A huge ray of light flew down from the sky, carrying a suffocating aura as it ruthlessly pierced towards He Yiming's body.
The white-haired elder's face changed. He also tried his best to use his strongest attack to stop He Yiming, who was recklessly charging at Fang Cheng.
Nevertheless, He Yiming turned a blind eye to the light in the sky. He arrived in front of Fang Cheng in a single step and gently turned the Five Element Ring in his hand as the elder looked fearful, desperate, and regretful …
The light above his head finally fell, piercing his chest fiercely.
With a loud bang, the True Qi armor on He Yiming's body suddenly burst open.
The armor's defensive power was remarkable, but it was not tough enough against a full-powered attack from a Great Venerable with 5 Qis Unification.
However, that was the end of the light.
A crisp and melodious sound of gold and jade rang out. This ray of light that could shatter the Zhen Qi armor had encountered an even stronger resistance at this time and could not advance any further.
The elder had a ghastly look on his face, but he was extremely shocked. He was very confident about his attack.
As long as he could kill He Yiming on the spot, losing Fang Cheng would not be unacceptable.
In any case, Fang Cheng wasn't his junior or disciple. If he died under He Yiming's method of mutual destruction, no one would be able to blame him.
Despite that, the final outcome of the attack was beyond his expectations. The fatal attack could not penetrate He Yiming's body as it was forcefully blocked by something.
He Yiming's body frantically retreated. Borrowing this force, the tip of his foot lightly tapped on the ground. Immediately, like a gust of wind, he swept towards the distance without a trace.
He initially came here in a spurt of energy because he thought there were only Hao Xue and the other 2 Venerable Ones. If there were only the 3 of them, He Yiming would definitely kill them one by one.
However, a Great Venerable with 5 Qis Unification had suddenly appeared. He Yiming would be an idiot if he still wanted to fight them to the death.
After successfully killing a target by luck, He Yiming made a prompt decision to turn and flee. He was not willing to stay and be a target anymore.
The elder's face was ghastly pale. A light flashed on his body and enveloped him as he soared into the sky and chased in the direction He Yiming left.
He did not glance in Fang Cheng's direction at all, because he could already sense that Fang Cheng's presence of life had completely vanished. There was not a single trace of it left.
Hao Xue took a step forward and arrived next to Fang Cheng as if he was flying. He widened his eyes and looked at Fang Cheng in disbelief. His lips trembled, and his mind was in a mess.
Zhan Xuan's eyes were filled with fear. He stared blankly in the direction He Yiming had left in as he trembled intensely.
He actually dared to take the initiative to attack four Venerable Ones. Moreover, he was stopped by a Great Venerable with 5 Qis Unification, yet he still left proudly after killing one of them.
Even the divine weapon controlled by his master couldn't hurt him in the slightest.
He Yiming, he had actually become so powerful ….
Fang Cheng exhaled deeply. It was the last breath he would exhale in his life.
When he exhaled, his body immediately stiffened and fell backward.
Hao Xue reached out and pulled him into his embrace. His eyes were filled with sorrow and anger that could not be vented no matter what.
After a long time, he looked up. His voice was cold and emotionless.
"Brother Zhan, where's the He Clan Village?"
Zhan Xuan could not help but shiver. After hearing the hatred in Hao Xue's words, he immediately understood Hao Xue's plan. However, the thought caused him to be endlessly terrified.
"Brother Hao, do you still remember the rules between us Venerable Ones?" Zhan Xuan asked in a deep voice, "I hate him even more than you do, but if you want to attack his family, nobody will help you when He Yiming destroys your Hao family in the future."
Zhan Xuan's words were like a bucket of cold water that was poured over Hao Xue's head, causing his hatred to dissipate by more than half.
He threw out a heavy punch and hit the ground hard. After a loud bang, a big hole appeared on the ground.
A faint luster flickered in his eyes, and his aura became extremely frightening at this moment.
Throughout his life, there were only two people who could get along with him and keep up with his progress.
They were Zhu Guanhao and Fang Cheng.
However, Zhu Guanhao had never walked out of the Crying Ghost Ridge ever since. Now, Fang Cheng, the only person he could confide in, had also died in front of him.
This series of blows filled his heart with intense anger and hatred for his own helplessness.
Hao Xue did not know that the feeling he was feeling was very similar to the rage He Yiming felt in the sea of light.
Slowly, the anger and ferocious aura on his body became denser and denser. It had even reached a terrifying level.
Zhan Xuan was dumbfounded as he looked at the silent Hao Xue. He did not understand what had happened to the sorrowful man. Even so, he could vaguely sense something.
Hao Xue seemed to have undergone a subtle change, but as for what kind of change it was, it was not something he could guess.
After a long time, Hao Xue slowly stood up. He gently took Fang Cheng's jade flute and held it tightly in front of his chest.
"Brother Fang, just you wait, I'll use your weapon to kill him myself." Hao Xue muttered to himself. Then, he raised his head and let out a roar filled with ferocity and ruthlessness.
His voice spread far and wide, scaring the birds and beasts in the forest. They fled far away and did not dare to return to their homes for a few months.
Zhan Xuan's face changed. He looked at Hao Xue, who seemed to have gone mad, with a hint of respect in his eyes.

He Yiming's speed and reaction were extremely fast. He immediately fled as soon as he attacked. His movements were as smooth as flowing water, and he was not sloppy at all.
He had witnessed how powerful the Five Qi Venerable One was.
Although He Yiming's current strength was far superior to that of an ordinary Venerable One, he was not confident of winning against the Five-qi Venerable One who could fly in the sky and attack with his flying sword.
In a situation where he could not hit his enemy and could only passively take a beating, he did not have a chance of winning at all. Hence, he turned around and left without hesitation.
He tapped the tips of his toes on the ground and flew away. At the same time, he gently touched his chest and took out the jade plate that he initially placed there.
He had calculated his position when he took the risk to take the white-haired elder's attack.
Even if his essential Qi armor could not block the elder's flying sword, the jade plate in front of his chest could protect him.
Although he didn't know the origin of the jade plate, he knew how tough it was. Even he couldn't break that mysterious jade.
It was because of the jade plate that he managed to take the elder's attack.
He sighed a breath of relief when he scanned the jade plate in his hand. The entire jade plate was still intact. That incomparably sharp sword did not even leave a single mark on it.
Even though he already had a premonition, but after he proved the toughness of this item, his heart was also filled with emotions. Moreover, he was even more certain that this item was definitely related to the people of the divine path. Otherwise, human path experts would definitely not be able to forge such a miraculous item.
He Yiming smiled bitterly when he felt a slight pain in his chest. The fierce sword Qi finally made him suffer a strong impact, causing him to be slightly injured.
He quickly retrieved a jade bottle from his pocket. It was a supreme healing medicine given to him by Fan Shuo the Venerable One from the Blessed and Heavenly Abode. He Yiming had always cherished it, but he would not be stingy in this situation.
He Yiming kept his speed as he opened the bottle's cap and consumed a pill. Following that, he put the bottle and the jade plate into his pocket at the same time.
The clothes on his chest were torn, but it did not affect him much. At the very least, the items would not fall.
After He Yiming completed the series of actions in an extremely short time, an enormous pressure that made one's scalp numb came from above his head.
He Yiming picked up the Five-element Ring without any hesitation and placed it on the back of his head.
"Ding …"
Following a soft sound, the flying sword flashed and flew backward. It was only then that a sharp whistling sound was heard.
He Yiming thought, 'This old fella has caught up to me indeed.' Nonetheless, He Yiming did not find it strange because he had killed a Venerable One right under the old man's nose. If the old man remained indifferent, he would find it unbelievable.
A light flashed again, and the old man made a comeback at the speed of lightning.
Who knew, He Yiming turned the Five-element Ring, which did not have any luster at all, and placed it on his right shoulder.
A clear sound was heard again as the caveman's sword was blocked by He Yiming again.
At this point, the old man, who was flying in mid-air, finally had a strange look in his eyes.
He attacked 4 times in total, but other than the time when He Yiming killed Fang Cheng, the other 3 flying swords were easily blocked by He Yiming.
Moreover, the old man blocked the swords in a rather peculiar way. It seemed like he could predict the swords' paths in advance, and he placed the Five-element Ring in the most appropriate place at the most appropriate time.
As a result, all of the old man's flying swords returned in vain. Moreover, Yiming had the urge to vomit blood.
He raised his eyebrows and had a murderous look on his face.
If He Yiming escaped this time, not only would he be utterly humiliated, but he would also not be able to raise his head in front of others anymore. Besides, it would be difficult for him to find such a good opportunity to kill the old man openly.
Therefore, a fierce look flickered in his eyes as if he had made up his mind.
Who knew, it was then when 2 figures appeared in front of him. He was overjoyed when he took a closer look. (To be continued. If you'd like to know what happens next, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
