"Go!"
Wen Qingye barked the order. Without a shred of hesitation, the Ice Python shot forward, its body like a flash of lightning as it slithered toward the exit.
In moments, the Ice Python charged out of the exit of Ten Thousand Miles Sky. It lifted its head abruptly, its body leaping into the air amidst a whistling gale.
"Trying to run? Wen Qingye, I’ve been waiting for you!"
Just then, a furious roar echoed from the side, accompanied by a massive shockwave of Primordial Qi.
Wen Qingye was shocked and couldn’t help but frown. ’So Lim Tian was waiting for me at the exit. That was a miscalculation on my part. I thought he would send other experts to wait at the exit while he blocked the entrance himself. I never expected it to be the other way around.’
Hearing Lim Tian’s words and sensing the surging Primordial Qi, the Ice Python didn’t hesitate. It whipped its massive tail at Lim Tian with mountain-shattering, river-splitting force.
BANG! The Ice Python’s body shuddered and was sent flying sideways. Standing on its head, Wen Qingye was also badly shaken and stumbled.
Lim Tian stared at Wen Qingye and burst into maniacal laughter. "Hahahaha! Wen Qingye, you have nowhere to run, nowhere to hide! I will cut you into a thousand pieces to vent my hatred!"
"What do we do?" the Ice Python asked Wen Qingye anxiously.
Wen Qingye’s brow smoothed over. "We run."
"To the Purple Nether Swamp?" the Ice Python asked. "Even with me there, our chances of survival are slim."
"I’ll handle everything," Wen Qingye said nonchalantly. "There’s no hardship we can’t overcome. Trust me."
At this life-or-death moment, Wen Qingye’s words carried a stirring, persuasive power.
"Alright," the Ice Python sighed. Then, with a sudden surge, it twisted its body and charged toward the gloomy darkness on the right.
"Wen Qingye, what are you doing? Are you trying to flee into the Purple Nether Swamp?" Seeing this, Lim Tian was startled and shot toward Wen Qingye at high speed.
As Lim Tian spoke, he mercilessly blasted his Fist Force toward Wen Qingye and the Ice Python. The immense aura surged, causing the surrounding air to vibrate with a strange sound as several rays of light twisted together in the void.
The onlookers hiding nearby began to murmur amongst themselves.
"The Taiyi Pavilion Elder’s reputation is well-deserved. In my opinion, ordinary experts at his level are no match for him."
"Is this the power of the Life and Death Realm? He’s nearly distorting space itself!"
"No, it’s too soon for him to distort space. But this Lim Tian is truly extraordinary; he’s actually making the void tremble."
...
Wen Qingye quickly circulated his Primordial Qi, forming layers of light shields around himself. Lim Tian’s powerful aura first slammed into the Ice Python’s protective Qi Aura, then vibrated against Wen Qingye’s light shields.
Lim Tian didn’t know the Vibration Law, so he couldn’t transmit the force into Wen Qingye’s body. Not even one percent of the Primordial Qi that struck Wen Qingye made it through. Combined with Wen Qingye’s precautions, the attack dissipated into nothingness in an instant.
The Ice Python, however, took the full brunt of Lim Tian’s attack. Its massive body trembled and went into a spasm.
"HISS!"
The Ice Python flicked its huge tongue, showing its pain.
Lim Tian charged forward again, a cruel smile on his lips. The Primordial Qi in his palm surged toward Wen Qingye and the Ice Python once more.
Wen Qingye looked ahead and saw that the endless black forest wasn’t far off. A bloodthirsty, cold, and violently restless aura was already beginning to permeate the air. An idea struck him.
WHOOSH!
With a sharp wave of his hand, Wen Qingye sent a five-colored light shooting from his palm toward Lim Tian.
Contempt filled Lim Tian’s eyes. He had long known of Wen Qingye’s cultivation level. If Wen Qingye were in the Life and Death Realm, he wouldn’t dare to underestimate him, but Wen Qingye’s cultivation was merely at the Ninth Heaven of the Yin-Yang Realm.
But just as the light was about to reach him, Lim Tian’s expression changed drastically. Within the five-colored light was a fan, shimmering with a brilliant luster. It was clearly no ordinary item.
GASP—!
When the crowd saw it clearly, they all drew in a sharp, cold breath.
"This is..." Lim Tian’s reaction was surprisingly fast. He pushed off the ground and shot backward. At the same time, Wen Qingye and the Ice Python vanished from everyone’s sight.
"BOOM!"
The five-colored light exploded at that very moment. The sound was as deafening as mountains collapsing, and a mushroom cloud seemed to rise into the sky as the earth trembled violently.
"Heavens! Was that the explosion of an Emperor-grade High-level Magical Artifact?"
"This Wen Qingye... what an extravagant move!"
"Such decisiveness! He detonated an Emperor-grade High-level Magical Artifact with a wave of his hand and didn’t even blink."
"Wen Qingye is finished. Entering the Purple Nether Swamp is no different from committing suicide."
"If it were me, I’d rather be caught by Lim Tian than go into the Purple Nether Swamp."
The crowd watched the receding figures, filled with emotion.
Lim Tian’s face was grim. Watching Wen Qingye disappear, he sneered, "Wen Qingye, you truly are decisive. You’d rather venture deep into the Purple Nether Swamp than let me capture you. Hmph, do you have any idea that even I dare not enter the depths of the Purple Nether Swamp?"
After speaking, Lim Tian kept his eyes fixed on the dark silhouette ahead. Only when he was sure Wen Qingye had entered the Purple Nether Swamp did his heart settle. He couldn’t help but laugh out loud, then began to ponder whether he should continue the chase and force Wen Qingye even deeper into the swamp.
"A powerful expert!"
But just then, everyone’s heart began to pound wildly. An incomparably powerful figure with a magnificent aura suddenly drifted down from the sky.
Everyone couldn’t help but look up. They saw an old man with white hair, dressed in white robes. His pupils were a startling purple, and one of his sleeves was empty.
Seeing the newcomer, Lim Tian was aghast. "Qian Jue Hand, Meng Yiyu?"
"Who is Qian Jue Hand, Meng Yiyu?"
"How could it be him? It’s really him! That man hasn’t passed on yet?"
"My heavens, this is terrifying! The Celestial Profound Sect actually sent him to save Wen Qingye."
"This is huge! An expert who made his name nearly a hundred years ago has appeared!"
...
Meng Yiyu saw Lim Tian and frowned. His gaze fell upon his clothes as he asked coldly, "You are Lim Tian of the Taiyi Pavilion?"
Lim Tian nodded, stating proudly, "That’s right. I am Lim Tian, an Elder of the Taiyi Pavilion."
"Where is Wen Qingye?" Meng Yiyu asked, looking at Lim Tian without expression.
Lim Tian gave a sinister chuckle and pointed toward the Purple Nether Swamp. "He went into the Purple Nether Swamp."
"What?" Meng Yiyu roared, fury seeming to erupt from his eyes. He then glared murderously at Lim Tian. "You deserve to die!"
As an expert of the older generation, Meng Yiyu knew the Purple Nether Swamp very well; he had even explored it personally. It was one of the four great Secret Lands of the Eastern Profound Domain, and its dangers made his heart tremble even now.
