The Su Family Patriarch still spoke, "So what if it is!"
Shi Teng gathered some strength, and with a sudden burst of power, the three Celestial Grottoes around him erupted, instantly breaking free from the Su Family Patriarch's restraints.
"By what right? Just because of your three Celestial Grottoes?"
"Come, fight!"
His eyes shot out a fierce light, and the Heavenly Saint Split Abyss Halberd in his hand pointed directly at the Su Family Patriarch.
"Overestimating your abilities!"
The Su Family Patriarch merely shook his eyes, and Shi Teng was immediately sent flying, slamming heavily into the ground.
The gap between the Celestial Grotto Realm and the Formation Array Realm was simply an insurmountable chasm.
Shi Teng's eyes widened. He immediately crushed the Formation Array Realm expert summoning card in his inventory.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for crushing the Formation Array Realm expert summoning card!
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Formation Array Realm peak expert: Sword Saint, usable for one incense stick of time!
"Your sword, is my sword!"
A deep, ancient aura emanated from the void. The sky was filled with sword intent, blanketing the earth and causing fear to well up in everyone's hearts.
"Is the Formation Array Realm that strong?"
As the words left his mouth, an unremarkable longsword slashed towards the Su Family Patriarch.
The entire scene immediately intensified.
The strong individuals secretly observing were dumbfounded. They hadn't expected this young man to have the backing of a Formation Array Realm peak expert.
No wonder he was so arrogant.
The Willow God was even more puzzled, wondering when this young man had befriended a Formation Array Realm peak expert.
But then she reconsidered. He had even managed to trick a Suanni, an ancient mythical beast, into guarding the village.
It seemed there was nothing he couldn't do.
Feeling the overwhelming sword intent, Su Nantian instantly panicked.
Although he was also in the Formation Array Realm, he was only at the initial stage. The expert breaking through the void was at least a Formation Array Realm peak.
With a single sword, the void shattered, and a person, along with their sword, descended from the sky.
Those who cultivate the sword are always ruthless and say little. When faced with injustice, a single sword is enough to resolve it.
The Sword Saint didn't say more, and with a single sword, shattered the Su Family Patriarch's spirit body.
Shi Teng revealed a look of joy on his face. Sword cultivators were indeed incredibly cool.
I'll have to learn swordsmanship properly when I get the chance, at least for showing off.
He fought across three thousand miles, a single sword once equal to a million soldiers.
Where can I find a sword that leans on the heavens, and cross the sea to slay the great whale?
The Su Family Patriarch's expression changed drastically, his face filled with terror, no longer possessing the arrogant posture he had just now.
He pleaded, "Strong one, please stop! We can discuss anything!"
The Sword Saint completely ignored Su Nantian, advancing step by step with his sword.
Seeing that diplomacy was impossible, Su Nantian had no choice but to grit his teeth and launch an attack.
A divine demon fist slammed towards the Sword Saint.
The Sword Saint raised his sword and with a single strike, the massive divine demon fist was instantly annihilated.
"So strong!"
Su Nantian waved his right hand, and a Soul-Eradicating Needle once again pierced towards the Sword Saint.
This Soul-Eradicating Needle was a poisonous needle forged from a unique material from the Void God Realm, containing the power of order, capable of killing not only the person but also destroying the true form.
Shi Teng's expression slightly changed, and he shouted, "Be careful!"
The Sword Saint didn't even bat an eyelid. With a single sword strike, he cleaved the tiny Soul-Eradicating Needle in two.
Su Nantian was dumbfounded.
His heart was filled with resentment. It was all because of this unfilial son. Why provoke such a powerful individual?
Someone who could casually summon a Formation Array Realm peak expert... the forces behind him couldn't be simple.
Watching the Sword Saint advance step by step, Su Nantian's heart ached.
Formation Array Realm experts also possessed the arrogance of their realm.
Since there was no escape, he had no choice but to fight.
A fierce light flashed in Su Nantian's eyes. A formation appeared around him, protecting his body. With a thought, he summoned another set of Eight Fiends Swords.
It was an ancient magical artifact, forged with the original bone talismans of eight mythical beasts. It could form a sword array and was currently the Su Family's most powerful killing move.
It was said that if eight Formation Array Realm experts controlled it simultaneously, they could kill a Venerable.
The Eight Fiends Swords formed a killing array, surrounding the Sword Saint. The Sword Saint remained expressionless, not the least bit concerned.
This was perhaps the mindset of a true expert.
With a fierce light flashing in Su Nantian's eyes, he roared, "Go!"
The eight swords immediately transformed into eight sword lights, slashing towards the Sword Saint.
The Sword Saint's thoughts stirred slightly. He held his longsword in his right hand, suspended before him, and then transformed into countless sword shadows, with him as the center.
With a wave of the Sword Saint's hand, countless sword shadows swept outwards.
Su Nantian's Eight Fiends Swords were instantly shattered, vanishing from the air.
The Sword Saint clenched his right hand, and countless sword shadows merged once more, forming a giant sword that slashed down towards Su Nantian.
Su Nantian's protective array shattered inch by inch, and his spirit body began to collapse. A painful expression appeared on his face as he struggled to hold on.
Seeing that Su Nantian was about to fall.
The entire Vermilion Bird City was enveloped in a sky full of flames, and a massive phantom figure hovered in the air.
With a wave of his hand, he grabbed Su Nantian and pulled him back.
The person who arrived was none other than the Fire Emperor, accompanied by Huo Linger.
The Sword Saint didn't care who he was, his eyes narrowed slightly, and with a single sword strike, he slashed towards the Fire Emperor's spirit body.
Shi Teng hurriedly spoke, "Sword Saint, please stop!"
He couldn't possibly attack his younger brother's future father-in-law.
The Fire Emperor's voice was low, "Young friend Shi Teng, it's been a while. Your strength has improved again!"
Shi Teng chuckled, "It's been a while, and your strength is still about the same as before!"
Cough, cough, cough! The Fire Emperor couldn't help but cough lightly. This kid sure knew how to talk.
The Fire Emperor continued, "In any case, you've already gained the upper hand. Let's call it even."
Shi Teng snorted, "Call it even? They just tried to kill me. If it weren't for Senior Sword Saint's intervention, I probably wouldn't be here to see you!"
Sword Saint!
The Fire Emperor bowed slightly to the Sword Saint, showing goodwill.
However, the Sword Saint remained expressionless, his face like ice.
The Fire Emperor paused, then, to ease the awkwardness, turned his gaze to Shi Teng. "This matter was indeed the Su Family's fault. I apologize on their behalf. However, Marquis Zhenyuan Su Lie has already had his hands crippled.
In contrast, you haven't suffered any injuries. No matter what, you're not at a loss. For my sake, let's just let this matter go!"
Shi Teng's eyes darted around. The Fire Emperor had personally spoken; it wouldn't be wise to push the issue further.
But he certainly couldn't let the Su Family off easy.
"Alright, I can let it go, but this whole affair was caused by the Su Family. They were the ones who picked a fight, they were the ones who wanted to kill me.
If they hadn't tried to kill me, why would I have fought back? I want them to compensate me for my medical expenses, mental distress, wasted time, and spiritual energy consumption!"
With so many people watching, the Fire Emperor didn't want the situation to escalate further.
"What compensation do you want from the Su Family?"
Shi Teng's brow furrowed slightly. "I saw the Su Family Patriarch's performance with the Eight Fiends Swords just now was barely passable. I'll take it as compensation!"
Su Nantian's eyes widened in shock; he was almost infuriated to death. This kid really dared to make such a preposterous demand. Those swords were the Su Family's strongest foundation.
"You brat, don't be too excessive!"
The Fire Emperor frowned, his voice low. "Give it to him. After all, the Su Family started this!"
"Your Excellency, the Fire Emperor, this is our Su Family's most powerful offensive weapon!"
The Fire Emperor spoke softly, "Do you want to take another sword strike from the Sword Saint?"
Huo Linger chimed in, fanning the flames, "Exactly! Who told you to bully him? You're a Formation Array Realm expert, yet you attacked a little kid. Aren't you ashamed?
If he didn't have some backing, wouldn't you have just kept on bullying him!"
