Chapter 86: Rescuing Martial Brother Ye!
The whole world fell into silence, as the wind and waves turned into nothingness.
The scene before them kept rising, while the clouds rapidly shrank.
Ye Shubai’s white shirt was fluttering in the wind, with a few poignant red spots on his chest. His cold eyes were tightly closed, devoid of any signs of life.
Dao Jie stood in the clouds, raised his hand, and the body about to sink into the seabed seemed to be drawn towards him.
He didn’t care at all, after all, this kind of outcome is normal.
Without ascending, he was just a mortal body, not even taking the first step on the path of cultivation, how could he compete with immortals?
"The aura from that fire phoenix just now is peculiar, it doesn’t seem like the fire elemental laws of heaven and earth, what kind of…"
Dao Jie secretly doubted in his heart, about to grab Ye Shubai’s soul, but his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly stepped back!
However, it was too late.
Right from the start, he made a mistake by bringing Ye Shubai closer.
A fatal blow from the sword cultivator, only comes from the front, not from behind.
Sword cultivators can advance, but not retreat, they will never die while fleeing, only in battle!
A sword move that had been brewing for who knows how long suddenly slashed towards Dao Jie’s face, its power was shocking, and in an instant, the light of the world dimmed, overwhelmed by this intense golden light!
It was a delicate and elegant wooden sword, it seemed like it was made by a woman, even the hilt was engraved with elegant patterns, with no hint of killing intent.
The hand holding the sword was also slender and fair, like carved beauty jade.
However, the eyes behind the wooden sword were very cold.
In that moment, Dao Jie seemed to glimpse the silent snow on the high mountain for thousands of years, the chill seeped into his bones.
"This sword technique…"
He widened his eyes in disbelief, wondering why this person could also use Su Yuan’s sword technique, usually used by the old dog himself.
Yet before he could think further, Ye Shubai’s second sword, third sword, and fourth sword all came slashing down!
The sword moves were too fast, even though Dao Jie’s strength far exceeded Ye Shubai’s, for a moment he couldn’t react, feeling like a fly was buzzing around his head but he couldn’t catch it, feeling frustrated.
"Kid, stop this futile struggle! You are like a mantis trying to topple a tree, it’s laughable, laughable!"
Ye Shubai whispered to himself, asking, "How can a tiny insect shake a big tree?"
It’s better to know a little than to know nothing at all about life’s mysteries!
Dao Jie sneered and said, "The insect is doomed to die, why waste energy on it!"
However, all living things are born to compete!
"Sword cultivator boy, accept your fate gracefully!"
The sword is forged for killing!
The Clear Cloud Sword Technique in Ye Shubai’s hands seemed to come alive, flowing gracefully and swiftly like floating clouds, each move aimed at Dao Jie’s vital points.
As the final move was executed, Ye Shubai flicked his wrist, the sword tip exuding an unparalleled aura.
He exposed all his weaknesses to Dao Jie, hoping to unleash this technique!
In the past, he once cut down The Tenth Peak in Dark Heaven Secret Realm.
With this move, Su Yuan actually carved out a canyon in Dark Heaven Secret Realm.
With this move, today it aims to strike towards the immortal!
As Ye Shubai’s sword slashed towards Dao Jie, there seemed to be shining golden threads swirling around, forming a phoenix.
Dao Jie’s pupils contracted, sensing a life-threatening danger!
He was continuously forced to dodge forward by Ye Shubai’s sword, shouting in surprise, "You have actually understood the power of the universe and earth!"
In this desolate world, did he comprehend the power of the universe and earth with a dying body? What a frightening and amazing talent?
Despite Dao Jie’s shock, he suddenly discovered that he had been unwittingly cornered near a strange island by this sword cultivator. Before he could react, an inexplicable power of the universe and earth began to emerge and spread under his feet!
This powerful being who ascended was greatly shaken, suddenly realizing that he had fallen into a trap.
His face turned very dark, but he didn’t care about these tricks from the lower realm. He just stared at Ye Shubai and sneered, "Good, dare to scheme against me? Die!"
As he spoke, his power exploded, and a golden light like a god mercilessly shot towards Ye Shubai!
Ye Shubai was falling rapidly.
His face was pale like his clothes, his eyes getting darker in the whiteness, and the blood on his lips becoming more vibrant.
From his sleeve, a thick stack of teleportation scrolls scattered in the wind. He tried to grab them but failed, watching as they were torn to pieces by Dao Jie’s terrifying power.
After swinging his final sword, Ye Shubai was powerless, even his fingers shattered, unable to move.
He stared blankly with dull eyes, watching the paper scraps fall like snow.
It really looked like a snowstorm.
Suddenly, he remembered Wen Yun’s appearance while drawing those formations.
That day, snow was falling outside the window. She sat by the window, drawing carefully, one stroke at a time, creating a pile of drawings after many days and nights.
The little girl then stuffed all the scrolls into his arms, repeatedly telling him to remember to use them.
"If you ever encounter a crowd attacking you, remember to use it."
"If you can’t win a fight, remember to use it."
"If you encounter strange fierce beasts like Little Hong… you must remember to use it."
"After using it and being transported to a strange place, remember to stand still in one place, I will come find you with oranges."
At that moment, he forgot to ask Wen Yun why it was oranges, he only remembered that she said she would come find him.
Unfortunately, it seems he won’t be able to wait until that time.
The golden light approached him closer and closer, Ye Shubai slowly closed his eyes.
However, just as it was about to swallow him up, a tremendous force suddenly emerged in the world and tore open the space.
The palm strike by Dao Jie landed on the outer sea, causing huge waves and turning the surrounding islands and rocks into dust. This power shocked the whole world with its intensity, yet the strike missed its target.
The once doomed Ye Shubai vanished into thin air!
Dao Jie’s eyes widened, his lips trembling. The intense spatial fluctuations struck him like lightning, but then he burst into joy, "It’s the law of space! It’s the law of space!"
This time, he finally recognized it!
In the upper realm, only those with exceptional talent can comprehend the Power of Rules, and they are known as favored by the heavens.
Cultivators who master the Power of Rules can engage in cross-level battles as a norm. If they can safely cultivate to ascension, then further to the immortal realm, and even the Tao Realm, it’s all within reach.
The Dongxuan World has a notorious reputation among the myriad realms because Dongxuan Sect has three Tao Realm experts who master the laws of heaven and earth!
Just like people, the laws also have their levels of superiority and inferiority.
Even though Dongxuan World was very famous, no one could master the supreme rule of space.
He thought it was Ye Shubai who used the rule of space, searched around like crazy for his whereabouts, and was about to fly out, but found an invisible force binding him to the island.
Dao Jie’s face darkened, recognizing this as a formation, vigorously striking forward!
The semi-transparent barrier trembled violently, like ripples on a calm water surface, but gradually returned to normal, even becoming stronger and unbreakable!
Dao Jie angrily shouted, "The rule of space is mine!", and repeatedly struck out, but this formation was like swaying grass in the wind, always resilient. Blinding golden light flowed down from the top, trapping him tightly inside.
He finally noticed the source of this force, slowly looking up at the black dot suspended in the air. The sunlight was too bright for him to see the person’s shadow clearly, but he felt familiar with the long staff held by the figure.
Yes, it was the arrogant girl who claimed to be from Dongxuan World that day.
She floated lightly in the air, her long hair blown by the cold wind over the sea, her features faint like ink paintings. Her eyes were lowered, incredibly beautiful, yet extremely cold, lacking the past haughty arrogance.
She was the terrifying source of the Power of Rules in space.
However, when she spoke, she inexplicably replied, "It’s not the law of space."
Dao Jie didn’t have the intention to argue with her anymore, his eyes red, attacking towards her. However, a semi-transparent barrier separated the two of them, and every time he tried to strike, he was blocked by the barrier, all his efforts were in vain.
"What kind of array is this!"
Gradually, panic and anger arose in his heart. Aren’t arrays in the Lower Realm supposed to be easily cracked? How could there be such a strange array!
Perhaps no one from the Upper Realm would have expected to be trapped by an array from the Lower Realm, right?
Wen Yun quietly watched Dao Jie struggling below, not saying a word, just constantly pointing her dragon bone wand down. Each time she pointed, a new array lit up below.
She used her own power as a reference, igniting numerous arrays like sparks!
In an instant, Middle Island lit up with countless points of light, all pressing towards Dao Jie in the array!
Whether it was the spirit array from Qian Lishen’s hand, the magic array from Ye Shubai and the little dragon, or the source array from Wen Yun’s hand, at this moment, countless powers converged, all aiming to defeat the Immortal!
Dao Jie, standing in the middle of the storm kept defending himself. Even though the attacks felt like tiny ant bites to him, the combined bites of many ants caused him great pain!
He looked up at Wen Yun with resentment and said, "How dare the lowly people from the lower realm defy us!"
"Are the positions of high and low determined by the heavens?"
Wen Yun hovered in the air, looking down at Dao Jie from above.
She said slowly, "Rank and status are decided by people, not by fate. Now I am above, and you are below!"
How could she be so arrogant?
In this moment, Dao Jie only felt hatred!
He regretted underestimating the situation, not expecting two people who had mastered the laws of the universe in a realm on the brink of collapse!
He resented the lower realm people who should have been bowing at his feet, daring to act so boldly and foolishly, aiming to kill Ascender!
Dao Jie refused to accept his fate. He fought countless battles and survived every time.
Just a lowly commoner, how could he possibly kill an immortal?
Dao Jie seemed to have made a decision, gathering power in his hands to launch a deadly attack towards Wen Yun.
He clenched his teeth, his resentment turning into determination.
"With the power of half of my cultivation, how will your mortal body withstand this strike!"
Wen Yun in the air sensed the extraordinary power of the strike and began chanting in a mysterious language.
The small fire dragon outside the barrier tried to open its eyes and saw Wen Yun’s energy intensifying, distorting the surrounding space.
Its confused mind suddenly cleared, feeling a soul-deep fear.
This is… This is the Time Space Spell!
No, this forbidden spell is not perfect. Wen Yun almost died in the terrifying time-space turbulence, now she might get hurt if she uses it.
The little dragon’s legs and arms were shaking, but it bravely swam towards Middle Island, fighting its fear.
Is it scared?
Of course, it’s scared!
Remembering the pain of its soul being torn apart in the time-space turbulence, it would even wake up from nightmares while lying in its treasure-filled den.
That fear comes from the soul, it never fades.
Yet, it keeps crawling forward.
"Silly wizard, you can’t die…"
It’s still a young dragon, small and able to cry, how could a young dragon leave its owner?
"Please don’t leave me again…"
Little Dragon struggled to move its front paws while paddling with its back legs. Its body was too heavy, causing it to be unable to move. Its teary eyes couldn’t hold back the tears.
It could only watch as Wen Yun’s golden light grew brighter, and felt her gradually weakening breath.
The dragon bone wand bloomed with a dazzling light that no one had ever seen before, colliding fiercely with Dao Jie’s hand that flew towards the sky!
"Crack—"
The formation finally couldn’t bear the burden anymore, the golden light shattered in an instant, dissipated into nothingness between heaven and earth.
A cold smile appeared on Dao Jie’s face, he didn’t hesitate to unleash his fatal move towards Wen Yun.
The young girl remained calm, without any fear or panic, holding her staff firmly facing him!
In an instant, the world seemed to fade into nothingness, dull and dark, until the two collided, then slowly returned to clarity.
Dao Jie’s deadly strike didn’t land in the end, as if it disappeared into thin air without a sound.
Wen Yun still stood in the air, her back straight, looking cold and proud like a tall pine tree.
"Crack-"
And opposite her, the severed half of a body fell into the ruins of Middle Island from the waist down.
Wen Yun didn’t stop there, she threw a stack of thick scrolls towards the severed body, expressionless.
In a moment of frozen ice and burning fire, only half-charred bones were left in the black sand, mingled together and hard to distinguish.
The small Charmander, who had been crying moments ago, stood frozen in place, "This… this is…"
With Dao Jie’s death, it broke free from the Ascender’s pressure, clumsily swam ashore from the sea, and ran towards the island.
But this scene was completely unexpected to it.
Wen Yun successfully used the Time Space Spell, but this time she aimed it not at herself, but at Dao Jie.
More precisely, she only sent the upper body of Dao Jie into the Time Space Spell.
This forbidden curse separated Dao Jie’s body into two halves, ensuring that he wouldn’t survive even if he encountered dangerous time and space disturbances.
It was a battle of life and death, not just a test of strength!
Finally, it was over.
With the last ounce of strength drained from Wen Yun’s body, she fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string.
The tiny fire dragon quickly rushed over to catch her.
"Silly magician, you are still alive!"
Instead of immediately comforting the little fire dragon, she tremblingly propped herself up and struggled to stand.
Step by step, she tried hard to walk towards the sea.
Charmander chased after her, "Where are you going!"
Where to?
"Where are you going?"
Her voice trembled, her vision blurred, unable to distinguish between day and night. She struggled to keep moving forward.
However, she had no strength left in her body, and couldn’t find the person’s shadow anywhere.
In the Magic World, Wen Yun never depleted her magic powers because she had no one to rely on. She knew that if she used up her magic, she would be defenseless and vulnerable to enemies.
Until she arrived here.
She could now peacefully fall asleep after using up her magic, knowing that when she woke up, she would see the familiar figure standing by her side.
Wherever she looked, she could see that clear and elegant figure – sometimes slowly sipping tea like an old man, or earnestly reading the spellbook she wrote.
She walked aimlessly towards the sea, vaguely remembering using a time-space spell on Ye Shubai at that time, but she didn’t know where he had been transported to.
The vast ocean stretched out before her, and he was wounded. If they couldn’t find help soon, he might die in some unknown corner.
Wen Yun stumbled and sat in the sea. She reached out to grab a strand of white fabric, mistaking it for Ye Shubai’s sleeve, only to realize it was her own skirt fluttering in the water.
Her hand tightly clutched her skirt floating on the water, afraid to let go of it.
Her eyes felt a bit watery, she didn’t cry but forced a faint smile.
I found you.
At this moment, Wen Yun couldn’t distinguish between reality and illusion. She just felt her body getting heavier, sinking deep into the sea, unable to resurface.
Where the sky and the sea met, the water was crystal blue, with the gentle breeze creating small ripples which then returned to calm serenity.
In the haze, she heard several messy shouts coming from the distant east.
…
"Sister Wen from the martial arts!"
"Brother Ye just suddenly fell from the sky into the sea cave, scaring us! But we quickly rescued him!"
"Fool, got it wrong again!"
"Sister Wen from the martial arts! We have rescued Sect Leader Ye!"
…
