“The sound wave attack is finally here!”

When the woods were echoing with the slight clunking sound, Yun Fei and Zhan Wushuang—who was wrapped in the layers of tree roots—suddenly opened their bright eyes.

Using the forest sensing, Yun Fei could sense that Jiang Yi was still alive and could also sense that those people in the distance had already fallen into the illusion zone, with the victory scale was tilting towards their side.

“Open!”

Without any hint of hesitation, Yun Fei immediately released her sorcery to shift aside the tree roots above them. Zhan Wushuang, who was a descendant of the Battle God Clan, wasn’t afraid of soul spirit attacks; but Yun Fei was. If she wasn’t able to rush over to Jiang Yi’s side fast enough, she would also ultimately turn crazy.

“Swish!”

Just as the tree roots opened up an entrance, the clunking sound became very loud; and the bewilderment in Yun Fei’s eyes intensified. Zhan Wushuang was panicking as he carried Yun Fei and burst towards Jiang Yi.

“Jiang Yi!”

Seeing that Jiang Yi was getting ready to rush at Shui Qianrou, Zhan Wushuang yelled out frantically. Jiang Yi’s blood red eyes turned over, and with a shudder of the body, the blood red light in his eyes vanished as he hurried over to Zhan Wushuang.

“Earth Fire!”

He controlled the last wisp of the Earth Fire within the Fire Spirit Pearl to emerge. When the Fire Spirit Pearl used the mysterious energy to protect the owner, he immediately channeled a lump of that mysterious energy into his palm and placed it on Yun Fei’s head, allowing the mysterious energy to enter her soul spirit.

“Buzz!”

Yun Fei’s soul spirit had this sudden surge of golden light. She quickly opened her eyes which were still lingering with a fearful expression.

“Kill!”

Jiang Yi and Zhan Wushuang exchanged eye contact and dashed in two different directions. Jiang Yi shot like an arrow towards Shui Qianrou while Zhan Wushuang headed towards the other Soul Travel Realm experts who were standing still. It might seem as though everyone in the woods had been struck by the spell, but no one could guarantee there wouldn’t be any sudden changes. Hence, it was better to control the entire situation first.

A hundred of meters ahead of Jiang Yi was an absolutely beautiful lass in green robes, who was surrounded by fifty individuals who eyes had nothing but bewilderment. Shui Qianrou had similarly fallen into the soul spirit illusion zone and was immobilized.

“Swish!”

Jiang Yi shot towards her like a spirit fox and was staring at Shui Qianrou while ignoring the rest of the ladies from Water Moon Observatory. The Black Scale Sword was like a dragon that thrust ahead, causing the bodies of five of the ladies to instantly exploded into a bloody mess.

“Die!”

The daughter of the no.1 martial expert was nothing in Jiang Yi’s eyes. He had already said this before: if someone wanted to kill him, that person must have the awareness of death even if they had the gods backing them up. Right now, with the opportunity to kill Shui Qianrou arising, he naturally wasn’t going to be merciful.

As the Black Scale Sword pierced through the air, it went straight towards Shui Qianrou’s face; and she was about to be killed by this sword. The continent’s no.1 beauty had yet to even fully develop and was about to shatter like a beautiful, unfinished jade.

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, the sky turned bright—just like the pitch-black sky being torn across by lightning, which stunned everyone in the Crystal Stone Plains. Immediately following after was a horrific aura that enveloped everyone in the Crystal Stone Plains. Many of the martial artists, who were locked in an intense fight with the enemy, suddenly stopped and cast their fearful eyes towards the sky.

“En?”

Jiang Yi and Zhan Wushuang’s bodies suddenly froze, too. Especially Jiang Yi who could feel a fatal crisis—as though an immemorial fearsome beast was staring at him. He felt that he was going to die horribly if he dared to even move his body!

“Hur! Devil Sky Silk!”

His mind was revolving rapidly. Even if that horrific pressure made his body immobilized, he could still release the Devil Sky Silk!

With the thought in his mind, the Black Scale Sword vanished from his hands and was replaced by long silver silk, which shot over and wrapped Shui Qianrou by the waist. Jiang Yi abruptly tugged with one hand to pull Shui Qianrou’s delicate body over and grabbed on her throat with one hand. The Fire Spirit Pearl radiated in his other hand, ready to release the Fire Spirit Rock anytime to turn Shui Qianrou into dust.

“Buzz!”

The sky was growing brighter, and the originally dusky sky grew as bright as a snowy day—while a massive figure congealed in mid-air. It was an extremely beautiful woman who was clad in snow-white robes and had an aura that was comparable to an immortal. She was now suspending in mid-air, giving people the feeling like she was a fairy from the nine heavens.

The bizarre thing was… the sky above Jiang Yi and the others was obviously obstructed by this Ghost Woods. However—right now, everyone could clearly see that woman’s figure in the sky. This image didn’t seem like it was formed in mid-air; it was appearing in everyone’s mind instead. Jiang Yi could distinctly see that woman’s eyes locking onto him from a distance.

“Huh…”

Right at this moment, the Water Moon Observatory ladies, who fell into the illusion, suddenly snapped out of it. It was only them that were able to escape from the illusion, the rest of the other Heaven Mystics Kingdom’s martial artists were still dazzled and standing in place.

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

All their expressions changed when they saw Jiang Yi by their side and had seized Shui Qianrou. They didn’t dare to move recklessly, and all knelt on the ground while yelling in unison, “Greetings to Observatory Hostess. We all deserve a death sentence.”

Shui Youlan!

A name appeared in the mind of Jiang Yi, Zhan Wushuang, and Yun Fei. They didn’t need to lift their heads to feel the presence of that woman in mid-air, but when they lifted their head to look, they felt a shock in their heart.

The world’s no.1 combatant was indeed formidable!

The first thing the three of them thought was the rumors that Shui Youlan had been in seclusion in the Starfall Island for ten years, and the distance between that place and the Crystal Stone Plains was at least five million kilometers. Moreover, the Crystal Stone Plains had a powerful restriction; and she was actually able to congeal an image in here with ease? How powerful must she be to even release such a horrific pressure?

Was she a god?

Jiang Yi thought about this in his mind, and there wasn’t any explanation for such power.

Just as he was still in shock, Shui Youlan’s eyes suddenly glance at Shui Qianrou, which immediately awakened Shui Qianrou with her mystical eyes.

Shui Qianrou opened her eyes and felt a hand grabbing on her neck. When she saw that Fire Spirit Pearl which was emitting a pale red light, her face instantly turned pale. She quickly realized something before looking towards the sky. She seemingly looked past the dense forest to see Shui Youlan and yelled out with a grievance, “Mother, quickly save me. Help me kill him! Qianrou was nearly killed by him by a number of times.”

“Lass, do you dare to sneak out again next time? Do you now know that in this world, there are always people that are more talented than you?”

After a gentle and extremely charming voice echoed, Shui Youlan looked at Shui Qianrou with pampering before casting her eyes at Jiang Yi with a slight smile. “Young man. Let go of my daughter, and I will not look into this matter.”

Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei looked at Jiang Yi at the same time with eyes that had a trace of sadness. With Shui Youlan appearing, Shui Qianrou couldn’t be killed now. The ladies from the Water Moon Observatory revealed some relief on their faces. Shui Youlan had spoken; who in the world would dare to hurt Shui Qianrou?

“Hahaha!”

No one expected for Jiang Yi to suddenly laugh while facing the sky. His laughter contained the intent of unrestrained insolence as though he heard the world’s funniest joke.

His mouth was sneering as he looked into the sky as though he was exchanging eye contact with Shui Youlan. After he finished laughing, he then spoke apathetically, “Release her? Based on what? Because you are the world’s no.1 martial expert? Perhaps the world might cower before your name, but… to me, it is worth nothing!”
