Wang Er Zhu was bewildered; he had barely taken a step when Huo Ru Mo appeared! He quickly retaliated and engaged in battle with Yun Zhi Yue. As time dwindled, he decided to fight while retreating deeper, leading Yun Zhi Yue towards the exit.
Wang Er Zhu had a good impression of Yun Zhi Yue and didn't want her to stop here, but he could only assist her to this extent. He wasn't sure if Huo Ru Mo's exit would count as passing the trial.
True to its reputation as the Fangcun Realm Peak, the combat prowess was quite formidable. Even with his thick skin, he felt pain.
Inside Wu Zong Dian, Su Ye watched Huo Ru Mo meditating under the Bi Fang Emperor's celestial domain and then glanced at Yun Zhi Yue in the Shuijing. He chuckled softly; it was indeed quite interesting.
At the edge of the exit, Long Kuang and Feng Nie, who could have left long ago, exchanged glances at Yun Zhi Yue's state. Suddenly, they both attacked Yun Zhi Yue, justifying their actions by claiming she had fallen into madness and needed to be subdued to avoid interfering with others.
"How shameless of you two! Lurking here like this is despicable!" Wang Er Zhu shouted angrily.
But the two paid no heed to Wang Er Zhu's outcry; this was a golden opportunity to strike. The sounds of Long Yin and Feng Ming collided as Yun Zhi Yue was caught off guard by their combined assault, slamming her against the edge of the formation.
The formation trembled but surprisingly held firm and did not shatter.
Wang Er Zhu and Yun Zhi Yue had suffered setbacks and were about to lend assistance when unexpectedly, Yun Zhi Yue got back on her feet. Surrounded by a swirl of Black Lotus energy, she made a swift motion as if drawing a blade.
Had she even practiced swordsmanship? Where was her blade?
Dian Yue Qi radiated purple sword light that startled Feng Rujiao from his meditation.
As he watched the Heavenly Emperor's Soul Artifact, Zijingtou, fly towards him, his pupils constricted: "Bi Fang Emperor, save my cousin!"
The purple-glowing Yuan Yue curved blade easily tore through the Zheng Xin Formation, appearing in Yun Zhi Yue's hand. The exhilarating and joyful sword light enveloped her completely.
While others were unaware, Long Kuang and Feng Nie certainly recognized this as the Heavenly Emperor's Soul Weapon, Zijingtou. Their faces turned pale.
Before they could even think of dodging, a single slash descended. The purple light blotted out the sun; they were unafraid of Yun Zhi Yue's cultivation level, but the unstoppable Di Wei contained within that blade was far beyond their capacity to resist.
Elder You also felt darkness closing in; it was over. He couldn't act in time to stop it. The prodigies from the Long and Feng clans had risked their lives in pursuit of mastery—this would lead to significant trouble!
At that moment when the blade struck out, Yun Zhi Yue regained her composure under the influence of Zijingtou. Staring at the crescent-shaped purple blade in her hand in a daze, Yue Qi also felt a sense of detachment.
When Bi Fang Emperor made his move, Yue Qi did not intervene; he cast a glance at Long Kuang before looking back at Yun Zhi Yue with a hint of amusement in his eyes—she still remembered how to use the swordsmanship he had taught her.
A small flame no larger than a palm blocked the torrent of sword light; it was clear who had made that move.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Nie bowed in unison and said, "Thank you, Bi Fang Emperor, for saving our lives."
As the Flame Blade Aura dissipated completely, Feng Nie turned to Yun Zhi Yue and coldly remarked, "You failed at the very first step with Huo Ru Mo. This shows your weak character. You have lost this round of the Zheng Xin Formation; you should leave Wujie now!"
Yun Zhi Yue pointed at the incense table that had just finished burning. "The rule is that if one exits the formation within the time of a single incense stick, it counts as passing the challenge. I exited within the stipulated time; how can this not be considered a success? Po Zhen did not specify any prior conditions for exiting the formation."
Feng Nie sneered, "Clever as a tongue can be! If we were to take your words seriously, then none of us should worship our sects anymore. Watching you wielding Mi Man Di Wei's Soul Artifact to wreak havoc, I wonder if such a method of passing would be recognized by Li Shang Di Jun."
Yun Zhi Yue frowned and casually tossed the Heavenly Emperor's Soul Weapon underfoot. "I am a person of the Underworld and will no longer use Heavenly Techniques. Is this satisfactory to you?"
