Cough! Cough!
Zhen Ru reappeared outside, her slim body shivering. She clutched her chest and coughed her lungs out, dark blood slowly dripping through the slits between her fingers.
She had fear in her eyes for the first time as she looked at Shi Yan, who was like a still rock, from a distance. However, she didn’t dare to seize the chance and attack him.
Slowly, a terrifying aura arose by Shi Yan. Zhen Ru could feel him getting stronger after each second!
Zhen Ru felt insecure, hesitating whether to leave or stay. At the same time, she was baffled.
Even though she was pierced through, her body wouldn’t perish because of the horrible wound. But, if she continued to fight, the wound would be torn further. It was so bad that she had planned a lot of things but now had to run away helter-skelter. She didn’t want it, as she still wanted to try a battle with Shi Yan.
She turned to watch the battle between Cantecie and Mei Ji instinctively. It was a place where wind and snow twirled, and she couldn’t see clearly.
Although the others couldn’t watch the battle because of the hindered vision, it wasn’t really tough for Zhen Ru at the Second Sky of Territory Ancestor Realm. She observed for a while and felt a little safer as she found that Cantecie had the upper hand in that snowy, windy area. Mei Ji was burning her life to fight, and would be killed soon.
She saw a slight hope, so she was more determined to stay.
Right at this moment, Shi Yan suddenly opened his eyes, which contained a mysterious, dark area. It seemed to be the borderless sea of stars where were hid the ultimate secret of this world.
That light column…
Zhen Ru was shaken hard. She drilled in Shi Yan’s eyes as unlimited desire churned in her heart!
Oh, still got the guts to linger! Haha…
Shi Yan licked the corners of his mouth, grinning fiendishly. His eyes weren’t crimson anymore, his face harsh and brutal. He appeared with no sign of bedevilment.
Almost at the same time, numerous massive space sabers emerged in the void of the Phantom Clan, uniting into a several-thousand-meters tall saber. It was a giant space sword!
Shi Yan lifted his head up. The giant space sword hovered above his head, halving the void there.
He raised a finger, pointing at Zhen Ru. As a result, the space broadsword hacked on Zhen Ru, the terrifying space energy splitting the space here. Inside that massive space slit was the cold and desolate aura that chilled and frightened people to their souls.
Territory Ancestor! Second Sky of Territory Ancestor! He has broken through…
Zhen Ru sighed bitterly while looking at the space broadsword slashing across the void. While pondering, she made a quick decision, turning into a thin wisp of smoke and disappearing.
Shi Yan hovered still, his face indifferent.
Not that simple.
The giant space sword was utterly sharp as it tore the space, flying after Zhen Ru. The space in its way was split apart, and a formidable trench was created as the sword moved. It looked like a world of eternal loneliness was created by his slash.
Shi Yan didn’t mind the space sword much as he had left a Soul Seal on it. It could kill the enemy on its own. He opened his eyes, gazing at the turbulent area of wind and snow where Cantecie and Mei Ji were fighting.
Hurry! Save Madam Mei Ji!
She’s in danger!
Don’t just stand and stare!
…
Seeing Shi Yan awaken, the Phantom Clan fellows screamed crazily, asking him to help Mei Ji. He checked and found that Fan De Lei had disappeared unbeknownst to everyone. He didn’t know that after Zhen Ru got her chest punctured and reappeared outside, Fan De Lei sensed the dangerous situation and didn’t hesitate to leave with his subordinates.
Even Zhen Ru at the Second Sky of Territory Ancestor Realm, one of the strongest experts in this world, was wounded badly. Moreover, as Fan De Lei had tasted Shi Yan’s evil deeds, how could he dare to linger?
Go! Find and kill Fan De Lei!
Shi Yan let out a low-pitched shout as he touched his glabella, causing a meteor to fly out, gliding far away.
It was the Skyfall Star River!
After Shi Yan had created the space broadsword to chase after Zhen Ru and used the Skyfall Star River to deal with Fan De Lei, he headed to the area where Cantecie and Mei Ji were fighting with an icy expression.
The Phantom Clan fellows proactively made way for him. They were worried, and wished that he could move faster.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Strange energy waves came as if some invisible walls were pressing toward Cantecie and Mei Ji, trying to lock that area.
Inside the chaotic area, Cantecie were overwhelming while Mei Ji, with her bold and fearless power, was trying to resist her. Mei Ji had turned into a beautiful ice sculpture which was so crystal clear and noble that nothing could compare with her.
She had used her vitality to trigger her potential, using countless ice columns, arrows, and sabers to attack Cantecie in that world of snowstorm. It wasn’t that Cantecie didn’t want to leave; she couldn’t leave because of Mei Ji’s entanglement.
She didn’t want to pay with a wounded body to escape with a secret technique. Thus, they were still battling.
However, when she heard the strange noise, she finally discolored. As the others thought that Shi Yan was moving slowly, Cantecie knew what those strange space energy ripples were.
Shi Yan was strolling and not hurried. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to rush; he was actually using space energy to lock the space over there first! He wanted to capture Cantecie like picking up a crab inside a net.
Cantecie was panicking. Zhen Ru had escaped and Fan De Lei had run away; she knew that Shi Yan had had something earth-shaking happened to him.
She was sure that Shi Yan was very formidable now. Otherwise, why would Zhen Ru, one of the Ten Great Territory Ancestors, have to run without a known reason?
Hearing the noises of space being tightened, Cantecie gritted her teeth. She didn’t care about a massive ice saber hitting her, so the pressure made her vomit blood, and her body began bleeding. As soon as a drop of her blood oozed out, it exploded into a blood tornado.
The tornado covered her while spinning furiously. Gusts of strong wind and tornadoes burst off in this world of snow and wind, creating layers of thick wind that covered her.
When Shi Yan got in there, that hazy area subsided and became clearer to the eyes. Mei Ji’s body shook as if she was about to fall, her body seeming like a shattering ice statue. She screamed,
Cantecie wants to run away!
The massive tornado fiercely headed toward the infinite void while she hadn’t finished talking.
Shi Yan sneered, clasping his hands. Right after that, a massive hand seal congregated from evil powers like Death, Desperation, Corrosion, etc., was cast above the tornado. The hand seal fell into the tornado, moving deeper inside.
All of a sudden, a chain of explosions arose from the tornado as an earth-destroying energy rippled out, chilling the onlookers. Meanwhile, Cantecie’s shrill scream sounded from the tornado.
Shi Yan! You and I can’t stand under the same sky!
BOOM!
The tornado went off and dispersed fast, but Cantecie wasn’t in there. No one knew where she was gone. Anyway, blood sprinkled from the exploding tornado. The ground covered in ice and snow now was decorated with dots of blood.
Apparently, although Cantecie had escaped, she couldn’t dodge Shi Yan’s bold strike fully. Looking at the blood on the ground, the others knew that her wounds were severe.
Hmm! If Mei Ji didn’t need vitality supplementation, I would hunt you down even if you ran to the other end of this universe!
Shi Yan said and then appeared by Mei Ji all of a sudden. At this moment, Mei Ji’s ice was melting. After she relaxed, she seemed no longer able to bear the backlash, withering like a dying tree.
It was the sign of wasting too much vitality.
Madam Mei Ji!
Please, stay with us!
The warriors of the Phantom Clan hurried to her. A senile woman fumbled with some aromatic pellets, trying to worm through the crowd to give them to Mei Ji.
Move!
Shi Yan shouted, his face cold.
An invisible energy gushed from his body, and the incoming members of the Phantom Clan were blown backward as if someone had grabbed them by the nape of their necks and hurled them away.
What did you do? I want to save Mei Ji! Why did you hinder me?
The old woman was enraged. She rolled her sleeves up as she was about to attack Shi Yan.
You can’t help her,
Shi Yan frowned.
Do you think you can? I manage the pellets of the Phantom Clan. The most precious pellets and medicines are in my hands. If I can’t save her, who can?
The old woman panted furiously.
Aunt Fang, don’t be hot-tempered. Just let him…let him do it…
Mei Ji’s ice melted completely, revealing her ashen face as she tried to comfort the old woman.
It’s…
the woman hesitated.
However, at this moment, Shi Yan’s left hand was placed on his chest, and an immense vitality was sucked out of his body in the form of an ivory stream of mist. A white ball filled with vitality was congregated, arousing the members of the Phantom Clan around.
As long as they sniffed the fragrance from the Life Ball, they felt vigorous as if their bodies were quenched one more time.
The entire crowd of the Phantom Clan was excited with bright eyes.
The old woman quivered while mumbling,
The most magical life energy… It’s the best way to heal anyway…
She didn’t hinder Shi Yan anymore and frowned while shouting at the others.
Get lost! Do not inhale the vitality from that Life Ball. It’s the energy to save a life. Y’all! Roll away!
As she was screaming, the greedy fellows who were inhaling the vitality awakened. They then clumsily moved away, not even daring to breathe.
Absorb it and get well soon.
Shi Yan said softly as the crystal Life Ball landed on Mei Ji’s round bosom, entering her heart.
Mei Ji’s drained vitality was refilled rapidly. Her skin glowed in good health, her ashen face regaining its color.
