Chapter 144:Unstoppable Momentum

Ghost Corpse Worms!

Hundreds and thousands of grotesque creatures emitted piercing screeches resembling ghostly wails and wolf howls, sweeping through the void.

Zhang Yiren drew his battle sword.

Chen Zheng snorted coldly, his sleeves fluttering as thunderous sounds echoed.

At the same time, a green bamboo staff quietly appeared in Su Yi's palm.

Clang!

With a flick of his thumb, the sword was pushed out of its sheath.

As Su Yi's wrist turned, the faint blue blade suddenly rose.

In an instant, countless cold lights flashed, like streams of flowing radiance.

I have a sword that travels to all directions, reaching the ends of the earth and the depths of the underworld!

This is the "Wandering the Ten Directions" technique from the "Blissful Sword Scripture."

As the sword chant echoed, the overwhelming swarm of ghost corpse worms shattered in an instant, crushed to dust by the peerless sword qi.

Zhu Guqing's clear eyes narrowed. What a mysterious sword technique!

Moreover, Su Yi's actions surprised her. Could it be that he was not a villain from the Yin Sha Sect?

Almost simultaneously, Zhu Guqing keenly noticed that after Blood Heng Daoist and his companions released the swarm of ghost corpse worms, they immediately fled towards the courtyard.

Whoosh!

Without hesitation, she swiftly moved to intercept them.

As soon as she made a move, she was like a swift white light, the sword in her hand singing like tides. A dazzling and radiant sword qi burst forth, piercing through the air, directly aimed at Blood Heng Daoist.

The Sword of Smoky Mist and Cold Soul!

Zhu Guqing's renowned sword technique, when displayed, was as splendid as smoky mist and ice, its sword qi bone-chilling, capable of instantly freezing the opponent's vitality and spirit.

"This woman finally understands. She's not too stupid," Chen Zheng muttered to himself.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred.

Zhu Guqing's sword was blocked midway by Su Yi, effortlessly shattering her sword's momentum.

"You!" Zhu Guqing grew angry, her face as cold as frost.

"Step aside, we'll settle the score later," Su Yi spoke as he swiftly charged forward, his Profound Unity Sword thrusting toward Blood Heng Daoist, who was attempting to escape over the wall.

A fierce light flashed in Blood Heng Daoist's eyes as he suddenly reached out his hand, grabbing Chu Silang beside him and viciously smashing him forward.

Chu Silang was terrified, shouting in anger, "Damn you..."

Splurt!

His figure was cleaved in half by a single sword, blood gushing out like a waterfall, and his angry curses came to an abrupt halt.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Blood Heng Daoist had already scaled the wall with Liu Xianglan.

But before they could take a few steps, a figure exuding an overwhelming aura of iron and blood blocked their path, like an insurmountable barrier!

"I said I would guard this gate for Su Gongzi," Chen Zheng pointed to the courtyard, his expression emotionless. "Step back!"

Blood Heng Daoist's face turned particularly ugly.

He turned around, intending to escape in another direction, but on that path, Zhu Guqing in her plain long robes was already approaching with her sword.

"Damn it!"

Blood Heng Daoist's face turned ashen, reaching out his hand to grab at one side, planning to use Liu Xianglan's life as a way to clear the way.

Little did he know that his plan would fail.

Instead, Liu Xianglan, frightened like a startled rabbit, fled towards Chen Zheng not far away, angrily cursing, "I knew you, old scum, are no good!"

"Lord Chen, I admit defeat. Whether to live or die, I leave it to your discretion!" Liu Xianglan exclaimed as she dropped to her knees in front of Chen Zheng, tears streaming down her face, begging for mercy.

Chen Zheng's eyebrows furrowed.

In an instant, Blood Heng Daoist's heart turned cold.

But he dared not show the slightest neglect because Zhu Guqing was already closing in.

Clang!

Yet again, Su Yi intercepted Zhu Guqing's attack, causing her graceful figure to stagger and retreat a few steps in a somewhat disheveled manner.

Furious, she gritted her teeth, anger surging in her clear eyes, and rebuked, "Why do you hold such a grudge, you brat!?"

However, Blood Heng Daoist was ecstatic.

Taking advantage of this gap, he swiftly moved, leaping more than ten zhang away, utilizing all his techniques to escape for his life, regretting that his parents hadn't given him two more paths to choose from.

"The one I want to kill can only be killed by me," Su Yi spoke.

As he spoke, he rushed toward Blood Heng Daoist.

A grandmaster of his caliber could already fly through the air, moving like a bird in flight, agile like a nimble monkey.

They could even gather the true essence to sustain their body, lingering in the void for a short time.

When traveling through water, it was as if walking on level ground.

To catch up with a character of this caliber attempting to flee, only someone at the grandmaster level could accomplish it.

Although Su Yi's mastery of body movement was exquisite, he was not a grandmaster after all. His strength had not truly "transformed into Gang," so he couldn't fly through the air, and it was destined that he couldn't catch up.

But he had no intention of catching up in the first place.

"Hmph!"

Accompanied by a cryptic sound, it seemed as if thunder rumbled on level ground.

In that instant, Su Yi once again executed the profound essence of the Great Illusory Soul Sword Technique.

Dozens of zhang away, the figure of Blood Heng Daoist stumbled, a look of pain and astonishment appearing on his face.

However, he was still a grandmaster, and he cultivated secret techniques for the soul. Despite the sudden attack, he managed to withstand it.

Before Su Yi could get closer, Blood Heng Daoist madly fled once again.

"This old guy does have some tricks up his sleeve," Su Yi couldn't help but be amazed.

As he contemplated, his movements did not pause. He suddenly raised the Xuan Sword in his hand and threw it away.

Swish!

The Xuan Sword shot out like a streak of dazzling light, tearing through the air.

Blood Heng Daoist sensed the impending danger and hastily raised a bronze umbrella to shield himself.

Boom!

The bronze umbrella exploded.

The powerful impact shook Blood Heng Daoist's figure, leaving his face pale.

Before he could steady himself—

"Hmph!"

Another cryptic sound exploded.

Boom!

Blood Heng Daoist's head buzzed, as if struck by lightning, and his soul experienced a tearing pain. He couldn't help but let out a painful groan.

Even if he cultivated soul power and endured the consecutive attacks of the Great Illusory Soul Sword Technique?

His whole body seemed to go into convulsions, unable to control himself.

At that moment, Su Yi had already arrived, raising his hand and pressing down.

Crack!

Blood Heng Daoist's skull shattered.

"I... unwilling..." Blood Heng Daoist's eyes widened in anger as his body collapsed limply to the ground.

"No one is willing when facing death," Su Yi shook his head.

In the distance, Chen Zheng applauded and praised, "Su Gongzi, impressive tactics!"

This battle, although it only took a moment, had too many variables, such as the involvement of undead creatures, the intervention of Zhu Guqing, and so on.

Su Yi relied solely on his own strength to first eliminate the swarm of undead creatures, then kill Chu Silang as a scapegoat, and continuously disrupt Zhu Guqing's intervention twice. In the end, he managed to kill Blood Heng Daoist who had escaped from the encirclement!

This series of actions was swift and decisive, like a broken bamboo, leaving even Chen Zheng, who had experienced countless battles, wide-eyed and amazed.

At this point, he no longer doubted the fact that Su Yi had made the Chief of Qinghe Sword Mansion, Mu Cangtu, bow his head in surrender!

Zhu Guqing's beautiful face flickered with an indeterminate expression. She was both angry at being hindered by Su Yi twice in a row and shocked by the terrifying combat power displayed by a young boy in the early Qi Gathering realm.

Her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Su Yi, however, didn't think too much about it. If Blood Heng Daoist hadn't escaped so quickly, he could have killed him with a single sword strike without exerting so much effort.

"In the final analysis, my cultivation level restricts me, and body movement is currently my only weakness..."

While Su Yi was contemplating, he bent down to pick up the Xuan Sword on the ground.

Clang!

Suddenly, a thunderous sword hum resounded.

Chen Zheng and Zhu Guqing's faces changed at the same time, instinctively sensing an extremely dangerous aura.

Su Yi's figure also slightly stagnated, but then he quickly reacted, lifting the Xuan Sword to block in front of him.

Boom!!!

A dazzling and unmatched flying sword shot through the air and collided with the Xuan Sword. The power released by the flying sword shook Su Yi's figure, causing him to stagger and retreat several steps. Even his handsome face turned slightly pale.

He felt so uncomfortable that he almost spurted blood.

"I actually got injured..." Su Yi was somewhat surprised. His gaze turned cold and indifferent, experiencing this kind of embarrassment for the first time since his reincarnation.

The first time he suffered a hidden loss without being prepared!

How long had it been since he last felt this way?

Swoosh!

That seven-inch flying sword spun around and swiftly returned along the same path.

But Su Yi immediately recognized that it was a symbol sword treasure, not a genuine flying sword. It was most likely refined by a cultivator of the Primordial Dao, and its power could easily kill Martial Masters.

"Hmm?"

Outside the Hululu Alley, a surprised voice sounded. It seemed that they didn't expect Su Yi to be able to block that strike.

Whoosh!

Su Yi swiftly flew out of the alley.

A surge of killing intent filled his heart.

However, when he arrived outside the alley, he saw a bustling street filled with people coming and going. There was no trace of the enemy left.

"You may escape for now, but can you escape for a lifetime?"

Su Yi took a deep breath, gradually calming his mind.

"Su Gongzi, are you alright?"

Chen Zheng approached quickly. He felt a chill down his spine when he saw the attack that Su Yi had just endured, and he discerned the secret of the flying sword.

Su Yi shook his head calmly and said, "Just a cowardly rat that hides in the dark. It can't do anything to me."

Chen Zheng asked, "Did you recognize the origin of the attacker?"

Su Yi nodded and said, "I have a rough idea."

His state of mind had completely recovered, calm like an ancient well. He smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, there's no need to worry about such a trivial matter."

With that, he took a step towards his humble dwelling in Zhuo'an.

"A trivial matter? That's a symbol sword refined by a legendary cultivator. If it were an ordinary Martial Master, their head would have rolled already," Chen Zheng thought to himself.

In this moment, he realized the terror of Su Yi, the young man who had just resolved such a dangerous situation in a miraculous manner. Although it was somewhat embarrassing, it could already be considered a miracle.

After all, among all the Qi Gathering realm cultivators in the world, there were probably only a few who could withstand such an attack!

Zhu Guqing had been standing there all along. When she saw Su Yi approaching, she hesitated for a moment before offering a slight bow and saying, "I was too eager to kill the enemy earlier and misunderstood you. If I have offended you in any way, I hope you can understand."

After speaking, she felt a slight sense of shame. Her expression became unnatural, and a hint of embarrassment arose in her heart.

Su Yi glanced at this stunning woman with hair as white as snow, as cold as ice, and jokingly remarked, "I thought you were the kind of person who would never lower her head. I didn't expect you to apologize."

Zhu Guqing's beautiful face changed, and a trace of embarrassment flickered in her clear eyes. She had already apologized, yet this brat still had to tease her. It was truly excessive!

Meanwhile, Chen Zheng felt quite pleased and content seeing such a gorgeous iceberg-like woman in such an embarrassed state.

Chen Zheng spoke up to mediate, "No harm, no foul. In my opinion, since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, there's no need to hold grudges over such a trivial matter. Su Gongzi, what do you think?"

Su Yi casually replied, "Mr. Chen, there's no need to worry. I wouldn't stoop so low as to bicker with a woman over such a small issue. If I did, what would differentiate me from her?"

Zhu Guqing was taken aback, her clear eyes widening in disbelief. Her chest heaved with anger, and she almost couldn't control herself from swinging her sword at him.

This brat must have mastered a special technique to infuriate people to death!
