423 Danger High in the Air (1/2)

It was only when Yun Yang had been reunited with Whitey Two and was leaving Zilong City at the fastest speed possible towards freedom, was Yun Yang's high-strung heart finally able to be a little more at ease. He could finally afford to be relieved now; the enemy experts were still far behind, as no one could keep up with them after Whitey Two had reached its fastest flying capacity. What was more, Shangguan Lingxiu and her squad were waiting outside Zilong City. Everything seemed to be in order.

Unfortunately, it was also when Yun Yang's guard was down that an unexpected turn of events occurred. Somewhere from the ground, a ray of sword light surged into the sky. The beam was hundreds of feet long and locked itself onto Yun Yang, robbing him of any chance to avoid the attack.

The sword light's speed outrageously exceeded Yun Yang's imagination. Within the blink of an eye, it had reached the dangerous proximity of his feet.

Seeing the dire threat, Whitey Three howled in consternation. The mystical beast, constantly alert against all forms of danger, leaped forward to protect its master, attempting to block the fatal strike that was meant for Yun Yang with its body. When Yun Yang finally realized the danger and hopped up with Divine Edge in his hands, the incoming sword light was too close for him to do anything about it.

Yun Yang only saw a splash of red, the color of freshly spilled blood.

Whitey Three's two feet had been neatly cut; blood was gushing out, as pain coursed through its body. It had never felt such agony. Since the Whiteys had acknowledged Yun Yang as their master, their lives had been smooth and safe, and they had never been so heavily wounded. It stung Yun Yang's heart!

With a long howl, Yun Yang's saber waved in the air, fast like lightning strikes. He did not care what happened next, as all three forms and six styles of the Divine Edge were executed simultaneously in deadly unison.

Merciless Saber!

Merciless Dao!

Saber Laic!

Life and Death in a Thought!

Upended River of Blood!

Reincarnation under the Saber!

All three forms of the Destiny Blade Saber Truth had been unleashed.

This was something that not even Venerable Lord Ice would have enjoyed. In the space of a heartbeat, brilliant saber light filled the sky, spanning thousands of feet across.

The sword light was executed first and was at its most dynamic stage, meeting the strikes fearlessly as they collided in a display of sparkles. A strange snort could be heard before another beam of white light flared out. It was oblivious to the immense power of the Divine Edge and had broken through the saber light that emanated from the three forms of Destiny Blade.

Yun Yang held his saber with both hands and blocked the death that was coming for him with all his might. He felt his opponent's overwhelming force immediately, a fierce tide that refused to be stopped. Yun Yang grunted, coughing up a mouthful of blood as he was flung hundreds of feet away.

He was astonished.

His opponent's cultivation base was terrifyingly high!

Whitey Three, already heavily wounded, retaliated with finality; it opened its mouth wide and sprayed wind blades accompanied by a light ball that was already formed in its mouth, causing a sharp crack in the air that resounded with the sound of thunder.

The person that had been struck skidded a dozen feet back from the collision, but he was impressively able to stop himself from flying off further. With a long howl that relieved him of cooped-up air, his sword light flared again, as he got ready to give chase again. This was when Whitey Three's light ball flew directly at him.

Well aware of what the light ball could do to him, he quickly countered the attack with a wave of his sword. The collision gave birth to a booming cry, the powerful impact erupting in a gush of endless energy. The person was flung thousands of feet away with no way to gain any leverage since he was in midair.

On the other side, Whitey Two had taken the opportunity of the gap to sneak in an ambush as well. It was hovering under Yun Yang earlier, and its vision had been obscured. This unfortunate position caused it to be a beat slower to realize that they were being ambushed and Whitey Three had been wounded. Whitey Two was not harmed, though, and its light ball was a high concentration of its entire strength; the blooming power contained within was much more impactful than Whitey Three's counterattack.

Seeing that another light ball had been hurled at him again, the attacker swept up his sword to block it once more. It still did not deal any damage to him, but he was already more than three thousand feet away from his original position. It struck him that he was like a ball that was being kicked increasingly further away.
