"Senior Brother, I don't want to say any sentimental nonsense."
Chen Sanshi sent a transmission. "But are you sure you want to face so many Immortal Venerables alone? I can stay and help. I might not play a decisive role, but I definitely won't hold you back."
"Junior Brother."
Fang Fuyao sent back, "You're underestimating me, the Sword Venerable, far too much. Just leave. Even if I am besieged, I can still carve a path of blood with the sword in my hand."
Seeing that the white-robed figure was still hesitating, he added, "Don't forget the purpose of our journey. Your life and mine are nothing. What matters is retrieving what Elder Mei left behind."
Chen Sanshi said no more. He transformed into a streak of fire and shot into the heavens, vanishing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
"Don't let him get away!"
The Five Elements Venerables tried to give chase.
Streaks of sword shadows wove themselves into a gigantic net, blocking their path.
"Fang Fuyao!"
The Metal Element Venerable flew into a rage. "Are you determined to seek death?!"
A golden radiance erupted from his mouth, transforming above the clouds into a golden saber more than a zhang long. It was as if a giant beyond the heavens wielded the blade, slashing down at the earth.
The other four Venerables of water, fire, wood, and earth also mobilized their corresponding Heaven and Earth Laws.
For a time.
The Five Elements gathered, and the entire world seemed to come alive as it crushed down upon Fuyao.
This Sword Venerable feared nothing. Alone with a single sword, he danced through heaven and earth like a roaming dragon, constantly clashing against the power of the Five Elements.
Rumble—
Thunderous booms rang without end.
For a short while.
