Shadowless Sword Slash was the supreme secret art of Ancient Sword Gorge.

This divine ability had defeated countless members of the God Clan throughout the world.

Even the Demon Race of Heaven Equaling Pavilion, then at the height of its power, had been forced to avoid its edge.

Back then, countless extraordinarily talented individuals had nearly racked their brains to exhaustion trying to devise a way to counter Shadowless Sword Slash.

Some cut off their own hands. Some had others drain all the divine power from their bodies. Others entered secret realms to hide, among many other methods.

It could be said that nearly every conceivable method had been attempted.

That included petrifying the entire body and entering a state of false death.

Therefore, when Ye Yu saw Cao Angyang's entire body turn to stone, he paid it no attention.

He knew perfectly well that this method did not work.

Sure enough, the next second, Cao Angyang's petrified right hand suddenly erupted with dazzling light.

Immediately afterward, a golden divine sword burst from its shell and shot into the sky.

It pierced through the marshlands' perpetually gloomy clouds, absorbed the power of heaven and earth beneath the blazing sun, then plunged straight back down.

At the same time, Cao Angyang emerged from his petrified state.

Faced with the divine sword descending from the sky, he did not attempt to dodge. Instead, he raised his own sword and met it head-on.

Seeing this, Ye Yu could not help but frown slightly.

Something's wrong. Why does he still have so much divine power inside him?

Shadowless Sword Slash should have drained him completely.

How could this...

Did he use the petrified state to completely seal both himself and the divine power within his body?

Was that how he weakened Shadowless Sword Slash?

He had to admit, the idea was certainly interesting.

But even so, could Cao Angyang truly break Shadowless Sword Slash?

At that thought, Ye Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked ahead.

The instant the divine sword collided with Cao Angyang, the entire marshland shattered apart.

Countless waves of filthy water splashed in every direction.

With a thought, Ye Yu raised an invisible barrier around himself and blocked the dirty water.

He could clearly sense that Cao Angyang was not dead.

The man had truly broken Shadowless Sword Slash!

The next second, Cao Angyang slowly descended from the sky.

He was not in good condition either. His entire right arm had vanished.

His spotless white divine robe was riddled with holes.

Even his face had been splattered with filthy water.

Cao Angyang, however, did not care in the slightest. Holding his sword in his left hand, he slowly walked toward Ye Yu.

He continued muttering, "Once I kill you, Qinglan will return to my side. Without you, everything will be different!"

Idiot!

Ye Yu could not help cursing inwardly.

Cao Angyang might have been the first member of the God Clan in history to successfully counter Shadowless Sword Slash.

Yet at such an important moment, he still naively believed that killing Ye Yu would make Gu Qinglan return to him.

What was he if not an idiot?

Just as Ye Yu was about to attack, the ground beneath Cao Angyang's feet suddenly turned pitch-black like ink.

The darkness then spread upward from below.

Cao Angyang's body was soon restrained, leaving him unable to move.

Seeing this, Ye Yu was curious as well and immediately looked up.

Gu Qinglan, whom he had already transported away, had returned.

Ye Yu called out, "Didn't I already send you away? Why did you come back?"

"To fulfill my duties as your cultivation partner. I was afraid you'd get beaten to death here!"

Gu Qinglan pressed her palms together, doing everything she could to completely restrain Cao Angyang.

However, her Golden God Realm cultivation was ultimately too weak.

A sharp sword cry suddenly rang out.

The darkness that had already swallowed half of Cao Angyang's body was completely forced back.

He regained his freedom.

He selectively ignored Gu Qinglan in the sky and continued walking straight toward Ye Yu.

Every step he took caused waves of divine power to surge.

Countless transparent divine swords suddenly appeared and began shooting toward Ye Yu.

The sound of blades tearing through the air rang out without pause.

Ye Yu did not act recklessly. He had no intention of taking the attacks head-on. Instead, he used Water Command, forming countless streams of water before him to devour the sword energy.

Seeing this, Cao Angyang immediately changed the seal formed by his single hand.

The countless streams of sword energy around him continuously merged and reorganized, forming a colossal divine sword more than a thousand zhang long.

Cao Angyang lightly tapped his toes against the ground and leaped atop it.

The clouds in the sky scattered before him.

Golden sunlight poured over Cao Angyang, making him look like a supreme deity.

With one hand, he controlled the enormous sword and brought it down with tremendous force.

It split the sun and moon, tore apart the sky, and descended with unstoppable momentum.

The blade had yet to arrive, but its sword energy was already upon him.

The streams of water protecting Ye Yu were completely torn apart and could no longer reform.

Sword cries echoed throughout heaven and earth.

The sword energy locked completely onto Ye Yu, leaving him nowhere to evade.

At that critical moment, Ye Yu used the innate divine ability he had obtained from Madam Jin, Zero Sense Leap.

In an instant, his figure vanished completely.

When he appeared again, he was already beside Cao Angyang.

Before the latter could fully react, Ye Yu drove a fist straight into his chest.

Cao Angyang's body suddenly froze.

Then the countless streams of sword energy surrounding him slowly dispersed.

The enormous divine sword also dimmed in an instant before disappearing entirely.

Everything happened in the span of a single breath.

By the time Gu Qinglan reacted, Cao Angyang had already become a corpse and died on the spot.

She could hardly believe her eyes.

When she first met Ye Yu at Heavenly Mountain Pass, he had only been in the True God Realm.

Yet now he could kill Cao Angyang in an instant?

This was truly unbelievable!

Especially that final movement. It had caused no fluctuation of divine power whatsoever.

No one could possibly know where he would appear. It was virtually impossible to guard against.

What kind of divine art was that?

More and more questions filled Gu Qinglan's mind.

By then, Ye Yu had already arrived before her and raised a hand slightly.

"Hey, were you scared senseless? Why are you still spacing out?"

Gu Qinglan blinked and was just about to speak when Ye Yu pulled her into his arms.

Feeling that warmth once again, Gu Qinglan did not resist at all. She merely widened her eyes instinctively.

Why has this guy suddenly become so forward?

Has he finally figured things out?

If he confesses in the next second, should I accept?

In that instant, countless thoughts raced through Gu Qinglan's mind.

But all of them were interrupted by a hoarse voice.

"You've grown strong very quickly since leaving me. In less than a year, you've already entered the Ancient God Realm. Such speed is truly astonishing."

Hearing this, Gu Qinglan turned to look behind her.

Madam Jin was slowly walking over from the distance, pursing her lips as though adjusting something.

Indeed, the reason Ye Yu had pulled Gu Qinglan into his arms was entirely to avoid Madam Jin's coiling toad tongue.

It had nothing to do with him becoming more forward.

It had all been nothing more than Gu Qinglan's imagination.
