Chapter 67

In the torrential rain, a large sun suddenly appeared. What a strange sight!

At that moment, the armored girl and the others, who had already lost all hope, felt a sharp pain in their eyes, but the chill that had enveloped their bodies seemed to dissipate instantly, and they felt the warmth they had long missed.

Then, they saw Su Yi, who was holding a green sword light, and they were all shocked, their eyes wide open as if a deity had descended upon them!

Sssss~

Silently, the ghost insects that were attacking the armored girl and the others began to melt like snow, their bodies turning into black smoke and vanishing into thin air.

"This..."

Uncle Yong, who was about to give up, felt the blood-curdling coldness in his body rapidly dissipate, as if he had been rescued from drowning. He was both surprised and puzzled.

When he saw Su Yi, he was also stunned.

In his eyes, that graceful young man seemed to have transformed, like a sword of the world, with an unparalleled demeanor and a divine presence!

At the same time—

The young nobleman's face changed completely, sensing the danger.

Especially when facing the sword light in Su Yi's hand, his skin felt a burning pain.

"Who would have thought I'd run into such a tough opponent this time!"

The young nobleman shouted, his eyes filled with determination, and he swung his folding fan fiercely.

Boom!

A blood-colored yin-sha cold current, several times more powerful than before, surged out like a flood, sweeping across the sky and rushing towards Su Yi.

"I have no qualms about telling you, this sword was prepared for you!"

Su Yi lightly tapped the green sword light, and a clear and resounding sword chant echoed through the vast heavens.

His eyes were calm, his clothes fluttering, and he stepped forward, lightly swinging the green sword light in the air.

In an instant, the sword qi shone like the sun, drawing a magnificent and invincible sword rainbow that pierced through the rain and split the night sky, with the power to cleave mountains and part seas.

I have a sword to cleave mountains and seas, and the turmoil will fade away.

This is the "Cleave Mountains and Seas" of the Great Joyful Sword!

Nothing could describe the might of this sword.

When it was unleashed, it seemed capable of cleaving through ten thousand mountains and parting boundless seas, unstoppable and invincible!

In the eyes of the onlookers, only a sword light carved through the heavens, piercing through all directions.

This sword light easily broke through the blood-colored yin-sha flood, split the sky, and struck the young nobleman directly.

This young nobleman, a powerful existence who did not even consider martial arts grandmasters, was now faced with a natural nemesis, his soul nearly fleeing in terror, unable to dodge in time!

Because the sword light, like a sun covering the sky, was omnipresent. When it struck him, it cut through him like paper, easily splitting his body in two.

"No—!"

The young nobleman let out a heart-wrenching scream of pain.

Then, his body split in two, the wounds smooth as a mirror, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

This young nobleman, who had despised grandmasters and made even a grandmaster of the Gathering Qi realm despair, was actually split in two by this single sword strike.

The might of this sword was divine and immortal!

"Is... Is this the power that a Blood Circulation realm can control?"

The guards were all stunned, especially one of them, who was so shocked that he lost his voice.

"I didn't realize I was so blind, unable to recognize a great person..."

Uncle Yong, whose strength had recovered slightly, was also stunned by this scene, his emotions surging, his face showing a mix of disbelief, shock, and shame...

"Is... Is Master Su a legendary immortal?"

Guo Bing was dumbfounded, with only this thought circling in his mind.

The armored girl stared at Su Yi, her emotions fluctuating wildly, feeling a complexity and loss of control she had never experienced before.

That day, she had experienced a myriad of emotions.

Excitement at the prospect of eliminating the demons of the Yin Sha Sect, anger at Su Yi's dismissive attitude, sorrow and grief over the death of the guard who had died early, fear and despair at the sudden threat...

Until now, all these pent-up emotions were shattered by Su Yi's sword strike, exploding in her chest, followed by a surge of joy, bewilderment, and disbelief like a mountain collapse and a sea surge.

Her mind went blank, and she could only stand there, staring at the young man in green, who seemed like a celestial being, lost in thought.

Sigh~

At the same time, Su Yi exhaled a breath.

That green sword light was formed from the basic talismans Su Yi had inscribed on the green jade bamboo tablet last night, named the "Great Sun Purifying Yin-Sha Array."

This array was not particularly powerful, but it was not something a martial artist of the four realms could create.

Due to his insufficient cultivation, Su Yi had to put in great effort to create this set of talismans, using a trace of aura from the Nine Hell Sword to infuse it into the talismans, barely managing to complete it.

Moreover, with his current cultivation, activating this array consumed a great deal of his energy.

Just that one sword strike had nearly drained all his strength, and his divine soul showed signs of weakness.

"Even with just Gathering Qi realm cultivation, it might not have been so difficult..."

Su Yi shook his head in self-mockery.

If it were in his previous life, there would be no need for the Great Sun Purifying Yin-Sha Array; just the "Cleave Mountains and Seas" sword strike would have swept through the world of imperial realm!

Let alone a mere Six Yin Corpse.

Su Yi took out the prepared green jade spirit bamboo slices, swallowing a few pieces, and felt the abundant energy begin to surge within his depleted body, finally sighing in relief.

He looked at the ground nearby.

The body of the young nobleman, split open, oozed thick, black blood, emitting a pungent stench.

Upon closer inspection, his beautiful and strange skin had peeled and cracked, revealing a corpse as decayed as iron and stone beneath!

In other words, the Six Yin Corpse's beautiful appearance was merely a human skin covering.

"Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving us. This great kindness, I will never forget, and I will be at your service whenever you need me!"

At this moment, Uncle Yong had recovered from his shock, quickly approaching and bowing, his expression filled with reverence and gratitude.

How could someone like him not understand that a young man like Su Yi was far beyond the ordinary martial artist?

Moreover, with Su Yi's single sword strike, he had turned the tide and saved all their lives, so his gratitude was genuine and heartfelt.

To put it bluntly, that single sword strike alone was enough to make a martial arts grandmaster bow in submission!

In this situation, even Uncle Yong, a grandmaster of the Gathering Qi realm, maintained a low profile, respectfully addressing Su Yi as "Immortal Master"!

Seeing this, the guards also hurried over, bowing solemnly.

"The life-saving grace of Immortal Master, we will never forget!"

However, they were also uneasy.

From the moment they met Su Yi in Guangling City until they entered the Ghost Mother Ridge, they had not been kind or welcoming to him.

Many had even thought of teaching Su Yi a lesson.

Now, facing Su Yi, who could cleave a young nobleman with a single sword strike, who could be at ease?

After all, even a powerful figure like Uncle Yong had already bowed in submission, viewing Su Yi as an immortal?

"Master... Are you really an immortal?"

Guo Bing also approached, trembling and timid, but his eyes were filled with fervent admiration, like a commoner seeing a legendary immortal.

"I am not an immortal."

When Su Yi spoke, he glanced at Uncle Yong and the others, his expression calm. "My purpose in coming to the Ghost Mother Peak was to slay this creature and seek some spiritual items. Saving you was merely a side effect, so there's no need for such formalities."

He was not being polite.

When he decided to come to the Ghost Mother Peak, he had anticipated that he would likely encounter the Six Yin Corpse.

That was why he had gone to great lengths to create a set of basic talismans using the green jade bamboo tablet, to have a trump card in case he encountered the Six Yin Corpse.

"Immortal Master came to slay this evil creature."

Uncle Yong seemed to understand, his expression becoming even more reverent.

In fact, Uncle Yong and the others did not realize that Su Yi's sword strike, though powerful, was specifically designed to counter ghostly creatures.

If it were a martial arts grandmaster, it would not have had such a great effect.

In short, that sword strike was specifically prepared to slay the Six Yin Corpse.

Even if they understood, Uncle Yong and the others would not dare to show any disrespect, as the power and subtlety of that sword strike were far beyond their comprehension.

"Why didn't you act immediately if you are so powerful?"

Suddenly, the armored girl rushed forward, her face filled with anger. "If you had acted earlier, how could Hu Jiu and Zhang Tong have been killed by the ghost insects? How could Uncle Yong have almost been in danger? How could we have been in fear and despair all this time?"

The entire scene fell silent.

Faced with such unreasonable accusations, even the honest Guo Bing could not bear it, and he could not help but speak up:

"Miss, my master has been treated poorly by you all from the start, and he has never held it against you. Now that he has saved your lives, you should be grateful, not question him like this. Isn't that too much?"

Even Uncle Yong's face changed, and he shuddered inwardly.

Miss, Miss, the Su Yi you are facing now is a terrifying existence!

The power he wields could easily destroy everyone here. How can you still show such disrespect?

He quickly stepped forward, his expression stern, and shouted: "Miss, you need to wake up! We were the ones who treated Immortal Master Su poorly before. Even if he hadn't saved us, there would be no reason to blame him. But he still saved us out of righteousness, and this is a great kindness. How can we repay evil with kindness?"

His words were harsh, and the armored girl was stunned, unable to respond.

She had never seen Uncle Yong, who doted on her the most, scold her so fiercely.

His stern appearance made her feel incredibly alien.

The armored girl had been raised in luxury, pampered and adored, with outstanding looks and a prominent background. Wherever she went, she was always praised and adored.

She had never imagined that a single word from her could make Uncle Yong scold her!

"Miss, what Lord Cheng said is correct. You must not let anger cloud your judgment."

The guards also joined in, trying to persuade her.

They were also shocked by their mistress's disrespectful words, fearing that Su Yi might be angered and strike them all down with a single sword.

Uncle Yong was speaking up for Su Yi.

Even the guards were doing the same.

At this moment, the armored girl felt as if she had been isolated from the world, her face changing, her eyes becoming bewildered.

Could I really be wrong?

After a long time, the armored girl seemed to regain some clarity and reason, and she faced Su Yi, lowering her proud head in sorrow.
