Chapter 1270: Chapter 1270: The Unbeatable Ground

Thud!

Bright red blood splashed on the ground of the Demon Slayer Department. Su Zi, who had previously been trying hard to maintain her momentum, now collapsed onto the ground, her tattered clothes and the human skin mask that no longer served any purpose further highlighting her current disheveled state.

Su Zi looked up at Ye Qingci with intense hatred and sneered, "What about being an Earth Immortal? In the end, you still don’t dare to kill me."

The moment her voice fell, Ye Qingci’s figure suddenly appeared in front of Su Zi, and the Sky-splitting Sword plunged into Su Zi’s Dantian. The Hollow Vacuum energies instantly burst outward frenziedly!

"Ye Qingci!"

Yang Qianyan couldn’t help but speak out in an instant, while Xu Zijing also frowned slightly at this moment.

They had agreed that it would be a single stroke, but now Ye Qingci clearly broke the previously set rules.

With a trace of breath left, Su Zi, enduring the pain, looked up at Ye Qingci and said, "You’ve overstepped the bounds!"

"Yes, I’ve overstepped the bounds, but so what?"

Her cold, domineering words silenced everyone. Su Zi, with a surge of emotion, said, "Do you really want to provoke a war between Xia Country and our Ancient Clan!"

"With just you? Are you worthy?"

Ye Qingci said coldly, withdrawing the Sky-splitting Sword and rapidly striking several points on Su Zi’s body.

As Ye Qingci’s Sword Momentum fell, Su Zi’s cultivation rapidly dispersed into the surroundings. Finally realizing what Ye Qingci was doing, Su Zi’s eyes widened, "You scoundrel! You’re dispersing my cultivation!"

Su Zi, being at the Hollow Void Eighth Level, was amongst the elite in the entire Su Clan, and was also the most likely candidate currently to become a Land Immortal.

Ye Qingci’s several strikes had nearly dispersed all her Hollow Void cultivation, and even if Su Zi could cultivate the Hollow Realm again, she was destined to only maintain the First Layer of the Void Realm and would not be able to advance further in this lifetime.

"I spared your life because you are from the Su Clan, but destroying your cultivation is the price you must pay. If anyone from the Su Clan has any complaints, they are more than welcome to come to me directly, and I will naturally explain it to them," she said coldly.

After saying this, she looked down at Su Zi again and added, "Being born in the Su Clan, you really do have good fortune."

Su Zi, trembling inwardly at that cold gaze, remembered Ye Qingci’s words before she struck with her sword.

"If Su Chengyu had struck like you, he would have died countless times already!"

Was this person really just acting out of personal vendetta?

Was it really just about helping that Su Chengyu?

Now that she finally understood this, Su Zi’s shock shifted, and her gaze towards Su Chengyu grew even more peculiar.

The Su Clan actually had no significant grudges against Su Chengyu. Firstly, the Ancient Clan had suffered heavy losses during this expedition to the Kunwu Realm, with many young potentials dying within, and it was unclear who had acted, with only sparse clues pointing towards Su Chengyu.

Secondly, Su Chengyu’s surname, Su, was an indisputable reason for all in the Su Clan.

After all, for a hundred years, the Su Clan had been suppressed by persons outside the clan with the surname Su, becoming a joke among the Ancient Clans.

The more exceptional Su Chengyu’s talents, the less the Su Clan could afford to ignore him. They could not allow Su Chengyu to become the next Su Linyuan, the next Su Zhedian, and let their Su Clan become the laughingstock of another century.

And Su Zi had never imagined that because of this Su Chengyu, she would end up in such a plight.

"Just how did this guy get mixed up with you!"

Whoosh!

Another sword swiftly grazed Su Zi’s cheek, leaving a terrifying gash on that jade-white face, Ye Qingci looked at Su Zi coldly and said, "Mind your words."

With her cultivation destroyed, Su Zi no longer cared about these things, and scoffed, "If you have nothing to hide, why fear what others say?"

Ye Qingci’s eyes narrowed slightly, and this time a real intent to kill flared in her heart.

"That’s enough, Moon Han. I will handle the rest."

The voice of Yang Chengyin within the Demon Slayer Department resonated once again, and only then did Ye Qingci slowly retract her sword and return to the team near the Demon Slayer Saint.

Having finally let out a sigh of relief, Yang Qianyan glanced at Ye Qingci but ultimately chose to say nothing. Beside him, Xu Zijing smiled and said, "Isn’t this also quite good? But I’m quite curious, Moon Han, it seems you particularly care about this Su Chengyu."

"He saved my life; my Ascension Calamity was overseen by him as the protector."

"He?"

Cang Xue, upon hearing this, subconsciously spoke out, unable to believe her eyes as she looked at Ye Qingci.

The role of a protector during the Ascension Calamity is extremely critical. Even among the Twelve Holy Emissaries, only a few are eligible to serve as Ye Qingci’s protector. Cang Xue could not fathom why Su Chengyu would qualify to be Ye Qingci’s protector.

Conversely, Xu Zijing was very calm and remarked, "I see, no wonder you are so concerned about this young man. But... did the protector fail?"

Ye Qingci looked at Xu Zijing and remained silent; she had not actually transcended the Ascension Calamity, and not many knew about her experience of tempering her body through heavenly lightning.

In the Demon Slayer Department, she had never discussed this matter with anyone, clearly Xu Zijing had deduced this through his own observational skills.

Yang Qianyan, who had also become aware, similarly cast a slow glance, highly concerned about this issue.

"After all, he was only a Nascent Soul; he did his best."

She was not inclined to discuss much about what had happened during her visit to Dongying, and even when mentioning Su Chengyu, much of what she said was a mix of truth and fabrications.

For instance, Su Chengyu did indeed act as her protector, but he was protecting during the Hollow Realm ordeal, and he had also played a significant role when she ascended to become an Earth Immortal. However, that was for opening the Dragon Gate for her.

But these matters touched upon Ye Qingci’s greatest secrets; she would not speak further, and others dared not ask more.

At this point in the conversation, it was sufficient for everyone to understand why she particularly cared about Su Chengyu.

Xu Zijing nodded and looked at Su Chengyu, "Though he is only a Nascent Soul, the average Demon Monarch would likely not be his opponent. It’s a pity that the opponents he faces today each possess the capability to slay a Demon Monarch. This challenge won’t be easy to overcome."

Naturally, Red Flame doesn’t need to be mentioned. In the Demon Slayer Department, there are already records of him slaying a Demon Monarch. Su Pingping, with external assistance from Su Zi, also nearly stands unbeaten against a Demon Monarch...

The minor episode that occurred between Ye Qingci and Su Zi, although it allowed Su Chengyu to reduce as much as possible the burden that the Wasteland Sky Halberd imposed on his body during that period, everyone knew that Su Chengyu still had at least two more battles to face.

"Next, it should be my turn, right?"

From a corner, the nobly dressed Zhao Shijue spoke with a smile and then slowly made his way to the Martial Arts Field.

His unhurried movements made it quite indiscernible that this was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator stepping into the arena. As Zhao Shijue walked up to Su Chengyu, he smiled and said, "While you’ve surprised me a bit, you’re still destined to die here today. "

"If you kill me, aren’t you afraid that Lin An will give you trouble?"

Zhao Shijue chuckled slightly, "I didn’t expect you to be so thick-skinned. "

"If you, as a prince, shamelessly challenge me to a life-and-death duel, if I didn’t thicken my skin, wouldn’t I be at a disadvantage and die?"

With eyes meeting, Zhao Shijue smiled and said, "I promised Lin An that I wouldn’t kill you.

"Really?" Su Chengyu blinked and continued to ask.

Zhao Shijue continued, "I also promised someone else that I must kill you. Guess whether I will truly strike you down in the end?

Su Chengyu blinked and replied, "I think I’d better consider what consequences there would be for killing a prince in Capital City."

"It would implicate your entire family, and you would never have a place to stand in Xia Country again. Of course, for someone like you, you probably wouldn’t care about such things. But there’s one thing you’ll definitely care about."

"What’s that?"

"If you kill me, you’ll never be able to be with Lin An again."

Without even beginning the fight, Zhao Shijue had already placed himself in an invincible position.
