Time raced backward.
The Suspended World.
Guangyang Sect.
"Go! Hold them off. I need to learn more about them," Wang Hongdao ordered.
"Yes, sir."
Zhao Wuchui flexed his fingers inside the Dark Red Gauntlets, then lunged toward Gu Qingshan and Mountain Girl.
Suddenly, heaven and earth went dark.
The entire world dissolved into foam and scattered across the black void.
Wang Hongdao cried out, "Such power—just what is it?"
Boom!!! A man clad in black scale armor came crashing down, clashing with a Sword Aura of unfathomable depth.
"I've seen all your swordsmanship!" the man said.

At the instant the two clashed, everything around them—the people and the world alike—was shaken into nothingness by the force of their blows.
The River of Time appeared in the void.
The Sword Aura landed on the river, doubled back in one direction, then plunged into a fragment of history.
Du Gufeng looked mildly surprised. "You ran? I'd almost forgotten—you're very good at running away..."

The Soul Screamer was about to unleash a scream that would sweep across the entire field—
A figure suddenly appeared.
Gu Qingshan.
He had barely caught his breath when the entire world vanished.
Every monster, every cultivator, even the Soul Screamer, was utterly destroyed.
Gray serpents with human heads appeared in the void and lunged swiftly toward Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan's gaze was indifferent. Blazing Sword Auras surged around him.
Bathed in the Sword Auras, the serpents endured countless dense slashes. They gradually turned to skeletons, then crumbled into dust.
A gust of wind scattered the dust through the void, where it became drifting veils of mist.
Du Gufeng stood amid the mist
