“What’s going on here?”
The indigo-robed man smiled faintly at them, his voice drifting far and wide .
“My Lord, Jian Wushuang and Celestial Manner Lei Yi from the Ancient Demon Clan fought earlier,” Ding Mo replied deferentially .
“It’s Jian Wushuang who attacked me first, leaving me no choice but to defend myself . I never thought of offending you, my Lord,” Lei Yi immediately explained .
“I see . ” The indigo-robed man remained expressionless . He then turned to Jian Wushuang and asked, “Is he telling the truth?”
“Yes . ” Jian Wushuang nodded . The strong Killing Intent that he carried skyrocketed as he continued speaking in a gloomy voice . “I want him dead!”
“Oh?” The Supervisor raised an eyebrow .
The experts gathered on the drill ground wore complicated expressions after hearing Jian Wushuang’s words .
They never expected him to remain so stubborn and blurt out his thoughts in the Supervisor’s presence .
“Humph! How dare you be so audacious in front of our Supervisor? You want me dead? Let’s see who will die first!” Lei Yi sneered .
In his opinion, Jian Wushuang’s stubbornness would only bring him closer to his grave .
If Jian Wushuang was a little more courteous, admit his mistakes, and apologize, the Supervisor might consider letting him off . But now, this seemed highly unlikely .
“He’s really digging his own grave!” Lei Yi’s eyes turned exceptionally cold and sharp .
“Celestial Manner Lei Yi,” the Supervisor said, shifting his gaze to once again look at Lei Yi . “Did you hear what Jian Wushuang said?”
“Yes . ” Lei Yi nodded gravely and answered in a cold voice, “My Lord, Jian Wushuang acted recklessly and stirred up trouble at your inauguration ceremony . Even in your presence, he remains egotistical and shows no respect for you . He has committed an unpardonable crime . I hope that you’ll inflict a strict punishment on him!”
He was eager to kill Jian Wushuang now .
Since he dared not to ask the Supervisor for an execution, he pleaded with the Supervisor to inflict a severe punishment on Jian Wushuang instead .
“Inflict a strict punishment?” The Supervisor smiled, looking as if he was ruminating .
Jian Wushuang remained apathetic as if he was confident and secure in his innocence . In fact, the gaze he cast on Lei Yi appeared to carry a hint ofpity .
“Poor man!” Jian Wushuang sneered deep inside .
“Celestial Manner Lei Yi,” the indigo-robed man called his name again, “Let’s put aside the matter of inflicting a strict punishment on Jian Wushuang for the time being . I just want to know whether you heard his words . ”
Lei Yi was stunned . He began to doubt himself .
“Didn’t Jian Wushuang say that he wanted me dead?”
“Of course I heard him loud and clear! The Supervisor ought to have heard it as well, so why is he asking me?”
Confused as he was, he nodded in agreement . “I heard his words . ”
“Good! That way you at least know why you’re killed,” the indigo-robed man responded with a little smile .
“What?” Celestial Manner Lei Yi was startled .
The experts were similarly taken aback .
“Since he wants you dead, then… you should die,” the indigo-robed man answered flatly .
The moment he finished his sentence, a flash of sword light appeared .
The sword light was so dazzling that it attracted the attention of all the experts present .
They noticed that the indigo-robed man seemed to have turned into another person .
Earlier, he looked composed and gave off no special aura . Yet, his aura now was so strong and sharp that it seemed it could sabotage everything . He seemed like an invincible magic sword with an insurmountable power .
In this world, no one was his equal .
That brilliant sword light was eye-catching .
However, it moved extremely slowly despite how brilliant and dazzling it was .
Yes, it was slow .
On the surface, this attack appeared slow and weak .
Even an Eternal Realm expert could easily dodge this attack, never mind a Celestial or Dao Master .
However…
The target of the sword light, Celestial Master Lei Yi, was frozen in place . He was desperate to evade the sword light but he realized he moved too slowly to do so .
He was slow, excruciatingly so .
He moved even slower than the sword light .
“What the hell?”
His expression mirrored the amazement and confusion he felt deep inside . He felt an unprecedented panic and terror overpowering his emotions .
He stood there, wide-eyed as he watched the slow sword light come near . He saw it hit him before he could brandish his spear to block it .
“Clang!”
A muffled sound of collision resounded in the air, accompanying the raining of blood .
Lei Yi remaining standing in place but his life was slipping away at an amazing speed and his cultivation disappeared instantly . Soon, he leaned backward and fell to the ground .
Before he died, he was still in the dark as to why the new Supervisor killed him instead of penalizing Jian Wushuang who had offended him .
Moreover, he had been unable to see clearly the execution of the Supervisor’s swordsmanship .
It was to the point that he didn’t even know why or how the swordsmanship even killed him .
The sword strike shattered his organs and flesh as well as his Life Core . It was impossible for him to live after such an attack .
Silence fell over the drill ground .
The experts stared at the dead Lei Yi, looking appalled .
The sword light astounded them .
“T-That’s impressive!”
It was unknown who made the startled exclamation . Before long, commotion broke out on the drill ground .
“That blow!”
Patriarch of Empyrean Glory looked at the indigo-robed man in shock .
“That strike was formidable indeed!”
“Even I don’t have enough confidence in warding off that blow . ”
“Celestial Manner Lei Yi had the honor to die at the Supervisor’s hands,” Patriarch of Empyrean Glory muttered, shaking his head .
That blow also left a deep impression on Jian Wushuang . His eyes were filled with shock and excitement .
“Illusion!”
“Yes, it’s an illusion . ”
Jian Wushuang wrung his hands .
“The sword appeared pitifully slow but it was actually unimaginably swift . It was even faster than when I unleashed a sword strike using the Aurora Sword Principle at full strength . ”
“It was so fast that it formed an illusion and that Celestial Master Lei Yi couldn’t react in time, much less block or evade it . Thus, he was immediately killed . ”
“How terrifying!”
Jian Wushuang was also left in awe and shock after the episode .
