"Beat me until I kneel?"

"Heh..."

Li Hengyan laughed, his fury boiling over.

ZWIIING!

A jade-blue longsword shot into the sky from the sheath on his back!

Like a peacock spreading its tail, the sword’s light flared, the main Spiritual Artifact manifesting four additional Spiritual Light Flying Swords.

"This is my Sunflower Water Light Sword Array. When my swords are drawn, blood will be spilled. Seven Foundation Establishment cultivators have already fallen to it..."

Li Hengyan said with a sinister tone, not in any rush to attack.

Words are also a part of battle.

If an opponent’s mind wavered, their combat prowess was bound to suffer...

However...

"So much nonsense!"

Su Ye sneered, paying him no mind.

FWOOSH!

In an instant, the Frost Thorn Spear appeared!

A brilliant silver light, so sharp it seemed to freeze the very air, accelerated to its limit and tore across the sky!

"Stubbornly resisting the law with violence only adds to your crimes!"

Li Hengyan’s expression turned grim.

VMMMM!

The five Spirit Swords wove together into a Sword Array, instantly unleashing hundreds, even thousands, of watery sword-shadows!

Seeing this, Xiao Sheng clenched his fists and said nervously, "Li Hengyan’s Sunflower Water Light Sword Array has grown even more powerful..."

SHING SHING SHING!

The watery sword-shadows nearly blotted out the sky, layers upon layers of them weaving together like a curtain, precisely blocking the path of the Frost Thorn Spear!

The corners of Li Hengyan’s mouth curled up slightly.

The main feature of his Sunflower Water Sword Array was a dense, relentless offense, like a torrential gale!

’Once I block this attack, it’ll be my turn...’ Li Hengyan thought.

But in the next instant, his expression changed drastically.

KRACK!

The sky full of watery sword-shadows shattered like glass, dissolving into motes of pure spiritual light that faded into the air!

Meanwhile, the silver light, so sharp it made one’s skin ache, tore through the void and came whistling toward him!

In a panic, Li Hengyan sent a thought, instantly recalling his flying swords to block his body!

And the next moment!

The brilliant silver light resolved into a spear tip that struck the body of a flying sword!

BOOOM!!!

A terrifying impact traveled through the sword and slammed into Li Hengyan.

Li Hengyan’s body was launched backward like a cannonball, smashing violently into the beach of Donglong Island!

THWUMP!

A massive crater over a hundred feet in diameter appeared on the beach, with his body at its center!

And Li Hengyan, like a fly in amber, was embedded in the center of the depression!

Dust and sand filled the sky.

The entire scene was deathly silent!

"This..." Xiao Sheng’s eyes were wide, his mouth agape.

He turned his head, carefully sizing up Su Ye, as if he needed to get reacquainted with this Mr. Su of his!

Defeating Li Hengyan in one blow?!

At this moment, Su Ye stood in the air, his black robes fluttering in the wind, as he stared down at the cloud of dust.

His Divine Sense sensed the rapidly rising Magical Power fluctuations within, and he raised an eyebrow.

’Is he... getting desperate?’

WHOOSH!

"I... have not lost!!!"

The violent fluctuations of Magical Power triggered a howling hurricane, and the yellow sand and dust dispersed!

Li Hengyan straightened up, pulling himself out of the crater.

He stood up, looking up at Su Ye in the air, and casually wiped the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth!

"Jade Sea!"

Li Hengyan’s eyes were full of ferocity.

He clasped his hands together, gripping the Spiritual Artifact flying sword, the Jade Sea Sword!

VMMMM!

The Jade Sea Sword trembled, and a Sword Qi over a hundred feet long quickly took shape!

The terrifying Sword Qi tore through the air, rising from the ground with enough power to cleave the heavens as it slashed toward Su Ye!

SWOOSH!

The Sword Qi tore through the air, cutting a gash several thousand meters long in the clouds!

However...

"It missed?"

Li Hengyan couldn’t believe it. How was that possible?

He had already locked on with his Divine Sense, how could he have missed?

"A Divine Soul Secret Skill?"

And suddenly, Su Ye’s figure appeared at his side.

"Such a fast Body Technique... A Body Cultivator?! Foundation Establishment and Body Refining?!"

Li Hengyan’s eyes widened.

A Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator not only possesses Divine Sense comparable to a late-stage one, but also practices Body Refining at the same time?!

What kind of monster is this?! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

But Su Ye wouldn’t wait for him to react!

Without any hesitation!

He clenched his fist and struck!

His jade-white palm possessed the monstrous strength of a demonic beast!

WHAM!

The Magical Energy Shield covering Li Hengyan’s body showed a violent, visible dent!

His entire person was sent flying in an instant, like a rubber ball, bouncing and rolling for over a hundred meters on the beach!

BLEGH!

A large mouthful of blood sprayed from Li Hengyan’s mouth, staining his clothes red.

He struggled to steady himself, but his legs grew weak, and he collapsed to his knees!

"Beat me until I kneel... Beat me until I kneel!!!"

Remembering Su Ye’s arrogant boast from moments ago, Li Hengyan’s eyes nearly burst from their sockets, turning completely bloodshot with rage!

With his background and status, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?!

"AHHH!!!"

"Su Ye... I want you dead!!!!"

VMMMM!

From within Li Hengyan’s Jade Sea Sword, a dense bloody light, carrying an incredibly pungent smell of blood, spread out!

"Life Soul Blood Sacrifice..." Su Ye’s nose twitched slightly.

As the captain of the Ghostly Flood Dragon, he was all too familiar with this kind of aura.

And judging by the dense Blood Dao aura emanating from the Jade Sea Sword, the number of life souls sacrificed within it was at least forty or fifty thousand!

Without a doubt, this Li Hengyan had also been secretly collecting life souls to increase his own power!

This brought to mind how Li Hengyan had threatened Su Ye earlier, accusing him of using a Blood Dao Formation to collect life souls...

The faces of Xiao Sheng and Li Hengyan’s short, stout junior brother twisted into strange expressions.

This was a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.

At this time, the Jade Sea Sword—no, looking at it now, the name Blood Sea Sword was more fitting!

On the Blood Sea Sword, the bloody light was scarlet, emitting terrifying fluctuations!

However, Su Ye’s eyes remained cold.

"This boring farce should end..."

He raised his hand, his five fingers tensing, and made a grasping motion from a distance!

A gloomy blue light, reminiscent of Sea Successor Remains, flashed in Su Ye’s eyes.

He activated the Heart of the Vast Sea!

VMMMM!!

Behind Li Hengyan, the sea’s surface roiled as countless tons of seawater gathered, manifesting as an elegant, winding sea dragon hundreds of feet long!

Its shadow blotted out the sun, enveloping the entire beach!

"This...?!"

Li Hengyan suddenly turned his head, a look of disbelief appearing in his eyes.

RUMBLE!

The sea dragon swept down, submerging his figure.

After a long time, the sea dragon dissolved into a current of water and dispersed, and the entire beach had become a flooded marsh!

And Li Hengyan lay on the beach, his face as pale as paper, unconscious...

Vmmm.

A current of water swept up, snagged the Blood Sea Sword, and brought it into Su Ye’s hand.

’Not bad... fifty thousand life souls.’

Sensing the number of life souls within, Su Ye was inwardly pleased.

"Take him and get lost!"

Su Ye’s gaze was cold as he swept it over Li Hengyan’s short, stout junior brother.

The latter’s forehead was covered in sweat, and under his gaze, he trembled and shivered...

"Yes, milord..."

...
