Chapter 153: Chapter 153: The End of the Pursuit, Beneath the Heaven-Reaching Bridge!

The Silver Boat hurriedly sailed over the Yellow Springs, the locked-on aura growing ever nearer.

Indistinctly, a green spot appeared in their line of sight.

Liang Hui maneuvered the Flying Boat, its speed climbing once more, a pale-white long ruler floating above his head, radiating a bone-chilling murderous intent.

...

Aboard the green boat.

Two figures stood, one an elder in a green robe, his expression grave as he looked at the Silver Boat emerging behind them.

The other, a girl at the bow in yellow clothes, her hair tied into plaits draped over her back, her beautiful face filled with panic.

"Elder Chang, how could they have caught up so quickly? What we released was the Demon Spirit Mist, a nearly incurable poison beneath the breath of life."

Compared to the girl, the elder was much calmer.

He quickly stepped beside her, patting her trembling shoulder from fear.

"Miss, there’s no need to panic, I’m still here, continue heading towards our destination."

"But that person could slay the nefarious path’s powerhouses and break through the encirclement of the three major families, Elder Chang, you won’t be his match."

The girl’s voice gradually took on a tone of despair.

They had once glimpsed that encirclement battle from afar in the Sea of Flowers.

The sight of the young man’s invincible figure, there was simply no way to contend head-on, originally hoping to take advantage of the Yellow Springs’ properties to ambush, but they didn’t expect it to turn out this way.

Elder Chang, looking at the quickly approaching Silver Boat, let his hand drop from the girl’s shoulder and said in a deep voice,

"Miss, since we decided to seek revenge for our Longevity Hall brethren, hence using the ace in the Treasure-Seeking Rat’s body, we should be prepared for this."

"The winner lives, the loser dies."

"Continue controlling the boat to the destination, there’s still a chance of survival, I’ll hold back the enemy."

In the elder’s murky eyes, there was now a determination to die.

His aged palm waved.

A smaller green boat appeared above the Yellow Springs, and with a leap, he stood upon it,

heading straight towards the Silver Boat.

"Miss, you must survive!"

With a sigh, the elder’s voice dissipated as the boat moved on.

Liang Hui, who was controlling the Silver Boat, of course, also saw the small boat hurtling towards them, carrying its fierce momentum.

His expression indifferent, the Flying Boat didn’t slow in the slightest, the snow-white long ruler above, its radiance growing even more translucent.

In the next moment, disregarding the special nature of Yellow Springs, he left the Flying Boat and struck directly forward.

The pale-white brilliance wasn’t dazzling but carried an aura of supreme arrogance and finality.

If a single strike didn’t destroy the boat and the enemy, the object would sink into Yellow Springs.

Elder Chang appeared to have felt that resolve as well.

"You are too arrogant!"

He let out a heaven-reaching howl, his white hair flying.

Clouds of multicolored poisons burst open from his body, covering the small boat in a five-colored smog, meeting the long ruler head-on.

Like ice and snow facing the warm sun, the poisonous mist was extinguished in an instant.

Then, it struck directly onto the elder’s body.

Bang! Crack!

The elder exploded on the spot, and the body of the boat also instantly disintegrated.

The enemy-slaying snow-white long ruler slightly lifted, then began to fall.

It was obviously affected by Yellow Springs.

Just as it was about to fall into Yellow Springs, a fair hand grasped the long ruler.

The Silver Boat, carrying Liang Hui and Su Yao, had already arrived where the elder died, then swiftly passed by.

From discovering the elder to slaying the enemy, the Silver Boat had never once slowed down.

The chase continued.

And the yellow-clothed girl, who had been fleeing all this time, also saw the outcome of the battle.

The despair in her eyes deepened, tears continuously sliding down, her heart filled with regret, remorse, hatred, and fear.

She gritted her teeth and fully spurred the boat forward, escaping.

"Elder Chang, I will avenge you."

Less than ten minutes later.

The Silver Boat had already approached within a hundred meters of the Green Boat, such a distance.

Catching up was only a matter of an instant.

Bang!

The vessels collided, silver and green interweaving.

Before the girl in yellow could react, a pale hand had already crossed the space and struck her chest.

Crack crackle!

Sounds like firecrackers, the sound of shattering, came from the girl’s body.

It was the sound of bones breaking.

The intense pain made the woman wail uncontrollably, her fine features extremely distorted.

Liang Hui stood atop the ship, looking down at the woman who had collapsed on the ground.

"Now, tell me your origins and the reason for your attack," he said.

The girl looked at Liang Hui with hatred in her eyes, but she didn’t speak.

Liang Hui’s expression was indifferent as he took a step forward, a crimson light blooming in his hand.

Before long,

the youth had descended from the Green Boat and returned to the Silver Boat.

"You take control of the Silver Boat, let’s change course; the situation is clear," he instructed.

"Alright,"

Su Yao nodded.

Feeling the life force dissipate from aboard the Green Boat, she piloted the Flying Boat away into the distance.

After being away for a distance, a giant blaze rose from the Green Boat, burning all traces to ashes.

Over ten days later, Su Yao, following the guidance of the map, prepared to cross this Yellow Springs at the helm of the Flying Boat.

Meanwhile, Liang Hui was immersed in his cultivation.

Morning martial practice, noon-time cultivation, evening Body Refinement; not a moment of the day was wasted.

With abundant resources, the youth progressed swiftly, growing stronger each day.

On the fourteenth day after entering the Yellow Springs, in the early morning,

a massive island appeared within their view.

"We have arrived," Tianyuan Island."

Su Yao spoke softly, at the same time accelerating the speed of the Flying Boat.

Liang Hui also ended his cultivation, standing up and looking toward the shoreline that appeared at the end of the Yellow Springs.

Not long after, the Flying Boat drew near to the island.

The two leaped down, landing on solid ground.

Liang Hui beckoned with his arm, and the Flying Boat transformed into a streak of light, which he stored in his spatial storage.

"Another two Daoist friends have arrived, I am Luk Li from Qingfeng Hall," a youth dressed as a scholar emerged from the jungle, bearing a gentle smile.

Clearly, he had been waiting there specifically for newcomers.

A hint of puzzlement flashed through Liang Hui’s eyes; he hadn’t heard of Qingfeng Hall before, but he still responded:

"May I ask the purpose of your visit, Daoist friend?"

"Fast-spoken Daoist Brother, having crossed the Yellow Springs, you should know that if we complete just half of the Heaven-Reaching Bridge, we can directly reach the Tianyuan Sword Sect’s ruins,"

"Seeing that both of you have an exceptional demeanor, I would like to invite you to join our team, supporting each other as we step onto the Heaven-Reaching Bridge."

The scholar-dressed youth did not hide anything and pointed to the sky deep within the jungle.

Following the direction pointed out by the youth, Liang Hui raised his head to look.

A bridge reaching straight into the sky from deep within the island came into view, and despite the youth’s best efforts to see, he could not discern its end.

"Heaven-Reaching Bridge? There are indeed such aerial restrictions, truly impressive,"

Su Yao couldn’t help but admire from the side.

"Indeed impressive, the thousand-mile range of the island is wrapped in restrictions, making flight impossible,"

"Walking the Heaven-Reaching Bridge is no easy task, only by supporting each other can we better get across. What do you two think?"

Su Yao turned her gaze towards the youth; ever since they set out together, it had always been Liang Hui who made the decisions.

"Sorry, Daoist Brother, we would like to explore the island first,"

Liang Hui tapped on the hilt of his sword, taking his gaze away from the skyline and looking towards the lush jungle in front of him.
