Chapter 836: The Beginnings of Sword Intent!
Su Yi scanned his surroundings before abruptly closing his eyes. As he did, the knife in his hand vanished, replaced by a black sword.
This was the same sword Su Yi had taken from Mo Baiming after killing him not long ago.
Several individuals from the Sacred Mountain group recognized the sword in Su Yi’s grip, their faces twitching in displeasure.
Although Mo Baiming may not have matched Chu Changhuan in talent, he was still an exceptionally skilled individual. Su Yi’s slaying of him was a significant blow to the Sacred Mountain, leaving them feeling devastated.
“What is Su Yi up to?”
As they watched Su Yi, it was startling to see him close his eyes during such a tense battle.
“Hmmm…”
All the powerful figures present wore expressions of astonishment, sensing that something was amiss.
In the Divine Sword School, Elder Su Kuangge and his colleagues understood that Su Yi was preparing to unleash that sword technique, but whether it could penetrate Nanan Ruyu’s Saint King Realm remained uncertain.
“His sword intent is just beginning to manifest. I didn’t expect Su Yi to possess such depth in swordsmanship.”
Old Man Gu Yue muttered, sensing a faint sword intent emanating from Su Yi’s body.
“Sword intent? Su Yi is only at the Yuan Spirit Realm, this is unbelievable!”
Hearing this, Guan Lan, Deputy Palace Master Yan Lu, Deputy Palace Master Yun Ding, and the other formidable figures from Yutian Palace were stunned.
Sword intent is the ultimate goal of many swordsmen. Typically, swordsmen at the Yuan Emperor Realm who understand their sword intent are already considered exceptional. But Su Yi is only at the Yuan Spirit Realm.
Despite this, Guan Lan and the others weren’t entirely surprised.
Considering Su Yi’s actions so far, it seemed reasonable that he could have comprehended sword intent.
Nanan Ruyu also observed Su Yi, seeming to sense something. The man and his sword stood still, exuding an invisible aura that even affected his Saint King Realm.
Everything transpired swiftly. Su Yi closed his eyes, and a faint sound of wind and thunder emanated from the black sword. A sharp presence appeared and vanished in an instant.
“Ssss…”
In the next moment, Su Yi abruptly opened his eyes. Two beams of sword-like light shot out from deep within his pupils, and a transcendent, ethereal aura surrounded him, creating an overwhelming sense of intimidation.
With a swift motion, Su Yi swung his sword. The dazzling sword light tore through the air with a sharp, wind-breaking sound as it rushed toward Nanan Ruyu.
“Ssss…”
The sword light shimmered brilliantly, its rapid movement accompanied by the intense sound of wind splitting.
The violent gusts of wind and the sharp sword light caused the very fabric of space to shudder, and even the immense golden boulder felt the tremors.
The cutting sword light sliced through the rippling space, breaking through the holy light and spreading directly toward Nanan Ruyu.
Nanan Ruyu’s expression shifted, and his handprints quickly formed in secret. The sacred aura around him fluctuated like crashing waves, while a terrifying killing intent surged forth, ultimately extinguishing the sword light.
“Poof…”
Su Yi was sent stumbling backward within the Saint King Realm, spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood.
“Oh no, Su Yi is in trouble!”
A voice from the crowd whispered, “That was likely his final trump card, but it couldn’t even pierce Nanan Ruyu’s Saint King Realm. He seems to be powerless now.”
“Nanan Ruyu is just too powerful. Su Yi is at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation. If he were stronger, he could have broken through Nanan Ruyu’s Saint King Realm!”
From the crowd, Jian Shiyi spoke quietly, his gaze flickering with understanding.
He knew the potency of Su Yi’s sword. If Su Yi had been at a higher cultivation level, he would have shattered Nanan Ruyu’s Saint King Realm.
“The Saint King Realm is different from ordinary realms. The longer one is trapped in it, the more difficult it becomes to break free.”
Old Man Gu Yue and Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan focused intently. They knew the Saint King Realm was a deadly technique and escaping it wouldn’t be easy.
“I told you it was useless. You had your chance to show your skills, but it failed. How could a firefly challenge the bright moon?”
Nanan Ruyu sneered, though secretly, he was alarmed. That sword just now had been incredibly powerful, filled with murderous intent. It almost broke through his Saint King Realm, but lacked just a little more strength. Now, Su Yi was in a desperate position, with no way to counterattack.
What surprised Nanan Ruyu even more was that typical individuals trapped in his Saint King Realm would be destroyed by the killing intent alone. At the very least, their souls would be affected.
But Su Yi seemed completely unaffected by the killing intent within the Saint King Realm.
Nanan Ruyu could even sense that the killing intent inside the realm had no impact on Su Yi’s mind. If anything, it seemed to be influencing Nanan Ruyu in some strange way.
“Is that so? Maybe not!”
Su Yi wiped the blood from his lips and responded calmly. He withdrew his sword, and several handprints began to form in his hands.
“Swoosh…”
As the handprints coalesced, a surge of vitality exploded from Su Yi’s body. A crimson glow surrounded him, and red flames fell from the heavens, touching the ground beneath him.
“Buzz!”
At that moment, a radiant light descended from the sky, divine mist swirling around, with the sound of wind and thunder echoing from the distant heavens.
A strange phenomenon unfolded, as if a god was descending, bringing with it an overwhelming sense of ancient power, transporting everyone back to a time long past.
“Roarrrr…”
From deep within the mountains came the deafening roars of beasts.
In the depths of Nanan Ruyu’s beautiful eyes, an astonished light flickered as the sacred aura surrounding him fluctuated violently.
“What’s happening?!”
This disturbance immediately caught the attention of countless onlookers, their expressions changing in shock. The phenomenon unfolding was far too extraordinary!
“Su Yi still has a hidden card…”
The crowd’s eyes fixed on Su Yi as they realized the commotion was emanating from him.
A brilliant golden light surrounded Su Yi, radiating intensely, enveloping everything in its brilliance.
“Gurgle!”
Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed through the void.
Amid the astonished stares of the audience, a colossal shadow of a mythical bird emerged from the dazzling light surrounding Su Yi.
In an instant, Nanan Ruyu’s splendid and gleaming eyes showed an unmistakable ripple of shock.
The divine bird’s form grew clearer and more distinct, its brilliance nearly blinding.
With everyone watching, an explosive surge of golden light erupted, and golden flames scattered across the square, nearly engulfing the entire area.
“Rumble…”
The golden boulder quivered under the divine mist, which shimmered brightly. The sound of wind and thunder reverberated endlessly.
Above the golden boulder, the silhouette of the divine bird emerged from the empty space, its wings spread wide like a phoenix. The surrounding void shimmered with red flames, and its eyes blazed like two fiery suns, observing the world below.
The overwhelming aura emanating from the divine bird was nothing short of terrifying, as though it had emerged from an ancient phoenix, bridging heaven and earth, exuding a terrifying, unfathomable power!
