Wang Xuan realized something was wrong. He silently moved away, plunging deep into the pitch-black cosmos, only to be intercepted once again.
"Once, twice—it's been like this both times. Did they use a Teleportation Array or a Void-Breaking Talisman, trying to block me within this area?"
He did not avoid it. Carrying his iron rod, he walked forward to face the Supernatural Practitioner whose figure glimmered hazily in the distance, ready to fight.
A few hundred miles meant nothing to them; they could cross it in an instant.
Sure enough, the other party closed in as well, stepping through the void with a solemn expression.
The newcomer wore green robes and had a powerful build, giving off a tough, unyielding air. He did not utter any harsh words, merely stating three brief ones: "Yun Mufeng."
After announcing his name, he blocked Wang Xuan's path.
Yun Mufeng was strikingly handsome but exceedingly silent. He made an inviting gesture at Wang Xuan, signaling for him to attack. There was nothing else to say.
"You look like someone with a bit of pride. Why did you come here to take part in this selection?" Wang Xuan, instead, was in no hurry to strike.
"Not everyone can act as they please. One may call oneself a Great Sage, but living in this world, few can truly transcend it." Yun Mufeng's emotions did not stir.
In an instant, blinding lightning appeared around him. His entire body was draped in a layer of golden radiance, thunder serving as armor that covered him from head to toe.
At the same time, a Green Long Saber appeared in his hand. In a flash, it shot forth dazzling saber light, cleaving open the Cosmic Void. Then, with each step spanning dozens of miles, he charged straight in to kill.
