Liang Yi's face was pale, with his spiritual power utterly depleted, his eyes began to darken, and his body started to sway unsteadily.

He had sensed something wrong the moment that eerie eyeball appeared, and the emergence of the task only confirmed the doubts in his heart.

Therefore, to shatter the projection of the Abyss Will, Liang Yi followed up his first sword strike with a second immediate slash!

If the first sword strike sought lethal power, then the second, with the Cliff Sword Intent at its core, was more aimed at targeting the Abyss Intent.

Executing two such sword strikes in quick succession, even with the Endless Dao as his fundamental cultivation technique, Liang Yi could hardly bear it; his body felt incredibly hollow and uncomfortable.

However, fortunately, a pair of gentle and timely arms appeared, allowing Liang Yi to lean on her.

The familiar fragrance enveloped him, and the soft, smooth touch immediately relaxed Liang Yi's heart as he raised his head to see who had come.

"Senior brother, you really went overboard..." Su Youyi frowned lightly, looking somewhat displeased at her senior brother in her arms.

She had seen every move her senior brother had made clearly, only at that time, the whispers of the eyeball were at their most intense and erosive. To prevent her from being distracted, he chose not to join her in a combined sword strike.

"The situation was urgent, I had no choice..." Liang Yi gave a silent smile, took the Spirit Pill that his junior sister had bought earlier in Medicine City, and began trying hard to recover his mana.

"Brother!" Yue Bai felt extreme anxiety upon seeing Liang Yi in such a state, and in a blink, she had moved gracefully to Liang Yi and Su Youyi's side.

"Don't panic, I'm just a bit drained." Liang Yi casually stroked the little fox's head and reassured her not to be so alarmed.

"Liang Bro, what was that just now..." Zhou Zuixi approached with some hesitation.

Those eyes were just too strange; even now, he was still feeling an aftertaste of fear. Amazingly, though the eyeball wasn't looking at him, he felt as though it was staring right back.

Just one glance rekindled Zhou Zuixi's sensation of standing on the edge of a precipice, feeling intense trepidation, as if his head was spinning with the urge to plunge into the Abyss!

Liu Rouxin stood by with a strange expression, watching Liang Yi leaning into Su Youyi's embrace.

But she also felt a certain gravitas in her heart, for this was her first encounter with such a thing. If not for the Blood Dragon's soul automatically protecting her, she might have fallen for it, making it something she had to guard against.

"That was a projection of the Abyss Will, summoned by that creature using the residual Abyss Intent in this secret realm. I'm not clear on its purpose, but I know that it can open the Abyss Gate and bring forth the Abyss!"

After a brief rest, Liang Yi casually separated from his junior sister's embrace and offered this explanation to the curious gazes of those around him.

Su Youyi pretended to look towards the center where her senior brother had directed his two sword strikes, lightly touching her ear hair and her earlobes flushed almost imperceptibly red.

"Be careful, he's not dead."

Staring into the center of the smoke and dust, Liang Yi's expression grew solemn once more.

Hearing Liang Yi's words, everyone's heart skipped a beat. Even if there were two more Seventh Realm cultivators, those two sword strikes would have been enough to kill them, and yet Liang Yi said the projection of the Abyss Will was not dead?

Su Youyi waved her sleeves casually, and a gentle breeze dispersed the dust-filled sky, revealing the truth within.

Seeing the scene obscured by smoke and dust, Yue Bai and the others couldn't help but tense up once again.

A palm as white and smooth as a jade mirror blocked in front of that pair of eyes, with two deeply engraved sword marks on the back that were still visible, and the blurry wounds still flickered with lightning.

The spot where the palm emerged was actually a crack about three inches in diameter!

A gust of wind blew out from the crack, heading straight for Liang Yi and the others!

"Careful!"

Uncle Orange moved swiftly, opening his gaping maw on the path before the wind arrived, swallowing it whole into his belly!

While Liang Yi and the others were still puzzled, a large patch of Uncle Orange's yellow-orange fur on his belly dried up and faded, turning into a lifeless gray!

Given Uncle Orange's vitality comparable to that of a Body Cultivator, each of his hairs could be made into a low-level Magic Artifact, yet now they were falling off in great clumps!

A pained expression rarely seen appeared on Uncle Orange's face, the first time Liang Yi had ever seen it since Uncle Orange was born.

Seeing Uncle Orange's belly like this, Liang Yi suddenly remembered something and took out a Three Elements Clear Dew Pill previously bought in Medicine Valley, feeding it directly into Uncle Orange's ears and mouth.

"Hisss, damn, that's disgusting, meow…"

Only when the effect of the Spirit Pill diffused did the pained expression on Uncle Orange's large face diminish, cursing as he spoke.

"What was that?" Liang Yi recalled the gust of wind just now; to both the naked eye and Divine Sense, it appeared as no more than an ordinary breeze.

"Abyss Breath, the owner of these hands must be an Abyss Envoy, bestowed with power directly by the Abyss, just like Cang Dong from the Purple Cloud Phoenix Extreme Secret Realm! Any Cultivator touched by that gust will have their vitality, flesh, and Divine Soul scattered throughout the world like dandelion seeds blown away by the wind!"

Uncle Orange huffed coldly, wishing he could bite to death such an Abyss lackey.

Liang Yi's heart sank. If it weren't for the help of his father-in-law Su Yi in the Purple Cloud Phoenix Extreme Secret Realm, he and his junior sister would have likely met their end there.

Now they had encountered another Abyss Envoy? And unlike Cang Dong, who awakened True Intent from an illusion, this fellow's cultivation had not been reduced at all!

"Truly worthy of being that person's disciple, to have left injuries on me…" A gender-neutral and soothing voice, which one couldn't distinguish as male or female, suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked towards the crack where the Abyss Will's projection was. The voice came from there.

"However, you did quite well. I could have sent at least an avatar here, but now only a hand has come through." The owner of the voice actually complimented Liang Yi highly; if such a person could be employed by their Abyss, he could at least dominate an epoch.

Alas, the Abyss had long since issued an Execution Order against Liang Yi, with a level of urgency even surpassing that for Chen Hua, who was implicated by the gate!

"Just give up nicely. Now that I am here, this Abyss Gate will certainly open. The only thing you can do now is to run away with your tails between your legs, as far as you possibly can!"

In just a few words, the injuries on the hand in front of the crack had already healed as if they never existed. As his main body resided in the Abyss, he could be described as an eternal existence; such injuries were really nothing to him.

"Anyone can talk big, but with just one hand, how much strength can you really exert?" Liu Rouxin couldn't tolerate someone being more arrogant than him; who was this hidden yet revealing fellow?
