Chapter 751: The Saber of Divine Hatred
He also said that Ye Xiao’s Grand Dao Spirit Wheel was transcendently high quality. It was called the Purgatory of Slaughter.
And now, Ye Xiao was in the late-stage Spiritual Revolution Realm!
“Su Yi, there’s still time to obediently hand over the Seed of the Azure,” Ye Jinzhi couldn’t help but interject, a trace of pity in her expression. “If you don’t, you’re doomed.”
Su Yi laughed, then swept his gaze across the Ye Family experts before looking up at the sea of clouds, where Ye Xiao was waiting for him. “Wipe your eyes and watch carefully.”
As he spoke, the woman in the feather coat brought Ye Yunlan over.
“What are you doing here? Foolish!” When Ye Yunlan saw Su Yi on Moonview Plateau, his expression changed dramatically.
“You’re the foolish one,” sighed Su Yi.
Ye Yunlan wasn’t hurt, but he was obviously in extremely low spirits. His hair was disheveled, and he slumped. His cultivation base had been sealed, making him no different from an ordinary mortal.
“Once I’ve killed Ye Xiao, I’ll take you away from here,” said Su Yi. Then, before Ye Yunlan could respond, he stepped into the air and soared toward the dome of heaven.
“Arrogant!” The Ye Family experts said disdainfully. They didn’t take Su Yi’s words at all seriously.
“Clan brother, you’ve spent the past few days imprisoned here on Falling Petal Mountain, and you likely don’t know what’s happened outside. Simply put, this nephew of yours is quite something. A few days ago, he cleaved through a heavenly tribulation and cut down twenty-five Spiritual Revolution Realm experts, throwing the world into uproar,” said Ye Jinzhi, a hint of mockery in her voice. “Even the young master said that of everyone in this world, only Su Yi is worthy of his attention.”
Ye Yunlan couldn’t help but be stunned.?Has Su Yi really grown that strong?
Ye Jinzhi pressed her lips into a smile. “So relax. Yes, he’s doomed to die beyond a doubt, but he gets to die at the young master’s hands, so he’ll be able to rest in peace.”
Ye Yunlan’s expression instantly darkened.
……
The sea of clouds churned, and the light of the heavens was dazzling.
Ye Xiao watched as Su Yi arrived several hundred feet away. He smiled and said, “I’m a saber cultivator. Saber cultivation is a path of slaughter and destruction. I heard that you’re a sword cultivator, so let’s see which is sharper: your sword or my saber.”
He’d only just said this when he rose to his full height.
Boom!
Ten thousand feet of clouds dispersed, and turbulent air currents churned.
A fiery, forceful, destructive aura emanated from Ye Xiao and swept out like an avalanche.
His long hair fluttered about, and his eyes shone with cold light. His aura overflowed, connecting heaven and earth!
His imposing momentum surpassed even Wang Zhongyang of the Frigid North Sword Pavilion, a peak Spiritual Revolution cultivator of the older generation!
Su Yi’s gaze was indifferent. “Swords and sabers have no eyes. If we’re to fight to the death, why waste time talking first? Draw your saber and let me see just what the so-called ‘homicidal maniac’ of the Mysterious Blue Realm can do.”
“As you wish.” Ye Xiao grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth.
Before his voice had finished echoing through the air, he turned over his palm. A long, bright, snow-white war saber hovered over his hand.
The blade was a full three feet long, and it shone with faint crimson light. A blood-soaked vision of purgatory surged within the blade, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood permeated with a monstrous aura of destruction.
But the most eye-catching part of the weapon was the blood-stained black cloth wrapped around the hilt. It emanated an unsettling black luster, dyeing the nearby skies black as ink.
Su Yi’s eyebrows shifted upward.
This was a vicious saber, one that had ended countless lives!
And the black wrap on the hilt was almost certainly made out of the skin of an Imperial Realm expert!
“My saber is named Divine Hatred. It’s my Natal Spirit Treasure, and it’s accompanied me in battle all this time. It’s taken the heads of over a hundred mighty foes of the Spirit Dao,” said Ye Xiao.
With his saber in hand, his aura turned vicious and tyrannical. His gaze was distant and imposing, like the fires of purgatory. He seemed like a demon of slaughter straight out of the pits of hell.
The skies were originally clear, but now, they were suddenly dark and oppressive. The nearby air currents quivered, and a tide of pungent, bloody baleful qi covered the sky.
Even watching from a distance, the Ye Family experts’ hearts trembled.
Ye Yunlan’s heart was on tenterhooks. He was from the Kunwu Mountain Ye Family, so he was naturally well aware of just how powerful Ye Xiao was.
“Reminds me of the phrase ‘even gods and ghosts hate him.’ What a crude name for a saber.” Su Yi shook his head.
“Whether it’s crude or not doesn’t matter. It’s enough so long as it\'s in accordance with my mentality,” said Ye Xiao. As he spoke, he suddenly took a step in the air, gripped his saber, and approached Su Yi. “And why haven’t you drawn your sword yet?”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each step he took, the sky collapsed beneath his feet, booming like a thunderclap. At the same time, his fierce momentum and murderous intent rose by another level.
Like the march of a demonic sovereign, collapsing both heaven and earth.
His terrifying momentum could easily intimidate even others of the same cultivation!
“The power you’ve displayed thus far is insufficient to make me draw my blade,” said Su Yi. He stood there with his hands behind his back, his expression as calm and tranquil as before.
“I’ll take those as your last words!” Ye Xiao laughed uproariously, then suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He’d taken nine steps exactly.
Upon taking the ninth and final step, his accumulated momentum peaked. That terrifying murderous intent seemed material, and his saber let out an impassioned hum.
In the Mysterious Blue Realm, he was known as a homicidal maniac, but that was because the populace simply didn’t understand the Grand Dao of Slaughter.
What was the Dao of Slaughter?
It was casting thoughts of one’s own survival to the back of one’s mind and attacking with the intent of utter devastation, holding nothing in reserve!
Who cares whether you are an immortal from on high or a devil from the pits of hell? Neither can withstand my killing intent!
Boom!
As Ye Xiao lowered his foot, he suddenly raised his right hand and slashed.
His slash was as simple as could be, but it cleaved through heaven and earth as if they were made of canvas, creating a perfectly straight rift.
The terrifying power of slaughter and bloodshed glinted on his blade, bringing with it black shadows that cast the world into darkness.
This slash was simple to the extreme, and condensed to the extreme, too. Ye Xiao’s late-stage Spiritual Revolution Realm cultivation, essence, qi, and spirit were fully fused into it.
Nothing else changed; he was just using his whole body to control his saber. This made his attack terrifyingly tyrannical!
When they witnessed this attack, the Ye Family experts gathered on Moonview Plateau felt a stinging pain in their eyes and a rending pain in their hearts. It was terrifying!
Their expressions instantly changed.
An attack like that was enough to terrify even gods and ghosts!!
There was no getting around it: Ye Xiao had reason to be proud.
Even in the Nine Provinces of the Wilds, someone like him could compete with the top elites of peak-level orthodoxies\' younger generations.
This slash really did fully embody both his personal strength and the might of the Grand Dao.
But to Su Yi, Ye Xiao… really wasn’t worthy of his notice right now!
Su Yi just stood in place, unmoving. The sleeves of his right arm billowed as his hand formed seals. He then gently pressed down on the air.
Like an immortal caressing the mountains and rivers, or a deity pressing down on the sun and moon.
It was a simple, understated gesture, without the slightest flourish, but this strike manifested the full strength of Su Yi’s cultivation base.
Boom!!
His palm imprint flew through the air, as if collapsing the skies or overturning heaven and earth. Wherever it passed, it forged bravely ahead, and nothing could stand in its way.
Bang!!
When Ye Xiao’s black saber light slammed into the palm imprint, it trembled violently, producing a deafening impact.
Sparks scattered like rain, and tears appeared in the saber light.
Then, it exploded with a bang.
Terrifying destructive energy swept outward. Su Yi’s palm imprint had already reached the skies above Ye Xiao, and it bore down on him.
Ye Xiao’s eyes focused slightly. He wasn’t surprised. Rather, he was delighted; this seemed to ignite his will to fight. He let out a long shout and suddenly swung his saber.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Ye Xiao swung his saber like lightning, stirring up a destructive windstorm of slaughter. Concentrated saber qi shot forth, like streaks of flowing black light tearing through the sky. He was boundlessly domineering.
But against his expectations, Su Yi’s palm strike was incomparably terrifying. It took him thirteen slashes to cut through the palm strike, which shattered with a bang.
The Ye Family experts’ expressions all shifted, and they were almost struck dumb. Even if you’d hit them over the head, they would never have guessed a single palm would force someone as strong as Ye Xiao to attack so many times in succession!
This meant that Su Yi, who they’d assumed was the inferior combatant, was far stronger than they’d imagined!
Ye Yunlan’s eyes lit up. He looked both gratified and excited.
Even he would never have guessed that Su Yi would be this powerful immediately after entering the Spiritual Incarnation Realm!
But Su Yi gave the onlookers no time to think. He took a step forward, formed a seal, and attacked once more.
As light and free as a banished immortal.
But when he struck, it was as if he’d lifted a primordial divine mountain and hurled it onto the world below.
The nearby skies collapsed with a bang, and the clouds collapsed and dissipated.
That terrifying fist imprint was so dazzling that the onlookers almost couldn’t keep their eyes open.
“Impressive, Su Yi! This is truly a delightful surprise!” Ye Xiao’s eyes shone, and his laughter shook the heavens.
He didn’t retreat. Instead, he advanced, swinging his saber. The long, snow-white blade of Divine Hatred roared, the sound shaking the heavens. Saber qi surged like floodwaters, blotting out the sun.
However, in the blink of an eye—
Boom!
An earth-shaking collision followed, and both Ye Xiao and his saber were forced back. It seemed Ye Xiao was bearing an utterly enormous amount of power; with each step back he took, the skies rumbled and collapsed beneath his feet.
Ye Xiao’s handsome face alternated white and green. He looked a bit unseemly.
“This…”
The Ye Family experts were stunned once more. Their scalps went numb, and they completely lost their cool.
They could explain the first exchange by saying that Ye Xiao underestimated his opponent, letting Su Yi seize the advantage.
But now, Ye Xiao?had?been forced back once more. Getting complacent wasn’t enough to explain that!
There was no doubt about it. Both they and Ye Xiao had underestimated how terrifying Su Yi was.
There was only one explanation for all of this: days prior, in the grand battle outside Nine Tripod City, Su Yi hadn’t used his full strength, not even when he killed a full twenty-five Spiritual Revolution cultivators!
In other words, using that battle to gauge his abilities had led to a severe and dangerous misunderstanding. They subconsciously underestimated Su Yi’s abilities!
But, with that said… just how powerful had Su Yi become?
The Ye Family experts were bewildered. In turn,?Ye Yunlan was so excited that he clenched his fists, and his chest heaved. Hot blood coursed through him, and he longed to beat a gong and drum and cheer Su Yi on.
