Chapter 383: Crush It!
Listening to Jian Shiyi’s words, Su Yi smiled lightly. Jian Shiyi appeared prouder than Ba Yi, Huo Dongqiu, and the others. Although proud, his character could be considered direct.
What mattered most was that Jian Shiyi’s personality was very appealing to Su Yi.
“Senior Brother Jian Shiyi shall emerge victorious!”
“Does an outer disciple really think he can overturn the heavens?”
…
Before the Divine Sword Cliff, loud cheering and shouting echoed from the surrounding plaza. Most of the voices came from inner disciples.
Many inner disciples had been defeated by Su Yi in the past. Losing to an outer disciple had caused embarrassment within the inner disciple community of Divine Sword School. As a result, these inner disciples naturally hoped for Su Yi’s defeat.
Although the outer disciples at the scene greatly outnumbered the inner disciples, they dared not cheer for Su Yi. The inner disciples’ presence made it clear that the outer disciples wouldn’t provoke them.
“If Jian Shiyi loses, it’ll be quite a spectacle!”
“Martial Brother Jian Shiyi cannot lose. That guy is just an outer disciple. How could he win against Martial Brother Jian Shiyi? He’s probably going to be captured and taken back to the Court of Justice soon!”
“I don’t think so. Huo Dongqiu was defeated in one move, proving that Su Yi does have some skill. The result of this battle isn’t set in stone.”
Among the crowd, several female disciples were arguing. Though most were inner disciples, their opinions were split.
Jian Shiyi’s superior skills, coupled with his handsome and stern face, made him highly popular among female disciples at Divine Sword School, earning him the nickname “Dark Horse Prince” in the hearts of many.
However, when gazing at Su Yi’s tall and upright figure, his three-dimensional features, deep and bright eyes beneath his slender sword eyebrows, and the proud temperament he exuded, many of the female disciples present were equally drawn to him.
In the corner of the crowd, about ten outer disciples stood together, reluctant to get too close. These were Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and other outer disciples from the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak.
News of Jian Shiyi from the Court of Justice waiting for five days and nights at Divine Sword Cliff had spread to the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak, which had been monitoring the situation.
“That’s Jian Shiyi from the Court of Justice. I wonder if Brother Su Yi can still win. If this gets back to the Court of Justice, it’ll be trouble. He might not be able to participate in the Grand Swordsmanship Competition anymore!” Zhang Qing whispered, anxiety in her voice.
With the crowd packed in the front, many inner disciples were present, and the outer disciples dared not approach. The Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak found itself in a delicate position, fearing trouble.
Xu Jiahui remained silent, her gaze fixed and intense, observing every movement on the field with keen focus. The surrounding discussions didn’t seem to affect Jian Shiyi or Su Yi in the arena.
Looking at Jian Shiyi, Su Yi raised an eyebrow slightly and said, “It’s true that there will always be someone better than me, just as there will always be new mountains beyond the one we see. But to me, Huo Dongqiu is not that mountain, and neither are you. So, if you try to stop me today, I will still defeat you.”
With a soft voice, Su Yi shrugged slightly. At the same time, a faint reddish aura began to emanate from within him. The seemingly slow-moving aura quickly enveloped his body, a strong force mixed with an inexplicable pressure spreading out like a shroud.
Feeling Su Yi’s breath, Jian Shiyi’s cold expression seemed to shift as if sensing something. The coldness in his face gradually faded, and his previously stern look grew more serious.
At the same time, a faint black earth elemental energy surged within Jian Shiyi’s body, and his eyes glimmered with a deep black light as he met Su Yi’s gaze and said, “It seems you have some concealed technique, but at least you’ve reached the Yuan Spirit Realm. You’re young and possess such cultivation, no wonder you were able to defeat Huo Dongqiu with a single move a few days ago.”
“Boom!”
As Jian Shiyi finished speaking, the faint earth-based aura within him trembled violently. A stronger energy than Su Yi’s erupted, causing the ground to shake and releasing a terrifying aura.
“Martial Brother Jian Shiyi is so powerful!”
Such an overwhelming force caused the spectators around to tremble, their eyes filled with awe and admiration.
“Relying on just his qi, he exudes such a powerful aura that resonates with the world’s energy, causing the earth to tremble. It’s unexpected that Jian Shiyi has already reached this level of mastery!”
A group of stewards whispered in awe and admiration from not far away.
Feeling Jian Shiyi’s breath, Su Yi’s expression shifted. Su Yi sighed inwardly, realizing that Jian Shiyi was indeed far stronger than Huo Dongqiu. His aura was well-hidden and difficult to discern, but at the very least, he must have reached the fourth grade of cultivation in the Yuan Spirit Realm. Otherwise, he would not have escaped Su Yi’s scrutiny.
“You defeated Huo Dongqiu in one move. Now, I wonder how many moves it will take to defeat you.”
Su Yi’s expression grew serious. Jian Shiyi, standing before him, was indeed a force to be reckoned with. Among his peers, he was now the closest thing to the mysterious young woman Su Yi had met days ago.
“Boom!”
As Su Yi’s voice fell silent, his aura surged, nearly matching the one emanating from Jian Shiyi’s body. Red light surrounded Su Yi as if he were engulfed by a ball of fire, the radiance undulating like flames and radiating intense heat and pressure.
As these two extraordinary young figures locked eyes in the arena, the surrounding area fell silent, with only the hissing and intertwining of their vital energies echoing.
The onlookers held their breath, captivated, their attention unbroken!
The atmosphere in the square grew thick with tension, the vitality radiating in all directions, as their gazes met in a flash of sparkling intensity.
“Let’s see if I am the mountain before you!”
Suddenly, Jian Shiyi moved. His gray robe fluttered, and his figure dashed out like a ghostly shadow.
“Even if you are a mountain in front of me, I will crush you beneath my feet!”
In that instant, Su Yi also moved, shouting as he did.
The two seemed to have an unspoken understanding, each acting at the same moment.
“Swoosh…”
Amid the commotion of the crowd, the two figures collided in the arena, dazzling the onlookers.
“Bang! Bang! Bang…”
The collision of the fire and earth elements caused a muffled roar to reverberate, a powerful gust of wind whipping up from the center of the square.
The speed of their movements was so fast that most of the spectators could only see blurry figures clashing.
The elements collided with the force of a storm, and violent winds swept through, causing the disciples nearby to retreat hastily.
“Brother Su Yi, you must hold on!”
At the edge of the square, Zhang Qing and the other outer disciples clenched their fists in nervousness, their faces full of concern.
