Ye Xuan was, frankly, dumbfounded.
Who were A Zuo and Gu You? True Self Realm powerhouses, the highest realm he’d ever encountered. Yet they’d been sent flying in an instant?
How was he supposed to deal with this?
The three-day rule had struck again!
Ye Xuan was speechless.
After Qing’er left, he couldn’t even stay handsome for three days!
Snapping back to reality, Ye Xuan looked at the woman before him. She wore a tight purple robe, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, with two horns sprouting from her head.
Just as Ye Xuan was about to speak, the purple-robed woman suddenly appeared in front of him. His eyes narrowed, and he vanished from the spot.
Instant Invincibility!
He leapt out of this existing universe!
But at that moment, the woman’s hand eerily clamped around his throat, squeezing hard.
No words wasted!
Boom!
A terrifying force surged through Ye Xuan’s body. Yet, in that moment, he was invincible!
Seeing this, the purple-robed woman frowned slightly.
But Ye Xuan was horrified!
Though invincible, he noticed the Er Ya battle armor he wore had cracked into a spiderweb pattern!
Who was this woman?
No time to think, Ye Xuan thrust his sword forward!
Four afterimages appeared around the woman, and in the next moment, four sword beams slashed toward her, tearing through everything!
The purple-robed woman flicked her sleeve.
Boom!
The sword beams shattered, and the four afterimages were blasted back tens of thousands of feet!
Ye Xuan’s pupils contracted, his heart reeling.
After repelling the afterimages, the woman vanished, and four purple afterimages streaked through the field!
In the distance, Ye Xuan’s four afterimages turned into sword beams and vanished!
Head-on clash!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The four sword beams exploded, and the four sword-wielding afterimages vanished!
Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
Who was this woman?
The purple-robed woman turned to Ye Xuan, her right hand suddenly clenching.
Boom!
Ye Xuan was forcibly yanked from that unknown spacetime!
As he emerged, the woman appeared before him. Ye Xuan slashed down with all his might, pouring in all his sword intent, activating his bloodline, and channeling the power of “Human Spirit.”
This strike changed the heavens and earth!
Yet, half an inch from her brow, the Qingxuan Sword stopped—caught between two fingers.
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, his body trembling as he retreated. But a fist slammed into his chest.
Boom!
His body bent like a fully drawn bow, and the battle armor he wore shuddered, then shattered into countless fragments.
Boom!
In an instant, Ye Xuan was blasted tens of thousands of feet away.
Stopping, he looked up, ready to act, but the purple-robed woman was already before him.
His face sank.
Dimensional suppression!
This woman was beyond his current ability to resist.
She was the first he’d met who could ignore his Instant Invincibility and destroy Er Ya’s battle armor!
Another big shot had appeared!
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Damn it!
Why didn’t she come when Qing’er was around?
Now he was in deep trouble!
If he couldn’t fight, he’d reason instead!
Just as Ye Xuan opened his mouth to speak, the woman flicked her sleeve, and they both vanished.
…
Inside the Guanxuan Academy, Shu Xian stared at the horizon, utterly stunned.
The Dean was just taken away like that?
A Zuo and Gu You appeared beside him. A Zuo said gravely, “She’s from the Boundless Universe!”
Boundless Universe!
Shu Xian blurted, “Quick, inform Qingqiu!”
Soon, a talisman shot into the sky from the academy.
Shu Xian gazed at the horizon, eyes full of worry.
A Zuo and Gu You’s expressions were equally grim. The purple-robed woman’s strength was terrifying. Both were True Self Realm powerhouses, yet they had no chance to fight back!
A Zuo murmured, “Must be some super big shot!”
Gu You hesitated, then said, “The Patriarch…”
A Zuo paused, then said, “The Patriarch’s thick-skinned enough. He should be able to turn danger into safety!”
Gu You turned to A Zuo, “Are you serious?”
A Zuo: “…”
In a corner of the academy, Gu Ran looked at the sky, fists clenched, eyes burning with anger and frustration.
Ye Xuan had just returned, and she’d come! She’d planned to meet him after his business was done, but before that could happen, he was taken away!
And she was powerless, only able to watch!
This helplessness stabbed deep.
After a moment, Gu Ran took a deep breath, a flash of resolve in her eyes, and turned to leave.
…
News of Ye Xuan’s abduction soon reached the Yang Clan.
In a star domain, the purple-robed woman tore through spacetime with Ye Xuan, soon arriving at the entrance to the Boundless Universe.
As she was about to enter with him, a sword beam slashed from the side.
The woman frowned, turning and flicking her sleeve.
Boom!
The sword beam was blocked!
She looked over. A woman with a longsword on her back approached slowly.
It was Situ Tingyun!
When Ye Xuan was in trouble, the Yang Clan learned of it, and Ding Shaoyao sent Situ Tingyun.
Seeing Situ Tingyun, a cold glint flashed in the woman’s eyes. She flicked her sleeve, sending Ye Xuan aside, but he couldn’t move, enveloped by a terrifying force.
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. He couldn’t budge, and even his bloodline power was completely suppressed!
Who was this woman?
Ye Xuan closed his eyes slowly.
This time, he’d met a tough one!
In the distance, Situ Tingyun looked at the purple-robed woman and chuckled, “Boundless Universe!”
The woman’s expression remained calm, her right hand slowly clenching.
Suddenly, Situ Tingyun pointed with two fingers. A sword shot from her scabbard into the sky.
Slash!
A sword beam carved a perfect arc across the sky, slashing at the woman!
The woman punched out!
Boom!
The sword was blocked!
She punched again.
Boom!
The surrounding spacetime shattered, and a fist imprint roared toward Situ Tingyun, who drew her sword and slashed.
Boom!
The moment the sword fell, the surrounding spacetime turned to nothingness.
But the light gate remained!
Situ Tingyun stared at the woman, a rare trace of gravity in her eyes—her sword had shattered!
The woman glanced coldly at Situ Tingyun, her body suddenly becoming illusory!
Situ Tingyun’s pupils shrank. Her hands formed a sword seal, and she shouted, “Rise!”
Buzz!
A sword hum shook the heavens. Phantom longswords appeared, and countless sword beams crisscrossed, tearing through!
Rip, rip, rip…
Tearing sounds echoed as the void spacetime was erased bit by bit!
But the sword beams began to fade, and a figure drew closer to Situ Tingyun—the purple-robed woman!
Seeing her, a sword glint flashed in Situ Tingyun’s eyes. The woman stomped her right foot.
Boom!
The countless sword beams vanished! The woman appeared before Situ Tingyun, punching with lightning speed.
Situ Tingyun blocked with her sword.
Boom!
The sword shattered, and Situ Tingyun was blasted back tens of thousands of feet. As she retreated, dozens of sword beams slashed at the woman from odd angles.
The woman flicked her sleeve, shattering the beams! She stomped again.
Boom!
The space around Situ Tingyun cracked. She swung her sword, enveloping herself in sword beams, but they vanished instantly.
Boom!
Situ Tingyun was thrown back another ten thousand feet!
The woman flipped her right hand and pressed down.
Boom!
The spacetime above Situ Tingyun collapsed, a terrifying force crashing down.
Situ Tingyun’s eyes narrowed. She opened her palm, and a sword shot from it into the sky.
Boom!
The sword blocked the force. Meanwhile, Situ Tingyun turned into a sword beam and vanished.
Slash!
A sword beam pierced toward the woman, who blocked with her arm.
Boom!
The sword beams shattered. Her right arm blocked Situ Tingyun’s sword. Situ Tingyun slapped the sword hilt with her left hand.
A sword beam surged from the tip!
But the woman didn’t budge. The beams vanished before touching her!
Situ Tingyun’s pupils shrank, “Ten Thousand Tribulations Realm!”
The woman’s right arm shook.
Boom!
Situ Tingyun was blasted back tens of thousands of feet!
Stopping, her face turned grim, “Tempered through countless tribulations… I never thought someone could reach such a level.”
The woman glanced at Situ Tingyun and said softly, “Your swordsmanship is decent.”
She turned to Ye Xuan and vanished with him.
Situ Tingyun chased without hesitation, but as she neared the light gate, a terrifying force erupted, repelling her, and the gate closed.
Situ Tingyun frowned. Why did that woman take Ye Xuan?
She was about to charge in when a voice rang out, “That was just a wisp of her avatar, not even a tenth of her true strength!”
Situ Tingyun’s pupils shrank.
