First Immortal of the Sword-Chapter 921: Frantic With Anger

As the White Bone Emperor, Divine Monarch Falling Star, and the other terrifying existences attacked, the tides turned.

Boom!

The entire battlefield descended into upheaval. Heaven and earth shook, and currents of destructive energy swept outward.

“Dark Vassals? I’ve been curious to test your cultivation bases for a long time!” The White Bone Emperor laughed coldly, then shot forward and swung his fist at one of the three Dark Vassals.

His skeleton shone with resplendent, crystalline light and flowing, blood-red markings of the Grand Dao. Although he threw a punch, it seemed more like an unstoppable spear tearing through the sky with indomitable force.

As strong as the Dark Vassal was, it had no choice but to fight back with all its strength.

“Hah!” Divine Monarch Falling Star bellowed and waved his feather whisk, summoning a waterfall of clustered blood-red stars that bore down on another of the Dark Vassals.

His force and momentum weren’t the least bit inferior to the White Bone Emperor’s!

And Evil Emperor Red Silk, the Illusory Cloud Demon, and the other terrifying existences each chose an opponent and fought with everything they had.

Whoosh!

Evil Emperor Red Silk charged at a short, fat man in yellow robes.

This was the fifth libationer of the Mysterious Netherworld Divine Court, an early-stage Profound Serenity Emperor.

He’d been fighting Lu Changming, Yun Songzi, and the others all this time. However, when Evil Emperor Red Silk charged at him, his expression changed dramatically, and he immediately withdrew from battle.

“Die!” an explosive?shout?rang out.

Bloody mist suddenly surged through the sky, transforming into a stalwart man with jade-colored eyes and red hair.

The Illusory Cloud Demon!

Bang!

One slap, and the short, fat man was sent flying. Blood poured from the seven apertures of his face, and his power over the Laws almost dissipated.

But before he could stabilize himself, Feng Yuzhi directed her snow-white Dao Sword through the air, and it pierced right through the man’s chest.

The short fat man instantly split into pieces. Blood rained down from the heavens.

Evil Emperor Red Silk, the Illusory Cloud Demon, and Feng Yuzhi’s joint pincer attack had destroyed the fifth libationer of the Mysterious Netherworld Divine Court. Nothing remained, not even his soul!

A miserable, desperate shout followed shortly after.

Not far away, Yun Songzi and Lu Changming seized the opportunity to suppress and kill the white-bearded old man in purple, the sixth libationer of the Mysterious Netherworld Divine Court.

Their attacks exploded his physical body, and his soul had only just escaped its flesh when Lu Changming unleashed divine flames, incinerating it completely.

Yun Songzi and Lu Changming both found this incomparably satisfying.

Earlier, the five libationers had three Dark Vassals’ joint?onslaught had?left them overpowered and ineffective. They could only struggle bitterly on.

But now, the situation?had?changed completely!

“Die! Die!?Die! Die!?Die! Die!”

It was a chaotic battle of Emperors. The sounds of slaughter shook both heaven and earth, throwing the mountains, rivers, and sky into disarray.

Just a few breaths of time later.

The tall, stalwart second libationer and the blue-armored fourth libationer fell in battle.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to flee, but they were surrounded on all sides by terrifying existences. There was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide!

“They’re too strong! How is this any different from the rumored wars of gods and immortals?” one of the Emperors atop Yin-Yang Divine Mountain muttered in astonishment.

This battle had essentially become a stage exclusive to Profound Serenity Emperors. Their power over the Grand Dao could easily collapse the skies and obliterate mountains and rivers!

Nevermind ordinary cultivators; even Profound Illumination Emperors were in no way qualified to get mixed up in this!

“If I hadn’t seen this with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have dared imagine that so many incomparably terrifying evil spirits dwelled within the City of the Wrongfully Dead,” someone else muttered in a daze.

The Dark Vassals were terrifying enough already, but when the White Bone Emperor, Divine Monarch Falling Star, and the other hegemons of their forbidden zones attacked as one, everyone realized just how perilous the City of the Wrongfully Dead really was.

And the way the Emperors looked at Su Yi changed.

The young man in blue had sprawled out languidly all this time, playing the part of a spectator. He completely ignored the slaughter unfolding around him, and he drank with relish, perfectly calm and at ease.

Who could have imagined that someone as mighty as the spirit of the Tianya Dark Torchlight, or beings as terrifying as the White Bone Emperor, would follow his orders?

It was just far too unbelievable!

The grand battle raged on with increasing intensity.

From time to time, mighty Emperors fell in battle. The entire stretch of heaven and earth was in chaos. The sound of slaughter intermixed with invocations of the Dao, creating a nigh-apocalyptic vision of carnage.

The Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow was overcome with fury. It was so angry that it almost coughed up blood.

It had already sent all of its subordinates into battle, but it was obvious that their side was inferior in this battle of peak combatants.

“That damned kid!!!!” The Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow’s eyes bulged.

Over the years, the crow had continuously prepared and plotted to save the Netherworld King.

It was to this end that it gathered the Dark Vassals, established the Mysterious Netherworld Divine Court, assimilated the various heretical factions of the Netherworld River Territory, and built a formation of blood sacrifice…

Had nothing unexpected happened, tonight’s operation would have netted them enough living Emperors to perform a sacrifice to the Netherworld King.

Who’d have thought that Su Yi’s appearance would ruin its carefully laid plans?

How could the Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow not hate him?

What left the bird even more aggrieved was that at the most recent Lantern Festival, it was this very Spiritual Revolution Realm young man who’d ruined its plans!

The crow didn’t just fail to steal the core treasure of the Cui Family, the Netherworld Judge’s Writing Brush. No, it almost died in the process.

Grudges against Su?Yi both?old and?new had accumulated?in the crow’s heart. It wasn’t nothing more than to fight Su Yi with everything it had.

Suddenly, an icy voice resounded throughout the battlefield. “Old-timer, you’d best be on your way to the next world!”

You Xue swung the Burning Silence Ruler, bearing down on the skies as she attacked Grand Libationer Malevolent Release.

Yun Songzi, Feng Yuzhi, and Lu Changming were all nearby. They all helped restrict the old monk’s movements.

“Want to kill me? You people won’t be enough,” Malevolent Release said expressionlessly.

He was already covered in wounds, but his aura was nonetheless incomparably forceful. Despite being surrounded, he showed no sign of backing down.

Boom!

He clasped his palms together and took out a string of black prayer beads.

Each bead reflected the illusory projection of what looked like a demonic god.

There were twenty-four of them in total!

Every avatar of a demonic god was comparable to the full-force attack of a Profound Serenity Emperor.

Although the demonic avatars were destroyed upon use, such power was enough to flatten any expert of the same cultivation with ease!

This was Malevolent Release’s trump card, but right now, his main focus was staying alive. He couldn’t be bothered with preserving his treasures.

Boom!

The twenty-four avatars of demonic gods took to the skies. The air collapsed as a flood of the destructive power of the Grand Dao enveloped it.

However, before this attack could display its full power…

Clang!!

The strange humming of a sword suddenly reverberated throughout the entire battlefield.

At that moment, everyone stiffened, from the White Bone Emperor and the other terrifying existences to the Dark Vassals and experts of the Mysterious Netherworld Divine Court. All of them felt terror well within their hearts.

Even the Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow, who stood at the far end of the battlefield, felt its mind buzz. It shuddered from head to toe, and its feathers stood on end.

Just what kind of terrifying sword is that, to unleash such a sword hum?

The hum influenced Malevolent Release’s heart too.

Rather, the humming of the sword was directed at him!

The moment the humming filled the air, he felt as if the tip of a sword had pierced his soul, or as if his head were about to split. Terrifying sword force bore down on his mind, and his power of the Grand Dao showed signs of stagnation and disarray.

It was in that moment that——

The Burning Silence Ruler and its fiery Laws descended upon him.

Boom!

A massive, earth-shaking impact rang out.

The monk instantly caught ablaze, and soon, his blood, flesh, sinews, and bones were reduced to ash.

In the last moments before his death, he subconsciously looked at the distant peak of Yin-Yang Divine Mountain.

A young man in blue sat there, sipping wine.

He didn’t so much as look in the old monk’s direction!

“You can’t spare me a glance even as you kill me, huh…” Malevolent Release sighed.

Then, his soul dissipated into nothingness.

Boom!

The twenty-four prayer beads disappeared from the sky without ever unleashing their power.

Now that Malevolent Release was dead, all five libationers of the Mysterious Netherworld Divine Court had fallen. Or six if you counted the third libationer who'd died in the LItlte Necropolis.

The three remaining Dark Vassals fought stubbornly, but they were covered in wounds. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍．𝒏𝒆𝒕

As for the boundlessly vast army of evil spirits? In a conflict of this level, they amounted to no more than ants. No one paid them any heed.

Because all of them knew that it was the Profound Serenity Emperors who’d decide the outcome of this battle!

It was clear that the forces of the Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow couldn’t turn this around.

But it was then that Su Yi’s calm voice rang out. “You Xue, go take down the little crow with the White Bone Emperor and Divine Monarch Falling Star. If it offers up its head, let it die with dignity. Otherwise, you’ll just have to help it along.”

“Got it.” You Xue nodded, turned, and shot into the distance. The White Bone Emperor and Divine Monarch Falling Star followed shortly after.

Meanwhile, Evil Emperor Red Silk and the others joined Feng Yuzhi and company in surrounding the three Dark Vassals.

Atop Yin-Yang Divine Mountain.

Qing Teng, Qing Mu, and Yuan?Linning, heaved sighs of relief.

They’d accompanied Su Yi to the various forbidden grounds to ask their most terrifying existences for “help”, so they’d long since anticipated that Su Yi’s intervention would crush the forces of the Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow.

.

Still, when they actually saw it with their own eyes, they couldn’t help but feel rueful.

From beginning to end, Su Yi really had just played the role of spectator. Even so,?who among them could fail to realize that it was his arrival that had changed the tides of battle?

“So this is His Excellency Su’s magnificent bearing! Planning everything from behind the scenes and calm no matter what’s happening around him. He turned this around with a flip of his palm!” Qing Mu’s heart swelled with emotion.

Qing Teng, however, found this a bit of a pity.

In his former peak, Su Xuanjun and his sword could have flattened this entire battlefield with casual, understated ease!

Suddenly, the Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow’s infuriated roar resounded from over the horizon. “I’ll repay this grudge one hundred times over, you little wretch!”

There was no doubt about it; the Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow had realized that the situation was no longer in its favor.

Before You Xue, the White Bone Emperor, and Divine Monarch Falling Star arrived, it shattered a dusty gray talisman.

Bang!

The obscure, mysterious power of the Laws surged into the air.

Then, the Nine Serenities Netherworld Crow disappeared into thin air. Not even the slightest trace of its aura remained.

Su Yi suddenly raised his head, as if he’d sensed something. “You Xue, you all wait here. I’ll be back soon.”

With that, he rose, put away his wicker chair, and waved his sleeves.

Whoosh!

The dwarf-like Old Yao White Eyebrows appeared out of nowhere.

“Your Excellency Su, is it this old man’s turn to assist you?” said the dwarf, a toadyish smile on his face. He sounded downright eager.

“Take me to the tombstone,” ordered Su Yi.

“Yes, sir!” Old Yao White Eyebrows straightforwardly agreed.
