Chapter 339: Sword's Arrival

Su Hongli was defeated?

Everyone witnessed it with their own eyes. From the beginning of the battle, Su Hongli was continuously suppressed by Su Yi.

No matter how powerful the secret techniques he displayed were, Su Yi shattered them effortlessly.

What chilled people even more was the terrifying power of Su Hongli's manipulation of the surrounding void. However, Su Yi managed to shatter the entire celestial energy, causing Su Hongli to be exposed in his true form!

Silent River, Yun Zhongqi, and other legendary figures felt their minds shaken, their expressions fluctuating.

There was no doubt that although Su Hongli had just broken through and stepped onto the path of the Elemental Dao, the depth of his understanding, his strength, and even the secret techniques and combat methods he employed far surpassed cultivators like You Tianhong, who had reached the complete Opening Aperture realm.

Yet, even in such a situation, Su Hongli was still not Su Yi's match!

This was truly terrifying!

You Qingzhi, Su Boning, and everyone from the Su family were stunned, their faces pale.

Before, when Su Hongli displayed his overwhelming might, they were extremely excited, thinking that in today's battle, they would easily eliminate this wicked son Su Yi and spread the reputation of the Su family throughout the three nations of Da Zhou, Da Wei, and Da Qin.

Who would have expected...

Su Hongli seemed to have been defeated!!

Even the distant spectators were left dumbfounded, their minds blank with shock.

In their eyes, this battle that took place in the mortal realm was no different from the legendary battles of gods and immortals. The strength of Su Hongli was truly awe-inspiring.

And the combat power displayed by Su Yi with his Grandmaster realm cultivation left people in disbelief!

"We won?"

At this moment, Mu Xi, Pu Yi, and others couldn't help but feel excited.

King Yuliang, Moon Poem, and King Ge Changling of the Swallowing Sea were also moved, their emotions in turmoil, unable to remain calm.

Chang Guo Guest grinned widely, filled with uncontrollable joy.

Qing Qin's expression was complex, repeatedly losing focus.

True Firepine's eyebrows furrowed tightly, his face gloomy.

"Su Hongli's cultivation and foundation are both remarkable, far beyond the comparison of ordinary cultivators. He must have inherited the ancient legacy of a great power to possess such extraordinary combat power upon breaking through. However... when it comes to the confrontation with Su Yi, he falls significantly behind."

Sage Yun Lang sighed inwardly.

Among those present, only characters at his level could discern some clues.

Speaking of the confrontation, what was truly terrifying was Su Yi!

He, at the fifth stage of the Grandmaster realm, completely suppressed Su Hongli from beginning to end!

The martial arts he displayed transcended the mundane, even more profound and powerful than the secret techniques mastered by the terrestrial immortals, as if a celestial being was performing a martial arts demonstration!

Especially the final strike, majestic and awe-inspiring, as if chaos itself, defying the heavens and annihilating the Dao. Even Sage Yun Lang couldn't find words to describe that strike.

If one were to insist, it would be:

Unparalleled!

It seemed that any secret technique in the world appeared feeble and pale before that strike!

However, Sage Yun Lang also noticed that it was premature to discuss victory or defeat, despite Su Hongli suffering heavy blows.

The world fell silent.

The gazes of the terrestrial immortals were fixed on the bottom of the giant pit, closely observing the figure dripping with blood.

Su Yi stood with his hands behind his back, motionless in the void, only his gaze fixed on the elder in the Daoist robe standing in front of the Su family's gate, as if lost in thought.

At this moment—

Whoosh!

A figure covered in blood suddenly shot up into the sky, revealing the figure of Su Hongli.

His clothes were tattered, wounds covered his body, and his aura was weakened, as if he were about to die.

However, Su Hongli didn't seem to care at all. His eyes were indifferent and terrifying as he gazed at Su Yi from a distance and said, "It seems that that bitch Ye Yufei left quite a few good things for you, this bastard!"

His voice was filled with intense hatred.

Evidently, he attributed the strength displayed by Su Yi to Ye Yufei.

Su Yi couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't be bothered to explain and said, "Previously, I fought you with my own cultivation, and you couldn't handle it. When you used the celestial energy, you still couldn't handle it. Now, it's time for you to bring out your trump card, right?"

He had been waiting for this moment.

"Since it has come to this, how can I not fulfill you, this bastard?" Su Hongli replied. In the eyes of everyone, he--

With a breath, the surging celestial energy rushed into his body like a torrential river. In the end, it formed a vast storm of celestial energy, resembling a mighty dragon ascending into the sky.

Within a radius of ten miles, the colors of heaven and earth changed!

And on Su Hongli's body, the visible injuries rapidly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even more astonishing, his appearance seemed to have become much younger, exuding a youthful vigor and a powerful aura!

"This..."

The entire venue was shaken, as if witnessing an unimaginable miracle.

Even the terrestrial immortals were left dumbfounded. What kind of secret technique was this? It had the miraculous effect of rebirth and rejuvenation, like returning to youth!

Su Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, a look of realization appearing on his face as he said, "So that's it. This is your trump card?"

His gaze shifted towards the entrance of the Su family's gate, landing on the Daoist-robed elder.

Then, something happened—

As Su Hongli's injuries healed, and he became young and vigorous, the aura of the Daoist-robed elder continuously diminished. His black hair, beard, and eyebrows turned pure white.

In the end, even his skin became dull and lifeless, and his eyes clouded over.

It was as if Su Hongli had silently stolen the vitality and power of the Daoist-robed elder!

When everyone present witnessed this scene, their scalps went numb, and a chilling sensation ran down their spines. How could such a bizarre secret technique exist in this world?

It was terrifying!

Su Hongli let out a sigh and turned his head to look at the Daoist-robed elder, saying, "Senior, I apologize for not allowing you to witness the arrival of that magnificent era."

The Daoist-robed elder shook his head and clasped his hands, saying, "To be regarded as the Sword Nurturing Furnace by Your Excellency is my honor!"

Sword Nurturing Furnace?

Just as everyone was puzzled, Su Hongli suddenly took a deep breath and thundered with his voice:

"The sword is here!"

His voice echoed through the heavens, stirring up ripples in the world.

Clang!

Immediately after, a strand of sword chant emanated from within the Daoist-robed elder's body.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

One after another, unmatched and ferocious black sword lights spewed out from the Daoist-robed elder's nostrils, ears, eyes, and lips.

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, the entire body of the Daoist-robed elder emitted a black sword aura from within, completely unparalleled!

In the end, his entire body was riddled with wounds, and his flesh and bones shattered. Under the impact of the fierce black sword lights, he completely disintegrated into ashes and smoke!

This Daoist-robed elder, who had once effortlessly suppressed Mu Xi and others with a snap of his fingers, causing even Sage Yun Lang to dread him greatly, had actually died just like that...

Boom!

Before anyone could react, a black sword shadow shot out, its fierce sword aura soaring into the sky, causing the entire world to tremble.

It was a sword, pitch-black from hilt to tip, surging with a terrifying and sinister aura. Like a waterfall, it floated down, crushing the void beneath it.

In an instant, the air was filled with a terrifying and sinister presence that enveloped the heavens and earth.

The prominent figures among the terrestrial immortals couldn't maintain their composure anymore. Their faces turned pale as they quickly moved away from the scene, their previously unshakable figures wavering.

This sword was immensely dangerous, with boundless terror!

In the distance, all the spectators felt a darkness descend upon their eyes, as if their souls were plunged into a dark purgatory. Many of them were so frightened that they fainted on the spot.

Even figures like Yue Shi-chan and Ge Changling felt their bodies stiffen, their faces changing color. They experienced an indescribable chill and fear deep within their hearts.

The appearance of this sinister sword shook the entire scene with its mere presence!

No one had anticipated that Su Hongli's trump card would be so terrifying.

Clang!

Su Hongli reached out and grabbed the black sinister sword, which returned to his hand like a swallow returning to its nest.

Boom!

With that, his aura also underwent a transformation. His eyes emitted a divine light, fierce and demonic, turning the surrounding void into a purgatory of shadows.

"So, this is the sinister sword you took from the Nine Zhang Sword Mound in the Dark Luo Demon Mountain?" Su Yi's eyes flickered in the distant void, calmly as ever, but a hint of surprise appeared between his brows, seemingly unexpected.

"That's right," Su Hongli replied indifferently. "Over the past ten years in seclusion, I have dedicated most of my efforts to tempering this sword. Now, for you, this wretched child, to die under this sword, I consider it a fair trade."

Ten years.

He had been low-key and dormant, using the Daoist-robed elder as his Sword Nurturing Furnace, all for the sake of subduing this sinister sword and making it his own!

Originally, he intended to wait for the arrival of that magnificent era before wielding the sword and traversing the world.

However, Su Yi's arrival had forced him to reveal this trump card ahead of schedule.

The world fell into silence. The raging storm had ceased, leaving only the oppressive and terrifying aura that enveloped everything.

People looked at Su Hongli's demonic figure and were all shocked and stunned.

Even within the Su family, figures like You Qingzhi and Su Bonong were mesmerized and bewildered.

But Su Yi chuckled disdainfully, a hint of disappointment in his tone. He said, "Using the human body as a Sword Nurturing Furnace to subdue this sinister sword, such methods of the demonic cultivators are nothing more than mediocre."

His words were filled with contempt and disdain.

It wasn't that he looked down on the sinister sword, but rather he looked down on Su Hongli's sword nurturing technique.

The entire audience was astounded.

Everyone could hear the disdain in Su Yi's words and the slight disappointment in his indifferent tone.

Because of this, it was hard for people to believe that Su Hongli could subdue such a terrifying sword. Who wouldn't be shocked? Who wouldn't sigh in amazement?

But why did Su Yi show such a disdainful attitude?

Even Su Hongli himself frowned, his gaze icy and intimidating. He said, "Oh, could it be that you, this wretched child, have even more sophisticated sword refining techniques?"

Su Yi calmly replied, "Do you want to know? I'll let you witness it later and see how to make this sinister sword bow down obediently."

"Is that so?"

Su Hongli sneered, obviously unimpressed. "In that case, I'll borrow your life to let the world witness the might of this sword!"

As his words echoed, his sleeves fluttered, and he attacked with his sword.

Boom!

The heavens and earth trembled, and the clouds scattered.

Su Hongli, like a demonic god, unleashed a ferocious aura as he swung his sword.

It was a simple and straightforward strike, but when the black sinister sword in his hand was swung, a thunderous sword chant reverberated through the world, accompanied by an unparalleled blood-red sword qi soaring into the sky.

The sword qi spanned hundreds of zhang, crimson and raging, engulfed in demonic flames!

Under that strike, the hundred-zhang void erupted with a blast, and the sky was tainted with a sinister and eerie blood color.

In the distance, countless spectators groaned in pain, blood dripping from their seven apertures.

Even the prominent figures among the terrestrial immortals felt a sharp pain in their eyes, and their released divine senses suffered a terrifying impact.

They were all horrified and pale, quickly retracting their divine senses, no longer daring to pry into the secrets of this sinister sword.

Just a single strike, and its ferocity was overwhelming!
