Chapter 366: One Move!

“You go ahead and make the first move. If I make a move, I’m afraid you won’t have a chance to do so!”

At this moment, Su Yi remained calm and motionless, his black hair and robes fluttering in the wind. He stood like an immovable rock, unaffected by the tension around him.

“Isn’t that too arrogant?”

“It’s time to start!”

“Could this Su Yi be Huo Dongqiu’s rival?”

Stirring gazes surged forward, their eyes locked on the stage, eager not to miss a single moment. The entire square was deathly silent.

Even the fierce flying demon beasts perched in the sky had quieted.

The atmosphere was thick with tension, as if the very space itself was about to explode.

Everyone knew that once Huo Dongqiu made his move, it would be an overwhelming and merciless attack. He would surely defeat Su Yi in a crushing manner.

Was this arrogant outer sect disciple really capable of such insolence, or had he gone mad? To dare disregard a direct disciple—it could only end in consequences.

“Dingdang!”

Suddenly, a clear sound rang out, causing one of the bystanders to flinch in fear as something fell to the ground. The noise shattered the tense atmosphere.

“Buzz!”

With a flash, Huo Dongqiu moved. He gripped his treasured sword tightly, stomped his foot on the ground, and released a burst of green wood elemental energy from his sole.

“Swoosh…”

The powerful surge of energy transformed Huo Dongqiu’s figure into a blur, like a cheetah, as he shot toward Su Yi with explosive force.

Simultaneously, a brilliant blue light erupted from the sword in his hand. Though the tip of the sword was still some distance away, the light surged forward, almost instantly reaching Su Yi’s throat.

“Whew!”

The sword light tore through the air with a fierce, surging force. Behind it, the breath it carried billowed like turbulent waves, unstoppable in its momentum.

The audience held their breath in anticipation, their eyes fixed on the scene, and they couldn’t help but gasp in shock as they watched Su Yi.

Only the disciples from the Fifteenth Sword Peak sneered.

From their perspective, with Huo Dongqiu taking action, that arrogant kid was about to suffer the consequences.

“Oh no, what should we do!”

Zhang Qing’s face turned pale, his eyes wide with fear.

He stood behind Su Yi and, from afar, could feel the terrifying force radiating from the impending strike. The residual energy alone was enough to make his hair stand on end.

Under the eyes of the entire crowd, Huo Dongqiu’s sword light appeared like lightning, heading straight for Su Yi’s throat. The sword was sharp, fierce, and unstoppable.

The attack was overwhelming—its momentum akin to a landslide or tsunami!

Then, just as the sword light neared, with everyone holding their breath, something astonishing happened. Instead of the expected bloodshed, when the sword tip was less than half an inch from Su Yi’s throat, his head seemed to vanish like a fleeting shadow, dispersing as though blown away by the wind.

At the same moment, Huo Dongqiu’s sword froze in midair, as if solidified. It became impossible to move, even an inch.

In the next instant, Su Yi’s figure was standing just to the side of where he had been, without having moved his feet at all. He had simply leaned to one side, dodging the lightning-fast sword tip with ease.

All eyes followed the movement of a hand now gripping Huo Dongqiu’s wrist tightly. It was as if the palm had forced the sword into stillness, suppressing it completely.

With that strike, the overwhelming momentum it had carried quietly dissipated.

The entire crowd watched in stunned silence as they turned their gaze toward Su Yi’s figure, his posture resolute and unyielding.

Only the sound of his black robes rustling in the wind remained.

The entire place erupted in shock and excitement.

In that split second, Huo Dongqiu seemed to sense something. A flicker of blue flashed in his eyes, and his pupils contracted.

But it was too late. Su Yi smiled, a red glow flashing in his eyes.

“Boom!”

In an instant, a mighty aura surged forth from within, creating waves of energy like flames burning fiercely, carrying an immense sense of majesty. It was as if an unbeatable emperor had arrived, dominating and destructive.

Su Yi’s eyes suddenly turned red, like flames, and in that moment, a surge of fighting spirit rushed through his chest.

His slim body stood tall, his hair flying in the wind. His robes fluttered loudly in the intense gusts, giving everyone an inexplicable feeling of fear and trembling.

Feeling the aura right in front of him, Huo Dongqiu’s eyes suddenly contracted, a horrified expression flashing across his face. His heart began to race, trembling uncontrollably, as a sense of unease crawled up from the depths of his soul.

But Huo Dongqiu was no fool. As a direct disciple, he had no flaws and represented absolute strength among the peers of the Divine Sword School.

In an instant, Huo Dongqiu gritted his teeth. His left arm trembled, his fingers clenched tightly, and his fist exploded with green light, surging outward.

As Huo Dongqiu threw a punch, a bright red light shone ahead, and the punch had already come first.

The force generated by the fist, wrapped in this red light, caused slight ripples in the surrounding space. “Boom!”

The two fists collided instantly, creating a muffled sound like thunder that immediately exploded.

“Bang!”

With a loud, thundering sound and a forceful impact, the blue stone floor cracked open. In a series of “ka ka” sounds, countless ground cracks spread out in all directions around Su Yi and Huo Dongqiu, like a spiderweb.

“Click…”

“Poof…”

At the same time, in full view of everyone, Huo Dongqiu’s body flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of bloody mist, and crashed like a shooting meteor.

Huo Dongqiu’s body slid several meters across the ground of the square before finally coming to a stop.

Wherever he passed, the ground cracked and burst open, spreading out with flying debris and dust clouds.

When this scene unfolded, terror-stricken eyes filled the entire room.

Everyone turned their gaze toward Huo Dongqiu, who was in a miserable state—his hair disheveled, blood dripping from his mouth.

What was most shocking was that Huo Dongqiu’s left arm, from his fist onward, was covered in blood, with skin and flesh torn apart, revealing his white bones clearly.

With one punch, Huo Dongqiu had been heavily injured.

More importantly, in the collision of their fists, despite Huo Dongqiu’s cultivation at the Second Grade of Yuan Spirit Realm, both of his fists had been shattered. What kind of formidable power was required to achieve such a result?

“Pooh…”

Huo Dongqiu continued to cough blood, enduring the severe pain as he struggled to get up. His face was pale, contorted in agony, transforming his once-handsome appearance into something ferocious.

Everyone stood frozen in shock, their faces twitching uncontrollably as their hearts raced!

This result had completely exceeded everyone’s expectations!
