Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1417: Chapter 1416: Kneeling Down

In the terrified gazes of the crowd, the longswords by Su Yang’s side began to hum once again. It was as if missiles filled the sky, ready to fall at any moment.

People were truly frightened; facing death, no one could keep calm!

Finally, someone couldn’t hold back any longer and fell to the ground in a panic, tremblingly said: ”Master Su, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please spare me...”

With this person taking the lead, others then recalled Su Yang’s words from before, that their lives would be spared if they knelt.

At that moment, it was as if they had grasped a lifeline, and they knelt one after another begging for mercy.

In an instant, over a thousand people in the estate had knelt down. There were still some who wanted to hold out, but facing the trembling longsword in the air, they eventually couldn’t bear it and also knelt down one by one.

”Don’t kneel! Don’t kneel!” Li Tianhua shouted desperately, but no one below paid him any mind.

In the sky, Ancestor Li San’s face was deathly pale, knowing that once these people knelt, it would be very difficult for them to stand again. He gritted his teeth and roared: ”Su, even if these people from the Capital City have grievances with you, just kill them if you must, but why humiliate them like this? These are prominent figures with names and reputations, making them kneel like this is akin to making all the major families of Capital City kneel before you, what exactly is your intention? My Li Family may not be powerful enough, but we definitely cannot do such a disgraceful thing. Today, even at the cost of my life, I will absolutely not let the people of my Li Family kneel!”

After finishing his speech, Ancestor Li San charged down with a roar.

At this moment, someone from Qinghe Academy had already rushed up, engaging in battle with Ancestor Li San.

In the sky, the Terrestrial Immortals looked at each other, but in the end, not one followed him down.

The speech from Ancestor Li San just now was actually a challenge to provoke the Terrestrial Immortals in the sky to come down and help, and to incite those below to rise up and rebel.

But, he ultimately still didn’t understand the situation.

The Terrestrial Immortals in the sky were concerned about their own lives; otherwise, they would have taken action to kill Su Yang and fled overseas long ago.

As for the legend of Qinghe Academy, these people were all too aware. Hard-fought battles with Qinghe Academy would not give them any advantage. Thus, at this moment, they truly didn’t wish to clash with Qinghe Academy.

Furthermore, since those people on the ground had already knelt, the matter had become a foregone conclusion. Is there any meaning in fighting to the death now?

These people were different from the Li Family; this incident was led by Li Tianhua, he was the main instigator. So even if he truly knelt, Su Yang would not spare him, nor would he spare the Li Family.

But it was different for the others; for them, the matter would end once they knelt. In such a case, is it worth it to engage in a futilely deadly struggle?

Among so many people present, only Ancestor Li San charged up alone, enduring a bitter fight against someone from Qinghe Academy.

But soon, Ancestor Li San fell into a disadvantage.

Any of the teachers from Qinghe Academy could vie for a place in the Heavenly List. And the Dean, he was an extremely dangerous person, rumored to have lived for a thousand years.

Even though Ancestor Li San had cultivated for a hundred years, how could he possibly compare to these people?

Everyone could clearly see that it was just a matter of time before Ancestor Li San was defeated. Even if Qinghe Academy wanted to kill him, it would be a trivial matter. Ancestor Li San was completely on the defensive now.

In the manor, ninety percent of the people had already knelt down. Seeing that the Terrestrial Immortals did not intend to intervene from the sky, they knew there was no hope left, and not kneeling would truly mean death. Thus, they dared not wait any longer.

The only ones who remained standing were Li Tianhua’s trusted followers or those with a stronger sense of pride, unwilling to kneel and beg for mercy.

Su Yang quietly looked at these people, his gaze finally falling on Li Tianhua, and he said coldly: ”Since you do not wish to kneel, I won’t force you. Survive this single strike from me, and you may live. Fail to withstand it, and you’ll die!”

After Su Yang finished speaking, the thousands of longswords in the air suddenly shattered. Following that, those fragments rapidly condensed into over a hundred giant swords, with a momentum that was vast and powerful.

”Slam!” With a loud shout from Su Yang, the hundred-plus giant swords cleaved through the air, descending upon the people who were still standing.

Li Tianhua bore the brunt of it. Upon hearing Su Yang’s words, his heart was actually very pleased. He had long since achieved a breakthrough to the Venerable Realm. Although not a match for Su Yang, fending off this single strike was not a problem for him.

However, when the giant swords descended, Li Tianhua realized something was amiss.

After those longswords condensed into giant swords, their power had increased several-fold. Despite Li Tianhua’s strength, facing such a force capable of destroying everything, he still had no confidence at all!

Finally, the giant swords came crashing down. Li Tianhua gathered all his strength and resisted head-on, but ultimately he couldn’t stop the giant swords.

With a thunderous boom, Li Tianhua was cleaved to pieces by the giant swords, dying a tragic death on the spot!

The same fate befell the others as well. None of the hundred or so people could withstand Su Yang’s blow, all dying gruesomely on the spot.

Meanwhile, Su Yang in the sky was also at his limit, barely able to hold on. But still, he clenched his teeth and forced himself to stand there. At this moment, he couldn’t afford to show any sign of weakness; otherwise, these people would certainly not spare him. He needed to intimidate those below!

And those below were indeed frightened by Su Yang’s mighty attack.

The Art of Thousand Swords from before was scary enough, who could have imagined that Su Yang would be able to unleash such a heaven-defying strike? Remembering the aura of the giant swords, everyone felt despair; they couldn’t withstand this strike at all!

In fact, their worries were exaggerated.

That giant sword Su Yang used just now was actually a new sword technique he created by combining The Art of Thousand Swords with a heavenly execution move.

However, after unleashing the strike, Su Yang realized that it was merely flashy without substance.

In the process of reconstituting the shattered longswords, at least half of the power was lost, which was the main reason why Su Yang’s internal power was greatly diminished.

Such a sword move would generally serve to intimidate others. If faced with an absolute expert, Su Yang definitely wouldn’t carelessly use it because it was essentially meaningless. Instead, it would cause great depletion to himself, highly impractical.

Of course, this time the effect was achieved. Those below trembled with fear. When they looked at Su Yang again, their eyes were filled with dread and panic, and no one dared to show any more disobedience.

Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief gently, knowing that his goal for this time was finally reached. Or one could say, Black Widow’s goal was also ultimately achieved!
