Chapter 365: Too Arrogant!
As the words fell, the surrounding crowd was left stunned, and the entire square erupted into an uproar.
In front of Huo Dongqiu, this guy dared to dismiss him outright. It was beyond arrogance—it was audacity of the highest degree.
The disciples of the Fifteenth Sword Peak radiated cold fury. Their piercing glares exuded malice, and their powerful auras surged outward, causing the square to tremble under their combined pressure.
“You’re even more arrogant than I imagined. Perhaps you have some skills, but today, your overconfidence in the Divine Sword School will come to an end!”
Huo Dongqiu’s calm demeanor darkened, his expression turning icily cold. His gaze locked onto Su Yi, sharp and oppressive, as though it could freeze the air around them.
Su Yi, however, stood unfazed, arms crossed, the broken sword on his back as unyielding as his stance. His deep, steady gaze swept over the group of disciples from the Fifteenth Sword Peak.
“I’ll say it one more time: stop provoking me.”
“How dare you!”
“You’re too arrogant!”
Boom!
The moment Su Yi’s words fell, the disciples from the Fifteenth Sword Peak erupted. A few stomped heavily on the ground, their suppressed fury exploding outward. Some gripped their swords tightly, their blades gleaming with murderous intent.
Suddenly, the air was filled with surging energy as their auras flared without restraint. The sheer pressure of their combined force caused the onlookers to stumble and retreat instinctively.
More than twenty powerful presences converged, several of them at the Yuan Spirit Realm, exuding overwhelming strength.
“Oh no… Oh no…”
Zhang Qing’s face turned pale as his body trembled uncontrollably. Under the crushing weight of their auras, he could barely stand.
He glanced at Su Yi, standing calmly amidst this storm of power. Zhang Qing’s emotions were a chaotic mix of awe and disbelief. Facing a direct disciple like Huo Dongqiu and his group, Su Yi remained unfazed. His arrogance was utterly bewildering.
“I understand you,” Huo Dongqiu said coldly, his tone darkening further. “You think you can rely on your skills to make a name for yourself in the Divine Sword School and become an inner disciple as soon as possible.”
Huo Dongqiu took a step forward, his voice filled with venom. “But unfortunately for you, your ambition ends here. Your rise will be cut short!”
“Come at me together, and stop wasting time!”
Su Yi’s calm yet commanding tone reverberated across the square. It was clear that leaving without a fight was no longer an option.
“Too arrogant!”
Huo Dongqiu’s patience snapped. His face hardened further, and his hand gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.
Buzz!
A thunderous hum resonated through the square as Huo Dongqiu unsheathed his blade. The sword radiated a dazzling light, and its fierce aura swept across the square, suffocating everyone in its vicinity.
“A treasure weapon…”
Su Yi’s sharp eyes focused intently on the blade in Huo Dongqiu’s hand. A flicker of fiery passion lit up his gaze.
The sword’s refinement was extraordinary, far beyond the level of typical Yuan Weapons or Xuan Weapons.
“It’s worthy of being from a large and prestigious school,” Su Yi muttered to himself, slightly moved. He finally understood why the Divine Sword School was considered such a powerhouse—their resources were indeed exceptional. Even the disciples’ weapons were of a higher caliber.
Boom!
Huo Dongqiu’s aura erupted as he gripped his precious sword. He stamped the ground and pointed the blade directly at Su Yi.
A fierce and sharp energy locked onto Su Yi instantly, filling the air with an almost tangible tension.
The square seemed to shrink under the oppressive atmosphere, the weight of their impending clash pressing down on everyone. The intensity was suffocating, and not even a breath of air seemed able to escape the charged battlefield.
Su Yi stood with his arms crossed, his body perfectly still.
Facing Huo Dongqiu before him, Su Yi understood that the situation had escalated beyond his control. Since there was no turning back and no path for retreat, he decided to press forward with no reservations.
Standing against the entirety of Fifteenth Sword Peak—and even the Divine Sword School itself—Su Yi realized he had no choice but to deter them completely if he wanted peace. Though he wasn’t sure how long he would remain in the Divine Sword School, the unending stream of challenges had already made it clear: intimidation alone wasn’t enough.
Ba Yi’s defeat earlier that day had failed to dissuade others from provoking him. That failure made it clear that the lesson he delivered in the morning wasn’t severe enough.
Moreover, this wasn’t just any sect—it was the Divine Sword School, a top-tier force in Central State, located near the Sacred Mountain. It was home to countless talented disciples with unparalleled aptitude, most of whom were around Su Yi’s age.
As he faced the finest talents of the Divine Sword School, a surge of fighting spirit ignited within Su Yi’s heart. If he couldn’t overcome these obstacles in front of him, how could he ever hope to face the Sacred Mountain, a force even stronger than the Divine Sword School?
He wasn’t just fighting his enemies—he was testing himself. Su Yi wanted to see what kind of strength a King Grade, Emperor Grade, and the elite disciples of a prestigious sect could muster. This confrontation with a direct disciple of the Divine Sword School was a measure of his own growth and potential.
Winning this battle wouldn’t just silence his challengers; it would prove his strength to himself.
This fight wasn’t just about arrogance—it was a testament to his determination and the culmination of his journey thus far. From the Forest of Demons to the Demon Woods, and now to the Divine Sword School, Su Yi had forged himself through trials and tribulations. This battle was his reward for his relentless hard work.
Though his body remained motionless, Su Yi’s thoughts raced. Taking a deep breath, he raised his calm gaze toward Huo Dongqiu and said, “Come at me together and save me the trouble of dealing with you one by one!”
The onlookers, now numbering nearly two thousand, had crowded around the small square. Yet, despite their numbers, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Faced with Huo Dongqiu’s evident fury, Su Yi’s nonchalant demeanor only heightened the crowd’s astonishment. Many believed Su Yi had lost his mind. An outer disciple openly challenging a direct disciple—such insolence was unprecedented!
The disciples of the Fifteenth Sword Peak were visibly seething. Their anger was nearly uncontrollable, and if Huo Dongqiu hadn’t stepped forward, they likely would have attacked already.
In Huo Dongqiu’s hand, a dazzling blue light gleamed from his sword as he poured his internal energy into the weapon. His icy gaze remained fixed on Su Yi, radiating cold determination.
Boom!
The air around Huo Dongqiu crackled with energy as a green light coursed through his veins, spreading across his body. The entire square shook under the weight of his aura.
“The Second Grade of Yuan Spirit Realm!”
A gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd as Huo Dongqiu’s unrestrained power became apparent. His cultivation at the Second Grade of Yuan Spirit Realm was undeniable.
The powerful aura enveloping Huo Dongqiu created a small storm of energy, roaring and surging outward. His presence was like a tidal wave, oppressive and overwhelming.
Su Yi remained unshaken as he observed Huo Dongqiu. The revelation of his opponent’s cultivation level came as no surprise. Su Yi had anticipated as much and already formulated his approach.
Huo Dongqiu’s voice was cold and arrogant as he said, “Let’s see if your arrogance holds up. I’ll give you a chance to make the first move—because if you don’t, you won’t even have the opportunity to strike!”
As he spoke, Huo Dongqiu’s sword hummed with power, sparking with flashes of lightning. The dazzling green light surrounding him grew brighter, sending tremors through the square and creating an almost suffocating atmosphere.
