Chapter 1164: Fishing
It wasnt long ago that they learned that Su Xuanjun was the reincarnation of the Temple Master, but they had absolutely no idea how strong the Temple Master was.
Now, they were witnessing his strength with their own eyes.
His sword suppressed the starry skies, utterly invincible!
How terrifying were World Kings?
They were strong enough to make the Wilds give into despair. Even its peak experts felt helpless and insignificant before them.
Yet now, a full sixteen World Kings from the stars beyond had been massacred! This couldnt have been any more astonishing!
So, this was Old Monster Sus killer move the Skythorn Poison Emperor couldnt help but murmur.
In the grand battle outside the Grotto of Abstruse Force, he watched as Su Yi wielded that wooden sword, Wandering Spirit. The Temple Masters unparalleled majesty was on display then, too.
But that was nowhere near as astonishing as what they were seeing here today!
No wonder he insisted on coming to this duel despite knowing full well that his opponents were World Kings. Theres no doubt about it; hes never been at all concerned about these mighty foes. The Border Mountain Yao Ancestor sighed.
He won? Even Ancestor Peng couldnt help but feel as if he were dreaming.
Due to the excessive distance, the overwhelming majority of the onlookers cultivations werent sufficient for them to watch the battle unfolding in outer space.
But when they saw the old-timers delight and heard their sighs, the crowd was stunned.
His Excellency Su won!?
Its not over yet, Buddhist Master Inkstone Heart said softly.
One sentence, and the other old-timers were stunned. They suddenly looked up once more.
Indeed, Su Yi hadnt returned. He was still standing there amongst the stars, as if he were waiting for something!
Youre still not coming out even now? Su Yi fiddled with the Tiny Heart of the Cosmos and gazed leisurely into the depths of outer space.
His voice wasnt loud, but he seemed certain that the people hiding in the darkness could hear him.
Hah? Still not coming out? Let me guess, then. The Tailor, that old bastard, wont be coming, Su Yi continued talking, entirely unperturbed. My Sword of the Human Realm is still suppressing the Fisherman. The coward of the Nine Heavens Pavilion has drawn a circle around himself, and theres a debt he cannot let go of. Im afraid hell never leave the Heavenly Prayer Star Realm in his life.
The old charlatan of the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect wont dare take action either. If he does, the Antique Dealer will be the first to punish him.
As for the Painter? That pathetic coward. Su Yis eyes shone with disdain. You could give him all the courage in the world, and he still wouldnt dare to face me!
Here, Su Yi seemed to realize something. He said softly, It seems that those old-timers who were once just barely worthy of my noticeno longer dare to face me.
It seemed as if he were talking to himself, but he clearly wanted those hiding in the darkness to hear him.
Alas, none of them responded.
Boring. Su Yi shook his head, then turned to leave.
Please wait, Temple Master.
A raspy, aged voice emanated from the depths of outer space.
Su Yi disregarded it and shot toward the Wilds below.
Boom!
Off to the side, an arc of golden light cleaved a startling rift through the void.
Enough time to brew a cup of tea, indeed. It seems you really werent lying to us, Your Excellency the Temple Master. Im afraid the power of your Dao Imprint really will run out soon!
Thats surely the case. Otherwise, why didnt he dare to block that attack head-on?
Several figures suddenly appeared in the distance, seemingly out of nowhere.
Su Yi whipped around.
These new arrivals came to an abrupt halt; they were obviously afraid.
Upon closer inspection, there were four of them, three men and one woman.
Heavenly Libationer Ming Yong of the Nine Heavens Pavilion greets you, Your Excellency Temple Master. One of them, a white-haired old man in Daoist robes, inclined his head in greeting. He carried a jade ruler, and he was graceful and poised.
But when he faced the distant Su Yi, there was a nigh indiscernible trace of dread in his expression, and he was completely focused.
The real Temple Master hasnt existed for a long time. Why call this person Your Excellency? a tall, thin man in black robes said coldly.
His name was Yang Qi, and he was a World King powerhouse of the Studio of the Heart. He carried a paintbrush.
Indeed, in this lifetime, he calls himself Su Yi, and hes barely more than twenty. He isnt even worth becoming my grand-apprentice, a youthful-looking man in purple said leisurely.
A sheathed saber hung from his waist, and his back was perfectly straight. His name was Zhai Jiuxiao, and he hailed from the Church of the River of Stars.
Such hurtful words are beneath you. Theyll only make that little fellow look down on you. A fair-skinned mature beauty in a green dress pressed her lips into a smile. A jade-like spirit serpent was wrapped around her arm, and she had a soft, feminine charm.
She was from the Primordial Unity Daoist Sect. Her name was He Mingliu.
Of these four, even the weakest was in the Oneness Realm.
And the strongest, Heavenly Libationer Ming Yong of the Nine Heavens Pavilion, was in the Cosmic Enlightenment Realm!
Their statuses were far beyond Xue Zining and the sixteen World Kings Su Yi had killed earlier.
However, they seemed extremely fearful. They stood off in the distance, not daring to draw near.
On the surface, they laughed and chatted with perfect composure, but in truth, all of them were thoroughly on guard, and theyd long since started circulating the full extent of their cultivation bases.
If you want to chat, please, go right ahead. Forgive me for not joining you. Su Yi smiled, turned, and left.
How could he fail to realize that these four old-timers were deliberately stalling for time?
Ming Yong, Yang Qi, Zhai Jiuxiao, and He Mingliu looked at each other. A moment later, they seemed to reach a conclusion, and all four attacked at once.
Boom!
Ming Yong swung his jade ruler. The calamitous, gray power of the Laws surged forth, condensing into a spear that shot forth.
Yang Qi activated his paintbrush, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of lightning bolts exploded into being, like a surging sea of electricity intent on enveloping this entire stretch of stars.
Meanwhile, Zhai Jiuxiao drew his saber and swung it furiously. It was a simple slash, yet it contained enough force to split both heaven and earth.
And He Mingliu murmured Daoist invocations. The spirit serpent wrapped around her arm suddenly leaped and transformed into azure divine chains that swept through the void like a whip.
Boom!
The starry skies were in upheaval. Everything around them shook.
The chaos was visible even to the naked eye. Several meteorites exploded in the distance, and a terrifying atmosphere enveloped the entire stretch of stars.
These were four peak World Kings from top factions of the starry skies, and they used the strongest methods at their disposal as soon as the battle began. None of them held back at all.
No one knew better than them just how terrifying of an existence the Temple Master was. No matter how cautious they were, no matter how seriously they took him, it would never be excessive!
Theyd been waiting patiently all this time for the Temple Masters remnant power to dissipate.
Meanwhile, back on the Sea of Falling Stars, Ancestor Peng and the others hearts filled with terror. Chills coursed through them. It was as if theyd been plunged into an icy abyss.
They suddenly realized that the true climax of this battle had only just begun!
The hundred-plus Imperial Apex Emperors, over a dozen World King Dao Clones, and even the true World Kings hed just cut down amongst the stars none of them were the true stars of this battle!
The true danger came from those four terrifying experts, each a terrifying sovereign of the starry skies!
Who wouldnt have been surprised?
The curtains fell on one battle, only for another to begin. It was enough to make one give in to despair.
Meanwhile, amongst the stars.
Boom!
Destructive power ran rampant, lightning surged, and saber qi arced through the air.
Su Yi had just started to walk away, facing away from all of this. He silently smiled.
Then
He disappeared into thin air.
Bang!
The area hed stood just moments prior collapsed. The starry void exploded and split into pieces. The resulting terrifying flood of destructive power even swept toward the Wilds, only for the Laws of the Dark and Gold Star Realm to block it!
The scene was so startling that the onlookers souls practically left their bodies.
Ming Yong, Yang Qi, He Mingliu, and Zhai Jiuxiao\'s hearts clenched. Their expressions shifted dramatically, and their figures blurred as they all shot in different directions.
Youre too late! The moment you revealed yourselves, you were doomed! Carefree, unrestrained laughter rang out.
Countless streaks of sword qi surged forth alongside this voice, like weeds springing up after the rain. They were densely packed, and they covered everything in all directions. As far as the eye could see, they saw nothing but sword qi as radiant as the sun. It blotted out this entire stretch of space completely.
Clang clang clang!
The humming of swords was like the beating of a war drum, rumbling without end. Austere, forceful murderous intent swept forth like an avalanche, spreading throughout the entire stretch of stars.
Streaks of sword qi were as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges River. There was no end to them!
Dammit, we fell for it! Ming Yong roared in fury and waved his jade ruler to defend himself.
But a moment later, a dense, boundless swath of sword qi slammed into him, sending him staggering back. Bloody gashes tore open all over his body, and his hair hung loose. He cut an extremely sorry figure.
Meanwhile, Yang Qi, Zhai Jiuxiao, and He Mingliu each suffered a similarly terrifying onslaught.
The dense sword qi seemed endless and cyclical. It enveloped the entire area, attacking them relentlessly.
They felt as if theyd fallen into a kingdom of swords. Wherever they looked, they saw sword qi as dazzlingly radiant as the sun.
Before long, they were injured too!
Even the lofty Temple Master has resorted to tricks and deception. Truly shameless! Zhai Jiuxiao roared in fury.
How could he fail to understand? The Temple Master said his strength would last just long enough to brew a cup of tea, but that was a bald-faced lie!
He was obviously just fishing, using his weakness as bait to lure the four of them out of the darkness!
Why did he do this? It was obvious that hed been fishing. He was trying to lure these four out into the open!
Didnt you just use all those small fry to lure me out? You\'re just pots calling the kettle black, laughed Su Yi.
He suddenly appeared within this world of boundless sword qi. With each casual step forward, countless streaks of sword qi swarmed around him, like a multi-layered tide traveling alongside him. It was an extraordinary sight.
He was like a sovereign of the sword, with ten thousand swords serving as his retainers!
Quick, we have to break out!! Ming Yong bellowed, then unleashed his trump cards, fighting with his life on the line.
But there was no need for this warning. The other three sensed that the situation didnt bode well, and all of them drew their own killer weapons and fought with all their might.
Boom!
Endless sword qi burst forth, shattering each and every one of their attacks and suppressing them at every turn. They couldnt even dodge.
That sword qi was simply everywhere, its slashes overlapping endlessly as it descended upon them.
No matter how hard they tried to dodge, they were in for a terrifying impact!
Seth\'s Thoughts
We haven\'t met the Antique Dealer yet. The title first came up in chapter 1009.
And why would the Antique Dealer, one of your closest friends, proclaim that youd never return?
(said to the Temple Master)
