"Master, please wait a moment. After I clean up a few small fish, I’ll follow you up the mountain."

Nalan Kang was also incredibly surprised. He knew well the strength of his master, who governed the entire Star Shine Realm, or rather, the entire Star Shine Realm was created by him.

Such a figure, nearly standing atop Heaven and Earth, had also come here today. Who was the ’saint’ he mentioned?

"No hurry."

Upon hearing Nalan Kang’s words, Daoist Xingyao nodded. Of course, he understood the implication, clearly knowing that before he arrived here, Nalan Kang had already encountered conflict with others.

As a realm’s Daoist Master, he naturally would not intervene in such matters. Moreover, he had great confidence in his disciple Nalan Kang.

Looking over the current Divine Domain, among the younger generation, there were almost no others whose strength could be mentioned in the same breath as Nalan Kang.

"This is troublesome..."

Both Li Mu and Liu Qingxin furrowed their brows to the extreme. If Nalan Kang took action, they could fight to the death and perhaps have some chance of victory, but now, the appearance of Daoist Xingyao had extinguished the last shred of hope in their hearts.

Even if they truly had the ability to resist Nalan Kang, or even kill him, now with Daoist Xingyao present, such possibilities have turned into absolute impossibilities!

Who could possibly slay someone’s disciple right under the nose of a Daoist Master level powerhouse?

"Now you should understand just how weak you are before me, shouldn’t you?"

Nalan Kang sneered, his gaze fixed on Mo Wangchen, a sense of disdain evident in his eyes.

Mo Wangchen frowned, indeed finding this to be a massive trouble. The descent of a Daoist Master level powerhouse had completely disrupted all his plans and ideas.

"Buzz..."

And just as everyone fell into silence, Nalan Kang, standing with his hands behind his back, suddenly became solemn. He raised his hand and pressed down mightily.

A terrifying Void Giant Hand instantly manifested, blocking out the sun, carrying a nearly invincible Vast Reverse Force, seemingly capable of unraveling everything, pressing down towards Mo Wangchen and all Holy City’s people including Li Mu.

This was a full-strength strike of his Reverse Life Realm sixth-level cultivation, and Nalan Kang harbored no intention of holding back. He wanted not only to destroy Mo Wangchen but also to obliterate Li Mu, Liu Qingxin, Xu Qingqiu, and even all near three hundred people accompanying from Holy City with a single blow!

"Retreat!"

Almost without thinking, Mo Wangchen gave the order to retreat immediately.

This palm’s horror far exceeded the range he, Li Mu, Liu Qingxin, and others could handle.

This was a lethal strike from a Reverse Life Realm sixth-level powerhouse. Clearly, Nalan Kang wanted to avoid wasting time, aiming for a swift resolution to eliminate Mo Wangchen and Li Mu and the others in an instant.

"Can you escape?"

Nalan Kang sneered, his formidable hand stretched in mid-air, fingers spread open. Suddenly, the looming Void Giant Palm seemed more terrifying than before, its pressing speed far faster, seemingly about to fully descend.

"Zing..."

Just as Li Mu and the others showed extremely solemn expressions, ready to fight to the end, suddenly, a piercing sound of windbreaking resounded, and an intangible Sword Light appeared, not dazzling, seemingly casually unleashed by someone.

"Boom!"

But that simple sword, in the blink of an eye, cleaved Nalan Kang’s descending Void Giant Hand in two, shattering it instantly, dissolving into countless daunting energy ripples dissipating into the surrounding void.

"Huh?"

This unforeseen scene took everyone by surprise, and Nalan Kang reacted immediately, "Who?!"

He looked around, seeming to want to identify the person who acted from the shadows.

However, the other party seemed nonexistent, with no trace despite his search.

"This is..."

Mo Wangchen wore a somewhat astonished expression, his eyes revealing uncertainty. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Because, within that sword just now, he felt a familiar aura!

"Hmph!"

The scene remained incredibly quiet, with no one coming forth to speak. After a brief pause, Nalan Kang snorted coldly, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

Since the other party did not wish to emerge, he would force them to appear!

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

The just-settled void suddenly condensed with a terrifying aura again, the Void Giant Hand formed by Vast Reverse Force appeared once more, seemingly even more dreadful than the previous palm, pressing down towards Mo Wangchen and others in the blink of an eye.

"Zing!"

An astounding sword swept forth. This time, everyone clearly saw the direction from which it was issued. It emerged from the Snow Mountain.

"Boom!"

No exception, the Sword Light obliterated the Void Giant Hand once again, instantly cleaving the hand into nothingness.

"No mistake about it!" Mo Wangchen showed excitement. If the first sword was merely an illusion, then with this second sword, he was unquestionably certain that the familiar sensation stemmed from a past personal experience.

"Tap tap tap..."

Amidst the quiet Man City, suddenly, slight footsteps echoed, all instinctively directing their gaze towards the sound’s origin.

Only to see a white-clad figure walking down from above the Snow Mountain at this moment.

This was a white-clad young man. He appeared quite young, even giving the impression of being younger than Nalan Kang.

The white-clad youth had a wooden sword hanging from his waist, making it hard to imagine that the Sword Light obliterating Nalan Kang’s attacks twice earlier emanated from such an extraordinarily ordinary wooden sword.

"Who are you?"

Nalan Kang squinted, his eyes full of enmity, observing the white-clad youth steadily approaching across the sky.

"I can forgive one intervention, excuse it as ignorance, but after my prohibition, you act a second time..."

The white-clad youth did not respond to Nalan Kang’s question. He finally descended the Snow Mountain, coming to the mid-air foot of the mountain, his gaze lightly sweeping towards Nalan Kang.

"Buzz..."

His voice fell. The white-clad youth slowly unsheathed the wooden sword at his waist, then in view of everyone’s eyes, gently pointed it outward.

Yet, such a casual sword unleashed an aura so fearsome that everyone present couldn’t help but synchronize their breaths.

Fierce and astonishing Sword Light howled in all direction, charging at Nalan Kang. The dreadfulness of this sword had long surpassed what Nalan Kang could withstand, causing his expression to change dramatically in an instant.

"Huh?"

Meanwhile, Daoist Xingyao, standing in the nearby void, could no longer stay passive. Such an astounding sword, his disciple couldn’t possibly withstand it.

"Stop!"

He chastised, immediately casting a palm outwards. Heaven and Earth at this moment shifted colors, an intangible Void Giant Hand manifested, reaching for the Sword Light emitted by the white-clad youth, seemingly to crush it.

"Boom boom boom..."

Yet, to everyone’s surprise, despite Daoist Xingyao’s personal intervention, he couldn’t entirely halt the edge of the sword.

The Void Giant Hand was directly pierced through, exploding in an instant, dissolving in every direction.

"Zing!"

Sword Light flashed brilliantly, finally closing in on Nalan Kang.

"Bang!"

Nalan Kang was struck, sent flying back, spewing blood. Luckily, Daoist Xingyao’s earlier intervention mitigated much of the sword’s power, otherwise, Nalan Kang now would not merely be vomiting blood.
