"Hurry up and go!" Wan Fangling whispered, her feet propelling her forward as she dragged Shi Yong away swiftly.

But all around was an endless desert, with no cover in sight, so where could they escape to?

The answer is... Ten Thousand Blade Mountain!

"You two!!" Gu Zhang was also retreating quickly, but he was furious as he looked at the couple fleeing the battlefield, "Running to Ten Thousand Blade Mountain means death as well!

Get back here and fight the enemy!"

The couple had been in the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm for less than two months.

They had been with the Mountain Breaking Gang for even less time, less than two weeks, and they didn't feel much allegiance.

Compared to the so-called gang, the two clearly cared more about each other.

"Puff!"

A White Jade Stone dropped to the ground, even though Gu Zhang had run dozens of meters away, but this White Jade Stone... was a Quicksand Talisman!

In an instant, the desolate land transformed into a roiling Sand River.

"Stand there." Jiang Ruyi's cold voice was penetrating, "Surrender and you won't be killed."

Wan Fangling's movements stiffened instantly.

The couple had started their escape earlier, and due to Jiang Ruyi's casting position, they happened to be on the banks of the wide Sand River.

Wan Fangling knew well that entering the Ten Thousand Blade Mountain territory was a path of near-certain death.

But what choice did she have?

Entering the mountains might mean death, but not entering... might also mean death!

Should she bet her life on this young woman's words being true?

Wan Fangling was caught in a dilemma, while on the other side, Gu Zhang....

He was caught in the flow direction of the Sand River and had long been engulfed by the swirling quicksand.

The defenses of the Shanwei Sect were indeed exceptional.

The Quicksand Talisman indeed couldn't crush the Mountain Stone Armor.

But this rushing Sand River could bury all living things alive, causing Gu Zhang to suffocate to death!

Isn't this a form of dimensional reduction attack?

I don't even challenge your defense!

I change the battle environment, depriving you of the right to breathe.

"Hoo!!"

Suddenly, a thick wall of mixed stone and earth rose high into the air.

The scene was particularly eerie!

If it were on flat ground, erecting a wall would be nothing noteworthy.

But in the midst of a turbulent Sand River, raising a stone-earth wall?

Shanwei Divine Technique · Mountain Stone Wall!

This technique was clearly defensive, but Gu Zhang was using it to escape.

Since the stone-earth wall was in the river's flow, as it rose, it was being tilted by the quicksand, on the brink of collapse.

Atop the stone-earth wall stood a tightly bound figure—Gu Zhang!

Thin lines of sand reached out from the Sand River like venomous snakes, entwining his body, dragging him down relentlessly.

The intent was to bury Gu Zhang alive!

"Ahhhh!" Gu Zhang, covered in Stone Armor, unleashed all his strength, tearing apart the binding sand lines with raw force.

Just then, another stone-earth wall sprang up.

Another Shanwei believer who had been engulfed also broke through the Sand River in the same manner.

Gu Zhang hurriedly leaped towards the second stone-earth wall, cursing angrily: "Get over here, damn it! They're Jade Talisman Believers, the coldest bunch!

You really think they'll let you go! Damn!"

Jiang Ruyi's icy voice sounded again, with a hint of mockery: "You've lost the dignity of a River Realm Great Power, but I haven't.

I mean what I say."

Wan Fangling and Shi Yong exchanged glances, neither went to help nor continued to flee.

It was clear that the couple had made a decision.

Although it was a gamble, it was also a decision Wan Fangling made cautiously!

The Jade Talisman Sect is indeed cold-hearted, but the young woman obviously hadn't been in this realm for long.

She still held onto the life philosophies from the Human World, in Da Xia!

So... it's worth the gamble!

"Boom boom!"

"Boom boom..." From afar, explosions echoed continually from the battlefield.

Here, Jiang Ruyi was chasing down two enemies.

Meanwhile, two Shanwei believers previously used as cannon fodder by Gu Zhang were being blasted by four Jade Talisman disciples!

The ground here also had sand and mud flowing.

Song Yu seized the opportunity and blasted a Shanwei believer into the sky!

Shanwei believers... are truly tough!

One Bursting Flame Talisman after another hurled forth, unable to crack open the opponent's Mountain Stone Armor.

"Senior Brother!" An Xian hurried over, also casting Bursting Flame Talismans one after another.

"Stop, I surrender!" the man shouted desperately, "Don't, don't keep bombing upwards, please... show mercy, I surrender!!"

Song Yu's eyes were ruthless.

Now you want to surrender?

Too late!

When you tried to blast me just now, where was your mercy?

"Boom boom!" The Bursting Flame Talisman never stopped, and the sound of explosions was continuous.

Song Yu's fingers sketched symbols rapidly, keeping a tight lock on the enemy.

From afar, Wan Fangling witnessed this, her expression changing swiftly.

She suddenly placed both hands beside her mouth, forming an amplifier shape, loudly warning: "Danger! Don't fly high! It's dangerous!!"

Consider this a token of allegiance.

At least Wan Fangling was trying to increase her chances of survival.

The problem was, Song Yu was already very high up, the distance was too great, and the explosion noises were so loud...

"No! Please! I'm begging, I surrender! Don't go..."

Before the man could finish speaking, a surge of energy suddenly pulsated from the swirling Cloud Sea.

"Puff!!"

An almost invisible force crashed down, and the Shanwei believer exploded instantly.

Truly shattered to pieces!

Only specks of blood and fragments rained downward.

"Hmph." Song Yu snorted coldly.

He certainly knew what would happen if you continued flying skyward.

During the previous years of flight, one of his squadmates reduced in number was chased by a flock of Golden-winged Bats, fled upward frantically, trying to dive into the Cloud Sea.

However, before that person could get inside, he was blasted apart!

Along with the pursuing Golden-winged Bats, which were also decimated...

"Ah!" Although An Xian had mentally prepared herself, she still shivered in fright.

She was tens of meters below Song Yu and didn't dare chase too high without his ferocity.

Seeing the enemy was dead, she immediately turned and flew downwards.

The battle group below was not too chaotic.

Zhang Zhenghu and Zhu Yuan were tackling the "problem" together.

Unlike Song Yu and An Xian, Zhang Zhenghu here used Frost Talismans.

While the defensive power of the Mountain Stone Armor was exceptional, the Frost Talisman could infiltrate the stone armor's gaps, penetrate your Water Flow Armor...

And completely freeze your fleshy body!

The Jade Talisman Sect, wielding Four Elements Magic, was indeed strong, always finding a way to counter the enemy.

As for why no one used the Electric Shackles Talisman...

Because the Shanwei Sect is immune to lightning damage!

Their Mountain Stone Armor repels electricity.

Even without armor, as long as their feet touch the ground, they're unaffected by lightning!

The Shanwei Divine Technique · Stone Power draws energy from the earth.

Lightning-proof!

Song Yu didn't join the battle group below but instead flew in Jiang Ruyi's direction.

At this moment, the battle group around Jiang Ruyi had already revealed its outcome.

Initially, Gu Zhang still resisted and attempted to escape.

With each Frost Talisman Jiang Ruyi cast, Gu Zhang's already heavy stone-armored body grew increasingly stiff and sluggish, and the situation deteriorated rapidly!

Jiang Ruyi had completely gathered momentum, leaving Gu Zhang with only the last struggle.

Sometimes, the saying "the sooner you die, the sooner you're reborn" is quite accurate.

But Gu Zhang insisted on struggling.

In choosing between freezing to death and being buried alive, he opted for being buried alive while frozen...

"Heh..."

Gu Zhang, covered in frost, stepped on a protruding stone-earth wall, finally breaking the surface from the Sand River, taking a deep breath.

But as soon as he exhaled halfway, a Frost Talisman struck the stone helmet on his head.

The second half of his breath filled with frost.

"Cough cough, cough! Cough..."

Gu Zhang coughed violently, but a line of fine sand ensnared his ankle and dragged him back into the Sand River.

This time, it wasn't just a mouthful of frost; it was a mouthful of mud!

Jiang Ruyi stood in midair, her cold eyes overlooking the Sand River below.

Like a deity wielding the power of life and death in this domain.

Another Shanwei disciple was also struggling in the Sand Sea, once wanting to coordinate with Gu Zhang, but Jiang Ruyi forcefully tore them apart.

"Hoo~"

Jiang Ruyi lightly lifted her two fingers on her left hand.

A line of fine sand flicked out from the Sand River, throwing the frost-covered Gu Zhang out.

With a flick of her right hand, Jiang Ruyi hurled a Frost Talisman down towards Gu Zhang.

"I surr... render! I cough cough, cough... ugh!"

Gu Zhang no longer had the heart to curse.

He pleaded loudly, but his words were interrupted by coughing, and he was dragged underground once more by the fine sand lines, gagged by mud.

These fine sand lines could act autonomously or move according to Jiang Ruyi's will.

Previously, in the buffer zone of Evil Dog Village, when she accompanied Lu Ran in slaying the River Realm Demon Lord · Evil Dog, she relied on manipulating these fine sand lines to drag Lu Ran underground.

"Madam!" Song Yu arrived rapidly.

Jiang Ruyi's attitude towards enemies greatly pleased Song Yu!

Previously, Jiang Ruyi had spared Meng Zhixuan, which worried Song Yu somewhat.

Now, seeing Jiang Ruyi's combat stance, it seemed he had worried too much.

Come to think of it, Lady Luo Xian's choices must be a means to win people's hearts.

"Hmm." Jiang Ruyi flicked her finger.

From the Sand River, Gu Zhang was once again hurled out by the fine sand lines.

Song Yu, looking at the couple in the distance, asked for instructions: "What about those two people?"

"Keep them, I have questions to ask."

Jiang Ruyi spoke softly, flinging a Frost Talisman from her hand.

"No... I surr... cough cough, cough..." By now, Gu Zhang was frozen stiff, his brain muddled due to suffocation and lack of oxygen.

In such physical condition, how could he sustain the Mountain Stone Armor?

Covered in mud and frost, he was once again brutally hit in the face by a Frost Talisman.

Dense frost spread out, freezing this body of flesh and blood down to the bone.

"Buzz!" From Jiang Ruyi's waist, the Cold Night Sword shot out fiercely, piercing into the expanding frost mist.

There was no sound of the sword piercing flesh, but rather the sound of shattering.

As if an ice sculpture had been pierced and shattered...

Jiang Ruyi pressed her thin lips, silently gazing at the frost-covered region.

In the roiling Sand River, there had long been no stone-earth wall at this location, suggesting the other Shanwei disciple had been buried alive and killed.

This was Jiang Ruyi's first time killing fellow humans.

She was anticipating her inner response, only to find...

No ripples at all.

Was it that she had slain too many evil demons, and had long grown accustomed to killing?

Or was it because this was a counterattack, thus she felt no guilt at all?

Perhaps, after her ascension to the River Realm, she no longer regarded people as people?

Who knows...

She indeed cared about very few people.

Jiang Ruyi remained silent until the Cold Night Sword returned to its sheath, instructing: "Clean up the battlefield."

Song Yu, even more respectful, slightly bowed his head: "Yes."

Jiang Ruyi turned to look into the distance, her gaze fixing on the couple.

"Gulp." Shi Yong swallowed hard.

In the high sky, the woman, as cold as frost, was slowly flying over...
