It was because of this that the saber, which was like an arrow on a bowstring, did not strike.
The eyes of the two men behind nearly fell out of their sockets as they witnessed the scene. They all knew that Brother Lu was not mentally sound, but his cultivation base was already at the pinnacle. He was indeed the strongest among the three of them and was also the main force in this ambush on Yun Yang. However, was it really appropriate for him to act so recklessly and alone? Was that not seeking death?
They could even imagine the scene of Brother Lu continuing to charge forward blindly and being killed by Yun Yang with a single slash. When pinnacle cultivators fought, a single misstep could lead to death. Yun Yang also had many achievements in killing the souls of his enemies. Both sides were on completely different sides. Once he had the upper hand, there was no way he would show mercy. Therefore, Brother Lu's death was almost certain. The two of them should have fallen back a little, considering whether they should retreat as soon as possible.
In spite of this, the other two men were dumbfounded by what they saw. Brother Lu seemed to have recovered his senses just as he was about to come into contact with Yun Yang. He reacted swiftly and escaped from the range of Yun Yang's saber's murderous aura with a miraculous movement skill.
While the two men were secretly impressed, they were even more doubtful. With Yun Yang's achievements and the mountain that he had purposely built, it was only natural that he had been waiting for this moment. Brother Lu had fallen into a trap of death. Even if he had a pinnacle cultivation base and a miraculous movement skill, it was impossible for him to escape. Had Brother Lu's idiocy dragged Yun Yang down with him?
After that, both of them were even more shocked. Lu had actually sheathed the saber in his hand and looked at Yun Yang from the air, then up at the sky, before turning back to look at the two men behind him. His expression was one of inexplicable confusion; it was a shocking sight to behold.
Not only were the two men surprised, but Yun Yang was also doubtful. With a slight frown, he pointed his saber at Brother Lu and hollered, "Since you're here, what are you playing tricks for? Come down and fight!"
Brother Lu's expression was complicated as he murmured, "The blade is sharp, but if it's stained with the blood of a hero, won't its edge be covered in dust?"
His tone was lost, but it seemed to be implying something.
Yun Yang's heart skipped a beat as he sneered, "You're already here, what blood of a hero? No matter how much you've done for mankind, how can it compare to your selfish schemes and greed? Come on, don't spout nonsense over there and pretend. Your so-called conscience no longer belongs to you! "
Brother Lu's face alternated between red and white.
The two people behind him roared, "Lu Yong is here! What are you doing? "
This despicable fellow's luck was off the charts. He had been on the brink of death just now, but he had managed to escape from the hopeless situation. Yun Yang had never been merciful, so why had he shown mercy to this fellow? ,
No matter what, this fellow was still the strongest among the three of them. With him around, the plan could still work, especially when he had inadvertently attracted a significant portion of Yun Yang's attention while he was muddle-headed, allowing the other two to launch a sneak attack. However, just as the two of them were about to move, they realized that a certain spot had coincidentally blocked their path of attack. It was impossible for the two of them to launch a sneak attack together.
This, this, this … was simply outrageous!
Lu Yong Zai's face twisted for a long time, then he suddenly let out a long sigh, "Brother Liu is right, I want to be an ordinary cultivator from the bottom of my heart, I don't want to stain my hands with the blood of heroes! This kind of power struggle, this kind of shady business that goes against my conscience, this old man can't do it, I won't do it anymore! "
Suddenly, with a long howl, he shot up into the sky, turning into a ray of light in the air.
"This old man is going to the Blood Soul Mountain now, for the rest of my life … Do whatever you want here, Supreme Cloud, take care!"
With a swoosh, his figure disappeared.
Yun Yang was stunned by the sudden turn of events, while the other two lords were about to spit blood from anger.
Brother Liu roared in anger, "Lu Yong Zai! What the f * ck are you doing? Come back quickly! "
Lu Yong Zai's figure had completely disappeared, only his voice could be heard from afar, "My saber will never spill the blood of heroes, my hands will never stain the souls of the innocent! This old man gives up on this fight! This old man also gives up on anything related to the Son of Saint. The rest of my life will be spent on the Blood Soul Mountain! "
His voice grew fainter and fainter, finally disappearing completely.
When the two of them heard this, they were dumbfounded. A strong urge to vomit blood surged in their hearts again and again.
At this moment, they really wanted to spit blood!
"F * ck you! You f * cking … "
That Brother Liu flew into a rage. This blockhead really pissed me off.
Seeing that he was like an idiot who didn't understand this and that … I explained it to him and enlightened him at the same time …
Who would have thought that this enlightenment would actually lead him to leave …
It's fine if you leave, but the three of us have to work together to come up with a strategy!
You're the f * cking strongest among the three of us, alright? Your departure is not as simple as losing a link, it's equivalent to directly tricking the two of us, tricking us to death!
I haven't done many good things in my f * cking life. I've only spoken a few words of advice today, but who would have thought that my advice would have such an amazing effect?
I've directly persuaded him to leave!
But such a f * cking result, I've directly sent myself to my death!
I shouldn't have practiced martial arts, I should have gone and taught disciples! I should have gone and become a teacher!
What a f * cking f * cking dog!
Looking at the ray of light in the distance, he felt as if his entire chest was blocked, and a stifling feeling was stuck in his throat. He couldn't spit it out, and he couldn't swallow it either.
The other person was also dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to do. He stared at Brother Liu. "Brother Liu … you … you … what did you say to him?"
What did Brother Liu say?
Lu Yongzai left just like that?
"Liu, what have you done?!"
The other person exploded.
Are you two trying to trick me to death?!
"I … I didn't say anything …" Brother Liu felt that he was completely dumbfounded. He hurriedly explained the situation to Brother Liu through telepathy, and said speechlessly, "I didn't expect that a few f * cking words would actually enlighten him … F * cking hell, he just left …"
Brother Liu wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
"Brother Liu … You … What's going on? I … I'm f * cking curious, how can there be such a person in the Northern Wilderness Devil Palace, how can this kind of person participate in the fight for the throne? F * ck, this is going to be my death … "
He looked at Brother Liu with endless resentment.
Couldn't you have gone and enlightened him at any time? Why did you have to do it now? F * cking hell …
Brother Liu's hands were numb, and his face was ashen. "This old man is also … Pfft!"
Finally, he could not hold back the frustration in his heart and spat out a mouthful of blood. Only then did he feel a little better in his chest. "I'm so angry …"
Looking at Yun Yang standing in front of him with his saber, the other Saint Lord was uncertain. "Then what do we do now, fight or …"
Fight?
How could he possibly defeat him?
On the contrary, Brother Liu was no longer conflicted.
It was impossible to fight. Yun Yang had the battle record of defeating twelve third level Saint Lords in a row. His combat strength was so strong that he was not only invincible among Saint Lords of the same level, but he was also invincible among Saint Lords. The triangular formation that they relied on to defeat the enemy had yet to be deployed, but one of them had already left without fighting, and it was the strongest of the three.
According to the plan, each of the three Holy Sons would send one person to fight the enemy with the three ultimate arts of the three heavenly palaces, complementing each other's weaknesses. After a day and a night of painstaking practice, it was a special formation that was specially designed to counter Yun Yang's superb saber technique.
Yun Yang's saber technique was incomparably exquisite. It was almost impossible to fight him in this aspect. Therefore, they planned to use defense as offense, each displaying their strengths and complementing each other's weaknesses with the formation's movements. With the three of them working together, they would wear Yun Yang down.
After a day and night of training together, the three of them had already familiarized themselves with this kind of combat technique. Their combined power had almost doubled …
Now, they had lost a corner before the battle had even begun.
How could they fight?
It would not end well for them!
Yun Yang had faced a group of third level Saint Lords alone the day before yesterday, taking them down with a few slashes each time, and the two of them were only third level Saint Lords …
If the two of them worked together, the possibility of being killed by Yun Yang was more than ninety percent, even if it was not certain that they would die!
The best outcome was that one of them would die while the other would be heavily injured and escape. That was all!
However, the two of them were not old friends, and their friendship was very limited. Would they be willing to risk their lives to create a chance of survival for the other?
If they did not fight … would there be a chance to escape?
At this moment, the two of them felt like they were being cooked. They looked at each other and saw each other's constipated expression.
Yun Yang was puzzled. What was wrong with these two?
Coming here, they could not stop fighting, but they were also giving each other meaningful looks? What were they doing?
Could it be that they were old and wanted to have a twilight romance?
After a while, Yun Yang could not help but holler, "Men, come forward to accept your death!"
The two men looked at each other, and Brother Liu suddenly heaved a long sigh.
"My saber has never been stained with the blood of a hero!" Brother Liu sighed. "Supreme Cloud, take care! This old man is going to the Bloody Soul Mountain now. The rest of my life is dedicated to the Bloody Soul Mountain! "
Before his voice echoed in the air, he turned into a beam of light and sped away.
'As long as you f * cking Lu Yong is here, I won't be able to beat the sh * t out of you even if I catch up to you!'
However, this departure was equivalent to giving up everything … Sigh … it was still better than dying.
The other person was dumbfounded once again.
F * ck your mothers!
This f * cking pockmarked was not pockmarked but deceitful.
Deceitful, I've never seen such a deceitful person!
However …
Wasn't this the path to survival?
There were already two of them, why couldn't they do the same?
If I'm the only one left, I'll definitely die.
Then, he heaved a long sigh. "Supreme Cloud, I'm afraid there will be more half-saints coming to deal with you in the future. The three of us are just scouts, but this isn't the end of our skills … This old man has stopped this time not because of anything else, but because I don't want to bury my Daoist heart. I'll head to the Bloody Soul Mountain now and do my part for the human race … Take care of yourself, this old man is very ashamed that I can't do anything for you."
As he spoke, he cupped his fists, his face filled with righteousness and a tinge of shame. "The mountains are high and the rivers are long, we'll never meet again!"
Before his words echoed in the air, he turned into a shooting star and sped towards the southern sky.
This time, Yun Yang was completely clueless as to what was happening before him.
At this moment, he was thrown into disarray by the wind.
This … What exactly was going on?
He lowered his head to look at where he was standing and the mountain he had created with his own hands. He then felt the various vicious traps that he had set up a few days ago, the secret tactics to defeat the enemy …
Was I being stood up?
I've spent so much effort to prepare for this battle, but in the end, I'm only standing here?
Not even a single slash?
If I were to lure other enemies here in the future, wouldn't I be telling them that there was something wrong with this mountain? Otherwise, why would you be so eager to bring him here?
"I didn't expect there to be such a righteous person in the camp of the Holy Sons. I've thought too darkly of a person's heart."
No matter what, Yun Yang still felt a sense of comfort in his heart.
Forget it, forget it, let them go.
He stood up solemnly and turned to give a deep bow towards the distance. "Thank you, all three of you. I, Yun Yang, am deeply grateful for your heroism. May you have a safe journey to the Bloody Soul Mountain."
His voice traveled far away. The person who was walking at the back could still hear it and staggered, almost falling from the sky.
He really wanted to say, "Supreme Cloud, you've misunderstood, you've really misunderstood."
However, he did not say anything in the end, only speeding up.
Sigh, I've said I'm going to the Bloody Soul Mountain, so I'll really go there and fight the demons for the rest of my life. I can't go back to the Holy Sons anyway!
As he pondered, he did not slow down at all and gradually disappeared into the distance.
Yun Yang's words were pretty, as if he had turned enemies into friends with the three who had left. In fact, he had thought about it for a long time and still could not figure out what was going on. Everything else aside, the murderous aura that the three of them exuded when they came from afar could not be faked.
They were definitely here to kill him. Moreover, the three of them had roared at each other in exasperation …
Based on Yun Yang's estimation of the trio's cultivation base, they were all at the pinnacle of third level Holy Emperor. Each of their combat power would not pale in comparison to the Supreme Clouds he had fought earlier. Among them, 'Brother Lu', whom he had interacted with for a brief moment, was the strongest.
Whether it was his cultivation base, his saber skill or movement skill, his combat power was bound to be superior to his peers. Yun Yang knew that he could easily defeat him one-on-one, and it would not be difficult to defeat him one-on-two. However, he would have to expend some cultivation method to fight against three. If the other party had some combined skills, they could still cause additional interference to him, which meant that his advantage was not absolute. Of course, this was not taking into account the many external tricks that Yun Yang had prepared to build the mountain. Defeating the enemy and winning was all within his grasp!
Why did the other party suddenly repent the moment he saw him? Why was it so sudden?
Regardless, it was better to repent than to be stubborn. It was best to avoid such an internal strife among the human race if possible. It was definitely not a bad thing for the other party to head to the Bloody Soul Mountain. After all, the final battle between the human and the demon race was not far away. It was more beneficial than detrimental to let the pinnacle Holy Monarchs get used to fighting the demon race earlier!
Thinking of this, Yun Yang did not ponder further. However, how could he still make use of the many traps here?
He began to ponder this question instead.
Ever since he had embarked on this path, Yun Yang had planned his every step carefully. Along the way, not just this mountain, he had left countless traps that were beneficial to him. He was even more aware that there might not even be thirty percent of the traps that could be of use to him. Most of the rest would be wasted!
However, he was not afraid of wastage. As the wealthiest man in the Bound of Universe, he could afford to consume a little.
After all, it was better than having nothing when he wanted to use it!
Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden tremor in the space above him. The space above his head shattered like a mirror with a crack. A large hand appeared abruptly, falling towards Yun Yang. The huge hand that suddenly appeared was over a thousand feet in radius. With this grab, it covered a large area indiscriminately!
Yun Yang reacted swiftly. The moment he swung his saber, it was as if he was being pressed down by a tremendous force from the sky, falling straight down from the top of the mountain.
Rather than saying that he could not withstand the tremendous force, the fall was more like he had sunk into a swamp.
The gigantic hand did not waver in its approach, colliding with Yun Yang's saber light head-on and dispersing the saber light without any hesitation. It descended from the sky almost without stopping, chasing after Yun Yang in a frenzy.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the large hand slammed onto the top of the mountain.
Yun Yang, who had already entered the mountain, could only feel the entire mountain that was made of refined gold quiver. His surroundings rumbled as well, cracks appearing all over the place.
How could the force of a single palm be so powerful?
Fortunately, the power of the large hand was exhausted. With a soft bang, it turned into specks of golden light and dissipated instantly.
In the air not far away, a white silhouette grunted, blood trickling down the corner of his mouth. "What kind of mountain is this?" He bellowed.
The palm that he had gathered all of his cultivation base had landed on the mountain. Logically speaking, if it were an ordinary stone mountain, the force of the palm should have crushed it completely. It was only a matter of time before the mountain crumbled.
Furthermore, Yun Yang had entered the mountain so easily, which meant that the mountain was actually just an ordinary mountain. Therefore, he had slammed his palm down without hesitation.
However, the mountain in front of him had only shaken a little after taking the blow. There were not even many broken stones and rocks from the top of the mountain! Furthermore, it had dispersed the palm that he had gathered his mystical Qi!
It even produced a rebounding force that directly caused him to suffer internal injuries!
Although the white-clothed man did not know what the texture of the strange mountain in front of him was like, he could already conclude that the texture of the strange mountain was special and far exceeded his understanding. It must be known that only a mountain that could completely withstand his full strength palm strike without any damage could produce the same amount of rebound force and cause him, who was caught off guard, to suffer a great loss.
This was probably the difference between bullying the weak and not being able to fight back. The man in white did not know the texture of the strange mountain in front of him, but he could tell that the strange mountain's texture was unique, far beyond his knowledge. Only a mountain that could withstand the full force of his palm strike without any damage could produce the same recoil force and cause him, who was caught off guard, to suffer a great loss.
This was probably the difference between bullying the weak and not being strong enough!
However, there were not many things in this world that could not be destroyed by the man in white's palm strike, let alone directly forming a mountain. This was too bizarre!
While the man in white was still in shock, the wind suddenly whistled under his feet and a sharp saber light cut through the air.
The moment the saber light flashed, its momentum increased rapidly, like a raging storm. In an instant, the boundless saber light had already gathered into a saber mountain, rising from the ground and shooting straight into the sky!
Since his attack had failed, Yun Yang's counterattack came as fast as lightning!
"Fourth-level Saint Lord!"
The man in white had instantly determined Yun Yang's true cultivation base level. Although the combat power that Yun Yang had displayed so far had far surpassed that of a fourth level Saint Lord, he was still able to accurately grasp Yun Yang's true cultivation base.
This was the insight of a half-step Saint into the world!
In front of a half-step Saint, everything in the world was as clear as a blazing fire, nothing could be hidden.
However, it was one thing to determine a person's cultivation base and another to actually fight. Just like the young man in front of him, his attack was extremely sharp, and he had just been ambushed and suffered the recoil of his full-force palm strike without any preparation. The injury caused by the recoil was still aching, and the moment he exerted force, blood spurted from his mouth.
"Freeze!"
The true power of the law of heaven and earth!
A half-step Saint cultivator's unique ability was to speak with the will of heaven, to obey the law!
With this command, the heaven and earth within a radius of thousands of feet fell silent!
Yun Yang's Soaring Cloud Saber Mountain that was charging towards him like a raging storm was frozen in mid-air. The saber light soared into the sky but froze instantly. Countless sabers glowed brilliantly in the air, a spectacular sight to behold.
At the same time, Yun Yang's tall silhouette that had soared into the sky was frozen as well!
In a flash, the man in white had already appeared near Yun Yang.
Above Yun Yang's head was a thousand feet high saber mountain while below him was a thousand feet of empty space. He was frozen in the air quietly, unable to even move a finger!
The advantage of both sides' offense and defense was suddenly reversed!
"What a peerless genius!" The man in white's expression was indifferent, no longer enraged by the unexpected damage. Instead, his gaze was filled with conflict.
Was he really going to kill him?
Although there were geniuses all the time, geniuses were also divided into different levels. An extraordinary talent like Yun Yang was hard to come by even in a billion years. It would be such a waste to kill him just like that!
A twenty-two to twenty-three year old fourth-grade Saint!
This was unprecedented!
Such an achievement was not only unprecedented, but it would be hard for anyone to catch up to him in the future!
Not only his cultivation base, but even his combat awareness, tactics, and intelligence were extraordinary!
This legend was now right in front of him, unable to move. As long as he stretched out his hand, he could squash him to death with two fingers!
He could kill the legend instantly!
However, the hesitation in the depths of the man in white's heart made it difficult for him to make a decision.
"Yun Yang, can you swear not to participate in the selection of Supreme Heaven Pavilion?" The man in white looked at Yun Yang with a pitiful expression. "Yun Yang, there are three thousand ways, but the road ahead is not the same. You're a rare talent of the Bound of Universe's human race for thousands of years. If you die like this, it would be such a waste. Why seek your own death because of a moment of impulse?"
Yun Yang was frozen in the air, unable to move or speak. He could only stare at the man in white in front of him.
The man in front of him was an expert beyond his knowledge. Before they even exchanged a single blow, he was already at an absolute disadvantage. He could not even control his own life and death. The situation was so bad that he had never seen it before!
"Duo!"
With a command, Yun Yang felt that his eyes could move and his mouth could speak, but his body was still immobile. He squinted and said faintly, "Half Saint?"
"Half Saint! Unless it's someone above the level of Half Saint, what other force in this world can keep you in check? "
The man in white smiled faintly. "You're really amazing. You have the skills, the intelligence, the courage, the decisiveness, the future … You can even hurt me with your setup. You're not bad at all …"
"With my identity, I shouldn't have attacked again if I missed my target, not to mention that I was injured by your setup. It's a huge loss and I'm defeated on the spot."
"However, you still lack the decisive ability. Otherwise, how can you turn the tables on each other?"
The man in white said patiently, "My suggestion is not for you to compromise. The selection of the Supreme Heaven Pavilion does not have any practical benefits for you. Even if you're chosen to be the lord of the palace, you're not familiar with the place and you have no foundation to speak of. How can you really control the palace? The palace that you've inherited will not be able to recover in the next ten thousand years. It'll be hard for it to regain its former glory! "
"Therefore, the Supreme Heaven Pavilion is completely useless to you."
"If you're willing to swear to the heaven and earth now that you'll no longer participate in the selection of the Supreme Heaven Pavilion, I can make the decision and let you live." The man in white said softly, "I'll take care of all the troubles from the Sons. Your safety will no longer be in danger!"
He sighed softly and said, "I really think that it would be a great pity if you died here. It would be a great pity for the human race. How about it? Are you willing to take a step back? "
Yun Yang could feel the sincerity in the man's words. He did feel sorry for him and wanted to let him live, but …
Swear?
Take a step back?
Yun Yang blinked, his tone full of mockery as he said, "Yun Yang thanks senior for your kindness, but does senior think that after I swear to withdraw, the three heavenly palaces will be able to have everything go smoothly and all the Sons of Saint will live in peace without any more disputes?"
The man in white was taken aback and did not answer immediately.
"Perhaps senior thinks that after I leave, the position of the palace lord of the three heavenly palaces will fall into the hands of someone whom senior approves of, and that the palace that senior belongs to will be even more glorious?"
"Or does senior think that the top three heavenly palaces of the Bound of Universe, the three heavenly palaces that hold the fate of the world in their hands … will only be controlled by people who play tricks every day and assume the position of the highest decision-maker be considered successful?"
"I, Yun Yang, have been crowned with the title of Bound of Universe's Supreme Cloud, but I admit that I haven't achieved that much, nor have I truly reached the level of the Bound of Universe's hero. However, since I've been pushed to this position, my achievements are real and no one can deny it! I wonder if senior agrees with this. Do you have any objections? "
"Yes! I have no objections! "The man in white's eyes were half-lidded.
This was something that no one could deny, and there was no room for doubt.
"I'm a hero, my achievements in the Bound of Universe, my glory in history, but I'm being targeted by those Sons of God who are high above. They want to kill me by any means necessary! Is this right? "
"It shouldn't be!"
"If senior were to guard the Mountain of Blood Soul for the human race all your life, how would you feel if you were betrayed and killed by the people you've protected? Would you take a step back? "Yun Yang asked softly.
"I'd be furious. I'd kill them. Why would I take a step back?" The man in white's tone was still calm, but Yun Yang's first four questions echoed in his heart.
Was it really good to hand the heavenly palaces over to such a person? Did it mean that it was right all along?
"That's what I've done." Yun Yang said faintly, "But they've asked senior to kill me!"
"Senior can't bear to kill me, so you've come to force me to give up, to make me take a step back and make an oath to heaven?" Yun Yang smiled mockingly. "I've earned the opportunity to step on these people and climb to the pinnacle of this world with my merits. I didn't act rashly or deceitfully, so why do I have to take a step back and make an oath to give up?"
The man in white sighed softly and said regretfully, "It looks like you're not willing?"
"I'm not willing!"
"You'd rather die than be willing?" The man in white asked softly.
"That's right. In this life of mine, I've marched forward. There's no turning back, there's no retreat! " Yun Yang said faintly, "I only see the path ahead of me. I don't care about the hardships and obstacles along the way, nor do I care about the life and death tribulations along the way. Everything is but training!"
"If I walk forward, it's my destiny! If I can't, it's also my destiny! "
Yun Yang looked at the half-saint coldly. "On the contrary, I'm very surprised. I've always thought that the Sons of Saints could only send forth a fourth level Saint Lord at most. I didn't expect that they could actually ask for help from someone as lofty as you, senior!"
The man in white exhaled softly and said, "This old man is called Ning Fengxue. Lord Supreme Cloud, after this reincarnation, don't forget to seek revenge from this old man!"
"So, you still want to kill me?"
Yun Yang was not surprised by this man called Ning Fengxue's final decision. Any expert, famous, or strong person would have their own standpoint to choose.
What really surprised him was that such a lofty person had long been untainted by karma and had never fallen to the mundane world. Why would he appear here to attack him just for the battle of the Sons of Saints? Or perhaps, what was the reason that could make this person willingly enter the trap?
"The East Celestial Palace can only bear the surname Dongfang." Ning Fengxue sighed softly. "Lord Supreme Cloud, I'm sorry."
A fair, jade-like hand slowly reached forward and pressed down on Yun Yang's forehead, who could not move at all.
Even if Yun Yang's cultivation base was brimming and he was in peak condition, he would still not be able to escape death!
Moreover, Yun Yang could not move at all. He could only close his eyes and wait for death.
"It's better not to be so outstanding in my next life."
The moment Ning Fengxue's palm pressed down, the last moment before it touched Yun Yang's forehead, Yun Yang's gaze that was initially tinged with anticipation suddenly turned cold and murderous.
If I don't have a way to protect myself, how can I stay here?
With a single thought, a purple light shot up into the sky!
A purple jade flute appeared in the air.
