Chapter 1247 - A Well-Intentioned Assassination

The old man in dragon robes stiffened, and the look on his face shifted abruptly.

An inscrutable Daoist invocation left his lips, and throughout his body, his blood and qi surged. He was struggling with all his might.

Like a caged dragon fighting to the bitter end, he was ferocious beyond measure.

He was a Horned Dragon, with extraordinary aptitude and a firm, terrifying cultivation base.

Even opponents of the same realm were certain to take injuries if he went all out, and that’s assuming they survived!

But a moment later, all of his power was thoroughly suppressed. He felt a sharp pain in his throat, and his face flushed red, while the veins bulged on his forehead. He was on the verge of suffocation.

He couldn’t raise so much as a single finger, let alone struggle.

Bang!

The crowd watched in a daze as the old man in dragon robes knelt before Su Yi.

The ground shook, and the entire pawnshop swayed violently.

Dark Monarch Liu Xiang, Old Devil Three Eyes, and Madam Tumi’s smiles froze in place. All of them gasped.

He suppressed the old horned dragon with a flip of his palm?

An indescribable terror coursed through the three old monsters’ entire bodies. Their expressions shifted as they realized they’d misjudged the situation; this seemingly harmless young man was an utterly terrifying human cultivator!

“Wonderful!” The Starry Abacus, Scales of Judgment, and Heart-Inquiring Bell whooped for joy and cried out with excitement.

The old pawnbroker couldn’t help but be stunned too.

A few years prior, when they saw Su Yi outside the Netherworld’s Ziluo City, he’d yet to even step into the Imperial Realm.

Yet now, all he did was raise his palm, and he suppressed a Oneness Realm Horned Dragon!

He was like a completely different person!

The old man in dragon robes looked ready to die of anger and shame, and his hair was disheveled.

He’d only just casually mentioned his plan to have Su Yi kneel and obey, only to find himself forced to kneel instead!

He struggled like mad and tried to get up, but he couldn’t budge. He couldn’t even raise his head.

This filled him with terror, and his hair stood on end as he realized that this didn’t bode well. He shouted, “Fellow Daoists, quickly, lend me your aid!”

The other three old monsters looked at each other, but hesitated.

Even the old Horned Dragon couldn’t take a single blow. What could they do?

Dark Monarch Liu Xiang took a deep breath, his expression filled with shame. “Earlier, we were blind, and we inadvertently offended your dignity. We humbly request your forgiveness.”

As he spoke, he clasped his fist.

“Old Ghost Liu Xiang, you...” The Horned Dragon was frantic with anger.

But then, Madam Tumi lowered her head. “We are only customers who came here to do business. We’ve never gotten mixed up in the pawnshop’s affairs. We humbly request your understanding, senior.”

“That goes for me too!” Old Devil Three Eyes said hurriedly.

Waves of emotion coursed through the old pawnbroker’s heart just watching this.

These three old monsters of the Dark Sea of Stars were aggressive and domineering, the type to kill a man without even batting an eye.

Yet now, all of them had lowered their heads.

The old man in dragon robes was ashen-faced, and his heart filled with disappointment. These old bastards really are unreliable! Each is faster to adapt to the times than the one before!

Su Yi disregarded the old monsters. Instead, he looked at the old pawnbroker. “How many of the shop’s treasures have these old-timers ‘traded’ for over the years?”

The old pawnbroker didn’t even pause to think. “A lot. If you need a list, I can put one together for you, Your Excellency!”

Su Yi waved the offer away. “No need for that.”

The old monsters' hearts thudded in their chest. Does that mean he plans to get even?

Dark Monarch Liu Xiang said gravely, “Over the years, we really have taken numerous treasures from the pawnshop, but the old Horned Dragon took an equivalent sum in Spatial Divine Crystals. We...”

Before he could finish, Su Yi smiled faintly. “You can’t outfight me, so you’re resorting to talk of fairness, but when you’re stronger than your opponent, there are no depths to which you will not sink. You’re completely lawless, so why not stay that way until the very end? You’ve truly got no prospects.”

Dark Monarch Liu Xiang’s expression darkened, and the depths of his gaze glinted with ferocious light.

Su Yi continued entirely unperturbed. “It might not be polite to say this, but I could kill every living thing in the Dark Sea of Stars without fear of killing a single innocent.”

Madam Tumi lowered her beautiful head. “Sir, we’ve already submitted and expressed our good intentions, so please, be magnanimous.

Su Yi laughed, then raised his hand and pressed down on the air.

Kccch!

A streak of black light split in midair just three feet away from him.

Upon closer inspection, it was a seven-inch-long needle as fine as an ox hair, and it emanated a strange and unsettling aura.

This treasure had been flying invisibly and silently through the air. Three more feet, and it would have pierced Su Yi’s skull right between the eyes!

Bang! Crunch!

Practically simultaneously, a mysterious treasure shaped like a blood-red eye exploded into motes of light above Su Yi’s hand, and a snowy, skeletal claw burst behind him.

All of this happened at almost exactly the same time.

As Su Yi pressed down, the slender needle, the eye-like pearl, and the skeletal hand all shattered.

Before this, neither Meng Changyun nor the old pawnbroker had noticed this attack. Now, chills coursed down their spines as they realized a terrifying attack had been hidden behind that conversation.

There was no doubt about it. All three old monsters had attacked!

Indeed, all three old monsters’ expressions shifted.

“These are your so-called good intentions?” Su Yi’s tone was rife with mockery.

Boom!

Dark Monarch Liu Xiang waved his lantern, and a bundle of fluorescent blue flame shot out, like a river enveloping Su Yi.

Meanwhile, he transformed into blue smoke and disappeared on the spot.

Old Devil Three Eyes roared, opened his mouth, and spat out a Daoist seal. It was shaped like a miniature divine mountain, and it descended ruthlessly upon Su Yi.

Madam Tumi unfurled a blood umbrella and waved it through the air.

Boom!

The blood-red light of the Laws surged forth, transforming into a bloody river of purgatory.

This attack was headed directly for the old pawnbroker and the Starry Abacus!

The three Oneness Realm Old Monsters didn’t just possess an abundance of combat experience. They had great tacit understanding, too. When they joined forces, the entire pawnshop shook violently.

The kneeling Horned Dragon’s eyes shone with a hint of excitement. These old bastards have a trick or two up their sleeves after all!

But a moment later, the Horned Dragon was struck dumb. He could only watch as the entire pawnshop froze strangely in place, like a scene from a painting.

The “painting” depicted the vanished Dark Monarch Liu Xiang and his bone saber at Su Yi’s side, ready to strike.

But he was frozen mid-attack, unable to complete it.

The old Horned Dragon was astonished. What kind of ability is this?

“This...” The old pawnbroker was tongue-tied too. He felt as if all of heaven and earth had frozen in place.

“Your Excellency Su, is this a restriction technique?” the Starry Abacus couldn’t help but ask.

Su Yi smiled and shook his head. “It’s a Law of the Grand Dao.”

As he spoke, he seized Dark Monarch Liu Xiang’s white bone short saber and casually pierced his throat.

Splurt!

Dark Monarch Liu Xiang’s eyes went round.

A moment later, he caught ablaze, reduced to ash in the blink of an eye.

This scene left the old Horned Dragon so startled that his soul practically left his body.

Off to the side, Old Devil Three Eyes and Madam Tumi looked overcome with astonishment. Their faces filled with terror. They were like flies caught in a spider’s web. Their power of the Grand Dao was restricted, and they couldn’t move an inch. They could only watch helplessly and wait for death.

This feeling left them on the verge of breaking down.

Su Yi arrived before Old Devil Three Eyes, then retrieved the Xiantian Dao Seed and said softly, “A dirty toad dares covet and seize the treasure I left here? You sure know how to dream.”

He raised his hand and slapped.

Bang!

The “beautiful young man” that was Old Devil Three Eyes exploded, his soul dispersed.

Su Yi then turned his attention to Madam Tumi.

Helplessness and despair were written all over her face. She opened her mouth to beg for mercy, but she couldn’t make a single sound.

“The winner is a king, the loser, a bandit. No need to say more.” Su Yi laughed, raised his hand, and pointed.

Madam Tumi’s slender, graceful figure caught ablaze, disintegrated into ash, and dissipated.

Now, three Oneness Realm old monsters who’d ruled the Dark Sea of Stars like hegemons for countless years had perished, their bodies and souls destroyed!

This casual, understated massacre left the old pawnbroker in a daze.

Just how strong has His Excellency Su become!?

Meng Changyun was already accustomed to such sights. It hadn’t been long since they’d left the Violet Dome Star Realm, where he’d witnessed Su Yi’s magnificent bearing as he slew Oneness Realm World Kings in the time it took to snap his fingers.

Thus, he naturally didn’t find this surprising.

“Do you have anything else to say, little worm?” Su Yi turned to gaze down at the old Horned Dragon.

However, the Horned Dragon who called himself Divine Monarch Longriver seemed perfectly composed. “I have to admit that I misjudged you. Being forced to the ground is my rightful punishment.” freeweb novel. com

But then, he shook his head and looked at Su Yi. “However, I urge you to let this end here. Otherwise, you’re sure to bring about an enormous disaster.”

Su Yi’s eyebrows rose slightly, while Meng Changyun snorted and slapped the old Horned Dragon across the face. “Death is imminent, yet you’re still talking tough? You must be insane!”

The crisp slap left the old Horned Dragon’s face red, swollen, and bleeding.

However, he laughed and said indifferently, “I don’t care at all about such petty humiliations.”

But it was then that the old pawnbroker said hurriedly, “Your Excellency Su, you can’t kill the old Horned Dragon.”

“What do you mean?” Su Yi was instantly confused.

The old pawnbroker had a conflicted look on his face. He sighed. “This involves our boss’s life!”

Su Yi’s gaze focused.

After a moment’s silence, he took out his wicker chair and sat down. “Explain it to me.”
