Using a Machete to Kill an Ant

Upon receiving permission from Long Aotian and the others, Su Yi waved his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the six of them disappeared from their original spot.

When they reappeared, they were standing in the sky.

As soon as Murong Gong and his four companions arrived, they noticed an old man standing directly in front of them.

This old man had been expressionless moments before and was preparing to move on to the next mountain peak that had been cut down.

Seeing the severed peak, he had deduced that it was the work of a powerful individual, possibly the very person they were pursuing.

So he had come to investigate.

However, he had not expected that just as he was about to continue his search, six people would suddenly appear in front of him.

If these had been ordinary mortals, he wouldn't have thought much of it. But they weren't.

He found the aura of the people standing in front of him to be overwhelmingly terrifying.

When he looked closely at the face of one of them, his heart nearly stopped.

The Tyrant Immortal Emperor?!

"This... this is impossible! Why would the Immortal Emperor be here?!"

He was petrified, doubting his senses.

Su Yi vanished from his spot in an instant and reappeared right in front of the old man.

"Tell me, which organization are you from, who is in charge, and where is your base located? Of course, you could choose not to speak, but you know I have ways to make you talk," Su Yi said calmly, looking at the old man as if he were merely an ant on the ground.

The old man trembled as he faced Su Yi, who was now right in front of him. He was utterly confused.

Why was the Immortal Emperor here in the mortal world?

Moreover, their organization wasn't that strong. It shouldn't warrant the Immortal Emperor's personal attention!

This was like using a machete to kill an ant!

"Immortal... Immortal Emperor, if I tell you, will you let me go?" the old man stammered.

Su Yi smiled slightly.

"I can grant you a swift death if you talk. If you don't, I'll extract your Immortal Infant and torture it for a thousand years."

The old man's face turned ashen.

Su Yi had already learned from Long Aotian and the others that these people had caused the deaths of tens of thousands. Such people deserved no mercy.

The old man had no choice. He didn't want to experience the agony of having his Immortal Infant tortured. That was a torment feared by all immortals.

In the end, he revealed everything because he lacked the confidence to even commit suicide in Su Yi's presence.

In front of the Immortal Emperor, he didn't even have the courage to self-destruct. Any attempt would be futile as he would be subdued before he could act.

Su Yi listened carefully.

After hearing everything, Su Yi couldn't help but laugh.

"Not long ago, someone reported to me that there was an evil faction in the Immortal Realm, but I couldn't locate you. Now, I can destroy you along the way."

Having obtained the information he wanted, Su Yi waved his hand, and the old man's eyes widened in horror.

With a bang, the old man exploded, and blood rained down.

With the old man dealt with, Su Yi looked in several directions and made a few quick flicking motions with his fingers.

His movements were swift, but after the last flick, he paused.

His gaze seemed to penetrate the constraints of space, focusing on a spot far away.

There, in front of a pool of blood, stood a man with a golden sword.

"Why is the senior there...?" Su Yi swallowed hard, his face full of confusion, which soon turned into reverence.

This was definitely not a coincidence. The senior must have calculated everything!

...

Shortly before Su Yi flicked his fingers.

Above a mountain near Zhanwu King City.

White clouds drifted, and the surroundings were peaceful.

Suddenly, the old man who had just received orders from the sinister middle-aged man appeared here.

He floated in the air, scanning his surroundings.

His eyes narrowed sharply as he sensed a trace of dragon aura!

He had cultivated a martial skill related to dragons, so even a faint dragon aura nearby caught his attention.

Looking at a spot in the mountain below, he disappeared.

At that moment, in a part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, Chen Pingan and his group had just encountered a demon beast.

They had just entered the mountains and this was their first encounter with a beast.

Wanting to test his martial skills from the previous day's training, Chen Pingan rushed forward, calling out to the black flood dragon for assistance.

Sensing the flood dragon's terrifying aura, the demon beast was startled and tried to flee.

But just then, the old man suddenly appeared in front of it.

The beast, feeling the old man's aura, collapsed in fear, trembling violently.

The old man's eyes were first on the beast.

A dragon aura typically came from a beast, indicating it might awaken dragon bloodline in the future.

But seeing the black bear trembling before him, he frowned.

Not this one?

But he had sensed it here just moments ago!

With a bang, the old man's eyes narrowed, and the beast exploded, its blood evaporating before it could touch him.

After disposing of the beast, the old man looked around, finally noticing Chen Pingan and the others.

Not bothering to search individually, he released his aura.

In an instant, the area around him felt like a hellish battlefield, freezing everything.

Tian Shanshan, Liu Shuai, and the others, terrified by the old man's sudden appearance, fell to their knees as the oppressive aura weighed down on them.

Even Liu Shuai was stunned, realizing the man before them was an immortal, someone whose cultivation was unfathomable.

Despite their terror, Liu Shuai's thoughts turned to Chen Pingan, remembering the hidden strength and the golden sword.

Seeing Chen Pingan still standing firm, hope flickered in his eyes.

Chen Pingan, unaware of the changes behind him, focused on the old man, feeling uneasy.

"What's with this guy? Why did he suddenly appear and kill that beast? And why do I feel such malice directed at me?!"

The old man's eyes, locked onto Chen Pingan, were full of greed.

He believed Chen Pingan had awakened a dragon bloodline, something that could enhance his own power if he absorbed it.

Stepping towards Chen Pingan, he ignored the golden sword, dismissing it as a mere mortal artifact.

But just as he took a step, he froze.

A sudden, overwhelming pressure descended on him from behind.

He tried to turn, but it was too late.

With a bang, he exploded.

The area fell silent.

Chen Pingan and his companions were stunned, except for Liu Shuai, whose eyes gleamed with admiration as he stared at Chen Pingan, convinced he was a hidden powerhouse.
