High above, thick white clouds drifted across the sky like snow-capped peaks, and the sunlight made this vast space above the clouds look particularly magnificent and beautiful.
Meanwhile, the flying beast Blood Flame Bird that Xiao Yan and the others were riding was slowly flying forward. It wasn't until they heard the violent energy explosion ahead that their speed gradually slowed down. Originally, Xiao Yan planned to simply bypass this place; rather than meet it and let it pass, it would be better to simply not see it at all.
However, Luo Jin stopped him. Although he didn't say why, he ordered the Blood Flame Bird to fly straight towards the war zone ahead. This unusual action surprised Xiao Yan.
Normally, Luo Jin is even more cautious than him, so why is he so impulsive and aggressive today? Knowing that a major battle is about to take place, he still chooses not to dodge or avoid it, which is quite strange.
After a short while, the view in front of Xiao Yan and his group finally became open.
Not a single cloud could be seen in the boundless sky; the thick clouds had long since dispersed and disappeared under the impact of the energy. At this moment, in the sight of Xiao Yan and the others, four figures were rapidly flying across the sky. Their occasional collisions caused the heavens and earth to tremble, and astonishing waves of energy swept across the sky. When the huge waves reached Xiao Yan and the others, they were easily broken by the Blood Flame Bird with a low roar.
Of the four, three figures were dressed in gray robes, while the remaining one was clearly a woman in a blue dress. To Xiao Yan's surprise, this woman was the same one he had seen in the canyon a few days ago.
"It was her."
He uttered a slightly surprised sound, and then Xiao Yan gaze involuntarily fell on Luo Jin, a sense of suspicion creeping into his heart.
"Hmph, brat, I advise you to stop struggling in vain. If you want to leave peacefully, leave your Storage Ring and this flying beast behind, or don't blame us for being ruthless!"
In the sky, three middle-aged men dressed in gray robes flashed by, their internal Origin Qi flowing rapidly as they unleashed ruthless Dou Technique, slamming them down on the woman in the blue dress in front of them.
"Hmph! How despicable! If the three of you hadn't joined forces, you wouldn't have been a match for me!"
Her internal Origin Qi was still rapidly depleting. Seeing the powerful Dou Technique approaching, she wielded her longsword, which seemed as clear and translucent as ice, with lightning speed. As her Origin Qi surged, she barely managed to deflect the attacks of the three. At the same time, her graceful body was rapidly retreating. With a flick of her wrist, powerful Origin Qi were once again frantically injected into the longsword. The blade trembled, and countless sharp sword energies shot out. As the three men's expressions changed, their internal Origin Qi surged, barely managing to block these sword energies. Then, the three men charged towards the woman with even greater speed.
"Haha, you brat, I have to admit, your fighting strength is indeed far superior to the three of us. If it were a one-on-one fight, none of the three of us brothers could beat you. It's just a pity that you're facing the three of us, so you'd better just accept your fate!"
Having blocked the woman's sword energy, the three men simultaneously revealed sinister smiles, exchanged glances, and their ruthlessness was even more evident in their eyes. The moment their mocking laughter rang out, even more powerful Origin Qi surged out from their bodies.
Faced with the three men's fierce attack, the already grave expression on the beautiful woman's face became even more unsightly. The long battle had left her forehead covered in sweat, and most of her internal Origin Qi had been depleted. At this point, she felt powerless. If this continued for any longer, she feared she would have no chance to escape.
"Bang!"
Just as the woman was retreating rapidly, one of the three middle-aged men suddenly appeared from the side and threw a punch. It looked like it was about to land on the woman's soft body, but at the critical moment, the woman blocked it with a backhand. While knocking the man back, the woman couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, and a trace of blood immediately slid down the corner of her lips.
Damn it!
The woman cursed under her breath. When she looked up, she found that the other two men were already in front of her, each swinging their fists and charging at her from above. At such close range, she had no chance to dodge, but if she tried to block them, she feared she would be seriously injured immediately.
Startled, the woman disregarded everything else and hastily mobilized all the Origin Qi within her body, releasing it without reservation in an attempt to withstand the two men's attacks.
"I say, you three are all grown men, each a powerful expert at the Origin Transformation Realm. Outsiders would always address you with respect, yet you would actually gang up on a woman. Have you thrown away all your dignity as powerful individuals?"
However, just as the two men's attack reached the woman, a disdainful sneer suddenly rang in their ears. Almost simultaneously, a figure appeared like a ghost between the two gray-robed men and the woman, flipping its two palms to meet each of them.
"Bang!"
The instant the four palms collided, a powerful force erupted from the man's body like a volcanic eruption, blasting the two gray-robed men in front of him away.
The man's attack sent two people flying, but he remained motionless. After a few breaths, he slowly withdrew his hand, turned to look at the woman behind him, and a graceful smile appeared on his handsome face. He said:
"Miss, we meet again."
The speaker was none other than Luo Jin. Before Xiao Yan rushed out. Seeing that the woman was in danger, he became even more ruthless, which is how he managed to drive back the two opponents whose cultivation levels were similar to his own. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Luo Jin probably wouldn't have been able to repel the two so easily.
"It's you who said that..."
Just as the woman looked up, another figure streaked across the sky, knocking away the two who were about to charge again. As for the other person, upon seeing the black-robed youth and Luo Jin, he was filled with fear and dared not say a word. He immediately chased after the two who had been knocked away.
"Hehe, the world is so vast, I never imagined I'd meet you three times, Miss. We really are destined to meet."
