Chapter 1633 - This Is My Business
The atmosphere was still and silent.
Su Yi said casually, “I’m a rogue cultivator accustomed to freedom. I won’t join any faction in this lifetime.”
Everyone in Blue Cliff Academy was instantly disappointed.
Over in Pine Hut College’s camp, the white-robed middle-aged man couldn’t help but say, “Were our conditions insufficient? How about this: if you have any other terms, please feel free to say them. We’ll agree to any request that’s within our power.”
Su Yi couldn’t help but laugh dryly. “I’ve already said my piece. You could offer me good fortune grand enough to carry me to the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao, and I still wouldn’t spare it so much as a single glance.”
Nie Weirui, the white-robed middle-aged man, and the others furrowed their brows.
Over in Blue Cliff Academy’s camp, despite their disappointment, they saw that Su Yi’s mind was made up, and they made no further attempts to persuade him.
Old Monster Zhao Yunfeng laughed. “Everyone has different ambitions. Blue Cliff Academy naturally won’t push you. Regardless, you overcame the Blue Cliff Twelve Towers. According to the rules, we ought to reward you generously.”
“That’s right. We ought to do just that!” The others chimed in with their agreement.
Su Yi waved. “No need to be so polite. Actually, I have a rather deep connection to Blue Cliff Academy, and since you looked after me today and permitted me to attempt the towers, I ought to be thanking you.”
Su Yi looked at Nie Weirui and said, “With me here, you have no hope of taking the Haoran Ruler. I suggest you leave sooner rather than later.”
The crowd was flabbergasted. They would never have guessed that an outsider like Su Yi would get mixed up in a conflict between institutions!
Nie Weirui furrowed her delicate eyebrows. The other Pine Hut College experts looked displeased too.
The white-robed middle-aged man said gravely, “Young man, out of consideration for your astonishing talent, we treated you with politeness and respect, but I’m afraid you’ve just crossed a line!”
A handsome, scholarly young man couldn’t help but laugh coldly, “Do you really think overcoming the Blue Cliff Twelve Towers means you can do whatever you want and order us about as you please? Ridiculous!”
Nie Weirui waved for silence, looked at Su Yi, and said icily, “Allow me to give you a word of advice. This is between Blue Cliff Academy and Pine Hut College. You’re better off not getting involved."
Su Yi hated wasting his breath, so he got straight to the point. “According to the rules, so long as I can defeat you, you cannot take the Haoran Ruler. Isn’t that right?”
Nie Weirui’s beautiful eyes flashed as she realized what Su Yi was getting at. Her eyes widened in disbelief. “You... You want to challenge me as a representative of Blue Cliff Academy?”
“Not just you,” Su Yi said flatly. “Your companions too. You’re welcome to attack together.”
The crowd was dumbstruck. All of them were tongue-tied. Even if you’d hit them over the head, they would never have imagined that a Universe Realm Immortal would be so domineering!
After all, Nie Weirui was a peak expert within the Saint Realm, and there were two full realms between her and Su Yi. Not only that, but she’d just defeated twenty-three Blue Cliff Academy Immortal Lords in a row all on her own! Her strength was terrifying!
Her companions were Immortal Lords and Ladies, too. A lineup like that was enough to terrify even most Immortal Lords!
Who’d have thought Su Yi would dare challenge them like this?
Even Nie Weirui was unwittingly stunned. A moment later, she laughed. “Don’t tell me you’re serious?”
“Of course,” said Su Yi.
Nie Weirui’s smile disappeared.
The white-robed middle-aged man said coldly, “Little fellow, we’ve tolerated you thus far, but you need to mind your own business. Otherwise, don’t blame us for our rudeness!”
The atmosphere was instantly stifled and tense.
Over in Blue Cliff Academy’s camp, although Zhao Yunfeng and the others were moved, they hurriedly tried to dissuade them for fear that getting involved would implicate him.
Su Yi shook his head. “This is my business."
Even disregarding Li Nandu’s deep connection with Blue Cliff Academy, it was Wang Ye who’d given the Haoran Ruler and Just Heart Bell to the Central Immortal Court, then to Blue Cliff Academy in their name.
How could Su Yi possibly remain a bystander given the circumstances?
“You’re only a Universe Realm Immortal, but everything’s your business, huh?” The scholarly, handsome young man jeered. “Have a good look at yourself and learn your pla—”
Whap!
A crisp slap to the face stopped the scholarly, handsome young man mid-sentence. His cheek swelled, and he staggered back, then thudded to the ground.
The crowd was startled. All of them looked at Su Yi in disbelief. A Universe Realm Immortal just slapped an Immortal Lord across the face? How is that even possible?!
This was completely unexpected.
Su Yi flicked his fingers and said calmly, “Those who humiliate others will be humiliated themselves. Speak out of turn again, and I’ll have you kneel and repent.”
“You’re seeking death!” roared the handsome, scholarly young man. He got to his feet and charged at Su Yi.
As an Immortal Lord of Pine Hut College, he was no ordinary cultivator, and he attacked in a rage. His momentum was terrifying to behold.
Nie Weirui initially planned to stop him, but in the end, she resisted the impulse.
Su Yi was a junior, and his attitude displeased her too. Seizing this opportunity to teach the little upstart a painful lesson wasn’t a bad idea.
Zhao Yunfeng and the other old monsters’ eyelids twitched, but just as they were about to intervene...
Su Yi raised his hand and struck.
Bang!!
The handsome young man was still mid-charge when he was slammed into the ground. The impact left him sprawled out in the dirt like a toad.
The ground even caved in around him, scattering dirt and fragments of rock.
No matter how hard the handsome young man struggled, he couldn’t get back up!
A series of gasps rang out. Now, when the group looked at Su Yi, their expressions were full of astonishment.
He suppressed an Immortal Lord in a single strike? Is such power really possible for a Universe Realm Immortal?
The old monsters’ hearts shook. They’d watched Su Yi overcome the Blue Cliff Twelve Towers, so they already knew that Su Yi was an unrivaled, heaven-defying monster.
Even so, they wouldn’t have thought Su Yi could suppress an Immortal Lord with such ease. It was truly unbelievable!
Nie Weirui and the others looked stricken too. Who could have failed to realize that this Universe Realm Immortal was truly extraordinary?
Su Yi looked at Nie Weirui and said calmly, “Now do you still just think I’m kidding around?”
After a moment’s silence, Nie Weirui said, “I have to admit that your strength is terrifying, and it’s indeed beyond my expectations, but you aren’t a member of Blue Cliff Academy. You cannot stop this operation.”
Su Yi laughed dryly. “You can consider me a temporary member of Blue Cliff Academy.”
As he waved his sleeves through the air, Haoran sword intent soared into the firmament!
Boom!
That sword intent was vast and blazing hot. Countless stars surged within it, illuminating the nine heavens and the ten earths.
“The Endless Stars Sword!”
“That’s one of the nine great secret legacies of the Classic of Endless Stars!”
“My heavens! Am I seeing things? Wasn’t the Classic of Endless Stars lost during the Age of Fallen Immortals?”
“It really is the Classic of Endless Stars! There’s absolutely no mistaking it!”
Every expert of Blue Cliff Academy was stunned. A clamor of voices followed.
Zhao Yunfeng and the other old monsters had complicated looks on their faces. They’d expected this, but the sight of Su Yi so casually using their long-lost legacy filled them with emotion.
This was one of Blue Cliff Academy’s four great classics!
“How... How could he have Blue Cliff Academy’s long-lost legacy?” The experts of Pine Hut College clearly found this difficult to believe.
Su Yi disregarded this and focused on Nie Weirui. “I’ll use the secret legacy of Blue Cliff Academy and leave you convinced of your defeat. Well? How about it?”
Nie Weirui’s brow furrowed. She said icily, “Very well. You insist on provoking me, so I’ll give you what you want!”
A waterfall of Immortal Lord Laws surged around her, like interweaving arcs of radiant light. They outlined layer after layer of divine ring, which hovered defensively behind her.
Her aura instantly soared to full power. She was now contemptuous, proud, majestic, and imposing.
Everyone fell deathly silent. A terrifying, oppressive energy permeated the air.
Nie Weirui was just that eye-catching, proud, and powerful.
Even though they were enemies, the experts of Blue Cliff Academy had to admit that she was a dazzling figure among Immortal Lords and Ladies. She was all but unrivaled!
Earlier, she’d defeated twenty-three of the academy’s Immortal Lords in a row. That feat alone was sufficient proof of her strength!
Su Yi looked her up and down, then said casually, “If I can’t take you down within three punches, consider it my loss!”
The crowd exchanged glances. All of them were stunned.
But before they could wrap their heads around it, Su Yi attacked.
He stepped forward, casually stretched out his right hand, and punched the air.
A light, understated gesture.
Yet it flew through the air with tyrannical momentum. Overflowing Haoran Qi burst forth like the sun blazing overhead. Everywhere it reached, it filled heaven and earth with dazzling light!
Nie Weirui’s expression shifted. This punch was more than just terrifying; it had a valiant, unrivaled quality that outshone all others. The sheer impact shook her heart and soul!
Without the slightest hesitation, Nie Weirui struck with all her might.
“Go!” Her fair hands formed seals, and countless arcs of divine light condensed around her and shot through the air.
Boom!
Heaven and earth shook. Divine radiance swept outward.
Beneath the crowd’s disbelieving gazes, Su Yi’s fist crushed everything in its path as if it were made of rotten wood. He bore a hole through Nie Weirui’s offensive, piercing the Immortal Lord Laws around her.
The impact forced her back, and she staggered on her feet.
A single fist could be this terrifying!
Before Nie Weirui could steady herself, Su Yi attacked once more.
His fist was like the blue dome of heaven in motion. Grand Haoran Qi blanketed heaven and earth, and the indistinct sound of sages reciting the classics filled the air.
Nie Weirui looked stricken. She dared not hesitate in the slightest, instead drawing upon everything she’d been keeping in reserve and using the strongest secret art at her disposal.
Whoosh!
A Vermillion Bird condensed out of Saint Realm Laws took to the air. Its flames extended for one hundred thousand feet, illuminating the nine heavens.
Many of the Immortal Lords present felt their hair stand on end. They could sense how terrifying this strike was.
Zhao Yunfeng and the other old monsters had complicated looks on their faces. Someone like Nie Weirui had actually appeared in Pine Hut College! By comparison, the Immortal Lords of Blue Cliff Academy really were lacking...
But what happened next left them wide-eyed with shock.
As terrifying as the Vermillion Bird bathed in flames was, it popped like a soap bubble beneath Su Yi’s fist.
As a rain of sparks scattered, Nie Weirui was sent flying back, and she landed several thousand feet away!
Su Yi had actually defeated the dazzling genius Immortal Lady of Pine Hut College in just two punches!
