The blade shadows turned into countless afterimages, almost impossible to see with the naked eye.
The entire stretch of void seed to split apart like tofu before everyone’s eyes.
Around Yu Chengkong, everything was shrouded in the storm of blades.
However, Yu Chengkong did not look tense. Instead, he stood proudly in place.
The black wings on his back gently flapped.
The entire void was easily frozen in place.
All the blade shadows, including Wang Yang himself, were completely immobilized.
"Competing with my Feather Race in speed?" Yu Chengkong chuckled.
Before his words had even fully fallen, no one saw what he did.
Wang Yang’s scream rang out.
His body fell from the air, a large bloody hole blooming in his chest.
"Senior Brother Wang!" Shi Yuyan cried out in alarm.
"First, keep him alive," Lu Ze took out a pill from his storage ring and placed it in Wang Yang’s mouth.
The mont the pill entered, a chill imdiately spread out.
Wang Yang’s entire body was frozen in ice.
"Is Senior Brother Wang Yang alright?" Shi Yuyan asked worriedly.
"I used an Ice Heart Pill to temporarily freeze him. He won’t die for now," Lu Ze shook his head and replied. "I’ll save him later. He should be fine."
After speaking, Lu Ze stepped forward, looking directly at Yu Chengkong.
"The reason we killed your Feather Race n just now was because they blocked our way up the mountain. They were in the wrong first," Lu Ze said lightly.
"I can’t be bothered to argue about this. Since you’re so arrogant, allow to test your skills."
"Gladly," Yu Chengkong smiled carelessly.
A powerful aura erupted from Lu Ze’s body.
It crushed the surrounding void instantly.
Immortal energy enveloped Lu Ze, his blood surging in reverse, making him look like a true immortal descended into the world.
His figure was towering and impossible to look up to.
Seeing this, the light disdain in Yu Chengkong’s eyes finally gave way to a slightly serious expression.
He had thought these people were just so disciples from Mortal Immortal Sacred Ground seeking attention.
He hadn’t expected there to be soone truly formidable among them.
...
"Aren’t you going to make a move?" Monk Great Wisdom looked at Xu Zimo and smiled.
"Soone wants the spotlight, we shouldn’t stop them," Xu Zimo shook his head slightly.
In both reason and etiquette, this was sothing Lu Ze should handle. Xu Zimo couldn’t very well take action for Mortal Immortal Sacred Ground’s grievances.
The sound of wind whistled past their ears.
Lu Ze charged toward Yu Chengkong.
Dressed in purple robes with wide sleeves that seed able to hold all things, his right palm turned into a blade and slashed down.
The space before him was completely annihilated under that strike.
With a crack, the void shattered, but Yu Chengkong turned into an afterimage, easily evading the blow.
His wings flapped, freezing the void once more.
This was one of the Feather Race’s advantages, once wings reached a certain level, they could not only be used for flight but for other purposes as well.
Freezing the void was one of them.
When Lu Ze’s figure was locked in place, Yu Chengkong spread his wings fully.
All the feathers on his wings fell, floating in the void, transforming into countless sharp arrows shooting toward Lu Ze.
"Can that Senior Brother Lu Ze of yours handle this?" Rock Solid asked skeptically.
"You don’t need to worry about that. Senior Brother Lu is one of the top three among the younger generation of our Mortal Immortal Sacred Ground," Shi Yuyan said.
"A genius that strong, do you think he’d help you for no reason? There’s sothing unusual about your relationship, isn’t there?" Rock Solid asked.
Hearing this, Tan Qingqing stepped forward and smiled: "Junior Sister Yuyan is blessed.
Senior Brother Lu is deeply devoted to her. Who in the entire Mortal Immortal Sacred Ground doesn’t know? It’s just that Junior Sister Yuyan has remained calm and never given him any answer."
There was a trace of envy in Tan Qingqing’s tone. After all, a genius like Lu Ze was also soone she admired.
Feeling uneasy was only natural.
"Senior Sister Tan, don’t speak nonsense. Senior Brother Lu and I are just ordinary fellow disciples," Shi Yuyan’s face was a little embarrassed, but she still replied directly.
"Ordinary fellow disciples? Do you think Senior Brother Lu would get himself involved in the ss of your Stone Race then?" Tan Qingqing countered.
Shi Yuyan was montarily speechless and did not answer again.
Although they were indeed just fellow disciples, both of them knew in their hearts that Lu Ze liked her.
"Our Stone Race is very grateful for your help, but if you have other intentions, I think it’s unnecessary," Rock Solid suddenly said from the side. "Our Saintess will never sacrifice herself for minor benefits. If she likes soone, she likes them. If she doesn’t, then she doesn’t."
Rock Solid’s aning was simple: If soone truly had the ability to save the Stone Race, they would of course be willing to pay a price. As long as it was within their bottom line, they could accept it.
But if they couldn’t save the Stone Race and just ca to stir things up and pretend to help, expecting them to be grateful, then there was no need.
In Rock Solid’s view, unless Mortal Immortal Sacred Ground itself intervened, they still had hope.
But if Lu Ze and the others only represented themselves and not Mortal Immortal Sacred Ground, they were of no help in the current situation.
And if they still harbored intentions toward the Saintess without being able to help, that was truly unacceptable.
"My affairs are none of your business," Shi Yuyan retorted stubbornly after hearing Rock Solid’s words.
"I’m just afraid you’ll seek help blindly out of desperation," Rock Solid replied flatly.
"Why do you talk like that?" Tan Qingqing snorted coldly from the side. "We’re helping you out of goodwill, is that wrong? Honestly, we shouldn’t have co here."
"If you’re genuinely here to help, our Stone Race will treat you as honored guests, and you’ll be my lifelong benefactors," Rock Solid said seriously. "But if you harbor ulterior motives toward our Saintess, forgive for not welcoming you."
Hearing this, Shi Yuyan’s face flushed slightly for so reason.
Xu Zimo, watching, found it amusing.
These two, Rock Solid and Shi Yuyan, had just been bickering and at odds with each other, but the next mont they were secretly concerned for one another.
To say there was nothing going on between them, he wouldn’t believe it himself.
The few from Mortal Immortal Sacred Ground looked blue with anger but had no way to refute.
Senior Brother Lu Ze had indeed co here for Shi Yuyan, hoping to win her heart.
And they were here simply to ride on Lu Ze’s coattails.
As for the life and death of the Stone Race, what did that have to do with them?
That was exactly why Rock Solid disliked them. If they had the ability to save the Stone Race, having other motives would be understandable.
After all, in this world, interests co first.
But without the ability and still having improper intentions, that was going too far.
"Hey, do you like that Shi Yuyan?" Xu Zimo patted Rock Solid’s shoulder and asked with a low chuckle.
Rock Solid’s body instantly stiffened. He hurriedly said in a flustered tone: "What are you talking about? She… she’s my lifelong rival. How could I possibly like her?"
