First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1029 - Pathetic!

Chapter 1029 - Pathetic!

The Xia Emperor was stunned.

One slap, and he’d forced an Emperor to kneel!?

His mind went blank, as if his perception of reality had been overturned.

It didn’t matter that he’d already inferred that Su Yi had returned to the Azure Continent strong enough to slay Emperors. He still wouldn’t have guessed that an Emperor of the Ye Family would fail to take even a single palm strike…

A’Cang and the others flew out of Meteor Abyss just in time to witness this, and the sight left them momentarily stunned as well.

A few days prior, Ye Yunjia appeared with a group of Ye Family experts. They’d flattened Nine Tripod City with ease, as majestic as gods from the heavens. It was enough to make one give in to despair.

Yet now, Su Yi had suppressed this terrifying old monster with a single slap!

Who wouldn’t have been surprised?

“Bastard!!” Ye Yunjia’s face was in shambles, and his shame turned to fury. “Do you really think this lofty one is helpless against you?”

His cultivation base surged explosively around him, soaring to new heights.

The aura of the Imperial Realm silently permeated the air around him.

Boom!

The Laws of the Azure Continent reacted as if startled, and multi-colored, chaotic energy descended from the heavens in an attempt to suppress Ye Yunjia.

Seeing this, the others’ hearts shook, and their hair stood on end. All of them realized that this didn’t bode well.

But Ye Yunjia didn’t seem concerned.

He’d take down Su Yi even if it meant a backlash from the power of the Laws! This young man’s strength was far too heaven-defying. It was terrifying beyond imagination. If they didn’t suppress him now, they’d be in for endless trouble down the line!

“Activate!” Ye Yunjia bellowed.

Dao light burst around him, dissipating the giant golden hand suppressing him, and he got up off the ground.

His hair, beard, and robes billowed around him, and his eyes flashed like cold lightning. The aura of the Imperial Realm permeated the air, as if he were a deity.

His majestic aura alone left the Xia Emperor, A’Cang, and the others feeling suffocated. They felt more helpless and insignificant than ever before.

Boom!

A streak of chaotic power descended upon Ye Yunjia, cleaving a wound into his body. Flesh and blood scattered.

But as he circulated his cultivation base, he neutralized the power of the Azure Continent’s laws!

Witnessing this made the others’ hearts sink. They felt as if they’d been plunged into an icy abyss.

Is this the true power of an Imperial Realm expert!?

Ye Yunjia’s eyes flashed with divine radiance, and he said icily, “Little wretch, you ought to celebrate that you were capable of pushing me to use…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Su Yi’s eyes flashed with disdain. He couldn’t even be bothered to waste time talking, so he simply slapped the air from a distance once more.

Boom!

The ten-foot golden hand pressed down.

Beneath the crowd’s flabbergasted gazes, the terrifying, godlike Ye Yunjia seemed as pathetic as a bug; he was sent directly flying.

His flesh split, and countless bones snapped. Before he’d even hit the ground, his lips, ears, nose, and eyes were bleeding, and his entire face contorted with agony.

When he shrieked, he was as shrill as a slaughtered pig.

Thud!

When he hit the ground, his hair was a mess, and he was covered in blood.

This scene left A’Cang, the Xia Emperor, and the others completely dumbstruck.

The disparity was just too enormous.

Who could have imagined that even after unleashing his Imperial majesty, Ye Yunjia would fail to take even a single hit? Or that one slap would inflict such heavy injuries?

The most ridiculous part was that the Laws of the Azure Continent seized the opportunity to strike yet another blow. They slammed into Ye Yunjia, ripping his flesh to shreds. His body was so badly battered that he twitched and convulsed as if having a seizure.

As a result, despite being so embarrassed and angry that he almost wanted to die, this Emperor of the Kunwu Mountain Ye Family had no choice but to instantly reseal his power.

Otherwise, he would have been doomed.

“Get back up, and let’s continue.” Su Yi walked toward him.

A Profound Illumination Emperor like Ye Yunjia might well have been invincible in the modern Azure Continent.

But in Su Yi’s eyes, he was no different from an ant.

After all, even as a true Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivator, he’d killed countless similar characters!

“Don’t come any closer——!” Ye Yunjia shrieked and trembled from head to toe. He was obviously scared out of his wits and overcome with fright and unease.

The onlookers’ hearts shook.

The Xia Emperor thought back to just a few days ago. Ye Yunjia had appeared then too, standing in the sky. One casual swing of his saber had destroyed Mount Heavenbristle, resulting in the brutal deaths of countless members of the imperial family.

At the time, Ye Yunjia seemed as tyrannical as a god, practically invincible.

Yet now, he seemed like a whipped old dog: panicked, desperate, and miserable!

A’Cang and the others felt a bit dazed. They couldn’t even imagine that the terrifying figure who’d almost crushed them just moments prior would seem so pathetic in front of Su Yi.

“You really are unseemly.” Su Yi shook his head. He hadn’t even gotten the chance to vent his fury and hatred before Ye Yunjia withered. He found this extremely displeasing.

“Su Yi, no matter what, the blood of the Ye Family flows through your veins. I’m your mother’s senior! You… You can’t kill me!” Ye Yunjia said in a quavering voice.

His hair was disheveled, and his entire body was covered in blood and dust. He looked even more bedraggled than a beggar.

As he spoke, he crawled on the ground, head lowered. “Furthermore, we came here to invite you back to the clan. We had absolutely no intention of harming you! So long as you spare me, I swear I’ll let you inherit a stroke of fortune grand enough to help you prove your Dao and become an Emperor!”

He breathed in ragged gasps, and he looked up and met Su Yi’s gaze. “Your uncle, Ye Yunlan, must have discussed it with you. You know how wondrous that good fortune is, and your mother’s blood flows through your veins. You’re qualified to inherit it in her stead!”

Fortune capable of helping one become an Emperor!

Both the Xia Emperor and A’Cang were stunned. Although they knew that Ye Yunjia was just trying to save his skin, there was no doubt that the Ye Family really possessed the good fortune in question.

However, Su Yi just said calmly, “I told Ye Yunlan that the Ye Family’s good fortune is entirely unworthy of my notice. Don’t tell me he didn’t inform you?”

Ye Yunjia was stunned. It seemed he found this difficult to comprehend.

Su Yi continued, “Besides, I’ve long since stepped into the Imperial Realm. The good fortune you treasure is now as useless to me as chicken ribs.”

This declaration astonished everyone present.

He’s already an Emperor!?!

Everyone was tongue-tied and wide-eyed. Their hearts and minds shook.

This was their first time hearing that after leaving the Azure Continent for just a little over a year, Su Yi was already an Emperor!

“You, an Emperor? Impossible! That’s absolutely impossible!” This news seemed to deal Ye Yunjia a heavy blow. He couldn’t help but rasp, “Based on my understanding of you, you’re only nineteen years old this year. It was just last year that you stepped into the Spirit Dao. How could you have become an Emperor in just one short year?”

It was no wonder that Ye Yunjia would lose his composure over this.

Were any other Emperor to learn that Su Yi had passed through the Martial, Origin, and Spirit Daos to become an Emperor in just two years, they most likely would have been overcome with astonishment too.

Even in places like the Wilds and the Netherworlds, such rapid growth was unprecedented and unparalleled!

The Xia Emperor and A’Cang were astonished for much the same reason.

“You’re about to die. It doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not,” said Su Yi.” As he spoke, he reached out, grabbed Ye Yunjia, and held him aloft before him. He said calmly and indifferently, “But before you die, I don’t mind telling you something. Perhaps this will help you rest in peace.”

Ye Yunjia’s expression filled with terror and despair. He couldn’t even speak.

Su Yi continued, “The Ye Family has touched my reverse scale. They’ll soon follow you to the grave.”

It wasn’t cold, but his casual, indifferent words made Ye Yunjia tremble. He was completely dazed. Does this guy seriously… plan to kill the entire Ye Family!?

Bang!

Before Ye Yunjia could give the matter any further thought, his body exploded, and chunks of flesh disintegrated into ash.

“No——!” Ye Yunjia’s soul shrieked in terror and struggled with all its might.

But a moment later, Su Yi completely suppressed and searched it.

Before long, Su Yi swept his finger across it, and Ye Yunjia’s soul shattered inch by inch, dissipating into nothingness.

From beginning to end, this Emperor of the Kunwu Mountain Ye Family couldn’t even fight back. Now, he was dead!

Fierce gales howled throughout the boundless landscape.

Su Yi stood there, his robes pristine, with no sign of blood or dirt.

He’d just squished an Emperor as if he were an ant!

Even after witnessing this with their own eyes, the Xia Emperor, A’Cang, and the others felt as if they were dreaming. They couldn’t have been any more astonished.

To them, the Imperial Realm was like a legend. Imperial experts were like gods.

Especially since no true Emperors had arisen in this world in the thirty thousand years following the onset of the Prohibition of Ancient Darkness.

It was easy to imagine how astonished they felt when they saw a legendary Emperor trounced and extinguished as if he were no more than a clay chicken or porcelain dog.

A’Cang was the spirit born of the Azure Continent’s source, and she’d naturally witnessed the majestic bearing of Emperors before. The Sumeru Yao Emperor, Yuan Motian, had once been her companion.

But even A’Cang couldn’t imagine how Su Yi had become strong enough to do this after just a little over a year away.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t you recognize me?” Su Yi turned around and laughed.

He swept his gaze across A’Cang, Wen Lingxue, Cha Jin, Ning Sihua, and the others, one by one. His Dao Heart, which was originally brimming with fury and murderous intent, gradually calmed down.

One sentence, and his friends reacted as if awakening from a dream.

“Big Brother Su Yi, it really is you! And here I thought an immortal had descended from the heavens to save us!” Wen Lingxue whooped for joy. She was the first to charge up to him.

In the past, she would have embraced him without hesitation. She’d grown accustomed to such intimate gestures during Su Yi’s time living with the Wen Family in Guangling City.

But now, as she neared Su Yi, she hesitated.

Su Yi smiled and tousled her hair, his voice full of doting. “You’ve grown up, Lingxue. You’ve started to understand that men and women should avoid direct contact.”

Wen Lingxue bit her shiny lower lip, then stretched out her arms and hugged Su Yi. She even pressed her head directly against his chest and said with delight, “Big Brother Su Yi, when it comes to you, there’s no need to avoid arousing suspicion!”

She was lively and beautiful, with a graceful figure. A faint fragrance wafted from her hair, stirring the heart.

Su Yi found that familiar scent extremely comforting.

Both before and after he recovered the memories of his past life, this former little sister-in-law of his had always treated him well.

That had never changed.

In his heart, she was like a little sister. He couldn’t help but dote on her.
