Chapter 1594 - Vertical Severing
Over a dozen Universe Realm Immortals had died brutal deaths, just like that. This bloody scene left everyone visibly stricken.
Liang Wenyu and Fang Yourong couldn’t help but stiffen. The Universe Realm Immortals had died just feet away; fresh blood had even splattered their clothing.
It was easy to imagine how great a shock it all was.
Only Fang Han and Xue Hongfeng remained calm. This wasn’t enough to surprise those who’d witnessed Su Yi’s abilities before.
“You’re seeking death!”
Elder Liang Ming roared in fury and charged at Su Yi.
Su Yi didn’t even look at him. He just stretched out his finger and tapped the air.
Bang!
Liang Ming’s body split into pieces in midair, spraying the ground with a waterfall of blood and chunks of flesh.
The distant onlookers were horrified. Liang Ming had been a peak Void Realm True Immortal, yet he still fell to a single hit!
Liang Zhibei, Liang Yunhu, and the other higher-ups were stunned. Their expressions were instantly incomparably unsightly.
“I didn’t realize it, but you’re actually a hidden expert, huh, you little brat?” Liang Zhibei said icily. He was seething with murderous intent.
Su Yi said plainly, “I’m not the type to massacre indiscriminately, and I have no desire to slaughter the entire Liang Family. I urge you not to bring disaster upon yourself.”
With that, he approached Liang Zhibei and said, “All I want is your head; it’ll be the second wedding gift I give today.”
So, the second ‘wedding gift’ Senior Su spoke of was Family Head Liang’s head! Fang Han’s heart shook at the revelation.
Liang Zhibei was so angry that he laughed. “A mere Universe Realm Immortal dares act wantonly in our territory? You don’t know the meaning of the word ‘death!’”
Boom!
His qi rumbled and boomed around him, and the terrifying majesty of an Immortal Lord shot into the firmament, shaking the entire hall. Throughout the venue, the tables, chairs, and other furnishings shattered.
The crowd watched in horror. The majesty of an Immortal Lord alone was a major threat to them. If fighting broke out here, the consequences would be unimaginably dire!
Grand Elder Liang Yunhu suddenly said, “Young man, dare you fight me outside?”
“Very well. I’ll give you an opportunity.” Su Yi turned and exited the hall. He didn’t want this to turn into a massacre, and he naturally didn’t want to implicate the other party guests.
When they saw this, the ordinary Liang clansmen and attendees sighed in relief.
A moment later, all of them hurriedly left the hall.
......
Outside the venue, the sky above Mount Huang Liang. Immortal qi rose into the air.
Su Yi stood amidst the sea of clouds, hands behind his back. Beneath the light of heaven, his tall, upright figure had the extraordinary charm of one who’d risen out of the dust of mundanity.
Whoosh!
Grand Elder Liang Yunhu took to the air and arrived beneath the dome of heaven.
All eyes were instantly upon him.
“That guy killed fourteen Universe Realm Immortals with a swing of his sleeves and slew a peak Void Realm True Immortal like Liang Ming with a flick of his fingers. Is he perhaps an Immortal Lord too?”
“He isn’t. When he attacked earlier, he revealed his cultivation base. He’s only in the Universe Realm!”
“What? A Universe Realm Immortal? Since when were Universe Realm Immortals so heaven-defying?”
The guests were naturally discussing Su Yi.
“Even if he were stronger, he’d be doomed to die today!”
“This is the Liang Family’s territory!”
The experts of the Liang Family had dark expressions on their faces, and they gnashed their teeth with fury.
Liang Wenyu, Fang Yourong, and Fang Han clustered together. Xue Hongfeng was watching over them.
The bride and groom had looks of deep concern and unease on their faces.
“Big Sister, don’t be afraid! Senior Su is sure to win!” Fang Han said comfortingly.
Fang Yourong bitterly shook her head. Win? This is Mount Huang Liang, and it’s covered in too many killing formations to count. Furthermore, the Liang Family’s experts are as numerous as trees in the forest, and they have two Immortal Lords overseeing things. That Su Yi guy might be strong, but he’s no Immortal Lord. How could he have any chance at victory?
Xue Hongfeng seemed to realize what she was thinking. He couldn’t help but chuckle and shake his head, but he said nothing.
Meanwhile, beneath the dome of heaven——
When Su Yi saw Liang Yunhu shoot toward him, he shook his head. “I want Liang Zhibei’s head, not yours. You’d best step back.”
Liang Yunhu said expressionlessly, “It won’t be too late to boast after you’ve defeated me!”
Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, he attacked.
Glittering purple Immortal Lord Laws shot forth, intertwining into a hand so massive as to blot out the sun. It descended upon Su Yi.
How terrifying was the attack of an Immortal Lord?
Heaven and earth trembled, and the endless sea of clouds collapsed as the skies descended into chaos.
Terrifying majesty spread outward. Heaven and earth changed color.
An attack like that could slay anyone beneath the Immortal Lord level with ease. It was terrifying to the extreme.
Su Yi casually stretched his back.
Whoosh!
Within his Immortal Origin Space, his boundless ocean of Immortal Origin surged, and the Sword-of-the-Nine-Hells-shaped power of his Immortal Laws circulated.
Forceful, tyrannical power soared into the air, and every inch of his skin shone with immortal light, as if he were made of glazed glass. He had an extraordinary, unrivaled bearing.
Startled cries resounded throughout the venue.
Earlier, Su YI had seemed entirely unassuming and unexceptional.
Now, it was as if an unrivaled god of the sword had descended into their midst, gazing contemptuously down upon the nine heavens!
Boom!
As that massive hand descended, Su Yi laughed dryly and swung his fist.
It was just one punch, but it was swathed in dazzling light. It ripped through the sky, as if nothing could stand in its way. It bore a hole right through that massive hand!
It then continued ahead, crushing everything in its wake, its power entirely undiminished. It was headed right toward Liang Yunhu.
Liang Yunhu’s pupils constricted. He waved his hand in an attempt to stop it.
But in the blink of an eye, he was sent staggering back. With every step he took, the sky caved in, and a massive explosion rang out.
His aged face alternated white and green; it obviously didn’t feel good.
The crowd was in uproar. One punch, and a Universe Realm Immortal forced an Immortal Lord back!?
Even the Immortal Lords among the attendees were scared. Where did this heaven-defying monster come from?
Liang Wenyu and Fang Yourong exchanged glances. Even if you’d hit them over the head, they would never have guessed that their Fellow Daoist Su was this strong!
“Go!” Beneath the dome of heaven, Liang Yunhu bellowed. Sixteen flying swords whooshed through the air.
The stars flashed overhead, illuminating the mountains and rivers.
In the onlookers’ eyes, those sixteen flying swords were like beams of flowing light, dazzling as lightning bolts. Destructive sword force filled heaven and earth and descended furiously upon Su Yi.
Even just watching from afar made them feel prickling pain in their souls, and they almost couldn’t breathe.
“Playing with swords in front of me?” Su Yi chuckled, then waved his sleeves and raised his right hand into the air.
“All swords beneath their heavens take me as their sovereign. In front of me, all shall bow!”
Every word was like the humming of a sword echoing throughout the nine heavens.
Terrifying, unrivaled sword force emanated from Su Yi.
Everyone in the crowd who carried a sword felt it. Their weapons, from the immortal swords to the flying swords, started clanging and shaking in their scabbards.
They were like ministers before a sovereign, bowing their heads in submission!
The dense, clear humming of swords filled heaven and earth, one after another. The sound echoed throughout the nine heavens and the ten earths.
The sixteen flying swords shooting toward Su Yi let out mournful wails, then swayed and quivered in midair, like disloyal ministers facing punishment for their betrayal.
Liang Yunhu paled. He was both alarmed and furious.
He was an Immortal Lord of the Dao of the Sword, and he could cut down tens of thousands of foes with a swing of his sword. His strength was far beyond others of the same cultivation.
Yet even as he used his full power, he felt that he was losing control over his flying swords!
The thought made his hair stand on end. Don’t tell me that young man’s mastery of the Dao of the Sword is far beyond mine?
“Go!” Su Yi waved his sleeves.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sixteen flying swords let out impassioned hums as they burst with monstrous sword qi. All of them turned around and shot backward. This time, they were headed right for Liang Yunhu.
This wasn’t a backlash. Rather, Su Yi’s Dao of the Sword simply exerted dominance upon them, erasing the power controlling them and replacing it with Su Yi’s will.
Liang Yunhu’s eyes bulged. As an Immortal Lord of the Dao of the Sword, how could he not understand what this implied?
He roared in fury, and moved his hands as if performing Tai Qi. His sword intent spread out, connecting heaven and earth.
Immeasurably dense sword mountains shot through the air.
There were nine in total. They obscured the light of the heavens, like nine natural barriers severing the skies!
Together, they suppressed everything on all sides, separating heaven and earth.
This technique was called Vertical Severing!
This was the divine ability Liang Yunhu took the most pride in. He fused the full extent of his attainments in the Dao of the Sword into this strike, and it had earned him endless praises among the Immortal Lords of the White Reed Province.
A few older-generation cultivators even judged that nobody in the same realm could break through this technique. Simply put, it was a supreme defensive technique.
But when Su Yi saw it, he shook his head. A sword cultivator’s greatest defense was a powerful offense! A defensive skill like this meant passively taking a pummeling. This man\'s Dao of the Sword had long since lost its soul.
All of this took a long time to describe, but it happened in a flash. Liang Yunhu unleashed Vertical Severing just before the sixteen flying swords landed.
Boom!
The first sword cleaved into the mountains.
All nine shook, and explosive, destructive power swept outward.
Liang Yunhu’s heart quivered. This flying sword was his natal treasure, yet it displayed far greater strength in Su Yi’s hands than in his!
Before he could react, the other fifteen flying swords descended.
Boom!
A dense series of sword hums rang out. Every slash was heavy, forceful, and tyrannical.
In the blink of an eye, the nine sword mountains of Vertical Severing split. A fierce current of sword qi swept throughout heaven and earth.
Everyone watching felt a prickling pain in their eyes, and their hearts filled with panic. This clash was far too terrifying!
By the time the dust settled, the nine sword mountains had ceased to exist.
Sixteen flying swords hovered before Liang Yunhu.
The old man’s hair was disheveled, and his face was deathly pale. He gazed at his sixteen flying swords in a daze and said bitterly, “Using my own swords to defeat my Sword Dao and destroy my Sword Heart. Impressive! Impressive!”
He gazed down at Liang Zhibei, then shouted, seemingly with the last of his strength, “Family Head, admit defeat so that the clan might live on!”
His voice boomed throughout heaven and earth.
A moment later, countless fine, bloody cuts appeared all over him, like a crimson spider web. A moment later, he split into countless chunks of flesh in midair.
Destroyed, body and soul.
The wails of his sixteen flying swords shook the heavens.
