CHAPTER 332
The Void-Piercing White Blade
============================================================
Ye Qinghan was dumbfounded upon hearing the name. Was the master serious?
A low-grade earth-tier teleportation mirror was already absurd enough. This Super Invincible Whirling Rainbow Lamp? That’s absurdity taking the fucking stage—absurdity run amok!
"Hmm, then Shi Yao should go look for it. Does Master remember where it was placed?"
Su Cheng replied without hesitation: "I recall placing it by the bedside. If it's not there, search thoroughly—it should be somewhere in my quarters."
"Master, are you getting forgetful in your old age~"
Li Shiyu teased playfully, adopting a confident air as if to say, "Leave it all to me." She patted her ample chest and set off immediately.
Su Cheng promptly added, "Qinghan, hasn't it been ages since we collected the sect subsidy from Lingxian Hall? I've been meaning to take care of that. Go fetch it for me at once."
Ye Qinghan frowned slightly. Great. So he had no intention of letting her participate in the battle at all?
"Master, Qinghan has already retrieved the sect subsidy."
Did she need the money? As long as Master had enough to spend, that was all that mattered~
Who knows if she'd actually go?
"Er… I still have some matters requiring your attention…"
Cheng Liang and Shangguan Rou were both on edge. What did this mean?
Could it be that there really is some danger?
But truthfully, Su Cheng couldn't explain it clearly either. She simply didn't want her disciples to face danger. She wasn't even certain if there truly was some great terror originating from another dungeon world…
"Master, Qinghan just returned, didn't she?"
At this point, Su Cheng understood. This guy had clearly figured it out and simply didn't want to go.
His gaze shifted to Dongfang Jue, who also made his stance clear.
"Master, don't look at me…"
Before he could finish, a black blade shot toward them in an instant!
Its immense energy pierced the mist, slicing through the sky to reach Su Cheng in an instant.
Though black in color, its name was White Blade.
By the time Su Cheng realized it, it was already too late. At this distance, there was simply no time to dodge.
It was too fast—no one could block this strike.
The White Blade was all about speed. Its flight was so swift that only a flash of blade light could be seen, hence its name.
Though shaped like a blade, it was wielded like a spear—fired like a projectile.
The sound of the blade piercing flesh echoed through the air. Su Cheng instinctively looked down at his body, finding not a single scratch.
But there was no time for relief. The sound of the strike had already reached him.
Right beside him.
This time, Ye Qinghan's Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt technique proved ineffective.
Instead, the low-grade Earth-tier Instant Movement Mirror had activated.
The jet-black blade sliced through Ye Qinghan's abdomen as easily as cutting through tofu, so swiftly that Ye Qinghan didn't even register the pain.
The sensation felt like being shoved, his legs suddenly weak and unsteady.
He felt his upper body grow heavy, tumbling backward uncontrollably. Unfortunately, the white blades weren't limited to just one.
Fortunately, the other two blades did not target Su Cheng or Ye Qinghan. Instead, they plunged straight into the ground.
The three blades formed a triangular formation, with Ye Qinghan at one corner. As he cried out in pain,
Three streaks of white light instantly trapped Su Cheng within the formation. Only then did Su Cheng realize this was an array, designed to confine him.
Yet that single, delicate cry seemed to awaken Su Cheng's long-dormant fighting instincts. In an instant, his gaze transformed.
Unwilling to see her suffer, Su Cheng braced against the white light and drew the blade for her.
[Ding~ 834,000 system points deducted. Time remaining: 2:59:58]
Su Cheng caught his beloved First Disciple as she collapsed, saying nothing, merely gazing at her.
"Master… Qinghan… has… made another mistake…"
Her voice wasn't weak—the taste of blood had risen to her throat, stripping away her usual Daji-like demeanor.
"Mhm. Wait for your punishment."
As he spoke, Su Cheng pressed several pills into Ye Qinghan's crimson lips before gently setting her down on the ground.
"Wait here for your master. I'll be back shortly."
As Su Cheng's expression abruptly darkened, the sky grew overcast. The authority descended upon the world in an instant.
The colossal sword, symbolizing the authority to destroy worlds, manifested once more. Compared to its appearance at the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, its oppressive aura was even more intense.
The Faceless One seemed to snap awake, leaping up abruptly. Seizing the great sword, it swung it toward the barrier protecting Ye Qinghan and Su Cheng.
However, the anticipated scene of Su Cheng and Ye Qinghan falling beneath the Faceless One's blade did not materialize.
"Third Young Miss, Master Su can handle this."
Yu Lan stopped Dongfang Jue, who was about to rush to help, and spoke reassuringly.
No one had ever seen Su Cheng in such a state before.
The apocalyptic sword light swept directly across the Faceless One, slicing through the sky. With a single strike, Su Cheng instantly defeated the Faceless One.
His pupils glowed gold as celestial arts swirled through his hands, sending treasure after treasure soaring into the sky.
[Your Majesty, Su Cheng has reclaimed his authority.]
【This is impossible.】
【This subordinate witnessed it personally. The authority to destroy the world is in Su Cheng's hands.】
【Are you out of your mind? That's clearly a bluff! Xiao Ai is right across from me! Her sword just now nearly cut all three of us down!】
The few lurking in the woods exchanged glances…
Is Su Cheng really just bluffing?
Impossible!
That's undoubtedly the power to destroy the world!
But could His Majesty be lying?
That can't be either!
Two powers that can destroy the world?
That's absolutely impossible too!
They chose to trust the King's judgment, and several men clad in black armor sprang into action.
【He seems quite preoccupied with that woman. We can target her—encircle the point and intercept reinforcements.】
【Agreed. I'll handle distracting the outer combat units.】
【I require thirty seconds to reach the target location.】
【Visual coverage synchronizing. Be mindful of shielding against psychic assault methods.】
【Copy. I'm closing in on the short woman. I plan to take her first.】
Yes, that's correct. The short woman is none other than Yulan.
They weren't certain if Su Cheng possessed combat capabilities against divine beings, so they could only test the waters first. By observing Su Cheng's mobility and response tactics, they could assess her combat proficiency and adjust the operation plan accordingly at any moment.
This was a fully operational thirteen-member squad, characterized by seamless coordination and highly efficient tactics.
Each member had a clear role and executed their part flawlessly—skills honed through countless battles in mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Yet even so, facing a former Godslayer King demanded utmost caution.
This was both professional experience and professional attitude.
A bullet fired from a child's gun is just as deadly as one fired by an adult. This was walking the razor's edge—there was no room for carelessness.
This time, however, Su Cheng's power far exceeded their expectations.
The shattering white blade fired from the shadows toward Yulan was intercepted by Su Cheng, who appeared out of nowhere. With a single stroke, he severed it cleanly.
With a single stroke, the sword cleaved through the forest. In an instant, the entire mountain was severed, its sword energy stretching for a hundred miles, instantly reshaping the landscape.
Everyone stared in stunned silence at the sword strike, utterly dumbfounded.
They all knew Su Cheng was formidable—his earlier timidity had been an act.
But was he being a bit too much?
"Upon seeing me, you don't even intend to come out and pay your respects? That alone is a capital offense, you understand?"
