"What a Su Shi'er. He really is a tough one to deal with."
Panic flickered through Cui Shaolin's eyes, but even he could not help admiring Su Shi'er's decisiveness.
He hated Su Shi'er to the bone, yet he had to admit that this was a worthy opponent.
"With you beside me on the Yellow Springs Road, I won't be lonely."
Su Shi'er spoke softly, but the killing intent in his words made Cui Shaolin's expression atop the Altar grow graver still.
Just as Su Shi'er made up his mind, driving the Spatial Secret Law harder and preparing to fight to the death, a calm voice sounded behind him.
"Young friend, it isn't time to resign yourself to fate."
Su Shi'er stopped short.
"Hm?"
The Mystic Woman Avatar stepped forward.
Her gaze swept over the array light surrounding Su Shi'er, then turned toward the depths of Tianjue Peak.
An indescribable complexity entered her once-calm expression.
"The array's backlash is tremendous right now. But no matter how powerful it is, the Array Restrictions left by the Heavenly Absolute Sect are still here."
As she spoke, her gaze settled on Su Shi'er.
"Leave this to me. Your attainments in the Array Dao are extraordinary, young friend. Take this chance to recover your strength and find a way to break the array completely.
"We must not let the plot of the Divine Realm's forces and those in our own Cultivation World who harbor ill intentions succeed!"
Hearing this, Su Shi'er quickly looked her over. He froze, then immediately felt a terrible premonition.
But...
Before Su Shi'er could say another word, the Mystic Woman Avatar's aura surged violently.
Her hands flew through a series of array seals imbued with Mysterious Power, sending them into the surrounding array.
In an instant, light flowed through the array.
