Chen Yu turned the tables. Void’s Crown Prince and Yan Shengxiao had their eyes flashing at this. The first hastened, “Kill Yan Mountain’s Third Sect Leader first!”


  Yan Shengxiao nodded going keep Li Suyi busy.

  She prepped the Slaughtering Dragon Art inside of her, ready to end him at a moment’s notice.

  Li Suyi wielded his heavy saber and intersected with Yan Shengxiao’s slender sword again and again.

  Her expression was flat as she made a slight and hidden move with her ready Slaughtering Dragon Art on Li Suyi’s left flank. If Li Suyi defended just like before, she’d breach the gap into a full-blown door.

  It all went well, trading blows like a dance, up to when impulsiveness seized his thoughts.

  Wait, something’s wrong. It’s a killing move!

  Li Suyi didn’t want to be tied up and jumped back fifty or so feet!

  Yan Shengxiao’s sword hit nothing but air and made small hole three zhang deep into the ground.

  Li Suyi felt a sudden impulse creeping up on him. From behind!

  Li Suyi hacked as he turned at Void’s Crown Prince coming out of the void. Before he could even attack, Li Suyi sent him back in.

  They both took this as a coincidence and attacked again. Yan Shengxiao kept Li Suyi occupied and their attacks crisscrossed into a net of saber waves and sword images all over the sky. Yan Shengxiao found her chance when Li Suyi just needed to aim for her arm.

  Yet Li Suyi had another sudden bout of impulsiveness.

  Huh, another devious tactic?

  Li Suyi jumped back once again.

  She looked at him strangely. This guy is a veteran!

  She baited him yet it fell on deaf ears.

  Yan Shengxiao and Crown Prince kept tangling Li Suyi when Crown Prince used Void Palms. Li Suyi responded with Demon Beheading and blew the palm images up to smithereens.

  Yan Shengxiao used this chance to aim for his life, but Li Suyi was already charging Crown Prince.

  Again and again, they failed.

  Fighting for two hours the two found the problem. He was slippery as an eel. They were best at silent killing, yet here was Li Suyi who thwarted their chances every step of the way.

  It was as if he had precog abilities, feeling danger with uncanny accuracy. When they threw him a bone, he just ignored it.

  No Yan Mountain sect leader was an easy target!

  News came of the other fight, “Moon Palace’s Crown Prince lost at the hands of Yan Mountain’s Second Sect Leader and escaped!”


  “He couldn’t win and Yan Mountain’s Second Sect Leader is now sealing the entrance to Sacred Mountain!

  “We are losing men.”


  Void’s Crown Prince spoke, “He might have lost but I won’t admit defeat. The four Paragons are up ahead. We just need to keep these two here and cut off Chen Ming’s help.”


  Yan Shengxiao added, “There’s no need to say it, I know that much. Chen Ming’s current strength is enough to crush any genius, and if we let him pass the tribulation, he’d be unstoppable. There might be no genius in this world to handle him!”


  Jin Xiangyu said, “If he grows into an Immortal King, he along with his disciples will become the second Crownless Assembly.”


  Void’s Crown Prince interjected, “The world isn’t big enough for another Crownless Assembly. If it rises, it heralds the four Great Immortal Domains’ doom.”


  Jin Xiangyu said, “The world can’t handle any more powers.”


  Chen Yu chuckled, “What a pity. You should think about surviving this first!”


  Jin Xiangyu turned to Chen Yu holding glimmering silver needles and wiped the blood from her mouth. She was too much of a threat, but it was too late to back out now. If Chen Yu and Li Suyi walked, Chen Ming would have a clear path to his goal, giving his disciples further help in growing stronger.

  Chen Yu peered into the horizon. Light was on the rise. The night was almost over.

  She was out of time. Chen Yu’s killing intent spread like a chilling wind, “Thirteen needles!”


  Jin Xiangyu felt the grim and callous desire for death. She didn’t have enough immortal power for another Dance in the Ninth Heaven, while the opponent just started using her killing move.

  Thirteen needles flew, cutting off all her retreats.

  Her lotus fan blew away seven of them yet six struck true, binding her acupoints.

  Sun rose and a ray of light graced the earth. Along with it, Chen Lingyu’s red eyes turned pure and innocent.

  Li Suyi watched her in awkwardness, We’re done for, it’s daylight!

  Li Suyi made his way back to Chen Ling’er as he fought, “Third senior brother, let’s leave. Jin Xiangyu won’t recover anytime soon.”


  He nodded flying away and Chen Ling’er right behind him. She began to heal him with Illustrious Casket.

  Yan Shengxiao and Void’s Crown Prince watched skeptically at the escaping pair. Wait, she just gave a severe wound to Jin Xiangyu yet instead of finishing her off, she fled?

  Just what is going on!

  Jin Xiangyu cursed, “They must be out of immortal power. Go chase them already!”


  The two only then reacted. Li Suyi fought with them the whole night and was running low on energy. As for the quack, she left a heavy wound on Jin Xiangyu and had to be nearing her limit too.

  Void’s Crown Prince flashed before Li Suyi and drove his dagger for his arm. Blood seeped out and Chen Ling’er waved her green immortal power to heal it the next second.

  Chen Ling’er exclaimed, “Don’t be afraid, third senior brother, let’s keep running!”
