Chapter 88

"Uncle Master!"

In the distance, the young man in purple shouted, his heart almost leaping into his throat.

The others were also visibly shaken.

Bang!

At the critical moment, Qingjin showed no fear and fought desperately, but was shaken by the blow, causing her Crimson Moon twin blades to fly out of her hands.

She fell several yards away, her pale lips coughing up blood, her bright eyes dimming, and her entire aura weakening.

"Still not dead?"

The man in hemp clothing frowned slightly, seemingly surprised and somewhat startled.

"Sixth Prince, while I'm still alive, you should hurry and leave. I know you have a life-saving trump card, so don't hesitate to use it when the time comes."

Amidst violent coughing, Qingjin struggled to stand up. She looked at the Crimson Moon twin blades that had fallen far away, her eyes filled with a hint of helplessness.

Then, she shook her head, took a deep breath, and her pale, beautiful face showed a calm expression. "He can risk his life, and so can I!"

The man in hemp clothing's pupils constricted, and he hesitated for a moment.

"Uncle Master, if we die, we die together!"

The young man in purple shouted, his eyes filled with determination. "When Father Emperor learns of today's events, all of them will die!"

Not far away, the middle-aged scholar and others all showed signs of unease.

"I've been protecting you all the way, not to let you seek death. Hurry up and get out of here!"

Qingjin shouted.

"Leave? No one here will leave alive today!"

The middle-aged scholar said with a stern expression from a distance. "Only if all of you die will this matter never be traced back to us!"

At once, Yuan Luoxi, Cheng Wuyong, and the others felt a chill.

At this moment, a sigh of helplessness echoed.

"I told you this would be a big trouble."

With the sound, Su Yi walked over from the ship's railing, holding a bamboo cane, looking calm and detached.

Everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to him.

Yuan Luoxi, Cheng Wuyong, and Huang Ganjun's eyes all lit up, their expressions excited. Was Mr. Su finally going to take action?

When they saw it was the young man who had been scared away by them at the staircase, the middle-aged scholar immediately sneered, "Little guy, don't be afraid. I'll make sure to cut off your head and give you a quick death!"

The black-clothed men around him all laughed.

"What do you mean?"

Hearing Su Yi's words, the young man in purple's face turned ashen, "You still think I kept you here to harm you!?"

His expression was visibly fierce, filled with boundless anger.

"Isn't it?"

Su Yi countered, "Knowing you have a secret, you still drink and enjoy yourself here. How foolish. Now, because of you, everyone here will suffer, how selfish is that?"

The young man in purple was so angry he almost coughed up blood.

Earlier, he had scolded Su Yi for being foolish and selfish, but now he was being scolded back by Su Yi!

"Look, they're fighting among themselves. Isn't this called dogs fighting? Hahaha."

In the distance, the woman who had tried to assassinate the young man in purple laughed without restraint.

Su Yi looked at her with a calm expression and said, "Soon, you'd better still be able to laugh."

The woman felt a chill in her heart, her laughter abruptly stopping, feeling uncertain. How could a Blood Circulation Realm youth have such a terrifying gaze?

"Sixth Prince, only Mr. Su can save us this time. I'm telling you again, don't let anger cloud your judgment."

Yuan Luoxi took a deep breath and said seriously.

"You mean... he can save us?"

The young man in purple was stunned, feeling like he had heard a huge joke.

"Miss Yuan, at this moment, I hope you're not joking!"

Zhang Duo's face was grim.

Even a terrifying existence like Qingjin was no match for that martial arts master, let alone a Blood Circulation Realm youth like Su Yi.

The middle-aged scholar and others in the distance were also stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Even the man in hemp clothing holding the black short spear shook his head slightly. In his eyes, Su Yi was like a clown, not knowing when to die.

If not for fearing Qingjin's desperate resistance, he would have already killed Su Yi.

At this moment, Qingjin was also annoyed, giving Su Yi a cold glance and sarcastically said, "If you can really save everyone here, I'll do anything for you! If not, just get lost!"

"Anything?"

Su Yi thought for a moment and said, "This condition is barely acceptable. Otherwise, helping strangers with their troubles would just make me uncomfortable."

Qingjin was stunned. Was this kid crazy?

In the distance, the man in hemp clothing's eyes flashed with cold light. Taking advantage of Qingjin's distraction, he launched a sudden attack.

How terrifying was the sudden attack of a master?

A boom!

The black short spear, enveloped in a powerful and blinding force, split the air, creating a sharp sonic boom.

"Quick, get out of the way!"

Qingjin's face changed, and she tried to push Su Yi, who was blocking her.

To her surprise, despite her great strength, pushing Su Yi was like pushing a mountain, and he didn't budge.

Clang!

At that moment, everyone heard a clear sword hum.

Then a sword light flashed, and in an instant, it was like a bolt of lightning tearing through the dark night, splitting the ink-black sky.

Everyone's eyes stung, almost tearing up.

The man in hemp clothing felt his soul tremble, his eyes showing a hint of confusion. In his consciousness, it was as if the universe had just opened, and a sword aura like ancient clouds emerged from the chaos, majestic and ancient, vast and lofty...

Then, this sword aura slashed down fiercely!

A sense of helplessness and despair washed over him, making the man in hemp clothing scream in terror:

"No—!"

The scream echoed through the night, rumbling.

Everyone in the scene shuddered, looking up to see a bone-chilling sight—

The man in hemp clothing, who had been charging forward, suddenly stopped mid-way, his black short spear frozen in mid-air, his tough, dark face filled with fear and despair.

Then, with a thud, he fell straight down, shaking the ground.

His body showed no wounds, but the vitality within him seemed to evaporate instantly, disappearing completely.

"No—"

"No—"

The man's dying scream still echoed.

Seeing this bizarre death, everyone's scalp tingled, feeling a chill down their spines.

"This..."

The middle-aged scholar and others were stunned.

How could a martial arts master die so strangely?

"Dead? Just like that?"

The young man in purple almost jumped, his eyes dazed, his mind numb, suspecting he was dreaming.

He didn't notice that his guard, Zhang Duo, was also unusually stunned, shocked by the death, his hands and feet trembling.

What kind of sword technique was this?

"Mr. Su's methods are becoming increasingly mysterious and unfathomable!"

Even Yuan Luoxi, Cheng Wuyong, and Huang Ganjun, who knew Su Yi well, were stunned, their hearts surging, overwhelmed with shock.

A sword flashed like lightning, splitting the night sky.

A martial arts master died on the spot, unscathed, a truly bizarre and terrifying death.

"You... you..."

Qingjin, the closest, was the most impacted, unable to speak.

When the man in hemp clothing attacked, she had intended to push Su Yi, the reckless youth, away, but failed.

However, at that moment, she saw how Su Yi acted.

His wrist flicked, and a sword shot out from the jade-like bamboo cane, piercing the night sky at an incredible speed.

What stunned her completely was that the sword slashed down, still a yard away from the man in hemp clothing, not even touching his clothes.

Yet, the man in hemp clothing died so strangely!

As she was dazed, Su Yi, standing in front of her, suddenly flashed to the woman nearby.

Faster than his speed was the Dust Edge Sword in his hand, piercing her throat effortlessly, like a ray of light.

Puff!

Blood splattered.

The woman's eyes widened, her face filled with bewilderment and shock.

She had been stunned earlier, but when she came to, the sword was already there, making her like a lamb to the slaughter.

"Laughing at the wrong time can be fatal."

Su Yi said softly.

Pulling out the sword, he didn't look at the woman who fell to the ground, dead, and turned his gaze to the middle-aged scholar in the distance.

At this moment, the middle-aged scholar and others had recovered, their faces changing, filled with indescribable fear.

The man in hemp clothing was their greatest support, yet he was killed by a single sword.

How could they not be shocked?

"Quick, run!"

The middle-aged scholar shouted, turning to rush toward the staircase.

The dozen or so black-clothed men around him were even more ruthless, rushing to the ship's railings, trying to jump into the Dachang River below the ninth deck.

But Cheng Wuyong, Zhang Duo, and others wouldn't let them get away, rushing out to attack.

"Kill, don't let these bandits escape!"

"Everyone, attack together!"

"Kill these dogs!"

On the ninth deck, there were not only Su Yi and his group but also many passengers who had been hiding nearby, including some martial artists.

Seeing this, these martial artists also rushed out, shouting and helping.

Su Yi had planned to pursue, but seeing this, he stopped, sheathing his sword.

He was always lazy and wouldn't do what others could do for him.

Turning to find a chair, Su Yi sighed, feeling the fatigue in his soul, feeling self-deprecating.

The sword that killed the man in hemp clothing was a soul technique he had just cultivated, the "Great Void Soul Sword Technique."

The sword was like a great mountain, towering and majestic, directly slashing the soul, killing silently!

This was a secret technique of soul cultivation, not particularly profound, but it was勉强能让他以现在的灵魂力量施展出来。

然而，即便如此，这一剑还是差点耗尽了他的灵魂力量。

“必须抓紧修炼《他化自在经》，唯有如此，才能游刃有余地施展这大虚魂剑诀……”

苏逸暗道。

正思索时，忽然，苏逸注意到不远处的紫袍青年将目光看了过来。

(Translation continues from the previous part)

However, even so, that one strike almost drained his soul power.

"I must hurry to cultivate the 'Hehua Zizai Sutra.' Only then can I wield the Great Void Soul Sword Technique with ease..."

Su Yi thought to himself.

As he was pondering, he suddenly noticed the young man in purple looking at him from a distance.
