People are Behind the Scenes, and I Can Do the Material Fusion!

73: This day is more exciting and thrilling than the previous decades!At this instant, a clear and cold sword hum suddenly echoed in the sky.

A greyish-white sword energy descended from the sky like an inverted Milky Way, instantly tearing apart the barrier between heaven and earth.

The raging Flame Demon suddenly froze in place, and the surging purple-black energy torrent actually solidified in mid-air.

“This…”

Rodriguez’s eyes widened as he was astonished to find countless tiny grey lines gradually appearing on the Flame Demon’s massive body.

These grey lines seemed to possess Life, moving and darting across the Flame Demon’s surface, and wherever they went, the purple-black energy rapidly receded.

“Ember Sky Son?!”

The Storm Empress had also barely recovered some strength by now.

Weakly raising her head, she saw a grey-haired figure slowly descending from high in the sky.

His eyes had turned completely greyish-white, and the long sword in his hand was no longer dazzling gold, but a deathly grey.

Even more shocking was the faint, blurry grey shadow that appeared behind him. The shadow’s posture was identical to Ember Sky Son’s, yet it emanated an ancient andVicissitudes aura.

“You…”

Rodriguez stammered, momentarily speechless.

He keenly noticed that the current Ember Sky Son was like a completely different person compared to before.

Ember Sky Son ignored everyone’s shock, simply gazing quietly at the Flame Demon.

He raised the greyish-white long sword in his hand and softly uttered two words:

“Guixu.”

These simple two words caused the entire world to fall silent.

Immediately after, something that sent shivers down everyone’s spines occurred—the Flame Demon’s colossal body began to “fade.”

Like an ink wash painting soaked by rain, its colors gradually dissipated, eventually turning completely greyish-white.

Then, under everyone’s terrified gaze, the greyish-white Flame Demon began to collapse and disintegrate.

This was not an explosion, nor a melting, but rather a gradual disappearance like a sand sculpture, turning into ashes that scattered with the wind.

Only a pitch-black stone remained.

“This…is this the strength of the Great Xia’s strongest person?”

Tanaka Katsuyu’s legs went weak, and he slumped to the ground, swallowing dryly as his body trembled uncontrollably.

Rodriguez held the Storm Empress tightly, his hands also trembling slightly.

As a spatial ability user, he understood better than anyone that this was by no means an ordinary attack—Ember Sky Son’s sword just now not only erased the Flame Demon but also turned the surrounding spatial elemental energy into ashes.

He could not perceive any trace of spatial power in that area.

Boom—!

Boom—!

Suddenly, a low heartbeat sound came from afar. Everyone stiffly turned their heads, their gazes simultaneously falling on the spot where only the pitch-black stone remained.

At this moment, its surface was covered in glowing, lava-like patterns.

Boom—!

Boom—!

Those patterns pulsed like living blood vessels, and each throb was accompanied by an eerie roar, as if a trapped demon’s heart was gradually awakening.

“No?!”

“It’s not dead yet?!”

Rodriguez let out a gasp of surprise.

The scene fell into a brief silence, with almost no one daring to make a move. All eyes converged on Ember Sky Son.

Sensing their gazes, Ember Sky Son paused slightly, then left without hesitation, leaving behind a bewildered crowd.

…

Scene change.

An Changyang and Fang Zhiqiang finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the monster fall.

However, at that moment, a blurry figure suddenly appeared before them.

Su Yun and the other two were instantly stunned. Upon closer inspection, the person who arrived was none other than the awe-inspiring and domineering Ember Sky Son.

Without a word, Ember Sky Son directly released a greyish-white energy, instantly sealing off the space within a hundred-meter radius tightly.

After doing all this, he quickly turned around and spoke with lightning speed:

“In three days, my energy barrier will automatically dissipate. Remember, if I detect any signs of losing control by then, you must immediately attack me with that energy orb.”

Actually, Ember Sky Son originally didn’t intend to do this, but that guy named Old Grey was too unscrupulous.

How dare he threaten the safety of Great Xia?

Ember Sky Son dared not gamble with such a matter.

Therefore, to be safe, he could only apologize to the Star Constellation Society members.

However, it was fortunate that he had heard the Star Constellation Society possessed a kind of infinite resurrection ability.

So even if an accident truly occurred, these few people shouldn’t be in Life-threatening danger, right?

At most, he would just give them more compensation later.

With that, Ember Sky Son’s body suddenly began to tremble violently, and a hint of struggle flashed in his greyish-white pupils.

Then, he slowly drew his long sword and plunged it into the ground. His entire being then transformed into a grey statue, standing motionless there.

Su Yun and the other two exchanged glances. Although they didn’t know what had just happened, their safety for the next three days was secured.

However, while they had safety, they were also trapped here for three days.

“Cough cough!!”

Just then, Blood Skyhawk suddenly coughed violently twice and slowly regained consciousness.

He slowly opened his eyes, and while his vision was still blurry, he saw three faces unusually close to his.

As soon as he recognized his three teammates, Blood Skyhawk immediately perked up and asked,

“What’s the situation now?”

The three exchanged glances, no one rushing to speak.

Su Yun originally wanted to volunteer to explain but was held back by An Changyang and Fang Zhiqiang, who prevented him from speaking.

Finally, An Changyang stepped forward and simply said,

“Our safety for the next three days is assured.”

“But the problem is—we can’t leave for now.”

Blood Skyhawk froze upon hearing this.

What did “safety is assured” but “can’t leave” mean?

Could it be…they had already been captured by the Sword Saint?

Now they were prisoners, to be held for three days before execution?

Thinking of this, cold sweat instantly broke out.

He quickly gripped the energy orb in his hand and vigilantly looked around.

Aside from a strange grey statue in front of him, there seemed to be no other abnormalities in the room.

Seeing this, Blood Skyhawk’s confusion deepened.

Could he have guessed wrong?

At this moment, An Changyang walked over and explained in detail what had happened while Blood Skyhawk was unconscious.

After listening, only one keyword remained in Blood Skyhawk’s mind—that grey statue was actually called “Ember Sky Son”?

He abruptly looked up, staring at the statue, and asked with a trembling voice,

“You’re saying, this thing is Ember Sky Son?”

An Changyang nodded, feeling confused:

Why did Blood Skyhawk seem to know this person?

Looking at his excited reaction, did he know him?

After receiving confirmation, Blood Skyhawk’s fingers began to tremble uncontrollably.

As someone who had been hunted by the Zhurong Department for three whole years, how could he be unfamiliar with the name “Ember Sky Son”?

This was the strongest person in Great Xia, and even the guardian deity of the entire country!

Back then, one person, one sword, single-handedly quelled three Disaster-level Critical Points;

He even broke into the legendary Divine Forbidden Land and retreated unscathed;

Not to mention the time he supported the Northern Han Empire, single-handedly suppressing a World-Destroying level Critical Point, making the opponent dare not act rashly for half a year.

Anyone who had spent a few years in the transcendent world knew the great name of this legendary figure!

At this moment, such a legendary figure was actually standing alive before him, and even in this form, Blood Skyhawk muttered to himself:

This scene is too unreal!

Thinking carefully, instead of saying this scene was like a dream, it was more accurate to say that all his experiences recently felt like a dream.

He even had a fantastical feeling, how long had he been in Island Country?

It seemed like not even a full day, right?

Yet in such a short period, it was more thrilling and exciting than decades combined before.

“Uh…Blood Ghost, don’t you enhance your strength by absorbing blood?”

Just then, Fang Zhiqiang suddenly asked, breaking the brief silence.
