On the wasteland, Yan Jiushi once again intercepted the Divine Bloodline, while the Plain-clothed Figure appeared at the same time and stood silently watching.
"Who exactly are you?"
Ji Yuqing's expression was ice-cold as she asked frigidly.
Yan Jiushi turned his gaze toward the plain-clothed man not far away, unable to conceal the killing intent in his eyes.
Evil aura spread as Yan Jiushi returned to his original appearance, his face wreathed in black markings and utterly devoid of emotion.
"Hmm?"
At the sight of those familiar black markings, a glimmer flashed deep in the plain-clothed man's eyes. He remained silent.
As the two powerhouses clashed, the Scroll of God appeared once more. With the lesson from before still fresh in her mind, Ji Yuqing struck with her ultimate move from the outset. Her divine bloodline surged, and purple light dazzled the eye.
"Scroll of God, Divine Dance of Heavenly Stars."
The heaven-shaking martial art of the Heavenly Tome emerged, and eight stars manifested in the night sky. Endless stellar power descended, vast divine might crashing down from the heavens.
Not far away, the Plain-clothed Figure watched this astonishing sight, specks of light flickering in his eyes. The Scroll of God truly deserved its title as the foremost of the Heavenly Tomes.
As supreme might descended, Yan Jiushi neither dodged nor retreated. Evil essence roiled around him like dragons and tigers, his immense pressure surging as he forcibly withstood the power of the stars.
The two moves collided, their aftermath shaking the heavens. Great stars shattered, and evil aura tore through the air toward the front.
Ji Yuqing stepped lightly on lotus feet, evading the lingering force. With a sweep of her slender hand, a long purple sash flew forth, tempered a hundred times within softness, scattering the evil aura.
