Chapter 889: Mysterious Person

Even Yan Buji's Instant Movement Technique was useless; even when Yan Buji cast the woven needle ring around his body, it only prevented that forbidden void force from affecting him.

"As expected, they were prepared."

Would Yan Buji ever give them a chance?

He stepped forward; even without using the Instant Movement Technique, he still had various acceleration secrets and Dao martial skills, and the Instant Shadow Step unfolded!

His form approached like a ghost, and the Swallow Desire Pot hanging above his head shed countless Dao threads of power that turned into golden silk, sealing Yang Lan in the void and holding her in place!

"Die!"

Yang Qing gritted his teeth, rushed forward and forcefully pushed Yang Lan aside, then swung his sword to meet!

"Clang!"

Sword and hammer clashed, sparks flew everywhere!

Yang Qing let out a muffled hum, his thumb socket cracked, the long sword almost slipped from his hand!

"Sister!" Yang Lan shouted, quickly casting a jade talisman, which she crushed into a light shield that protected the two of them.

"Useless." Yan Buji sneered, leapt a span across the sky, the Sea Kun Hammer struck down again, containing myriad mighty forces, shaking the surrounding space incessantly; the ultimate power burst at ultimate speed, a hammer slammed onto that light shield!

"Crack!"

The shield shattered in response, Yang Qing and Yang Lan simultaneously vomited blood and were flung backward!

Yan Buji was about to pursue, when suddenly the entire heavens and earth violently trembled!

He looked up sharply and saw the Dream Master, Duo Gu and Zhao Wu Hai's battle had already entered a white‑hot stage, terrifying aftershocks sweeping in!

"Boom!"

A jet of pitch‑black demonic aura collided with the dream power, the exploding shockwave flattened mountains within a thousand‑li radius!

Yan Buji had to temporarily abandon the chase, retreating swiftly.

Yang Qing and Yang Lan seized the chance to widen the distance, their faces pale.

"Sister… let's escape!" Yang Lan whispered tremblingly.

Yang Qing gritted his teeth: "Escape? Yan Buji won't let us go! While the Dream Master and Duo Gu are locked in battle, we should join forces and kill him!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Yang Lan's eyes, she nodded: "Fine!"

The two exchanged a glance, simultaneously formed a seal, and their surrounding aura surged abruptly!

"Mysterious Gate Forbidden Art·Dual Resonance!"

In an instant, Yang Qing and Yang Lan's auras merged into one, briefly stepping onto the Refining Void threshold!

Yan Buji narrowed his eyes: "Oh? Interesting."

He no longer held back; his inner essence resonated together, golden light surged skyward!

"Then let's see whether your forbidden art is stronger, or my essence method is stronger!"

Yang Qing and Yang Lan jointly unleashed the forbidden art, a sword‑and‑silk combined strike, turning into a dazzling torrent of law, roaring toward Yan Buji!

Yan Buji let out a long howl, the golden essence power erupted fully, simultaneously coordinated with the Heavenly Gate Five Elements Method and Blood Heaven Ascension Degree!

Whether flesh or spirit, Yan Buji's power at this moment reached the absolute pinnacle!

Golden essence power covered the Sea Kun Hammer; although the Sea Kun Hammer had battled Yan Buji for years and had been refined six times, under his full infusion it now showed signs of imminent collapse!

Yan Buji naturally could not care about that; the intense killing intent drove his greedy desire for his target, which was the Dao Strategy Mysterious Chapter hidden within the two of them, even though Yan Buji might not currently need the Dao Strategy Mysterious Chapter's aid…

The thing I have set my eyes on cannot escape my grasp again!

"Collapse Heaven!"

"Boom!!!"

At the moment the two forces collided, the entire space completely collapsed!

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield.

The Dream Master was restrained by Duo Gu's Devour power, and Zhao Wu Hai's Mystic Heaven Mirror finally struck Duo Gu!

"Poof!" Duo Gu's demonic body cracked, but he snarled, suddenly grasped a strand of the Dream Master's source, and devoured wildly!

"Hahaha! The Dream Master's power is mine!"

The Dream Master emitted a mournful shriek, the whole dream realm began to collapse!

Zhao Wu Hai's face changed dramatically: "Oh no!"

The battle between Yan Buji and Yang Qing and Yang Lan was also affected by this power, the three were simultaneously blasted away!

"Opportunity!" A cold glint flashed in Yan Buji's eyes; seizing the moment the shockwave pushed Yang Qing and Yang Lan back, he surged forward violently!

"It's over!"

His right hand turned into a golden blade, thrust straight at Yang Qing's heart!

"Sister!!" Yang Lan's eyes widened to the brink of bursting, trying to rescue but too late!

Yan Buji's golden blade was only an inch away from Yang Qing's heart, yet it was blocked hard by a sudden burst of cyan light. He looked up sharply and saw earlier a mysterious person holding an iron sword, standing coldly in mid‑air.

"Kid, show mercy when you can."

Yan Buji's murderous intent did not wane; the instant his eyes met the mysterious person his pupils contracted, but he sneered: "Senior, are you interfering in my personal vendetta?"

The mysterious person shook his head: "No, no, it's just not a good time to kill anyone now."

He pointed a finger at the sky; Yan Buji followed his gaze, his pupils suddenly constricted.

The Dream Master's giant eye was now fully open, its icy stare locked on Duo Gu and Zhao Wu Hai. Duo Gu's demonic body had already been heavily damaged by the Mystic Heaven Mirror's demon‑suppressing power, yet he snarled, his hands tightly clutching a strand of the Dream Master's source power, devouring wildly!

"Boom!"

The Dream Master's giant eye suddenly contracted, then a terrifying wave spread from the sky!

"Bad! The Dream Master is about to self‑detonate his source!" Zhao Wu Hai's face changed dramatically, he swiftly cast the Mystic Heaven Mirror to shield himself, and with a sweep of his sleeve, pulled Yang Lan to his side.

The mysterious person sighed, swung his iron sword, and his form suddenly blurred: "Kid, if you don't leave now, it'll be too late."

Before the words finished, he had vanished without a trace.

Yan Buji's face darkened; he knew what the self-destruction of a Dream Master such as this meant — within a radius of ten thousand li, everything would likely be razed to the ground.

"Damn it!"

He glanced at Yang Qing. At this moment, Yang Qing was suffering a backlash from the forbidden technique, his breath feeble, utterly unable to move. Meanwhile, Yang Lan had already been rescued by Zhao Wu Hai; pursuing her now would be too late.

"At least… I can't let you leave alive!"

Yan Buji's eyes flared with golden light as he thrust his right hand forward!

"Pfft!"

The golden blade pierced Yang Qing's heart, blood spurting out. Yang Qing's pupils constricted, a trickle of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of unwillingness: "You…"

"I told you, you all have to die." Yan Buji coldly withdrew the blade, at the same time grabbing her corpse and stuffing it into his storage ring.

"Boom—"

The Dream Master's origin in the sky finally erupted!

The terrifying power of the Dream Realm surged downward like a tide, wherever it passed space shattered inch by inch and all things were annihilated!

Yan Buji hesitated no longer, his inner essential power surging wildly as he activated the Rift Scepter, forcibly tearing open a spatial rift!

"Go!"

His figure instantly vanished into the rift, then, using the Heaven Gate Law, he escaped this place!

Just as he disappeared, the Dream Master's self-destructive power completely swept across the heavens and earth!

Within ten thousand li, mountains collapsed, rivers evaporated, and all living beings were reduced to nothing!

……

A thousand li away, in a desolate valley.

"Boom!"

A spatial rift suddenly tore open, Yan Buji's figure stumbled out in a sorry state, crashing heavily to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.

"Damn… I almost got sucked in!"

He struggled to his feet, looked back, and saw that the distant sky had been completely devoured by the Dream Realm's power, turning into a sheet of chaos.

"Who is that guy?" Yan Buji hadn't been able to make out that mysterious person's figure just then, but at the time he had been hot-headed, intent on killing Yang Qing and Yang Lan.

On the contrary, without that mysterious person's interference, Yan Buji might not have realized for a moment that he was in danger.

After all, Yan Buji couldn't possibly monitor every direction in the midst of battle, and furthermore the enemy's combat far exceeded his strength, making it impossible to glean any useful information.

"The Dream Master's self-destruction, the Heavenly Demon King's avatar, that Du Gu fellow…"

Yan Buji narrowed his eyes; he faintly saw that at the final moment of the Dream Master's origin explosion, Du Gu's demon body was utterly annihilated, but a wisp of pitch-black demon thought seized the chance to burrow into the Dream Realm's fragments!

"This guy… actually abandoned his flesh and entered the Dream Realm with his consciousness?"

Yan Buji's heart jolted; he immediately grasped Du Gu's intention — what did he plan to do in the Dream Realm?!

"The Heavenly Demon Clan… truly persistent! It's likely that this emergence of the Dream Realm, together with the Dream Master, is all the Heavenly Demon Clan's scheme, wanting to accomplish something within the Dream Realm."

He gave a cold snort, lowered his head and glanced at his storage ring.

Yang Qing's corpse was still inside, while Yang Lan had escaped.

"But… at least I got one."

A flicker of coldness crossed Yan Buji's eyes as he slowly rose to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

After searching Yang Qing's person and even his soul, Yan Buji still couldn't find the existence of another chapter of the Profound Strategy Chapter, which made his face look quite grim.

"Damn, it must be on Yang Lan then!" Yan Buji narrowed his eyes.

There's plenty of time ahead; there will still be chances.
