Chapter 591: Rivers of Blood to Vent My Fury
One slash slew a blue flood dragon, cleaved a treasure cauldron, and killed Mo Wuya!
What did he do when an ant dared to talk nonsense and provoke him?
He killed it!
This bloody spectacle shook everyone present. Their eyes widened in response to Mo Wuya’s death, and their expressions changed dramatically.
Even Xia Qingyuan couldn’t help but gasp.
She would have never guessed that Su Yi would attack so directly. This was a Spiritual Manifestation Realm expert of the older generation, yet Su Yi had crushed him as easily as if he were an ant!
“Why aren’t you laughing anymore?” Su Yi swept his gaze across the room, a mocking smile tugging at his lips.
He held the inky black, ethereal Abstruse God Sword. It shone with imposing luster.
The grand hall was in uproar. Everyone, from Xia Linyuan and the imperial family higher-ups to Huan Tianhe and the other emissaries, shot to their feet. Alarm and anger were written all over their faces.
“Fellow Daoist Xia, the boy dared commit murder on Mount Heavenbristle. Why haven’t you intervened yet!?” bellowed Huan Tianhe.
As he spoke, the other emissaries of the ancient faction were instantly on guard. They circulated their cultivation bases, took out their treasures, and readied themselves for battle.
They were preparing to face a mighty foe!
When they came here, they had no intention of clashing with Su Yi head-on.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have used the prestige of the factions backing them to pressure Xia Linyuan into using the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation against Su Yi.
“He’s audacious to the extreme!” bellowed a yellow-robed elder. This prominent member of the imperial family was beside himself with anger; Su Yi’s overbearing attack had provoked him.
“Noisy.” Su Yi’s eyes flashed like cold lightning. He swung the Abstruse God Sword through the air and attacked once more.
Whoosh!
A three-foot streak of sword qi flashed through the air and cleaved into the yellow-robed elder.
It was utterly sharp and forceful, as if nothing could block its momentum.
Splitting Mountains and Seas.
The yellow-robed elder was already completely on guard, but this attack still made his hair stand on end; he sensed a potentially lethal threat.
He dodged without the slightest hesitation.
Splurt!
Fresh blood splattered.
Although the yellow-robed elder dodged, the slash swept across his right arm, severing it. He shrieked in agony, staggered, and almost fell.
The sight sent a chill down the onlookers’ spines.
They’d long since known that although Su Yi was in the Gathering Stars Realm, his power was heaven-defying. They knew that he’d once single-handedly swept through an alliance of Spiritual Manifestation Realm nine monsters of the ancient era!
The reason they were so fearless even in the face of Su Yi was simply that they had confidence in the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation.
However, the way the situation was developing nonetheless shocked them.
Su Yi didn’t seem the least bit concerned about their threats. He just attacked without any warning!
It was then that they finally understood on a visceral level just how terrifyingly strong Su Yi was.
He might look calm and unassuming, yet he'd just killed Mo Wuya in a single understated movement!
Then, in a single slash, he severed the yellow-robed elder’s arm!
“You bastard! Mount Heavenbristle is no place for a brazen little whelp like you to act wantonly!” roared Xia Linyuan.
His sleeves billowed around him as he took out a golden formation disc and circulated it.
Boom!
The entirety of the vast, majestic Mount Heavenbristle shook. The boundless, ancient energy fluctuations of a formation appeared throughout the mountain, as if awakening from dormancy.
Runes arced through the air, shaking the sky!
“Why is the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation active!?”
“My heavens! Don’t tell me someone barged into Mount Heavenbristle?”
Throughout the mountain, countless people were startled. All of them set down their tasks.
Grand Elder Xia Changhong of the imperial family reacted immediately. He shouted, “Quick, to the Solar King’s estate!”
He’d already realized that something was amiss, and he immediately took action.
Meanwhile, the higher-ups scattered throughout the mountain all took action. All of them rushed to the Solar King’s estate.
All of them were well aware that the emperor had entrusted the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation’s formation disc to Third Elder Xia Linyuan.
Thus, everything happening now had to involve him!
Currently, misty light circulated around the Solar King’s residence. The power of the formation burst forth and overlapped like flood water, creating incomparable, surging radiance.
Within the grand hall, Huan Tianhe and the other emissaries sighed in relief.
What a powerful formation! It lives up to its reputation as the former third-strongest killing formation on the continent. Even now, severely damaged, it’s powerful enough to slay Spirit Dao cultivators with ease!?Huan Tianhe sighed to himself.
Without such a formation to protect them, how could the various ancient factions have failed to occupy Nine Tripod City by now?
“Quick! Kill that little bastard!” bellowed the yellow-robed elder whose arm had been cut off. His expression was full of venom.
The dazzling light of the formation surged around Su Yi, threatening to envelop him completely.
“Su Yi, as a representative of the imperial family, I didn’t want to interfere with your affairs. However, I would never have guessed that you’d repeatedly provoke me or run rampant like this. In that case, don’t blame me for my poor manners!”
Xia Linyuan controlled the formation disc, his expression cold, cruel, and indifferent.
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and tapped the disc.
Boom!
The power of the formation rumbled and surged like a tidal wave, transforming into countless streaks of electricity, which enveloped Su Yi.
That terrifying destructive power made everyone’s hair stand on end. All of them were visibly astonished.
It wouldn’t have been an exaggeration to say that, were they to suffer such an attack, they would die beyond a shadow of a doubt!
However, a mocking smile tugged at Su Yi’s lips. He laughed dryly and shook his head.
These old fools are actually using the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation against me? How is that any different from seeking out their own demise?
“Condense!” Su Yi’s sleeves billowed around him, and misty blue light circulated around his fingers.
Suddenly, the light outlined an elaborate and profound diagram, which slowly circulated around him.
The rampaging lightning manifested of the formation had, moments prior, filled the air. Now, it was like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea; all of it poured uncontrollably into the diagram surrounding Su Yi.
Immediately afterward, the diagram burst with radiant light, and its aura soared!
“Hm?” Xia Linyuan’s?pupils constricted.?What’s this?
Huan Tianhe and the others also sensed that something was amiss, and their eyes widened.?This kid… can actually neutralize the power of the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation!?
“Suppress him!” Xia Linyuan’s voice resounded like spring thunder.
Boom!
The power of the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation changed dramatically. It lit up with golden light so bright, it stung the eyes, then transformed into a single golden tripod, which swept toward Su Yi.
Its majesty was inestimably greater than before!
However, Su Yi only whispered, “The formation has only just recovered some of its vitality. If I let you do as you please, you’ll surely ruin it.”
His voice had only just rung out when he shot forward, taking nine steps into the air. His hands suddenly formed a simple, yet mysterious hand seal in the air.
The Great Amplification Formation Controlling Incantation!
The formation diagram Su Yi had condensed then soared through the air.
As Su Yi finished the diagram, it lit up and formed a hundred-foot golden hand, filling the hall’s airspace.
Rumble! Boom!
Sparks scattered like rain, and misty spiritual light danced about like mad.
Beneath the onlookers’ astonished gazes, the giant hand firmly grasped the golden tripod bearing down on Su Yi, rendering it unable to move.
Immediately afterward, the tripod burst into pieces, becoming turbulent fragments of the formation’s power. The golden hand devoured them, leaving nothing behind!
“This…” Huan Tianhe and the others were dumbstruck. Their eyes widened, and their jaws hung slack.
That was the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation! A formation capable of slaying any Spirit Dao cultivator with ease!
Yet now, a mere Gathering Stars Realm youth had effortlessly neutralized it…
Seeing this, Xia Linyuan completely lost his composure. He couldn’t help but shriek, “That’s not possible! How could you possibly control the power of the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation?”
Controlling the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation?
Huan Tianhe and the others were already wide-eyed and dumbstruck, but when they heard this, their minds practically went blank.?This was the core defensive formation of the imperial family. How could an outsider possibly control it?
Only Xia Qingyuan’s heart filled with ruefulness upon seeing this.?When Father first learned that Brother Su?could?repair the formation, wasn’t he shocked too?
The young woman looked at Su Yi. His tall, lean figure stood in the air, dazzling to behold.?How is he any different from an immortal from on high?
“Capture!” Su Yi extended his finger and tapped.
That inscrutable, imposing, giant golden hand instantly burst and scattered into a rain of light.
At the same time, the power of the formation covering the hall, as well as the rest of the mountain, receded like waters at low tide. Soon, all returned to its former stillness.
The hall had been reduced to rubble.
And the people in it? Each looked as if they’d been struck by lightning. Their eyes widened in disbelief; they were quite a spectacle in their own right.
The Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier… was repressed, just like that!?
“Do you have anything else left?” Su Yi looked at Xia Linyuan and asked calmly.
“Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!” Xia Linyuan shouted, activating the formation disc in a frenzy.
However, embarrassingly, no matter how he attempted to guide it, the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation didn’t react in the slightest…
When they saw this, the other imperial family members and the various emissaries felt their hearts sink and their bodies stiffen.
Earlier, it was because of the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation that they dared contend with Su Yi and treat him as helpless prey.
Yet now, Su Yi had already effortlessly suppressed their greatest pillar of support. Of course they lost their nerve! How could they not?
“Su Yi, this is Mount Heavenbristle! If you continue, you’ll make enemies of the entire Great Xia!” roared a member of the imperial family.
Su Yi didn’t so much as look at him. He just swung his sword.
Splurt!
The speaker’s head separated from his body; he’d been decapitated on the spit.
Even back in the Origin Palace Realm, Su Yi slew Huo Tiandu, an established older-generation Spiritual Manifestation Realm expert with ease.
Upon entering the Gathering Stars Realm, he was strong enough to single-handedly suppress the alliance of Huan Shaoyou and eight other Spiritual Manifestation monsters of the ancient era.
Now, he was already in the mid-stage Gathering Stars Realm, and he’d fully mastered three peerless Dao Charms. Even the Abstruse God Sword had been reforged, and its power was far greater than before.
Given the circumstances, these older-generation Spiritual Manifestation cultivators had long since ceased to interest Su Yi. Killing them was no different from slaughtering dogs and monkeys!
“Today, none of you will escape. Only by making this place run with rivers of blood can I vent my fury!”
Su Yi’s voice was calm, and there wasn’t even the slightest ripple of emotion in his distant gaze.
However, his decisiveness made everyone else present lose their composure.
“Su Yi, we’re here as emissaries! When nations fight, they don’t kill each other’s messengers. If you kill us, the factions behind us will fight you to the bitter end!” a man in Confucian robes shouted harshly. “Can you bear the?conseque—”
Whoosh!
There was a flash of sword light.
The man in Confucian robes didn’t even have time to speak before something pierced his throat. His body burst, spraying blood all over the floor.
“Even in the face of your imminent demise, you dare speak so ostentatiously? You’re truly detestable,” Su Yi said softly.
The group felt as if they’d been plunged into an icy abyss, or as if their souls had left their bodies.
