Venerable Supreme of Myriad Dragons

As Gu Muyun saw the commotion growing, with more and more female disciples emerging, the situation spiraled. Her expression only grew darker.

SHING!

With the crisp ring of a blade leaving its sheath, Gu Muyun simply lifted the sword in her hand.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

A dozen brilliant white sword lights materialized around Shen Daoxing in an instant.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Several large trees were instantly cleaved in two, right down the middle, and came crashing down.

Startled, Shen Daoxing threw himself backward, narrowly dodging a beam of sword light.

He then abruptly picked up speed, bolting toward the edge of the Suspended Island.

However, he had just taken a single step.

RUMBLE!

Another colossal beam of sword light, as if from Tianze himself, slammed down, cutting horizontally to block Shen Daoxing’s path.

Shen Daoxing skidded to a halt, then pushed off the ground with all his might, launching himself into the air.

Just then, Shen Daoxing felt an immense radiance erupt behind him. A sacred, divine aura washed over the area as the entire sky blazed with light.

He couldn’t help but look back. A colossal Golden Body Dharma Aspect had manifested—so immense it seemed to touch the heavens—radiating a celestial, otherworldly aura.

The figure resembled a fairy descended from the heavens. Its gossamer robes drifted slowly in the sky, suffused with a holy aura that made it feel inviolate, sacrosanct.

Gu Muyun had directly unleashed her Heaven and Earth ability.

’She’s serious!’

Shen Daoxing’s heart leaped into his throat.

A streak of white light shot past him.

RUMBLE!

With an explosive roar, Shen Daoxing saw that a waterfall ahead of him had been cleaved down the middle by a single sword strike, sending water spraying in all directions. The massive mountain behind the falls had also been split in two, accompanied by a thunderous roar.

Ha!

’This Gu Muyun isn’t holding back at all.’

Not far away, a woman in yellow perched atop a tree watched Shen Daoxing’s frantic escape, unable to stop laughing.

"Hee hee hee, Gu Muyun is the Frost Fairy, alright. She’s so ruthless! Hee hee hee... My dear little junior brother, this is a golden opportunity. You’d better seize it! A woman who seems so cold and merciless is always the most devoted once she falls in love."

As she spoke, the woman in yellow glanced around, clearly enjoying the drama and eager for more.

However, just as she looked away...

A black shadow flickered, and Shen Daoxing appeared behind her without any warning.

The woman in yellow started, her figure blurring as she shot forward. But she had barely moved when the Great Ming Demon Sparrow materialized in front of her, already waiting.

She faltered, then shot upward. At that moment, however, the sky abruptly dimmed. A massive Venerable Dharma Seal descended, crashing down toward her.

Stunned, the woman in yellow flicked her sleeve. The Mountain and River Ink Scroll Map flew out and unfurled slowly in the sky, casting a beam of light down upon her.

Bathed in a shimmering radiance, her form grew translucent as she prepared to escape.

Just then, Shen Daoxing reappeared at her side, his hand shooting out to grab her wrist.

BZZZT!

Black arcs of electricity flashed across his grip.

"Aargh!"

The woman in yellow cried out as the light enshrouding her shattered. The Mountain and River Ink Scroll Map tumbled from the sky, and her form solidified once more.

"Oh, my dear little junior brother, what are you doing? You’re hurting me! Don’t you know you should be gentle with a lady? No junior sister will ever like you if you’re this rough, you know?"

The woman in yellow’s voice suddenly turned sweet and coy, her eyes dancing flirtatiously.

Shen Daoxing, however, was completely unmoved. His gaze remained glacial. "This is all your doing!"

Her face bloomed into a smile. "Oh, little junior brother, you’ve misunderstood me. I did all of this for you, to create an opportunity with Junior Sister Muyun. A chance this good, you really must seize it."

Shen Daoxing ignored her, his voice flat and cold. "Hand over the Jade Token."

"Huh? What Jade Token? Little junior brother, what are you talking about?" the woman in yellow continued to feign ignorance.

Shen Daoxing’s grip on her wrist tightened, and black arcs of electricity began to CRACKLE to life.

Seeing this, the woman in yellow simply gave Shen Daoxing a meaningful smile.

Shen Daoxing froze.

Behind him, Gu Muyun’s colossal Golden Body Dharma Aspect had appeared.

The next moment, an immense, silver-white beam of sword light shot out, so vast it seemed capable of cleaving heaven and earth in two.

Shen Daoxing’s eyes widened. He spun around and crossed his arms defensively in front of his chest.

BANG!

The massive beam of sword light slammed into Shen Daoxing’s crossed arms.

SCREEE!

A shower of sparks erupted from the friction as Shen Daoxing was sent flying backward, borne by the immense pressure of the sword light.

Seizing the opportunity, the woman in yellow dissolved into a swarm of colorful butterflies.

"Hee hee hee... My dear little junior brother, I worked so hard to create this chance for you. Do your best! This senior sister will be on her way."

A sweet laugh echoed in Shen Daoxing’s ear, and then the swarm of colorful butterflies scattered into the distant sky and vanished from sight.

Meanwhile, Shen Daoxing was driven backward by the colossal beam of light, flying a great, great distance until he was finally clear of the Suspended Island and came to a stop.

But just as Shen Daoxing thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief...

...Gu Muyun’s colossal Golden Body Dharma Aspect took a single leap, clearing the Suspended Island entirely and hurtling straight for him.

Alarmed, Shen Daoxing shouted, "Great Ming Demon Sparrow!"

An arc of black light flashed, and the Great Ming Demon Sparrow materialized beneath Shen Daoxing’s feet.

Shen Daoxing controlled the Flying Sword beneath his feet and shot away in a hurry.

However, Gu Muyun’s colossal Golden Body Dharma Aspect was right behind him, standing atop a massive Flying Sword of its own as it gave chase.

The bright moon hung high in a star-dusted sky, and one Suspended Island after another appeared as hazy silhouettes in the mist. At this moment, a magnificent, holy figure of light relentlessly chased a tiny silhouette, darting between the various islands in a high-stakes pursuit.

With a commotion this massive, it would be impossible for the entire Cyan Nether Sword Sect not to notice.

’That madwoman!’

’Is it really necessary for her to hunt me down like this?’

While using Sword Control, Shen Daoxing glanced back at Gu Muyun’s massive, frosty Dharma Golden Body, bewildered.

’What in the world did that woman in yellow do to Gu Muyun?’

Venerable Invincible, Huangliang’s Moment!

With a single thought, Shen Daoxing activated the ability. Everything around him seemed to grind to a halt.

But behind him, Gu Muyun continued her pursuit at an incredible speed.

Huangliang’s Moment!

In reality, the technique only stretched time; it didn’t bring everything to a complete standstill.

Anyone fast enough could simply ignore its effects.

Seeing that he couldn’t shake Gu Muyun no matter what he tried...

...Shen Daoxing was out of options. With a SPLASH, he dove straight into Yun Meng Lake.
