Chapter 291: Single-handedly Determining the Universe

Ning Xi'er turned her head to look at the moment--

She saw Su Yi rise from his cross-legged position in the void.

As he stood up, his previously withered and weak aura surged like a river after rain, steadily rising.

It was unstoppable.

When his figure stabilized, his cultivation soared to the Triple Nurturing Furnace Realm. His lungs boiled like a furnace, emanating an unparalleled golden spiritual radiance.

The Golden Elemental Spirit Dao Light!

At that moment, Su Yi's vitality surged, causing his green robe to billow and his entire body to exude unmatched strength.

Ning Xi'er's breath hitched.

The imposing aura that approached was unimaginable, something that a young expert at the Triple Nurturing Furnace Realm could possess!

At this moment, Su Yi's black eyes were calm as he stood in the void, and the power of his breakthrough exuded freely. His temperament became as sharp and dominant as an extraordinary sword.

"He broke through!?"

Not far away, Liao Yunliu, Wang Tu, and He Lianhai were all astonished, their expressions changing.

Previously, they dared to assassinate Su Yi without any reservation because he was refining pills and in his weakest state.

But now, Su Yi was no longer weak, and his cultivation had reached a whole new level!

After all, Su Yi's bloody achievements in the past were there for all to see. When Liao Yunliu and the others decided to deal with Su Yi, they didn't treat him as an ordinary expert at the Master Realm.

Now, Su Yi's breakthrough undoubtedly meant that the situation had changed!

Swoosh!

Su Yi extended his hand, and the Purple Sovereign Cauldron, several zhang tall, shrank to the size of a fist and fell into his palm.

Su Yi played with the Purple Sovereign Cauldron in his hand, his gaze sweeping over Liao Yunliu and the others, his words tinged with mockery. "Since I, Su, dared to refine pills here, how could I not leave some tricks up my sleeve?"

"You... anticipated that we would come?" Liao Yunliu said coldly, their faces filled with uncertainty.

"No," Su Yi sneered. "Throughout history, there have been four major taboos for cultivators in the world. The first is to have no one guarding while refining pills, the second is to be targeted while refining artifacts, the third is to have no forbidden array in the seclusion site, and the fourth is to be attacked by external enemies on the day of tribulation. I, Su, would not make foolish mistakes in these matters."

Liao Yunliu and the others frowned. Four major taboos for cultivators? It was the first time they had heard of it...

"What nonsense! This boy is clearly trying to buy time! Seize the opportunity while he just broke through and his realm is unstable! Attack now!!"

In the distance, Lü Dongliu, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Mu Xi, roared like thunder.

Liao Yunliu and the other three exchanged glances and immediately launched their attacks without hesitation.

Clang!

Wang Tu held a three-foot-long Qingfeng Sword and was the first to strike. The sword hummed magnificently, and sword qi surged, demonstrating his extraordinary swordsmanship.

Melody of Gentle Breeze!

As one of the top ten Innate Martial Masters, the head of the Jixia Academy, he unleashed his hidden killing move without reservation.

At the same time, He Lianhai let out a roar, resembling a lion or tiger. His skinny figure suddenly became huge and powerful, his hardened skin bursting out of his clothes, as if it was forged from solid rock. His aura also surged.

The Power of Dragon and Elephant!

Boom!

He Lianhai swung his red war spear, like a fierce god going into battle, unleashing a torrent of crimson and violent edge.

Liao Yunliu's figure flickered, like a lightning bolt, gracefully leaping in the void. The bright Dao sword in his hand rose sharply.

Swish!

A ten-zhang long, radiant silver sword qi soared through the air, slashing down!

Reverse Light Sword Strike!

At this moment, the three prominent figures at the Innate Martial Master Realm displayed their killing moves.

"Let me handle this."

Seeing that Ning Xi'er was still going to fight, Su Yi reached out and grabbed her delicate shoulder, placing her behind him.

Almost at the same time--

He flicked his left hand.

Boom!

A golden power surged out like a sharp sword edge, carrying a mysterious Dao rhythm, shining brightly like the morning glow.

Boom!

Wang Tu's "Melody of Gentle Breeze" was sharp and elegant, displaying a supreme prowess, but faced with Su Yi's flick, it instantly exploded into pieces.

Amidst the burst of light, the three-foot-long Qingfeng Sword in Wang Tu's hand was sent flying, and he himself was thrown backward as if hit by an ancient wild ox, ultimately falling more than ten zhang away, suffering heavy injuries.

Pfft!

Even in mid-air, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, severely wounded.

"Die!"

Facing the crimson spear light unleashed by He Lianhai, Su Yi extended a hand as white as jade.

This hand was slender and fair, faintly shimmering with golden light, as if it was carved from beautiful jade. As Su Yi turned his hand over, a tremendous sound erupted in the void, as if a divine being had lifted a primordial mountain and smashed it down.

Boom!

A gigantic golden palm imprint, measuring three zhang in length, descended from the sky and fiercely struck down.

In front of this hand that resembled a divine being, even He Lianhai, who had become larger and more formidable, appeared small and weak.

"Give way!"

He Lianhai shouted loudly, forcefully thrusting his blood-colored war spear.

However, his power, which was enough to pierce through mountains, only made the golden palm imprint tremble slightly before it continued to press down.

The red war spear was forcefully bent and eventually snapped into two with a crisp explosion.

He Lianhai's pupils contracted, and he roared madly, stomping his feet on the ground. His muscles swelled and his skin pulsated with raging blood, exuding a fierce and violent power.

However, in the shocked gaze of Ning Xi'er--

Su Yi's golden hand simply pressed down, regardless of He Lianhai's furious roaring, his activation of secret techniques, or even his burning of essence blood. None of it could shake the hand in the slightest.

Boom!!

In the end, He Lianhai was forcefully smashed onto the ground, and with a series of bone-cracking sounds, the ground was left with a blurry mass of flesh and blood, no longer discernible as He Lianhai's appearance.

A prominent figure who ranked among the top ten Innate Martial Masters in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the renowned Palace Master of Shuiyue Academy, was actually killed by this palm!!

Ning Xi'er couldn't help but gasp, her face filled with shock.

One flick of the hand severely injured Wang Tu.

One slap crushed He Lianhai!!

These events happened almost in the blink of an eye, so fast that it was unimaginable, yet the impact they caused was like a storm, assaulting Ning Xi'er's mind.

Only then did she realize that for them, Su Yi's cultivation breakthrough was merely a step forward.

But for Su Yi himself, such a breakthrough had probably brought about an unprecedented transformation in his strength!

At this moment, Liao Yunliu had already unleashed the "Reverse Light Sword Strike" and was pressing close!

That ten-zhang sword qi was dazzlingly sharp, slicing through the void and leaving a straight crack.

Su Yi raised his eyes slightly and tapped his fingers.

Casually.

Yet this seemingly light finger was like a massive hammer wielded by a deity, fiercely slamming into the ten-zhang sword qi. With a loud bang, the sword qi exploded in the void, dispersing like rain.

Liao Yunliu's face changed dramatically.

While her figure was still in mid-air, she suddenly twisted and violently retreated towards the back, displaying an incredibly quick reaction.

"Come here."

Su Yi reached out his hand and grabbed it across space.

In an instant, Liao Yunliu, who was more than ten zhang away, felt as if she was tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand, unable to escape no matter how she struggled.

Finally, like an uncontrollable insect, she was grabbed in front of Su Yi.

"Her fate is up to you to deal with."

Su Yi threw Liao Yunliu in front of Ning Xi'er.

Ning Xi'er, without any hesitation, swung the Green Flame Crescent Moon Halberd and beheaded Liao Yunliu.

Blood sprayed.

This Elder Liao Yunliu of the Hidden Dragon Sword Sect met her end in the field, with her eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Thank you for helping me fulfill my wish, fellow Daoist."

Ning Xi'er smiled at Su Yi, her beautiful and innocent face blooming like a flower after the rain.

Before, it was Liao Yunliu who had struck her back with a sword, leaving a bloody and bone-deep sword scar.

Su Yi's actions were obviously considerate of her feelings, allowing her to personally vent her anger.

"No need to be polite, there's no need to be so distant in the future."

Su Yi said, his gaze looking into the distance.

One sentence made Ning Xi'er's heart tremble, realizing that her reckless action just now seemed to have gained Su Yi's complete approval...

"Let's go!"

In the distance, Lu Dongliu, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Mu Xi, shouted loudly.

Wang Tu, Liao Yunliu, and He Lianhai were all dead, with no room for counterattack. The bloody scenes had already been witnessed by Lu Dongliu, causing him to shudder in horror, a chill running down his spine. How could he dare to hesitate?

Boom!

He swung his sleeves as if he were desperate, breaking free from Mu Xi's entanglement with a punch. At the same time, he crushed a jade talisman in his left hand.

Bang!

A black smoke enveloped his figure, and in an instant, he disappeared from his original position.

Similarly, Li Cang, who was engaged in a fight with Lan Suo, followed suit, crushing a jade talisman and disappearing under the cover of black smoke.

"Concealment talisman? Useless."

Su Yi shook his head slightly.

He formed hand seals in his hands, and suddenly, the "Vajra Demon-Sealing Formation" began to operate. A torrent of golden Buddha light surged out from the statues of Buddhas, covering the entire underground world.

Boom!

In the southeast direction, three hundred zhang away, there was a loud explosion as Lu Dongliu was struck by a wave of golden light, staggering backward.

Lu Dongliu was horrified and shouted in a stern voice, "Su Yi, by killing me, you're declaring war against the Hidden Dragon Sword Sect. Can you bear the consequences?!"

Boom!

Before his voice had even finished echoing, his figure was covered by rolling golden flames, instantly turning into ashes scattered in the air.

This kind of threat clearly couldn't make Su Yi concerned.

Soon, Li Cang's figure was forced out. He was the Elder of the Outer Sect of the Hidden Dragon Sword Sect, with white hair and a kind expression. But at this moment, he was panicked and terrified, shouting desperately, "I surrender! I hope Young Master Su will spare me..."

Before he could finish his words, a rain of Buddha fire poured down, reducing him to ashes.

Witnessing these scenes, Wang Tu, who had planned to escape, collapsed and lay paralyzed on the ground, his spirit crushed.

Previously, this elegant and confident Palace Master of Jixia Academy had attacked Su Yi with a black elemental sword talisman, intending to take advantage of the situation.

But now, he was pitiful and wretched, worse off than a dog.

"I thought your father, Su Hongli, was likely a possessed old monster, but now it seems that as his son, you are the one who resembles an old monster..."

At this moment, Wang Tu let out a sigh of resignation.

These words startled Ning Xi'er and the others.

Su Hongli was likely possessed?

Su Yi raised an eyebrow but had no intention of further inquiring. He manipulated the formation and killed Wang Tu, leaving no trace behind.

Whether Su Hongli was possessed or not was irrelevant.

Once they reached Yujing City, all debts and grievances would be settled!
