Chapter 869: What Need Is There for Apologies

He’ll kill all his enemies in three snaps of the finger!?

Ye Tianqu and the others in the teahouse couldn’t help but gasp, but the woman in the black dress laughed.

Without any wasted words, she waved her hand.

Boom!

The nineteen Spiritual Revolution cultivators behind her were already prepared for battle, and they instantly charged into the fray.

All of them were monstrously fierce. Some released purple mist, while others manipulated lightning, circulated wind and flame, or filled the sky with sword qi…

In the Netherworld, Emperors represented the pinnacle of power, and they could command everything around them.

However, it was extremely rare for Emperors to get mixed up in worldly affairs personally. It was only when major factions vied for supremacy that they’d make a personal appearance.

Take the battle at Ziluo City on the night of the Lantern Festival. The fate of the Cui Family, an ancient, peak faction, was on the line. Thus, it was Emperors who determined victory and defeat.

Simply put, when Emperors weren’t involved, Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivators were unquestionably the strongest experts around!

Now, for instance, a full nineteen Spiritual Revolution experts were attacking together. Their combined momentum made the entire Cloud Tower Treasure Ship tremble.

Everyone on board was frantic, terrified, and unsure of what to do.

Xie Kuiju was a Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivator too, but even he was beside himself with fright.

But he wasn’t worried about himself; he was worried that the aftermath of the battle to come would harm the children he was protecting. They had no cultivation bases to protect them!

“Tu Yong, let’s fight with him!” Ye Tianqu’s eyes flashed with cold light, and he charged into the fray.

Practically simultaneously, Tu Yong drew his saber.

The woman in the black dress and her nineteen subordinates were obviously after them. Neither Ye Tianqu nor Tu Yong could just stand back and watch.

“Father…”

But Ye Boheng was instantly frantic with anxiety.

All of this took some time to describe, but it happened in the blink of an eye.

And Su Yi? He attacked almost immediately.

Whoosh~~

Overflowing energy swept forth like a river, circulating around his tall, upright figure. Every inch of his skin shone with Dao Light, and his dark eyes were distant, cool, and indifferent.

The first snap of the finger.

Su Yi raised his right hand into the air.

Five Sword Mountains appeared, connecting heaven and earth, majestic beyond measure.

Everyone on board felt an unprecedented sense of insignificance, as if they were mere ants.

The Great Five Elements Suppression Domain Sword!

All five sword mountains were enshrouded in Apex?of Genesis Dao Intent. As soon as they appeared, they firmly sealed down the entire stretch of sky.

Then, an unbelievable, miraculous scene unfolded before their very eyes——

Daoist seals, treasure bottles, fly whisks, flying swords, short halberds… the treasures of Nineteen Spiritual Revolution cultivators froze in midair, unmoving.

As if they’d been sealed, or pinned to the air!

At the same time, the nineteen Spiritual Revolution cultivators’ Daoist magics popped like soap bubbles, receding like the tide beneath the pressure of the five sword mountains.

“This…” Ye Tianqu and Tu Yong had only just charged out of the teahouse when they saw this. Both were flabbergasted and astonished.

“What kind of swordsmanship is this?” The look on the woman in black’s face shifted.

As the five sword mountains descended, their oppressive aura seemed to seal off all of heaven and earth. They were as majestic as primordial divine mountains supporting the weight of the heavens, their power terrifying beyond limit.

Just looking at them was enough to leave someone overcome with astonishment and feelings of helplessness.

“So strong!” Xie Kuiju was astonished, and his eyes widened. He couldn’t even imagine what kind of terrifying divine skill Su Yi had just unleashed so casually.

“Shit!” The Spiritual Revolution cultivators’ expressions shifted. They were using their full power, but they still couldn’t break their treasures free. This left all of their hearts shaking, and they inwardly cried out in alarm.

“Retreat!” someone bellowed. He sensed a lethal threat emanating from the five sword mountains locking down this entire stretch of sky.

“Go!”

The young woman in the black dress didn’t hesitate to take out a green hairpin. It was only four inches long, and its end was carved into the shape of a blood-red flower bud. Inside the bug was a single, bright red, vertical eye.

As soon as this treasure shot forth, it burst with piercing, blood-colored light, as if a river of blood were sweeping through the heavens, obscuring the skies and blotting out the sun.

The Netherworld Blood Flower Pin!

An Imperial secret treasure!

It could destroy the vast majority of Spiritual Revolution cultivators immediately and with ease.

But Su Yi didn’t even look at it; it was as if he didn’t see it.

The second snap of the fingers.

Su Yi raised his right hand into the air, then pressed down.

Boom!

A low rumbling reverberated throughout heaven and earth, like thunder booming through the nine heavens.

The sky collapsed, inch by inch, and the air currents were thrown into disarray.

As the five majestic and grand sword mountains bore down, the Spiritual Revolution cultivators’ treasures, regardless of whether they were flying swords, treasure bottles, halberd, or other weapons, exploded beneath the pressure. They offered no more resistance than paper mache.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A rapid-fire series of explosions rang out.

When the Netherworld Blood Flower Pin’s river of blood swept forth, it was like a tidal wave crashing against the shore, but it couldn’t so much as budge the five sword mountains.

On the contrary, their suppression made the hairpin wail and shudder, and it only dropped further and further down.

“Quick, run!!” the woman in black shouted.

However, her voice was drowned out by the sword hum filling the entire area.

In truth, her warning would have been useless even if they’d heard her; the nineteen Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivators’ cultivation bases were thoroughly locked down and suppressed.

No matter how desperately they struggled, it was to no avail.

In the end, they could only watch helplessly as the five sword mountains descended.

“No——!”

“Save me!!”

Terrified cries of despair rang out.

Beneath the onlookers’ astonished gazes, the sword mountains crushed the nineteen Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivators into a meaty pulp. Gore flew through the air, and not even their souls escaped; they too were snuffed out on the spot.

One attack, and he’d exterminated nineteen Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivators!

This bloody, tyrannical scene shocked even Ye Tianqu and Tu Yong. Both felt shaken. action

After all, Spiritual Revolution cultivators were the strongest beneath the Imperial Level. They were the mainstays of even the world’s major factions!

Yet this time, nineteen such experts amounted to little more than clay chickens or porcelain dogs. They couldn’t even resist as Su Yi wiped them all out!

“Dammit!” The young woman’s expression darkened, and her eyes shone with murderous intent. She raised her hand into the air, activated a talisman, then fled into the distance.

Boom!

When the talisman exploded, it transformed into blood-red lightning and descended upon the Cloud Tower Treasure Ship.

There was no doubt about it. The woman in black was trying to destroy the entire ship in a bid to kill Su Yi.

Su Yi snorted coldly, and with a swoosh of his sleeves, he pressed his fingers together and slashed.

A raging windstorm of sword qi appeared in the skies and swept forth. Wherever it passed, the blood-red lightning filling the skies exploded. By the time it would have reached the ship, nothing remained of it.

Su Yi slashed once more.

Ten thousand feet away, the young woman in the black dress felt a chill course down her spine, and she suddenly looked up.

There, above her head, she saw a streak of sword qi surge into being, as radiant as if it had been forged out of divine gold. Its edge shone with dazzling and inscrutable Dao Light as it descended upon her.

The terrifying, murderous aura emanating from it made her hair stand on end.

“Condense!” The woman in black shouted.

A copper mirror carved with images of birds, bugs, flowers, and fish hovered before her. Its smooth surface burst with ripples of blood-red light.

But in the end, she’d underestimated just how terrifying Su Yi’s slash was.

When Su Yi struck to kill with his current cultivation base, even early-stage Profound Illumination Emperors wouldn’t necessarily be able to take his attacks!

Boom!

The resulting impact shook heaven and earth.

The entire stretch of sky exploded, stirring up currents of destructive energy.

As Su Yi’s slash descended, the dazzling sword qi cleaved through the blood-colored ripples as if they were made of tofu, then shattered the copper mirror!

“You…” The young woman whipped around and looked at Su Yi, astonishment all over her pretty face.

She was just about to say something when a red line appeared on her forehead, then traveled down the bridge of her nose, followed by her lips, her chin, her throat, and chest….

Splurt!

Her slender, graceful figure split down the midline, followed by a waterfall of blood. Even the skies were dyed red.

All of this had happened in exactly three snaps of the fingers!

In that brief period of time, Su Yi had slain nineteen Spiritual Revolution cultivators and executed the woman in black with understated, casual ease!

Ye Tianqu and Tu Yong looked at each other, waves of shock coursing through their hearts.

Three snaps of the finger, and he’d slain all their enemies! Who wouldn’t have been shocked upon witnessing this? Who wouldn’t have been afraid?

“That young man… Is he a mighty ancient expert in disguise? If not, how could he possibly be this tyrannically strong?” Xie Kuiju looked dazed.

Earlier, his heart had been on tenterhooks, and he almost couldn’t bear to watch; he didn’t think Su Yi had any hope of survival.

Who’d have thought that, just three snaps of the finger later, Su Yi would destroy all of their enemies and emerge victorious?

“How is this possible…?” Meanwhile, in the distant teahouse, Ye Boheng slumped despondently.

Of everyone present, he was the most terrified and the most frantic.

Meanwhile, Su Yi brushed off his clothes as casually as if he’d done something of no importance. He then turned to face Xie Kuiju. “Lead the children somewhere else. This ship is no longer safe.”

Xie Kuiju jumped, then hurriedly nodded his agreement.

After everything that had happened on board, he already no longer had any desire to stick around.

“You won, big brother!” The pigtailed little girl’s eyes sparkled, and she shouted with excitement.

Su Yi smiled. “That jujube you gave me was quite tasty.”

“We’ll be on our way then, senior!” Xie Kuiju clasped his fist.

Su Yi nodded, and Xie Kuiju led the children away, soaring into the air.

In the moments before their departure, Yue Rong, the little pigtailed girl, waved repeatedly at Su Yi.

Not even she would guess that, years later, when her name shook the world of cultivation, she would remember everything that happened tonight more vividly than anything else: both everything she'd witnessed and that big brother who’d eaten her jujube.

The commotion on board the treasure ship faded, and everything returned to its former calm.

However, after this sudden, bloody incident, the lucky survivors frantically left this dangerous place, flying away as if fleeing.

The top floor of the treasure ship.

“Ye Tianqu of the Ghost Serpents greets you, Fellow Daoist!” Ye Tianqu hurried over and inclined his head. “Fellow Daoist, to tell the truth, those people were targeting us. We didn’t realize we’d implicate you like this; I’m truly sorry.”

And indeed, as he said this, he looked ashamed.

Suddenly, the purple-robed Ye Boheng walked over, his expression dark and overcast. “Father, this wasn’t our fault! What need is there to apologize? Besides, even without this guy getting involved, we wouldn’t have been in any danger!”
