First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1139 - A Sore Loser?

Chapter 1139 - A Sore Loser?

The ground split, forming a massive crater.

The spearwoman stiffened as Su Yi ruthlessly pressed her to the ground. Throughout her body, her bones creaked, and even her organs shifted positions.

With that bronze mask covering her face, Su Yi couldn’t see her expression clearly, but her purple eyes shone with a hint of vexation.

She gnashed her teeth and tightened her grip around Su Yi’s neck in an attempt to restrict him.

But against all expectations, this movement only pressed her into Su Yi’s embrace.

Worst of all, although Su Yi had lost his right arm, his left arm crossed her chest and forcefully blocked one of her arms. The more force she used, the deeper Su Yi’s arm sank into her chest.

“Hm?” Su Yi’s eyes opened as he sensed a wave of softness.

The spearwoman’s eyes widened as her chest felt stifled. It was even a bit difficult to breathe.

The two of them were tangled up like a dough twist. Their eyes met at close quarters, and the atmosphere was suddenly a bit strange and silent.

But Su Yi didn’t feel enchanted in the slightest. Their earlier battle had been ferocious, brutal, bloody, and cruel. His body was in tatters, he’d lost his right arm, and his entire body was covered in blood.

The spearwoman’s wounds were a bit lighter, but she too was covered in still-bleeding wounds.

How could he feel at all enchanted given the circumstances?

But...

Even so, he had to admit that pressing such an utterly terrifying woman to the ground made his heart feel a teensy bit strange.

The spearwoman’s eyes suddenly flashed with ruthless light. Her fingers hooked in an attempt to lock onto his throat.

Su Yi cast aside all other thoughts, pressed against her chest with his remaining arm, and pushed with all his might in an attempt to hold her down and avoid her attack.

But how could he possibly just let him escape? Her shockingly supple legs crossed, like scissors gripping Su Yi’s waist. She suddenly burst with greater force, and...

Bang!

Su Yi had only just lifted himself off when he slammed back into her.

She couldn’t help but let out a muffled grunt, and her delicate frame quivered slightly.

Su Yi felt a bit dazed.

Just now... that position... wasn’t it a bit... off?

If the situation weren’t so obviously wrong, it’d seem like we were fighting in bed...

But Su Yi had no time to give the matter any further thought. The spearwoman’s embarrassment had obviously turned to rage, and she was now trying to dig out his eyes.

Her legs wrapped around Su Yi’s waist, and her arms reached for this throat like spiritual serpents. Her entire body was like a rope binding Su Yi tightly.

When he saw that she was so ruthless as to pluck out his eyes, Su Yi instinctively lowered his head. At the same time, he braced his core and supported himself with his left arm as he tried to break free.

Although he avoided her attempt to pluck out his eyes, before he could get up, he was forced back down. A pair of legs were pulling him down by the waist, and he slammed into the spearwoman once more.

She couldn’t help but let out a muffled grunt, and her lustrous lips quivered slightly.

A moment later, her beautiful eyes widened, and she hissed, “You... actually...”

Su Yi said seriously, “I’m a man too. It seems to me that we’d best end this here. If it goes on like this... it’ll be a bit too improper, don’t you think?”

Bang!!

A moment later, she retracted her arms and pushed, sending Su Yi flying through the air.

He’d only just stabilized himself when the spearwoman shot out of the crater, her entire body emanating monstrous murderous intent.

Her purple eyes glinted with sharp, electric light as she coldly locked onto Su Yi, hatred written all over her face.

Boom!

Misty light flowed around her. In the blink of an eye, her wounds fully recovered, and her split skin was as good as new. Even the blood covering her body evaporated completely.

Her imposing aura transformed, becoming extraordinarily terrifying. The entire stretch of heaven and earth trembled violently, as if everything were on the verge of collapse.

There was no doubt about it. Grappling in the crater had thoroughly provoked this mysterious spearwoman.

Su Yi couldn’t help but feel startled.

She was no longer suppressing her cultivation base, and her imposing aura was far more terrifying than the Tailor’s clone’s had been.

To the point that the skies were already surging with the explosive power of the Laws. She’d obviously startled them into action!

It was then that Su Yi asked, “Are you a sore loser?”

It was just one light, airy sentence, but the spearwoman immediately fell silent. Her gaze shifted erratically, murderous one moment, ice-cold the next, then ashamed and indignant...

In the end, she took a deep breath and suppressed her murderous intent. Moments prior, that terrifying aura seemed like it was on the verge of eruption, but now, it gradually receded.

Su Yi inwardly sighed in relief. Had the spearwoman really attacked without reservation, he might well have had to fight with his life on the line.

Fortunately, as forceful and tyrannical as she seemed, she was the type to keep her word.

“This battle is not yet over. Tend to your wounds, and once you’ve fully recovered, we can fight again.” As she spoke, the spearwoman flicked her fingers, and a jade bottle flew toward Su Yi. “Consider this an apology.”

With that, she ignored him, sat on the ground, and closed her eyes in meditation.

Su Yi opened the jade bottle. A wisp of glittering silver light surged out, and a soothing fragrance permeated the air.

After just one whiff, Su Yi’s spirits soared, and his almost exhausted vitality showed signs of recovery!

When he looked into the jade bottle, he saw a snow-white, lustrous pill. It was clear and ethereal, with wondrous scenes reflected inside it: sages shaking their heads and chanting sutras, immortal beauties dancing through the sky, wandering aerial and terrestrial auspicious beasts...

Su Yi couldn’t help but look stunned. “What kind of medicine is this?”

“Ignoramus. It’s just a divine medicine refined by a Cosmic Enlightenment cultivator. If you’re worried about poison, you don’t have to take it,” the spearwoman said coldly. She didn't even deign him with a look as she spat out these barbed words.

Su Yi laughed, not at all concerned. It’s clear as daylight that she's still angry.

Without any further hesitation, he sat down, crossed his legs, and took the divine medicine.

Boom!

His practically drained body rapidly recovered, like waters rising after the rain as his body ravenously devoured that surging, pure power.

His wounds knit together at astonishing speeds, and even his severed right arm regrew, like dried-up wood in spring.

The spearwoman silently cracked open her tightly shut eyes.

Her origins were extraordinary, and she wasn’t of this era. Her cultivation base was enough to let her look down upon the vast majority of peak World Kings.

She’d long since ceased to take Emperors into account.

How could she ever have guessed that she’d encounter someone who was evenly matched with her at the same realm of cultivation?

She certainly never would have guessed that this opponent wouldn’t just take ten blows; he’d actually fought evenly with her, and it wasn’t easy to determine a victor!

She couldn’t help but wonder what would have happened if she hadn’t been too overcome with embarrassment to continue fighting. How would things have ended?

But she couldn’t reach a definite conclusion.

Admittedly, she’d suppressed her cultivation base, so she had no need to fear death. Still, she dared say with certainty that an opponent like this still had cards up his sleeve.

Furthermore, everyone knew that this person had undergone reincarnation. Ignoring the rest, his mastery of the secrets of reincarnation was already a taboo!

The spearwoman suddenly recalled what the Tailor had told her.

Don’t tell me that old liar was telling the truth?

The Temple Master was apparently once invincible in his era. His sword suppressed the starry skies in all directions, and he’d once proclaimed that even gods and immortals would have to avert their gazes before him.

If all of that was true, then all of this was easily explained.

After all, someone who’d undergone reincarnation to cultivate anew had the knowledge and experience of his past life. He could naturally have fixed any regrets he had from his past life’s reincarnation to seek out the strongest possible path!

Reincarnation is a taboo, and it’s long since been erased from the universe’s natural order. They say that the full story has something to do with the Contract of the Gods. But this Dark and Gold Star Realm actually still contains traces of reincarnation, as well as someone who’s actually pulled it off! That’s far too unbelievable...

In others’ eyes, reincarnation was like a fleeting rumor, a taboo Law of the Grand Dao.

But the spearwoman knew full well that reincarnation touched upon secrets great beyond imagination—and more than that, taboo beyond imagination!

Because this involved a contract that had been passed down since the beginning of time.

No one knew its exact contents, but they saw it as an agreement between gods at the beginning of the universe!

Suddenly, the spearwoman developed an intense interest in the Dark and Gold Star Realm.

Several hours later.

Su Yi awakened from his meditation. His wounds had fully knit back together, and moreover, his cultivation had improved. He was now just one step away from the late-stage Profound Serenity Realm.

It hadn’t been long at all since he’d entered the mid-stage Profound Serenity Realm. His advancement speed was startling!

This was partially because the brutal clash between even foes had stimulated Su Yi’s potential, helping him achieve a complete quenching and polishing of his abilities through battle.

But it was also because the pill the spearwoman had given him was extraordinary. Although it was intended for recovery, the pure energy it contained had fully combed through and cleansed Su Yi’s body!

Su Yi could help but sigh over the benefits of battle, especially against a worthy foe. It was far more beneficial than bitterly cultivating in seclusion.

“Come on, let’s keep going.” Su Yi rose, then took the initiative to ask for more.

The spearwoman was briefly stunned. Her purple eyes opened, and she exclaimed, “Over the years, people have frequently taken me for a madwoman who loves nothing but combat. I wouldn’t have guessed it, but you’re at least as mad as I am.”

She rose from the ground, her slender, graceful figure almost as tall as Su Yi’s. Her long, smooth legs were particularly eye-catching.

“I’ve encountered a worthy opponent. How can I stop before we’ve determined a victor?” said Su Yi.

The spearwoman’s eyes flashed. “No need to rush. I’ve already decided that I won’t be leaving the Dark and Gold Star Realm any time soon, and I’d like to seize this opportunity to ask you about something.”

“What do you want to ask about?”

“Reincarnation.” The spearwoman got straight to the point, making no attempt to hide her intentions.

Su Yi laughed. “Fight me again. If you win, I’ll tell you.”

The spearwoman’s eyes flashed with cold light. She snorted, “Are you sure?”

The atmosphere silently turned hostile, as if it could explode at any moment.

Su Yi took out a jug of wine, threw back his head, and drained it. He flashed her a carefree grin. “I’ll just ask you this: do you dare?”

“Do I dare?” the spearwoman muttered, as if this were an extreme provocation.

Her pale purple eyes glowed with sharp light, and without a single wasted word, she swung her right arm as if flinging a spear, her snowy, jade-like fingers like a speartip cutting through the air.
