Chapter 1651 - Even the Weak Are Unforgivable
He spoke with vehemence as he interrogated Su Yi!
Su Yi just said coldly, “Even if it means only a single warrior is left to defend the Seventh Gate of Heaven, I absolutely cannot spare those who compromise with our enemies!”
He paused, then said, “If I recall correctly, you were among those calling for my death, weren’t you?”
The man in jade-colored robes looked stricken, but before he could say anything, a streak of sword qi appeared out of midair, slaying him on the spot!
“A spineless piece of waste dares to question me about the Seventh Gate of Heaven’s defenses? How ridiculous!” Su Yi swept his gaze across the crowd. “I saw it all clearly. Many among you were as spineless as him!”
The crowd was instantly in chaos. Everyone who’d just been shouting for Su Yi to face death bravely paled and quivered with fright.
None of them would have guessed that Su Yi would point his sword at them after getting even with the Immortal Kings!
One of them shouted in fury, “Your Excellency Su, we’re all people of little importance. You cannot punish us all! A moment’s muddle-headedness led to us making a small mistake. Why must you kill us all?”
“I cannot punish you all?” Su Yi snickered. “You’ve erred. How can I casually overlook your mistakes? You say you\'re people of little importance? Does that mean you can act however you please?”
He uttered every word slowly and clearly. “I hate nothing more than shameless, despicable cravens like you. You simply go with the flow, making you capricious and unreliable. When it\'s hot, you fan the flames, and when someone falls down a well, you dump stones on them! If I let you leave this place alive, the Seventh Gate of Heaven will never know peace!”
His voice resounded through the nine heavens like the hum of a sword. Before it had even finished echoing through the air, he launched a massacre.
Boom!
The Laws of the natural order danced about like silver serpents, descending onto the crowd like the blades of divine punishment.
Over a thousand people had just been killed on the walls of the Seventh Gate of Heaven. Their corpses lay in pieces, and their souls dispersed.
The towering, ancient walls were covered in blood. Terrified, helpless shrieks rang out continuously. Everything was in chaos.
But upon closer inspection, it wasn’t difficult to realize that most had been spared from punishment.
“This is no indiscriminate slaughter. Fellow Daoist Su has long since determined who is guilty of stirring up waves and who isn’t!” Pei Hongjing said softly.
He was a famous Confucian Immortal King of Blue Cliff Academy, but he wasn’t unflexible or pedantic. He knew that Su Yi needed to be thorough to stave off future problems in the Seventh Gate of Heaven.
Severe illness requires aggressive treatment!
Does being weak mean you can just be forgiven for your crimes? What a joke!
Besides, no matter how “weak” they were, they were all at least immortals. All were far stronger than the general populace. All were strong enough that the vast majority of cultivators could only gaze upon them from afar.
Two Immortal Kings remained on the Cloudy Dome Immortal Platform, as well as the other Immortal Lords who’d come to participate in the Immortal-Demon Deathmatch.
The reason was simple. Just like Madam Xiangyun, they’d objected to throwing Su Yi to the demons in exchange for the hostages’ lives.
When they saw Su Yi cleanse the Seventh Gate of Heaven in blood like a god enacting divine punishment, the survivors’ hearts churned.
Zhang Lin sat there in a puddle of blood, watching in a daze. He no longer seemed frenzied, and he no longer laughed. Instead, two streams of hot tears poured down his cheeks.
This ought to have happened a long time ago!
Someone needed to wash the Seventh Gate of Heaven in Blood and excise its "festering tumors" before it could rise from the ashes like a phoenix!
“Haha! See that? The immortals are killing each other!” Off in the distance, Yin Xiaotian threw back his head and laughed. “Excellent! Kill to your hearts’ content! Su Yi, if you kill everyone in the Seventh Gate of Heaven, I might well spare your life. I’ll even give you an opportunity to become the Silvermoon Demons’ dog!”
His voice resounded throughout heaven and earth.
The other Demon Kings laughed along. Even they could never have guessed that Su Yi would be domineering and cold-blooded enough to execute so many of his fellow immortals.
The more ruthless he was, the more delighted the demons were. They’d just love it if Su Yi killed even more people!
The Seventh Gate of Heaven was a blood-soaked vision of purgatory. Blood fell like rain.
Su Yi showed no mercy. He struck with cold indifference.
You can\'t defend against external foes unless you are internally unified. Today, he’d use these dissidents’ fresh blood to rectify the Seventh Gate of Heaven!
Only then would the brave and righteous be willing to fight and die to protect the peace of the Immortal Realm!
Eventually, his cold-blooded ruthlessness made Yin Xiaotian and the other Demon Kings inexplicably ill at ease. Soon, they could no longer smile.
Su Yi was just a Universe Realm Immortal, yet he had the heaven-defying power to slay Demon Nobles with ease!
And this very same Universe Realm Immortal could direct the Laws of the Seventh Gate of Heaven to kill Immortal Kings and cleanse the garrison of disreputable scoundrels.
With an enemy like this, who wouldn’t be ill at ease?
“That someone like this exists in the Immortal Realm is a huge latent threat,” one of the Demon Kings said softly. “Just think about it. He’s only in the Universe Immortal Realm, but if he reaches the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao...”
His words trailed off, but his meaning was already perfectly clear.
Yin Xiaotian and the others’ hearts shook as they realized how serious the problem was.
As a Universe Realm cultivator, he could sweep through the Spirit Domain’s Demon Nobles. Were he to reach the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao, wouldn’t he be able to kill their Demon Sovereigns with ease?!?
“Most terrifying of all, he’s ruthless, and he kills decisively. If we let him live, I suspect he’ll become a second... Wang Ye!” one of the Demon Kings said gravely.
Wang Ye!
Yin Xiaotian and the others looked stricken. Who among them didn’t know of the unrivaled Tyrant? He was a top powerhouse of the Immortal Dao, and he’d killed countless warriors of the Spirit Domain!
Throughout the ages, there was no one else like him. There was no one else they hated and feared so much!
“We absolutely cannot let that happen! Within a hundred years, another War of Immortals and Demons is sure to break out. When the time comes, the forces of the Spirit Domain will break through the Nine Gates of Heaven and enter the Immortal Realm once more. We’ll become the rulers of its forty-nine provinces!” Yin Xiaotian took a deep breath and said gravely, “I refuse to believe that a Universe Realm Immortal like him can reach the Great Realm in less than a hundred years! There’s no way we’ll give him the opportunity to rise to prominence!”
The others nodded. Now that they knew of Su Yi’s terrifying abilities, they’d do everything in their power to destroy him!
They’d snuffed out plenty of promising talents in the past. It was no exaggeration to say that anyone the Immortal Realm saw as a monstrous talent was on their kill list!
Over the years, they’d snuck numerous assassins into the Immortal Realm to kill those blessed with great fortune, wisdom, and ability!
“It’s just a pity. I’m afraid that all the effort we’ve put into the Seventh Gate of Heaven over the years is about to go to waste!” Yin Xiaotian let out a long sigh.
His words seemed inexplicable, but the Demon Kings understood. All of them were displeased.
It wasn’t just that their efforts had gone to waste. They’d lost this Immortal-Demon Deathmatch too. Even Yin Beiwu had been killed.
And all of this was because of Su Yi!
“Let’s go.” Yin Xiaotian said with waning interest. He could already tell that he had no hope of killing Su Yi today, so he decided to leave.
But then, heaven and earth rippled, and Su Yi appeared out of nowhere. His footsteps were calm as he crossed the barrier and arrived outside the Seventh Gate of Heaven.
“Perhaps you didn\'t hear me earlier. I said none of you are going anywhere.”
Yin Xiaotian and the others exchanged glances. Their expressions filled with murderous intent.
“Now that you’ve left the bounds of the Laws’ barrier, how can you possibly fight us?” said Yin Xiaotian. He smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes.
All the while, he silently shifted positions to block Su Yi’s escape route.
As a Demon King, he was keenly aware of the barrier’s power, but he knew it only covered the area within eighty thousand feet of the Seventh Gate of Heaven.
Now that Su Yi had left its bounds, he’d lost its protection. He’d delivered himself right to them!
However, Yin Xiaotian was too cautious to get complacent.
Su Yi simply shrugged and said forthrightly, “I forgot to tell you, but so long as the Seventh Gate of Heaven is within sight, the Laws of the Immortal Realm are at my disposal.”
Yin Xiaotian and the others were stunned. They visibly lost their composure and cried out in alarm as they turned and fled. “Run!”
“Useless.” Su Yi laughed, then snapped his fingers.
Boom!
The Laws surged throughout heaven and earth. In an instant, they formed a massive, natural barrier across the Bloodthirsty Plains.
They’d cut off Yin Xiaotian and the others’ escape route!
At the same time, countless sharp swords manifested of the Laws rose into the firmament, and the power of Laws poured onto the world below.
The demons were completely surrounded!
“Break!”
Without the slightest hesitation, Yin Xiaotian used the Demon Sovereign’s natal bone.
Boom!
The terrifying power of a Sovereign surged forth, shattering the countless streaks of sword qi and breaking through the rain of the natural order. It was powerful beyond imagination.
“A remnant of a Demon Sovereign’s power, that’s all. It’ll break in a single attack.” Su Yi was entirely unflustered. He pressed his right hand down in midair.
Boom!
Heaven and earth overturned, and everything was destroyed.
Explosive Immortal Laws burst forth like the waters of heaven breaking through a dam. They instantly enveloped the entire area.
Yin Xiaotian poured all of his power into the natal bone in an attempt to fight back, but within seconds, the bone split into pieces!
“Dammit!” Yin Xiaotian and his allies panicked. All of them fought like mad, activating their trump cards with all their might. They didn’t hold back at all.
But their struggles were entirely ineffectual. In the face of Immortal Laws, they were like duckweed swept into turbulent seas.
There was no escape!
