Chapter 1462 - Attacking the Heart
His massive, blood-colored wings were like knives slicing open the sky. They struck relentlessly, making the formation tremble and scattering a rain of light.
His eyes were blood-red and icy, and blood-colored light emanated from his thin frame. He fought with all the ferocity of a yao god.
He was just one person, but within just a few short moments, he’d flattened the Six Desires Demonist Sect’s gates, destroyed numerous peaks, and killed until their territories ran red with rivers of blood!
But his attacks didn\'t stop there. Even their immortal formation shook beneath the continuous onslaught. The experts seeking refuge within the main peak quivered with fright, and their hearts sank.
Who could fail to realize that their formation wouldn’t hold out much longer?
But Lady Snowjade’s confidence made their spirits soar.
Cards? And a lot of them at that? Enough to avert this crisis?
Lady Snowjade suddenly said, “Su Yi, if you don’t want the entire Shen Family to perish, you’d best have that old codger stay his hand!”
Her voice spread far and wide, beyond the bounds of the formation.
“You already can’t take it?” Su Yi’s eyes shone with a hint of derision. He took a sip of wine, then stepped into the air and waved Wu Meng back. “Step aside for now.”
“Yes, Your Eminence!” Wu Meng had been attacking the formation, but when he heard that, he withdrew his monstrous aura and returned to Su Yi’s side, meek and obedient as a servant.
Lady Snowjade and the others couldn’t help but gasp. A ferocious, unrivaled yao immortal was behaving so meekly before a young man. This was unquestionably unbelievable!
But seeing Wu Meng stay his hand as he was told was enormously comforting.
Wu Meng, however, laughed coldly to himself. The true spectacle starts now!
“Leave now, and I swear on the reputation of the Six Desires Demonist Sect that we’ll let every last member of the Shen Family go.” Lady Snowjade gazed at the distant Su Yi standing in the air. “Refuse, and I can have every last one of them killed the moment I give the order!”
Deathly silence ensued. All eyes were on Su Yi.
He simply laughed. “Is that so? Well, go ahead and give the orders. See what good that does you.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Lady Snowjade frowned. “Surely you don’t want the entire Shen Family to die because of you?”
Su Yi said nothing. Instead, Wu Meng said leisurely, “Black Toad, it’s your turn!”
Heaven and earth shook, and a figure shot through the air. He was a shabby, gaunt old man, and his hair and beard were scraggly and coarse.
Wisps of black immortal light revolved around him, making his imposing presence seem all the grander! But as soon as he arrived, he bowed to Su Yi. “Your subordinate, Black Toad, greets you, Your Eminence!”
His expression was full of excitement and delight.
Lady Snowjade and her allies were visibly stricken. A chill coursed through their hearts. Yet another terrifying expert of the Immortal Dao?
And he... he’s treating Su Yi with reverence too!
All of them instantly realized that this didn’t bode well. Their scalps went numb with fright.
“Is everything settled, you old gambling addict?” asked Su Yi.
The old man said hurriedly, “Rest assured, Your Eminence. Everything is in order!”
“Then go ahead and broaden their horizons,” ordered Su Yi.
“Yes, Your Eminence!” the old man nodded, turned, and waved his sleeve.
A string of bleeding heads rose into the air and hovered in the sky. There were over a hundred of them.
“How is this possible!?” cried out the high elder of the Six Desires Demonist Sect, fury written all over his face.
The bleeding heads all belonged to experts of the Six Desires Demonist Sect who’d been ordered to oversee the Abyssal Prison and guard the captive Shen clansmen!
The experts of the Six Desires Demonist Sect were stunned, too. All of them found this difficult to believe.
“No wonder our threats didn’t scare you. So, you saved the Shen clansmen already!” said Lady Snowjade, her face ashen. This obviously came as quite a shock, and her chest heaved with fury.
Su Yi laughed. “Don’t be in such a rush to lose your temper. This was just an appetizer. There’s still a lot you don’t know.”
“An appetizer?” Lady Snowjade took a deep breath and said coldly, “Tell me, then. What else I don’t know?”
Su Yi didn’t even pause to think. “You\'re waiting for that immortal to return from Star Origin Mountain.”
Lady Snowjade’s delicate frame stiffened, and a hint of panic flashed across her face. She said in disbelief, “Don’t tell me...”
“That’s right. He’s already dead,” a clear, hearty voice rang out.
A white-robed man with a jade fan appeared in the air accompanying this voice.
Immortal qi circulated around him like celestial tides, his imposing presence startling the heavens and shaking the earth.
But as soon as he arrived, he withdrew his aura and solemnly bowed to Su Yi. “Your subordinate Bai Tuo greets you, Your Eminence!”
Yet another immortal!
Lady Snowjade and the others felt as if they’d been struck by lightning. Their minds practically went blank.
By now, a full three immortal powerhouses had shown up!
And they all revered Su Yi as if he were a god!
“Impossible! Ancestor Ming Xiao is an expert of the Immortal Dao too. How could something have happened to him?” shrieked Lady Snowjade, her beautiful face deathly pale.
As the leader of her sect, she was shrewd and cunning. Everything that had happened thus far had shocked her, but she hadn’t lost her rationality.
But now, she finally lost her composure!
“Impossible? Well, I guess this thing doesn\'t exist then!” The white-robed Bai Tuo flung a bloodied corpse into the sky.
It belonged to a tall, stalwart elder, but his whole body was covered in startling burns, and his head hung limply from his broken neck.
Even in this state, the experts of the Six Desire Demonist Sect recognized him at a glance. That was Ancestor Ming Xiao! A terrifying immortal powerhouse of the Six Desires Demonist Sect!
“Ancestor!!!”
A grief-stricken shout rang out.
Everyone felt a chill in their hands and feet. They were on the verge of breaking down.
Lady Snowjade was dumbstruck too. She stood there in a daze, unable to accept this.
She’d ordered Ancestor Ming Xiao to oversee the Star Origin Mountains personally, all to take down Su Yi. Who’d have thought that Ancestor Ming Xiao would die like this!?
This came as far too heavy a blow. Lady Snowjade almost felt as if the skies were falling.
Bai Tuo considerately took it upon himself to explain, “There were around thirty small fries on Star Origin Mountain. They’re dead too, but I thought their corpses weren\'t exactly worth bringing back to show you all.”
His voice echoed through the otherwise deathly silence. The air seemed to solidify, so oppressive that the crowd almost couldn’t breathe.
Lady Snowjade suddenly shrieked, “Su Yi, do you really think you’ve won? You’re wrong!”
She waved. “Second Elder, bring forth the hostage!”
The second elder stepped forth carrying a woman.
“Su Yi, look! Do you see who this is?” Lady Snowjade gnashed her teeth, her beautiful face ashen and contorted.
The captive was a woman in ragged clothing. Her hair was loose and disheveled, and her entire body was smeared with blood. A black chain pierced her shoulder and wrapped around her entire body, making her an incomparably pitiful sight.
She raised her head with great difficulty and fixed her hollow gaze on the distant Su Yi. When she saw him, she trembled from head to toe.
Two streams of tears poured down her face.
Complete and utter excitement and delight.
This woman was none other than Mu Zijin. She was Shen Mu’s junior apprentice sister and the proprietor of the Pawnshop of the Heavens!
She and Shen Mu had cultivated alongside each other. They were childhood friends.
Later, in the Wilds, she and Su Xuanjun bonded through conflict, developing a close bond.
“See that? That’s your childhood friend, your junior apprentice sister, your master’s daughter! She’s been searching for you all this time, even going so far as to cross the River of Spacetime for you,” Lady Snowjade said harshly. “But now, she’s my prisoner. If you don’t care about her life, I can go ahead and kill her right now!”
She was the leader of the Six Desires Demonist Sect, but she was showing signs of madness.
Su Yi saw this, and he couldn’t help but laugh.
Wu Meng, Black Toad, Bai Tuo, and the others laughed alongside him.
Their laughter seemed extraordinarily grating. When she heard it, Lady Snowjade couldn’t restrain her fury!
“I’ll kill her! Let’s see if you can still laugh then!” hissed Lady Snowjade. “Second Elder, do it!”
“Got it!” The second elder raised his right hand and slammed it at Mu Zijin’s forehead.
The second elder’s right hand suddenly caught ablaze. The flames spread up his arm to his shoulders and neck. In the blink of an eye, nothing remained of him but ash.
The nearby crowd was stunned. All of them shrunk back.
Lady Snowjade was stunned, and her eyes widened.
Meanwhile, the badly wounded, blood-covered Mu Zijin rose and bowed obediently to the distant Su Yi. “Your subordinate Shui He greets you, Your Eminence”
As her voice rang out, her appearance changed. She was now a silver-haired, moving young beauty with a sweet smile on her face.
Wisps of electric Laws of the Immortal Dao flowed around her. Even just standing there casually, she bore down on the crowd to the point that they could barely breathe.
A moment later, Lady Snowjade and the others broke down. They were completely dazed.
Yet another immortal!
Furthermore, she’d infiltrated their ranks, disguised herself as their hostage, and tricked every last one of them!!
With an immortal formation protecting the main peak of the Thousand Eddies Divine Mountains, the crowd was startled and fearful, but they still felt hope.
The discovery that an immortal had infiltrated their ranks was the straw that broke the camel’s back. They instantly gave into despair!
“Shui He, your crying just now was really something. It was just too realistic! I almost didn’t think it was really you,” laughed Bai Tuo.
The silver-haired Shui He smiled. “An act is ultimately just an act. There’s no way I could trick His Eminence.”
When she looked at Su Yi, her gaze was as soft as water.
“Kill those eyesores first,” ordered Su Yi.
“Mm!” The silver-haired Shui He assented obediently.
But before she could attack...
Thud! Thud!
The Cloud Soaring Transcendents of the other seven Demonist sects broke down. Their knees hit the ground, and they begged for mercy in quavering voices.
Even the other experts of the Six Desires Demonist Sect panicked. All of them flung themselves to the ground, lowering their heads and quivering from head to toe.
Only Lady Snowjade remained standing, dazed and alone, her face deathly pale.
Alas, kneeling wasn’t enough to save anyone from this disaster. Shui He attacked, letting loose a wave of silvery electric light. It swept over the prostrating crowd, killing them on the spot.
Only Lady Snowjade remained alive!
The leader of the Six Desires Demonist Sect seemed unable to take the weight of this blow. Her face was ashen, her expression wooden. Even her eyes seemed hollow.
She slowly raised her head to look at the distant Su Yi. “You gathered so many immortals to deal with me. I’m to die before such a lineup.... Should I feel honored?”
Su Yi shook his head. “You think too highly of yourself. The one I really want to kill is your martial uncle. I’m just getting rid of you while I’m at it.”
“????”
Splurt!
Lady Snowjade’s chest heaved, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He was destroying her heart before killing her!
