Yun Yang's thoughts spun rapidly.
'He's already gone from the south to the north, but he didn't find anything. He won't make the same mistake again. He'll only sweep the south again later.'
'Therefore, the place he's swept through isn't safe anymore. I can't stay here anymore.'
Yun Yang steeled his heart, his wind manifestation continued to head north. The sword light flashed once more in the south, flashing a dozen times before it stopped.
Yun Yang had already traveled almost ten thousand feet away.
Seeing that the other party's attack had stopped, Yun Yang slowed down his movements as well. Looking from afar, the strange sword light continued to wreak havoc just as the movement in the south stopped.
'The time interval is too short. Mr. Nian is still suspicious of the other side. He's intelligent and adaptable … '
Yun Yang sighed subconsciously.
The current situation was that Yun Yang had a chance to escape. As long as he could get fifty thousand feet away from Mr. Nian's sword energy, Yun Yang would be able to escape unscathed!
In spite of this, he would never be able to get out of this fifty thousand feet radius of sword light in such a short period of time.
As long as there was a mistake in judgment, or even if Mr. Nian had hit him by chance, the situation would take a turn for the worse.
As for Mr. Nian, after sweeping the south for the second time, he changed the direction of his attack again. Yun Yang guessed that this time, it would be an all-encompassing, indiscriminate attack.
There was only one relatively safe place for such a move – the south that Mr. Nian had just swept through twice!
Yun Yang moved swiftly, rushing towards the area that was being ravaged by the lingering sword light.
This was a battle of wits.
Both parties were highly intelligent. The only difference was that if Mr. Nian had guessed wrongly, Yun Yang would have a chance to escape. Still, it was only a chance.
If Yun Yang had guessed wrongly, he would be targeted by Mr. Nian's sword light and turned into dust!
Yun Yang's bet was his life. He was betting with his very life.
On one hand, Yun Yang controlled his deific consciousness subtly and was even more careful in his manifestation to ensure that he did not emit any suspicious aura. On the other hand, he was trying his best to avoid the lingering power of the sword energy.
Almost like a moth flying into a flame, he rushed towards the atmosphere that was filled with remnant flames and embers.
Furthermore, this wave of actions had to be fast, fast, fast!
However, if he was too fast, he would be destroyed by the sword light the moment he crashed into it. If he was too slow, he would be smashed into the sword light net on the spot by Mr. Nian who had turned around.
His grasp of propriety had indeed reached an unimaginable level.
On the other side, the lingering sword light was still shining like a silver snake. Yun Yang was already close to the edge of the black hole that had been sliced open by the sword light.
It was as if the two of them had an appointment.
Yun Yang stepped in and the sword light disappeared.
Yun Yang entered the area of the black hole unscathed. The space crackled as it gradually recovered. Yun Yang, who was in the state of a breeze, was inconspicuous.
On the other side, the continuous, indiscriminate, and bizarre sword light attacks arrived as expected.
Mr. Nian struck again!
Even for Mr. Nian, this attack should be considered an all-out effort. Yun Yang could acutely sense that this might be his only chance of survival in this battle.
It was at this moment that he suddenly changed his direction. Still trying his best not to make any noise, he dived down at full speed!
If he were to remain high up in the sky, the other party would be able to force him out sooner or later.
The only thing he could do now was to risk landing on the ground and shake off the suppression of the other party's high-altitude territory.
Yun Yang plummeted to the ground like a meteor.
Behind him, the sword light was still wreaking havoc. The snowflakes and dark clouds that were drifting down from the sky were torn into pieces as the sword light struck from every space.
Thousands of sword lights and strands of sword qi were still mixed with long sword lights, and they flickered horizontally and vertically in the air. They rose and fell, and they seemed to be endless.
Yun Yang was less than five hundred feet from the ground when the sword light that was wreaking havoc in the air suddenly stopped.
It had stopped without warning.
Then, the sword light flashed again as it turned around and plunged downwards. With a loud boom, the accumulated thick snow on the ground rose into the air. Every snowflake turned into sharp sword energy with that loud boom!
The land within a ten-mile radius was completely sliced apart!
The attack was even more ferocious than before!
The other party had actually guessed Yun Yang's current plan!
Fortunately, Yun Yang had anticipated the change and was prepared for it at the same time. However, when he was personally hit by the wave of attack, Yun Yang still felt that his body was riddled with holes. It was worse than being sliced into pieces.
There was no other reason but the attack's range was too wide and the attack was relatively concentrated.
Of course, more importantly, Yun Yang was hit by the attack as expected. This was one of the keys to his escape from this battle!
Yun Yang forcefully suppressed the urge to faint. As the attack landed quietly on the ground, he activated the Holy Water Charm immediately.
Many water droplets seemed to have melted due to the sudden change in the snow on the ground and fell into the layer of snow below.
The sword energy in the sky continued to fall towards the forest. Almost every inch of land was flipped over by the continuous sword light. Anything that was hit by the sword light and sword energy, even a snowflake, was shattered into pieces!
The trees that were covered in snow seemed to have encountered the greatest calamity in the world. Not a single one of them was spared.
None of them were spared.
An indifferent voice rang out for the first time. "Supreme Cloud, I know you're in this snowfield!"
Yun Yang was currently under the layer of snow. Although he had seeped into the ground due to his water manifestation, he could still feel new wounds on his body. He held it in forcefully, allowing Emmie's spatial spiritual force to replenish and repair his wounds without interruption …
He was trying his best to keep himself from fainting due to his poor physical condition.
As for the voices from the outside world, he ignored them completely.
If he fainted now, everything would be over. You can say whatever you want. Since you're so capable, I'll let you run your mouth!
The creaking of the snow outside indicated that someone had landed on the snowy ground and was currently walking over in a slow and graceful manner.
The voice was still speaking freely.
The voice was elegant and composed, containing an unparalleled authority that controlled the world and a sense of superiority over the common people. It was as if the person who was speaking had the power to decide the life and death of all living beings in this world.
"You're very smart. Even your spiritual sense is unusually sensitive. You can actually sense the impending danger in advance. This is something I admire very much. "
As the person spoke, there were still countless sword energy hissing out.
Like Yun Yang had predicted, he could not pinpoint Yun Yang's exact location after his manifestation, but his attack range still encompassed Yun Yang.
He was certain that Yun Yang's current location was within fifty thousand feet of where he stood.
Therefore, he had never struck out a single strike beyond this range.
It was as if he was certain that this Supreme Cloud must be within the boundary he had drawn.
That elegant voice continued to ring out, like two old friends chatting.
"Such spiritual sense is very precious. In my life, I've seen people with such spiritual sense. If they were martial artists, they would be unparalleled experts; if they were in the military, they would be peerless marshals; if they were in the bureaucracy, they would be famous officials. "
"Such spiritual sense is the most precious gift God has given to mankind. It's irreplaceable."
"Actually, everyone basically has this kind of spiritual sense. They're born with it. However, looking at the entire world, those who can use this spiritual sense flexibly are definitely not more than a hundred people since the beginning of time. As for today's world, they are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. "
"As for your second strength, it's intelligence! I've rarely seen a young man as intelligent, resourceful, scheming, and shrewd as you. You've done very well, very well indeed. "
The sword light hissed …
"Having intelligence doesn't equate to being resourceful; having intelligence and resourcefulness doesn't equate to being resourceful. Those who have all three may not necessarily be shrewd and scheming … but you have all of these."
"The Nine Supremes' think-tank lives up to his reputation."
"It's commendable that you could capture my people one by one and kill them one by one when you were still weak. However, what I value more is that you've ensured not to expose your true identity throughout the series of actions … Even I have to admit that I admire you for this."
"If I were in your shoes, I might not have the confidence to do what you've done."
"You're Supreme Cloud, the Nine Supremes' think-tank, but you've disguised yourself as Supreme Wind and Supreme Flame, reinvigorating your reputation with wind and fire. You've even hidden your true self in the mist, forsaking your name and disregarding your reputation. This alone isn't something that anyone can do."
"However, this isn't what I admire the most about you. Just now, we only had a short exchange of blows. Although you didn't see me and I didn't see you, you had an accurate grasp of my mentality. You've been avoiding my blind spots, walking the line between life and death. "
"Not only that, you could even make use of my blind spots to find an opportunity for yourself to escape. The gap between our cultivation bases is as wide as heaven and earth, but you could predict my every step and come to this. How rare! How rare indeed! "
"Supreme Cloud, you're truly a genius!"
The elegant voice outside sighed, as if it was filled with pity for the 'Supreme Cloud' it spoke of.
In spite of this, the hissing sound of sword energy had never stopped throughout his long speech. During this period of time, Yun Yang felt that he had been brushed past by the sword energy at least a dozen times.
Yes, it had merely brushed past, but it had already caused more severe damage to Yun Yang. The sword energy's point of origin was his soul. The excruciating pain that came from the soul went straight to the depths of his consciousness. It was more excruciating than an ordinary physical injury, so excruciating that it could not be any more agonizing!
"If I had a choice, I'd prefer to take you in as my assistant and not kill you."
The voice outside sighed in melancholy. "It's a pity that I have to kill you."
"Our standpoints are completely different, creating a deadlock. I wonder if you want to know why I must kill the Nine Supremes?"
Yun Yang's heart almost stopped beating when the question was tossed out. He almost blurted it out and questioned the person face to face.
Because this was the biggest mystery in his heart.
However, he dared not react at all now.
The voice outside continued, "The Nine Supremes and I have no enmity in the past or in the present. I've set up layers of traps and ambushed them at Tianxuan Cliff, obviously intending to annihilate all of the Nine Supremes. How can there be no reason for this?"
"I guess you must be very confused about this as well? Have you always been confused? "
The person outside seemed to be talking to himself.
However, Yun Yang knew that this was a psychological attack!
He was purposely talking about the things he was interested in, with the aim of triggering an unusual fluctuation in his soul.
With the other party's profound cultivation base and divine means, as long as Yun Yang made any movement, he would be the first to notice it. By then, there would be no chance of survival and he would die for sure!
Yun Yang forcefully suppressed his thoughts, keeping his body still and unmoving.
The voice continued elegantly, "I know you understand what I mean, but you're obviously someone who knows how to control yourself. You're very rational and know what's the right choice to make, only then will you have a chance of survival. However, this reputed one wants to tell you that it's useless."
"You must be very curious as to how I can be sure that you're within this area."
"Including when we were high up in the sky just now. It was because I had confirmed your position, that you were within a certain area. That was why I attacked so brazenly and limited the area of my attack. Aren't you curious about this?"
"No matter how you hide, no matter how you compromise, I won't leave until you die."
The person outside smiled faintly. "As long as you're still alive, I can feel that this battle will not end until one of us dies."
"I know you're waiting for me to lose my patience, to doubt my own judgment, and to leave in disappointment. However, I want to tell you that your hope will never come true. "
"Even if you don't move for a year, I'll stay here and guard for a year!"
The elegant voice outside said faintly, without the slightest hint of anger. There was even a hint of a smile in it. "If one year isn't enough, then ten years is fine. I can afford it. I really can afford it!"
"So, you have no luck in this battle. Even if you're wise and resourceful, you can't make up for the difference in ability! Supreme Cloud, if you come out now, I'll dispel all the doubts in your heart and let you die without regrets. "
"On the other hand, if you persist in hiding and don't come out, there's only one outcome – to rot here with endless questions and regrets, to be left as a corpse."
"I believe you know who I am. You're right."
The voice outside sneered. "I'm the person you want to kill the most, Mr. Nian of the Four Seasons Tower!"
