What exactly is behind me?!
Qin Fengyang pushed his speed to its limits!
However, he could not shake off the figure behind him no matter what!
He was terrified.
One must know that the speed at which he was traveling right now was something that perhaps even the elders at the Liberation stage in his sect could not rival!
He himself was at the peak of the Qi Bending stage. Also, he had complete mastery over a peak Spirit level Move Technique!
There was only one Move Technique in the Sol Sword Sect, the Sol Footwork. Absolutely no one would dare to claim that they were above him in terms of the mastery of that technique!
Even the Sect Lord of the Sol Sword Sect, who had unleashed his full power, was not able to surpass him in terms of speed!
He was a prodigy among prodigies in Move Techniques!
"Looks like I have to use that…"
Qin Fengyang's eyes flickered. All of a sudden, the blazing will underneath his feet became fiery, and every step he took seemed to stir up flames!
He regarded this technique as his own ultimate triumph card. He had never used it on outsiders. This was an ability that he had figured out himself!
His figure instantly turned into an afterimage and he seemed to vanish in place!
After quite some time…
"I didn't expect the Empyrean Sword Sect to have such a terrifying figure on top of their Sect Lord…"
Feeling like he had shaken off the figure behind him, Fengyang sighed in relief. However, his expression remained solemn.
It was true that a starving camel was still bigger than a horse.
The Empyrean Sword Sect was, after all, the top sword sect that had ruled over the Empyrean Sword Domain at some point in history. Even across the entire realm, the sect could still be placed at the very stop!
Now, although this was only their side sect, horrifying stars still existed among them!
Fortunately, he was very quick at running!
If he had not used his ultimate ability, which he had kept concealed for a decade, he would have probably died here today!
However, a gust of cold wind blew over him.
Whoosh——
He was immediately stunned right where he had been standing. His entire body was enveloped in a terrifying aura. It felt as if a massive hand was grabbing his neck!
Qin Fengyang's eyes widened. How was this possible?!
There was a cloud of mist not far away, blurry and magical. A figure wearing a spotless white shirt descended into this part of the world like a deity from the heavens. He took one step at a time as his body vanished and multiplied, sometimes appearing in front of Qin Fengyang and sometimes off to his side. It was extremely eerie!
Profound!
An extremely profound Move Technique!
How was that possible?!
Qin Fengyang felt his understanding of the world shattering apart. He was shocked by the incredible speed of this extraordinary Move Technique. What kind of terrifying Move Technique was this?!
Was it a Truth Return level technique?
How could something that valuable…?
He turned around, wanting to flee as he unleashed all that he had cultivated to the maximum. But all of a sudden, an aura overwhelmed him like an ever-flowing river!
Like a celestial cage, it trapped him within it!
His eyes were brimming with horror.
Looking at the figure, it felt as if this being was the last entity that remained in this world. Transcendent white clothes, three swords behind his back, vanishing and flickering in his maneuvers.
"I… I…"
There was actually such a terrifying figure within the Empyrean Sword Sect…?
It seemed as if he wanted to say something.
However, that figure did not seem like he wanted to give Fengyang a chance to speak at all.
Clap!
In a fraction of a second!
The white figure in front of Qin Fengyang exploded abruptly. Like a bubble, all the light disappeared as if it had evaporated from the world!
However, a streak of Swordlight that was blazing like thunder struck down!
Colossal energy was stirred up in the surrounding area, and before the sword arrived, the force of it almost crushed Qin Fengyang!
Ka-boom!
Spllurgh!
The sword penetrated his skull.
With a heart full of terror, the consciousness of the Move Technique prodigy of an era slowly slipped away...
That's…
Move Technique, the extremity of Vanishing!
The ethereal figure, the soft, dreamy footsteps, the light that burst like bubbles in the blink of an eye... That was his ultimate dream!
Qin Fengyang died.
Shen Changge slowly emerged.
"Sol Sword Sect. Interesting. Once a tiny sword sect that was a nobody. Never thought that they'd grow so well in the dark mist…"
Shen Changge's eyes glistened, revealing a smile.
Subsequently, he pulled a piece of warm and humid jade from Qin Fengyang's arms.
"A communication tool, huh…? Did the Empyrean Sword Sect not have these? Did that old geezer keep them for himself?"
His face did not look too good. The very next moment, he slipped back into the darkness.
…
"Let's go around the edge and sneak in. Let's try our best to not get discovered, but if we are, kill everyone who sees us. From what I'm seeing along the way, this side sect of the Empyrean Sword Sect seems really weak. There aren't even any elders in the inner sections of the place… We will find out everything about this sect, and then we'll return and report the situation. This will earn us great merit."
The youngsters could not contain the smiles on their faces.
"Any news from Fengyang yet? Could something have happened to him?" a disciple asked with a hint of worry.
However, the young man in the lead could not help but laugh while saying, "Relax. Even if something happens to every one of us, nothing will happen to that fella. His speed is impeccable, just so you know."
"But even if Fengyang's speed is the top among disciples of the Sol Sword Sect, in the face of a true ace…"
"How can you be so sure that the speed Qin Fengyang has shown us is all he can do? My father is the Sect Lord. My words bear the most authority," a taciturn young man said coolly.
"My father once said that Qin Fengyang is a freak when it comes to Move Techniques; the best he has ever seen. It is a waste of talent that he's here in the Sol Sword Sect. Unfortunately, the dark mist fell, and Fengyang lost the chance to go to be in a stronger sect."
The youngsters' faces revealed their shock.
"When Qin Fengyang unleashes his full power, even my master will have a hard time catching up with him."
The shock on their faces intensified.
That young man's name was Lin Yuelun, the biological son of the Sol Sword Sect's Sect Lord. Since he was the one who uttered those words, they were extremely convincing.
It was indeed true that in this Age of the Dark Mist, everyone would have trump cards hidden up their sleeves. What Qin Fengyang displayed was already terrifying enough, and all Move Technique practitioners like him were afraid of death. Nobody would know what they were hiding underneath the soles of their swift feet.
Since that was the case, all of them felt relieved.
The Sect Lord of the Sol Sword Sect was at the Divine Bridge stage.
That would mean that Qin Fengyang had mastered speeds at the level of the Divine Bridge stage. In that case, as long as he did not bump into someone that was even higher than that in Cultivation Base, he would be able to escape!
Their hearts relaxed.
Slowly, they began the infiltration.
Swiftly, they stepped into a jungle. It seemed that if they proceeded to move deeper from there, they would be able to truly walk into the central area of the Empyrean Sword Sect's side sect!
Their hearts were full of excitement. The Empyrean Sword Manual, the annexation of other sects – these were all core methods to increase a faction's strength in the dark mist!
They would also gain great benefits, and their status in the sect would rise like a ship with the tide!
However, all of a sudden, their faces twitched.
"There's someone lying over there…"
"Hmm?"
One of the youngsters immediately went over to take a look.
"Who died there?" A bad feeling rose in the hearts of the young men.
When the young man who went over saw the corpse, his face was instantly drained of blood and became pale. His eyes were full of fear. He turned his head. His expression was as ugly as if he was crying.
"It's Qin Fengyang," he said.
In an instant, everyone's scalp went numb!
