FIRST IMMORTAL OF THE SWORD

Chapter 1227 - Scared Out of Their Wits



Chapter 1227 - Scared Out of Their Wits

The proprietress of As-You-Wish Tower really was angry.

She’d just received word of the bloodshed and upheaval that took place outside the city gates.

Furthermore, members of Flying Cloud Tower had already come looking for her, and they’d threatened her without the slightest politeness. They said that if she dared protect the killers, she’d be opposing Flying Cloud Tower.

The proprietress was already enraged. It turned out that these spendthrifts saw her establishment as a place to seek refuge!

They were practically pushing As-You-Wish Tower into the flames!

“What kind of attitude is that?” The old man in Daoist robes had an unsightly look on his face. “This is an inn. You’re supposed to welcome us in and see us off when we’re ready to leave. How can you take our money and kick us out? It’s outrageous!”

Su Yi took a sip of wine as if all of this were perfectly normal, while Qing Wan pressed her lips. Suddenly, the beautiful proprietress seemed detestable.

Meng Changyun stood there expressionlessly, only looking at Su Yi. When he saw that Su Yi had yet to express his stance, he too remained silent.

“I’ve yet to settle the score with you, and you think you can argue with me?” The proprietress’s gaze was icy. “Let me tell you: As-You-Wish Tower is mine. If I tell you to leave, you have to leave!”

The experts behind her looked increasingly unfriendly.

“Let’s go.” Su Yi rose from the soft couch and headed outside. Qing Wan and Meng Changyun hurried after him.

The old man in Daoist robes was briefly stunned, and he couldn’t help but fall silent.

Even a mighty dragon loses to a local serpent.

As-You-Wish Tower is the greatest money pit in Skyblue City. It’s rumored to have an extremely powerful backer.

That senior, Shen Mu, obviously realizes this. That’s why he’s decided to endure in silence.

“At least you recognize your situation.” When she saw them leave, the proprietress’s expression mellowed considerably. “I’m not returning the cost of your room. Consider it As-You-Wish Tower’s compensation.”

Three thousand Star Vein Spirit Crystals was a considerable sum even to As-You-Wish Tower.

Under ordinary circumstances, it was rare to run into such a high-rolling guest.

When she saw that Su Yi and company were leaving cooperatively, she naturally wouldn’t take the initiative to return their money.

Su Yi smiled and disregarded her. Meng Changyun glanced at her pityingly but said nothing.

“Come on, let’s go watch the show! The forces of Flying Cloud Tower have already sealed off the entire area. The moment they go outside, they’re doomed.” The proprietress sauntered off, her steps light and airy. “Right, when the battle begins, keep a close eye on the gate. We absolutely can’t let those guys run back inside.”

“Got it!” The experts behind her agreed in booming voices.

Dusk was imminent.

The streets around As-You-Wish Tower were originally incomparably lively, but now, they were all but deserted.

When Su Yi and company emerged from As-You-Wish Tower, austere murderous intent swept over heaven and earth and bore down upon them.

Up and down the street, the trees swayed, their leaves falling to the ground. The blood-red twilight cast its hues upon the buildings, giving them a desolate, oppressive air.

Upon closer inspection, numerous figures were already standing upon the rooftops. There were over a hundred of them, each overseeing a different area. They’d sealed the surrounding ten thousand feet off completely.

The auras emanating from them gathered, like smoke soaring into the heavens, or a dark cloud bearing down on the city. It was almost suffocating.

“A lineup like that could kill even Imperial Apex Emperors with ease... I’m afraid that only a peak expert like the Wilds’ Swordmaster of Abstruse Force could fight his way through such an encirclement...”

The old man in Daoist robes gasped, his face full of undisguisable fright.

He’d lived in the Dark Nightmare Realm for years, but this was his first time seeing a lineup of over a hundred Emperors!

Meng Changyun’s expression was strange. I’m afraid this guy arrived in the Dark Nightmare Realm a long time ago. Otherwise, how could he possibly say something so... absurd?

Qing Wan was a kindhearted sort, so she gently comforted the old man in Daoist robes. “Uncle, this is nothing to worry about, and you don’t need to be afraid. Just consider them... Just consider them already dead.”

“????” The old man in Daoist robes almost dared not believe his ears. Earlier, Shen Mu’s elderly attendant was arrogant to the extreme. Now, it seems his lady companion is even crazier!

The proprietress of As-You-Wish Tower and her experts watched coldly from the sidelines. When they saw Flying Cloud Tower’s lineup, they were inwardly startled, and chills coursed down their spines.

They were increasingly glad they’d kicked these guests out.

When she heard Qing Wan, the proprietress almost laughed. Their deaths are imminent, but they’re still trying to comfort each other? Ridiculous!

“Our boss has ordered that we can spare your lives if you come quietly!” Off in the distance, a silver-robed man appeared out of thin air and gazed down at them from on high, his expression cold and cruel. “Refuse... and we’re to make your lives worse than death!”

His voice boomed like thunder, reverberating throughout the surrounding area.

Over a hundred Emperors had gathered, their auras austere and murderous. Countless gazes locked onto Su Yi and his companions, making the atmosphere even more stifled.

Meng Changyun bowed and said solemnly, “Young lord, please permit this humble old man to exterminate these tiny shrimp and fish!”

“Mm,” said Su Yi. “Leave one of them alive.”

“Got it!” Meng Changyun assented.

He was inwardly raring to go. A pack of Emperors, that’s all, but they dare make such outrageous demands? They’re simply seeking death!

“Fellow Daoist, you must be careful!” The old man in Daoist robes couldn’t help but warn him.

Meng Changyun was flabbergasted, but then, he laughed. “Just don’t let what happens next scare you too badly.”

With that, he leaped into the fray.

“Old man, are you... planning to throw your life away?” Off in the distance, a man in warrior robes exclaimed. The other Emperors’ expressions were strange too.

They’d heard every word of Su Yi and Meng Changyun’s conversation, especially the part when Meng Changyun called them “little shrimp and fish.” Many of them couldn’t help but find this amusing.

Now, when Meng Changyun stepped forth all on his own, the proprietress of As-You-Wish Tower and the others couldn’t help but laugh. The old servant sure isn’t afraid of death...

Meng Changyun soared into the air, scanning the area, his gaze cold and contemptuous. “To tell the truth, even added together, a pack of small fries like you isn’t even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth.”

His voice spread throughout the entire era.

The crowd was stunned, and they almost dared not believe their ears.

“No need to waste words. First, kill that old eyesore!” Off in the distance, the silver-robed man furiously issued orders.

“Yes, sir!” A group of Emperors stepped forth eagerly and attacked from afar.

There were more than ten of them, and their majesty blotted out the skies and obscured the sun, throwing the sky into disarray.

Even just watching from afar was enough to make one’s heart tremble with fright.

Su Yi just continued drinking. He couldn’t even be bothered to watch. Instead, he softly conversed with Qing Wan. Beneath the blood-red light of dusk, she seemed extraordinary and transcendent.

The light highlighted her graceful figure, making her as moving as a banished lady immortal.

But the old man in Daoist robes couldn’t stay calm. His heart was on tenterhooks.

At that moment, Meng Changyun attacked.

All he did was turn his hand and press down on the air in one casual motion.

Boom! fre ewebno vel.com

Heaven and earth trembled, and the skies collapsed.

More than ten Emperors exploded still in midair, their treasures exploding with them.

With a single flip of his palm, he exterminated more than a dozen Emperors!

This tyrannical scene astonished everyone present. Their expressions froze in place, and their hearts filled with astonishment. What’s going on!?

“Nothing but ants!” Meng Changyun laughed coldly, then shot forward in a flash and began a massacre.

Every time he attacked, a group of Emperors exploded, their blood staining the skies red.

No one could stand in his way, nor could anyone block his attacks!

As mighty as Profound Unity Emperors were, they couldn’t take even a single strike. It was no different from slaughtering dogs and chickens.

All of a sudden, throughout the surrounding area, one group of Emperors after another exploded, destroyed in body and soul, blooming like crimson fireworks.

Rather, it seemed like a rain of blood mixed with fragments of treasure and severed limbs.

Desperate cries, agonized howls, and terrified shrieks interwove with this vision of slaughter, outlining a scene straight out of purgatory.

This was no different from a massacre!

This was the power of a World King. They stood above even an army of Emperors, plucking stars with a snap of their fingers, grabbing the moon at whim. They were hegemons of entire Star Realms.

Compared to a World King, even the mightiest of peak Profound Unity Emperors were no different from ants.

Of course, Su Yi had been an exception.

It was precisely because Su Yi was so unusual that in both the Sea of Falling Stars and the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals, countless World Kings had fallen flat on their faces against him, losing their lives in the process.

Just nine snaps of the fingers later, the curtains fell on this battle. The silver-robed man had been captured alive, but every Emperor he’d brought with him—over a hundred of them—had died brutally on the spot. No exceptions!

The smell of blood permeated the air. Throughout the surrounding streets, numerous buildings had been reduced to rubble, and a churning destructive aura lingered. The blood-red light of the setting sun only made it even more unsettling.

The old man in Daoist robes was completely dumbstruck. He stood there in a daze, his mind blank.

Earlier, he’d thought Meng Changyun an unassuming elderly servant, albeit with an extremely brazen manner of speaking. He was even worried on his behalf.

Now, he realized that Meng Changyun wasn’t arrogant at all. Killing Emperors really just took the old servant no effort at all!

“Young lord, what should I do with this person?” Meng Changyun held the silver-robed man aloft and requested further orders.

“Search his soul, see what you can learn about Flying Cloud Tower, then kill him,” Su Yi ordered casually.

“Got it!” Meng Changyun immediately did just that.

By the gates of As-You-Wish Tower, the proprietress’s knees turned to jelly and hit the ground. She pleaded in terror, “I had eyes, but I did not see! Please, don’t take offense, seniors!”

The experts behind her were frantic too. All of them hurriedly knelt, so scared that their souls practically left their bodies. They were quivering from head to toe.

Over a hundred Emperors had been cut down like wheat beneath a scythe!

This bloody spectacle really had scared them out of their wits. They were terrified and ill at ease.

Su Yi faced away from As-You-Wish Tower’s Gates, not turning to look. Instead, he gazed at the distant sunset and drank from a jug of wine.

He had to admit that the sunset in the Dark Nightmare Realm was extraordinarily beautiful.

Qing Wan pursed her lips. She took his money, then kicked him out, and now she regrets it? It’s already too late.

When she saw that Su Yi wasn’t saying anything, the proprietress was increasingly terrified. She begged, “Senior, please, show mercy and spare me just this once. I’m willing to give you all of the wealth I’ve accumulated over the years. Please, show mercy just this once!”

“When you do something wrong, you ought to be the corresponding price. Seems to me that As-You-Wish Tower... no longer needs to exist.”

WIthout so much as turning his head to look, Su Yi put away his jug of wine and swung his sleeves through the air.

A streak of sword qi descended from the heavens, and all one thousand feet of As-You-Wish Tower collapsed with a boom.
