Sadly, the situation was far from as simple as imagined. The elder from Jade Clear Sect seemed to realize the opponent's strength, avoided a direct confrontation, and quickly turned and sped away.
At the same time, threats from all directions were already upon him. Sky Shadow had just made a move when he suddenly felt his feet tighten, his lower body entangled by vines that had sprung from nowhere.
The change was too sudden! Shocked, Sky Shadow quickly cut through the vines, trying to put some distance between himself and the enemy to fall back into defense; but he was not facing just one person, but more than a dozen experts. As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Sky Shadow's movements were only half formed when an unknown palm struck him hard, not fatally, but enough to throw him off balance.
Simultaneously, groups of ice sealed with fierce flames shot at him from two different directions. Mingfei and Zhan Yu attacked with a howl, accompanied by six other people.
At this point, Sky Shadow could no longer pay attention to his surroundings, and suddenly he burst out with a gush of energy to clear the area. Before he could move, he was quickly entangled by more vines.
Damn it! He had underestimated the enemy. Sky Shadow glared fiercely at Mengdie, and regardless of anything else, he lashed out several hand chops, "Angelina, what are you waiting for?"
In fact, the clash between everyone was over in an instant; Angelina had already burst into a surprise attack and was swiftly approaching. With her strength, she could at best face three or four elders at the same time, and she was completely restricted. The Jade Clear Sect appeared to be determined to kill Sky Shadow, only sending four elders to restrain Angelina and the rest to target Sky Shadow.
Four or five people were enough to trouble Sky Shadow, let alone a large group. He was overburdened and in just a few breaths, he was soaked with sweat. With so many attacking him, even if they couldn't kill him, they would certainly exhaust him to death.
But who was he? He is Sky Shadow! How could he be defeated by this bunch of second-rate fighters? A warrior without an explosive power would never reach the end. In that instant, a seed of anger burst open inside him, and his eyes turned blood red as he entered the Blank Paper Realm. He knew this was a life and death struggle, and he started swinging wildly in a frenzied, all-or-nothing manner.
If you think you can crush Sky Shadow just like that, you're gravely mistaken. Despite the threats from all sides, his own quality was extremely fierce, and his movements created a powerful force. His body was continuously attacked, but for the time being, the members of the Jade Clear Sect couldn't inflict a fatal wound on him.
Just when they thought that, Sky Shadow suddenly felt an excruciating pain pierce his body, and his mind went blank.
Buzz...
Damn, that chronic problem had to flare up at such a time! On pure survival instinct, Sky Shadow didn't look back and dove headlong in an unknown direction, determined to shake off a few people and then blast into the sky to escape using Air Travel.
Pfft!
He had barely risen halfway when Mengdie kicked him down headfirst.
The members of the Jade Clear Sect seemed to also realize the terror of Sky Shadow's ability. If it weren't for the group's collective attack, it would be difficult for two or three individuals to overcome him alone. Even Protector Jin had lost to Sky Shadow. Admittedly, Protector Jin's strength was not the most prominent among the four protectors. After all, Mengdie was exceptionally gifted, and Mingfei and Zhan Yu were a bit stronger than her. Still, she was a rare talent, and yet, in just a few moves, she was severely wounded by Sky Shadow, enough to show that he was someone who must not be left alive.
Damn, this is bad, Sky Shadow is in danger!
Angelina had not missed this scene. No matter how strong Sky Shadow was, it would be difficult for him to withstand all these people at once. To make things worse, his body chose this moment to betray him, undoubtedly adding insult to injury in an already disadvantageous situation.
In this extremely urgent moment, she must support Sky Shadow, even if only for a brief instant. With this thought, Angelina risked being attacked, forcing her way through the encirclement and rushing towards Sky Shadow, hoping he could hold on.
"Heh!"
Everyone thought Sky Shadow was trying to escape, but little did they know that his thinking was so agile and completely unexpected. He suddenly turned around and delivered successive Black Tiger Heart Digging moves, his hand chopping down, and his palm wind piercing through the chest of an elder clad in robes.
Sky Shadow made a sudden leap back, staggering and hastily searching for a concoction, his desperation obvious... He never considered failure an accident. To Sky Shadow, being unable to fight was just that, and he would never make excuses for his defeat, but such a failure made him feel both helpless and infuriated.
Jade Clear Sect wouldn't give Sky Shadow any time to react. Before he could swallow a draft of a potion, he was hit by the fastest Mengdie with a precise "dragonfly touches the water" kick aimed at his vital point, causing the barely ingested potion to spray out.
Sky Shadow looked at Mengdie with eyes full of unwillingness as his figure slowly collapsed...
One of the closest elders was the first to arrive. Looking down at Sky Shadow lying on the ground, he said to Mengdie, "My lord, should we execute this man now?"
Mengdie's gaze swept coldly over Sky Shadow and turned away, neither consenting nor denying—the skill Sky Shadow used seemed to be the Blank Paper Realm. What was his relationship with Feng Yi...
In less than a second, the rest of the pursuers also arrived. Just when everyone thought Sky Shadow had lost his fighting ability, who knew he would suddenly lash out with two consecutive hand chops from the ground, instantly killing the two elders closest to him.
Mingfei was furiously agitated, struggling to speak, "You... you should have already lost consciousness."
"Foolish, haven't you ever heard the saying that all's fair in war?" Sky Shadow said, then suddenly pivoted and made his escape. Although he was an actor, he knew there was still no chance of victory in this fight.
Shoo, shoo, shoo...
At this moment, Sky Shadow flitted like lightning, his figure completely turning into a blurred shadow fleeing. He had believed that with the mastery of the Blank Paper Realm, he could easily shake off his pursuers, but no matter how godlike his speed was, he was always met head-on by Mengdie and couldn't shake her off.
"Impossible, your speed definitely wasn't this fast before."
Indeed, Sky Shadow didn't deny that Mengdie's movements were fast, but not enough to catch up with him in the state of Air Travel within the Blank Paper Realm.
As for him now, he naturally didn't know that Mengdie had mastered the power of the storm, which, when integrated with her own techniques, could bring her movements to perfection.
Mengdie didn't respond to this issue at all.
Sky Shadow never expected such an outcome. Was he really going to die here? Dammit, dammit! If it weren't for his physical condition, if it weren't for being outnumbered, if it weren't for underlying issues, his twitching face showed both unwillingness and extreme annoyance. Today was absolutely ruined! He had contemplated defeat, imagined every scenario, but never thought that even in the state of Air Travel within the Blank Paper Realm, his speed would actually be inferior to Mengdie.
Sky Shadow hesitated for quite a while, his eyes gradually clearing. Though his body was devoid of strength, as long as he could fight, he wouldn't give up. This was the last dignity of a warrior.
"Run, why aren't you running?" Mingfei said with a hateful glare.
A wicked smile played on the corner of Sky Shadow's mouth, "Wouldn't it be better to kill two more?"
"You! Hmph, just a fellow who can only boast," Mingfei taunted. "As you are now, you probably can hardly even move."
"What did you say?" Sky Shadow felt a movement in his body, indeed sensing that his blood flow had been sealed.
Mingfei spoke with pride, "You think you're buying time, being clever, yet don't you realize that my Five Elements Seal also requires time to ferment? Or are you under the illusion that on this vast planet, someone could save you?"
"Such arrogant words, just Jade Clear Sect—I want to see who among you can touch him."
Just then, a voice exploded like thunder in everyone's ears. Kexiao's voice came from afar, growing closer. His presence was subdued, as if he had lost all essence of existence, yet stood there as calm as an ancient, unchanging fossil, giving off an abrupt yet inevitable impression. Even Mengdie didn't notice his arrival.
