Clang!
Gu Xiu's warblade struck the sword qi with a clear ring. His expression changed at once, and he grunted, his body staggering.
"How could he be this strong?"
Gu Xiu was bewildered.
He had gone all out, yet he could not withstand a single strand of sword qi?
"Damn it, this bastard probably has the combat strength of an eternal true god! Gu Xiu, we're leaving!"
Yun Chang reacted swiftly. Although he could not block the third strand of sword qi, that did not mean he could not dodge it. Cursing furiously, he reached out with his right claw, seized Gu Xiu, and soared into the air.
Yun Chang naturally knew Pei Jinye was formidable. They had not come to fight him to the death, but to take Ancestor Yanyu and the other two away.
Rip!
Almost the instant Yun Chang grabbed Gu Xiu and took flight, the sword qi swept along Yun Chang's claw and skimmed past Gu Xiu, tearing even the air apart.
However...
The sword qi curved around and continued toward Yun Chang and Gu Xiu.
Ahead of them, Pei Jinye's indifferent gaze settled on Yun Chang.
Of the three before him...
Gu Xiu and Gu Fengchen were beneath his notice.
Only Yun Chang stood out.
He had actually blocked two strands of his sword qi alone.
Now, he had even seized an opportunity to grab Gu Xiu and evade another.
Pei Jinye looked thoughtful.
"It seems you're the closest to Qin Hao," Pei Jinye said indifferently.
Among these friends of Qin Hao's, Yun Chang was undoubtedly the strongest.
They were all newly admitted disciples, yet he possessed such strength. His relationship with Qin Hao must have been extremely close.
"In that case..."
Pei Jinye slowly stood, his gaze indifferent. He slowly raised his right hand.
