As Shuo Meng laughed uproariously, the other yao cultivators burst into laughter alongside him.
The sound stung the ears, but Meng Jinghai and the others paid them no heed.
After witnessing Su Yiās terrifying abilities, Shuo Meng and the yao cultivatorsā jeering laughter seemed extraordinarily ignorant and ridiculous.
āLittle guy, they want you to stick up for them. What do you plan to do?ā the curly-bearded elder said slowly.
Su Yiās gaze shifted, landing on the Molten Gold Lion pulling the carriage. āLeave that dirty beast behind; Iāll take it back with me to guard my gates. Do that, and Iāll give the rest of you an opportunity to leave here alive.ā
Molten Gold Lions werenāt all that strong, but this was the Great Qin. Here, a Spiritual Incarnation Realm Molten Gold Lion was far too rare.
And rare things were precious.
If he forced the dirty beast to submit and brought it back, thereād be no need to have Ying Que keep watch all the time.
Meng Jinghai and the others didnāt know what to say to that. They were dumbstruck; Su Yiās response wasnāt at all what they expected.
But the more they thought about it, the more domineering and tyrannical his superficially understated, casual words seemed!
It was as if he were saying, āAll of your lives put together are worth less than a single Molten Gold Lion!ā
Shuo Meng and the other yao cultivators were stunned too.Ā Since when were young Gathering Stars cultivators this arrogant?
It was so unreasonable that they almost dared not believe their ears.
Suddenly, an infuriated roar shattered the clouds in all directions.
The Molten Gold Lion pulling the chariot stared at Su Yi. Its enormous eyes bulged, and it surged with murderous intent.
The monstrous yao qi emanating from it made Meng Jinghai and the others break out in cold sweats.
For the first time, they realized that the beast pulling the carriage had terrifying Spiritual Incarnation Realm cultivation!
However, when Su Yi saw this, he laughed and pointed at the beast. āYou dare roar at me? Iāll have to make you kneel and beg for mercy, you dirty little beast.ā
āImpudent!ā said a fair-skinned, red-robed young man. He was a member of the military procession.
He gazed down at Su Yi from on high and said coldly, āDonāt you think youāve made enough of a scene, you little punk? Do you really think weāre too afraid to kill anyone?ā
Every word was forceful, decisive, and brimming with killing intent.
The red-robed young man was a Spiritual Manifestation Realm yao cultivator, and his aura was vicious and forceful.
āMeng Jinghai, go kill that wicked creature,ā Su Yi said calmly.
Meng Jinghai had maintained his bow all this time. When he heard this, he stiffened.
Then, the leader of the Wrath of Heaven Sect took a deep breath and said, āGot it!ā
Earlier, he was the first to request that Su YiĀ tookĀ care of this.
Now that Su Yi had given him orders, he naturally couldnāt disobey.
He shot through the skies, his sleeves billowing around him. A glittering silver spear appeared in his hands, and the characteristic aura of the Spiritual Incarnation Realm circulated through him.
āBastards! Are all of you planning to throw your lives away?ā Shuo Meng shouted, and his expression darkened.
āYouāre the ones seeking death!ā Meng Jinghai said expressionlessly. As he spoke, he stepped into the air and thrust his spear at the red-robed young man from a distance.
The spear struck like lightning, stirring up dazzling silver Dao Light. It pierced through the air with shocking force and momentum.
The red-robed young manās expression changed dramatically, and he immediately tried to dodge.
He was only in the Spiritual Manifestation Realm. How could he dare contend with Spiritual Incarnation Realm experts?
āYouāre seeking death!ā
The curly-bearded elder attacked, quick as lightning, and punched through the air.
He forcefully blocked Meng Jinghaiās attack, which exploded in midair with a burst of radiant light.
āSo, you repressed your cultivation base!ā Meng JinghaiāsĀ pupils constricted.
Earlier, the curly-bearded elder had obviously been in the late-stage Spiritual Manifestation Realm, but when he attacked, he exploded with the power of the Spiritual Incarnation Realm!
āAre you people really going to obey that punk kidās orders and oppose our Holy Church of the Caterpillar?ā the curly-bearded elder asked coldly. His eyes shone with unearthly golden light, and his aura was terrifying.
āIf you hadnāt pushed us too far and demanded that we submit, how could things have turned out this way? The fighting has already begun, so donāt waste your breath!ā Meng Jinghai snorted coldly, waved his silver spear, and attacked the curly-bearded elder.
The sky was in turmoil as a grand battle broke out.
Everyone could tell that Meng Jinghai, the leader of the Wrath of Heaven Sect, had gone all out. He surged with murderous intent, and he didnāt hesitate in the slightest.
He was obviously trying to prove that he was indeed following Su Yiās orders!
Waves coursed through the other expertsā hearts, and their expressions filled with uncertainty.
It was then that Su Yi said casually, āGu Shandu, fight alongside Meng Jinghai and take down that vile feathered beast.ā
The leader of the Treasureflame Spirit Sect, Gu Shandu, paused. His pupils constricted, but shortly after, he nodded and shot through the skies.
He gripped a black jade ruler shaped like a birdās beak. There was a little-finger-sized chain at the rulerās far end.
Hellās Soul-Snaring Ruler!
An unfathomably powerful secret soul treasure!
The Treasureflame Spirit Sect focused on soul cultivation, and Gu Shandu was a true Spiritual Incarnation Realm soul cultivator.
As soon as he entered the fray, he joined forces with Meng Jinghai, suppressing the curly-haired elderās furious attacks!
āWhen you kill him, donāt injure his wings. Uh, I mean his arms. I have use for them,ā warned Su Yi.
He could tell at a glance that the curly-bearded elderās true body was a Blue-Eyed Blood Condor. All of his cultivation base had gone into tempering his wings.
In the eyes of other cultivators, his wings were a first-rate divine material. They could be refined into wind elemental treasures or used to make medicine.
However, the way Su Yi saw it, if he got his hands on those wings, he could roast and eat them. They would undoubtedly far surpass any of this worldās delicacies.
When Meng Jinghai and Gu Shandu heard Su Yiās warning, they couldnāt help but grimace.
Only one of their opponents had attacked, but so many experts were ready and raring to go. Furthermore, Holy Son Qing Yuan of the Holy Church of the Caterpillar was still inside the carriage; heād yet to reveal his face.
How could they possibly manage to kill their opponent under such circumstances?
It was no exaggeration to say that although they were fighting the curly-bearded elder, most of their attention was preventing other enemies from catching them off guard.
āBastards! I see youāre really dead-set on seeking death!ā Shuo Mengās expression darkened, and he shouted, āMo Qing, go kill that Gathering Stars Realm punk. Everyone else, seal this place off. If anyone dares attack, kill them on the spot!ā
His voice spread throughout the entire area.
The military procession instantly took action. The yao cultivators revealed the full extent of their yao qi, holding nothing back.
Then, they got in formation and sealed off Pinewave Plateau. Their momentum was terrifying and fierce.
Shuo Meng carried his snow-white mallet and shot toward Gu Shandu in a flash.
Shuo Mengās mountainous frame burst with yao qi, and his cultivation base soared from the Spiritual Manifestation Realm all the way to the Spiritual Incarnation Realm.
There was no doubt about it: just like the curly-bearded elder, heād been suppressing his cultivation base. Now that the fighting had begun in earnest, he no longer held anything back.
Meng Jinghai and Gu Shanduās expressions were instantly solemn, and they no longer dared divide their attention.
The air was thrown into turmoil, and divine radiance surged.
Four Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivators were locked in bitter combat, their battle dimming the very skies themselves. Even the sun and moon lost their light.
The othersĀ atopĀ Pinewave Plateau watched, their expressions shifted erratically.
Who could miss that the Holy Church of the Caterpillar had effectively started a war?
āLittle whelp, itās time to die!ā
Meanwhile, the red-robed young man, Mo Qing, charged murderously toward Su Yi. His robes billowed around him, and he threw a ruthless punch while he was still in midair.
A millstone-sized blood-colored fist imprint condensed, brimming with imposing yao qi. As it flew through the air, the skies howled and wailed.
This was the attack of a Spiritual Manifestation Realm yao cultivator, and its power was naturally extraordinary.
Fu Yunkong of the Spirit Firmament Sword Sect took out his natural spiritual sword and was just about to block.
Only for Su Yi to shake his head. āNo need.ā
Heād only just said this when he swung his sleeves.
The blood-colored, millstone-like palm imprint burst like paper mache.
The red-robed Mo Qingās pupils constricted, and his expression shifted dramatically.
Was such power even possible for a Gathering Stars Realm cultivator?
Heād only just thought this when a slender white hand appeared right in front of him, seemingly out of nowhere.
Shit!Ā Mo Qing inwardly cried out, waved his palm, and tried to block.
He felt an agonizing pain in his right wrist. Flesh and bone shattered with a spray of blood. His entire right arm had been ripped to shreds.
A fair, white hand gripped him by the throat!
It was only then that Mo Qing saw clearly: the young man in blue he saw as a ālittle punkā had long since appeared right in front of him.
The young manās gaze was calm and distant.
Mo Qing could even see his own terrified, pallid face reflected in Su Yiās pupils.
He felt an intense pain in his throat; his neck had been shattered. Everything went blank, and all awareness left him. His head lolled limply to the side.
āSilverfur Rat meat isnāt tastyā¦.ā Su Yi muttered before tossing Mo Qingās corpse to the side.
When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
When it landed on the ground, Fu Yunkong, whoād been preparing to attack, couldnāt help but laugh bitterly.
Had he attacked, killing a Spiritual Incarnation Realm yao cultivator like that would have taken quite a bit of time.
Yet against Su Yi, Mo Qing was as fragileĀ as paperĀ mache!
The other experts present couldnāt help but break out in cold sweats.
Especially Song Changhe. Just watching sent a chill down his spine. He was increasingly aware of just how fortunate he was that heād left his fight with Su Yi alive.
This was Su Yiās first time killing someone since arriving at the Cloud Terrace Assembly.
Heād crushed a Spiritual Manifestation Realm yao cultivator as easily as if he were an ant. Watching this, Lan Suoās eyes widened, and she was rooted to the spot. āThisā¦ā
āDammit! Thereās something not right about that guy!ā
āHow could Dharma Protector Mo Qing just die like that?ā
ā¦.A series of startled cries emanated from the sea of clouds.
The yao cultivators had already gotten in formation, but now, all of them were flabbergasted, astonished, and enraged.
Shuo Meng and the curly-bearded elder were locked in vicious combat with Meng Jinghai and Gu Shandu, but their expressions changed too.
There was no doubt about it; theyād mistaken their judgment!
That young Gathering Stars Realm cultivator was obviously a deeply hidden expert!
āA Gathering Stars Realm cultivator killing Spiritual Manifestation Realm experts? Since when did such a heaven-defying figure exist in the Great Qin?ā
The Molten Gold Lion watched from not far away. It shook its head, its enormous eyes full of astonishment.
The Gathering Stars Realm and Spiritual Manifestation Realm were of two different Daos; they were as far apart as the mud and the clouds. It was a typically insurmountable barrier.
This had been common knowledge since the ancient era!
Yet now, in the remote, tiny little Great Qin, there existed a Gathering Stars cultivator capable of crossing Daos to slay Spiritual Manifestation Realm existence!
Although the Molten Gold Lion didnāt know it, back in the Great Xiaās Nine Tripod City, Su Yi had killed quite a few Spiritual Manifestation cultivators even as an Origin palace cultivatorā¦.
A lustrous, jade-like hand silently tugged on a corner of the ornate carriageās curtains.
There was no doubt about it. The people inside were alarmed too!
