Chapter 549: The Ultimate Showdown!
“Then, we’ll leave it to Elder Bai.”
Situ Liuyun nodded, masking any trace of emotion on his face. At this moment, this solution had clearly resolved much of the tension.
“Thank you, sect leader.”
After Elder Bai Mingshan finished speaking, his gaze finally settled on Su Yi. A fleeting coldness flashed in his eyes before he lifted the unconscious Yun Lingfeng and soared into the sky, departing.
Watching Elder Bai Mingshan leave with Yun Lingfeng in his arms, the elders and Dharma Protectors on the elevated platform secretly breathed sighs of relief, fearing that Elder Su might act again and create complications.
After all, Elder Su had recently taken action against a fellow elder, and they were well aware of his unpredictable temperament and eccentric nature.
Though Yun Lingfeng had been defeated, his identity as a Soul Tamer and his talent remained significant. His defeat at Su Yi’s hands only proved that Su Yi was more formidable – it couldn’t diminish Yun Lingfeng’s potential. Given enough time to develop, he would undoubtedly become a powerful figure within the Divine Sword School.
For a disciple like Yun Lingfeng, from the Divine Sword School’s perspective, none of the elders and Dharma Protectors wished to see him harmed.
“Elder Su, your disciple Su Yi is truly remarkable!”
On the elevated platform, the two elders exchanged glances and spoke quietly to Elder Su.
Their words weren’t born from fear that Elder Su might act, but rather from genuine admiration for Su Yi’s evident strength.
“Mm.”
Elder Su made a soft sound of acknowledgment to the second elder’s words, his expression unchanged.
“Elder Su, the sword Su Yi just used – it appears to be from the one who left from the Divine Sword Cliff, correct?”
The third elder spoke up, noting that Su Yi’s sword seemed remarkably similar to one left by a senior from the Divine Sword School.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Dharma Protectors exchanged concerned glances.
The Nameless Broken Sword Technique from the Divine Sword Cliff was well-known to all as a legacy from a senior elder of the Divine Sword School.
Legend held that this elder, whose strength was renowned across the continent, had left an enduring legacy. Yet even they couldn’t escape mortality’s grasp. In their final moments, they carved several stone drawings, claiming these contained their lifetime of knowledge, destined for worthy successors.
For generations, countless Divine Sword School disciples, even their mightiest warriors, failed to decipher these drawings. Eventually, only one remained – a fragmentary sword diagram.
Finally, the school’s strongest warriors had no choice but to place this drawing on the Divine Sword Cliff.
“That sword must have been obtained from the Divine Sword Cliff,” many concerned eyes met as Elder Su nodded in agreement.
“Is that so? No wonder that sword possesses such extraordinary qualities!”
An elder exclaimed, his eyes filled with wonder at the revelation that Su Yi had comprehended the ancient drawing.
“Elder Su, would you care to take this seat? Let us exchange places.”
Situ Liuyun spoke with a wry smile. By seniority, Elder Su was his senior uncle. If not for his position as sect leader, he would need to show much greater deference.
“There’s no need. You are the Divine Sword School’s sect leader and rightfully occupy the main seat. I’m content observing from here,” Elder Su replied calmly.
The surrounding elders and Dharma Protectors shared knowing smiles. Everyone understood Elder Su wasn’t merely observing.
For years, Elder Su had shown no interest in the Grand Swordsmanship Competition. Today, his presence was clearly due to Su Yi.
“Elder Su, congratulations on finding such an exceptional disciple. The Divine Sword School is truly fortunate!”
“Congratulations, Elder Su,” the elders expressed their joy.
Elder Su’s unusually good mood was evident to all. Typically, he wouldn’t acknowledge anyone’s presence. The atmosphere among the elders and Dharma Protectors noticeably relaxed.
In contrast, the disciples watching from below wore dull expressions. An strange silence had settled over them.
The shocking events they’d witnessed left them struggling to process what had transpired.
Everyone had expected Su Yi to suffer grave injuries or death when Yun Lingfeng revealed his identity as a Soul Tamer.
Yet under the Soul Tamer’s terrifying attacks, Su Yi had once again astounded the audience. With remarkable strength, he had defeated Yun Lingfeng with apparent ease.
Indeed, if Elder Bai hadn’t intervened, Yun Lingfeng would likely be in dire straits now.
This demonstrated Su Yi’s fierce nature. Throughout the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, his actions had been bold and daring. Unlike anyone before in the Divine Sword School, he had never taken a life.
Though he could have commanded demon beasts to attack and plunder all inner disciples, Su Yi had restrained them from causing intentional harm. He had only taken their space bags before departing.
Witnessing his merciless kick and unconcealed killing intent, many realized Su Yi was far from gentle-hearted.
Anyone who provoked his anger, even in formal combat, risked their life.
Clearly, Yun Lingfeng had struck first, provoking Su Yi’s response.
This realization caused many observing the thin young figure on stage to feel fear in their hearts.
This youth showed no hesitation about killing. Cross his boundaries, and you’d face his merciless vengeance. He would strike without restraint!
On the dueling platform, Su Yi stood quietly, his aura concealed. His black hair slightly disheveled, he watched Elder Bai Mingshan and Yun Lingfeng depart. His raised eyebrows gradually relaxed as his gaze shifted to the slender figure on the elevated platform. A special warmth filled his heart.
“I declare Su Yi the victor of this round!”
Following Situ Liuyun’s meaningful look, Dharma Protector Hou Changming’s voice resonated throughout Spirit Sword Peak.
“Boss Su Yi, magnificent!”
“Boss Su Yi is incredible!”
As Dharma Protector Hou Changming’s voice faded, with Elder Su watching from above, Zhang Qing, Qing Chao, Liu Ji, and others shouted enthusiastically.
“Su Yi, outstanding! You’re extraordinary!”
The inner disciples cheered excitedly with raised arms.
Su Yi, still technically an outer disciple, represented both inner and outer disciples of the Divine Sword School.
“Su Yi is invincible!”
“Well done, Su Yi!”
The outer disciples, their concerns forgotten, raised a chorus of shouts that echoed throughout the square and reached skyward!
In the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, Su Yi had never confronted outer disciples.
Instead, his victories over inner and direct disciples had secretly delighted the typically oppressed outer disciples.
Now, witnessing this breathtaking scene, they could no longer contain their excitement and burst into joyous cheers.
The outer disciples’ unified shouts and raised arms caused Spirit Sword Peak to erupt with exhilaration!
“Su Yi’s power is extraordinary, almost superhuman!”
Even direct and inner disciples who had previously suffered defeats now acknowledged Su Yi’s remarkable strength.
“When did this person emerge? Is he truly Elder Su’s disciple?”
Young spectating disciples watched in awe.
“If Su Yi had appeared five years earlier – no, if Mu Yao, Yun Lingfeng, and the others had all come then, perhaps they wouldn’t have faced such challenges!”
Some senior disciples remarked, “Had Su Yi, Mu Yao, Yun Lingfeng, and the others been a few years older and joined our generation, those renowned figures might not have enjoyed such prominence.”
Most shocked were Ying Qianqian, Gong Qi, Liu Yunchuan, and other direct disciples. This outcome defied all expectations.
“That man’s strength is astonishing!”
Gong Qi observed the young figure on the platform, noting how his youthful features held hints of maturity and determination. He was actually quite handsome, though remembering his previous flirtations made her face flush.
“Truly unfathomable!” others exclaimed in wonder.
The surrounding excitement and commotion filled the elders and Dharma Protectors on the raised platform with lingering awe.
Understanding Yun Lingfeng’s strength and his terrifying spiritual attacks made them even more amazed and shocked!
Little did these elders and Dharma Protectors know the true extent of Su Yi’s soul strength, which far surpassed his physical and cultivation abilities.
Within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, Su Yi had fortunately cultivated the Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul.
This technique strengthened one’s soul by harnessing countless other souls!
Yun Lingfeng’s powerful spiritual attack had indeed affected Su Yi’s mind.
Yet this impact proved momentary, as Su Yi’s Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul swiftly dominated with its commanding presence, suppressing and consuming the attack.
Yun Lingfeng’s final purely spiritual attack had been easily overwhelmed and absorbed by Su Yi’s Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul.
Had Yun Lingfeng known his efforts to neutralize Su Yi had not only failed but strengthened his opponent’s soul, he might have collapsed in frustration and anger.
Mu Yao’s gaze remained fixed on Su Yi, emotion surging in her beautiful eyes.
Amidst the surrounding cheers, Su Yi drew a deep breath. He dismissed thoughts of Yun Lingfeng, focusing on his true goal – winning the Grand Swordsmanship Competition’s championship and claiming the Divine Sword School’s extraordinary rewards.
“Boom!”
The remaining two dueling platforms suddenly illuminated. Ancient patterns resembling secret symbols emerged on their weathered surfaces, filling the air with majestic aura. Their radiance grew exceptionally bright.
“Rumble…” The square trembled as the platforms shifted, making Spirit Sword Peak shake and roar continuously.
The two platforms, in a stunning collision, finally merged as one.
At that moment, the platform’s radiance became blindingly brilliant. Its majestic aura reached toward the heavens.
