Chapter 218: Sword Sovereign Over a Hundred Zhang Clouds

"Sixth Prince, aren't you worried that Su Yi's brutal actions will bring you endless trouble?" Kang Shanjing coldly looked at Zhou Zhili, "If the Emperor finds out that you let your people run amok and cause chaos in Gunzhou City, how do you think he will view you?"

After condemning Su Yi, Kang Shanjing now warned Zhou Zhili, evidently believing that Su Yi dared to kill because he was allowed to do so by Zhou Zhili.

Zhou Zhili was momentarily stunned, but soon burst into laughter in anger. "What does today's tea gathering have to do with you, a member of the Hidden Dragon Sword Sect? Who do you think you are to lecture me and Su Brother?"

Su Yi let out a light sigh. "Why waste words on a dying man?"

Clang!

The sound of swords resonated.

Su Yi's wrist turned, and his Yuxuan Sword unleashed a rainbow-like arc, slashing towards Kang Shanjing from a distance.

It was swift and decisive.

Kang Shanjing felt caught off guard.

Previously, he had confidently spoken, believing that with his identity, he could make Su Yi restrain himself to some extent.

Who would have thought that Su Yi wouldn't waste time and directly attack!

However, Kang Shanjing was also a worthy successor of the Hidden Dragon Sword Sect. He reacted swiftly, immediately drawing a broad and mighty sword to block in front of him.

Clang!

The giant sword trembled, sparks flying as a daunting crack appeared on its blade.

The terrifying impact of spiritual energy caused Kang Shanjing's old face to turn red, and he couldn't help but be shocked. He immediately shouted loudly, "Everyone, if we don't take action now, when will we?!"

Xiang Tianqiu and the others had already realized that the situation was unfavorable, but they hesitated to take action together.

The son of a rich family cannot afford to lose his social status.

Moreover, even if they acted together, they still wouldn't stand a chance against Su Yi.

Haven't you seen that even someone as powerful as Qin Changshan, who was a Grandmaster at the Fifth Level, was defeated here?

"Let's go!"

Xiang Tianqiu shouted, turning around and rushing down the western mountain.

The others' eyes brightened, and as the gathering of heroes descended towards the foot of the mountain, as long as they could escape from this mountaintop, there was no need to worry about finding a way out.

Splash!

These top figures of Gunzhou City immediately set off, intending to flee towards the mountaintop.

Kang Shanjing was dumbfounded. He had intended to join Xiang Tianqiu and the others in taking action, but he never expected that these guys would run faster than anyone else!

Even Zhou Zhili and the others were left speechless. Who could believe that these old fellows who had just been imposing moments ago would become so spineless?

Seeing this, Su Yi couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Can they really escape?

Clang!

He took a deep breath, and the Yuxuan Sword in his hand emitted a clear hum. Mysterious and profound runes appeared on the blade, outlining the aura of the "Gathering Profound" command.

As Su Yi thrust his sword forward.

Boom!

The vast and boundless sea of clouds around the mountaintop suddenly boiled and surged, as if being pulled by an invisible mighty force, madly rushing towards Su Yi's Yuxuan Sword. It was majestic and grand, like the waters of the Milky Way pouring in reverse. The sound was thunderous, resembling muffled thunder.

Countless people at the foot of the mountain were shocked.

In their sight, the sunlight in the sky was suddenly blocked, and the cloud sea within a radius of hundreds of zhang was seemingly grabbed by an invisible hand, surging towards the mountaintop of the western peak.

The thunderous roar resounded through the heavens and earth.

"This..."

"Could it be that an immortal from the land has intervened?"

"Oh, my God!"

A clamor arose, leaving many people stunned.

Even the knowledgeable Hua Yan and Eagle Elder couldn't help but be moved.

In this world, only the immortals from the land possessed the ability to move mountains, fill the sea, and control the power of wind, thunder, earth, and fire.

And the scene before them was no different from the methods of the land immortals!

However, who could have caused such a terrifying phenomenon?

On the mountaintop.

Zhou Zhili and the others were also dumbfounded, involuntarily recalling the scenes where Su Yi had summoned a torrential rain to kill enemies in the Qingding Drill Ground of Yunhe County.

Chang Guoke remembered the scene where Su Yi drank the thunder from a hundred zhang away and killed the enemy in the desolate wilderness.

And at this moment, Su Yi was controlling a hundred-zhang sea of clouds with his sword, just like a divine being!

Xiang Tianqiu, who had turned around to flee first, had just rushed to the side of the mountain road when he was struck by a torrential flow of dense clouds as heavy as a mountain.

Bang!

As if a giant mountain had crushed him, he was sent flying, and countless bones in his body shattered.

"Damn..."

Xiang Tianqiu was greatly horrified, struggling to get up. But with a flash of a sword, his throat was pierced through, and his eyes bulged round.

In his dying moments, he saw a glimpse of a green robe disappearing in the clouds.

"Break for me!"

On the other side, Yu Baiting roared angrily, wielding a green battle halberd and striking at the approaching thick clouds.

However, those clouds, seemingly ethereal but actually dense and heavy, descended with lightning speed, like meteorites falling from the sky.

In the blink of an eye, Yu Baiting, a master, was forced to retreat continuously, and his whole person was about to be submerged by the clouds.

"How could this be..."

Yu Baiting was completely panicked, his face filled with shock and anger.

It was just a tea gathering, a power struggle at best.

Who could have imagined that even in their surrender, Su Yi had no intention of letting them go?

"Debts are repaid by children, if you die, your daughter doesn't have to die. Wouldn't that be a better outcome?"

A calm voice suddenly echoed in the white sea of clouds and mist.

Yu Baiting's body suddenly tensed up, and an indescribable panic surged within him.

He couldn't even see where Su Yi's figure was.

"Su Yi, I surrender! I'm willing to serve you as my master. As long as you spare me, I can offer all the power of my Yu family to you!"

Yu Baiting shouted in a trembling voice.

Splurt!

While his voice was still echoing, a sword blade had already pierced through his neck, and blood sprayed like a waterfall.

The sea of clouds on the mountaintop surged, seemingly completely sealed off. Within it, there was nothing but a vast expanse of white, with no other scenery visible.

Occasionally, there would be a piercing scream, sending chills down one's spine.

Until the clouds dissipated.

Zhou Zhili's pupils suddenly dilated.

In different areas of the mountaintop, one corpse after another lay horizontally.

Kang Shanjing's head rolled off, with a lingering look of horror on his face. He probably couldn't even imagine how Su Yi dared to kill him.

Governor Xiang Tianqiu, Yu Baiting, Zhao Qing, Bai Hanhai, and the county magistrate of Huai'an County all died a violent death on the spot, some with their throats pierced, others with their heads severed.

Not far away, Su Yi stood with his green robe and sword, as calm as ever.

Threads of mist lingered around his tall figure, under the dazzling sunlight, this seventeen-year-old youth seemed like an exiled immortal, enveloped in a mysterious and awe-inspiring aura.

Zhou Zhili, Zheng Tianhe, Mu Zhongting, Chang Guoke, Qing Jin, all fell silent, their hearts in turmoil, unable to remain calm.

Even Tea Jin was entranced, her eyes seemingly stuck on Su Yi, her beautiful face filled with infatuation.

"Do you see it? When your strength is strong enough, no matter what intrigues and tricks there are, a single sword strike can resolve it."

Su Yi turned around and looked at Zhou Zhili.

Zhou Zhili trembled all over, respectfully bowing and saluting, clasping his fists. "I thank Brother Su for helping me in today's matter. I will never forget such great kindness in my entire life!"

His voice was filled with heartfelt gratitude, trembling with excitement.

Mu Zhongting also quickly bowed and paid his respects. "Young Master Su, your actions today were astonishing. If you ever need anything, I, Mu Zhongting, will go through fire and water for you!"

Su Yi said, "Aren't you worried that by killing these people, I'll bring calamities upon you?"

Zhou Zhili gritted his teeth. "Victor overcomes the vanquished. They were formidable in life, but now they are all dead! Whether it's the Yu, Xue, Zhao, and Bai families, or the forces behind Xiang Tianqiu, I will bear the responsibility of seeking revenge!"

The commotion caused this time was indeed too great.

It shook Zhou Zhili to the core, making him realize that in the days to come, a tremendous storm was bound to arise.

But he had no retreat left, he had to face it!

"Brother Su, because of my involvement in this matter, you have become enemies with the Su family of Yujing City, and it's highly likely that many forces will be keeping an eye on you. I..."

Zhou Zhili expressed his concerns.

Su Yi waved his hand and interrupted, "The worldly affairs are like fleeting clouds to me. Don't bother mentioning these boring matters that disturb one's peace of mind."

Zhou Zhili was immediately at a loss for words.

Su Yi suddenly shifted his gaze into the distance and said, "Have you seen enough?"

Everyone in the scene was startled and subconsciously followed Su Yi's gaze.

Screech!

A clear cry resounded as an extraordinarily majestic green-scaled eagle swept out from the distant sea of clouds. Its dazzling iron-like wings shimmered in the sunlight.

On its back were two figures.

One was Ning Sihua, the young-looking Palace Master of Tianyuan Academy.

The other was a slender man wearing a silver python robe, with a feathered crown on his head, and his figure as straight as a spear.

In just a blink of an eye, the green-scaled eagle gracefully landed at the peak of the Western Mountain.

"I knew I couldn't hide from Brother Dao's perception."

Ning Sihua completely ignored the other people present and smiled at Su Yi as she spoke.

"Shen Ji Song, greetings to Young Master Su."

The man in the python robe and feathered crown smiled and approached, respectfully saluting with clasped fists.

"So, he is the Cloudlight Marquis, Shen Ji Song, who controls the Crimson Scale Army and is stationed within the boundaries of Gunzhou..."

Tea Jin showed a sudden realization.

As one of the eighteen external marquises of Da Zhou, the Cloudlight Marquis was undoubtedly a renowned figure throughout the world.

His military achievements were outstanding, his tactics were impeccable. If judged solely based on military exploits, he could easily rank among the top five among the eighteen external marquises!

As for his own cultivation, he had been a transcendent master for many years. However, there were divergent opinions regarding his current strength in the outside world.

In the past ten years, Shen Ji Song had rarely made a personal move, but without a doubt, as a person of his caliber, he was far beyond an ordinary transcendent master.

Yet now, such a marquis who commanded the formidable Crimson Scale Army and had a renowned reputation, took the initiative to approach and salute Su Yi!

This made Tea Jin also feel a sense of honor.

Almost simultaneously, Zheng Tianhe quickly reminded Zhou Zhili in a low voice, informing him of Ning Sihua's identity.

Zhou Zhili's heart trembled, he took a deep breath, and saluted, "Greetings, Palace Master Ning, and greetings, Marquis Shen."

Chang Guoke, Qing Jin, and Mu Zhongting also realized the situation, they exchanged glances, and couldn't help but be surprised.

They hadn't expected that the most mysterious Palace Master Ning Sihua of Tianyuan Academy and the Cloudlight Marquis would appear together.

And from the looks of it, it seemed that the two had been silently observing the battle for quite some time!
