First Immortal of the Sword

Chapter 1561 - Is He Even Human?



Chapter 1561 – Is He Even Human?

When something strange happened, there was always a reason.

Zhong Qi naturally understood this principle, especially since Su Yi had slain a Universe Realm Immortal with a gesture not long ago. No one would have gotten complacent after seeing that.

The atmosphere was stifled and tense.

Everyone stepped aside, clearing space for them to fight.

The Immortal Dao formation covering Auspicious Cloud Palace could neutralize even the full-force attack of an Immortal King. They naturally had no need to fear the shockwaves damaging the building.

Qing Wei, Xing Yu, and Feng Yeyun stood to the side, ready and waiting. They were prepared to intervene at a moment’s notice.

Libationer Yun Qiong, Xiao Ju, Immortal Lord Nine Cranes and the others had locked onto them. There was no doubt about it; if they dared intervene on Su Yi’s behalf, the forces of the Church of All Spirits would intercept them immediately!

Amidst the stifled silence, Su Yi confidently approached Zhong Qi. It was as if he didn’t even notice the strange atmosphere.

His steps were light and airy, neither fast nor slow, as if he were out for a casual stroll through his own backyard. He showed no trace of a cultivation base. It was as if he were an ordinary mortal.

That’s what bewildered the crowd most; they couldn’t see through Su Yi.

Zhong Qi’s eyes narrowed. The depths of his gaze surged with dense bloodlust.

He was dressed in jade-colored robes, with his hair held in place by a crown. As he circulated his Void Realm cultivation base, terrifying immortal force silently spread outward.

Although he’d yet to take action, his aura alone left many of the Void Realm True Immortals’ hearts quivering with fright. They couldn’t help but feel unsightly by comparison.

Immortal Lords stared each other down, ready to fight. freёwebnovel.com

The air practically seemed to freeze in place. The pressure was such that those beneath the Immortal Realm wouldn’t be able to take it much longer.

When Su Yi was just under a hundred feet from Zhong Qi….

Boom!

Zhong Qi attacked, leaping forward in a flash. He raised his right hand into the air and swung it down.

Stinging golden radiance interwove into mysterious True Immortal Laws and gathered in his fist. It was as if Zhong Qi had raised a blazing golden sun and flung it down to earth.

That tyrannical divine force left countless onlookers horrified. Even the Immortal Lords were impressed.

Both the sheer power and the Laws within that fist were utterly forceful and concentrated. Zhong Qi had fused the full extent of his essence, qi, and spirit into his attack. It had already reached the level of mastery.

When he unleashed that strike, it seemed capable of dividing the heavens and splitting the earth. Even just watching it was enough to intimidate his enemies’ hearts and souls!

There was no doubt about it. When Zhong Qi struck, he struck like lightning, with unstoppable force!

With this strike, it was readily obvious that this holy son of the Church of All Spirits had earned his reputation!

Many of the onlookers could already picture this fist crushing Su Yi into a puddle of blood.

A moment later.

Bang!!!

Firelight burst forth, and a figure was sent flying back. He slammed into the walls so hard that the entire palace swayed.

As a rain of light scattered, Su Yi stood in place, not budging in the slightest. He seemed perfectly calm and composed.

Meanwhile, off in the distance, Holy Son Zhong Qi let out a muffled grunt. He staggered and swayed before steadying himself on his feet. Astonishment was written all over his handsome face.

Everyone else felt the same. He sent Zhong Qi flying in the blink of an eye?!

This completely overturned the crowd’s expectations.

“Is such power really possible for someone yet to become an immortal?” Feng Yeyun gasped.

He was an Immortal Lord, so he’d seen it all clearly. Su Yi had thrown a single punch too. It was simple and direct, without the slightest flourish.

But it was as if he were punching through rotten wood; his punch shattered Zhong Qi’s fist force, broke his Laws of the Immortal Dao, and sent him flying.

Tyrannical beyond measure!

“No wonder he wanted to fight personally. This… really is far too unexpected.” Immortal Lord Xing Yu was stunned, but at the same time, he inwardly sighed in relief.

Earlier, he’d been prepared to rush to Su Yi’s aid at a moment’s notice, but reality proved that the Immortal Lords had misjudged the situation!

Meanwhile, Libationer Yun Qiong, Xiao Ju, and the others were stunned, too. Even if you’d hit them over the head, they would never have pictured Zhong Qi getting sent flying like this!

They could tell that Zhong Qi hadn’t gotten complacent. No, he’d used his full strength right from the start!

As for the others present? They were completely dumbstruck.

Someone yet to become an immortal had sent a Void Realm True Immortal flying with a punch?

If word got out, they feared no one would believe it!!

“So, he’s that strong… No wonder he was so fearless….” murmured Fang Han.

Meanwhile, Su Yi was already drawing closer to Zhong Qi. Just as before, he seemed as calm and composed as if he were out for a stroll.

But the way the crowd looked at him had changed.

“What are you hesitating for? Use your killer move and destroy him!” Libationer Yun Qiong said gravely, his gaze overcast.

“Rest assured, Libationer. I’ll be sure to execute him!” Zhong Qi took a deep breath. His bloodshot eyes shone with imposing light.

Clang!

A silver short halberd swathed in arcs of electricity appeared in his hand, and his aura rose around him.

It was as if he’d suddenly become a completely different person. He was now fierce beyond measure, seething with murderousness. He was now considerably stronger than before!

“Die!” Zhong Qi bellowed, then shot forth like a beam of flowing light, swinging his halberd at Su Yi.

Boom!

Lightning surged, and arcs of electricity swept outward.

The short halberd burst with immortal force, shattering the air. Its sharp, dazzling light seemed capable of tearing through all of creation.

Su Yi’s eyes shone with a hint of mockery.

He still fought barehanded. His right hand tapped the air.

Clang!!

The sound was like a golden spear piercing a rock.

This seemingly casual, understated tap was full of utterly destructive power. It shattered the divine lightning filling the skies and landed on that silver short halberd.

A moment later, the silver short halberd shook violently and burst with dazzling light, but in the end, it couldn’t advance any further!

Try as Zhong Qi might, it was stuck!

And when Su Yi pushed, his fingertip sent Zhong Qi staggering back and swaying like a wind-battered leaf. His face alternated white and green.

The power emanating from that fingertip was far too tyrannical. It was like a sword piercing his flesh, practically throwing his vital energy into disarray!

The crowd was astonished, and disbelief was written all over their faces.

“You… You’re seeking death!” Zhong Qi suddenly roared in fury. His hair suddenly stood on end as the terrifying power of his bloodline erupted within him.

Boom!

Blood-colored light burst forth. As the crowd watched in astonishment, an illusory divine beast floated over Zhong Qi’s head. It was bathed in fire and lightning, with the head of a dragon and the body of a deer. Its hooves stood amidst the stars, and it was covered in scales.

A Qilin!

As the pressure of a Xiantian divine beast spread outward, the other Void Realm Yao Immortals in attendance started quivering. Their hair stood on end.

Even the Immortal Lords were mostly yao cultivators, and when they sensed the power of Zhong Qi’s Qilin bloodline, they too were stunned. Their bodies silently tensed.

Their very bloodlines were restricted! Although this couldn’t really affect the Immortal Lords, all of them knew that if Zhong Qi one day reached their level, he would inevitably surpass them!

Only Qing Wei, Libationer Yun Qiong, and a few others remained entirely unaffected.

“Die!” Zhong Qi bellowed and cast aside his halberd. His hands formed seals, which descended upon Su Yi.

Boom!

It was as if a Fire Qilin were charging at him. Dazzling electricity and flames burst from the hand seal, terrifying beyond measure.

“Just what I was waiting for!” Su Yi threw back his head and laughed, then met this strike head-on.

He clenched his hand into a fist and struck the air!

The resulting impact shook both heaven and earth. Zhong Qi’s seal split with a bang, but Su Yi continued his charge. He raised his right hand, then grabbed the illusory Qilin as if he were taking something out of his pocket.

“Roar——!”

The illusory Qilin struggled with all its might and burst with seemingly endless fire and lightning.

But not even if its vast destructive power could shake Su Yi in the slightest.

Whoosh!

Beams of light flowed around Su Yi, effortlessly neutralizing this destructive power. His right hand tugged the air, and the illusory Qilin wailed as if it were being ripped from Zhong Qi’s body.

Zhong Qi visibly lost his composure. He roared, “Bastard——!”

He fought like mad, waving his fists about.

“You overestimate yourself.” Su Yi snorted coldly. His right hand held the illusory Qilin fast, while his left hand pressed down on the air.

Bang!

Zhong Qi was forced to the ground. It was as if a divine mountain had fallen into his head, slamming him to the floor. Throughout his body, countless bones snapped with audible cracks.

Blood flowed from the seven apertures of his face, and he cried out in agony.

Meanwhile, Su Yi’s right hand tugged, fully extracting that illusory Qilin from Zhong Qi. It transformed into a dazzling, fiery red bundle of light and floated above Su Yi’s palm.

This was the pure power of Zhong Qi’s Qilin bloodline, like a dazzling bundle of flame. It emanated a shocking air of divinity.

“No wonder your Void Realm cultivation is so weak. So, you weren’t born with this Qilin bloodline after all,” Su Yi murmured in apparent enlightenment.

“No——!”

Zhong Qi shrieked and struggled like mad after losing his Qilin bloodline, but it was to no avail. Furthermore, he was in a precarious, weakened state! Deathly silence fell over the crowd. Even the birds fell silent.

It had all happened too quickly! Almost no time had passed between Zhong Qi drawing upon his bloodline to attack and Su Yi forcing him to the ground.

Even Libationer Yun Qiong, Xiao Ju, and the other Immortal Lords would never have expected that Zhong Qi would lose so quickly. They couldn’t even save him in time.

That was true for even the Immortal Lords, never mind those of lesser cultivations.

When the crowd saw Zhong Qi forced to the ground and stripped of his Qilin bloodline, they were instantly in uproar. Without exception, their eyes widened.

“He hasn’t even become an immortal yet. How could he possibly be so strong?”

“He’s so strong that it’s downright unreasonable….”

“I wouldn’t have thought that Holy Son Zhong Qi would be the one too weak to take a single hit in the end!”

…The crowd was completely gobsmacked.

From the moment the battle began, Zhong Qi was at a disadvantage.

He’d attacked just three times.

The first time, Su Yi’s punch sent him flying.

The second time, a finger blocked his weapon, and the impact sent him staggering back.

The third time, he was forced to the ground, and even his Qilin bloodline was extracted!

From beginning to end, Zhong Qi couldn’t fight back at all. He was no different from an ant trying to shake a tree!

Who wouldn’t have been surprised?

Even the Immortal Lords felt as if they were dreaming. It just didn’t seem real.

Throughout the history of the Immortal Realm, who’d ever heard of a cultivator yet to become an immortal suppressing a Void Realm True Immortal with ease?

And that’s even before factoring in that Holy Son Zhong Qi was in no way comparable to an ordinary Void Realm True Immortal!

Immortal Lords Xing Yu and Feng Yeyun exchanged glances. They could see the astonishment in each others’ eyes.

Xiao Ju, Immortal Lord Nine Cranes, and the others were flabbergasted.

Qing Wei smiled but said nothing.

Fang Han silently clenched his fists. His eyes bulged, and his blood heated up.

When he took in Su Yi’s tall, upright figure, all he could think was, Is he… even human!?
