Chapter 488: Infuriated
One kick, and the door made of excellent-quality spirit wood burst apart as easily as if it were made of paper mache. Fragments of wood scattered throughout the room.
Sikong Bao was only just preparing to deal with Yue Shichan when he suddenly looked up. His eyes flashed, sharp and intimidating as swords, as he looked beyond the doorway.
Gu Cangning, who’d only just slammed the table and risen to his feet, was stunned too. He instinctively looked over.
He saw a lone, extraordinary-looking young man in blue standing beneath the lamplight. He walked into the banquet hall as if on a leisurely stroll, looking perfectly calm.
“Who are you?” Sikong Bao frowned.
.
His companions were alarmed and uncertain too. This was Cloudwater Stream, a place reserved for only the Song of the Sandy Creek’s most distinguished guests. It was highly secretive, and without permission, ordinary people dared not barge in!
Especially since he made it perfectly clear that no one was to disturb tonight’s banquet, no matter what happened!
Yet now, a young man of unknown origins had brazenly kicked the door down!
Sikong Bao couldn’t quite wrap his head around it. He didn’t know who this intruder was or where he’d come from. Thus, despite his fury, he temporarily restrained himself.
“Brother Su?” Gu Cangning exclaimed. Disbelief was written all over his face.
Just now, learning of Yue Shichan’s origin’s reminded him of Su Yi. Who’d have guessed that Su Yi would appear in the flesh mere moments later?
Su Yi glanced at Gu Cangning, then fixed his gaze on the unconscious Yue Shichan. His expression slowly frosted over.
If he hadn’t just happened to be in Nine Tripod City and if he hadn’t just happened to sense the strange movements of the purple bells, or if he hadn’t come straight here… Yue Shichan’s fate would simply have been too miserable to imagine!
“You know this person?” Sikong Bao looked at Gu Cangning.
Gu Cangning said expressionlessly, “Brother Su is my benefactor. He comes from the Great Zhou, just like Yue Shichan. Earlier, I wanted to save her in order to repay Brother Su’s kindness. Do you understand now, Sikong Bao?”
Sikong Bao laughed. “And here I thought he was someone important! He dared ruin our good time, but… it turns out he’s just another cultivator from the Great Zhou…”
His voice was rife with mockery. His companions calmed down too. Then, their expressions darkened, All of them were furious.
He’s just some kid from the Great Zhou, yet he dares barge in here and kick up a fuss? He’s simply sick of living!
“If you’re Gu Cangning’s benefactor, it stands to reason that you’re no ordinary person. If you were, there’s no way you’d be bold enough to barge in here, either.” As Sikong Bao spoke, he returned to his seat.
His gaze was icy and full of ridicule, and he examined Su Yi without fear or reservations. “If I’m not mistaken, you’re here to rescue that little bitch, right?”
He made it sound as if this were all perfectly normal, but although he looked casual, his aura was incredibly imposing.
Like a vicious beast locking onto his prey.
Su Yi ignored all this. Rather, after entering the banquet hall, he paused only to glance at Gu Cangning before ignoring everyone else present.
He walked up to Yue Shichan, looked her over, and sighed in relief.?I’m just glad she’s okay.
Sikong Bao’s gaze was playful and full of ridicule, like a cat playing with a mouse. “Heh heh, it’s no use. Even if you took her with you, she’d obediently return to my side, carry out my orders, and let me do as I placed. So long as I?will?it, I can decide her life and death with a thought.”
The others couldn’t help but laugh too. They’d already recovered their composure, and they had complete confidence in their backing. If anything, their eyes carried a trace of pity when they looked at Su Yi.
Gu Cangning’s heart sank, and he hurriedly explained, “Brother Su, they put a Shamanic Venom Devilworm inside Miss Yue’s body. That’s one of the Heavenly Annihilation Demonic Gate’s….”
Su Yi waved, cutting him off. “I heard everything you just said. It’s nothing but a low-class parasite; it’ll take more than that to stump me.”
As he spoke, he reached over and picked Yue Shichan off the ground. He then placed her in front of Gu Cangning. “Look after her for me.”
Gu Cangning hurriedly agreed. He realized that although Su Yi looked calm and emotionless, in truth, he was already infuriated!
“A low-class parasite? Sweetie, you might look young, but you boast better than even those old fogies!” said the sultry woman in black with a laugh. She was the one who carried Yue Shichan into the hall.
The others burst into jeering laughter.
Thirty thousand years ago, Shamanic Venom Devilworms were one of the Heavenly Annihilation Demonic Gate’s eight great devilworms!
Even a Spirit Dao cultivator would be helpless once one entered his body; he’d become no more than a puppet.
“Is it that funny?” Su Yi looked at the woman in black, the depths of his gaze utterly calm.
However, when she sensed his gaze, the woman felt an inexplicable chill in her heart. Her hair stood on end, and her expression shifted as she realized that she was in trouble.
However, she was one step too late.
Su Yi swept through the air with his finger. The gesture seemed as casual as if he were flicking away dust, but immediately afterward, a streak of sword qi burst into being and flashed through the air.
Splurt!
A bloody hole appeared right between the woman’s eyes. Her soul shattered, and she toppled over backward, her eyes still wide with alarm.
The entire room fell silent. Everyone was shocked.
Sikong Bao’s eyes narrowed and glinted.
This forceful, domineering scene stunned everyone else present. None of them dared believe that some blue-robed youth from the Great Zhou would attack so ruthlessly!
This guy really is just as he was before…?Gu Cangning sighed to himself.
He had once crossed blades with Su Yi, and he witnessed Su Yi’s abilities at the Spiritbend Assembly. He was naturally well aware of how domineering he was!
The alluring woman in black was an impressive she-devil with early-stage Gathering Stars Realm cultivation. However, fighting Su Yi was no different from seeking her own demise.
“Kneel, you bastard” Suddenly, a tall, stalwart man in dark armor rose. He was fully ten feet tall, with a tyrannical and imposing aura. He slapped his palm at Su Yi from afar.
Boom!
The force of his palm stirred up surging black flames as overbearing as falling stars.
Su Yi stretched out a finger and pressed down.
The incoming fiery black palm imprint burst apart with a boom, scattering a rain of light.
The tall, stalwart man’s knees thudded to the ground. An array complete with cloud markings appeared on the ground. Only then did he neutralize the force of this attack.
The man’s seat and the nearby portion of the table burst apart, startling those near him. All of them dodged, not the least bit dignified.
But it wasn’t over yet.
Su Yi exerted strength through his fingers, and the hair-raising sound of cracking bones emanated from the stalwart man’s body.
The others then watched as his flesh burst apart. Blood sprayed in all directions, and his body collapsed in on itself, inch by inch. In the blink of an eye, his entire body had been crushed into an indistinct meaty pulp.
What a brutal way to go!
Upon witnessing this shocking scene, the others’ visibly lost their composure. They suddenly realized the danger.
The tall, stalwart man was a late-stage Gathering Stars expert. He was extremely domineering on the battlefield. Despite this, Su Yi swatted him in a single attack, as if he were nothing but a fly!
The guests’ hair stood on end.
Xia Jingyu and Daoist Nun Feng had already risen from their seats,?alarm?written all over their faces.
Only Sikong Bao remained seated. However, his expression was extraordinarily dark and unsightly.
He said coldly, “Gu Cangning, this benefactor of yours isn’t simple! Take this opportunity, before I completely lose my temper, to tell him how serious the consequences of offending me are! So long as he lowers his head, apologizes, and pledges himself to my cause, I can make an exception and spare his life!”
His eyes flashed with madness and ruthlessness, and his aura grew increasingly sinister and terrifying.
Gu Cangning furrowed his brow and looked at Su Yi.
In truth, there was no need for Sikong Bao to say anything; he’d long since wanted to warn Su Yi. Both Sikong Bao and Xia Jingyu had extraordinary statuses!
However, before he could even open his mouth, Su Yi raised his hand to stop him. “I’m not interested in learning more about someone who’s about to die.”
The others present were so angry that they laughed. “This whelp sure?is arrogant!”
“Everyone, attack together! Kill him!” Some of the experts charged, each calling upon their various treasures. All of them targeted Su Yi.
These were Sikong Bao’s subordinates. Anywhere else in the Great Xia, they were top figures of the heretical way. Every last one of them had hands stained with blood, and they were ruthless to the extreme.
In battle, they had a rich array of brutal methods at their disposal. As soon as they attacked, they used their lethal and insidious secret arts and treasures.
All of a sudden, poisonous smoke surged into the air, baleful energy ran rampant, and blood-colored light shot forth. All of these attacks swept toward and surrounded Su Yi.
The sight was enough to make the vast majority of the world’s Origin Dao cultivators tremble.
However, the way Su Yi saw it, these attacks were completely unworthy of his attention.
Boom!
His sleeves billowed around him, and his right hand swept through the air.
Clear sword qi swept forth like a bolt of cloth. In an instant, it transformed into a rain of ten thousand swords. The countless densely-picked streaks of sword qi were like a flood, as unstoppable as an ax through rotting wood.
A boom loud enough to destroy one’s eardrums rang out.
The various vicious, lethal secret arts and treasures burst apart and scattered, fragile as could be. They simply couldn’t withstand the sword qi’s power.
Immediately afterward, desperate shrieks rang out.
Crimson blood flew through the air.
In the blink of an eye, everyone who’d attacked died beneath the downpour of sword qi. Their bodies were pulverized, and fragments of gore flew through the air. Even their souls were crushed into powder.
They were destroyed, body and soul.
Sword qi ran rampant. Su Yi slew his foes with a wave of his sleeve!
Xia Jingyi gasped, and his face filled with astonishment.
The rigid, unsmiling Daoist Nun Feng already stood before him, sword in hand. Her expression was utterly grave; she looked prepared to face a mighty foe.
Sikong Bao had already completely lost his cool. He shot to his feet, his face ashen. A strange, fiery black totem arose on his smooth, bald head.
Back at the Spiritbend Assembly, he was still in the Grain Avoidance Realm. How long has it been? He’s already stepped into the Origin Palace Realm, and he’s still so terrifyingly strong…?Gu Cangning’s heart shook; Su Yi’s casual, understated display of power shocked him to the core.
The grand hall was now covered in wreckage, with corpses strewn throughout the rubble and blood seeping across the floor.
Su Yi stood in the center of the hall, dressed in blue, his expression as calm as ever.
Sikong Bao’s few remaining subordinates’ expressions changed dramatically. Their faces were full of dread and astonishment.
Su Yi didn’t waste any words; he couldn’t be bothered. He just walked right up to Sikong Bao.
Yue Shichan was a good seedling, one Su Yi quite admired. Who’d have thought that someone would get so close to crushing her?
How could Su Yi?not?be angry?
When he lost his temper, he never stopped to consider the consequences. Not even heavenly kings could stop him!
“You… You’re really… seeking death!” Sikong Bao was utterly enraged, and he spat his words through the gaps of his teeth. His entire aura was terrifying and vicious as a primordial savage beast.
