Chapter 1900 Injured

Ryu took a breath and the entire world seemed to revolve around him. [Third Perspective] activated, and it felt like he was watching the world from the skies above, with his own body becoming a faint extension of those senses.

His gaze flashed and his Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Pupils activated.

"Spread your wings and soar..." Ryu spoke softly.

QIIIIII!

The cry of a phoenix echoed, and before its shadow could be clearly seen, Ryu had suddenly moved, his great swordstaffs swinging down with a mighty momentum.

A white phoenix spread its wings and soared into the skies, all the qi in the region seemingly being ripped into Ryu's control. ...

"What are those weapons? I've never seen them before."

"A sword and a polearm? It looks like a blacksmith used too much material on a glaive. What kind of weapon is that? How can they even be wielded properly?"

This world had simply never seen great swordstaffs. Even in Sacrum, they had been fringe weapons that almost no one used. Most there wouldn't even be familiar with them, let alone those in this world.

In truth, they were even more shocked by the audacity of Ryu to attack first against the master of control. But then they understood that he likely had no idea who this woman was. Of course, he would make such a mistake. He wouldn't be as clear about the strengths and weaknesses of their best.

Even so, many felt that it was ridiculous that he had actually chosen to attack someone two cultivation realms above him. Did he believe that Emerald Vine was a simple target or something?

There were those, though, who couldn't help but react differently... especially Star River, who had just appeared high in the skies above.

Nature exploded along with her battle intent and the grass on the ground twisted and rose up, shooting toward Ryu with blinding speed.

They restricted his movements perfectly, several flying toward his arm and several more moving to carry her away.

A small little green soul appeared on Emerald Vine's forehead. Its little arms moved like lightning, completing hand seal after hand seal.

With a glance, Ryu could see through it. These hand seals were each commanding small, minor changes to the world around them. It was a magnificent technique and it was interlaced with her Dao so perfectly that they practically seemed synonymous.

"That makes things even easier," Ryu said lightly.

Emerald Vine's expression suddenly changed as she realized her vines actually weren't going to make it there in time. She looked toward where Ryu's foot was, realizing that he had imbalanced the Feng Shui in the region with a single violent stomp... or so it seemed.

In reality, he had sent a strong pulse of Ice Qi downward, controlling a spiraling swirl that froze the root systems in the region. Yet, his power was so perfectly controlled that it didn't even feel cold.

The hand seals came to a stop and the small green figure slammed its hands together. At that moment, Emerald Vine activated a movement technique, vanishing into a swirl of green leaves.

Ryu's blade passed right through and the world was left in silence.

...

On the outside, the group didn't believe what they were watching. At first, they sneered at Ryu's attempt, but then they saw something they never thought they would see.

Emerald Vine slowly raised a finger to her neck, touching the blood that appeared.

The queen of control had actually been injured.
