Chapter 85: Casual Sword
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
“This sword strike is called ‘Casual Sword.” Su Yang drew his sword and casually swung it.
A vast sword intent surged out.
The space in front of the crowd seemed to split, as the sword intent swept through.
In the next second, one of the Heavenly Transformation Realm experts, Wang Chengfeng, died!
Cut in half, his body fell downward.
Gu Tong and Silver Moon Sage saw this and trembled all over, their heartbeats racing faster than ever before.
Without a word, the two of them turned and fled, their bodies enveloped in true energy as they soared into the sky.
“Running away?” Su Yang’s voice echoed. “Didn’t you all want to see how I became this strong?”
As Su Yang’s words fell, the second sword was swung.
In an instant, Silver Moon Sage, who had fled a kilometer away, was cut in half.
Run?
Well, let’s have you run a kilometer first.
Su Yang looked at the last figure and swung his sword casually again.
The vast sword intent roared like a sea dragon, tearing through everything in its path.
With a swift movement, it struck Gu Tong’s body.
But Gu Tong had some tricks up his sleeve; in the last moment, he shifted his body slightly, only losing an arm to the strike.
Then, he turned into a black mist and disappeared from the spot.
Of course, Su Yang was intentionally holding back.
Otherwise, with a single thought, he could have killed these three instantly— there was no need for such complications.
You have to lay a long line to catch big fish, right?
After easily dealing with the three, Su Yang looked around the void.
He found that there was no one around anymore.
“They ran quite fast…” he mused. “But is it useful?”
Su Yang casually sheathed his sword.
Then, he transformed into a rainbow of sword intent and disappeared on the spot.
Since they dared to target him, they should be prepared to be killed by him! In just two breaths, Su Yang caught up with the escaping ten individuals.
“Sword Domain!”
In an instant, a sword domain enveloped them, trapping the ten within. If they wanted to get out, they had to break through the barriers of the sword domain.
But when they tried to pass their celestial-grade weapons through, the sword intent instantly tore them to shreds.
In this situation, they didn’t dare to force their way through.
The ten of them halted, looking at Su Yang ahead.
“I wonder, Sword Immortal Su, what is your intention?” Ye Hongfei suppressed his trembling voice and spoke first.
At this point, they were only grateful that they hadn’t attacked Su Yang.
It wouldn’t be appropriate for Su Yang to kill them.
The other nine also looked at Su Yang, waiting for his next move.
“Hahaha… my friends, since you’ve come, how can I let you leave so easily?” “Do you think there’s no price to pay if I don’t take action?”
“If I had been defeated by those three guys today, or if the battle had been evenly matched, wouldn’t you wolves have swarmed in?”
“Do you think I would spare you? Don’t be naive. When you made this wrong decision, you were already opening the gates of the underworld.”
Su Yang’s words chilled the ten people to the bone, making their hairs stand on end.
“Sword Immortal Su, you can’t kill us. We are pillars of Great Xia…” someone panicked and spoke up.
Indeed, these people were all from powerful families within the imperial city. However, as soon as he finished speaking, a sword intent flew over, and his head changed residence.
“Pillars? Pillars my foot. You’re more like parasites.” Su Yang scoffed.
Facing Martial Saints, they might have had a chance to resist, but what was happening now?
Su Yang hadn’t even moved, and one person was already dead on their side?
Before the remaining nine could react, nine more sword intents appeared out of thin air, slashing across the sky and instantly killing them.
Su Yang flew over casually, checking the corpses of the ten individuals and collecting their storage rings and items.
He never engaged in battles where he was outmatched; overwhelming his opponents with his realm was the best strategy.
Like now, he could solve the situation in an instant. Fighting opponents of higher realms was just more trouble.
“I wonder who these fellows are. After killing so many Heavenly
Transformation Realm experts, I should probably inform Xia Xuankong and have him investigate and deal with their families accordingly.”
“Well… forget it, I’ll contact him first.’
Su Yang took out the Celestial Order: [Your Majesty, I’ve killed some Heavenly Transformation Realm cultivators here. Please send someone to handle it.]
Xia Xuankong, who was in the palace, was bewildered.
Su Yang killed some people?
Did he kill chickens or Heavenly Transformation Realm experts with such a casual tone?
Xia Xuankong didn’t understand, but he was deeply shocked. Xia Xuankong: [Alright, I’ll send someone. Please wait, Sword Immortal.]
After receiving Xia Xuankong’s reply, Su Yang waited in place.
At the same time, Gu Xi and Yi Tianba rushed over to Su Yang.
When they saw the pile of corpses on the ground, Gu Xi was fine, but he was somewhat dazed by the sight.
Yi Tianba was in a worse state. He hadn’t been stunned before, but he was now on his way to being stunned.
The bodies on the ground were not just anyone; they were all Heavenly Transformation Realm experts from the imperial city!
And they had arrived in less than a minute since Su Yang had contacted them?
Su Yang was currently categorizing the items in the ten storage rings.
But it was all quite messy, and he was getting annoyed by the chaos.
With a bemused expression, Gu Xi collected the items from Wang Chengfeng and Silver Moon Sage, then handed them to Su Yang.
“Sect Master, these are the items from those two.’
“Also, the one with the missing arm didn’t have a storage ring.”
“Very well.” Su Yang’s eyes lit up. “You’re here just in time. Take these ten storage rings and categorize the items inside. Sort them out and focus on spirit plants and herbs.”
“While you’re at it, bring the bodies of those two fellows over here. Someone will come to deal with them later.”
It was a good idea to let someone else handle the troublesome work.
“Understood.” Gu Xi nodded and got to work. This was the first time he had seen the belongings of Heavenly Transformation Realm cultivators treated with disdain.
Meanwhile, Su Yang’s mind was wandering. He pulled out his sword and idly swung it.
As for Yi Tianba… he was already stunned, and he couldn’t find words to express his shock.
After a while, a group of people on horseback arrived.
“Marshal of the Imperial Prohibition Army, Ma Guan, pays respects to the Sword Immortal of Great Xia.” Ma Guan arrived and greeted Su Yang respectfully.
Before he had even landed, Ma Guan had seen the severed heads of these people.
A total of twelve heads!
My, oh my, these were all top-notch figures in the imperial city.
Now they were all lying on the ground, their heads separated from their bodies.
Originally, Ma Guan was proud of his Heavenly Transformation Realm strength and didn’t think he needed to be too polite to Su Yang.
Now… well, he was properly keeping his head down and showing respect.
“Thank you for your respects. The bodies are here; you can handle them as you see fit. I’m leaving now.” Su Yang saw that someone had finally arrived, so he left directly.
“Please take care, Sword Immortal.” Ma Guan respectfully replied.
As for the “I won’t lower my head even though I’m in the Heavenly Transformation Realm” part…
Who said that?
It definitely wasn’t him.
On the way
After returning to Lingshan Province, Yi Tianba parted ways with Su Yang. He was from the capital city, and now that the situation in Tianfeng Prefecture was resolved, he had no reason to return there.
Su Yang, on the other hand, turned his attention to Gu Tong.
It had been a while since Gu Tong had fled. Su Yang wondered if he had returned to his old hideout.
Soon, Su Yang locked onto the position of the Eye of Tracking and saw through Gu Tong’s eyes.
At that moment, Gu Tong was flying rapidly within a mountain range.
After flying for a while, he finally reached his destination and entered it.
Inside, he saw nothing but members of an evil cult.
Each one of them carried a burden of sins on their heads..
