First Immortal of the Sword-Chapter 1351 - Diverting a Crisis Onto Others

The one charging at Su Yi was a man in black.

He’d hidden his presence, and his figure had fused completely into heaven and earth, as if he were a naturally formed mountain breeze blowing past.

Such an ambush was unquestionably terrifying.

He’d even deceived the Transcendents in attendance, appearing atop the Violet Heavens Platform seemingly out of nowhere.

It was only when he charged at Su Yi that the man in black revealed his true strength.

He was a Nascent Divinity Realm expert!

His fingers were like hooks, and dazzling light wove between them. His hands were like the sharp claws of a dragon tearing through the clouds, so quick it was unbelievable.

Only then did the distant onlookers realize that someone had already launched an attack! They could even clearly see the excited glint in the man’s eyes.

Bang!

When he was still thirty feet from Su Yi, the man in black collided with an invisible barrier. He staggered back, then fell onto his butt. The impact left him seeing stars.

“You’ve stepped onto the Path of Transcendence, yet you’re still resorting to this sort of insidious ambush,” said Su Yi. “Worthless.”

The entire area had long since been enshrouded in the Laws of Restricting the Profound. Anyone who charged in would feel its effects immediately.

The man in black looked astonished. He turned to flee.

A streak of sword light flashed past. The man’s head flew through the air, and that tyrannical, indomitable sword qi reduced his body completely into powder.

An early-stage Nascent Divinity Transcendent had perished, just like that!

Quick and crisp.

He was at the same cultivation level as Yan Daolin and the others, but he wasn’t at all comparable.

This bloody scene left the distant onlookers stunned. Their expressions filled with uncertainty. The experts of the various camps couldn’t help but frown.

He’s so badly injured, but he just cut down a Nascent Divinity Transcendent in a single slash. Is the Temple Master really at the end of his rope?

The crowd had only just thought this when they watched Su Yi’s battered, bloodstained frame sway atop the Violet Heavens Platform. Another line of blood dripped from his lips.

Although he wiped it away in a casual gesture, it was a sign of weakness. The gathered experts’ eyes lit up. It seems the Temple Master really can’t hold out much longer!

Boom!

A burst of thunder rang out in the ancient Xu Family’s camp as one of their experts attacked, seething with murderous intent.

“Temple Master, not long ago, you slew our clansmen on the shore of the Impermeable Demon Ocean. Today, I’ll have you pay for your crimes in blood!”

This was Xu Ruoting, a living fossil of the Skyfire Spirit Race Xu Family.

Before his voice had even finished echoing through the air, he blurred into an explosive, violent golden lightning bolt and charged at Su Yi.

Kcch!

Xu Ruoting was still mid-charge when a glittering war spear filled the skies with glittering golden electricity that poured down like rain.

When they saw this, the experts of the various camps dared not hesitate. All of them attacked immediately.

“Attack together!” Zhong Tianquan shouted. He stretched out his finger and raised it into the air, summoning a wondrously powerful Transcendent saber and striking the heavens.

“In that case, we’ll just have to see what he’s really capable of,” murmured Lu Changting of Yellow Springs Demon Mountain. He laughed dryly, then stepped into the air, leaving visions of mountains of corpses and oceans of blood in his wake, like a demon god waging war.

“Hahaha! We’ll just have to see who can capture that Su guy first!” A burst of valiant laughter rang out, and a black-robed man emerged from the Southern Flame Pure Lands’ camp. He gripped a painted silver halberd and attacked from afar.

“You hold up the rear. I’ll enter the fray!”

All at once, revenants from the Hidden Skies Immortal Sect, Allspirit Sword Mountain, Illusory Sword Immortal Tower, and other ancient orthodoxies attacked in full force.

The entire area was thrown into upheaval as a terrifying current of the power of the Grand Dao swept through the nine heavens and the ten earths. All manner of terrifyingly powerful treasures burst with immortal light, tearing through the sky. Transcendent-level secret arts shot forth, tossed all over the place like they were nothing. Their power stirred up torrents of destruction.

From a distance, it was as if a battle had broken out between deities!

Sword cultivators, Demonists, yao cultivators... experts of all stripes attacked in full force as everything descended into chaos.

In the blink of an eye, both the Violet Heavens Platform and the mountain below crumbled and collapsed.

The distant onlookers were astonished. Without exception, they fled further away, not daring to linger.

Over a hundred Transcendents were participating, and they fought without reservation. They weren’t at all concerned about the life or death of the distant onlookers!

As for Su Yi? He’d long since shot into the air and arrived beneath the dome of heaven.

“Get him!”

Heaven-shaking bellows rang out as the Transcendents of different camps all pointed their spears at Su Yi.

A torrent of treasures and secret arts threw the skies into chaos.

Su Yi didn’t clash with them head-on.

Instead, he unleashed the Laws of Flying Light and darted about the battlefield, dodging these terrifying, lethal strikes.

In his enemies’ eyes, he was like a fish struggling to survive, flailing about desperately even while surrounded. He looked utterly wretched.

“Temple Master, you’ll soon become Nine Yin Demon Mountain’s prey. You’re fortunate indeed!” someone laughed and blocked Su Yi’s path. He waved a massive hammer, filling the sky with purple flame.

Practically simultaneously, the other Nine Yin Demon Mountain Transcendents charged over, surrounding Su Yi completely. All of them unleashed their strongest treasures in an attempt to take Su Yi down.

But there was no need for Su Yi to do anything at all. The experts of the Hidden Skies Immortal Sect attacked the Nine Yin Demon Mountain Transcendents before he got the chance.

Boom!

The skies exploded, descended into chaos.

The Nine Yin Demon Mountain’s encirclement broke, and several of its experts were injured.

Su Yi seized the opportunity to break free and shoot into the distance.

“How dare you ambush us? Fuck your mothers!”

“Kill those Hidden Skies Immortal Sect bastards!”

This interference left the Nine Yin Demon Mountain experts cursing with fury. Their anger overcame them, and they attacked the Hidden Skies Immortal Sect.

How could the experts of the Hidden Skies Immortal Sect possibly endure that? They attacked directly too!

Although both camps knew that fighting like this would only benefit the competition, the battle had already broken out, and all of them had bellies full of fire. Who’d concern themselves about that now?

Off in the distance, Su Yi flickered across the battlefield as if teleporting. When he saw this, he couldn’t help but laugh dryly. This is what they mean by ‘a pack of motley riffraff!’

This looks like an army of over a hundred Transcendents, but in truth, they’re all from different camps, and they’re all plotting against each other. They couldn’t possibly cooperate!

Su Yi didn’t even need to stir things up. The curtains had already opened on this chaotic battle. All of them were out to capture him alive, so conflict and friction were inevitable.

Even the powerful and shrewd old-timers couldn’t stop it!

Su Yi was using himself as bait to lead the hostile experts around by the nose! He was turning them against each other!

In the eyes of the onlookers, this unprecedented, tumultuous battle really was far too chaotic! Transcendents of all different camps were vying for an opportunity to capture Su Yi alive. All of them attacked at once, and they even fought amongst themselves.

It was unbelievable!

As for Su Yi? He was like a loach darting through muddied waters, teleporting throughout the battlefield and dodging each and every attack.

Although his predicament looked perilous to the extreme, as if he might meet with disaster at a moment’s notice, he dodged each and every strike by a hair.

And whenever he reappeared, violent conflict between experts of different camps were sure to follow.

What really left the crowd wide-eyed and tongue-tied was that these Transcendents, experts akin to sovereigns of the Human Realm, seemed totally overcome with fury. They cast aside all thoughts of deportment, cursing and fighting amongst themselves with abandon.

“What son of a bitch just ambushed me? Show yourself!” Lu Changting of Yellow Springs Demon Mountain bellowed in fury. Divine flames had attacked him out of nowhere, burning his bottom black, and he was furious.

“Dammit! How dare you attack us? Does the ancient Zhou Family want to be annihilated? Get the hell away from me!” someone bellowed a threat, his eyes red with murderousness..

“I’ll lay this right out in the open. If anyone dares attack us, don’t blame me for... Aiyo! Dammit! Who tossed that Light Burst Talisman!?”

Some people realized that the battle had gotten out of hand. This wouldn’t benefit anyone, so they tried to dissuade the others.

“Everyone, the Temple Master is behind all of this!”

“Whatever you do, don’t let your anger muddle your rationality! We ought to work together to capture him, then discuss how to divvy up the secrets of reincarnation...”

But before he could finish, Lu Changting attacked, saber swinging, his face ashen. “How dare you bark, you old dog? You were the one who burnt my ass just now, weren’t you? Die!!”

Just like that, the attempts to dissuade further infighting died.

In a chaotic battle like this, unless someone with the power to crush everyone in their path stepped forth, it was almost impossible to suppress this sort of conflict. Words alone wouldn’t cut it.

And Su Yi was taking advantage of the chaos, shuttling about and directing his enemies’ attacks onto their rivals repeatedly.

It was as if an invisible hand were creating chaos and conflict. He had the hundred-plus Transcendents in the palm of his hand, and he was provoking their anger to create even greater chaos.

But this was incomparably perilous; he was effectively dancing on the edge of a knife. The slightest incaution and it would all be over!

Some of the keen-eyed combatants realized this, and they could tell what Su Yi was up to. The realization left them both surprised and furious.

They couldn’t even imagine how the grievously injured Su Yi, an arrow at the end of its flight, could still struggle to such a degree.

Something strange was going on here!

An old man in gray bristled with anger and shouted, “Everyone, stop! This is a trick! The Temple Master is exploiting the chaos to turn us against each other! Hurry up and stop!”

A trick?

Many of the combatants’ heads finally cleared.

But when they saw Su Yi surrounded once more, they couldn’t stop to think about anything else. They just charged at him like mad.

And Su Yi seized the opportunity to break free. This time, he appeared before the old man in gray.

“If you knew this was a trick, why didn’t you run?” said Su Yi, his gaze distant and inscrutable as he took in the old man in gray.

The old man shuddered from head to toe, but before he could respond, the Sword of the Human Realm slashed through the air, executing him on the spot!

Meanwhile, Su Yi was already shooting off in another direction.

He was like a beam of flowing light. Wherever he went, a rain of blood was sure to follow!
