Damn it!
"Well done, Yun Heng! This is a blatant declaration of war against me! Very well indeed!"
"I'd like to see if Su Yi can live until you emerge from seclusion!"
"So what if they have monstrous talent? In the end, they're just at the True Immortal Realm realm."
"Give me a chance, and I'll kill him!"
Ye Qingcang was furious.
Bai Zhan Bai Zhan, standing to the side, looked somewhat pale. He hadn't expected Yun Heng to directly declare his protection of Su Xiuyi. Yun Heng's Path of Lifeless Slaughter Dao was extremely terrifying.
The previously vocal Bai Zhan has now chosen silence.
But Bai Zhan wanted to remain silent, but Ye Qingcang naturally wouldn't give him the chance. Ye Qingcang's gaze instantly fell on Bai Zhan, and he coldly said, " Bai Zhan, how do you think you can kill Su Yi now?"
"You usually have a lot of ideas, now give me a plan."
"Today we intended to eliminate Su Yi completely, but we failed. In the process, we also lost the Wentian Sword and Uncle Tang Lin's position as an elder of the Punishment Hall. Not only did we fail at the last minute, but we were bitten by the snake instead of trying to kill it."
"I, Ye Qingcang, have never suffered such a loss before. No matter what, I will pay for it—no, I will eliminate Su Yi!"
Bai Zhan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
Bai Zhan hadn't taken Su Xiuyi seriously before because he hadn't witnessed how terrifying Su Xiuyi. Although Bai Zhan was strong, he was only slightly stronger than Zhao Zhen. If he faced Su Xiuyi, Bai Zhan had no confidence whatsoever. If Su Xiuyi escaped, he would surely die. The sect would never tolerate the killing of a disciple of the sect's true lineage.
However, Bai Zhan was very nervous at this moment.
Because Bai Zhan knew Ye Qingcang's character well, he knew that he had to come up with a plan no matter what, otherwise he would have no chance of escaping.
When Bai Zhan was at a loss, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Senior Brother Ye, the Heavenly Demon Battlefield will open soon. Su Yi will inevitably enter it, and that will be our opportunity. In the Heavenly Demon Battlefield, we can use the power of the Heavenly Demon to kill Su Yi."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcang's eyes lit up instantly.
"Good lad, I actually forgot about this. The Heavenly Demon Battlefield will open soon. Su Yi will be entering it, and I've just subdued a Heavenly Demon King. I can use that Heavenly Demon King to deal with Su Yi. That Heavenly Demon King has the cultivation of Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal."
"However, once the Heavenly Demon Battlefield opens, Su Yi won't have an easy time either."
A chilling light flashed in Ye Qingcang's eyes.
The Life and Death Platform.
All eyes were fixed on Su Xiuyi as she left with the Wentian Sword. They couldn't help but tremble, and their gazes towards Su Xiuyi became wary, their previous disdain completely gone.
In two consecutive battles, he defeated Luo Tianming and killed Zhao Zhen.
Within the Sword Gate, Su Xiuyi rose from obscurity to fame in a short period of time.
With the support of Yun Heng, they gained a firm foothold and even severed one of Ye Qingcang's arms. Who would dare to underestimate them?
"Congratulations, Peak Master, on slaying Zhao Zhen. Even if Ye Qingcang is unwilling, we have gained peace for a short time. Hopefully, our cultivation can advance further during this period."
"Then, we'll have some confidence when facing Ye Qingcang."
Yang Yi was visibly excited at that moment.
Today, none of the four expected that Su Xiuyi would actually kill Zhao Zhen.
"Hahaha!"
"Killing Zhao Zhen and cutting off Ye Qingcang's arm are minor matters. The real gain is the support of Elder Yun Heng. With Elder Yun Heng standing up for us, we are truly safe within the Sword Gate."
"Also, I unexpectedly obtained a celestial sword today, which was a pleasant surprise."
Su Xiuyi said with a smile.
Congratulations, Peak Master, on obtaining the Wentian Sword!
" The Wentian Sword is Ye Qingcang weapon. Now that it's in the Peak Master's hands, Ye Qingcang's expression probably won't be very pleasant."
Meng Hao immediately laughed.
"Peak Master, shall we still proceed to the Sword Tomb?"
"I asked, Fairy Lu Yao."
After all, after the battle, Su Xiuyi probably had lost interest.
Why not go?
"This was all arranged, how can it be changed so easily? Zhao Zhen is just a minor incident, how can we let Zhao Zhen affect us?"
"Let's go to the Sword Tomb."
Su Xiuyi took to the Skysoar, leading the four of them towards the Sword Tomb.
As Su Xiuyi headed to the Sword Tomb, Tang Lin emerged from the Punishment Hall with a gloomy expression.
As expected, Tang Lin lost his position as the deputy head of the Punishment Hall.
Tang Lin was furious at the thought of being schemed against by a mere True Immortal.
" Su Yi, I'll remember this!"
"If I cannot kill you, I cannot quell the hatred in my heart."
"If I want to kill you, even Yun Heng can't protect you."
Once the thought crossed Tang Lin's mind, he immediately left the place where the Punishment Hall was located.
The moment Su Xiuyi appeared outside the Sword Tomb, the old man on his deathbed outside the Sword Tomb suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.
He glanced at Su Xiuyi without leaving a trace.
I was inwardly amazed.
"Good lad! I never expected that after so many years, my Sword Gate would finally produce such a peerless genius. With only the cultivation of a True Immortal Realm, he first defeated Luo Tianming, and then forcefully killed Zhao Zhen. Such talent has not appeared for a long time, no, to be precise, it has not appeared in the entire Southern Heaven Land for a very, very long time."
"Moreover, this little guy seems to know Dao of the Sword of Space, and it's highly likely he's been to the Sea of Space and gained quite a lot."
"A hundred-thousand-year-old Dragon Blood Grass can only appear in the Sea of Space, after all, the Space Immortal Emperor once slew a Disaster Dragon King there."
"Only in places where powerful Dragon Race of the level of the Disaster Dragon King reside can Dragon Blood Grass be cultivated."
" Dao of the Sword of Space Dao of the Sword of Slaughter —mastering these two sword techniques to their fullest extent is enough to dominate a region."
"In our Sword Gate, for ten thousand years no one has been able to gain the sword's approval. This little fellow possesses such terrifying talent and has also cultivated the Dao of the Sword of Slaughter. I wonder if he can gain the approval of that divine sword today."
The old man, nearing the end of his life, suddenly thought of that divine sword, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.
The Sword Gate possesses an unparalleled divine weapon, a divine sword that the Sword Gate's founder attained enlightenment with. It was this divine sword that enabled the founder to establish the Sword Gate's ceremonial regalia.
The old man knew very well that even though Su Xiuyi had extraordinary talent, he only hoped that Su Xiuyi could gain a sliver of recognition from that divine sword, not that he would actually possess it.
After all, the divine sword is a divine weapon of an Immortal Emperor.
Su Xiuyi's current strength is still too weak to obtain the Immortal Emperor Weapon.
The old man slowly withdrew his gaze and fell asleep once more.
Today, Su Xiuyi killed Zhao Zhen, which can be described as shining brightly in the entire Sword Gate. When Su Xiuyi went to the Sword Tomb, it was not only the old man guarding the Sword Tomb Sword Tomb who was paying attention to this side.
Having witnessed Su Xiuyi's terrifying talent, countless people naturally paid attention to her, since Su Xiuyi had now stabilized her foundation and was qualified to compete for the position of sect leader successor.
Upon seeing the Sword Tomb before her, Su Xiuyi's face lit up with anticipation. She then handed her token to the elder in charge of the Sword Tomb. After the elder verified it, Su Xiuyi led Ye Chen and the other three into the Sword Tomb.
The moment Su Xiuyi stepped into the Sword Tomb, she couldn't help but gasp, for swords appeared before her eyes.
A casual glance reveals an endless expanse of swords, as densely packed as grass on the ground.
At the same time, Su Xiuyi felt waves of precious energy surging within the Sword Tomb.
The precious aura naturally emanated from those divine weapons.
"Is this the Sword Tomb?"
"How magnificent! Just how many immortal swords does this Sword Tomb mound contain!"
Meng Hao couldn't help but take a deep breath, his face showing shock. No one had expected that the Sword Tomb would contain so many immortal swords.
Before coming, Su Xiuyi had naturally learned about the Sword Tomb.
To obtain the most powerful immortal sword from the Sword Tomb, one must delve into Sword Tomb core. However, reaching the core of the Sword Tomb is no easy feat.
The dense array of immortal swords before him was not only eye-catching but also generated an incredibly terrifying sword intent. If one couldn't withstand this terrifying sword intent, not only would one not be able to retrieve the swords, but one might even lose their life.
Su Xiuyi's gaze fell on the four of them, her expression turning serious. She said, "You have followed me, and I don't want you to remain unknown. If you want to achieve something significant, today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Therefore, you must acquire a powerful immortal sword today, at least one of the level of Immortal King."
As soon as Su Xiuyi finished speaking, Ye Chen's legs trembled, and everyone gasped in shock. They had never expected Su Xiuyi's demands to be so high.
Ye Chen's face showed tension. "Peak Master, we also want to obtain the swords of those Immortal King experts, but penetrating deep into the core area is not that simple. With our cultivation level, if we can obtain a sword from a Luo Golden Immortal level expert, we'll be lucky."
"Perhaps with our strength, we can only ultimately gain the approval of Golden Immortal -level being when wielding a sword."
At that moment, Yang Yi and Meng Hao nodded as well. The four of them were very clear about their own strength.
Seeing the expressions on the four people's faces, Su Xiuyi couldn't help but smile and say, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. You will stay by my side and come with me to delve into the core of the Sword Tomb."
The next moment, an incredibly terrifying aura erupted from Su Xiuyi's body, instantly enveloping the four of them. Su Xiuyi led the four directly towards the core of the Sword Tomb.
"Um?"
"What treasure does this little guy possess that allows him to unleash such a terrifying aura in an instant, even suppressing much of the sword intent from the Sword Tomb?"
"For mere followers to make such a terrible request, it seems this kid has big ambitions."
"I just don't know if, with his strength, he really has a way to protect the four of them so they can gain something inside the core area."
Upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, the old man, who had been fast asleep, slowly opened his eyes, a look of anticipation appearing on his face for a fleeting moment.
The old man was also very curious to know what Su Xiuyi would gain today.
Although the old man knew that it wouldn't be difficult for Su Xiuyi to enter the core area with her talent, he was somewhat skeptical about bringing Ye Chen and the other three along, given the terrifying pressure there.
However, the old man's eyes widened in disbelief as Su Xiuyi led Ye Chen and the other three into the core of the Sword Tomb at an extremely fast speed.
When Ye Chen and the others saw themselves appear at the core of the Sword Tomb Sword Tomb without any effect from the sword intent, they were shocked. They never expected that Su Xiuyi would actually have the strength to bring them here.
Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Su Xiuyi immediately reprimanded them, "Stop wasting time! Quickly find me suitable swords. The swords here are very powerful. If you master them, they will greatly enhance your combat strength. Besides, I can't hold out for long."
The four of them snapped out of their daze when Su Xiuyi's voice rang out.
Su Xiuyi's cultivation was too weak, and even mobilizing the Power of Heaven and Earth was somewhat difficult.
Su Xiuyi's gaze swept across the Sword Tomb, discovering that there were very few swords here, only a dozen or so immortal swords. However, these immortal swords were all very powerful, at least controlled by the immortal Immortal King of the River of Time Sword Gate.
Although these immortal swords were extremely powerful, Su Xiuyi wasn't particularly interested in them. At this moment, Su Xiuyi's gaze was fixed on something deeper.
Deep within the Sword Tomb lies a blood-red longsword, seemingly stained with the blood of a demon god.
Even before getting close, Su Xiuyi could feel an extremely fierce aura emanating from that sword, which seemed like an unruly and untamed demon.
"Is that the Sword Gate's strongest immortal sword, the sword of the Slaughter Immortal Emperor?"
"As far as I know, this immortal sword has not recognized a master for a very long time and has been lying dormant here ever since. I wonder if I can obtain it today."
Su Xiuyi had all sorts of thoughts running through her mind, and she was extremely envious of the Immortal Slaying Sword.
At this moment, Su Xiuyi did not go to retrieve the sword, because Su Xiuyi needed to activate the Power of Heaven and Earth to protect the four of them so that they could retrieve the sword first.
Ye Chen and his three companions were led to the core area by Su Xiuyi. At that moment, a resolute look appeared in the eyes of the four of them. They quickly chose four immortal swords and began to use their own blood as a medium to communicate with these immortal swords.
The four were weak in cultivation, but they all practiced the Sword Gate's strongest inheritance, the Dao of the Sword of Slaughter, and gained the approval of the Immortal Sword.
If it weren't for the unique advantage that the Dao of the Sword of Slaughter Sword Gate, the four of them would never have been recognized by the Immortal Sword.
The next moment, the four of them left the Sword Tomb. The old man looked at Ye Chen and the others with a shocked expression. He never expected that Su Xiuyi would lead the four of them into the core area and actually obtain immortal swords at the level of Immortal King. These immortal swords were not much weaker than the Wentian Sword.
But the old man soon realized that the original owners of the four hundred immortal swords all cultivated the Dao of the Sword of Slaughter. Ye Chen and the other three had also cultivated the Dao of the Sword of Slaughter. These immortal Jian Yi never encountered a master and were no longer willing to remain dormant, so they chose the four of them.
The next moment, the old man's gaze seemed to pierce through the void and land on Su Xiuyi in the Sword Tomb.
"Little one, which immortal sword will you choose today?"
"So far, there has been no choice. Is it because you want to try to communicate with the Immortal Slaying Immortal Sword?"
The old man's thoughts had barely formed when he noticed Su Xiuyi in the Sword Tomb slowly walking towards the Immortal Slaying Sword. His eyes lit up instantly; as he had expected, Su Xiuyi did indeed want the Immortal Slaying Sword.
Su Xiuyi's expression changed slightly. Even with the Power of Heaven and Earth amplified, as she drew closer to the Immortal Slaying Sword, she felt as if she were being locked onto by a demon god.
At the same time, the terrifying pressure within the Sword Tomb vanished instantly, and Su Xiuyi could no longer sense it.
But at that moment, the old man outside the Sword Tomb suddenly stood up and looked into the depths of the Sword Tomb in disbelief, because at that moment, the entire mound began to shake violently.
At the core of the Sword Tomb, the Immortal Slaying Sword erupted with an incomparably ferocious Sword Qi, a blood-red Sword Qi that burst forth at an extremely terrifying speed.
Outside the Sword Tomb, in that instant, a Sword Qi containing boundless killing intent shot straight into the sky.
" Immortal Slaying Sword Qi!"
In that instant, countless eyes turned in disbelief towards the Sword Tomb amidst the God Mountain.
When that Sword Qi soared into the sky, it greatly shocked all the experts in the Sword Gate. Clearly, something unexpected had happened to the Immortal Slaying Sword.
