This slash is equally swift and fierce, carrying a terrifying sword intent, like a fire burning the sky, cleaving down from the air!
Not to ntion Wang Junze is exhausted, even in his peak state, he might not be able to block this ferocious strike.
However, Wang Junze never thought of blocking it himself.
Almost at the instant this slash ca over, a purple jade pendant appeared in Wang Junze’s hand, and without any hesitation, he directly crushed the jade pendant!
"Crack!"
The crisp sound of shattering suddenly sounded, and simultaneously, with the shattering of the jade pendant, a terrifying aura suddenly appeared, like a spring rain falling to the ground, instantly shrouding Wang Junze, easily blocking all attacks!
The terrifying sword aura and flas shattered into pure spiritual Qi upon touching these fine rains, swallowed by the jade pendant.
Heaven-Stepping!
No explanation needed, when this aura appeared, everyone could clearly understand, this was the aura and power of a Heaven-Stepping powerhouse!
So strong!
Previously, Su Yuwei had said when giving the jade pendant to Wang Junze that its power was enough to save his life, and it now seed Wang Junze had sowhat underestimated the power of the jade pendant.
The most terrifying aspect of this power was its vitality.
Though it’s impossible to support forever, it can easily last the ti of one incense stick.
In other words, within the ti of one incense stick, unless a Heaven-Stepping powerhouse intervenes, no one can think of killing Wang Junze during this ti!
Moreover, it’s not just Wang Junze, now this aura of fine rain also enveloped Lu Qing and Wang Xin.
It’s just that the ti of one incense stick is actually a bit short.
Back then, Su Yuwei said she would surely arrive within one incense stick of ti in Jubei City, which would be enough, but now Wang Junze is in Cloud Mirror Sect, even if Su Yuwei notices the jade pendant shattering, it’s unlikely she could arrive within one incense stick of ti.
Moreover, Su Yuwei also said she couldn’t leave Jubei City easily this ti.
And if it’s about fleeing during the ti of one incense stick, it’s totally unrealistic. Not to ntion the jade pendant’s power takes effect instantly upon release, forcibly moving the pendant would definitely reveal flaws, unable to maintain the perfect cycle, wouldn’t last that long.
Not to ntion, given Lu Qing’s severe injury and his own exhaustion, even descending the mountain within one incense stick’s ti would be unlikely, let alone escaping back to Jubei City.
"Just a dying struggle!"
Glaring at Wang Junze surrounded by fine rain, Liu Zongqing coldly spoke: "At most the ti of one incense stick, the power of the jade pendant will be exhausted. This short ti, do you think you can recover power or Lu Qing can heal? It is just letting you die a bit later!"
"Isn’t the ti of one incense stick enough?"
With a trace of contempt revealed in his eyes, Wang Junze proudly replied: "This is the treasure given to by the Commandery Princess for life-saving, once she notices the power of the jade pendant being released, she will arrive quickly. Even if you collude with the Deserters, so what? Can you block the attack of a Heaven-Stepping powerhouse?"
"Besides, don’t forget, apart from the Judgnt Departnt, there’s also Profound Moon Sword Sect... My swordsmanship that killed Yang Weidong was taught by the Saintess, do you think she’ll stand idly by?"
"Don’t listen to his nonsense, Su Yuwei and Luo Qingxuan will never leave Jubei City!" The leading Deserter sneered and swore again.
"Is that so?" Wang Junze sneered contemptuously and replied: "Liu Zongqing, do you dare to bet?"
Of course, Wang Junze knew Su Yuwei would not dare to co to Cloud Mirror Sect, but others didn’t know!
Neither Liu Zongqing nor these disciples of Cloud Mirror Sect had such insight, thus the pressure brought by the jade pendant would be infinitely amplified, enough to change their decisions.
For most people, they didn’t even know who Su Yuwei was, they could only guess that she must be an expert from the Judgnt Departnt.
Lu Qing himself was from the Judgnt Departnt, and it was also known by all that Wang Junze was favored by both the Judgnt Departnt and Profound Moon Sword Sect. Now, pulling out a jade pendant containing a Heaven-Stepping powerhouse’s aura shows how much importance the other party places on Wang Junze.
In this situation, who dares to say that the expert from the Judgnt Departnt won’t co to save Wang Junze and Lu Qing?!
"Liu Zongqing’s betrayal of the sect, he is no longer the Sect Leader. With my position as Law Enforcent Elder, I temporarily take over leadership of the sect!" One Cloud Mirror Sect elder made a resolute decision, speaking solemnly: "All within the sect, assist the Judgnt Departnt to resist Deserters, slay the traitor Liu Zongqing. Those who disobey will be deed sect traitors!"
Before speaking, the Cloud Mirror Sect Law Enforcent Elder took the lead and leapt to Wang Junze’s side, confronting Liu Zongqing and the Deserters once again.
Once soone took the lead, others naturally followed suit.
In an instant, most of Cloud Mirror Sect elders and disciples joined over.
Previously without any hope visible, they wavered, but as long as there’s a chance, who would want to abandon their identity as part of the Human Race, bear the stigma, and flee to the Extre North Wilderness?
After all, most Cloud Mirror Sect elders and disciples knew well, with their talent and strength, even if they defected to the Deserters, their value is limited. They can’t truly gain the Deserters’ favor. In contrast, if they help Lu Qing and Wang Junze get past this crisis, they would surely be richly rewarded.
With Liu Zongqing’s betrayal, the position of Sect Leader becos vacant, then these elders might have the chance to inherit the position of Sect Leader, controlling the sect!
The stakes are very high here, worth fighting for!
As more and more people made their choices, even those teetering Cloud Mirror Sect disciples followed the crowd and made choices, resulting in them taking the path alongside Liu Zongqing with only scant dozen people.
And these disciples were almost all core disciples of Liu Zongqing’s lineage, with this identity deciding, even if they weren’t aware of his betrayal beforehand, they had no other choice now. Otherwise, even if they survive, they’d face exclusion from others in the sect, so it’s better to gamble thoroughly.
Only now did Wang Junze feel a bit relieved.
No matter what, with the help of these Cloud Mirror Sect elders and disciples, the situation was stabilized for the ti being. As for whether they could survive next, it depended on scaring away these Deserters or... whether Luo Qingxuan and Yuan Shouyi would actually send soone to Cloud Mirror Sect to investigate.
"Do all that’s humanly possible and leave it to fate."
Though these words sound uninspiring, they were indeed all Wang Junze could do now.
The ti of one incense stick, not too long, not too short, depends on whether they can await new changes in this ti...
