Shi Yan gave his black sword a gentle swing. To everyone else, it looked very slow, but to Shi Wei, that sword had already slashed at least a few hundred times. A sudden black gale rose out of nowhere around Shi Yan, quickly swallowing the entire stone platform and kicking up a whirlwind that blinded everyone present. One of the elders panicked; judging by the sheer shockwaves of this combat, it had already escalated far beyond anything he could possibly intervene in. Just as he was about to go look for other elders, he felt a weight press down on his shoulder. He turned his head and finally let out a sigh of relief.

The gale howled, relentlessly battering Shi Wei upon the platform. At this moment, Shi Wei looked like a solitary leaf of a boat on a vast, stormy sea, swaying this way and that under the buffeting winds.

Shi Yan had already vanished, but—
