As soon as Heaven-Shaking Star Cry emerged, resplendent starlight rained down across the sky, accompanied by endless howling.
Though that blood-red escape light was incomparably swift, it could not evade the densely packed starlight. Yet the bloodlight seemed extraordinarily peculiar. Even when pierced through by the starlight, it recovered in but an instant.
Seeing this, Zhang Yu knew that his opponent was even more troublesome than he had imagined. Against such an adversary, unless he could kill them in a single blow, it would be difficult to eliminate them.
He realized that this battle would require a little more effort.
Fortunately, he had already sent his flying sword ahead. With the speed of a flying sword, it ought to reach the Profound Residence a step faster than he could in flight.
Once it arrived there, he could use this sword to see exactly what was happening at the Profound Residence, then respond according to the circumstances.
Above Crane Hall, Wu Ziwu was still using Heartlight Seal to pressure Yun Chen.
Yun Chen had already exhausted the three magical artifacts on his person. Now, he could only rely on a technique he had mastered for disrupting qi movements to endure the next breath cycle.
Yet he also understood that this technique could deceive the other side at most once. Once his opponent was prepared, it might no longer be of use.
He thought to himself, If it truly comes to it, I can only use the method my teacher passed down.
When Zhu had departed, he had imparted a cultivation art to him. Yet he had also warned him that, while this art possessed no small power, its uncertainty was too great and it might even damage one's foundations. Thus, unless driven to the brink, it absolutely must not be used.
