Chapter 1407 - Pulling in the Net
His eyes flashed like lightning as he immediately locked onto his opponent, a man shrouded in black robes. He had a strange aura, and a mottled and inscrutable aura of calamity poured down around him. He gripped a beast-bone longbow.
The moment Su Yi looked over, the man in black shot his already-strung bow.
Boom!
It went off like a thunderclap, reverberating throughout heaven and earth. A golden arrow brought with it dazzling immortal light as it tore through the skies and descended, its power shaking everything on all sides.
Su Yi didn’t clash with it head-on. Instead, he pulled Qing Tang out of the way. The arrow missed them and exploded in midair. Firelight swept outward.
“Hold on tight.” Su Yi put Qing Tang on his back, drew the Sword of the Human Realm, and shot toward the man in black so quickly that his figure blurred.
The man in black watched with cold indifference, firing a dense rain of arrows in an instant. All of them were dazzlingly bright and resplendent, with enough power to shake both heaven and earth.
This time, Su Yi didn’t dodge. Instead, he swung his sword and met each arrow head-on.
Crunch! Crunch!
A dense series of explosions rang out as those golden arrows, each capable of piercing Cloud Soaring revenants with ease, snapped one after another.
Su Yi forged his way ahead like an axe through bamboo, drawing closer and closer to the man in black.
“Die!”
Two figures shot out of the rifts in the ground to intercept Su Yi!
They were a man and a woman. The man was built like a mountain and covered in black armor. He gripped a blue war spear with unrivaled valiance. The woman wore a military uniform, and she held two short silver halberds. She had a graceful figure and a swift, forceful presence.
Just like the man in black, they both emanated a dense air of calamity.
Boom!
When they attacked, heaven and earth changed color. Their force and momentum were stronger than even Cloud Soaring revenants!
Seeing this made Qing Tang’s heart clench. Her master’s wounds were already extremely severe, and his cultivation base was on the verge of running dry. Given the circumstances, how could she not worry?
Clang!!!
Su Yi swung his sword and blocked their pincer attack, but he couldn’t help but stagger backward. His face paled, and a golden arrow whooshed through the air before he could stabilize himself.
They’d seized just the right moment with perfect precision!
In the end, although Su Yi blocked the arrow, it pierced his left shoulder, pulping flesh and splitting bone.
But his enemies obviously had no intention of letting him catch his breath. That man and woman attacked once more, each fiercer and more valiant than the one before. They struck with unstoppable momentum.
Throughout this entire process, none of them said a single word. They just fought directly, terrifying to the extreme!
Su Yi’s eyes shone with cold light and rising murderous intent. He didn’t retreat, instead attacking with all his strength.
Boom!
Heaven and earth shook violently, and the sun and moon lost their light.
A moment later, Su Yi turned his wrist, the blade of his sword wrapped in the mysteries of reincarnation. One slash, and he slew the tall, stalwart man on the spot.
Splurt! Splurt!
The woman in military attire swung her short halberds, leaving two wounds so deep you could see Su Yi’s bones. She’d almost cut him in two. Blood sprayed the air, staining his clothes once more.
But it was as if Su Yi didn’t even notice. He leaped forward and swung his sword.
The woman in military attire raised her twin halberds, crossing them in front of her to block this strike. But she’d far underestimated this slash’s terrifying might.
Crunch! Crack!
The twin halberds shattered, and fragments of metal flew through the air. Unstoppable, tyrannical sword intent descended, cleaving the woman in half and killing her on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, he’d cut down two opponents!
But Su Yi paid the price for this. His wounds were even worse, and he was bleeding non-stop. It was a startling sight.
Boom!
Another golden arrow shot through the air, but this time, Su Yi made no attempt to block it. Instead, he turned and fled.
The black-robed man with the beast bone didn’t hesitate to give chase. Before long, the three of them had disappeared over the distant horizon.
Is the Temple Master really unable to hold out any longer?
A thin figure suddenly appeared on the battlefield, a wrinkled old man dressed in undyed cloth robes and a round black hat.
This was none other than the Tailor!
He gazed off into the distance, where Su Yi was fleeing, and furrowed his brow.
He and the Temple Master had clashed for countless years, and he had an incomparably deep understanding of the Temple Master’s character. Even in grave peril, so long as even the slightest hope of victory remained, the Temple Master wouldn’t run.
Yet now, he’d fled!
This reality filled the Tailor’s heart with an indescribable emotion, as if he’d encountered a rare, unprecedented scene.
It seems my guess was right on the mark. After the battle of Mount Luowu, he might have seemed mighty and imposing, but in truth, he’s an arrow at the end of his flight. The Tailor’s eyes flashed. That terrifying power that possessed him has undoubtedly already dissipated. Otherwise... why flee?
It’s just a pity about Zero-Eight and Zero-Nine. To think they couldn’t take the Temple Master down even when he was on the verge of death...
But even if the Temple Master is at death’s door, I cannot afford to get complacent.
As the Tailor pondered, he disappeared into thin air.
......
Beneath the dome of heaven.
Su Yi shifted through the sky, flying away at full speed. On his back, Qing Tang was overcome with worry. She was terrified that she’d distract her master, so she opened her mouth to speak, then hesitated on several occasions.
“Don’t worry,” Su Yi said suddenly. “I already know who my opponent is, and he can’t defeat me.”
During their earlier clash, he recognized his enemies at a glance. Those were the Tailor’s Hidden God Guards!
These monsters were created using the corpses of immortals as materials, combined with Transcendent revenants’ soul bodies.
They were different from typically demonic puppets, corpse puppets, and spirit puppets. The Hidden God Guards each contained a Transcendent revenant’s soul body, making them comparable to Cloud Soaring powerhouses, but with nearly unkillable bodies.
Furthermore, they were intelligent, and they’d mastered all sorts of combat techniques.
They didn’t look like living people, but they were otherwise not much different from Cloud Soaring revenants. They were just stronger and harder to kill.
But the power of reincarnation countered them.
Back at Four Seas Tower, Su Yi had slain Hidden God Guard Zero-Seven, so he knew these monsters like the back of his hand.
Boom!
The dome of heaven shook violently.
A golden arrow streaked through the sky from behind them.
The black-robed man holding a beast-bone longbow was gaining on them!
Su Yi whipped around, dodging an arrow and lunging at the man in black.
The man in black had no opportunity to nock and fire another arrow, but he still reacted extremely quickly. As he retreated explosively, he swung his bow in front of him.
Bang!
Su Yi swung his sword, and the beast-bone bow snapped. The pieces went flying, and terrifying sword force swept outward, sweeping across the man in black. He staggered on his feet.
A moment later, Su Yi was directly upon him. He swung his sword through the air.
Boom!
Terrifying sword qi burst, slaying the man in black on the spot. His body exploded into nothingness.
Simple, direct, and forceful to the extreme.
However, after slaying his third foe, Su Yi swayed on his feet, his face increasingly pallid. Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth once more.
His wounds were getting worse and worse, and his energy was in turmoil and on the brink of collapse.
But it was as if Su Yi felt no pain. His gaze was as calm as ever as he turned to leave.
Shortly after, the Tailor reappeared, his eyes flashing with cold light and his heart aching. “Zero-Four is gone too. But the Temple Master won’t be able to hold out much longer... it’s time to pull in the net!”
As soon as the Tailor reached this conclusion, he raised a talisman into the air and crushed it gently.
Wham!
The talisman split, and an inscrutable beam of light soared into the cloudy dome of heaven.
