Chapter 241: Master Su
============================================================
Initiating the fight first was a tactical masterstroke. Back in the day, Su Cheng rarely had such opportunities.
Therefore, Su Cheng cherished such moments deeply.
The Six Paths Annihilation instantly unfolded. A luminous array, glowing like neon lights, outlined the formation and spread out beneath his feet in an instant!
Before Su Cheng could even consider who the second target might be, the system had already deducted the payment, and the team fight was fully engaged.
Enemy damage dealers poured in relentlessly as their formations closed in.
There was no retreat, no time for thought. Divine abilities and flying swords arrived almost simultaneously with the payment confirmation prompt.
Hesitation would only cost him the moment.
Who was the second one?
Whoever I catch, that's who it is!
His pupils flashed gold. Su Cheng suddenly snatched an unknown little punk out of thin air, slapped him hard, and slammed him to the ground!
He slammed the kid to the ground!
His great sword clanged against his waist as he spun to dodge the lightning spell, sweeping it effortlessly across the little punk's body!
Before Su Cheng could inspect the body, another giant hammer crashed down from the sky!
Su Cheng executed a mid-air side kick, redirecting the warhammer's trajectory while simultaneously summoning the Galaxy Ruler!
Spinning through the air like a whirlwind, he weaved through the purple lightning. The Galaxy Ruler, now as sharp as a blade, swept out with a flash of light piercing the heavens. It forced back the elders while shattering three mountains in one strike!
As the Galaxy Ruler retracted, the Demon-Sealing Stele was summoned. Instantly, the elders' faces darkened!
Su Cheng, merely an ordinary cultivator at the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment, naturally couldn't compare to Ye Qinghan's former ninth layer of Qi Cultivation. Remember, Ye Qinghan's Qi Cultivation was powerful enough to shatter a Nascent Soul!
Though this Demon-Sealing Stele couldn't match the one Qiao Yun had witnessed before, it was still a force to be reckoned with!
The elders joined forces to resist while simultaneously alerting the sect to activate its protective formation!
But Su Cheng wasn't sitting idle!
While you resist, Su Cheng will kill anyone he sees!
To gauge Lingxian Hall's strength solely by cultivation levels? That's sheer foolishness!
Every registered member of the Lingxian Hall possessed strength far surpassing their cultivation levels!
But Su Cheng had no intention of letting these elders off so easily. After kicking an unknown youngster to death with a single blow, he then crushed a female cultivator with two sharp hammer strikes.
As Su Cheng crushed another jade slip, the sword formation expanded once more in an instant.
"Ling Frost Sword Array."
No thunderous battle cry, no all-out strike—Su Cheng neither desired nor felt the need for such displays.
He'd been invincible for far too long; the fervor had faded.
"Breaking Army Style, Frostshatter."
Even the strength of those few elders, back in their prime, wouldn't have made them anything more than foot soldiers. Even geniuses would have had to kneel outside their doors, needing appointments just to see them.
Frankly, this was the first time Su Cheng unleashed such divine might against enemies. It was useless against immortals and unnecessary against trash.
Against these elders, however, it was just right~
The sword qi swept through in an instant, claiming three more elders. Including Lu Cheng, the Heavenly Dao Pavilion had now lost five elders.
Su Cheng watched from afar as the elders of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion fought desperately to resist. The Demon-Sealing Stele was ultimately blocked, its trajectory slightly altered, sparing the main peak of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion from major destruction.
And that was enough. Aside from the Grand Elder, only the Fourth Elder remained.
Their survival wasn't due to strength, but sheer luck.
Just as Su Cheng prepared to finish off the last two minor Karami, the person he had been waiting for so long arrived.
He arrived sword in hand.
Cheng Liang wore a gray brocade robe today, looking exceptionally dashing. With a three-foot-long jade sword in hand, he exuded an ethereal, otherworldly aura—truly the appearance of an immortal as described by the common folk.
Su Cheng thought so too.
Compared to Cheng Liang, Su Cheng truly didn't look like the head of a sect. If someone said he was just a lowly errand boy, no one would bat an eye.
"Su Cheng, you've gone too far, haven't you?"
Su Cheng tilted his head, amused by the question!
He shook his head helplessly, and in that instant, his divine power erupted!
It must be said, as expected of a major sect—there were quite a few people!
But Su Cheng didn't care!
He came here to declare to the world and Cheng Liang: From this moment on, the tables have turned!
"Master Su! Rou'er begs you, spare my master! There's been a misunderstanding!"
The voice from within the Fallen Immortal Ruler couldn't be heard outside, but Shangguan Rou could clearly hear the sounds from beyond.
Only now did she truly grasp the meaning behind the old fox's words that day.
Cheng Liang's figure plummeted from the sky, the massive blade cleaving his shoulder. Had it been an ordinary man, his arm would likely have been severed.
Yet Cheng Liang had somehow managed to deflect this powerful, devastating blow as much as possible!
It must be said, he possessed some skill, but even compared to those two immortals, he fell far short!
Not to mention Su Cheng!
Su Cheng now possessed abundant system points and equally numerous ambitions. His first priority was to avenge Shi Yao!
Even if he couldn't kill Cheng Liang, Su Cheng wouldn't let him off easy!
Truth be told, Cheng Liang had recognized Su Cheng's formidable strength. Yet he never imagined that even now, having advanced to the Fusion Stage since their encounter in the Eastern Domain Secret Realm, he would still be utterly powerless to retaliate!
In just a single instant, the Grand Elder had been gravely wounded!
Hundreds of disciples couldn't even get close to Su Cheng, let alone injure him!
Slamming him hard onto the ground, Su Cheng swung his great sword with all his might, ready to finish off Cheng Liang!
Not dead? Well, let's see about that!
Yet it seemed as if fate had already been decided. As the punishing flames reignited, Su Cheng was clearly not the only one eager to test his luck!
That slender figure—that ordinary girl—shattered the spatial suppression and intercepted the blade in a way Su Cheng never anticipated.
Facing the authority of punishment, even the priceless system-forged blade snapped clean in two.
Severing all things in this world was never a mere jest.
The fiery silhouette was just as she remembered. If Li Shiyao bore the shadow of an old friend, so did Shangguan Rou.
"Master Su, this truly is a misunderstanding!"
[System points deducted…]
"Zero Two."
In an instant, the heavens darkened as the ink-black apocalyptic demon sword reappeared.
Even if it was merely a replica of the authority, facing an immature Shangguan Rou, Su Cheng felt it would suffice.
In the blink of an eye, Su Cheng's sword slashed toward Shangguan Rou from behind—a speed beyond her comprehension!
The mere sword energy caused surrounding rocks and soil to shatter, trees to be uprooted, and violent winds to rage—as if the world were ending!
"Tell me! What did Shiyao do to defy the Way of Heaven?"
Even though Shangguan Rou had long suspected Su Cheng's intentions, she now thought to herself, "So it was true after all!"
"Master Su, it's not what you think! This matter wasn't instigated by the Way of Heaven Pavilion—there are other reasons involved!"
Su Cheng swung his sword. Truthfully, she hadn't expected Shangguan Rou to dare block it head-on!
The moment their blades touched, Shangguan Rou was sent flying backward!
But what could Shangguan Rou do?
That strike had been aimed at Cheng Liang. She couldn't—and wouldn't—stand by and watch!
The good news: she was still alive.
The bad news was, she was merely alive…
The flames on the blade slowly died down, the Wind-Chanting Blade now resembling a red-hot steel blank. She sat amidst the ruins, watching Su Cheng step by step approach Cheng Liang.
"Master Su, I beg you, spare my master! I beg you!"
Zero Two stood poised at Cheng Liang's throat. He didn't even need to exert force—if Su Cheng simply released his grip, the massive sword would descend slowly, and Cheng Liang would most likely die!
"You're begging me?"
