Yun Ming's sword technique suddenly changed. A thunderbolt-like sword aura erupted violently, accompanied by a deafening boom that shook the heart.
As the blade trembled, the sound of thunder actually rang out, as though it contained Lightning Power.
"Hm?" Angel Yan raised an eyebrow slightly and turned her gaze toward Yun Ming.
A strange sense of danger quietly rose within her.
The next instant, flashing sword light filled her vision, like countless stars falling from the sky and turning into a dazzling rain of blades.
The surrounding flowers, grass, and stone stools were instantly reduced to ashes beneath the sword rain. The sword light swept past like a swarm of locusts, kicking up dust that filled the sky and formed a violent storm rushing toward her.
"This is... sword aura?" Angel Yan was startled. She had once accessed relevant information about Blue Star and knew something about sword aura in martial arts.
She had simply never expected that this sword aura would make her feel such an intense sense of danger.
What was going on?
Angel Yan was filled with uncertainty, but she knew she had to treat this seriously.
If she took this attack head-on, she would likely be badly injured.
Without the slightest hesitation, Angel Yan instinctively raised the Flame Sword in her hand. Blue lightning burst from its tip, and countless bolts crackled as they swept in every direction, forming a powerful defensive barrier.
"Damn!" Yun Ming stared wide-eyed at Angel Yan's actions.
Hadn't she said she would only defend?
What was with suddenly unleashing her ultimate move?
He had no time to think too much about it.
The next second, golden sword aura and blue lightning intertwined and collided throughout the space, as gold and blue light swallowed everything.
When the smoke and dust gradually dispersed, Yun Ming was revealed half-kneeling on the ground, his clothes in tatters. His entire body was charred black, his skin split and flesh torn, making him look utterly miserable.
He barely held himself up with the Flame Sword and did not collapse.
Angel Yan, meanwhile, hovered high in the air. Her golden hair was somewhat disheveled, and several bloody marks had appeared on her snow-white cheeks, with wisps of steam rising from them. She furrowed her delicate brows and stared intently at Yun Ming on the ground, her heart full of confusion.
"So he triggered the Flame Sword's energy..." Angel Yan murmured.
Only then did she understand why she had suddenly sensed danger earlier. Yun Ming had inadvertently activated the Flame Sword's power, which was why she had felt threatened.
If she had taken that attack head-on just now, she probably would have suffered badly too.
She was fine, but Yun Ming had gotten the worst of it.
"Quick, treat him immediately!" Seeing Yun Ming's poor condition, Angel Yan immediately dismissed the light barrier and signaled Mo Yi to step forward and give him emergency treatment.
Under Mo Yi's careful treatment, Yun Ming's injuries quickly eased, and his vitality gradually returned.
During the process, Yun Ming was surprised to discover that Mo Yi's energy had a peculiar amplifying effect on his Inner Force, as though it had injected a new strength into him.
Yun Ming could not help turning his gaze toward Mo Yi, his eyes filled with confusion and curiosity.
Seeing this, Mo Yi smiled. "Feeling better now? That battle between you two was truly thrilling. It got my blood pumping just watching."
Those words made Yun Ming turn to Angel Yan again. Somewhat speechless, he said, "Sis, you seem to have been a little less than trustworthy this time."
Angel Yan sat in her chair, lightly rolled her eyes, and snorted. "If I really hadn't kept my word, you'd already be lying down right now. Don't forget, one of my punches carries seven thousand years of power. Do you really think you could take it?"
Yun Ming curled his lips.
Angel Yan continued, "But putting that aside, you did surprise me. You actually managed to trigger the Flame Sword's power. I nearly couldn't keep my balance."
Both Mo Yi and Zhui were greatly shocked by this.
Mo Yi said in surprise, "Trigger the Flame Sword? That requires specific authorization!"
Zhui quickly pulled up the detailed records of her Flame Sword. After checking carefully, she found that the Flame Sword had actually activated its energy amplification trait without her granting authorization.
Although the boost was not significant, it was enough to leave Zhui utterly stunned.
Sitting on the ground, Yun Ming said somewhat blankly, "Really? I don't know what happened either. That last move didn't seem particularly special when I used it."
Angel Yan explained, "The Flame Sword doesn't necessarily require authorization to be used. It has some basic functions of its own. You may have accidentally triggered one of its mechanisms... uh."
As Angel Yan analyzed the situation, her gaze casually swept over Yun Ming. The moment she looked, her eyes froze in shock, and her words came to an abrupt halt.
Seeing the eagle, Angel Yan's eyelid twitched. She calmly looked away and said, "Go take a shower and change your clothes first. You look too disheveled right now."
"Alright."
Yun Ming stood up immediately upon hearing that. As he walked away, he asked, "Now that we're done sparring, can you send me to another planet?"
"We'll talk after you've washed up."
Yun Ming shot Angel Yan a suspicious glance, unable to stop a trace of doubt from rising in his heart. Is she going to go back on her word?
After their fight just now, he felt that Angel Yan seemed a little unreliable.
Angel Yan noticed his gaze but did not turn around. She merely replied in an even tone, "Since you distrust me so much, then I won't take you."
Yun Ming immediately gave in. "Sis, I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you. Please be magnanimous and don't stoop to the level of a nobody like me."
Angel Yan gave a soft snort and said nothing more.
Seeing this, Yun Ming quickly took the chance to change the subject. "I'll go take a shower first. We can talk later."
With that, he hurried away.
Watching Yun Ming's departing back, Angel Mo Yi could not help bursting into laughter. "He's quite good at reading the situation. He knows when to lower his head."
Angel Zhui also chuckled and teased, "Yes, he's much smarter than certain people."
Angel Yan looked toward the house with an indifferent expression and said lightly, "He knows that although Blue Star is vast and boundless, there is no place for him there."
Angel Zhui frowned upon hearing this. "Are we really taking him away from Blue Star? Traveling through the universe isn't easy. His body is still that of a mortal, and space radiation would be fatal to him."
Angel Yan's expression turned solemn. She said seriously, "The Celestial Keel King has ordered us to bring him back."
Angel Mo Yi also frowned. "But his genes simply cannot withstand prolonged space travel. By the time we return to Sky City, his genes will probably have already collapsed."
Angel Yan smiled slightly, revealing a sly grin. "The Celestial Keel King told A Zhui to wrap him in her wings."
Angel Zhui and Angel Mo Yi looked at each other in disbelief.
