Chapter 151: Sliced in Half with a Single Sword

"Who goes there?" A sharp, brilliant flash crossed the eagle cultivator's eyes as he let out a cold shout.

The heavy doors pushed open, and a young cultivator walked in.

He wore a cyan Dao robe and possessed an ordinary face!

Yet those eyes were pitch-black and brimming with spiritual light!

"Brother Su, you've finally arrived! This is a genuine eagle cultivator!" Murong Xunshou rejoiced.

The newcomer was none other than Su Yizhao!

Having received the transmission talisman, he had not dared to delay for a single moment, rushing straight in.

"Peak Eightfold Void Realm! Die!" Without wasting another word, the eagle cultivator moved in a flash, throwing a punch straight ahead!

Su Yizhao raised his fist to meet the attack!

*Boom!*

A fierce gale scattered in all directions, shattering the void itself!

Everyone in the grand hall was blown backward, sent tumbling in every direction by the shockwave!

A single figure was sent flying out through the main gates!

Caught entirely off guard by the sheer momentum, Su Yizhao was blasted backward by the punch.

The eagle cultivator bolted out through the doorway, letting out a harsh, mocking laugh: "Ke-ke! Nothing much to look at after all! Die!"

Demon cultivators specialized in physical refinement!

Their entire bodies were as hard and indestructible as void-grade treasures!

Although Su Yizhao's physical refinement had already reached the eighth realm, he still found himself at a disadvantage from that single exchange!

Seeing the eagle cultivator follow up with relentless speed, he took a deep breath.

Within his octagonal profound energy pool, fifty-seven nodes instantly erupted, spewing profound energy!

Faint golden light flickered across his right fist, while deep within his spiritual mansion, his massive soul avatar exerted force simultaneously!

Qi, body, and soul erupted all at once!

*Boom!*

Their fists collided again, and the entire grand hall collapsed with a deafening roar!

Two figures soared straight up into the high heavens!

The second exchange was a dead heat, neither gaining the upper hand!

"Screeech—!"

Naturally unwilling to accept a draw, the eagle cultivator let out a piercing screech as it unleashed its aura to the absolute limit, holding nothing back!

Su Yizhao let out a cold snort, fully activating the perfection-stage *Soaring Flight Technique*!

*Boom!*

*Bang, bang!*

*Boom, boom, boom!*

The sounds of intense combat echoed across the entire city!

Countless cultivators hurriedly released their spiritual awareness, sweeping it upward toward the high heavens.

"Who are those two? So immensely powerful!"

"To possess such terrifying strength above the Eightfold Void Realm?"

"When did Azure Dragon Prefecture ever produce such young and brilliant talents?"

A wave of astonished discussions erupted everywhere!

Cultivators throughout the city ran about to spread the news!

High up in the midair, intertwined figures moved so fast that it was impossible to tell which was real and which was an illusion!

Only the continuously shattering void and the rampaging shockwaves caused everyone below to tremble with dread!

Amidst it all, Su Yizhao actually felt an intoxicating thrill of excitement!

Speed and strength—they were evenly matched!

Eagles were renowned above all for their supreme speed!

Yet even when he unleashed his seventh-stage perfection-stage *Soaring Flight Technique* at full power, he could not gain any advantage.

"Impossible! How can his speed be this fast?!"

Shock and disbelief blazed in the eagle cultivator's eyes!

In terms of speed, it had never once lost to any human cultivator!

Yet before this young man, it could not gain the slightest upper hand!

Damn it all!

Was this fellow even human?!

*Boom! Boom...!*

In a split second, the two exchanged over a hundred blows.

The more they fought, the more excited Su Yizhao became!

What a magnificent sparring partner!

However!

He was a law enforcement disciple!

He did not need a prolonged sparring match, and this battle had already given him enough practice!

Suddenly, he pulled back, creating distance as he stood suspended in the air, gazing coldly across at the eagle cultivator.

Seeing him retreat, the eagle cultivator did not pursue him immediately.

Clearly, both of them wanted to end the battle swiftly!

*Swish, swish!*

A pair of chilling, razor-sharp claws suddenly sprouted from the eagle cultivator's hands!

The moment the claws emerged, the surrounding void was instantly shredded into pieces!

The eagle cultivator grinned hideously. "To think that humanity actually produced a character like you! It's fortunate I encountered you ahead of time!"

With a single thought from Su Yizhao, his void-grade flying sword instantly manifested!

He did not waste words in response!

He instantly circulated the *Mystic Heaven Sword Art*!

The black flying sword began to emit a deep, humming sound!

"Die!"

Separated by a distance of thirty feet, the eagle cultivator lashed out with both claws, tearing fiercely toward him!

*Hiss, hiss!*

A harsh, grating sound tore through the air as the void directly above Su Yizhao's forehead shattered instantly, the deadly claws lunging straight for his face!

Even before the claws arrived, the razor-sharp pressure had already pierced his skin!

At that very moment!

A streak of black sword light cleaved through the air!

*Clang!*

With a crisp, piercing sound, the lethal claws were instantly hacked aside!

The eagle cultivator's heart skipped a beat with sudden terror!

Those claws were its innate natural weapons!

Their toughness and sharpness vastly exceeded ordinary void-grade treasures!

Coupled with their terrifying speed, even ordinary Ninefold Void Realm cultivators found them difficult to block!

Yet this young man, who was only at the peak of the Eightfold Void Realm, had actually blocked them!

Before it could recover from its momentary daze, a profound sense of foreboding seized its heart!

The young man raised his right hand and pointed directly at it!

"Screeech—!"

Overwhelmed by a suffocating sense of crisis, the eagle cultivator shrieked in panic!

At that exact instant, a massive black sword light slashed down from the heavens!

*Mystic Heaven Sword Art*!

A single sword stroke to cleave the sky!

Wherever the sword light passed, the void was torn to shreds!

The shrill screech was cut abruptly short!

The eagle cultivator's Dao robe instantly disintegrated into dust!

Transforming into a giant eagle thirty feet in size, it brought its talons together in a desperate attempt to meet the descending sword light!

*Crack!*

*Slash!*

Sparks flew brilliantly as its razor-sharp talons were cleanly severed!

Countless feathers scattered and danced through the wind as fresh blood rained down from the sky!

The torn void slowly mended itself!

The howling gales gradually subsided!

Everyone stared in dumbfounded silence at the high heavens!

A gigantic eagle had been split neatly into two halves, its lifeless remains plummeting from the sky!

A lone cultivator in a cyan robe stood suspended in the air, gazing into the distance!

"Just you wait! The eagle clan will bathe Azure Dragon Prefecture in blood!" A voice echoed from the empty air!

Su Yizhao swept the area with his spiritual awareness, and his expression turned one of profound shock!

From the corpse of the giant eagle, a miniature gray eagle had flown out!

Resembling a wisp of smoke, it vanished toward the horizon ten miles away in the blink of an eye!

A soul escaping from its vessel?

He had grown careless!

Above the Eightfold Void Realm, the soul was capable of leaving the physical body to escape!

As long as it found a suitable host, it could plunge directly into the victim's spiritual mansion and seize possession of their body!

Without a moment of hesitation, Su Yizhao flashed forward in pursuit!

"Wait for me in Azure Dragon Prefecture!"

Qin Hongyi had been staring blankly at the sky, but snapped back to her senses at his words. Moving like a blur, she immediately gave chase as well!

Feng Manyin was clearly a beat too slow!

By the time she reacted, both figures had already vanished from sight!

She murmured softly to herself, "The sword of the brothel swordsman is still as sharp as ever."

Murong Xunshou smiled faintly. "Everyone, who was that person? Do any of you recognize him?"

Inside the grand hall, everyone was still stunned by the scene they had just witnessed!

Who on earth was that young man?

That was a terrifying, unfathomable demon cultivator!

Yet he had been sliced cleanly in half with a single sword stroke and killed on the spot!

Murong Yucheng said with a gloomy expression, "No matter who he is! Did you hear his very last words? 'Bathe Azure Dragon Prefecture in blood!'"

At those words, everyone shuddered involuntarily!

The eagle clan!

They were a powerful, dominant clan of demon cultivators dwelling deep within the forests!

To bathe Azure Dragon Prefecture in blood!

Who could possibly escape that fate?

Murong Xunshou felt a trace of fear in his heart as well, but he maintained a confident facade. "There's no need to worry. Since Brother Su has already intervened, nothing will go wrong!"

"Hmph! Just because you say nothing will go wrong, does that make it true?" Murong Yucheng sneered coldly!

Upon the main seat, the middle-aged cultivator asked, "Xunshou, what is the background of this Brother Su?"

Murong Xunshou chuckled softly. "Father, he is this generation's chief elite disciple of the Mystic Heaven Sect, and undisputed number one person in the entire continent!"

Chief elite disciple!

The number one person in the continent!

Shock bloomed across everyone's faces!

He was so young!

Though not particularly handsome, his bearing was extraordinary!

Especially those pitch-black eyes—they possessed an arresting, magnetic quality!

No wonder he was so formidable!

The shock in Murong Yucheng's eyes gradually twisted into jealousy.

He said sourly, "The number one person in the continent—do you really think he'll help you?"

"Ha!" Murong Xunshou burst out laughing. "He and I share a bond where we've bled for each other. What do you think?"

Upon the main seat, the middle-aged cultivator finally let out a long breath of relief!

A bond sealed in blood!

That was more than enough!

As long as this man remained here, he would block the first wave of demon beasts.

And if he did, the rest of the Mystic Heaven Sect cultivators would inevitably become involved to block everything else!

With a bright smile, he declared, "Brilliantly done! This time, our Murong family must step off the fence and onto solid ground! If we made a mistake before, we must correct it!"

Murong Xunshou nodded immediately!

Some mistakes could never be afforded!

But once made, one had to act decisively to rectify them!

Only... Brother Su!

Please don't venture too deep into the forest—it is truly perilous in there...!
