Chapter 1489 - One Slash Is Sufficient to Massacre a City
Chapter 1489 - One Slash Is Sufficient to Massacre a City
Heaven and earth were as bright as at midday.
Su Yi and the others’ figures were thoroughly illuminated and on clear display.
The crowd’s hearts clenched. Their hearts and minds felt stifled.
There were close to eight hundred Dao Integration experts gathered in Western Chill City, including no small number of ruthless top experts. One look at the scenery in Western Chill City and they knew their enemies were ready and waiting. They’d placed a shocking death trap!
“Your Excellency Su, don’t tell me... we’re going to charge into the city?” someone asked cautiously.
Su Yi shook his head. “No need. That would waste too much time.”
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves through the air.
Clang!
The Sword of the Human Realm whooshed into the air and hovered before Su Yi.
The simple, unadorned, deep-blue sword glinted beneath the firelight, its cold light terrifying to behold.
“One slash of this sword is sufficient to massacre a city,” said Su Yi.
He raised his hand and tapped the sword hovering before him.
Whoosh!
The Sword of the Human Realm blurred into a beam of light and took to the skies.
......
A ritual ground stood at the center of Western Chill City. Ten or so peak experts had gathered here, some standing, others seated.
“The city’s strongholds are covered in a total of forty-nine killing formations, each overseen by twelve of our fellow Daoists. When all fort-nine killing formations circulate, we can activate the Blue Demon World-Annihilating Formation. It’s enough to destroy even Cloud Soaring experts with ease!” someone said softly. “Even if that madman from the Eastern Profound Star Domain were ten times as powerful, he’d be doomed!”
Over the past three days, these top experts had gathered together and tried their best to gauge that young man in blue’s strength. And their conclusion filled their hearts with terror.
Even if they joined forces, they’d have little hope of victory!
It was for this reason that they’d spent the past three days arranging their forces and placing formations. They dared not be even the slightest bit negligent.
“Perhaps he’s too afraid to show up. After all, in his shoes, there’s no way I’d be stupid enough to come alone and throw my life away,” someone said with a laugh.
“If he doesn’t show up, won’t all of our hard work go to waste?”
“If that happens, let’s just attack Eastern Profound City!”
“I heard that madman didn’t just declare war against us. He’s provoked Northern Abyss and Southern Flame Cities too. He’s simply sick in the head!”
...As they conversed, a streak of flame soared into the air by the city gates.
“That guy really showed up!”
The city’s top experts were startled into action, all of them visibly surprised. Then, someone threw back his head and laughed.
“Isn’t it better this way?”
Boom!

Countless streaks of divine flame soared out of Western Chill City, casting away the darkness and illuminating the landscape.
“Everyone, we ought to get to work too!” someone said with seething murderous intent.
“Once we’ve killed that bastard, I’ll treat you all to a drink. We won’t stop until we’re drunk!” a charming woman said with a laugh.
Everyone expressed their agreement.
But then, someone looked up at the dome of heaven. “Hm? Look!”
The others looked over and saw the blood-red full moon hanging beneath the dome of heaven.
A sword had appeared above the city, like a beam of flowing light.
A moment later, it descended.
Boom!!!
Countless, densely clustered streaks of sword qi descended, like the river of stars bursting through a dam and pouring onto the world below.
Every streak of sword qi was like a beam of flowing light. They were colorful and resplendent, and they lit up the night sky!
As far as the eye could see, it was as if the river of stars were sweeping across the sky, illuminating the night like paper lanterns on a festival night.
Everyone in Western Chill City was completely astonished.
A moment later, numerous people’s expressions shifted. As that sword qi poured down, it looked beautiful to the extreme, but in truth, it was terrifying as could be. It tore open countless startling rifts in the sky!
Even just watching from afar caused a prickling pain in the onlookers’ hearts and minds, and their courage failed them. The top experts were the first and the only to react, and they immediately roared in fury, “Quickly, activate the grand formation——!!”
Boom!
The power of countless formations surged through the skies over Western Chill City, forming layer upon layer of raging tidal waves that enveloped the city completely.
The layers of killing formations were intended for Su Yi, but now, no one could concern themselves with that. They just operated the formations with their full power.
But an astonishing scene followed——
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One streak of sword qi after another descended, each boring a hole through the layers of killing formations with unstoppable force. The formations were soon riddled with holes, and before long, they collapsed and burst.
Everyone reacted as if they’d been struck by lightning. They were completely dumbstruck.
Those killing formations would have been enough to destroy a Cloud Soaring Transcendent! Yet now, they’d popped like soap bubbles!
“No—!”
“Hurry up and run away! Run away!!”
Terrified shrieks rose and fell in waves.
But they were too late.
As the fierce rain of sword qi fell, it slaughtered one pack of Dao Integration cultivators after another. Even the strongest of them, despite resisting the rain with all their might, were terrified to discover just how ineffectual their strength was.
In the blink of an eye, they too were slain on the spot. In other words, beneath the raging sword qi, Dao Integration cultivators were no more than ants, no matter their strength.
......
Outside the city.
As the experts of the Eastern Profound Star Domain pondered what Su Yi meant when he said, “One slash would be enough to massacre a city,” they took in this bloody spectacle.
Boundless sword qi enveloped all of Western Chill City!
Desperate cries, terrified shouts, unwilling roars... rose and fell in waves.
Meanwhile, within city limits, flames surged and currents of destructive power ran rampant. It was as if a bloody scroll painting of purgatory were unfurling before their very eyes.
Everyone trembled from head to toe, their expressions dazed. There was no need for imagination. They’d watched with their own eyes, and they now knew what it meant to destroy a city in a single slash!
The sword rain quickly ended, and everything returned to stillness. The commotion within the city died down, and a strange, deathly silence befell the entire area.
All that remained was the stench of blood mixed into the nighttime gales. The smell spread from the city and assailed the crowd’s nostrils, making them dry heave.
Clang!
Su Yi beckoned, and the Sword of the Human Realm transformed into a beam of light and landed in his palm.
“All of them... are dead?” someone murmured in a daze.
A sword rose into the air. Sword qi filled heaven and earth, emptying an entire city! This bloody scene was unquestionably far, far too shocking.
“Wonderful... Wonderful....” Zhan Yun said in a quavering voice. It was someone from Western Chill City who’d killed her senior apprentice brother.
Now, the entire city had been destroyed in a single slash! That naturally meant that her senior apprentice brother had been avenged.
But most of the onlookers fell silent.
Su Yi’s slash was just too tyrannical and terrifying. It came as an enormous mental blow. Even after quite some time had passed, they couldn’t calm down.
On their way here, they’d pictured all manner of possibilities and predicted all manner of dangers.
But they’d never considered that when they reached their enemies’ home base, Su Yi wouldn’t even bother going inside. One slash, and he’d destroyed every enemy within the city limits!
“There might be a few survivors, but it’ll be hard for them to accomplish much.” Su Yi retracted his gaze. “Come on, let’s go to Northern Abyss City.” frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
He turned and walked off; he couldn’t even be bothered to check Western Chill City for survivors.
The crowd overcame their astonishment and hurried after him.
A while after they left, a figure silently shot toward the city from afar. He was a thin old man in black, and he was from Northern Abyss City.
“One slash, and everyone in Western Chill City died?” The old man in black was visibly shaken. He stared intently at the distant Western Chill City, his entire body quivering uncontrollably.
The city was deathly silent, and the stench of blood permeated the air. It was hard to even imagine that not long ago, that city had housed eight hundred Dao Integration Transcendents of the Western Chill Star Domain.
“Who is that Eastern Profound Star Domain cultivator? Why is he so terrifying when he’s only in the Dao Integration Realm?”
The old man was completely drenched in sweat. He’d come here tonight on orders. His mission was to gather information and see whether or not that Eastern Profound Star Domain thug died in Western Chill City.
He would never have guessed he’d bear witness to a massacre!
“This is bad!” The old man in black’s expression shifted dramatically. “I have to send word back as soon as possible. That guy is just too terrifying. There’s no way we can beat him!!”
Whoosh!
The old man in black turned and dashed off incomparably quickly. He was frantic with worry, and he was giving his all, practically putting his life on the line to make it back to Northern Abyss City as soon as possible.
“Dammit! Here in the Second Battleground, message talismans don’t work. Otherwise, I could have let everyone in Northern Abyss City know by now!”
“Quick! I have to be quick!”
...The old man in black gnashed his teeth, then activated a forbidden technique. His speed soared to new heights once more.
Less than an hour later, the old man in black saw the outline of Northern Abyss City.
Casting all other concerns aside, he roared at the top of his lungs, “Run! Everyone, hurry up and run! Western Chill City has already fallen, and everyone in it is dead! That Eastern Profound Star Domain madman is... not someone we can fight! Hurry up and run——!”
His frantic voice boomed throughout the night sky, but there was no response from Northern Abyss City.
“Don’t tell me...” The old man in black was visibly stricken, and he came to an abrupt halt.
It was then that he noticed the dense smell of blood permeating the air.
And it was emanating from within Northern Abyss City.
What...
It was as if the old man had been struck by lightning. He saw stars, plummeted from the sky, and collapsed in the dirt.
They were finished!
The old man’s face was ashen, and he was overcome with grief and despair. He didn’t even need to think to know that everything that had happened to Western Chill City had already happened here, too!
“How is this possible? Nothing so bloody and terrifying has ever happened in the history of the Domain Boundary Battlefield! Not even a Cloud Soaring Transcendent could have done that!
“Don’t tell me that Eastern Profound Star Domain guy... is an immortal? No, that’s impossible! The Laws of the Domain Boundary Battlefield don’t permit immortals to interfere. How could an immortal possibly appear in the Second Battleground?”
The old man was completely frantic, and his mind went blank.
He couldn’t understand, nor could he accept it.
In truth, it wasn’t that the old man hadn’t been fast enough, but that Su Yi had begun this operation with the intent of finishing as soon as possible. He wasted no time at all.
Thus, he set off before the old man in black even arrived, crushing everyone in Northern Abyss City with unstoppable force.
Meanwhile, Su Yi was already leading the experts of the Eastern Profound Star Domain to Southern Flame City!
