Chapter 427: Ignorant of the Heights of Heaven and Earth!
“Injured!”
Su Yi’s brows furrowed deeply, and a dark expression clouded his face.
“Swish, swish…”
Moments later, the sound of wind cutting through the air reached them. Figures began to emerge from the thick forest and behind the boulders—dozens of them.
All were inner disciples of the Divine Sword School, each radiating an impressive aura and a strong, unmistakable presence. The leader carried a bow, an arrow already nocked and drawn.
Around thirty of the inner disciples immediately surrounded the Black Demon Mastiff. Some of them spotted Su Yi, Liu Ji, Zhang Qing, Xu Jiahui, and the others.
However, none of the inner disciples recognized Su Yi.
Despite his fame—his name well known to even the tens of thousands of inner disciples within the Divine Sword School—not a single one had ever seen him in person.
“Withdraw at once, or face the consequences!”
A few of the inner disciples, seeing several outer disciples present, became haughty and shouted at them.
“Why should we withdraw?”
Su Yi stood firm, showing no sign of retreating. His face was calm and composed.
The Black Demon Mastiff, with a fierce expression, positioned itself in front of Su Yi, subtly shielding him, its gaze unwaveringly focused on the group of inner disciples ahead.
Liu Ji, Zhang Qing, Xu Jiahui, and the others exchanged glances. They could tell that Su Yi was displeased.
“Do you want to die? Move out of the way and don’t interfere with us capturing this Black Demon Mastiff!”
Another inner disciple drew his sword, which gleamed with an extraordinary light—close to the level of a Spirit Weapon.
“Why should we clear the way for you? You injured my Black Demon Mastiff and still speak with such arrogance. Is this how you always behave—arrogant and condescending?”
Su Yi’s gaze darkened. The Black Demon Mastiff had become his companion once he subdued it, and seeing the creature injured only deepened his anger. These inner disciples continued to behave with such arrogance, treating everyone beneath them. It naturally upset him.
The inner disciples, upon hearing Su Yi’s words, exchanged confused looks. They had never seen an outer disciple speak to them like that.
“What an arrogant outer disciple, so ignorant and presumptuous. Clearly, he lacks proper discipline!” An inner disciple’s expression was cold, and his gaze was filled with disdain as he fixed it on Su Yi.
“Let’s capture the Black Demon Mastiff first; maybe we can find the Sword-patterned Stone.”
The leader of the inner disciples, still holding his bow, positioned himself to prevent the Black Demon Mastiff from escaping.
“This Black Demon Mastiff is special. We may be able to find Sword-patterned Stones inside its body. And if we can tame it, even better—though the chances of that are slim.”
“Ao…”
The Black Demon Mastiff growled lowly, showing its sharp teeth, its gaze burning with hostility toward the inner disciples before it.
“Hand over your space bags and leave immediately, or face the consequences.”
Su Yi’s eyes flickered with restrained fury. This was the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, so it was normal for inner disciples to hunt demon beasts. He had no reason to interfere—except that the Black Demon Mastiff was his companion now, and that made this situation different.
When Su Yi’s words were relayed, the inner disciples paused, momentarily stunned. Then, they burst into laughter.
“Hahaha… This is too funny…”
One inner disciple laughed, clearly mocking Su Yi. His gaze remained dismissive. Turning to his companions, he said, “It’s truly ridiculous. Do the outer disciples think they’re special just because they’re in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords?”
“Very well, we could use some more followers. Let’s reluctantly keep him.”
Some of the inner disciples expressed this thought. Instead of surrounding the outer disciples immediately, they preferred to form groups and head off to search for Sword-patterned Stones and other treasures.
“You’re not worthy to recruit us as followers. Leave the space bags behind and get out of here. Otherwise, no one will save you later!”
Zhang Qing spoke with clear resentment towards the inner disciples who showed such contempt for the outer disciples. He also tried to warn them.
“Ha-ha, what a rare sight. Among all the outer disciples of the Divine Sword School, these few truly stand out,” sneered another inner disciple.
“Don’t waste time with them. Capture the Black Demon Mastiff first, then deal with these outer disciples,” said one youth, believing that once they secured the Black Demon Mastiff, they could intimidate the outer disciples.
Another youth suggested that they first capture the Black Demon Mastiff, and only afterward deal with Su Yi and the others. He thought that the Black Demon Mastiff was the only thing these outer disciples feared, and the punishment could wait.
“I’ll only say this once: Drop your space bags and leave!”
Su Yi’s expression turned serious as he spoke again.
“How dare you! You’re courting death!”
The inner disciples were now furious. These outer disciples had completely disregarded them, and their arrogance had reached its limit.
“Whoosh!”
A figure shot forward, his foot generating a surge of elemental energy as he leapt into the air, darted past the Black Demon Mastiff, and thrust his sword directly toward Su Yi’s chest.
The sword gleamed with sharpness, aimed straight for Su Yi’s heart.
“Hmph!”
Su Yi remained calm and unyielding. With a cold snort, he raised his arm and swung it. A scarlet light flickered in his hand as he extended two fingers. In that split second, just as the sword’s tip was about to pierce his chest, he clamped it effortlessly between his fingers.
“Buzz!”
The treasure sword trembled, sending vibrations through the air.
The young inner disciple’s face shifted instantly. The sword in his hand felt as though it had become frozen, unable to move a single inch, no matter how hard he tried.
This unexpected turn of events left him utterly shocked.
“Get out!”
Su Yi shouted, and a red light exploded from between his fingers, followed by a surge of power.
“Crackling…”
The sword began to crack and splinter, piece by piece, as the inner disciple stood frozen in shock.
“Puff…”
Fresh blood spurted from the young man’s mouth as he was sent crashing backward to the ground.
Before the group of inner disciples could even react, the young man had already collapsed.
The once disdainful expressions on their faces slowly morphed into ones of horror.
An inner disciple with the cultivation of seventh grade in the Yuan Xuan Realm had been completely overpowered by an outer disciple.
Even more astonishing, Su Yi had shattered a Xuan Weapon-level treasure sword with ease.
This outer disciple was far more formidable than they had anticipated!
“Ah…”
The inner disciple screamed in agony, his body convulsing as blood dripped from his mouth.
“Shoo!”
Suddenly, the leader, the young man holding a curved bow, reacted with panic. He quickly drew and released his bow, firing an arrow straight at Su Yi.
“Be careful…”
Xu Jiahui gasped, her expression changing drastically as she warned Su Yi.
The arrow flew through the air, piercing straight through Su Yi’s chest.
The arrow struck, but there was no burst of blood or mist. Su Yi’s form simply began to dissipate, as though he were fading away.
“Su Yi…”
Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and the others went pale, fear evident in their faces.
