Chapter 966: I’ll Gouge Out My Own Eyes
A young Spiritual Revolution cultivator wasn’t simply unafraid. He even dared say they wouldn’t know the outcome of their battle until they fought.
Hong Ying was a bit surprised, and he said to the Netherworld King, “Your Excellency, do you think the boy is simply ignorant? Or does he have something up his sleeves?”
The Netherworld King’s bewitching eyes shone with a hint of strange light. “He’s naturally no ordinary person. It’s just that his cultivation is overly weak.”
Hong Ying couldn’t help but smile, his gaze playful. “Even if his authority were as vast as the skies, and even if his background were enough to shock the heavens, all of that would be as inconsequential as the passing clouds.”
As he spoke, he waved. “No need to waste any more time. Someone, go capture Liu Changsheng and that kid.”
“Got it!”
There were seven people behind Hong Ying in total: five Jailers and two Chosen Apostles.
In response to Hong Ying’s orders, two Jailers promptly stepped up: a thin man in black with twin silver daggers, and a short-haired girl in a fur skirt. Her skin was coppery, her eyes were as sharp as knives, and she gripped a black scythe.
Both were in the late-stage Profound Illumination Realm, and every inch of them emanated an imposing, calamitous aura of the Grand Dao.
As soon as they stepped forth, their terrifying momentum stirred up the wind and clouds. Heaven and earth changed color!
But before they could attack…
Clang——!
A saber hum exploded off in the distance, like the fierce roar of a demonic god.
Before it had even finished echoing throughout the surrounding area, a tall figure appeared out of nowhere right in front of the Unsinkable Boat.
This new arrival was dressed in a warrior’s robes, with a purple-gold crown. He was tall and stalwart, with the majesty of a sovereign, and he gripped a thick, heavy, dull, and lightless saber.
As soon as he appeared, a rampaging windstorm of murderous intent swept outward, as if intent on ripping the skies apart and cleaving open the entire landscape!
Quite a few people couldn’t help but squint.
The Divine Saber Demon Emperor, Zhan Beiqi!
The strongest of the Seven Devils of the Sea of Bitterness, a towering expert of the demonic path!
And although almost no one knew it, he was also the junior apprentice brother of the Mad Sword Netherworld Sovereign!
“Junior Apprentice Brother.” Liu Changsheng said with a conflicted look on his face.
Zhan Beiqi faced away from him and said indifferently, “I said it, didn’t I? Before we’ve resolved our enmities, I won’t let you die at anyone else’s hands.”
Even his voice was as sharp and forceful as his saber’s edge.
Su Yi thought to himself, It seems that this pair of apprentice brothers hasn’t truly buried the hatchet. Even so, when he learned that Liu Changsheng was in danger, Zhan Beiqi resolutely stepped forth on his behalf.
“Hah? Yet another comes to throw his life away,” Hong Ying said with a dry laugh, his gaze rife with disdain.
As an expert of the Nine Heavens Pavilion, he had an air of lofty superiority whenever he faced the Imperial Realm experts of the Netherworld.
It didn’t matter that his cultivation was slightly inferior to Liu Changsheng and Zhan Beiqi. He didn’t take these two peak experts of the Netherworld the least bit seriously!
This contemptuous disdain of all beneath the heavens was apparent amongst the Jailers too.
They were like superiors looking down on their inferiors; there was naturally no hiding their disdain.
“What if you add us to the mix?” A low, dignified voice suddenly rang out.
Something rumbled and boomed beneath the distant skies, and a whole group of terrifying figures streaked over.
These were none other than Thunderflame Demon Sovereign Wang Chonglu and his Thirteen Demon Generals!
Liu Changsheng was briefly stunned, as if in surprise, and he sighed. “Didn’t I tell you all not to get involved?”
“Yes,” said Wang Chonglu with an air of righteousness. “But I don’t want to owe you a debt for the rest of my life!”
By the time he finished this sentence, he’d already led his subordinates over. The Thirteen Demon Generals clustered behind him, like stars clustering around the moon. This only further offset the Thunderflame Demon Sovereign’s extraordinariness.
However, when Wang Chonglu saw Su Yi standing beside Liu Changsheng, his expression turned a bit strange and uneasy. Perhaps he was recalling what had happened over the past few days?
Su Yi couldn’t help but tease him, “You owe me a life too. If you foolishly get yourself killed here, how will you repay me?”
Wang Chonglu was stunned.
One of his subordinates, a bald man, shouted, “Is that any way to talk, little fellow?”
The other Demon Generals looked unfriendly too. This kid’s words are just too grating to the ears!
But Wang Chonglu waved this away. “Don’t misunderstand: Fellow Daoist Su really is my benefactor, and he really did save my life.”
The Thirteen Demon Generals couldn’t help but feel stunned.
Before they could converse any further, Hong Ying’s hearty laughter resounded from afar. “Disaster is imminent, yet you’re still wasting time on this nonsense? You people really… don’t know the meaning of the word ‘death!’”
Liu Changsheng, Zhan Beiqi, Wang Chonglu and the others all furrowed their brows. Their expressions filled with murderous intent.
But more than that, they were solemn.
They were well aware of how terrifying the experts of the Far Shore were.
Meanwhile, Su Yi finally lost patience. This should have been a simple matter. Was there any need to waste all this time?
“Liu Changsheng, it’s time to get started.”
It sounded like he was trying to hurry things along.
A strange silence instantly descended upon the entire area.
Both Liu Changsheng and his allies and the forces of the Far Shore were stunned. What, this kid thinks this isn’t entertaining enough? Or does he think he’s at such an absolute advantage that he simply can’t wait to watch all the excitement?
Either way, it felt quite strange.
Off in the distance, Hong Ying burst into laughter. “Very well. Do as the boy says and attack together. Send the lot of them on their way!”
“Yes, sir!” The Jailers’ voices boomed.
There were seven of them in total, and even the weakest of them was in the early-stage Profound Illumination Realm. As soon as they took action, their momentum shook both heaven and earth.
Terrifying murderous intent swept outward like waters at high tide.
“Leave Liu Changsheng to me!” The short-haired woman in the fur dress shouted. Before her voice had even finished booming through the air, she blurred into a streak of light and charged murderously at Liu Changsheng.
Boom!
She hefted her black scythe as if raising a pitch-black crescent moon and slashed furiously through the air. An indomitably forceful, calamitous aura of the Grand Dao shattered the entire stretch of ocean.
“Very well! Leave the saber cultivator to me!”
The thin, black-robed man with the twin silver daggers grinned, then shot forth in a flash. He was aiming for Zhan Beiqi.
At the same time, the other five Jailers of the Nine Heavens Pavilion charged toward Wang Chonglu and his generals.
Some activated secret arts, while others took out their treasures. Their auras were so mighty and destructive as to strike terror into the hearts of gods and ghosts.
It wasn’t that their cultivations were overly lofty, but that the taboo power of the Laws of Heavenly Prayer was just too heaven-defying.
Liu Changsheng, Zhan Beiqi, and their allies naturally wouldn’t just sit around and wait to die. All of them attacked without hesitation.
Clang!
The clear hum of a sword resounded through the air like the cry of an azure dragon. A snow-white Dao Sword appeared in the air and landed in Liu Changsheng’s outstretched palm.
The famous Mad Sword Netherworld Sovereign’s entire presence changed. His gaze was contemptuous, and his momentum was as vast as the ocean. The sword intent emanating from him connected both heaven and earth!
Not bad. Problems have arisen with his mental state, but that hasn’t influenced his attainments in the Dao of the Sword. Su Yi nodded to himself.
Boom!
Zhan Beiqi took action too. He burst forth, like a bolt of lightning or a sudden windstorm.
His dull, lightless saber exploded with appalling murderous intent. Before he’d even attacked, his sheer momentum shattered the surrounding skies and shook the nearby seas, throwing the water into disarray.
The majesty of the Divine Saber Demon Emperor was on full display.
Su Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised. Not bad! His Dao of the Saber has already reached major success within the Profound Serenity Realm. All he needs is to reach mastery, and he’ll be able to break the bottleneck of the Profound Serenity Realm and break into Profound Unity.
More than Liu Changsheng, it was Zhan Beiqi’s cultivation that surprised him.
Boom!
A grand battle broke out.
The entire stretch of heaven and earth were in turmoil, and the sun and moon lost their light.
Within a ten-thousand-foot radius, the entire stretch of ocean showed signs of falling into turmoil. It seemed all would be destroyed.
This was a battle between Imperial Realm experts!
Both Liu Changsheng and Zhan Beiqi were peak experts of the modern Netherworld.
At their level, their sheer imposing auras could easily crush entire landscapes and shatter the dome of heaven, causing unimaginable devastation.
Even the Thunderflame Demon Sovereign, Wang Chonglu, wasn’t at all ordinary.
However, their opponents were just too unusual. These were disciples of the Nine Heavens Pavilion, a sect from the depths of the starry sky, and all of them mastered the taboo, calamitous power of the Laws of Heavenly Prayer. This made them unbelievably strong.
Practically no one within the same realm of cultivation was a match for them.
They could even cross realms. For instance, a Profound Illumination Realm jailer had dealt the mid-stage Profound Serenity Emperor Wang Chonglu heavy wounds! A grand battle like this was enough to dazzle everything beneath the heavens. It would send waves throughout the entire Netherworld.
But strangely, after the fighting broke out, no one paid the young man standing atop the Unsinkable Boat any further heed.
Perhaps due to his low cultivation, they directly ignored him…
Even Su Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed. Do I… really seem so harmless?
Off in the distance, the Netherworld King obviously noticed this too, and a hint of a strange smile tugged at the corners of her red lips.
So, Su Xuanjun has been ignored!!
Haha! How amusing!
“Hehe.” Hong Ying followed the Netherworld King’s gaze and looked at Su Yi. He couldn’t help but laugh too, his expression full of mockery. “What’s the greatest insult to one’s dignity? It isn’t when your enemies hold you in contempt, but rather, when you’re not even worthy of contempt!”
The Netherworld King’s expression turned a bit strange, and she said slowly, “Is that so? But it seems to me that you’d best be careful. That guy is no ordinary person. At the very least… none of those currently fighting are worthy of being his opponent.”
Hong Ying froze, stunned, as if he couldn’t believe his ears. “Your Excellency, are you really talking about that Spiritual Revolution Realm kid?”
The Netherworld King batted her bright eyes. “Don’t believe me?”
Hong Ying furrowed his brow, then laughed, “Your Excellency, you must be teasing me! How about this, if he’s really as impressive as you say, I’m even willing to gouge out my own eyes!”
The Netherworld King broke into an intoxicating smile, half teasing, half serious. “You said it yourself. When the time comes, if you don’t gouge out your own eyes, I’ll help you.”
That titillating smile made Hong Ying’s heart shake, and his blood and qi heated up. He couldn’t help but laugh. “And if he fails to live up to your praise, Your Excellency? What will you do then?”
It was as if his eyes were glued to her; his gaze wandered her impressive figure freely, but he completely missed the cold, murderous light hidden within the depths of her bewitching gaze.
Hong Ying softly licked his lips, and just when he was about to tease and flirt with the Netherworld King further, the Netherworld King gazed beyond the bounds of the battlefield.
A look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face, and she muttered, “I wouldn’t have thought anyone else would dare to get involved.”
