CHAPTER 1928: CHAPTER 1929: I AM THE HEAVENS

A fleeting flaw was indeed an opportunity. With Bai Qiu’s assistance, Xu Nanzhi might really have the chance to open a breach directly.

But... it was too much of a gamble.

Given the current situation, Xu Nanzhi dared not stake everything on this single strike. After all, this was merely a hurdle in the way of rescuing Su Chengyu, and they were still quite far from achieving the final goal.

So after listening to Bai Qiu’s words, Xu Nanzhi didn’t act rashly but instead contacted Yu Shuang immediately.

After consulting, and confirming that the opponent might help to create an opportunity for him to break through, Xu Nanzhi finally decided on the plan.

Of course, Xu Nanzhi also explained the stakes to Yu Shuang, informing her that the person in front was as powerful as a Martial God.

"Don’t worry, I’m confident I can hold him off. You just need to ensure my brother returns safely."

Yu Shuang responded without hesitation, despite her injuries not yet healed.

She understood why Xu Nanzhi did this and similarly agreed with the plan. After all, she left the Yu Clan alone solely to find Su Chengyu. Though not purely driven by emotion, her determination to find Su Chengyu was just as strong as Xu Nanzhi’s.

Taking a deep breath, she swallowed the clotted blood in her throat directly back down.

Yu Shuang looked sharply at the opponent in front of her, tightly gripping the Magic Sword in her hand.

"I don’t want to kill you, but I don’t want to die by your hand either."

"Then... scram!"

Agusi, who had been maneuvered by Xu Nanzhi and Yu Shuang, was evidently somewhat angry. The scent of danger from the Heavenly Qi-breaking identity behind him made him understand that if he turned his back in front of this harmless woman, he absolutely wouldn’t end well.

"Sorry, you’re fighting for your clan, and so am I. By the way... this should be the last time."

As the words fell, the howling Heavenly Gang Divine Wind completely enveloped Yu Shuang, her eyes glowing with a blue-green light. For the first time, Yu Shuang fully unleashed the power of the Earth Core Lotus.

Her gaze was resolute, showing eyes of death rather than life.

"Yu Shuang..."

Feeling the unusual fluctuations behind, Xu Nanzhi slightly furrowed his brows.

The intense aura was definitely not something Yu Shuang typically could unleash, making it hard for Xu Nanzhi not to suspect she had resorted to desperate measures.

"Don’t worry, as long as that girl isn’t foolish, she won’t let herself die here."

Bai Qiu’s voice sounded again, refocusing Xu Nanzhi’s mind.

"Why?"

"She hasn’t told anyone her ultimate goal, and she probably understands better than anyone the issues between their family and Su Chengyu’s. Only she can be the mediator. No one else can say anything."

Hearing this, Xu Nanzhi nodded, no longer worrying about other things.

Although he was very concerned about Yu Shuang’s situation, he knew that if he halted here, Yu Shuang’s resolve would be meaningless.

Continually maintaining the Luo Soul Attraction posture, Xu Nanzhi swiftly sped towards the location where Su Chengyu was.

Along the way, some Demonic Path figures tried to stop him, but under his current state, they were no match at all.

"No need for small fries to test me, whoever hides in the dark, come forth!"

Xu Nanzhi shouted, alertly looking around, convinced there must be guards within a hundred meters of Su Chengyu.

Hollow Vacuum, Martial God? Or perhaps Earth Immortal?

All were possible, which is why Xu Nanzhi personally came to this place.

However, Xu Nanzhi’s call received no response, making him increasingly uneasy.

The opponent’s immobility was like a mountain, indicating that Xu Nanzhi might have stepped into a trap.

But now, there’s no turning back for Xu Nanzhi.

"Since you won’t show yourself, I’ll just take away Chengyu!"

With a loud shout, Xu Nanzhi abandoned all concerns and suddenly accelerated, forming a stream with his full mana that broke through a thin barrier ahead, heading straight for Su Chengyu.

Bang!

Water splashed open in front of Xu Nanzhi, as a half-naked long-haired man casually dissolved Xu Nanzhi’s attack and directly pushed him out of the barrier’s range.

"Who are you?"

Though his move was blocked, it didn’t pose much threat; what puzzled Xu Nanzhi was that neither his realm nor eye power could discern the man’s realm.

This was not a good sign, either the man had some special Secret Technique concealing himself, or his realm greatly surpassed Xu Nanzhi’s knowledge.

Earth Immortal, and not a typical Initiate Realm Earth Immortal.

"Who I am is not important, what’s important is that you’re not one of us."

The long-haired man spoke softly, his expression indifferent.

Xu Nanzhi felt as if he was nothing but air in his eyes.

"But he is my lover, locked up there."

Xu Nanzhi spoke forcefully, clearly showing no sign of retreat.

"Lover? Him?"

The long-haired man seemed to understand, glanced at Su Chengyu, and then back at Xu Nanzhi.

"Hmm, I can feel your strong emotions towards him. But unfortunately, this person is very important to me. I can’t give him up to you."

"That’s not for you to decide... Luo Soul Attraction, Heavenly Waterfall!"

This was a special move Xu Nanzhi could unleash only in the Luo Soul Attraction state, using the Power of the Heavenly Dao to summon the Ruishui River from the Nine Heavens, relentlessly surging towards the enemy.

And as Xu Nanzhi walks the Road of Destruction, the Ruishui River summoned was even more destructive than that of other Heavenly Dao powers, making it the strongest killer move Xu Nanzhi had.

Facing this unknown-strength opponent, Xu Nanzhi dared not hide anything, starting with his strongest attack.

However, the descending Ruishui River was split like a direct slash as it approached the long-haired man, flowing down his sides.

Xu Nanzhi’s all-out strike couldn’t even reach the man, let alone pose any threat.

"This... how is it possible?"

Xu Nanzhi couldn’t believe it, having absolute confidence in his strike, believing that even if the opponent was indeed an Earth Immortal, he must use Earth Immortal Techniques to deflect this blow.

But everything before him exceeded his understanding, leaving Xu Nanzhi struggling to comprehend what happened.

The long-haired man’s face remained calm as he looked at Xu Nanzhi, saying, "So, do you still think it’s not up to me?"

The long-haired man’s downward gaze made Xu Nanzhi feel as if a mountain was pressing down on him.

This oppressive sensation was something she had never experienced even while facing Luo Clan Earth Immortal Realm cultivators directly.

Xu Nanzhi desperately suppressed the almost instinctual fear inside, looking at the long-haired man.

"You... just who are you?"

"Me? I am just this sky."
