Jiang Baishan sneered mercilessly:

"Old dog, doesn't it feel bad to lose an arm?"

Elder Ye was furious:

"Good! Soon I'll let you see what real cruelty is!"

"Old thing, come if you have the guts!" Lin Ruhua raised the Jade Pendant in her hand, holding it in her palm with only a corner exposed, causing Elder Ye's pupils to shrink involuntarily.

The two fled swiftly, rushing through the depths of Yan Mountain. Despite the mighty Power of Heaven and Earth, it was too far away to reach them, allowing Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua to narrowly escape amid their predicament. Piece after piece of forest was destroyed by Elder Ye in his rage, trying to probe them, gradually lowering his altitude as the pressure on the two increased.

Suddenly.

Lin Ruhua paused her step, raised the Jade Pendant:

"Old dog, behold the Sword Qi!"

Elder Ye's heart was startled, immediately flying up to gain altitude, the shadow of his severed arm still fresh in his mind.

But little did he know.

No Sword Intent exploded at all. Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua seized this opportunity, diving back into the forest, leaving mocking laughter:

"What a timid old dog!"

Elder Ye was furious, veins bulging on his forehead, wishing to tear the two into pieces for being toyed with like this.

A moment later.

He tried to approach once again.

Lin Ruhua repeated her tactic.

Elder Ye, frightened, pulled away once more, keeping distance. Though he knew Lin Ruhua might be bluffing, he dared not gamble, for fear of losing another arm, which would be disastrous.

In the forest, Lin Ruhua's laughter was crisp and clear, piercing to Elder Ye's ears, his face dark as if about to drip water.

Being toyed with continuously by two juniors was a great humiliation.

During the chase.

They went deeper into Yan Mountain, where it's rumored the Beast King resides. Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua intended to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf, to escape with their lives.

Elder Ye clearly noticed this too.

He waved his hand, driving the Power of Heaven and Earth to exert stronger pressure. Frustrated by Lin Ruhua's tricks, his form lowered further; each time he pulled away frightened, the alighting distance shortened. The two kept spitting blood, as the shockwave of the Power of Heaven and Earth at this range was enough to harm them.

Jiang Baishan swung his sword, being swept away by the shockwave of the Power of Heaven and Earth.

Lin Ruhua raised the Jade Pendant again:

"Old dog, watch the sword!"

But this time, Elder Ye sneered and descended instead of ascending, aiming to strike psychologically, catching the two off guard. The Power of Heaven and Earth swept over, unleashing the full might of a Celestial Human Realm expert, throwing Lin Ruhua into the air.

"You really were deceiving me!" Elder Ye laughed madly, reaching to grab Lin Ruhua.

But almost instantly, the laughter stopped abruptly.

Lin Ruhua released her hand, and the Jade Pendant fell. It was clearly a fragment of the Jade Pendant, the one Jiang Baishan had before.

Elder Ye's hair stood on end.

A surge of Unparalleled Sword Intent exploded instantly behind him, terrible Sword Qi striking, forcing him to scream involuntarily.

Jiang Baishan's slightly manic laughter echoed:

"Old dog, the real sword is with me!"

The two had acted crazily all along, finally convincing Elder Ye that the Jade Pendant was in Lin Ruhua's hand. Yet he never realized they had exchanged them from the start, and now it was finally effective.

Jiang Baishan supported the battered Lin Ruhua, the two rising to see the Sword Qi's might.

Sword Qi swept towards Elder Ye, cutting through his manipulations of the Power of Heaven and Earth instead of being obstructed, slashing through barriers with its sharpness.

A scream of agony.

Half of Elder Ye's body was cut away, his aura diminished to the utmost, plummeting from the void.

Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua were overjoyed.

This triumph was even greater than they had imagined.

They did not consider finishing off Elder Ye, for even weakened, he was still of the Celestial Human Realm. If he had some trump card and counterattacked, they'd be in trouble. Their only thought now was: escape quickly!

As soon as they stepped forward, Elder Ye's sorrowful voice reverberated through the sky:

"Aren't you going to act? If you let them escape, would you bear the responsibility?"

Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua froze, shock seizing their hearts, as they turned their gaze towards the forest ahead.

Rhythmic sounds of footsteps breaking branches could be heard.

Then.

A cold-faced, white-haired youth emerged, stepping into their view.
