304: parting

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Diamond Stone's face revealed an expression of shock.

The shock this young girl brought him was truly too intense.

He had never heard of such a person, yet she could surpass him right before his eyes, completely ignoring the Foundation of those branches, her movement technique being remarkably agile.

Su Yao felt the changes in her body and a satisfied smile appeared on her face; this improvement was not just limited to her Physical Body.

Her Meridians had also been greatly strengthened. From now on, Cultivating and absorbing the immortal spirit qi between heaven and earth would become much smoother and faster.

Her speed was already Heaven-Defying enough, but now, with this layer of buff added, it was even more terrifying.

Besides gaining these benefits, a branch also appeared before Su Yao, and this branch was clearly emitting the golden aura of the Heaven Rank.

This was not a Magic Treasure, but a piece of Materials; using such Materials, one could forge an Immortal Rank Magic Treasure.

Vicious gazes immediately came from all around.

It was clear that Su Yao was now carrying a precious treasure, and since her strength was not high, everyone present wanted to snatch that branch.

As long as they had this branch, they could take it back, forge it, and with the assistance of other powerful Materials, crafting an Immortal Rank Magic Treasure would not be difficult.

Everyone present revealed extremely greedy eyes. If they could obtain this item, they could be said to soar into the sky. Whether using it for themselves or for the elders in their families, they would be heroes.

Su Yao felt these people's gazes, and then a trace of excitement appeared in her eyes.

If these people really wanted to cause trouble for her, she would just kill them all; it would be a perfect opportunity to show off her methods.

This would effectively deter others who harbored evil intentions towards her.

"What are you looking at? If you dare to look at my friend with those eyes again, I will kill you!"

Diamond Stone smashed his fists together, creating a violent sound. Everyone turned their gaze toward him and swallowed hard.

The people present hurriedly withdrew their gazes, not daring to continue looking, fearing they would be targeted by the madman before them.

This man before them had once been a very crazy existence; he had Cultivated alone on the continent for decades, solely to find the most effective way to devastate his Physical Body.

In the past, Diamond Stone had consistently used the method of devastating his own body and continuously healing it to improve his Physical Body strength. Such a method was extremely cruel; this was a ruthless person who dared to live-flay himself. Whoever dared to oppose him was simply courting death.

"Isn't doing this a bit against the rules? Although we respect your status and can choose not to oppose you, this little girl has nothing to do with you. Do you intend to protect her forever?"

Finally, a Powerhouse from a major faction spoke up, his face full of dissatisfaction.

The Taixuan Immortal Kingdom had always been the one to threaten others. Now that someone had suddenly jumped out to threaten them, he immediately felt dissatisfied. Even if the other party was a Powerhouse from an Immortal Kingdom, so what? Was he not one himself?

Diamond Stone did not argue with the other party, nor did he fight. He did not answer, but instead looked towards the base of the ancient tree.

"Blind Swordsman, that little girl is being targeted now. Are you going to do something about it?"

Upon hearing this, the Blind Swordsman was stunned for a moment, then his Sword Intent soared straight into the clouds.

"This person has done me a favor. If any of you dare to touch a single hair on her head, I will surely kill you!"

The top Powerhouses from the two great Immortal Kingdoms had spoken. No one present dared to remain there any longer.

They lowered their heads, hurriedly jumped off the ancient tree, and left immediately. Seeing this, the others scattered as well.

No one dared to continue provoking them. This little girl's background was truly terrifying for both of these top Powerhouses from the Immortal Kingdoms to be willing to back her up.

Su Yao looked at the two of them and smiled helplessly.

"Thank you both. You don't need to step in next time. If they dare to make a move on me, I'll just kill them all."

Su Yao curled her lips, but the two men mistook it for her being embarrassed.

"Young lady, do not worry. As long as we are here, none of them will be able to lay a finger on you."

Diamond Stone chuckled, a bright smile appearing on his face.

Then he slapped the Blind Swordsman beside him heavily.

"My friend here is already five hundred years old this year, and he still has not yet sought the Dao. I think you two are quite a match, a perfect fit. I wonder if you, young lady, have..."

Diamond Stone's words were interrupted sharply by Su Yao before he could finish.

"Sorry, I have no such thoughts. I am less than 200 years old this year. You are recommending such an old man to me; do you really think I'll take just anyone?"

Su Yao smiled, but her words truly caused the expressions of the two men to change drastically. Because their current Cultivation speed could be said to be among the fastest in the entire Immortal Realm, and reaching the Yuan Immortal Realm at 500 years old was simply Heaven-Defying.

They had broken through to the Yuan Immortal Realm at the age of four hundred.

Back then, they had already been Heavenly Immortal Powerhouses at the age of 300.

Yet, the Cultivation speed of the young girl before them was clearly faster than theirs.

The problem was that the method they used was the fastest in the entire Immortal Realm. How could there be another method? How could other Powerhouses be faster than them?

While the two were dumbfounded, Su Yao was already preparing to turn and leave. Both of them wanted to chase after her and ask, but after thinking for a moment, they shook their heads.

Others had their own paths to walk, and they could not keep pestering the other party. Since their fate had come to an end, there was nothing left to say.

"I didn't expect that we still wouldn't be able to ask where she came from. It seems she doesn't want to seek the Dao right now, right, Blind Swordsman?"

Diamond Stone chuckled. His previous actions were naturally based on the belief that his old friend had already been moved.

The Blind Swordsman lowered his head and remained silent. All these years, he had never been interested in anything other than his sword, but today, this young girl had piqued his great interest.

The reason was very simple: this young girl was truly too shocking to him.

The various advanced thoughts and concepts she brought, her meticulous care, and the massive amount of resources she endlessly threw at him had caused a ripple in his heart.

Previously, all the women who had approached him basically wanted to seek some benefits or obtain some resources.

But the young girl before him was different from everyone else. Not only did she help him propose more ideas, but she also threw all those resources that were mediocre to her to him.

This feeling was unprecedented for the Blind Swordsman. For a moment, he didn't know what was wrong with him, but when she left, his heart was filled with a sense of loss.

"Alright, alright, she's gone now. Maybe we'll have a chance to meet again in the future."

Diamond Stone patted the Blind Swordsman on the back.

The latter revealed a helpless, bitter smile.
