Chapter 1579 - An Immortal Lord Arrives

Chai Beitong knelt on the ground.

The golden-robed middle-aged man had parted ways with his head. His body lay on its back in a pool of blood.

Lu Shangxiu’s Natal Dao Sword had been destroyed, and her beautiful face was pallid.

All that remained of that older-generation cultivator was his soul.

When Su Yi’s light, airy, yet tyrannical voice echoed throughout the hall, the atmosphere was instantly incomparably stifled.

Those qualified to attend this banquet were either wealthy or noble. Pick any one of them at random, and they were sure to have titles and origins sufficient to intimidate the masses.

Yet now, all of them were silent. They instinctively looked at the man in the centermost seat, Hua Xingchen.

Hua Xingchen’s expression darkened, and his hawk-like eyes bore into Su Yi for a while before he finally broke the oppressive silence.

“This was a misunderstanding,” Hua Xingchen said expressionlessly. “If you’d like, I can explain it to you.”

Xue Hongfeng almost couldn’t help but laugh. A misunderstanding? Only someone like you could say something so shameless!

Su Yi’s response was quite simple. He took a sudden step forward, arrived in front of Lu Shangxiu, grabbed her by the throat, and held her aloft.

“What are you trying to do?” Hua Xingchen’s expression darkened. Hurry up and let her go!”

Lu Shangxiu shrieked, “If you dare kill me, there’s no way my martial uncle will spare your life!”

Crack!

A moment later, her neck snapped, and her vitality dissipated. All that remained was a limp, lifeless corpse.

The crowd’s eyes widened in disbelief.

No matter what else you might say about her, Lu Shangxiu was a proud daughter of heaven, a genius on the Universe Realm Immortal rankings. Furthermore, she was the descendant of an Immortal Lord of the Blood of the Underworld Demonist Cult!

Yet now, Su Yi had simply broken her neck!

“That was a misunderstanding too,” Su Yi said calmly.

The crowd’s expressions shifted. What misunderstanding? He was obviously just giving an eye for an eye. That was a blatant slap in Hua Xingchen’s face!

“Just what kind of explanation do you want?” Tao Shanyun couldn’t help but say, “Don’t tellyou won’t be satisfied until you’ve killed everyone here?”

He too was an expert of the Universe Realm Immortal Rankings, and he was in forty-sixth place.

He, Chai Beitong, and Lu Shangxiu had been seated together. But now, Chai Beitong had been forced to the ground, and Lu Shangxiu had been killed. All of this cas an enormous shock.

Su Yi shook his head. “No, I’m not an indiscriminate killer. Every crhas its culprit. It’s enough that the person behind this pays for what they’ve done.”

Everyone instinctively looked at Hua Xingchen.

Hua Xingchen let out a long sigh. A moment later, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he said with cold indifference, “Since you stubbornly insist on seeking death, I’ll... give you what you want!”

Clang!

He raised his hand, and a blood-red long sword flew into his grip. His aura was instantly extraordinarily terrifying, and it bore and collapsed the surrounding space.

The formations covering the hall fluctuated violently.

The heaven-defying majesty of the sixteenth strongest monster of the Universe Realm Immortal Rankings left the crowd astonished, as well as eager.

“If Brother Hua is going to fight, how could we remain uninvolved?” said Tao Shanyun. Murderous intent billowed around him.

The others were all startled to their senses, but they too voiced their agreement.

“That’s right! We ought to attack together and kill that bastard!”

Every expert present instantly readied themselves for battle. Xue Hongfeng stiffened, and instinctively stood in front of Fang Han, just in case.

But Su Yi shook his head. He really didn’t have any intention of massacring the entire banquet, which was why he’d been holding back.

Yet now, aside from a tiny handful of guests who’d yet to take a stance, everyone seemed determined to join forces with Hua Xingchen!

Were they stupid?

No, not really. They just felt confident in their backing.

Without any further delays, Su Yi brushed off his clothes and approached Hua Xingchen.

“Get him!” The experts bellowed and attacked as one.

Even the weakest of them was still a Universe Realm Immortal, while the strongest were Void Realm True Immortals of the older generation. All of them took out their treasures and attacked with all their might.

Boom!

The entire hall shook.

The cloud ship flying beneath the dof heaven suddenly swayed, as if feeling the impact. Countless formation diagrams arose on its city-sized hull.

The countless living creatures on board were stunned. All of them set aside what they were doing.

What happened?

Meanwhile, Su Yi had begun the massacre.

His clothing billowed around him as he clenched his right hand into a fist and punched, like a god beating a heavenly drum.

Bang!!

The air collapsed.

Wherever that tyrannical fist force passed, wondrous immortal arts popped like soap bubbles, and immortal weapons swathed in flowing colorful lights scattered in all directions. The air rumbled and boomed.

None of them could take a single hit!

When the power of Su Yi’s punch burst forth, it was like the river of heaven breaking through a dam. Several immortals couldn’t escape in time, and the impact exploded them to bits, scattering flesh and blood.

The dead even included two Void Realm True Immortals!

Even Hua Xingchen was sent staggering back. His expression shifted dramatically. How is this guy so strong?

The other immortals were so scared that they broke out in cold sweats. And here they’d thought that since they’d joined forces, they ought to be able to kill Su Yi, or at least restrict him.

Who’d have thought that right from the start of the battle, a single fist would display unstoppable force!

Too terrifying!

And this was only the beginning.

Since Su Yi had decided to attack, he naturally wouldn’t be polite.

His gait seemed slow, but in truth, it was extraordinarily quick. He seemed calm and composed, even when he attacked. His strikes were plain, without the slightest flourish.

But every strike was full of unstoppable force, as if he were cleaving through rotten wood!

Just a few blinks of an eye later, everyone who’d joined forces with Hua Xingchen was dead!

Including Tao Shanyun, that expert of the Universe Realm Immortal Rankings!

The stench of blood permeated the air.

The floor was covered in destroyed plates and furniture.

The grand hall was like a blood-soaked vision of purgatory.

Those who’d chosen not to attack stood there in a daze, their souls practically leaving their bodies. All of them knew that had they joined the others in surrounding Su Yi, they’d be on the floor dead too!

“This is the Endless Jades Immortal Sect’s territory, and my martial grand uncle is on board. Don’t... Don’t cany closer!” Hua Xingchen retreated, terror and unease all over his face.

His hair was disheveled, and he’d been injured in the prior battle. His whole body was covered in blood.

“I know you’re trying to buy time,” Su Yi said flatly. “And I know you only dared to attackbecause you’re confident in your backer. Alas, I said it a long tago. The king of heaven himself could show up, and it wouldn’t be enough to save your life.”

It was then that a group charged into the hall.

“How dare you commit murder in Endless Jades Immortal Sect Territory? What gall!” The leader, a tall, stalwart man, bellowed.

All of them charged in with fierce momentum, and their decidedly unfriendly gazes locked onto Su Yi.

Hua Xingchen visibly relaxed. “Experts of the Endless Jades Immortal Sect have arrived. Are you sure you want to continue?”

Su Yi nodded. “Of course.”

With that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Hua Xingchen. The sixteenth strongest Universe Realm Immortal was as helpless as a worm in his grip.

“Impudent! You dare act wantonly right under our noses? You cannot escape punishment!” The tall, stalwart man bellowed, then led the charge.

Su Yi swung his sleeves.

Bang!

The tall, stalwart man was sent flying. He slammed to the floor, hard, coughing up blood. He’d actually been severely injured!

This scene left the experts accompanying the tall, stalwart man stunned. All of them were instinctively on guard, and none of them dared act lightly.

“Do you understand the consequences of what you’ve done?”

“You’d best stop as soon as possible. Otherwise, when our high elder arrives, there’s no way this will end well for you!”

The Endless Jades Immortal Sects experts started shouting threats.

Xue Hongfeng was the first to object. He said coldly, “Where were you when they hurt Fellow Daoist Su’s companion? Why is it that you only show up when he’s trying to save his friend? Is that how the Endless Jade Immortal Sect operates?”

“Never mind all that,” said Su Yi. He tossed Hua Xingchen to the ground and stepped on his back, then looked around the room. He said flatly, “But you can relax. I won’t kill him—yet. I’d be interested to see if anyone is capable of saving him.”

Silence fell. This declaration left the Endless Jades Immortal Sect experts completely stunned.

They couldn’t even imagine it. How much confidence must he have, to dare say such a thing?

Xue Hongfeng looked at Hua Xingchen and thought, I tried to warn you! I told you you’d bring disaster upon yourself if you didn’t let up, but you refused to listen. You deserve this!

Xue Hongfeng felt shaken too. It had been a long tsince he’d met anyone as ruthless as Su Yi.

The distinguished guests of this banquet typically relied on their sects’ and clans’ prestige to resolve whatever problems they encountered with ease.

Even if they ran into someone stronger than them, most people would choose to smooth things over out of consideration for their backers.

But Su Yi was different. He was fearless, and he killed decisively! Most importantly, he obviously knew Hua Xingchen’s origins, and he knew that this cloud ship belonged to the Endless Jades Immortal Sect. The reason he wasn't worried was that he simply didn’t care.

Xue Hongfeng couldn’t help but be impressed.

But then, they heard a conversation emanate from beyond the hall.

“I wouldn’t have thought that someone would dare cause trouble in the Endless Jades Immortal Sect’s Soaring Cloud Tower!”

“Brother Huo, please remain calm. I’ll be sure to make up for what happened here today!”

“Hmph!”

Two figures appeared accompanying these voices. The first was a tall, thin, middle-aged man with narrow eyes, a broad belt, and a tall hat. The other was a silver-haired, venerable elder.

Both of them emanated the characteristic energy fluctuations of an Immortal Lord!

“Greetings, High Elder!”

When they saw the middle-aged man, the Endless Jade Immortal Sect experts sighed in relief and bowed.

The middle-aged man was none other than High Elder Fu Yunzhong of the Endless Jades Immortal Sect!

When Hua Xingchen saw the white-haired elder, he couldn’t help but cry out with excitement. “Martial Grand Uncle!”

Huo Xiu!

An Immortal Lord of the Blood of the Underworld Demonist Cult and a long-established, highly influential old monster of the Demonist Way.

After Huo Xiu and Fu Yunzhong arrived, the atmosphere shifted. It was suddenly stifled and imposing. Even Xue Hongfeng couldn’t help but gasp, and his heart quivered. He would never have guessed that the Endless Jades Immortal Sect had tasked an Immortal Lord with overseeing the tower, and he certainly wouldn’t have thought that Hua Xingchen would be accompanied by an old monster like Huo Xiu!

It’s over! Fellow Daoist Su has poked a hole through the heavens this time!

Xue Hongfeng’s heart sank.
