Chapter Forty: Blurred Figures

loded with a deafening roar, vanishing in an instant.Throughout the entire process, Ginger Cloud was as if she hadn't felt a thing, not a scratch on her body.Only then did he retract his gaze from abo...For death, Jiang Yun was not unfamiliar nor afraid. If it weren't for his grandfather, sixteen years ago he would have already died. Now, every day he lived was a bonus.

In the mountains, he had come close to death several times, which made him far more able to face death calmly than others. Even now, when he once again felt the threat of death, there was no fear on his face, only regret and guilt in his heart.

It's a regret that there will never be another chance to see grandpa, Yue Rou, or the familiar faces of Jiang Village; it's guilt that I couldn't protect Lu Xiaoyu well and also failed to live up to grandpa's expectations.

He was too lazy even to speak, he just coldly stared at Fang Yuxian, waiting for that finger of his to pierce his throat.

All the people on the plaza, though they couldn't hear the sounds within the golden dome, could clearly see what was happening inside. And right now, this scene sent a shock through everyone. Could Fang Yu Xuan really be about to kill Jiang Yun

In most people's minds, Fang YuXuan probably just wanted to scare Jiang Yun, after all, there wasn't a deadly feud between Jiang Yun and Fang Ruolin.

Especially until now, those elder peak masters haven't shown themselves, which clearly indicates they all believe Fang Yuchen wouldn't kill Jiang Yun. Otherwise, they would have definitely appeared to stop it.

"Kill him, kill him!"

However, Fang Ruolin, with a face full of hatred, was muttering softly under her breath. She naturally hoped that her brother would kill Jiang Yun because Jiang Yun's slap just now had humiliated her. Only if Jiang Yun died could she vent her anger slightly.

Just as Gingercloud waited for death to come, a voice of an old man suddenly came from afar: "Master Fang, please spare his life!"

Someone actually spoke up and pleaded for Jiang Yun, which caused everyone to be stunned, their faces filled with surprise. They hurriedly turned their heads to see where the voice came from.

The voice, suddenly, came from within the Hundred Beasts Peak of the Five Peaks.

"This must be the voice of an elder, right"

It must be sympathy for Jiang Yun, so he spoke up to plead for Jiang Yun.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd understood, and Fang Ruolin's face changed drastically upon hearing the voice. She knew that the owner of this voice was the elder of Baishou Peak who had been secretly paying attention to Lu Xiaoyu.

Fang Yu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. His finger, which was placed on Jiang Yun's throat, did not continue forward, but neither did it retract. The aged voice rose again, "Nephew Fang, let him go. This matter, it's best to just stop here. Let us both forget about it!"

A cold light flashed in Fang Yuxuan's eyes. He naturally knew who the voice belonged to and was even clearer about the meaning behind the other party's words.

If the other party doesn't pursue Lu Xiaoyu's responsibility for deceiving Fang Ruolin out of the sect, she will spare Jiang Yun.

After a moment of thought, Fang Yuxuan smiled faintly. The golden shield that enveloped him and Jiang Yun instantly vanished, and he said in a loud voice, "Since Elder Sha has spoken on their behalf, this disciple will naturally give them face."

As he spoke, Fang Yu-xuan slowly retracted his fingers. Just when everyone thought he was really going to let Jiang Yun off the hook, Fang Yu-xuan suddenly changed his tune: "However, just now he slapped Ruolin. He deserves death but can be spared life. I will cripple his hand as a punishment!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Fang Yuxuan's hand, which was about to retract, suddenly changed direction. He pointed a finger in mid-air at Jiang Yun's right hand.

This finger, as if transformed into an unparalleled divine sword, once it strikes, Ginger Cloud's right hand will undoubtedly be completely crippled. And for cultivators, losing a hand is almost equivalent to cutting off their future path of cultivation.

Everyone was shocked. Even though an elder spoke up for Jiang Yun, Fang Yuxuan dared to attack and wanted to disable his right hand. He was incredibly bold.

Not to mention these disciples, even within the Bai Shou Peak, that old man with white hair and beard, upon seeing this scene, a sudden anger appeared on his face full of wrinkles.

It was useless to be angry. He knew very well how determined Fang YuXuan was to cripple Jiang Yun. This seemingly ordinary finger strike was actually a sword strike, using the finger as a sword. Even if he wanted to save him, it was out of reach. Thus, he could only watch helplessly.

However, at this time, a change occurred!

With Fang Yu Xuan's sharp point, Jiang Yun, who had always stood still, finally moved.

A flame once again flared in his palm. Though it was incredibly faint, a talisman burned within the flames.

The talisman, engulfed by the flames, turned into ashes in an instant. Yet, within these ashes, a powerful aura arose, so immense that it shook the entire Mount Wudao.

That breath transformed into a hazy figure, standing before Jiang Yun and blocking Fang Yuxuan's about-to-fall finger.

Just as this blurry figure appeared, in a wild forest far away from the Wenda sect, a middle-aged beautiful woman who was weaving through the trees suddenly stopped, her eyebrows furrowed slightly and said, "Jiang Yun is in trouble!"

"What's the trouble" In front of the middle-aged woman, a young man also stopped, turned around, and it was none other than Dongfang Bo.

"I don't know, he just lit the talisman I gave him!"

Dongfang Bo's brows also furrowed and said, "He should be participating in the re-examination competition now. Could there be someone among Xiao Bi's opponents that he can't handle"

The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "I don't know! But since the substitute talisman has been lit, it must be able to keep him safe. We should hurry up. The longer we wait, the more dangerous it will be for the third disciple!"

Original Release

"Hmm!" Touya nodded, and the two fell silent again. Their figures flashed as they continued to weave through the jungle, vanishing without a trace in an instant.

……

When the shadowy figure appeared within the sect, Fang Yu-xuan, who had always worn a smile, finally changed his expression. He immediately retracted his finger that was about to strike and retreated backward with lightning speed, desperately widening the distance between himself and the figure.

Just as he retreated, a powerful aura erupted from his body. This aura enveloped him, transforming him into a sword, its blade pointing straight to the heavens.

Above his head, a genuine golden sword appeared, forged as if from pure gold. An imposing sharpness emanated from the blade, capable of cleaving the air itself, constantly radiating outward in frenzied waves.

It seems this is the only way to resist as much as possible the terrifying aura that the blurred figure brought.

This dramatic change naturally left most of the disciples in the square bewildered and confused. The only thing they could feel was that at this moment, Fang Yu Xuan was clearly using all his strength. And just based on this aura, he truly deserved to be the number one inner disciple!

This scene, of course, also alarmed the elders and peak masters within the Five Peaks. Several figures radiating intense light flashed about, clearly heading for the square. However, just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out in their ears: "Don't move!"-beingUpon hearing Ginger Hongzhi's words, the immortal elder staggered.Gritting his teeth, the undying elder finally stopped advancing. He abruptly turned around, looking at Jiang Hongzhi who was onl...
