Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing that he could not advance, Eunuch Wu retreated hastily to seek for another way out. However, the panther hovering in midair was not done with its attack yet, its mouth opened after the initial bite, a green glow suddenly pouring out from its throat.

Swoosh!

Eunuch Wu could no longer avoid this sudden attack as the green glow exploded in front of his chest.

The green luster turned into a storm of sharp blades, careening and striking against every open surface.

"Argh!" Eunuch Wu howled in agony.

His chest had been pincushioned by the airborne blades, bloodied in every inch where the eyes could see. Even his bones had been exposed by the deadly hail of steel.

The little critter in the air trembled before it fell to the ground helplessly. It was a cub, after all, the attack was all it had.

Fang Mofei leaped a few hundred feet across like lightning, his body as stable as a mountain. With a shout, nineteen consecutive punches fell like nineteen heavy hammers, landing hard enough to break heaven’s ground.

Behind him, Lao Mei appeared like a ghost. The sword in his hand gleamed icily before turning into three streaming rays which sped towards the back of Eunuch Wu.

In that instant, death was near for Eunuch Wu who was already heavily wounded and was now being fatally attacked simultaneously from both his front and back.

It was expected that Eunuch Wu refused to accept the impending death. With a harsh cry, he turned quickly as his feet shuffled like a tornado, sharp kicks meeting Fang Mofei’s punches. His right hand jerked, a saber appeared from thin air. Clang, clang, clang, it rang shrilly against Lao Mei’s strikes.

Fang Mofei’s power, Lao Mei’s energy, and Eunuch Wu’s recoiling force mashed together, forming a gravitational force field of its own.

Yun Yang who wanted to helped could no longer attack; intervening now would mean attacking all three people at the same time. Not only would his attacking power be thinned, he had to bear the countering force of the three of them merged together. He would only suffer from it!

For now staying still was a better idea than making a move. He could only observe the situation and seek for a good chance to attack.

The three who were in the whirlpool roared simultaneously, attacking and defensive methods applied in a controlled rage.

The force field whirlpool was being formed from their conjoined forces. Once one of them died, his power would crumble, thus terminating the whirlpool. To Lao Mei and Fang Mofei, it was best to end Eunuch Wu as soon as possible; they renewed their efforts and intensified their attacks.

The pressure mounted in a straight line for Eunuch Wu but he was a decisive man. A circular arrow of blood shot from his mouth, his face turning increasingly pale as his body flew up like a sharp sword towards the sky.

He was using a self-harming method, forcefully twisting three sides of power into a pushing force. Although he had to sustain the most direct impact and pain, it allowed him to fly some two hundred feet high and tore himself away from where the three powers combined into a force field whirlpool. Lao Mei and Fang Mofei were still temporarily trapped in the whirlpool, unable to pull themselves away in time to catch him.

It was only now that Eunuch Wu began to feel relief.

As long as he could change his direction in midair, he could perform a full retreat today.

Who knew that he would be reduced to this stage just by taking revenge against a youth who had humiliated him? He had to be more cautious in the future!

Perhaps when both experts were still entangled in the force field whirlpool, he could try to ambush Yun Yang so as to curb any future disaster?

As Eunuch Wu continued to hesitate, a tiny white shadow appeared in front of him.

It was another white kitten the size of a palm.

"Meow!"

Eunuch Wu was first shocked but he recalled that the Eclipse Panther earlier had already expended itself and could do nothing more. Owning one ninth-level mystical beast like the Eclipse

Panther was already an insane blessing, who could be so mighty to own two at the same time?

It was impossible!

"Childish!" Eunuch Wu scoffed. "You think you can deceive this old man with a misleading troop!"

He delivered a hard punch, confident that it would mash this Lightning Cat in front of him into a meatball!

However, there simply are things that you have to believe in, impossible as they are.

"Meow!"

The kitten cried a high-pitched cry and with a sudden shake of its head, a gigantic panther head appeared. The fangs were pointy and cold as it chomped down on the hand.

"Argh!"

Eunuch Wu was scared out of his wits.

It really was an Eclipse Panther?

Ah…

Eunuch Wu, who had already been severely injured, could not respond in time and was not as lucky; his right hand snapped off with a loud crack. The tiny panther cried as its body was flung away like a ball.

In its mouth was Eunuch Wu’s complete right arm!

Despite the injuries, Eunuch Wu’s punch with its remaining energy had completely warded off the young panther.

Eunuch Wu, missing an arm, howled into the sky. His body staggered back in midair before it fell downwards.

Yun Yang had already picked himself up, gathering the helpless falling panther into his arms. He threw Eunuch Wu’s right arm away in disgust and hugged the small panther lovingly.

The tiny panther mewled before it fainted in Yun Yang’s embrace.

Eunuch Wu was still falling in the air but a white shadow flashed in front of him once more.

It was another tiny panther, its eyes fiery. This old bastard dared wound two of my brothers, you shall die!

The panther shook, a green luminesce shot from its mouth with a roar.

As expected, the Aeroblade Spheroid was unleashed!

"There’s actually one more…" Hopelessness clouded Eunuch Wu’s heart.

Did I fall into a nest of Eclipse Panthers tonight? Why are there so many of them?

The Aeroblade Spheroid was looming large before him.

Eunuch Wu could no longer avoid or counter this attack in time. The man’s eyes shut abruptly as he roared, unleashing all of his mystical Qi, potential energy, and life force!

Pow, pow pow…

His neck, chest, shoulders, and face were bloodied; his face almost stripped of skin and flesh. One of his eyes was also struck by the Aeroblade Spheroid amidst an agonized cry.

Murky black liquid spurted, the sign of an eyeball being squashed. Eunuch Wu was howling in anguish as he fell.

Suddenly, a long cry accompanied a growing glow on his body; his entire being was suddenly enveloped in a green radiance as he charged with an incredible speed like a shooting star into the sky.

"It’s… the Incandescent Meteor Soul!"

Fang Mofei who just pulled himself out of the force field whirlpool failed to give chase for Eunuch Wu’s current speed had exceeded all human limitation. His speed was even increasing, making it impossible to catch up.

"Young master, quickly avoid it! That’s the Arcane Ruins of Star and Soul!"

Fang Mofei knew it was not plausible but he gave chase with all his might, hollering his warning with anxious sweat dotting his face.

Ruins of Star and Soul!

It was the extreme method of using a person’s vital force in becoming a meteor in the sky as one last attack called the Incandescent Meteor Soul!

With the increasing speed, it could even kill someone three levels higher!

It was indestructible, and there was no one had the speed that could match that of this skill.

However, the executor had to pay the price of exhausting his entire vital force, and essence and blood, as well as destroying all his meridians and blood vessels upon using it. Even if the immortals and gods were here to save him, they would be helpless. That being said, this skill had never missed its target.

Fang Mofei had never thought that this eunuch who had always been in the palace would actually possess such mystique skills and unleash it in such a sudden manner.

Eunuch Wu had already charged in front of Yun Yang; his speed did not slow down at all as he went straight at him.

The resulting impact was sure to crush a huge pit even if it were the city wall.

However, Yun Yang who had been standing right before his eyes disappeared abruptly, just in the nick of time.

He disappeared; he vanished entirely into thin air.

In his place was a thick cloud of fog.

Eunuch Wu’s accelerating body ran right through the fog without any friction. The only thing he had achieved was to form a big hole through the complete fog and bringing some of it away with him.

The eunuch finally stopped after another few hundred feet of running.

He seemed to have thought of something as he sunk into an unprecedented state of trance.

He turned around slowly like a puppet, staring at the fog of cloud that had not dissipated and maintained the large hole in the middle. Disbelief painted his only remaining eye.

Lao Mei and Fang Mofei had rushed over to the site as well.

Their four eyes stared dumbly at the fog of cloud, bewildered beyond explanation.

The cloud morphed and slowly, Yun Yang’s shape formed again.

The sliver of cloud that was brought away by Eunuch Wu returned to its owner as well, Yun Yang’s silhouette growing more distinct.

When the cloud of fog had completely disappeared, Yun Yang stood rather weakly in his purple robe. His face was pale and his eyes listless. The loud puffing of air was loud enough for the other three to catch it clearly.

Despite it all, he was still standing there; he was alive. Although he looked rather lethargic and like he was about to pass out, he was still standing there, breathing and alive.

Shock and stupor were written all across Eunuch Wu’s single eye. Within them, there was also a sliver of terror.

"Cloud…" Eunuch Wu murmured with difficulty, "Supreme Cloud?!"

Yun Yang straightened himself slowly. He stood tall and straight; in that moment, his entire being shone like a sharp sword soaring towards the heaven as his gaze turned tired yet majestic.

He said softly, "That is right. I am Supreme Cloud."

"Cough… Heh hehe… cough… Hahaha…" Eunuch Wu coughed, blood spurting from his mouth and within the liquid were pieces of crushed organs. He was still laughing though.

The laughter reeked of despair and self-mockery.

His voice was weak, the fraction of life left to him dwindled like a candle amidst the wind.

"I… I never thought that… I would actually die in the hands of the legendary Supreme Cloud. I’m really blessed from my previous lives, I have not wasted this life either…" The light in Eunuch Wu’s gaze dimmed. "The arduous planning… still came to naught in the end…"

The clarity in his eyes was dimming rapidly, his voice growing frailer.

Yun Yang took one step forward, his voice collected. "Eunuch Wu, tell me who you are."

Eunuch Wu shook his head and mumbled, "Is there still a point?"

Yun Yang pressed on stubbornly, "Which day of which month are you?"

Eunuch Wu shuddered, his head that he would not be able to lift anymore jerked slightly. He looked at Yun Yang, the last sliver of radiance vanishing in his orbs as he murmured, "Autumn… is here… It’s the eighth month… It’s time to reunite… for mid-autumn…"
