Outside.
In the starry sky.
The Silver Armored Man didn't notice me.
Venerable Ye Lan felt a surge of delight, and as the distance grew, he felt that he had already escaped danger.
After all, the farther away he was, the less likely he was to be discovered.
But just then.
"Hmm?"
Venerable Ye Lan vaguely sensed that something was wrong. An inexplicable unease welled up from the depths of his heart.
It was as though an extreme danger was already drawing near.
"What's going on?"
Venerable Ye Lan was bewildered. "Why is my heart suddenly pounding? Why do I feel so anxious? Has something else happened?"
Venerable Ye Lan looked around.
Everyone was fleeing.
And they were all far away.
There was not a soul within a radius of at least one million meters.
Except, of course, for the dying Eternal True God behind him.
"I must be overthinking... oh no!"
Venerable Ye Lan shook his head and was about to dismiss the thought when a fierce streak of sword radiance suddenly appeared out of thin air, slashing toward him.
Venerable Ye Lan's expression changed drastically.
"What a fast sword! This... this is Qin Hao!"
He had watched Qin Hao's battle with the Black Demon Dragon closely earlier and was exceedingly familiar with Qin Hao's treasure sword. He recognized at a glance that the sword before him was none other than Qin Hao's Heavenly Abyss Sword.
"Aaaah!!!"
The strike was terrifyingly fast. Venerable Ye Lan had nowhere to dodge. His eyes bulged with fury as he roared, grabbed the dying Eternal True God, and hurled him at the treasure sword.
Slash!
The treasure sword swept through, cleaving the Eternal True God in two.
Then.
Without losing any momentum, it continued toward Venerable Ye Lan.
**"I refuse to accept this!
