Weapon Master

On more than one occasion, Yun Xiu had almost been hit by the white mist coming out of nowhere.

Even now, he was still a little scared. At this moment, he was indeed a bit regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have shown his face.

Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.

”Ahhhhhhhhh!”

Terrified screams suddenly burst out from the passageway, but after a split-second, it stopped abruptly.

The Cloud Cultivator’s heart trembled. He immediately understood that there must be another Sky Sovereign that had entered the Cloud Mist Passage. Judging from the voice, the Sky Sovereign must have met with some kind of disaster. Yun Xiu forcefully restrained the urge to turn his head to look. A strong warning aura surged from the depths of his soul.

Without any hesitation, he backed up.

However, that moment of absent-mindedness had slowed his reaction by quite a bit. Almost at the same time his right foot stepped back down, a ball of misty white Qi rose up from where his left foot had stepped. In less than half a blink of an eye, his entire foot had been covered.

Yun Xiu’s expression suddenly changed. The moment the aura spread along his calves, his finger had already cut towards his knee like a sword.

”En!”

With a muffled groan, Yun Xiu’s left leg broke into two pieces at the same instant, and his right leg bounced back once again. The misty white aura seeped through his severed leg and shot up to the sky like lightning. It then dissipated and instantly dissipated into nothingness. The severed leg had also completely vanished.

Yun Xiu stabilized his body. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

At this moment, the tension in his heart had reached its peak. If he had not decisively cut off half of his leg, his entire body would have been covered by the white-colored odor.

If that was the case, how could he survive?

Now, although he had temporarily escaped danger, the following journey would be even more difficult.

To an Empyrean like him, losing half of one of his legs wasn’t a big deal. Not even a drop of blood came out of his knee, and after a few days, the other half of his leg would regrow. But, what happened just now would affect his future movements.

Moreover, this place was still so far from the mountain peak.

Now that he had lost half of his leg, if he was unable to dodge in time, would he have to give up on the other half? If he lost both of his legs, could it be that he would have to climb up to become an Empyrean?

If he were to crawl, it would be even more difficult to dodge in the face of danger.

Yun Xiu took a deep breath, his expression dark.

At the starting point of the Cloud Mist Passage behind him, the Empyreans were all frightened. They, who were originally brimming with confidence, were now completely terrified.

Just now, another Sky Sovereign had been completely melted away in front of their eyes.

Also, the one who died wasn’t a lower Empyrean, but a middle Empyrean. Although he had sensed the danger beneath his feet, his dodging speed had slowed down a bit.

In the end, he lost his life.

The cloud elementalist seemed to have successfully avoided many dangers, but to pass through this cloud tunnel was definitely not as simple as he appeared. Moreover, Yun Xiu had almost failed to dodge it just now.

However, they were already in a dilemma.

He might not be able to avoid it twice, but as long as he was not able to dodge in time or failed to do so, it was possible for him to lose his body, or even his life, like Yun Xiu.

However, if he were to stay in place or retreat …

Everyone’s minds were racing. Up till now, the person who had walked the furthest on the Cloud Mist Passage, other than Tang Huan, was Yun Xiu. The former had never stepped back, and the latter only retreated a step or two to avoid danger, before continuing onward. If one were to step back, no one knew how far they could do so.

Back to the safety of the platform.

If they could return to the high platform, then everyone would be happy. However, if they couldn’t, then it would be dangerous.

Thinking of this, everyone’s heart became heavy.

After a while, a skinny old man gritted his teeth and tried to retreat step by step. Soon, he was close to the stage. When the Empyreans, who had been paying attention to his movements, saw this, they all felt joy in their hearts and quickly retreated as well. In just a moment, they were less than a meter away from the stage.

”Hu!”

The old man was the first to attempt it. He pushed his body to the limit and charged into the sky. However, just as he was three meters in the air, a tremendous force came crashing down from above like collapsed mountains, pressing down on his body and instantly knocking him back into the cloud channel.

Seeing this scene, the Sky Sovereign, who was beside him, had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

Retreating was fine, but wanting to return to the stage was like a dream. After entering the Cloud Mist Passage, one either had to pass through it alive like Tang Huan, or die here. Other than this, there might not be a third possibility. No matter whether he advanced or retreated, no matter whether he stayed where he was, he could not guarantee his own safety. He might be in danger at any moment …

Life.

Moreover, they had reason to suspect that even if they retreated and stayed in one place without encountering danger, it did not mean that they could leave this place alive. Even if they survived through the cloud tunnel, they might still be trapped inside it forever.

The crowd on the platform also guessed this point, and their expressions were all solemn and solemn.

Upon entering the cloud tunnel, there was no escape.

However, there didn’t seem to be any way out of this situation. It was as if this test could only be accepted and not avoided. This was to say that whether it was an Empyrean on the high platform or an Empyrean in the foggy passageway, they were both forced to advance through the foggy channel.

As everyone’s thoughts raced, the stage became extremely silent.

”Let’s go.”

After an unknown amount of time, a crisp sound suddenly broke the silence of the area.

The person who spoke was Sky Sovereign Liu Li, who was on good terms with Tang Huan and her sister. After he finished speaking, Liu Li had already walked to the edge of the stage, and together with her were the two tyrannical Sky Sovereigns, Qin Xian Ye and Ji Qingtian.

Seeing the three of them moving together, everyone’s expression became complicated. The cultivators who were originally eager to give it a try had completely put that thought out of their minds and planned to check out the situation first. But now, Liu Li, Qin Xian Ye and Ji Qingtian had actually started to take action, which caused them to be astonished. They were still entering the Cloud Mist Passage at this time, could it be that they were not aware of the dangers inside?
