Chapter 127: If a Person Is Like an Exiled Immortal, They Should Only Belong in the Heavens

The aura spread, and the training ground was filled with dust and smoke.

The bluestone slabs on the ground had shattered into countless pieces.

All eyes in the arena were filled with shock as they looked at the young man in the green robe, their hearts surging and roiling.

"How can this young man be so powerful?"

Countless people felt their scalps tingling and their hearts trembling.

Before this battle, no one had believed in Su Yi. They all thought that Su Yi was bound to lose, and they only wondered if he could manage to save his life.

Mu Cangtu's swordsmanship was peerless, his reputation resounding throughout the nineteen cities of Yunhe County. How could a mere seventeen-year-old at the Qi Gathering stage contend with him?

But once the battle began, people realized that Mu Cangtu hadn't gained the slightest advantage from start to finish!

No matter his astonishing swordsmanship or his ultimate move, he couldn't do anything to Su Yi.

"So, Mr. Su is this powerful..."

Yuan Luoyu murmured. He had previously been uncomfortable addressing Su Yi as "Mr. Su" and had always called him "Young Master."

But now, almost subconsciously, he changed his form of address.

"Now you finally see it, right?"

Yuan Luxi's delicate face was excited and blushing.

"If a person is like an exiled immortal, they should only belong in the heavens."

Yuan Wutong sighed with emotion.

He, too, was shaken. Even with his knowledge as the head of the Yuan family, he couldn't imagine which Qi Gathering-stage youth in this world could contend with a martial arts Grandmaster like Mu Cangtu.

"So, this is his true strength..."

Qin Wenyuan's expression was unsettled, his mood fluctuating. He had always been extremely deep-minded, but at this moment, he felt a sense of loss of control.

An inexplicable chill surged in his heart.

He had assumed that Su Yi's confidence came from some external force, such as Yuan Wutong or other influential figures.

But he had never expected that Su Yi's confidence came from within himself!

"I told you, with his talent, one day he will be able to compete with the King of Zhenyue."

Zhang Zhiyan sighed, but his expression was very uneasy, and a hint of gloom clouded his brow.

In his presence, Zhang Yuanxing's body stiffened, his soul lost and bewildered.

Before, he had said that Su Yi could die at the hands of Mu Cangtu and rest peacefully in the afterlife. But reality had slapped him hard in the face!

"How is this possible?"

Qin Feng's eyes widened in anger, his face filled with disbelief, his teeth grinding.

"Yes, how is it possible..."

The influential figures from the Qinghe Sword Academy all had a dazed look in their eyes, their expressions constantly changing.

"Such a sword technique, unheard of before. Even though I am unwilling, I have to admit defeat!"

In the center of the training ground, Mu Cangtu fell into a long silence. Suddenly, he let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with desolation and a touch of bitterness.

He had dedicated years to cultivating the sword, but in an instant, he suffered such a tragic defeat!

This was an immense blow to the head of the Qinghe Sword Academy.

Su Yi said, "Since you admit defeat, take your people and leave."

Mu Cangtu was taken aback. "Why not finish us off?"

"I once trained in the Qinghe Sword Academy. Regardless of what I went through back then, I still have gratitude towards it."

Su Yi's expression remained calm.

Mu Cangtu had a complicated expression as he bowed and said, "Thank you!"

A young man with such breadth of mind and courage made even this old guy, who had lived for many years, feel inferior.

"Let's go."

Mu Cangtu waved his hand and left, carrying his sword.

However, compared to when he arrived, his small figure now seemed frail and desolate.

A lifetime of glory had now become a stepping stone on the path to fame for a young man, inevitably causing a sense of frustration and melancholy.

The influential figures from the Qinghe Sword Academy followed him, their spirits low.

Everyone knew that once news of this battle spread, the reputation of the Qinghe Sword Academy would inevitably be severely impacted!

Witnessing these scenes, the atmosphere in the training ground became oppressive.

As one of the four prestigious sects in Yunhe County, the Qinghe Sword Academy's prestige was bound to be affected.

At this moment, one of the major top forces had been defeated and retreated. In the current arena, who could still be a match for Su Yi?

The dark clouds in the sky grew denser, accumulating like black lead blocks, and the air became heavy, making it difficult to breathe.

Su Yi swept his gaze around and said, "If anyone wants revenge, feel free to come. Today, we will settle it here."

These words made everyone in the crowd instinctively look towards Qin Wenyuan, who was sitting in the center of the high platform.

Qin Wenyuan remained silent for a long time, a look of shame appearing on his face. He said, "Only today did I realize how foolish the six guards of my prefectural mansion were. They dared to offend someone as extraordinary as Lord Su. If they died, it would be well-deserved!"

Saying that, he stood up straight and respectfully clasped his fists. "Lord Su, it was my anger that clouded my judgment earlier, leading to some misjudgments. I hope for your forgiveness."

Everyone in the crowd was dumbfounded.

Even Qin Feng stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what he was seeing from his own father.

"Old fox!"

Yuan Wutong cursed inwardly, quickly distancing himself from the situation.

At this moment, Zhang Zhiyan also stood up, smiling and saying, "Given Mr. Qin's status, he has voluntarily apologized. Since it was a misunderstanding, I believe we can put this matter to rest."

"Yes, yes, let's leave it at that."

Other influential figures present also began to agree one after another.

Su Yi's combat power was evident to everyone. How could they not understand that a young man who could make Mu Cangtu, a master in swordsmanship, bow his head would cause severe consequences if he were to lose control?

"These old bastards are all adept at changing their stance with the wind."

Huang Qianjun sneered inwardly.

"I believe Lord Su also wouldn't want things to escalate to an irreparable point, right?"

Zhang Zhiyan asked with a smile.

All eyes turned to Su Yi.

In their view, this was undoubtedly the best opportunity for reconciliation.

However, Su Yi glanced at the sky and casually said, "Do you think I came here today just to show off my strength and make you all bow your heads in reconciliation?"

Qin Wenyuan's heart sank.

Zhang Zhiyan looked puzzled and asked, "Lord Su, what do you mean by that?"

"Do you want to get involved too?"

Su Yi asked.

Zhang Zhiyan quickly shook his head and said, "Zhang is just here to watch the show."

"Then keep quiet."

Su Yi said coldly.

Zhang Zhiyan's expression froze, and his slightly chubby cheeks turned red with embarrassment. As the head of the Zhang family, being reprimanded by Su Yi in front of everyone made him lose face.

"Su Yi, what do you mean by that?" Zhang Yuanxing angrily questioned. "My father didn't offend you. You're being too arrogant!"

"That's enough!" Without waiting for Su Yi to speak, Zhang Zhiyan scolded, "We're just here to watch the show, so stop causing trouble!"

With a gloomy expression, he sat back down and remained silent.

Zhang Yuanxing's expression fluctuated, but he didn't dare to say another word.

Seeing that neither the father nor the son dared to speak up again, the others present fell into silence, their expressions varied.

This was the might that Su Yi had built by defeating Mu Cangtu!

Even the prestigious Lord of the Qinghe Sword Mansion, a martial arts master who held power over half the city, had to bow his head in surrender. In the Yunhe County, which old-timer would dare to treat Su Yi as an ordinary youth?

"If Lord Su is dissatisfied, please voice your grievances. I, Qin Wenyuan, have made a mistake today and will compensate accordingly," Qin Wenyuan took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice from the high platform.

This was already another step back!

But Su Yi said, "Your son is your sore spot, and I also have my sore spot. Do you remember what the Blood Axe Gang did when their people went to where I live?"

Qin Wenyuan's expression changed slightly, finally understanding why Su Yi had come today.

He had crossed the opponent's taboo and bottom line!

However, Qin Wenyuan was not an ordinary person and didn't lose his composure. He said, "How does Lord Su propose to resolve this?"

Su Yi casually replied, "With the lives of you and your son, to serve as a deterrent."

These words were shocking, causing everyone in the audience to be shaken and unable to believe what they were hearing.

Even Yuan Wutong's eyes narrowed as he saw another side of Su Yi—one with a bottom line that should not be touched, as touching it would lead to certain death!

Qin Wenyuan's face also turned ugly in an instant as he said, "Su Yi, I have made concessions repeatedly. Is there really no room for negotiation in this matter?"

Su Yi lowered his head and looked at the Xuan Sword in his hand. He casually said, "I can give you and your son a chance for self-redemption. After three breaths, if you don't make a move, I'll help you."

His words made it difficult for everyone present to breathe, sending chills down their spines.

He was ruthless!

No one had expected Su Yi to completely disregard the dignity of the Lord of the County Seat.

"Good! Very good!" Suddenly, Qin Wenyuan laughed angrily, no longer restraining his inner anger. He said, "In my thirty years of ruling Yunhe County, this is the first time I have encountered such a stubborn and unyielding person like you!"

His face was filled with killing intent, his hair bristling with rage.

Qin Feng also exclaimed excitedly, "Father, I told you we shouldn't have given this bastard any face. We must kill him and be done with it!"

Dang!

Su Yi lightly tapped the sword's blade, and a clear melody resonated.

He raised his head, looked at the gloomy sky, and said softly, "When it's going to rain, people must die. Anyone who dares to stop me will be a party pooper."

As he spoke, he withdrew his gaze and took a step forward.

Wearing a green robe that fluttered in the wind, he appeared to be alone, yet exuded immense power, suppressing the spirits of everyone else present.

"Soldiers and officers present, listen up! Kill this madman!" Qin Wenyuan shouted loudly, his voice thundering through the training ground.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers stationed around the training ground responded with a resounding roar, the sound overwhelming.

The overwhelming momentum alone caused everyone in the vicinity to stand up and retreat to a safe distance.

"Father, this..." Yuan Luoxi grew anxious. Before she could finish speaking, Yuan Wutong grabbed her arm and pulled her away, seeking refuge in a distant place.

"Girl, just watch quietly. When I really need to intervene, I won't stand by," Yuan Wutong said with a deep and chilling gaze.

He could tell that Su Yi didn't care about escalating the situation. When he wanted to kill someone, he wouldn't care about their status or authority.

And since he dared to make a move at this moment, he must have something to rely on!

"Attack!"

A thunderous shout echoed.

Suddenly, a hundred soldiers armed with crossbows pulled the triggers.

A series of piercing whistles filled the air as a dense barrage of arrows, swift as a storm, pierced through the dark sky. They carried an unmatched sharpness and headed straight for Su Yi.

Such a scene was enough to make even martial arts masters tremble and not dare to challenge its edge!

On the elevated platform in the distance, Qin Wenyuan's cold gaze was sharp as lightning. Now that he had made a move, he became calm and indifferent, staring at Su Yi's figure as if he were looking at a dead man.

When he summoned Su Yi to the Qingding Training Ground today, he had already prepared for the worst.

There were three thousand elite soldiers here, as well as numerous experts from the County Seat!

Moreover, he himself was a martial arts grandmaster who could overlook Yunhe County. He had already prepared many trump cards!

He had initially thought that he wouldn't need to use them.

But now, he couldn't afford to consider so much anymore.
