The Jade Clear Sect is situated on the edge of the territory of Zana, nestled amongst tranquil mountains, clear waters, and a grove resounding with the twittering of birds and the aromatic scent of flowers. This sect is recognized as an ancient martial-arts organization that possesses a vast range of knowledge, extending from the sophisticated ancient arts of Qimen Dunjia and Five Elements, down to the foundation of alchemy and heart methods. The scope of their tasks is wide, dealing largely with espionage, assassin missions and many others.
Regardless of the mysterious and scarce number of disciples in the Jade Clear Sect —totaling to tens of thousands— these individuals are not to be belittled. Each of them are highly-skilled experts, capable of standing and battling alone against hundreds of opponents, thus wielding immense power.
This just goes to show that the average strength of the Jade Clear Sect disciples is noteworthy. Not to mention, the heavier hitters include the Hall Master, Elders, Law-enforcer, Emperor Qing, including the prestigious sect leader himself.
The unforeseen images appearing on the Light Screen, made Mingfei exclaim in surprise, "I didn't expect the Junior Law-enforcer to be unable to defeat this man in a short time..."
"After all, the opponent is none other than the Revenge Shadow Rider; it's not surprising." come a deep voice in reply. Though the speaker was unseen, the semi-visible shadow beneath his cloak exuded an intense and overwhelming aura.
"Master, your words are quite right, however… as compared to him, I am more concerned with the attitude of Zana's government. Are you intending to hand the Revenge Shadow Rider over to them if found?"
"Man proposes, God disposes. He who has no expectations suffers no disappointments, follow the course of nature and leave everything to fate …" As the voice slowly faded away, so too did the silhouette of the master disappearing instantly.
"Mingfei, it looks like our master didn't appreciate your question; maybe you were asking too many?"
"Haha, you need not be concerned about that, Zhan Yu."
"I need to remind you, Mingfei, do not underestimate the Revenge Shadow Rider. His strength is probably beyond Junior Law-enforcer's abilities. Don't forget…you have a mission."
"It seems like you're pretty happy, Zhan Yu. Thank you for the reminder." Mingfei replied with a slight smile, then turned and left. As she departed, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, understanding all of Master's intents. No matter if they manage to track down the Revenge Shadow Rider, they will not simply hand over all the information about him to Zana without any terms.
Considering the performance of the man in question, his abilities are not to be ignored. Despite being challenged by the junior law-enforcer, he barely broke a sweat. The mostly successful counteraction was due to the use of the Five Elements Technique. Bound by the junior law-enforcer's Five Elements Technique, known as the Frost Realm, the opponent struggled.
If he had adopted a head-on combat style, the outcome might not have been very optimistic. The Frost Realm used by the junior law-enforcer was only of an intermediate level. The terrifying ability of the senior water progenitor's 'Frost Realm' technique could freeze time and space, thereby thoroughly sealing an individual's consciousness within their mental world.
Mingfei knew only a little about Mengdie's capabilities, as she didn't specialize in water conjuring abilities but in the power to decay darkness. Therefore, understanding Master's intent solved the situation, then posing the question of whether or not the Revenge Shadow Rider would be left unattended. However, actually executing it is a different circumstance.
Regardless of the decades-long experience in observing the situation, the junior law-enforcer still remains on the offensive.
Mengdie was swift like a swallow and thunderous like a charging horse. Surrounded by a thin layer, almost invisible mist, she was alight. But Feng Yi, who was the opponent, wasn't fooled by the almost translucent watery fog.
The issue before Feng Yi was similar to the one just faced by the Sky Shadow. To keep up with the speed and utilize his strength judiciously. He had to carefully observe and identify his opponent's weaknesses and accordingly devise a strategy rather than thoughtlessly elevating his power blindly. At least he was uncertain if he could keep up with speed at this moment, as Mengdie was able to get away when he was in that state in the past. He refrained from utilizing his full power as he wasn't willing to needlessly exert his energy. However, this was suggestive of Mengdie's lightning-fast speed.
Feng Yi had been keeping a close watch on Mengdie's surroundings…
"Here she comes!" Before he could react, Mengdie approached him like a loosed arrow, bringing with her a more concentrated energy. This Mengdie was not like the one who fought with the Sky Shadow before, but instead, she was someone capable of delivering powerful attacks.
Contrary to the expectation, Mengdie didn't attack. Instead, she hovered around the Revenge Shadow Rider, blowing his messy hair, making them sway. Everyone could imagine the incredible speed of Mengdie's rush, from the gusts of the harsh wind visibly slapping against his face. The exclaiming audience couldn't help but tremble.
Pop...
Following a loud crack, as if thunder, Feng Yi managed to block the unexpected rush of Mengdie. He was out of breath, but due to the sudden burst of speed, he stumbled and retreated…
Of course, what people saw were slow talks of the real-time events. The scene was filled with constant buzzing and cracking noises. In the radius of several metres around him, there was a visible ripple effect on the ground, making him the centre of a deep pit, and the surrounding air was disrupted due to the shocks of the whistling wind. All that people could see was the Revenge Shadow Rider's persistence in defence, but they could not perceive Mengdie's movements clearly; she was too fast.
Following a loud crack, the Revenge Shadow Rider finally couldn't hold up to the vigorous attacks and was thrown off. The crowd gasped in shock to see their seemingly invincible Revenge Shadow Rider in a pitiful condition.
Mengdie, on the other hand, in complete control of the situation, was also beautiful. Her delicate physique and expressionless face roused protection from men and made people step back in awe. Feng Yi knew for certain that these expressions were not at all an act she was putting on but a rather intriguing side of her. This realisation poked at his only weak spot.
Everyone thought that Feng Yi would not recover soon. However, rubbing his aching neck, he slowly stood up and dusted himself off, then said in a teasing tone, "You hit well, and your speed is quite impressive. But you lack power. Keep trying."
This comment seemed to bother Mengdie slightly. She flexed her fingers, and suddenly a dewdrop formed in the air. With her continued movements, the single droplet grew and rapidly started revolving around her, forming a gigantic water dragon circling her...
Feng Yi was taken aback. It seemed that she was preparing for a major attack. He ought not to forget that her single droplet was powerful enough to slice through skin and arteries. What damage then, would a water dragon cause?
