Chapter 611: Who gave you the courage?

Dan Tai Nan laughed wildly.

The Nine-Headed Snake phantom behind him trembled wildly, bursting forth with surging undulations.

Like ripples spreading.

The void seemed to become a lake surface, ripples spreading in circles.

With a boom, a crimson spear appeared in Dan Tai Nan's hand.

Crimson energy, like flames, continually burned on the spear.

Releasing scorching undulations.

Hiss!!!

The Nine-Headed Snake phantom let out a hiss.

A terrifying undulation instantly enveloped the entire square.

Even the square's floor seemed unable to withstand this terrifying force, cracking open ferocious fissures.

Bang bang bang!!!

The floor tiles shattered, and sand and stones flew across the square.

Su Yu continued to stand silently before Dan Tai Nan.

The fierce wind continually battered Su Yu's body; his white clothes fluttered loudly in the gusts.

For so many years, no Blade Wielder has ever broken my chains—I even have to thank you!

Dan Tai Nan laughed, as if truly thanking Su Yu.

For all these years, do you know why I've remained in the God Spirit Abyss?

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Dan Tai Nan's words were a bit more than usual.

Yet Su Yu remained calmly gazing at Dan Tai Nan, not even bothering to say more.

Dan Tai Nan held the crimson spear, its shaft studded with gems that emitted an eerie light.

He pointed the spear forward, aiming straight at the group of Blade Wielders.

Because they're utterly useless!

Dan Tai Nan's words didn't anger the Blade Wielders.

Because... what Dan Tai Nan said was the truth!

No Blade Wielder could break Dan Tai Nan's seal—not even powerhouses like Chu Kuangren or Yan Ming Tian could manage it.

The gap between them was simply too great.

Oh!

Yet the only reply to Dan Tai Nan was Su Yu's soft 'oh'.

But Dan Tai Nan didn't mind at all, still smiling as he looked at Su Yu.

So I've always been immersed in the God Spirit Abyss; only there can I fight to my heart's content!

Combat... is a person's ultimate belonging!

When Kui's claws tore into my flesh, do you know how thrilled I was!

Dan Tai Nan's eyes seemed filled with a mad gleam.

That painful feeling truly makes one linger, unwilling to leave!

Dan Tai Nan narrowed his eyes, as if savoring it.

Su Yu gazed at Dan Tai Nan's almost sickly face, fell silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.

So... do you have a masochistic tendency?

Su Yu said seriously, 'If you're sick, go get treated; acting crazy here will get you beaten or killed.'

Dan Tai Nan stared, looking at Su Yu's serious expression; if not for that, he'd really think Su Yu was mocking him.

But... Su Yu really seemed to be mocking himself.

Dan Tai Nan's expression gradually faded.

A cold hue gradually appeared on Dan Tai Nan's face.

Su Yu this guy is still as arrogant as ever—he even dares to mock Dan Tai Nan; does he truly not fear death?

A Blade Wielder trembled as he gazed at Su Yu standing still there.

His eyes were full of confusion.

The surrounding Blade Wielders also nodded in agreement.

In their shared understanding, mocking Dan Tai Nan seemed like a grave sin.

I admit... you're even more arrogant than I am.

Dan Tai Nan glanced lightly at Su Yu; the coldness in his eyes grew deeper.

But only this way is it the most fun!

Dan Tai Nan's mouth corner twitched up slightly, forming an arc.

Swish!

Accompanied by a sound of tearing air.

Dan Tai Nan's figure vanished instantly.

In midair, afterimages lingered.

So fast that some Blade Wielders hadn't even reacted before Dan Tai Nan appeared before Su Yu.

The spear in his hand thrust out, crimson energy surging like a wave toward Su Yu.

The Nine-Headed Snake phantom behind him, as if excited, wildly swayed its heads, spewing endless lawful power.

Strengthen the long spear.

"Break!"

Dan Tai Nan exploded with a shout; the surging power of laws even directly tore the surrounding void, instantly descending upon Su Yu.

Facing such a surging assault, Su Yu's feet merely tapped lightly on the ground.

He exerted slight force with his knees and leapt up instantly.

Then, with the tip of his foot lightly stepping on Dan Tai Nan's shoulder, he had already arrived behind Dan Tai Nan.

Thud!

The long spear fiercely plunged into the ground; the powerful force directly blasted a huge pit in the earth before him.

Within the pit, wisps of cooking smoke rose.

The strike missed!

Dan Tai Nan's expression grew even colder.

He turned around, yet saw Su Yu as if he hadn't noticed him, continuing to walk slowly toward the Holy Blade.

As if he hadn't seen this person at all.

Even someone as proud as Dan Tai Nan, upon seeing this, first froze, then a boundless anger ignited in his heart.

"Su Yu!"

Dan Tai Nan gave a low shout, his voice like a raging flood beast.

As a result, Su Yu seemed not to have heard his voice, continuing on his own toward the Holy Blade.

Dan Tai Nan was utterly enraged.

"Ignore me! The consequences are not something you can bear!"

"Seek death!". ghxsw. c0

Dan Tai Nan roared angrily; the nine-headed snake illusion behind him, sensing his master's fury, also instantly raged, emitting a deafening hiss.

It wildly swayed its massive body, intending to charge at Su Yu to kill him.

"Hiss... Facing Dan Tai Nan, Su Yu is actually this relaxed!"

The surrounding sword-wielders, watching this scene, couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"Just, now Dan Tai Nan is utterly enraged; perhaps Su Yu wouldn't dare to underestimate him either!"

Someone spoke slowly, but obviously hesitated when saying this.

Because, although Su Yu's earlier maneuver seemed extremely simple, wanting to grasp the timing and power well...

It is truly extremely difficult.

Especially when facing such a terrifying expert as Dan Tai Nan, ordinary people would probably be stunned by his aura at first glance.

Sure enough, Dan Tai Nan's figure burst forth again; the spear in his hand instantly thrust out countless phantoms.

The crimson spear shadows burst forth with surging power, directly sealing off Su Yu's surroundings.

Obviously, he didn't want Su Yu to easily escape from his power's seal again.

But....

Even faced with such a dense barrage of spear shadows, Su Yu didn't even turn his head.

His whole figure became extremely ethereal.

The tips of his feet lightly touched the ground, and an intangible wave burst forth from within Su Yu's body.

The energy fluctuation wasn't strong; indeed, it was extremely gentle.

But it was precisely these extremely gentle energy fluctuations that directly dissolved those sky-filling spear shadows.

Su Yu stood steady and firm on the ground, slowly turning his body, calmly gazing at Dan Tai Nan.

"Don't you find yourself annoying?"

Su Yu said seriously.

However, Dan Tai Nan now couldn't care less about Su Yu's expression or mood; he merely gave an excited smile.

"Whether annoying or not, let's fight first and talk later!"

"Hahaha!"

Dan Tai Nan laughed loudly, took a step forward, and instantly arrived before Su Yu; the gemstone inlaid on his spear flashed with light.

"Blood Shadow Layers!"

In an instant, from that crimson spear, it seemed as if ghostly shadows instantly spread out, emitting a piercing shriek.

"Rage!!!"

The sound waves spread, filling the entire plaza.

Some sword-wielders with slightly weaker cultivation, upon hearing this sound, had their faces turn extremely ferocious, as if enduring some pain.

But Su Yu's expression remained unchanged, even showing no reaction.

"Blood Spear Technique!"

Dan Tai Nan didn't care whether Su Yu had been affected; he shouted loudly and thrust his spear.

The surging power of laws instantly gathered at the spear tip; faintly, the void above the tip actually cracked open.

Outside the opening lay pitch-black void.

Flames and lightning of various colors continually leapt within the void.

This spear actually pierced straight through the void!

Although it was only a tiny area, it was enough to show its terrifying degree.

"This move, I have even slain a late-stage Venerable Realm champion; I don't know if you can withstand it!"

Dan Tai Nan laughed loudly, his eyes excited, as if also anticipating something.

Facing this spear.

Su Yu finally made a move.

"You really...." Su Yu's brow slightly furrowed, "So annoying!"

As his words fell, Su Yu slowly stepped forward.

In the next moment, a phantom of a crimson war blade appeared out of nowhere behind Su Yu.

Upon the war blade surged an extremely overbearing power, as if nothing could withstand it under that power.

Strands of blade qi spread out from the void.

Su Yu's right hand grasped at the void.

A war blade entirely formed of blade qi instantly appeared.

Grasping the war blade, Su Yu's whole being seemed to undergo an earth-shaking change.

A soaring aura erupted instantly.

Boom—!!

The void emitted rumbling sounds.

Su Yu, gripping the blade-qi war blade, fiercely slashed down at the crimson spear before him.

Clang!

The metallic clash rang out, and the terrifying blade qi and spear shadow instantly ran rampant.

Endless power burst forth violently.

Forming a massive energy storm.

The storm instantly spread, directly enveloping both Dan Tai Nan and Su Yu.

For a moment, the surrounding sword-wielders could not even make out the shape within the storm.

"Such strong power!"

Everyone's hearts sank slightly.

They never imagined that Su Yu could fight Dan Tai Nan to this extent.

This extent is already beyond the level of the Law Realm.

Even an ordinary Venerable Realm might not be able to unleash such terrifying power.

"After all, who can win?"

Someone swallowed, staring in horror at the violent energy storm before them.

The people around shook their heads.

Their eyes held a hint of bewilderment.

Logically, they would rather say Dan Tai Nan won, but seeing Su Yu evenly matched with Dan Tai Nan, they began to waver.

"Regardless of who wins this time, being able to force Dan Tai Nan to this point, Su Yu has already made a name for himself throughout the Sword-Wielders' Court!"

Someone spoke in a deep voice.

Before, Su Yu had slain Yan Ming Tian, and indeed he was already famous in the Sword-Wielders' Court; but this time, facing Dan Tai Nan, who made the Sword-Wielders of the entire Sword-Wielders' Court fearful,

Su Yu's fame will surge up another level.

Regardless of victory or defeat.

"But... Su Yu has only been in the Sword-Wielders' Court for less than a year!"

In the crowd, someone suddenly said this.

Instantly, all the onlooking Sword-Wielders fell silent.

Yes, Su Yu has only been in the Sword-Wielders' Court for less than a year, and this short span is even the amount of time some Sword-Wielders need for a single secluded cultivation.

He went straight from the peak of the Great Dao Realm to becoming a man who could stand equal to Dan Tai Nan in a single step.

Such a terrifying monster....

"It seems that our Sword-Wielders' Court will soon give birth to a supreme expert at the peak of the Imperial Realm, even... the Court Master!"

Someone murmured.

In one year, from the peak of the Great Dao Realm to the Venerable Realm.

Even the first few Court Masters might not be able to achieve that.

However, Su Yu indeed did it.

Such terrifying battle power...

It is frightening.

The energy storm gradually dissipated.

Two figures emerged.

The war blade formed from Su Yu's blade qi has completely dissipated.

And Dan Tai Nan stood still in place, his long spear still pointing at Su Yu.

But if one looks closely, one can see that Dan Tai Nan's body is actually trembling.

Dan Tai Nan gazed solemnly at Su Yu before him; just as the energy storm raged violently moments ago, Su Yu directly neutralized his attack.

Even...

Dan Tai Nan looked at his tiger's mouth, and blood burst forth from it.

Dan Tai Nan's eyes were slightly dazed; he didn't know why, though he should normally relish the feeling of pain, but this time....

Dan Tai Nan shuddered and looked toward Su Yu.

Su Yu remained expressionless.

He merely raised his head, and a radiant light filled his bright eyes.

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

Around, endless sword qi instantly filled the air.

An ancient battle blade appeared in Su Yu's hand; behind him, a black hole phantom reappeared in an instant.

And Su Yu's aura surged continuously at this moment.

All the way up to... mid-stage Venerable Realm!

Feeling Su Yu's aura, Dantai Nan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Su Yu gazed at Dantai Nan calmly, expressionless,

"Who gave you the guts to fight me?"

"Just relying on your half-baked late-stage Venerable Realm?"

Su Yu's voice rang out as he took a step forward.

Sword qi shot up to the heavens.

As if a sword god had descended at this moment.
