Chapter 873: Su Yi Takes Action!
The gleaming knife approached the girl’s back, as though it intended to slice through her waist.
With a serious expression, the girl clenched her silver teeth and leaned back at an impossible angle. Her feet, solid as rocks, anchored her firmly in place.
The sharp blade skimmed just over her face. The powerful gust from the knife sliced through a few strands of her dark hair, leaving a stinging sensation on her skin. Her hair whipped wildly, unveiling a stunning face with delicate features and large, captivating eyes, making her an undeniable beauty.
“You’re not that maid…”
At that moment, the large man realized the girl he was pursuing was not who he had assumed. His expression changed instantly, now filled with shock.
But it was too late. A beam of sword light swiftly descended, piercing the big man’s chest from bottom to top.
“Swoosh…”
Blood spurted as the man collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide with fear.
“Swoosh, swoosh…”
A figure swiftly fled. The injured man, still in the Yuan Spirit Realm, recognized he was outmatched and decided to make a hasty escape toward the nearby boats.
“Don’t let him get away!”
The girl knew she couldn’t let the man escape, so she chased him without hesitation.
The man was incredibly fast and had already reached the water. He was about to leap onto one of the small boats to escape.
“You can’t escape!”
The girl shouted, her eyes glowing green. She tapped into her inner energy, wielding her water-based abilities to control the sea around her. With a quick movement of her sword, she released a powerful strike.
The sword light surged like waves, merging with the sea and creating a violent storm that engulfed the man.
A warrior skilled in water techniques had a massive advantage in such a setting, much like a fire-based warrior would have the upper hand in a volcanic region compared to other elemental warriors.
“Splish…”
The large man was caught by a massive wave, his body tossed several meters high, and the sword’s light pierced his chest, causing him to cough up blood and die.
Watching this, the girl’s relieved expression finally softened, and her beautiful eyes sighed with relief. However, she then spat a large amount of blood from her mouth, as though the toll from her previous attacks had drained all her strength.
After struggling back to the shore, it seemed the girl had no energy left. She collapsed onto the ground, drenched and exhausted.
She managed to gather enough strength to sit cross-legged, trying to breathe and heal. She wiped the blood from her lips with her sleeve, then tore her sleeve to bind the wound on her arm tightly.
However, at that very moment, a figure appeared silently. It was a man from the Yuan Xuan Realm, his face marked by sword cuts and bloodstains. He was not dead yet. His eyes, cold and filled with fury, locked onto the girl. Seizing the opportunity, he attacked suddenly, launching a fist full of energy straight at her head.
The girl’s expression changed suddenly, but it was too late to dodge. This was beyond her expectations.
“Bang!” The punch landed. The girl leaped forward just in time to avoid a direct hit to her head, but the blow struck her back instead.
The impact sent her flying through the air, crashing to the ground. Blood spilled from her mouth, and her vision blurred as she lost consciousness instantly.
The big man’s face was covered in blood, his eyes blazing with rage as he looked at the unconscious girl and sneered, “You insolent servant, you dared to hurt me. Let me have my fun first!”
Just as he was about to make his move, the large man paused. This woman was too attractive to resist, and the thought of her all to himself once everyone else was gone excited him. It felt as though fate had smiled on him.
“Isn’t this a bit too crude and vulgar?”
Suddenly, a soft voice sounded from behind the large man.
“Who is it?”
The large man’s face immediately darkened. He wasn’t highly cultivated, but his experience told him that anyone who could appear behind him unnoticed was a far stronger opponent.
However, when the large man turned to face the figure, his cautious expression shifted to one of confusion.
There stood only a young boy, seemingly weak and disheveled.
“Who are you?”
The large man asked coldly, not underestimating him. This girl had been so powerful, already at the Yuan Spirit Realm, but the man couldn’t believe a mere child could be as strong.
The boy before him was none other than Su Yi.
Su Yi had been hiding behind a reef, observing everything. Unable to stand by as the girl was about to be harmed, he knew he couldn’t stay passive.
Su Yi had no desire to interfere in others’ affairs, but he couldn’t stand by either. To ignore it would make him no better than a beast. Besides, in an unfamiliar place, he needed someone to help him.
“I have a few questions for you. It’s best you answer honestly, or you’ll regret it!”
Su Yi looked directly at the large man as he spoke.
For some reason, even though the boy displayed no visible energy, the large man felt an overwhelming sense of unease and fear.
“You’re asking for trouble, kid!”
The large man made his move, sensing something was off. This boy was alone in such a desolate place—something was definitely wrong. It was better to act first. He gathered his energy and launched a punch.
“Boom!”
But just as the punch was thrown, the large man’s vision blurred, and a mysterious figure appeared right in front of him. The boy’s hand pressed firmly against his fist, rendering the punch useless and immobilizing him.
“Uh-oh…”
The large man now fully understood the gravity of the situation. The boy, who had seemed harmless, was a much stronger opponent than he had anticipated.
“Move aside!”
Su Yi spoke calmly and unleashed a surge of immense power from his palm.
“Pssst…”
“Boom boom…”
Instantly, the large man spat blood, stumbling backward, before collapsing to the ground in defeat.
“Swoosh…”
Like a flash of lightning, Su Yi appeared directly in front of him. With one hand, he grabbed the man’s neck, applying immense pressure to restrain him.
Although Su Yi was still recovering from his injuries, dealing with a cultivator in the Yuan Xuan Realm was more than within his capabilities.
