Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1452: Chapter 1451: Regret Too Late

Finally, Su Yang’s power was fully accumulated. He let out a loud roar to the heavens, his hands suddenly dropping down. Over three hundred longswords descended like a rain of blades from the sky, aimed directly at those below!

The faces of the members of the fifteen families turned to despair. Among them, how many could possibly resist this strike from Su Yang?

At this moment, their hearts were filled with regret. Why did they meddle in this matter in the first place? The Second Elder’s promise was indeed enticing, but now, with everyone dead, what worth does his promise hold?

Just as the longswords were about to strike these people, the Sky Sword Peak’s Peak Master suddenly roared, drew his blade, and swung it fiercely in a horizontal arc.

His long blade carved out a curtain of light in the air, forcefully shielding those beneath from the falling swords. By the looks of it, he intended to personally block them.

The members of the fifteen families, witnessing this turn of events, were overjoyed. This was nothing short of salvation from the brink of death!

Su Yang’s expression changed sharply. While he had prepared this move, more than ten of his subordinates had already died as a result. If this attack were blocked, would their deaths have been in vain?

However, the Sky Sword Peak’s Peak Master was a powerful Terrestrial Immortal, someone Su Yang could never hope to defeat.

Just as the longswords were about to collide with the curtain of light formed by the blade, a beam of Qing Guang suddenly descended from the sky, instantly shattering the curtain.

The members of the fifteen families barely had time to exclaim in shock before over three hundred swords rained down upon them.

A massacre ensued. Save for a handful of individuals who managed to withstand Su Yang’s strike, the majority of the fifteen families’ members were immediately killed, leaving no suspense for survival. Those who didn’t die were gravely injured, rendered completely incapable of further combat!

On the North Mountain Summit, over a hundred corpses now lay strewn across the ground.

The members of the Four Great Sects were incensed, particularly the Sky Sword Peak’s Peak Master, who raised his head and roared: ”Who dares interfere in my matters? Reveal yourself!”

”Why must the Peak Master get so agitated?” A light and drifting voice replied as members of Qinghe Academy descended from the sky, led by their Headmaster, who swiftly arrived upon the North Mountain Summit.

Seeing this group, the Sky Sword Peak’s Peak Master was briefly stunned, his brow furrowing deeply as he said in a low tone: ”Was it you who acted just now?”

”Indeed,” the Headmaster replied calmly.

The Peak Master’s face turned icy. He roared, ”Qinghe Academy dares to meddle in my Sky Sword Peak’s affairs?”

”Not at all,” the Headmaster replied softly. ”However, Su Yang is a member of Qinghe Academy. His affairs are mine as well. Moreover, Peak Master, as a Terrestrial Immortal, to attack someone in the Fusion Realm—this fundamentally violates the rules!”

The Peak Master roared furiously, ”And who are you to decide whether the rules are followed?”

”Of course, it is not my place to decide,” the Headmaster said lightly. ”But there are those above who are watching.”

The Sky Sword Peak’s Peak Master was about to unleash a string of curses, but he suddenly noticed three golden-armored men standing far in the sky, staring at the scene below intently. His words were swallowed instantaneously.

Others nearby also noticed the three Law Enforcers high above, their brows furrowing in response.

”These people sure have impeccable timing!” The Lingxiao Pavilion Elder said in a low voice. ”We haven’t even acted, and yet they are here already. What does this mean?”

The Second Elder’s expression darkened as he spoke coldly, ”It was the same last night. We barely did anything, and those people showed up. Hmph! These Law Enforcers meddle far too much. They say Terrestrial Immortals cannot kill mortals, but we weren’t even taking action—just conversing. Yet they intervened. What is the point of this?”

”The rules of heaven and earth truly need to change!” Ki Yongchuan said solemnly. ”They keep saying Terrestrial Immortals cannot kill mortals, but look at how these mortals behave! They treat us with utter contempt and insult, as if they are masters and we are their servants. After struggling so hard to reach the Land Fairy Realm, we still have to act courteously toward these mortals. What kind of rule is this?”

Others nearby nodded in agreement; their sentiments aligned closely with Ki Yongchuan’s. They believed themselves high and mighty as Terrestrial Immortals—why should they have to humble themselves to mortals?

While this group debated, Su Yang had already landed from the sky. That one strike had consumed thirty percent of his power, requiring him to ingest several elixirs to restore his strength.

At this point, the fifteen families were effectively done for. The survivors were wailing miserably, most deeply regretting their decision to meddle in this matter. This was simply courting death!

The head of one family, who had barely survived, looked at the dead and injured members of his clan and froze in place. After a long moment, he finally regained his senses, turned, and knelt sharply before the Second Elder, his voice trembling: ”Second Elder, please... please save them... I beg you to save them...”

The Second Elder didn’t even glance at the family head, instead fixing his cold gaze on the members of Qinghe Academy in the sky.

Seeing that the Second Elder was ignoring him, the family head grew more frantic, pleading desperately: ”Second Elder, please save them! I know the Medicine Sect can save them. I beg you—please save them!”

Su Yang had mostly recovered at this point and said loudly, ”Are you truly stupid or just pretending? Begging him to save lives? On what grounds would he save you? He was using you from the very beginning, and now that your people are dead, why should he act for your sake? Your lives aren’t worth the Medicine Sect’s elixirs!”

The family head was stunned, looking between Su Yang and the Second Elder. Trembling, he said, ”No, no, no, Su Yang... you’re just trying to stir trouble! Second Elder, say something—please say something! Su Yang is lying to me...”

The Second Elder didn’t even bother to look at him, his cold gaze fixed solely on the Headmaster. In a low voice, he said, ”Tonight’s matter is between the Four Great Sects and Su Yang. Qinghe Academy, do you intend to keep interfering?”

”As I’ve already stated, Su Yang is a member of Qinghe Academy. His affairs are ours as well,” the Headmaster said gently.

Ki Yongchuan shouted, ”So you’re saying that Su Yang killing members of the Medicine Sect is now also the responsibility of Qinghe Academy?”

”Do you have evidence proving that he killed members of the Medicine Sect?” the Headmaster countered.

”We have eyewitness accounts!” Ki Yongchuan paused briefly and then shouted, ”Don’t try to twist things with useless rhetoric. Do you have evidence proving he didn’t kill them?”

The Headmaster chuckled lightly. ”Whether or not there’s evidence, this matter concerns only us and the Medicine Sect. It has nothing to do with the Lingxiao Pavilion, Sky Sword Peak, or even Horizon’s End.”

”Everything in this world is governed by reason,” the Lingxiao Pavilion Elder declared. ”Su Yang has committed atrocities far beyond acceptable limits. As members of the Ten Great Sects, how can we stand idly by?”
