Chapter 549: The Ultimate Showdown!
"Then, leave it to Elder Bai."
Situ Liuyun nodded, concealing any traces of emotion on his face. At this moment, it seemed that this had undoubtedly resolved quite a bit of awkwardness.
"Thank you, sect leader."
As Elder Bai Mingshan finished speaking, his gaze finally landed on Su Yi. There was a fleeting coldness in his eyes, and then he lifted the unconscious Yun Lingfeng and soared into the sky, leaving.
Looking at Elder Bai Mingshan leaving away with Yun Lingfeng in his arms, the elders and Dharma Protectors on the high platform secretly breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that Elder Su might do something again and it would not end well.
After all, Elder Su had just recently taken action against a fellow elder, and they were well aware of his peculiar temper and unpredictable nature.
And though Yun Lingfeng may have been defeated, his identity as a Soul Tamer and his talent, even in defeat at the hands of Su Yi, only meant that Su Yi was even stronger. It couldn't diminish Yun Lingfeng's potential. If he were to grow in the future, given enough time, he would undoubtedly become a powerful figure that would resonate throughout the Divine Sword School.
As a disciple like Yun Lingfeng, from the perspective of the Divine Sword School, all the elders and Dharma Protectors definitely didn't want Yun Lingfeng to suffer any harm.
"Elder Su, your disciple Su Yi is really impressive!"
On the high platform, the two elders glanced at each other and quietly spoke to Elder Su.
The two elders' words were not said out of fear that Elder Su would do something, but rather, they sincerely admired Su Yi's strength, which everyone could see.
"Um."
Elder Su made a soft sound in his throat, acknowledging the words of the second elder, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Elder Su, Su Yi just used a sword, it seems to be from the person who left from the Divine Sword Cliff, right?"
Elder Su looked like he responded, and the third elder also glanced and spoke up, saying that Su Yi's sword seemed very similar to the one left by a senior from the Divine Sword School.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Dharma Protectors looked at each other with concern in their eyes.
The sword technique called Nameless Broken Sword Technique from the Divine Sword Cliff, they all knew, was left by a senior elder from the Divine Sword School.
It is said that the elder in the past, had great strength and once traveled across the entire continent, leaving behind a famous reputation. Unfortunately, life has its limits and cannot escape the fate of life and death. In the final moments of the elder's life, they carved a few stone drawings, claiming that their lifelong efforts were gathered in those drawings, and that they would be obtained by those who were destined.
For many years, many disciples of the Divine Sword School, even the school's strongest warriors, couldn't figure out anything from them. In the end, only one of the stone drawings remained, becoming a fragmentary sword diagram.
Finally, the strongest warriors of the Divine Sword School had no choice but to place this drawing on the Divine Sword Cliff.
"That sword, perhaps it was obtained from the Divine Sword Cliff," many concerned eyes looked around, and Elder Su nodded in agreement.
"Is it really true? No wonder that sword is extraordinary!"
With an elder speaking up, his eyes filled with astonishment, it turned out that Su Yi had actually comprehended that painting.
"Elder Su, would you like to come sit here? Let's switch seats."
Situ Liuyun also spoke up, with a bitter smile on his face. According to seniority, Elder Su is actually his senior uncle. If it weren't for being the sect leader of the Divine Sword School, he would have to pay him a big respect right now.
"No need, you are the sect leader of the Divine Sword School, and should rightfully sit in the main seat. I'm fine sitting here, just casually observing," Elder Su said calmly.
The elders and Dharma Protectors around secretly smiled bitterly. Everyone could tell that Elder Su wasn't just casually looking around.
For so many years, Elder Su had never laid eyes on the Grand Swordsmanship Competition. But today, he came clearly because of that Su Yi.
"Elder Su, congratulations on finding such exceptional disciples. The Divine Sword School is truly fortunate!"
"Congratulations, Elder Su," the elders exclaimed happily.
Looking at Elder Su, it seems like his mood is unusually good today. You know, normally Elder Su wouldn't even bother to pay attention to anyone. The surrounding elders and Dharma Protectors also appear less tense.
Compared to the elders and Dharma Protectors on the platform, the disciples in the surrounding area had dull and lifeless expressions. The atmosphere was strangely quiet for no apparent reason.
All the shocking scenes that had just unfolded left the disciples in the audience feeling overwhelmed and finding it difficult to comprehend what had happened.
Everyone believed that Su Yi would suffer severe injuries or even death, because Yun Lingfeng revealed his hidden identity as a Soul Tamer.
But under the terrifying attacks of the Soul Tamer, Su Yi once again astonished everyone in the audience. With incredible strength, he defeated Yun Lingfeng effortlessly.
In the end, if it weren't for Elder Bai's intervention, Yun Lingfeng would have been in grave danger at this moment.
This made many people see the fierceness of Su Yi. Inside the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, everything Su Yi did was daring and bold. Among the Divine Sword School, he was like no one before, but he had never actually taken a life.
Even though he could have commanded the demon beasts to attack and plunder all the inner disciples, it seemed that Su Yi had control over them not to intentionally harm anyone. He only took their space bags and left.
When they saw Su Yi's merciless kick and the unhidden intent to kill in his eyes, many people realized that Su Yi was definitely not a soft-hearted person.
If you anger this person, even in a confrontation, they would still be willing to take a life.
It was clear that Yun Lingfeng struck first, which then provoked Su Yi.
This also made some people, who were looking at the thin figure of the young boy on the stage, feel fear in their hearts.
The young boy is not someone who refrains from killing. If you genuinely cross his limits, you will have to face his merciless revenge. He will not hesitate to strike!
On the stage of the showdown, Su Yi stood quietly with his aura hidden. His black hair was slightly tousled as he watched Elder Bai Mingshan and Yun Lingfeng leave. His eyebrows, which were slightly raised before, relaxed a bit, and then his gaze shifted to the slender figure sitting on the elevated platform. In his heart, there was a warm feeling, something quite special.
"I declare Su Yi as the winner of this round!"
Under Situ Liuyun's suggestive gaze, the voice of Dharma Protector Hou Changming spread out and echoed through Spirit Sword Peak.
"Boss Su Yi, well done!"
"Boss Su Yi is so powerful!"
As Dharma Protector Hou Changming's voice faded away, Elder Su was seen sitting on the elevated platform. Zhang Qing, Qing Chao, Liu Ji, and the others, without any expectation, shouted loudly.
"Su Yi, well done! You're so mighty!"
The inner disciples were filled with excitement and shouted with raised arms.
Su Yi, at least for now, still held the status of an outer disciple of the Divine Sword School. It could be said that he represented the inner disciples of the Divine Sword School as well.
"Su Yi is unbeatable!"
"Su Yi, well done!"
At this moment, all those outer disciples on the field had little concern, and suddenly there was a continuous chorus of shouts that resounded throughout the square, echoing and reverberating, reaching up to the sky!
In the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, Su Yi had never once faced any outer disciples before.
On the contrary, the inner disciples and direct disciples were defeated, allowing the outer disciples, who had always been under pressure, to secretly rejoice in their hearts.
In that moment, as this breathtaking scene unfolded, a group of outer disciples could no longer contain their excitement and erupted into joyful cheers.
In an instant, the outer disciples raised their arms and shouted all together, causing Spirit Sword Peak to erupt with exhilaration!
"Su Yi is really powerful, so strong, almost like a superhuman!"
There were direct disciples and inner disciples who also spoke up. Although they had suffered setbacks in the past, at this moment, they couldn't deny how incredibly strong Su Yi was. His level of strength was truly extraordinary.
"When did this person appear? Is he Elder Su's disciple?"
The young disciples who had come to spectate were also filled with awe as they witnessed the scene.
"If this Su Yi had come five years earlier, no, if Mu Yao, Yun Lingfeng, and the others had all come five years earlier, perhaps they wouldn't have encountered any trouble!"
Some of the disciples from the previous generation, with astonished expressions, spoke up, "If Su Yi, Mu Yao, Yun Lingfeng, and the others were a few years older and had joined our generation five years earlier, those outstanding figures from our generation might not have enjoyed such glory and reputation."
At this moment, the most shocked were Ying Qianqian, Gong Qi, Liu Yunchuan, and the other direct disciples. This outcome was completely beyond what they had expected.
"That man is surprisingly strong!"
Gong Qi pouted and looked at the young boy on the duel platform at this moment. On his youthful face, there seemed to be a slight mix of maturity and determination. Upon closer inspection, he actually looked quite pleasing to the eye. However, whenever she remembered how that man had repeatedly flirted with her in front of others, her face involuntarily turned red and her cheeks grew hot.
"Unfathomable!" exclaimed with wonder.
Feeling the excitement and commotion all around, the elders and Dharma Protector on the raised platform was filled with a sense of awe that couldn't easily be calmed.
Also, because they had recognized Yun Lingfeng's strength and understood the terrifying nature of his spiritual attacks, the Dharma Protectors and elders were even more amazed and shocked at this moment!
At this very moment, these elders and Dharma Protectors, how could they possibly know the immense strength of Su Yi's soul, which was undoubtedly more abnormal than his physical body and cultivation level combined.
Inside the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, Su Yi, through a fortunate encounter, successfully cultivated the Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul.
The Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul, harnessing the souls of countless beings, strengthens its own soul!
Yun Lingfeng's powerful spiritual attack, as it entered Su Yi's mind, indeed had an impact on him.
But this type of soul attack only momentarily affected Su Yi, as the Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul in his mind swiftly took control with its commanding and imposing aura, directly suppressing and devouring it.
Yun Lingfeng's final move was a purely spiritual attack, and because of that, it was easily overpowered and consumed by Su Yi's Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul.
At this moment, if Yun Lingfeng knew that all his efforts to completely neutralize Su Yi's spiritual attack had not only failed but also ended up benefiting Su Yi tremendously, strengthening his soul, one can only imagine how frustrated and angered he would be, perhaps even to the point of spitting out blood in utter disbelief.
Mu Yao's gaze, at this moment, was fixed on Su Yi. In her beautiful eyes, a hint of emotion surged.
Listening to the cheers around him, Su Yi took a deep breath. He didn't dwell on Yun Lingfeng's matters anymore. His ultimate goal in participating in the Grand Swordsmanship Competition was to win the championship and gain the extraordinary benefits offered by the Divine Sword School.
"Boom!"
On the remaining two dueling platforms, once again, there were twinkling lights. On the ancient and weathered platforms, intricate patterns resembling secret symbols emerged, filling the air with a majestic aura. The radiance emitted was exceptionally dazzling.
"Rumble..." The square trembled, and the two dueling platforms shifted across the square, as if the entire Spirit Sword Peak was shaking and roaring without cease.
The two dueling platforms, in a shocking collision, merged together in the end.
In that instant, the radiance on the dueling platform became so dazzling that it was blinding. The aura was majestic, reaching up into the sky.
