Qianbei Ye nodded without turning to look at Zixie. His red eyes stared intently at Cang Ming as he spoke indifferently, "Cang Ming, ten thousand years have passed and the moment of our final battle has arrived. You had masqueraded as me in our past life and killed the person I love the most. In retaliation, I will destroy your soul in this lifetime so you will never be reborn again."
"Haha!"
Cang Ming burst into maniacal laughter and spoke scornfully, "That depends on whether you have the ability!"
After Cang Ming had said his piece, he no longer bothered with idle chit chat and released an attack upon Qianbei Ye! At the same time, Qianbei Ye released the aura from his entire body, holding nothing back.
Crash!
Both sides clashed. The ground and mountains shook and even the surrounding trees were cleanly destroyed. The two of them then rose into the sky as rays of light intertwined and a destructive power crashed down onto the earth. As a result, not a single sign of bird or beast could be seen in the immediate vicinity.
Qianbei Ye and Cang Ming were at the late-stage of the Ninth Transformation State! Cang Ming was only one step away from attaining the Full Circle State so the battle between them caused a violent reaction and plunged the world into darkness!
This earth-shattering battle was visible even from the Cloudy Wind Empire's city gates which were quite a distance away...
The Cloudy Wind Empire.
Grand Lord Hong Lian was gripping Dongfang Yu's hand tightly in the Imperial Palace. His grim eyes filled with determination as he said, "Yu'er, don' worry, our daughter and son-in-law will be alright. They will return safely very soon, we only need to wait for them here."
Dongfang Yu nodded but she could not conceal the worry in her eyes.
So much noise has been generated by this battle so how could she not feel worried? Even though her heart believes in Gu Ruoyun's abilities, she could not shake the feeling of apprehension in her heart.
In the end, her endless worry was condensed into a soft sigh, "I hope that is true."
Yun'er, Xiao Ye, you must return safely no matter what.
At the same time, Gu Shengxiao's lips were pulled into a tight line as his cold and grim features stared at the earth-shattering battle from the rear garden of the Imperial Palace.
His dark eyes were filled with anxiety as he stood quietly with his hands behind his back.
When he had found out that Gu Ruoyun and Qianbei Ye had decided to face the powerful cultivator on their own, he had intended to run after them. Unfortunately, his parents had informed him that Gu Ruoyun had set up a formation to prevent them from joining the battle.
That explains it all...
No wonder she had gathered all of them at the Imperial Palace during these past few days without any further explanation as if she had already made her decision.
That was correct. If they had been anywhere else, they would have disregarded everything to rush over once they found out about her fight against Cang Ming. They would only be prevented from taking action inside this formation.
"Big Brother Gu."
A melodious voice rang out behind Gu Shengxiao.
Gu Shengxiao did not move as his dark eyes continued to stare into the distance as if he could see two figures in battle.
Wen Yue sighed as she approached Gu Shengxiao and draped a cloak over him. She then gently pursed her lips and said, "Don't worry, Lady Gu will be alright. She will return safely."
Her words still could not provoke any reaction from him. It was as if he had not noticed her existence at all...
Wen Yue sighed, feeling helpless. Before she left, she took one last look at the man's cold and grim figure as her eyes filled with heartache.
Please let Gu Ruoyun return safely. Otherwise, Big Brother Gu will be sad for the rest of his life... This is something that I can never bear to see.
