Chapter 449: Chapter 317: Unworthy of a True Immortal

Faced with Nie Lu’s Immortal Sword slashing towards him, Su Xin reached out and effortlessly grasped it.

The movement was relaxed and expressive, as if reaching into a pouch to retrieve something.

This move directly stunned Nie Lu.

With his extensive experience adventuring in the Void Realm, he immediately realized that Su Xin’s strength was far superior to his own, so he decisively conceded:

"Spare my life, Celestial Immortal!"

Nie Lu shouted anxiously, "All these exotic fruits are yours, Celestial Immortal. We won’t interfere any further. Please spare my life!"

Su Xin couldn’t help but laugh:

"You gave in too quickly. I haven’t even started exerting myself... If you want me to spare your life, hand over all the treasures you have, and I’ll let you leave alive."

"Alright, alright, alright!"

Nie Lu readily agreed.

In this world where the weak are prey to the strong, people are accustomed to such grab-and-take practices; conceding in the face of adversity is not disgraceful, as long as one survives.

Nie Lu shouted to his subordinates:

"Stop! Everyone stop!"

"Hand over all your storage rings! Quickly! Don’t wait for the Celestial Immortal to act personally!"

After speaking, he was the first to hand over his storage ring to Su Xin, with a look of humility.

Nie Lu’s subordinates, seeing him subdued by Su Xin, stopped one after another and obediently handed over their space rings.

In fact, people like them who venture outside never bring all their wealth with them, given the high risk of being robbed.

But the assets they carried were not trivial either, fearing that after a strong person finds the haul unsatisfactory, they might casually kill them.

This is considered a rule of thumb in this world.

Su Xin took the storage rings, and with a casual glance inside each ring, he found that each contained at least several thousand spirit stones.

"Also, this sword of yours is quite decent. I’ll take it for myself from now on."

Su Xin lightly pulled the sword blade he held, seeing Nie Lu not letting go, he turned to stare into his eyes.

"This... Celestial Immortal, this sword took me a long time to forge; its actual value isn’t very high, but it holds great significance for me. Please show mercy..."

Nie Lu said bitterly.

"When you rob others, do you spare them because they beg for mercy?"

With that, Su Xin forcibly snatched the longsword and kicked Nie Lu flying thousands of meters away.

His subordinates were all silent as cicadas in winter.

"Get lost."

Su Xin coldly commanded.

As those people were about to turn away and fly off, a few more figures flew over from afar.

"This friend is quite domineering!"

The leader wore a well-tailored brown leather armor, with handsome features and an elegant aura, carrying a sheathed longsword on his back.

The recently departed Nie Lu and others saw the newcomer and their expressions slightly changed.

"It’s City Lord Jiang?!"

Nie Lu hurriedly flew up to greet him respectfully:

"Greetings, City Lord Jiang."

The others also greeted him respectfully.

The parties clearly knew each other. City Lord Jiang glanced at Nie Lu and faintly smiled:

"Tributor Nie, tell me what’s going on." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Nie Lu summarized the events concisely, but changed the initial discoverer of the Soul-Nourishing Purple Immortal Fruit to himself, claiming that after his discovery, he was attacked by two waves of people.

Su Xin and the others were the second wave of attackers.

Su Xin watched quietly from afar without interrupting or showing any intention to refute.

He wanted to test the True Immortal Realm’s strength, and since he encountered someone in the wild, he would take this opportunity to duel and see.

On Jade Pearl Island, those titled as City Lords are generally either real city lords or deputy city lords, but whether deputy or real, their cultivation is at least True Immortal Realm.

After listening to Nie Lu’s report, City Lord Jiang looked at Su Xin with indifference and asked:

"Friend, is what Tributor Nie said true?"

Su Xin smiled calmly: "What does it matter whether it’s true or not? In this world, strength speaks. Are you planning to reason with me?"

City Lord Jiang’s expression turned cold, and he said sternly:

"Fine, you’re unwilling to be reasonable, so let’s speak with strength."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, causing the space to twist under his palm, as if the whole world was oppressing Su Xin.

The distant ground shattered.

The clouds above dissipated without a trace.

Everything within the space was enduring far greater pressure than usual at this moment.

Even in the Void Realm, a True Immortal can influence and initially master the rules.

For the true powerhouses of the Void Realm, only the True Immortal Realm is considered a genuine immortal, which is why this level is called True Immortal.

Under this palm strike, Nie Lu and others retreated repeatedly, fearing the battle’s impact.

Even Sharu was shocked by this attack.

Though he had sparred with Su Xin for a long time, Su Xin had never used the power of law against him in combat, and he had never personally felt the oppressive grip of law power.

Now, when City Lord Jiang attacked, Sharu could feel an squeezing pain all over his body from the distorted space, like an ordinary person buried underground, crushed repeatedly by a steamroller.

"The Law? I can use it too."

Su Xin remained calm and extended his hand.

Even though his cultivation was at the Celestial Immortal Realm, he hadn’t broken through the shackles of the Celestial Immortal Realm over the years, but his power of law had steadily improved, far surpassing the Celestial Immortal Realm level.

As for the specifics of his reach, he hadn’t tested it yet.

Now is a good opportunity.
