Outside Myriad City, there was an endless stretch of green mountains. There was a sea of pine trees, clear springs, and mystical rocks. Countless tiny animals shuttled through the forests, making it look like a thriving place.
However, in the midst of all the green mountains, Skyfire Sacred Hands was standing on a desolate mountain that did not have a single blade of grass.
An azure beam flashed as Yi Yun arrived in front of the mountain. He slowly landed and tapped his toes on the mountain peak, facing Skyfire Sacred Hands across the sky.
"Yi Yun, you have been a coward for more than twenty years. Now, you finally dare to come out." Skyfire Sacred Hands looked at Yi Yun, his eyes suffusing mockery and killing intent.
Over the past twenty-five years, he had betrayed his sect and lost his former reputation and status. All of this was thanks to Yi Yun.
Yi Yun looked coldly at Skyfire Sacred Hands. He sensed an extremely familiar aura from Skyfire Sacred Hands. Skyfire Sacred Hands was already half a demonic servant.
"Once I take you down, I will take away your fire seed and refine it for my own use. It will also resolve my mental demons. I will use your blood to forge my path to becoming a Demon Thearch!" Skyfire Sacred Hands let out a sharp shriek as he pounced at Yi Yun.
Ever since he was humiliated, Skyfire Sacred Hands had been accumulating resentment. After waiting for more than twenty years, he wanted to torture Yi Yun. He wanted Yi Yun to live a life worse than death. Only then could he vent his hatred.
Furthermore, if he were to cripple Yi Yun and hand him over to the Supremacy, he would definitely be rewarded handsomely.
With the Supremacy's status, he naturally would not be restricted to a tiny Myriad Divine Territory. He had left Skyfire Sacred Hands in charge of Myriad City for more than twenty years. Other than nurturing large numbers of demonic servants in the Myriad Divine Territory, he had another mission — to find Yi Yun for the red-haired man.
Skyfire Sacred Hands, who had suddenly pounced forward, was like a black owl. Terrifying energy enveloped the space around Yi Yun from afar.
At that moment, City Lord Qin and company were already more than five kilometers away. They happened to see Skyfire Sacred Hands engulf the entire mountain like a black cloud, dyeing the sky black. As for Skyfire Sacred Hands, his figure had fused into one with the black cloud, making it impossible to see his figure.
The strange aura left one shuddering. The sharp cry seemed to strike at one's soul.
City Lord Qin and company had already seen Skyfire Sacred Hands transform into a black shadow, but they never expected his attack to be so sinister.
Even Skyfire Sacred Hands's figure could not be seen. As for Yi Yun, he was enveloped by countless black clouds.
Against the overwhelming black cloud, a sword beam flashed in Yi Yun's hand as the broken sword suddenly tore through the sky.
Rumble!
The sound of the sword was like thunder, like an electric snake splitting the dark clouds.
The blue sky appeared once again as Yi Yun stood in mid-air. The broken sword in his hand hummed.
The Yuan Qi emitted from his body was pale gold, pure and ancient.
Following that, Yi Yun's aura seemed to turn ethereal. He was clearly standing there, but it felt like he was just a shadow.
This feeling shocked City Lord Qin and the others.
The dark clouds were split apart, but they quickly closed up again. A gigantic face appeared in the dark clouds. Its facial features were none other than Skyfire Sacred Hands's.
"Yi Yun, you have indeed improved quite a bit. Everyone says that you will definitely surpass a Divine Lord in the future. Killing a peerless genius like you is truly a wonderful feeling!" Skyfire Sacred Hands roared with laughter.
These were no ordinary dark clouds. They were formed from boundless demonic Qi. Typical warriors would have their lifeblood sucked away just from being touched by the black clouds, much less being enveloped by them. However, they had been dispersed by Yi Yun with a single strike.
Although his strike had failed, it was only the beginning for Skyfire Sacred Hands.
"Don't you have a way to restrain demonic servants? Today, I'll let you see what despair is! "
Skyfire Sacred Hands bellowed as the desolate mountain beneath him began to move. With a shrill demonic voice, demonic servant phantoms charged out of the mountain's belly and into the sky!
This scene caused everyone to be shocked. That wasn't a mountain at all!
They had originally discovered that the desolate mountain was filled with strange rocks and barren vegetation. They felt that something was amiss and that it was a trap. However, Yi Yun had gone in without a hitch. Qin Zhengyang and company were worried. They had planned on watching the battle from outside the city with their perception, but due to their worries, they had rushed over.
Now, they had verified their guesses. The mountain had been set up by Skyfire Sacred Hands a long time ago. There were large numbers of demonic servants gathered in the mountain, and these demonic servants had been nurtured by Skyfire Sacred Hands over the past two decades.
Although Yi Yun was powerful, it was too risky for him to charge straight into his opponent's trap. He was at a disadvantage.
At that moment, Yi Yun saw that the demonic servants had already flown into Skyfire Sacred Hands's body. They were like a phoenix rising to the sun. At the same time, Skyfire Sacred Hands's body rapidly expanded.
"Let's attack!"
Qin Zhengyang originally believed that he would force Skyfire Sacred Hands to retreat if he came too close. He could neither stop nor capture him, so it would be a waste of effort. But now, seeing Skyfire Sacred Hands send out thousands of demonic servants, he could not care less. The few of them had to join forces to scare Skyfire Sacred Hands away. Protecting Yi Yun was the safest course of action!
Instantly, Qin Zhengyang, Guiyuan Potian, and Perfected Qianhua flew towards Skyfire Sacred Hands. The distance of more than five kilometers was covered in a blink of an eye!
With his heavy sword in hand, Qin Zhengyang led the charge. A black sword beam tore through the land in an indomitable fashion!
Guiyuan Potian followed closely behind. He extended his two black hands in a bid to crush Skyfire Sacred Hands.
But at that moment, they saw the thousands of demonic servants gather together, forming a gigantic black sphere. Outside the sphere, demonic flames burned crazily. The surging energy was gathering towards Yi Yun at an unbelievable speed.
Skyfire Sacred Hands was long prepared. He had set up this area for a long time. He struck like lightning from the beginning, not giving Yi Yun any chance.
He believed that even if this strike did not kill Yi Yun, it would severely injure him!
However, at the instant the dark energy began to contract, Yi Yun suddenly stomped on the desolate mountain beneath his feet.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the Azure Wood Divine Tree's phantom image burst out behind Yi Yun. Its thick roots were like an azure python as they plunged into the desolate mountain's soil. Hu!
Hu! Hu!
Hu! The divine tree's roots burrowed chaotically as the main root split into thousands of thin roots. The thicker ones were as thick as a person's arm, while the thinner ones were thinner than a pinky finger. Soon, these roots covered the entire desolate mountain!
Above the roots, there was a dense azure mist rising. It was a natural manifestation of Yuan Qi being condensed to an extreme.
However, although these roots looked auspicious, they were extremely terrifying. Wherever they passed, demonic servants would let out tragic cries. Amidst the cries, there would be sizzling sounds as the demonic servants exploded into azure smoke.
This scene was like molten metal being poured into snowflakes. The snowflakes rapidly melted without any resistance.
