BOOM!

Pann Wu’s massive palm came crashing down, tearing through the sky. A series of THUDS followed as members of the Feather Race plummeted, their wings broken, and slammed into the earth below.

The other young members of the Feather Race, who had been roaring in anger moments before, were so terrified their blood ran cold. They instantly fell silent, spread their wings, and scattered in every direction.

On the other side.

The disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect all gasped and scrambled backward in terror, their arrogance completely gone.

Yuh Tian’s expression was thunderous. It was always his Feather Race that crushed others, yet now, they were the ones being crushed. They didn’t even dare to show their anger.

"The Giant Spirit Clan. Very good!"

Yuh Tian retracted his golden jade longbow, glaring at Pann Wu with bitter reluctance.

He knew in his heart that Pann Wu’s strength was on par with the strongest prodigy in his clan. He had no way to defeat him. In fact, if he stayed, he would be the one to die. For now, he could only retreat and bide his time.

’Besides, the Giant Spirit Clan has now emerged. This news must be delivered to the clan.’

He then shot a cold glance at the Dragon Cat before his gaze landed on Ye Wushuang, filled with intense killing intent.

"Let’s go!"

Yuh Tian spat out two words, his voice thick with frustration, before leading the few remaining Feather Race youths, who were coughing up blood, away.

Watching the Feather Race depart, the Celestial Sword Sect party also glanced fearfully at the giant before them. Their resolve wavered, and they looked to Liuu Yifei, their eyes pleading.

Their meaning was obvious: they wanted Liuu Yifei to order a retreat as well.

Those gazes were a humiliation to Liuu Yifei!

However, he could only endure it. First, he would lead the Celestial Sword Sect disciples to the Earth Palace and rendezvous with the Sect.

’As for killing Ye Wushuang, there would be plenty of other opportunities.’

"Very good!" Liuu Yifei muttered. He turned and stared coldly at Ye Wushuang. "Ye Wushuang, is it? You’d best not go to the Earth Palace. Otherwise, I, Liuu Yifei, will personally crush you."

"BOOM!"

The moment the threat was uttered, before anyone else could speak, Pann Wu’s eyes flashed. A massive palm descended through the void, slapping down fiercely toward Liuu Yifei.

Seeing this, Zhao Feiyu, who was standing beside Liuu Yifei, immediately leaped dozens of yards away to put distance between them.

Liuu Yifei hadn’t expected this either.

’Usually, that arrogant, wretched cat had to speak before Pann Wu would act. But not this time.’

But how could Liuu Yifei know he had just threatened the Priest of the Giant Spirit Clan!

The Priest was held in the highest esteem by the Giant Spirit Clan. Now that someone had threatened to kill him, how could Pann Wu not try to swat the man dead on the spot?

BOOM!

Liuu Yifei reacted a half-beat too slow, but the speed of his explosive retreat was in no way inferior to Zhao Feiyu’s.

In an instant, he was already dozens of yards away.

VMMMM!

The massive palm struck empty air, which hummed as if a giant drum had been struck, vibrating at a strange frequency.

The space around the point of impact collapsed downward, making Liuu Yifei’s heart tremble. ’If that had hit me,’ he thought, ’I would have been severely wounded.’

However, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, Pann Wu’s other palm came slamming down. It was even faster, instantly covering the sky above Liuu Yifei and blotting out all light.

With no time to dodge, Liuu Yifei could only defend, throwing up one True Essence Shield after another above his head.

BANG!

The massive palm crushed downward with irresistible force. The shields shattered as if they couldn’t withstand a single blow. Liuu Yifei’s body trembled violently as he was sent flying, spraying an arc of blood.

STOMP, STOMP, STOMP. After stamping hard on the air several times, he finally stabilized himself, only to immediately cough up another mouthful of blood.

The faces of the Celestial Sword Sect disciples paled. Although Liuu Yifei wasn’t the absolute strongest in the Celestial Sword Sect, they were well aware of his immense power. To see him defeated so utterly was a shock.

"Let’s go." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Liuu Yifei was aghast. ’Even at the True Essence Eighth Layer, I couldn’t stop the giant. It’s clear just how powerful he is!’

He shouted and landed among the other Celestial Sword Sect disciples.

Hearing Liuu Yifei give the order, the Celestial Sword Sect disciples felt a great weight lift from their shoulders. They immediately turned to flee. At this moment, killing Ye Wushuang was no longer important; saving their own lives was all that mattered.

At the same time, the expressions on Xuan Songx and Yinn Su, who were on the ground, changed drastically. They turned and ran toward the other Celestial Sword Sect disciples.

"Wait!"

Just then, a cold, indifferent voice suddenly rang out.

Hearing the voice, the disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect skidded to an abrupt halt.

Liuu Yifei whipped his head around to stare at Ye Wushuang. His voice was low and brimming with killing intent. "What more do you want?"

"To kill someone."

Ye Wushuang bit out the three words.

"Don’t push it!"

Rage flared in Liuu Yifei’s heart, and the killing intent in his chest felt ready to erupt at any moment.

"Leave the ones I want to kill, and the rest of you can scram."

Ye Wushuang didn’t bother to explain, his cold gaze sweeping over Xuan Songx and Yinn Su.

Xuan Songx’s and Yinn Su’s faces fell, and they turned to Liuu Yifei.

"Hey, you lot of trash! The Lord Priest has spoken. If you don’t do as he says, are you asking for..."

The Dragon Cat, perched on Pann Wu’s shoulder, suddenly piped up, making a slapping motion in the air with its paw. The meaning was obvious: obey, or get squashed!

The expressions of the Celestial Sword Sect disciples changed drastically at the sight.

Liuu Yifei’s face was as dark as a stormcloud as he repeated coldly, "Don’t push it!"

Ye Wushuang didn’t bother to respond, stating coldly, "Either they die, or all of you die."

"Senior Brother Liuu, don’t abandon me!"

Yinn Su was terrified, her eyes locked on Liuu Yifei, pleading desperately.

’She was one of the "they" Ye Wushuang had mentioned, wasn’t she?’

At the same time, Xuan Songx also looked to Liuu Yifei. If Liuu Yifei abandoned them today, they would surely die.

Liuu Yifei’s brow remained furrowed. After a long moment, he said to Xuan Songx, "Leave her. We’re going."

Liuu Yifei’s meaning was clear: he chose to save Xuan Songx and abandon Yinn Su, the main culprit.

Xuan Songx was at the True Essence Sixth Layer, a prodigy of the Celestial Sword Sect.

Yinn Su, on the other hand, was just an ordinary disciple. Comparatively, he would abandon her without the slightest hesitation.

"Let’s go!"

Liuu Yifei shouted once more and turned to leave.

The others shot her a pitying glance before following Liuu Yifei.

"No!" Seeing this, Yinn Su panicked. She rushed forward and grabbed Xuan Songx’s hand. "Brother Songg, you still love me, don’t you? Please don’t abandon me."

"Bitch, get lost!"

Xuan Songx’s gaze turned icy. With a flick of his arm, he threw Yinn Su aside. ’Better for one to die than two.’

Yinn Su was flung away, her body freezing in mid-air in stunned disbelief.

"Hahaha!"

Then, as if realizing her fate, she began to laugh maniacally. Before, Xuan Songx was always going on about what he would do for his woman. But when faced with a life-or-death crisis, he had abandoned her without even blinking.

’So much for love. It was all empty words. In the end, all she received were the words, "Bitch, get lost!"’

Watching all this, Ye Wushuang’s expression remained impassive. He drew his Ancient Sword and flashed into motion. For a fleeting moment, a Sword Light flared. Yinn Su’s laughter stopped abruptly as blood stained her throat and her body fell to the ground.

A moment later, Ye Wushuang’s figure reappeared elsewhere, his Ancient Sword stained with blood.

He felt no pity for Yinn Su. Those who are pitiful often have a detestable side.

For a venomous woman like her, if Ye Wushuang hadn’t killed her, someone else would have, sooner or later. Besides, Ye Wushuang never spared anyone who wanted him dead.

"One down, one to go. Neither of you will escape."

In the next instant, his gaze locked onto Xuan Songx.
