Sky Shadow was surprised! Even with his keen senses, he could barely perceive that every green leaf and ice butterfly was merely one of Mengdie's myriad manifestations. It wasn't until his body hit the ground that he confirmed the person who just attacked him was indeed Mengdie.
Such dense attacks, though unable to completely break his defense, leaned more towards skimming actions. Yet, enduring such terrifying frequency simultaneously was enough to stomp an ordinary person into pulp. Looking up again, Mengdie was already standing quietly before Wu Tian.
"Hmph, turns out it was you..."
It can be said, when Sky Shadow withstood Mengdie's assault, he subconsciously linked his thoughts to Mengdie. After all, three years ago, during that action, not only did he understand the ultimate skill, but Mengdie's moves blurred to him. In other words, this woman had also comprehended something unknown. With Mengdie's subsequent exhibitions, Sky Shadow could easily connect; only Mengdie's speed could elude his sight to such extent.
However, just how fast, Sky Shadow didn't have an exact concept in mind. He particularly remembered Roland once said, evaluating Mengdie's speed, even her eyes could hardly keep up. You should know, vision speed always surpasses body technique. Since Roland could say she struggled to keep up visually, this suggests Mengdie's speed might surpass Roland's own technique—or there's such possibility.
In other words, Roland's prowess ranks above his own, and even Roland couldn't keep up; his inability to discern Mengdie's movements was no accident. So, when his body suffered such assaults, the first person Sky Shadow recalled was Mengdie, and Mengdie hailed from the Jade Clear Sect. In this world, only a few people possessed speed beyond his sight, so Sky Shadow intuitively linked this to Mengdie.
Sure enough, after steadying his mind, he indeed saw the person before him was Mengdie.
But, so what? If a fight's to be had, he wouldn't fear Mengdie. On the contrary, Mengdie's sneak attack was merely unexpected; with caution, even if Mengdie came, it would be hard to inflict harm. But this alleged harm was gauged by Mengdie's past destructive power. As martial arts dictate, speed conquers all attempts; if Mengdie combined such speed with newfound abilities in another dimension, such as body techniques, the result would be unpredictable.
Nonetheless, Sky Shadow deemed the threat negligible. His training intensity far surpassed those of obscure sects. Feng Yi often advised there's no shortcut to hard work, a notion Sky Shadow heartily agreed with. Throughout human history, exceptional talents rarely flourish without effort, and though their potential may be grand, it's merely potential. Besides, he was inherently talented, coupled with long-term diligence, even in terms of physical strength, he did not fear Roland.
In this world, including past individuals, only Feng Yi and Kexiao could match him head-on; the rest, Sky Shadow hadn't truly considered. Perhaps at certain times, his physical prowess couldn't exceed Roland's, but as his level rose, during concurrent stages as a woman, Roland couldn't possibly keep pace with him.
Sky Shadow got up, twisted his head, and shrugged his shoulders in a somewhat confrontational manner, murmuring a comment: "Such sharp attacks, too bad they still can't hurt me. If you're coming, bring it on together."
Mengdie stood gracefully, calm as a virgin, her gaze profound. Upon hearing, she showed no intention of further action, seemingly opting not to engage beyond resolving the situation.
"You thief, quickly return Feng Luo and Feng Wu to me."
Sky Shadow snorted, "I wasn't the one who abducted them. Since explanations are futile, let's proceed."
The outer disciples and apprentices were then tardily arriving.
Upon hearing Wu Tian's voice, Mengdie hesitated slightly, then shot a spiritual ray towards him. With Wu Tian's response, Mengdie seemed to suddenly grasp the origin of matters, shaking her head towards Wu Tian, insinuating the affair might not be Sky Shadow's doing.
For Wu Tian, who faced Mengdie's conveyed thoughts, it was unforeseen, "Butterfly, even you think he didn't abduct the children?"
"Yes." Mengdie replied.
"Then who could it be?"
For this question, Mengdie didn't respond, her thoughts briefly silent. In truth, Sky Shadow wasn't sure if she was lost in thought, as this woman always appeared enigmatic. Discerning emotion from her gaze was nearly impossible; pondering this matter with a lowered head was the only hope of guessing the mystery in her mind.
Witnessing Wu Tian's attitude slightly soften, seemingly not planning further action, Sky Shadow gradually restrained his aura, "I'm unaware of your family's circumstances, but regardless of where the children are, they must leave with me in future."
Who do you think you are, asking to take them? The children's mother stands right here, and you shamelessly declare taking them without regard, truly audacious.
However, since the children aren't in his possession, Wu Tian preferred not to engage with this tough figure like Sky Shadow. Considering Mengdie's time spent with Sky Shadow, Wu Tian had absolute faith in Mengdie's judgment. Since Mengdie didn't suspect Sky Shadow, it asserted the children genuinely weren't with him. Though pondering carefully, if not driven by frantic parental love, Wu Tian might never have fought so rashly. Yet, Sky Shadow's domineering demand irritated him deeply.
Still, there was no one in the Jade Clear Sect capable of subduing Sky Shadow. Wu Tian angrily exclaimed, "If Feng Yi were alive, you wouldn't dare such reckless acts."
Feng Yi...? Upon hearing Feng Yi's name, Sky Shadow hesitated slightly, his tone full of ridicule, "It's pathetic you'd say such a thing, seems you don't understand him."
"What do you mean?"
"If it were Feng Yi, not only wouldn't he stop me, he might support my decision," Sky Shadow looked at Mengdie and then at Wu Tian, suddenly laughing, his words turning sharply, "Speaking of which, ultimately it was indirectly caused by you, wasn't it? You should know who the culprit is, leading humanity into unprecedented peril, causing collective migration across nations, even destroying this starry sky, perhaps the universe..."
In a logical stance, Sky Shadow's speech was profoundly coherent. Assuming Feng Yi hadn't died, bizarre wouldn't achieve growth space. In Mo Ying's predestined trajectory, there was no detection of 'bizarre' from 3.5-dimensional space disturbing this timeline. The emergence of bizarre defies this universe's physics logic, creating something from nothing, a foreign form never meant to exist here.
"I won't rest from this, hahahahaha..."
With laughter, Sky Shadow vanished instantly, leaving bewildered inner and outer disciples along with elders and protectors facing each other.
Wu Tian sighed long and deep! If possible, he wished matters hadn't escalated to today's state. At the time, he too desired to save Feng Yi.
Because of this matter, the Immortal Mountain was razed by the Blaze Legion. Some legacy books perished, and there is still debt owed to Blade Fifty-One. Originally, interests differed between both parties, but unforeseen developments...
Alas! Every time Wu Tian pondered this, a frequent sigh escaped him. Now, Feng Wu and Feng Luo weren't just grandchildren; they embodied Feng Yi's legacy. At least regarding this, he yearned to treat those kids more kindly, in part to amends Feng Yi's deficit. If Jade Clear Sect persists to this day, indeed, thanks must be given to Feng Yi. Without Feng Yi's extensive horizon and open heart, today's Jade Clear Sect might not exist.
According to Feng Yi's past influence, regarding this matter, destruction of Jade Clear Sect was merely a sentence away. Some may suggest due to Feng Yi's foresight, aware of war's chain reaction, he refrained from retaliating against Jade Clear Sect.
But who truly is Feng Yi? That's Revenge Shadow Rider! Let him pilot a Gundam to invade and bombard, Jade Clear Sect would surely cease to exist. Revenge Shadow Rider commands fear even amongst sovereign powers' forces, yet Feng Yi didn't take such steps; hence it's evident his wide perspective considering both national stances was but one aspect—Feng Yi's generous heart and character were keys determining Jade Clear Sect's fate.
