nothing.
He was at the peak of the Sun and Moon Realm Stage, yet his opponent had broken the ability of his Shadow Will Character with a single sentence, and he could not even find his opponent. The Heavenly Demon Sect elder could not help but be terrified; he had never encountered anything like this before.
Such strength made his blood run cold.
"Remnant of the Heavenly Demon Sect, how dare you sneak into the Myriad Text Academy! Aren't you a little too bold?"
As the Heavenly Demon Sect elder trembled in terror, Su Xiuyi's voice rang out again.
The "Yin" Will Character beside Su Xiuyi slowly vanished, and Su Xiuyi, dressed entirely in white, appeared not far in front of him.
"It's you?"
The Heavenly Demon Sect elder stared in disbelief at Su Xiuyi, who stood a short distance before him.
Even though he had been unable to see through Su Xiuyi before, he had never truly taken him seriously. After all, no matter how talented Su Xiuyi was, he had only been cultivating for so long.
Besides, where in the Myriad Text Academy were there resources for him to cultivate with? His cultivation could not be very high.
Yet just now, when his Will Character had swept over the place where Su Xiuyi stood, it had failed to detect him.
And Su Xiuyi had broken his Will Character with a single sentence.
The Heavenly Demon Sect elder was now extremely wary of Su Xiuyi.
This was no place for a major battle, either. The Myriad Text Academy was an extremely special place, and the Heavenly Demon Sect was not tolerated by the imperial dynasty. If anyone discovered his presence, he would surely die.
"Die!"
A glint of chilling killing intent appeared in the man's eyes, and a fierce light flared, as though a peerless beast had opened its bloody maw.
"Silence!"
A Sun and Moon Realm Stage Will Character flew out from between the Heavenly Demon Sect elder's brows. It was the character for "Silence."
"Seal!"
The moment the Silence character appeared, a Seal character followed.
With the two Will Characters reinforcing each other, Su Xiuyi could clearly feel that this space had been locked down. With the Stillness Will Character there, the elder did not have to worry about sound escaping, either.
At the same time, to ensure a kill in one blow, the Heavenly Demon Sect elder also unleashed the pressure of Peak Sunmoon to help the Seal Will Character suppress Su Xiuyi.
Even that was not enough. To be safe, the Heavenly Demon Sect elder also activated a "Break" Will Character.
The three Will Characters, "Silence," "Seal," and "Break," appeared in the air.
The Heavenly Demon Sect elder was treating Su Xiuyi as a powerful opponent in every respect. Clearly, he feared he might fail to kill Su Xiuyi in one blow, draw attention, and capsize in a gutter.
The next moment, a small blood-colored sword appeared between the Heavenly Demon Sect elder's brows, and the "Break" Will Character instantly landed on it.
Reinforced by the "Break" Will Character, the blood-colored sword's sharpness surged. Before it even reached its target, it gave the impression that nothing could stop it.
Sun and Moon Realm Stage Will Characters.
A powerful literary weapon, and the pressure of Peak Sunmoon.
To ensure a kill in one blow, the Heavenly Demon Sect elder could be said to have gone almost all out.
Whoosh.
The small blood-colored sword abruptly enlarged and stabbed toward Su Xiuyi's heart.
The sword tore through space, leaving a white streak in its wake.
At that moment, Su Xiuyi seemed completely immobilized, unable to move.
The Heavenly Demon Sect elder stared intently, wanting to watch Su Xiuyi die beneath the sword.
The blood-colored sword was extremely fast, and its sharpness made one's blood run cold.
Bang!
Yet the moment the blood-colored sword struck Su Xiuyi, there was no sound of a blade piercing a body and tearing through flesh.
It was as though it had struck not a man, but an iron mountain.
The Heavenly Demon Sect elder's literary weapon snapped on the spot.
The literary weapon, forged from countless supreme treasures and nurtured for a hundred years, broke before his eyes.
"Hm?"
"How is that possible?"
Pfft!
The Heavenly Demon Sect elder's literary weapon should more accurately have been called a blood weapon. To make it powerful, he had nurtured it with his own soul blood, making it like a part of himself.
When the literary weapon broke, the Heavenly Demon Sect elder spat out a mouthful of blood.
His heart nearly leaped out of his mouth in fright, and his soul trembled violently.
He was at the peak of the Sun and Moon Realm Stage and had unleashed the power of his literary weapon, yet he could not injure Su Xiuyi, who had offered no resistance whatsoever.
Now his mind had suffered a blow, and his face was filled with terror.
"I can't defeat him."
At that moment, the Heavenly Demon Sect elder fell into utter despair.
He turned and fled at extreme speed.
Su Xiuyi did not move. Instead, he activated his Will Characters.
"Fix," "Silence," "Yin," "Slow," "Seal," "Restrict," and "Reverse."
The Will Characters appeared one after another, instantly hovering in the air.
Although they were all Sun and Moon Realm Stage Will Characters, Su Xiuyi's Will Characters were countless times more powerful than the Heavenly Demon Sect elder's.
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"You're just a brat who's cultivated for thirty or forty years, and you were imprisoned for twenty of them. How could you be so powerful?"
The Heavenly Demon Sect elder's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in fright.
For at that moment, his body had actually been nailed in place.
"I curse you: within a quarter of an hour, your soul will rot and your flesh will turn to white bones."
A chilling expression appeared at the corners of Su Xiuyi's mouth as he spoke.
Beside Su Xiuyi, the Curse Will Character flashed and vanished. An arcane power fell upon the Heavenly Demon Sect elder in an exceedingly bizarre manner.
"Blood Escape Technique!"
The Heavenly Demon Sect elder was terrified. He immediately activated the evil art to escape.
He burned his essence blood without regard for the consequences. Besides, it was extremely dangerous now, with experts from the Heaven Patrol Pavilion still outside.
As he burned his essence blood, he also burned his willpower to activate the Shadow Will Character, merging into the darkness.
"Decisive enough. What a pity you ran into me!"
Su Xiuyi watched the Heavenly Demon Sect elder tear through the air, a chilling expression appearing at the corners of his mouth.
The man truly was decisive, however, burning his essence blood and willpower outright. Under normal circumstances, doing so would cause his cultivation to plummet.
That was not to mention that he had been tainted by the terrifying power of the curse within the Myriad Text Academy, and Su Xiuyi's Curse Will Character had stirred that curse power into action.
Outside a small courtyard in Southern Heaven City, two figures looked up at the sky from time to time, frowning slightly.
"Damn it, he's been in there so long. Why hasn't he come back? Does he really think the curse power inside the Myriad Text Academy has disappeared?"
"If the curse power had really disappeared, someone would have entered the Myriad Text Academy long ago. It would never have been our turn."
The brows of one Heavenly Demon Sect elder were almost knitted together.
"Perhaps the curse power really has weakened sharply. If so, our sacred sect must fight its way in even at the cost of our lives. We'd get filthy rich even if we just scavenged corpses-those are the bones of saints." The other man could not help but be filled with anticipation.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark figure entered the courtyard. When the two realized their companion had returned, their eyes filled with excitement.
But the next moment, a pale face emerged from beneath the black robe and said in terror, "Save me."
"Third brother, what happened? Why is your essence blood so severely depleted?" The man who spoke hurriedly caught hold of the Heavenly Demon Sect elder.
"Something's wrong. Let go of him!"
The other man hastily retreated, roaring as he did.
"Hm?"
The Heavenly Demon Sect elder holding his companion turned pale, for at that moment, the flesh of the elder who had infiltrated the Myriad Text Academy rapidly festered and fell away. The hand he was holding turned to white bone in the blink of an eye.
