Chapter 425: Clay Chickens and Porcelain Dogs? I Can Break Them With a Flick of My Finger

Lai Changxiao’s thirty-foot golden palm was the first to descend, bearing down on the skies with a mighty boom.

Su Yi didn’t even look. He just waved his sleeve, and a clear hand seal shot through the air. 𝒃𝒆𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎

Bang!

The giant palm enshrouded in layers of golden light instantly burst apart, like glass colliding with a hammer.

As for the clear hand seal? It continued ahead unchecked, indomitable and tyrannical, and slammed toward Lai Changxiao.

“Hm?” Lai Changxiao’s expression changed dramatically, and he activated a series of secret talismans in rapid succession.

These talismans all sealed Six Ding Defensive Seals. Each could block a Gathering Stars Realm cultivator’s full-force attack.

However, in the face of the clear hand seal, they broke with a series of rapid-fire bangs. Soon, all of the talismans had exploded into nothingness.

In the face of this unstoppable power, Lai Changxiao couldn’t help but tremble. He suddenly gnashed his teeth, took out a purple and gold talisman, then activated it.

Boom!

The talisman burst with radiant light, manifesting an illusory deity. It stepped onto the landscape, stalwart and dazzling.

The deity’s radiance was unstoppably powerful, and it had limitless momentum. As soon as it appeared, it slapped the air with its hand, clashing with the clear hand seal.

Boom!

An explosion went off overhead, shaking heaven and earth. In the end, the illusory deity collided with Su Yi’s clear hand seal, and both dispersed into nothingness.

“Dammit! That was the Yuanyang Spirit Sect’s sect-defending secret talisman, one of the five Dharma Spirit Manifestation Talismans the founder left behind. It should have been capable of blocking even a peak Gathering Stars existence’s full-force attack. How could one strike have broken it? How is this Su Yi kid so strong?”

Lai Changxiao’s expression was unsightly. His eyes widened, and his heart ached.

But it was then that—

Qi Chongzi’s Rampaging Thunder Void-Destroying Saber and Daoist Master Thousand Absolutes’ attacks arrived.

The others watched as Su Yi returned their blows, slash for slash and fist for fist.?He pressed his fingers into a blade and cut. Sword qi pierced the blue skies, transcendent and ethereal, sweeping through the emptiness.

Crack! Crack!

Qi Chongzi’s sky-filling Rampaging Thunder Void-Destroying Saber broke into tiny fragments and scattered.

When?Daoist?Master Thousand Absolutes punched, the fist force was like a primordial god raising a divine mountain and slamming it down to earth. It was firm and unyielding.

However, unlike?Daoist?Master Thousand Absolutes’ Thousand Absolutes Ultimate Martial Fist, Su Yi’s fist seemed to break through the confines of heaven and earth. It was as if nothing could stand in its way.

When the two fists collided, an explosion boomed overhead, stirring up churning energy currents. Daoist Master Thousand Absolutes staggered, and despite himself, his expression shifted.

As for Su Yi? After breaking through the obstacles in his path, he fought his way up to Qiu Mochi.

Just as before, he struck with a single finger.

“NO——!” Qiu Mochi’s gaze was bitter and frenzied.

Three Gathering Stars experts had joined forces. In the Southern Skies Province, they could effortlessly sweep through anyone who blocked their path.?Yet now, they couldn’t even block Su Yi’s attack! Now, when he faced Su Yi’s strike, Qiu Mochi had no hope of dodging.

Splurt!

Qiu Mochi’s soul trembled as the sharp, forceful, sword-like power of Su Yi’s finger shattered it. It burst apart in midair, leaving nothing behind.

The entire valley fell deathly silent!

Lai Changxiao, Qi Chongzi, and Daoist Master Thousand Absolutes’ expressions were dark and grim. They’d struck simultaneously, holding nothing back, yet they still hadn’t been able to stop Su Yi. Of course they were surprised!

Further away, Lian Lengyue, Yan Junshan, and the other Origin Palace cultivators were wide-eyed and tongue-tied. This scene stunned them so badly that their scalps felt numb and their hearts shook.

That was Qiu Mochi!

One of the few Gathering Stars Realms cultivators of the Flying Spirit Sword Pavilion. He’d traversed the world unimpeded for a century; even others of the same realm would have found it enormously difficult to defeat him, let alone kill him.

A long-established expert like this had been destroyed. First, his body had been shattered. Now, even his soul had been obliterated.

And the killer, Su Yi? He was only in the Grain Avoidance Realm!

The Profound Snowfiend Python was completely dumbstruck

Earlier, she had only half believed that Su Yi was capable of teaching her how to undergo metamorphosis, but now, after everything she’d just witnessed, she suddenly recalled what Qing Ya said earlier: “Big Brother Su Yi is a man like an immortal, with unbelievable methods! With his guidance, you’d have a hard time failing at metamorphosis even if you wanted to!”

Looking back on it now, the Profound Snowfiend Python finally understood that she hadn’t been joking. If Su Yi weren’t a man like a celestial immortal, how could he, a Grain Avoidance Realm youth, kill Gathering Stars Realm experts as easily as if they were monkeys or chickens?

Even Ling Yunhe felt waves of shock course through his heart.

Su Yi’s power had obviously reached new heights since he had slain Madam Miaohua and company over the Billowing Sky River!

Then again, Madam Miaohua had been the only Gathering Stars Realm expert among his foes back then. It was nothing like the lineup he faced now, which included four such powerhouses!

Furthermore, every last one of them was far stronger than Madam Miaohua!

Qiu Mochi’s death was clear proof of the veracity of Su Yi’s earlier declaration: “When I, Su Yi, want to kill someone, no one in heaven and earth can stand in my way!”

“It seems we’ve encountered a real monster of an opponent this time. We cannot judge his strength by his cultivation. How about the three of us fight together?” Qi Chongzi said coldly, his gaze solemn.

“Of course.” Lai Changxiao and Daoist Master Thousand Absolutes nodded.

In recent years, numerous monstrously strong experts with unknown origins had appeared on the Azure Continent.

Quite a few had popped up in the Great Xia too.

There was no doubt about it: Lai Changxiao, Daoist Master Thousand Absolutes, and their allies now saw Su Yi as one such figure.

“Even if you join forces, I can destroy clay chickens and porcelain dogs like you with a flick of my finger!” said Su Yi, his gaze cold and indifferent.

“Impudent! I’d like to see just how you ‘destroy me with a flick of your finger!’” Qi Chongzi’s eyes glinted with cold light, and his saber qi exploded around him. Cracks formed in the surrounding air as rampaging lightning boomed around him, the sound reverberating throughout heaven and earth.

Whoosh!

He stepped into the air and swung his saber. A streak of lightning saber qi swept forth like a bolt of cloth, traversing the skies and surrounding Su Yi on all sides.

The All-Encompassing Rampaging Thunder Saber!

This was Qi Chongzi’s trump card, a saber cultivation technique without equal in the Southern Skies Province.

When Qi Chongzi used it, it was like heavenly lightning descending from the skies, enveloping everything in all directions. It seemed as if this one slash could bring inescapable doom to all living things.

Its power was far beyond the Rampaging Thunder Void-Destroying Saber he’d used earlier.

Yet Su Yi revealed a hint of mockery as he casually slashed the air with his finger.

At his level, every movement carried the unfathomable charm of the Grand Dao.?This finger strike looked simple, but in truth, this was the Grand Dao reduced to its essence, a return to simplicity.

Rumble!

If Qi Chongzi’s saber qi was like heavenly lightning descending from on high, then Su Yi’s finger was like a sudden wave rising from the earth to oppose the heavens!

The terrifying origin energy of heaven and earth converged around his fingertip. The vast, limitless force of this single strike seemed to fill the entire area, and a boundless, surging wave swept forth.

When they saw it, the crowd’s?pupils unwittingly?constricted.?He’s just a Grain Avoidance cultivator. How could he wield such terrifying power?

The power within this one finger, and the resulting meteorological changes were just too shocking, too majestic, too limitless and overflowing. The power of one finger seemed to cover everything between heaven and earth.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of low, heaven-shaking booms rang out, and Qi Chongzi rampaging and explosive saber slash burst apart like paper mache, offering no resistance at all.

“Die!” Qi Chongzi’s expression shifted, and his saber qi condensed into a hundred-foot, silvery lightning saber.

Su Yi’s attack could shake the heavens, and it was sufficient to flatten entire landscapes. Strong as he was, Qi Chongzi had no choice but to go all-out.

His figure blurred into a streak of flowing light as he slashed furiously downward.

Lightning Alone Obliterates the Six Directions!

This was unquestionably Qi Chongzi’s strongest slash, and he fully melded his essence, qi, and spirit into this attack!

Boom!

Saber qi boiled, and furious lightning boomed.

The onlookers felt a stinging pain in their eyes. The power and momentum of this saber shook their hearts and minds. The Origin Palace cultivators almost felt as if they were on the verge of collapse.

Only Su Yi remained just as calm as before.

He circulated his entire cultivation fused with the charm of the five elements into that finger. How could cultivators of the mundane world possibly imagine the profundities therein?

When Qi Chongzi’s ultimate slash descended, the power of Su Yi’s finger rumbled and boomed, bursting with incomparably dazzling sharp light as it blanketed heaven and earth.

It was like a boundless sword ocean!?The boundless, crisscrossing sword qi soon reduced Qi Chongzi’s hundred-foot thunder saber to shreds.

Shit!?Qi Chongzi’s expression shifted dramatically.

It was just one finger strike, yet it blanketed heaven and earth right from the start, and in the blink of an eye, it manifested an endless ocean of sword qi. That miraculous transformation made even a Gathering Stars Realm expert like him sense a fatal threat.

Alas, he wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. His only choice was to meet this strike head-on.

“Open!!!” Qi Chongzi swung his saber as if he’d gone mad. He held nothing back.

However, in the face of that all-encompassing sword ocean, his attack was as minuscule as a single splash in a vast sea. In the blink of an eye, it vanished into nothingness.

Bang!

The onlookers watched in astonishment as Qi Chongzi’s saber burst apart as the vast wave of sword qi slammed into him. It cleaved into him like countless sharp blades—death by one thousand cuts. In a moment, his blood, flesh, tendons, and bones had been reduced to a bloody paste.

In the end, although his soul successfully escaped his body, the incoming flood of?sword qi?quickly snuffed it out.

In the blink of an eye, his soul, too, had dispersed!

This was a peak saber cultivator who’d been active in the Great Xia’s Southern Skies Province for who-knew-how-many years. Yet now, a single finger had reduced him to ashes.

This was clear proof of what Su Yi had said earlier: “I can destroy clay chickens and porcelain dogs like you with a flick of my finger!”

Everyone fell silent.

Yan Junshan and the other Origin Palace cultivators were all too stunned to even speak. Chills coursed down their spines; the attack they’d just witnessed had simply scared them out of their wits.

Qi Chongzi had been a lofty high elder of the Profound Green Saber Sect, the Rampaging Thunder Saber Monarch renowned throughout Southern Skies Province. He had been a prominent Gathering Stars Realm cultivator… yet one finger had snuffed him out!

It was easy to imagine how great a shock this was.

Lai Changxiao and Daoist Master Thousand Absolutes were visibly stricken; this had dealt a devastating blow to their will to fight. Earlier, they’d agreed to fight alongside Qi Chongzi. They wanted to join forces to take down the monster that was Su Yi.

Who would have thought that Qi Chongzi would die so quickly?

Su Yi’s finger strike presented an enormous threat even to Gathering Stars cultivators like them, and their hearts?palpitated?in terror.

Even the famous Qi Chongzi had died, unable to withstand a single finger. Who present could possibly be a match for Su Yi?

“Run!” Without any prior discussion, Lai Changxiao and Daoist Master Thousand Absolutes immediately made the same decision.
