nThe hall fell deathly silent.
nAstonishment swept through the hall like an avalanche or tidal wave, churning every heart present.
nOver a dozen Universe Realm Immortals had died brutal deaths, just like that. This bloody scene left everyone visibly stricken.
nLiang 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.

nIt was easy to imagine how great a shock it all was.
nOnly Fang Han and Xue Hongfeng remained calm. This wasn’t enough to surprise those who’d witnessed Su Yi’s abilities before.
n“You’re seeking death!”
nElder Liang Ming roared in fury and charged at Su Yi.
nSu Yi didn’t even look at him. He just stretched out his finger and tapped the air.
nBang!
nLiang Ming’s body split into pieces in midair, spraying the ground with a waterfall of blood and chunks of flesh.
nThe distant onlookers were horrified. Liang Ming had been a peak Void Realm True Immortal, yet he still fell to a single hit!
nLiang Zhibei, Liang Yunhu, and the other higher-ups were stunned. Their expressions were instantly incomparably unsightly.
n“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.
nSu 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.”
nWith that, he approached Liang Zhibei and said, “All I want is your head; it’ll be the second wedding gift I give today.”
nSo, the second ‘wedding gift’ Senior Su spoke of was Family Head Liang’s head! Fang Han’s heart shook at the revelation.
nLiang 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!’”
nBoom!
nHis 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.
nThe 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!
nGrand Elder Liang Yunhu suddenly said, “Young man, dare you fight me outside?”
n“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.
nWhen they saw this, the ordinary Liang clansmen and attendees sighed in relief.
nA moment later, all of them hurriedly left the hall.
n……
nOutside the venue, the sky above Mount Huang Liang. Immortal qi rose into the air.
nSu 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.
nWhoosh!
nGrand Elder Liang Yunhu took to the air and arrived beneath the dome of heaven.
nAll eyes were instantly upon him.
n“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?”
n“He isn’t. When he attacked earlier, he revealed his cultivation base. He’s only in the Universe Realm!”
n“What? A Universe Realm Immortal? Since when were Universe Realm Immortals so heaven-defying?”
nThe guests were naturally discussing Su Yi.
n“Even if he were stronger, he’d be doomed to die today!”
n“This is the Liang Family’s territory!”
nThe experts of the Liang Family had dark expressions on their faces, and they gnashed their teeth with fury.
nLiang Wenyu, Fang Yourong, and Fang Han clustered together. Xue Hongfeng was watching over them.
nThe bride and groom had looks of deep concern and unease on their faces.
n“Big Sister, don’t be afraid! Senior Su is sure to win!” Fang Han said comfortingly.
nFang 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?
nXue Hongfeng seemed to realize what she was thinking. He couldn’t help but chuckle and shake his head, but he said nothing.
nMeanwhile, beneath the dome of heaven——
nWhen 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.”
nLiang Yunhu said expressionlessly, “It won’t be too late to boast after you’ve defeated me!”
nBefore his voice had even finished echoing through the air, he attacked.
nGlittering purple Immortal Lord Laws shot forth, intertwining into a hand so massive as to blot out the sun. It descended upon Su Yi.
nHow terrifying was the attack of an Immortal Lord?
nHeaven and earth trembled, and the endless sea of clouds collapsed as the skies descended into chaos.
nTerrifying majesty spread outward. Heaven and earth changed color.
nAn attack like that could slay anyone beneath the Immortal Lord level with ease. It was terrifying to the extreme.
nSu Yi casually stretched his back.
nWhoosh!
nWithin 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.
nForceful, 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.
nStartled cries resounded throughout the venue.
nEarlier, Su YI had seemed entirely unassuming and unexceptional.
nNow, it was as if an unrivaled god of the sword had descended into their midst, gazing contemptuously down upon the nine heavens!
nBoom!
nAs that massive hand descended, Su Yi laughed dryly and swung his fist.
nIt 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!
nIt then continued ahead, crushing everything in its wake, its power entirely undiminished. It was headed right toward Liang Yunhu.
nLiang Yunhu’s pupils constricted. He waved his hand in an attempt to stop it.
nBut 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.
nHis aged face alternated white and green; it obviously didn’t feel good.
nThe crowd was in uproar. One punch, and a Universe Realm Immortal forced an Immortal Lord back!?
nEven the Immortal Lords among the attendees were scared. Where did this heaven-defying monster come from?
nLiang 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!
n“Go!” Beneath the dome of heaven, Liang Yunhu bellowed. Sixteen flying swords whooshed through the air.
nThe stars flashed overhead, illuminating the mountains and rivers.
nIn 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.
nEven just watching from afar made them feel prickling pain in their souls, and they almost couldn’t breathe.
n“Playing with swords in front of me?” Su Yi chuckled, then waved his sleeves and raised his right hand into the air.
n“All swords beneath their heavens take me as their sovereign. In front of me, all shall bow!”
nEvery word was like the humming of a sword echoing throughout the nine heavens.
nTerrifying, unrivaled sword force emanated from Su Yi.
nEveryone 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.
nThey were like ministers before a sovereign, bowing their heads in submission!
nThe dense, clear humming of swords filled heaven and earth, one after another. The sound echoed throughout the nine heavens and the ten earths.
nThe 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.
nLiang Yunhu paled. He was both alarmed and furious.
nHe 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.
nYet even as he used his full power, he felt that he was losing control over his flying swords!
nThe 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?
n“Go!” Su Yi waved his sleeves.
nClang! Clang! Clang!
nThe 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.
nThis 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.
nLiang Yunhu’s eyes bulged. As an Immortal Lord of the Dao of the Sword, how could he not understand what this implied?
nHe roared in fury, and moved his hands as if performing Tai Qi. His sword intent spread out, connecting heaven and earth.
nImmeasurably dense sword mountains shot through the air.
nThere were nine in total. They obscured the light of the heavens, like nine natural barriers severing the skies!
nTogether, they suppressed everything on all sides, separating heaven and earth.
nThis technique was called Vertical Severing!
nThis 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.
nA 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.
nBut 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.
nAll 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.
nBoom!
nThe first sword cleaved into the mountains.
nAll nine shook, and explosive, destructive power swept outward.
nLiang 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!
nBefore he could react, the other fifteen flying swords descended.
nBoom!
nA dense series of sword hums rang out. Every slash was heavy, forceful, and tyrannical.
nIn the blink of an eye, the nine sword mountains of Vertical Severing split. A fierce current of sword qi swept throughout heaven and earth.
nEveryone watching felt a prickling pain in their eyes, and their hearts filled with panic. This clash was far too terrifying!
nBy the time the dust settled, the nine sword mountains had ceased to exist.
nSixteen flying swords hovered before Liang Yunhu.
nThe 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!”
nHe 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!”
nHis voice boomed throughout heaven and earth.
nA 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.
nDestroyed, body and soul.
nThe wails of his sixteen flying swords shook the heavens.
n
