565 A Life and Death Situation (1/2)

Everything had come full force, but the intensity of it was beyond Yun Yang's expectations.

Upon seeing the mass of black encroach so swiftly and aggressively, Yun Yang had imagined that the clouds would crush him into minced meat, killing him thoroughly. After all, this would be the most direct and irreversible method to get rid of him.

With Yun Yang's cultivation base capability and his judgment regarding the inky mass, he could do nothing but await his death if the other party had really taken that path. He simply had no way to even resist the attack. Looking at the massive mountain of clouds, he was doubtful that he was able to defend himself at all.

The reality, however, was the disappearance of the dark clouds that filled the sky once they came near enough to his head.

That was it. The dark clouds that had spread wide and far and had almost covered more than half of Tiantang City had vanished within the blink of an eye!

The clear sky and bright sun greeted everyone again, while white, fluffy clouds hovered in the air. It was like a whole new world.

At the moment of change, it was like heaven and earth had suddenly lost their order, going from extreme darkness to extreme brilliance. It was quick, like the exhalation of a single breath, but heaven and earth had changed colors.

Countless pairs of eyes were blinded by the sudden sunlight, but Yun Yang was unaffected. His pupils contracted instead, as his vision zeroed in on the sky.

While the dark clouds had dissipated, there was still a strange black flag fluttering in the sky in a ghastly manner. Under the flag was a silhouette that was descending like a fallen meteor. It had a lean body with a sculpted face, a man dressed entirely in black and exuded an indescribable sense of eeriness.

What caught Yun Yang's attention was the dark, onyx, luster that covered the person's right arm and the cruel grin on his face as the person dashed towards Yun Yang, fast as a lightning strike. The right arm was lashing out at a fatal point on Yun Yang's chest!

Once the other party emerged, Yun Yang had already sensed it. He was also prepared to counter any strike that might be unleashed, as the attacker bolted down, but when the man in black arrived in front of Yun Yang, he felt that he could not even move. He couldn't even move his body or blink, let alone avoid or defend against an attack.

The attacker's aura had secured Yun Yang entirely, exacting a restrictive force that was several dozen times stronger than him, which restrained Yun Yang from even fidgeting; every strand of his hair was constrained by the attacker. He could only watch as a violent palm reached towards his chest. He even saw the black flag make a turn without anyone manipulating it in the sky, the tip of the flag coming right at his chest.

This seemingly unnecessary action was only to ensure that he was thoroughly killed and prevent any chances of a mistake taking place.

Yun Yang sighed softly in his heart. He, who was at the juncture of life and death, smiled.

Finally, this moment had come!

Finally, this day had arrived!

He still had to die after all.

The recent period of uneasiness and today's premonition had proven true today!

The other party had the ghoulish flag to depend on and had found him easily with its assistance. He also had an exceptional cultivation base that Yun Yang could hardly contend with. The attacker did not even leave him room for pleasantries. The murderous intent was blatant.

There was simply no side of the attacker that Yun Yang could attack. No matter how many tricks or strategies he had, he could only sigh in futility as he could not avoid the attacker's amazing tactics.

”Such is life; this is the end today!”

As his smile faded away, Yun Yang's expression turned to one of nonchalance. He watched the man in black approach from the sky quietly and waited for his death to come.

Yun Yang had never been one to give up easily and willingly, but this person who was coming for his life was unpredictably skilled. Just the ability to descend from the sky and ride the mass of dark clouds for hundreds of thousands of miles, as well as the superior ability to restrain him, indicated that the other party was no less skilled compared to Ling Xiaozui and others. Even if a difference were to exist, it had to be rather insignificant. It was simply not a fight he could win.

”My reputation as Supreme Cloud would not suffer from being killed by such an expert… How does that saying go again? The end of a legend, the final chapter today?” Yun Yang was self-depreciating, painfully aware that he was unable to resist the attack.

At the final moment, he heard an odd sound – an extremely shrill cry.

Yun Yang shook himself from his morbid reverie.

Ji Lingxi!
