Jiang Yunsheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, feeling quite dismissive in his heart.
A mortal martial artist trying to catch up to a cultivator flying through the air on foot?
It was simply a pipe dream. This woman was likely just proud and trying to save face.
He smiled, not exposing her. “Since Miss Su is so confident, this prince and Commander Pang will wait for you ahead.”
With that, Jiang Yunsheng and his bodyguard Pang Lie exchanged a glance. Spiritual energy surged around them as they immediately shot up from the ground, turning into two streaks of light that soared into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, they swept toward the horizon, clearly intending to show off their immortal methods to these two martial artists.
Watching the two streaks of light shrink into black dots in the blink of an eye, Han Yu was completely dumbfounded.
She anxiously tugged at Su Yueli's sleeve. “Master... they are flying in the sky, and their speed is terrifying. We're running on foot, so how could we possibly keep up?”
Su Yueli reached out and grabbed Han Yu by the back of her collar, her lips curling into a slight smile.
“Don't worry, we will naturally keep up.”
Before Han Yu could react, she felt the surrounding space suddenly contract. A sharp pain pierced her ears as a fierce gale of rushing wind whipped past her.
The scenery before her eyes receded frantically, blurring into a chaotic smear of light and shadow.
She even developed a ridiculous illusion.
Her physical body had already flown far ahead, while her soul was still foolishly chasing behind.
In the next instant, the howling wind abruptly stopped.
Han Yu snapped her eyes open, only to find herself and her master standing side-by-side on top of a treetop, just a few yards away from Jiang Yunsheng and Pang Lie, who were still flying in midair!
In the air, Jiang Yunsheng, who was gently swaying his folding fan while channeling his spiritual energy, suddenly caught a glimpse of a blue shadow out of the corner of his eye. His entire body froze on the spot.
His eyes widened, and the fingers gripping his folding fan trembled slightly.
This... how was this possible?!
Beside him, the Tenth Realm bodyguard Pang Lie gasped, a tempest raging in his heart.
As a cultivator at the peak of the Tenth Realm, his flying speed was incredibly swift.
Yet this blue-robed woman, carrying another person, had caught up to them so effortlessly, relying purely on physical movement techniques!
There was not even the slightest ripple of spiritual energy on her body!
Pang Lie was deeply shocked. Could this be some top-tier martial arts movement technique of Great Li that had long been lost to time?
But even with the most advanced movement technique, without spiritual energy to support it, how could a physical body withstand such intense friction from the air?
After the initial shock, the astonishment and interest in Jiang Yunsheng's eyes grew even more intense.
He thought to himself that this was truly too interesting!
He had thought she was just an ordinary stunning beauty, but he hadn't expected her to hide such secrets.
However, he quickly suppressed his shock and smiled. “Miss Su has such profound movement techniques! In that case, this prince will have to speed up. Make sure you two keep up!”
With that, he gave Pang Lie a look. Spiritual energy flared around the two of them, and their speed suddenly surged as they shot forward like streaks of light.
Han Yu watched the two figures turn into streaks of light and fly away, swallowing hard. She turned to Su Yueli and said, “Master... they've sped up again. Should we...”
“Let's go too,” Su Yueli said calmly.
Before her voice even faded, she grabbed Han Yu by the back of her collar, and her figure vanished from the treetop once again.
...
Two days later, in the extreme north of Great Qian, at the outskirts of the Ice Soul Abyss.
A howling blizzard blanketed the sky and earth. The surroundings were a vast, deathly silent expanse, and the temperature was outrageously low, to the point where even the air seemed frozen solid.
“Ugh...”
The moment Han Yu's feet touched the ground, she collapsed beside a glacial rock. Her hair was blown wild like dry grass by the fierce wind, her face was deathly pale, and her eyes were vacant.
After a full two days of high-speed dashing, although she had adapted somewhat along the way, her master's speed was simply too fast—so fast that she felt as if her soul had not yet returned to her body.
It took her quite a while to catch her breath, and the awe in her heart for her master had reached an absolute peak.
How was this a mortal martial artist? Her master was simply an unfathomable monster!
Ahead, Jiang Yunsheng and Pang Lie also landed on the snow.
Although Jiang Yunsheng's clothes were neat, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
Over the past two days, he and Pang Lie had practically exerted all their strength to fly through the air. He had originally thought they could leave Su Yueli far behind, forcing her to ask him for help.
But to his absolute shock, over these two days, the blue-robed woman had constantly followed them within thirty feet, her pace as leisurely as a stroll in a courtyard!
Looking at the composed Su Yueli, a tempest raged in Jiang Yunsheng's heart. A full two days of rushing at top speed, yet how could her blood qi show no signs of depletion? Is this woman's physical body made of dark iron?!
“Miss Su is indeed extraordinary. This prince is full of admiration,” Jiang Yunsheng said, suppressing the shock in his heart as he offered polite praise.
Su Yueli nodded slightly, her eyes calm as she scanned the massive rift valley ahead. “Is this the Ice Soul Abyss?”
“Indeed.”
Pang Lie spoke up first, a hint of warning and pride in his tone. “This abyss is bottomless, and many ferocious demon beasts linger around its outskirts year-round. You two ladies must make sure to keep close to me later. Do not act on your own.”
Pang Lie was somewhat unconvinced. Having a fast movement technique did not mean one was strong in actual combat. Once they reached the dangerous depths of the abyss, they would still have to rely on true ability!
The four of them descended into the abyss along the icy cliffs.
Having descended only a few hundred meters, bloodthirsty roars echoed from the darkness.
Several pure white, giant-fanged ice plains beasts suddenly lunged out from the icy crevices, exuding auras comparable to cultivators of the Third or Fourth Realm.
“Hmph, vile beasts, seeking death!”
Pang Lie snorted coldly. Eager to show off his strength in front of the two beauties, he raised his hand and blasted out a domineering golden palm print.
Violent Tenth Realm spiritual energy swept out, instantly crushing those few Third and Fourth Realm demon beasts into a mist of blood and powder.
Pang Lie pulled back his hand and turned to look at Su Yueli with a rather proud expression.
In his view, such immortal methods of destroying several demon beasts with a wave of his hand would surely awe these two mortal women.
Seeing this, Jiang Yunsheng's lips curled up slightly. He laughed in his heart; only by having Pang Lie display such absolute power could they understand the gap between immortals and mortals.
No matter how beautiful a woman was, she would eventually be moved when faced with absolute power.
Women, after all, always admired the strong.
Yet Su Yueli's heart remained completely undisturbed, and she even felt a bit amused.
Looking at Pang Lie's secretly smug expression, Su Yueli could not help but shake her head.
This Great Qian Crown Prince's bodyguard was quite interesting, actually boasting about killing a few low-level Third or Fourth Realm beasts.
Oh well, having someone clear the path ahead saved her some trouble anyway.
Her perception had already penetrated through layers of glacial rock, heading straight for the deeper parts of the abyss.
There, an extremely pure and icy medicinal energy was slowly incubating.
At the same time, it was accompanied by an obscure yet massive, ferocious aura. She was unsure of what realm this demon beast belonged to.
With their own hidden thoughts, the four of them continued walking down into the gloomy, freezing depths of the Ice Soul Abyss...
