No one had noticed this kitten before this.
How could there be a cat in the chaotic battlefield?
High up in the air?
It was only the size of a fist, how did it get up there?
The kitten looked harmless, but it was actually …
Down below, the tens of thousands of people felt their hearts skip a beat as a sense of foreboding rose within them. They roared at the top of their lungs, "Be careful!"
"Meow!"
With a soft cry, Whitey Two's paw landed hard on the unguarded back of the Ziyou expert's head.
Smack!
This expert's entire head was completely smashed just like that!
His body seemed to be in disbelief, unable to comprehend the current situation. He twisted in midair, wanting to turn back to see who had killed him.
Just now, there was clearly nothing behind him!?
How could an enemy suddenly appear?
How could he be ambushed so suddenly?
This should not be possible, it was impossible!
His body followed the command given by his mind at the very last moment, turning back in the air with his chest facing his back. It was a pity that his last wish had failed because his eyes would never be able to see again!
His body paused in the air for a moment before he dropped down.
Even until his death, he was still in a daze, passing away without knowing why!
An expert of his generation had passed away, just like that, his soul had gone to the netherworld!
Countless people watched the scene unfold before their eyes. At this moment, everyone felt as if the world before their eyes had turned black and white; there was no other color!
This, this was simply a nightmare!
Ding Yunlu's promise had been shattered and everyone had sunk into a nightmare that they could not extricate themselves from. With the appearance of this person, Yun Yang was defeated for the first time, causing his peerless saber skill to fail. The crowd's hope was reignited, thinking that this nightmare could finally end!
However, the result was that their savior had fallen, their hope shattered, and they were once again trapped in a darker nightmare!
Yun Yang did not know who he had killed, but how could the people below not know who it was?
This person was a legendary figure in the Empire of Ziyou, the King of Swords, Qu Hanxue. This person's reputation was like the sun in the sky.
Once he attacked, all the swords in the city would sense it!
Such a legendary figure had fallen so easily in front of his eyes!
Even his long sword, which was rumored to be a legendary artifact, was cut into seventeen or eighteen pieces!
This was a reality that they could not accept!
The Sword King of this generation had just declared that his opponent had exhausted all his tricks and was immediately slapped in the face. He had been injured by the saber moves that he had thought he had broken long ago, and he didn't even have a way to die that was befitting of his status. His head had been smashed to pieces by a palm-sized kitten!
This way of dying was really degrading!
Everyone looked up in a daze, only to see that the sky was empty.
There should have been a kitten that had just killed the Sword King Qu Hanxue there … How come it had disappeared? It seemed like no one had seen where it had gone.
It was as if this was really a dream.
When he woke up, the kitten was gone.
But … Qu Hanxue was dead!
He was really dead!
The three people who were rushing over from afar felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Their eyes were filled with disbelief as they watched this scene unfold. They could not help but slow down!
How could Qu Hanxue have died so worthlessly?
How could the Sword King of this generation not even leave a mark on Supreme Cloud?
Had he not already seen through his opponent's saber moves? Had he not declared that his opponent had exhausted all his tricks?
Should he not have had the upper hand?
Why was he the one who had died instead?
They were stunned and hesitant, but Yun Yang would not be stunned nor would he hesitate. Seizing the opportunity, he charged another thousand feet forward. His saber gleamed brightly in midair, like a dream!
From the moment he had flown into the sky until now, he had been hovering in the air for three hours!
This was a terrifying amount of time!
The three people who had rushed over had already fallen behind him and to his side.
Even if they had caught up, Yun Yang would no longer be passive. These three people had already lost their composure due to the unexpected death of the Sword King, Qu Hanxue; their combat power would definitely be greatly reduced. He still had a lot of trump cards that he had yet to use, enough to deal with the three of them. Furthermore, he had already made his move; the three of them did not have enough time to chase after him!
However, at this moment, an unusually strong aura appeared out of nowhere, right in front of Yun Yang's left.
Yun Yang's gaze froze, his body swaying in the air like a willow swaying in the wind.
A hunched silhouette appeared out of thin air, quietly appearing a hundred feet away from his left and striking with a palm.
The palm strike was like a mountain-splitting ax, with earth-shattering power. As the palm struck, the entire space beside the silhouette turned black at once!
The space had also changed due to this person's attack!
A black hole no less than thirty feet in diameter was formed from the palm strike. The moment the black hole appeared, it had already swallowed everything in the original space, generating a massive gravitational force. Yun Yang could not cast his wind and cloud manifestation now, but even if he could, he would still be delayed for a few breaths when faced with such a strong gravitational force!
The powerful palm strike was about to reach him, but the terrifying howl of a ghost that was produced from the palm strike was heard!
The speed of the force was faster than sound!
It was Elder Hei!
Yun Yang recognized the person at once. It was the old eunuch who had always been by Ziyou's emperor's side!
Yun Yang had already determined the old eunuch's ability from this palm strike – fourth heaven pinnacle!
The old eunuch's ability was more than a level higher than Venerable Lord Saber's!
The forceful force enveloped Yun Yang, covering a wide area. Complemented by the strong gravitational force, it was obvious that Yun Yang had no room to evade.
Yun Yang looked like he was restrained by the strong gravitational force due to the sudden turn of events, unable to evade in time. Faced with the sudden palm strike, he only made a slight movement to evade but stopped abruptly. Then, he hurriedly pushed his palms out, as if he was reacting hastily.
In spite of this, there were wisps of green around the edges of his palms.
With a loud boom!
Elder Hei only felt that his thunderous palm strike had indeed hit the target. However, the feeling of hitting the target was as if he had hit a cotton bag or hit a cloud. There was actually no resistance at all.
There was even an inexplicable force of attraction from the other party's palm!
This time, it was Elder Hei's turn to lean slightly forward due to his miscalculation of the enemy. However, his reaction speed was extremely fast, and he gathered his strength at the bottom of his feet in the nick of time. His entire body immediately sank a full thirty feet, and he even leaned back to prevent himself from losing his balance.
Supreme Cloud, on the other hand, seemed to have suffered an even greater impact. With a loud crash, he was sent flying away.
Elder Hei, who seemed to have gained the upper hand, paled instead. He knew that the situation was not right. The other party still had the strength to cause him to lose his balance, so there was no reason for him to be sent flying. It was only logical that everything had been planned by the other party. In that case, he must have had some other plan in mind for him to be sent flying. Once he thought about it, he cried out shrilly, "Stop him!"
The three experts who were rushing over from the side watched as Supreme Cloud was about to be severely injured by Elder Hei. Despite being lucky enough to withstand the palm strike, he was still sent flying far away. Everyone's gaze was filled with mixed emotions. F * ck, we've finally arrived at the crucial moment despite our haste, but we've been taken advantage of by this ambiguous old eunuch!
If we'd known this earlier, we might as well not have appeared!
With that thought in mind, there was a momentary pause. Their movements were unavoidably a step slower.
Even when the old eunuch's shrill reminder rang, the three of them still had not reacted. When they regained their Qi, they were even slower.
As far as the eye could see, Supreme Cloud's figure was sent flying like a cannonball after the palm strike. Wherever he passed, the air was filled with wisps of green smoke. It was obvious that his speed had reached a terrifying level.
His destination was … the General Wudi Shrine!
Elder Hei's powerful palm strike that shattered space, coupled with Supreme Cloud's own energy, covered five thousand feet in the blink of an eye. In the end, he crashed through the wall of the General Wudi Shrine with a loud boom. Amidst the smoke and dust, Supreme Cloud's body had disappeared!
Elder Hei's body shot forward, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air as he flew toward the General Wudi Shrine with a shrill whistle.
The other three men followed closely behind. These three men were truly eccentric. Instead of reflecting on their own failures, they were gloating at Elder Hei's misfortune, thinking, "This old man has been tricked … Hahaha!"
Yun Yang had absorbed Elder Hei's energy by force and borrowed it to fly away. His plan was successful, but his actual cultivation base was still two levels lower than Elder Hei's. Although the Endless Divine Art protected his heart meridians and internal organs, he could not help but be shaken by the sudden surge of energy.
Yun Yang felt as if his organs were on fire, his mouth and nose were bleeding. He took in a deep breath of energy to make himself fly like a meteor, following the predetermined path, forcefully breaking through the General Wudi Shrine and entering.
At a glance, he saw that there was a memorial tablet of General Wudi's family of three. Under the memorial tablet, there were two skeletons wrapped in yellow cloth.
Further ahead was the incense table, where smoke was still rising.
Without further ado, Yun Yang shattered the three statues with a palm strike and grabbed the skeleton and the memorial tablets that were wrapped in yellow cloth, keeping them in his spatial ring. He hollered, "The Empire of Ziyou has fallen. General Wudi, come home with me!"
"Our family will be reunited from now on!"
Before his words echoed in the air, he moved again. This time, he broke through the wall on the other side. Amidst the billowing dust, Yun Yang shot out like a bolt of lightning, like a majestic eagle piercing through the clouds and fog, soaring through the nine heavens!
At the same time, the majestic General Wudi Tower, one of Zilong City's landmarks, suddenly tilted to one side. The top of the tower, hundreds of feet tall, fell with a loud crash, following the direction that Yun Yang had come from.
It was obvious that Yun Yang's two attempts to break through the wall had shaken the tower's foundation. When he broke through the wall for the second time, he had even aimed at the direction that the tower could no longer support itself.
After a series of rumbling noises, the sky was filled with dust and smoke that didn't stop for a long time, immediately blocking the line of sight of countless people.
Yun Yang, on the other hand, had increased his speed to the maximum.
All of his goals for this trip, including the additional ones, had been accomplished. Of course, he wanted to leave now!
And when he first rushed out, what maintained him was a kind of grief and indignation that could not be vented, as well as a kind of anger that had been suppressed to the extreme!
It had made him want to go on a killing spree, to be presumptuous for once!
He knew that it was impulsive, that it was reckless, but he had still gone on a killing spree.
Although he knew that it did not match his identity as the Nine Supremes' think tank, nor was it something that a wise man would do, he had been overwhelmed by rage and grief.
After all, he was only a youth who was not even twenty years old.
Halfway through the killing spree, however, Yun Yang's rationality had returned. He immediately felt that what he had done was foolish, that he was merely deceiving himself.
At the very least, the Four Seasons Tower's top experts who had targeted Supreme Cloud had been killed by Jun Moyan. That was why he could act so recklessly!
On the contrary, Yun Yang asked himself, "If the Four Seasons Tower's fifth or sixth heaven experts were still here, would I still dare to be so impulsive?"
Furthermore, if Jun Moyan had not kept his promise and killed all four of the Four Seasons Tower's leaders, what would he do?
It was true that Jun Moyan killing the four men was part of his plan, but what if Jun Moyan did not value the Medallion of Gratitude that much?
After all, the person directly involved in the Medallion of Gratitude, Old Dugu, was no longer around!
Thinking deeper, Jun Moyan was still from the Empire of Ziyou. He had helped him out of friendship. So what if the other party did not fulfill his promise and killed him instead?
Thinking about it, Yun Yang broke out in sweat, drenching his shirt.
It was just that Yun Yang was already in the middle of it then. He had already charged out impulsively, leaving in such a flustered manner seemed even more foolish. Since he was already foolish and impulsive, he would carry on his impulsiveness to the end. When he caught a glimpse of Shangguan Lingxiu, Yun Yang decided that he would take the opportunity to bring General Wudi's remains back with him.
After all, Ziyou's national fortune had been swept clean by him. The imperial seal's providence was gone, and the national treasure had become an empty shell. From a certain perspective, the Empire of Ziyou could be considered as a fallen nation.
With that, General Shangguan Wudi's vow all those years ago could be considered fulfilled. The difference was similar, how could it be perfect?
Therefore, Yun Yang decided to bring Shangguan Wudi's remains back.
I've been impulsive, I don't regret it. I've been impulsive to the end, I've been foolish to the end!
However, I still have to make some valuable compensation for my impulsiveness, for my foolishness.
Suddenly, a gust of wind tore through the air. It was a Siege Arrow that had been fired from afar.
Just as Yun Yang charged out of the thick smoke, the Siege Arrow was already thirty feet away from him. It was obvious that the person controlling the bow was no ordinary person. In addition, Yun Yang's deific consciousness detected that there were three people rushing over from his left and right.
Behind him, there were also six people flying towards him like lightning.
In front of him, however, there was a Siege Arrow coming for him.
Yun Yang let out a shrill howl, his swift form changing its direction in midair and taking off in a slanted manner like a flaming arrow.
His waist retracted abruptly, feeling a chill from his abdomen and the sensation of intense friction. Shreds of clothes flew everywhere, and the smell of burnt flesh rose up from the high speed.
Blood splattered.
The Siege Arrow that had been prepared for a long time had hurt Yun Yang in the end!
The Siege Arrow had come from a delicate angle while Yun Yang's forward momentum was swift. Despite his swift reflexes and sudden change of direction, he was still slightly injured. However, Yun Yang managed to avoid the arrow and kicked the Siege Arrow viciously with both feet.
The Siege Arrow was kicked by him with all of his cultivation, and it immediately turned half an arc in the air. With incomparable ferocity and precision, it shot towards Elder Hei's chest, who was rushing over at full speed!
It was equivalent to a Siege Arrow that possessed all of Yun Yang's power. Combined with its own terrifying speed and the weight of the Siege Arrow itself, the extreme combination of these three factors truly possessed the power to slay gods and Buddhas.
Elder Hei knew how powerful it was, so he dared not face it head-on. He quickly dodged and floated away. Yun Yang, on the other hand, flew five hundred feet into the air with the help of the recoil after the kick. He was like a human-shaped kite gliding in the sky. From the ground, he was only the size of a watermelon.
Whitey Two, who was high up in the sky, suddenly howled. Its snow-white body appeared beneath Yun Yang's feet, resuming its previous state of being one with the beast.
Whitey Two's snow-white body opened up smoothly and carried Yun Yang as it flew upwards in a straight line. In the blink of an eye, they were already a thousand feet high in the sky.
The dozen or so silhouettes that were charging upwards like arrows were confused. Some of them even staggered in midair and almost fell.
The other party had a flying mystical beast!
How … how could they stay?
Just as the cumbersome Siege Bows were raised, all the soldiers operating them were dumbfounded.
How could they attack?
The other party had already become a tiny black dot in their eyes. How could they attack it?
It was like shooting a mosquito with an anti-aircraft cannon!
At most, it was a reference value. Theoretically, they could hit it, but in reality, it was impossible!
The Deicide Bows were stunned as well.
They had fired arrows with all their might; their hands were already drenched in blood.
In the end, they had released their target into the sky.
"That's an Eclipse Panther! Not a flying mystical beast! "
Elder Hei almost spat blood.
The other party had borrowed his strength to charge into the Shrine of General Wudi and the shrine had collapsed immediately. It had charged out amidst the chaos and had actually reached a thousand feet high in the sky with a swoosh!
The clash of palms just now had made him feel that the other party's ability was definitely not as terrifying as it looked!
As long as he was given a chance to fight it head-on, he would definitely be able to take it down!
However, the other party had ascended into the sky!
Elder Hei could not help but think of a saying, "If you're so capable, why don't you ascend into the sky?"
Now, however …
All of a sudden, they were in an extremely awkward situation.
The others rolled their eyes as well.
Yes, you're right. That's not a flying mystical beast! However, the Eclipse Panther had a very strong ability to hover in the air. Of course, it could not fly thousands of miles away like a hawk or a roc.
However, it was still a piece of cake for it to stay in the air for a quarter of an hour!
They did not even have such a thing on their side. They could only rely on the experts to take turns to fly up and attack. With their strength, flying so high had basically cost them half of their cultivation base!
Fighting this Supreme Cloud would be like sending themselves to death!
Sending themselves to death!
In the sky, the Eclipse Panther carried Supreme Cloud on its back, flying in a straight line toward the west gate.
On the ground, the hundreds of thousands of people were dumbfounded.
They had been engaged in a brutal battle for almost a day, and this was the outcome?
The Siege Arrows and Deicide Bows fired a volley of arrows in vain, but the result was as expected. It was completely useless!
The seventeen or eighteen heaven realm experts stopped two hundred feet in the air, as if they were on display. It was not easy to go up; it was too embarrassing to go down.
This kind of awkward situation was too unbearable.
Elder Hei gathered everyone together. "There's only one way now!"
Another elder scoffed and said, "This old man knows Minister Hei's plan. It's nothing more than sending at least eight people up to form the Eight Gates Golden Locks Formation. These eight people will then use their life force to lock onto Supreme Cloud and prevent him from escaping, limiting his mobility as much as possible. Finally, four people will complete the kill, am I right?"
Another elder replied coldly, "Of course, this is indeed a plan. However, Elder Hei is naturally not a member of the Eight Gates Golden Locks Formation, am I right? The Eight Gates Golden Locks Formation is naturally formed by us. "
Elder Hei said sternly, "I'm not a selfish person. If I have to sacrifice myself in exchange for national peace, I won't hesitate to do so. However, I have the highest cultivation base here, so the damage I can do to Supreme Cloud will be the greatest! "
The others smirked without saying a word.
One of them chuckled. "That's right, my cultivation base is low, I deserve to die! I've let down the country and the people, alright? However, where did you, Elder Hei, come from to be so righteous? We have families, we have families, we have countless people we can sacrifice for, but you, Elder Hei, are only doing this for the country and the people? "
Elder Hei's face turned purple, murderous intent swirling around him.
Another person said, "What can we do even if Supreme Cloud leaves? We can kill the two mystical beasts down there. At the very least, we can cut off one of his arms! "
This was obviously nonsense. Two mystical beasts could cut off half of Supreme Cloud's arm? Everyone knew that it was impossible. Supreme Cloud had relied on the Nine Supremes' mystic arts to dominate the world; it had nothing to do with these mystical beasts.
In spite of this, the other dozen people agreed with him. "Not bad, not bad. This is a good idea."
"The two mystical beasts are too dangerous. They must be eradicated."
"Let's go down!"
The group charged down with high morale.
Only Elder Hei was left standing alone in the air.
Elder Hei stood there in shock, feeling that the sky above his head had turned black.
Below, the two mystical beasts were fighting valiantly in the midst of countless people. The Deicide arrows and Siege Bolts that could not harm Yun Yang were lethal to them.
Now, they were covered in wounds.
Yun Yang was in the sky, riding Whitey Three. With a glint in his eyes, he wanted to charge down. Based on the current situation, Yun Yang realized that he could leave unscathed!
As long as Whitey Three flew at a low altitude and turned invisible in his pocket, he would land and turn the bear and snake into miniature versions before soaring into the sky. With Whitey Three on his back, he could still ascend to his current height in the blink of an eye!
Then, he could leave.
Just as he was about to descend, he suddenly felt alarmed. A sense of extreme danger rose within him, sending chills down his spine.
Yun Yang urged Whitey Three to advance at full speed while he leaped up at the same time.
His reflexes were already considered top-notch in the world; he had already made evasive maneuvers as soon as he had a premonition.
However, it was still too late.
…
He did not want to write this chapter. There would be flaws in writing a character like this, making it seem imperfect.
Still, he wrote it.
It was impossible for a character to be flawless. Yun Yang was human too. He would be sad, impulsive, calculative, and hysterical at times …
He was finally coming to an end at this point.
This was Yun Yang's flaw. Sometimes, when he had been repressed for too long, he would explode and act impulsively.
He was not flawless. He did not know if all of you would like it.
