On the river that was dozens of miles long, floating ice was drifting. Hundreds of barbarians were stepping on the floating ice and moving forward. From time to time, some barbarians would fall into the river. The lucky ones could save their lives, but the unlucky ones would be killed instantly by the river water.
The seemingly ordinary floating ice river hides a deep murderous intent.
Fang Yun was alone at the back, walking alone on the ice like an ugly duckling behind a flock of swans.
The people in front couldn't see Fang Yun behind, while the monsters on the shore kept talking.
"The ice there is large and plentiful, so it's not surprising that he walks so easily. If he can walk another two miles and still be so leisurely, that would be a real talent."
"After all, he is the Moon Emperor. He should have some real abilities. Let's wait and see."
"I hope the Moon Emperor wins. After all, it's better for the human race to be the star king than the blood demon!"
Fang Yun continued to move forward. At the beginning, the floating ice was dense, and he walked as if he was strolling in a garden. After walking three miles, the floating ice on the river began to become sparse.
Fang Yun no longer walked all the time, but stepped onto a piece of floating ice, stood on the ice, and soon met another piece of floating ice, and then stepped on it, and kept changing the floating ice like this, and kept moving forward.
Soon, the monsters discovered the problem.
"Strange, why does he feel differently on the ice than others? He moves as if he knows the position and direction of every piece of ice, as if he has a route in his mind."
"Other people on the floating ice river would always stand on a piece of ice and think for a long time, or try to jump to a farther floating ice, but the distance between the two floating ice he stepped on was always just one step. Others always walked and stopped, but he often stood on the ice without moving, but I always felt that he never stopped."
"The floating ice he chose is smoother than others, and it feels very strange."
"It didn't seem like he was crossing the river, it seemed like the ice was taking the initiative to carry him across the river!"
"Yes! That's the feeling! It's like floating ice is sending him off!"
Many monsters and barbarians started shouting, even those monsters and barbarians who had previously thought that Fang Yun was not capable of doing this became excited.
Time passed slowly, Fang Yun crossed the river on the floating ice faster than everyone in front of him, and crossed the river for ten miles. He never used the running battle poem.
"This Moon Emperor doesn't seem to be using his full strength at all."
"Even floating ice rivers can't stop him."
"Look, he has already caught up with the last human. How amazing! He is worthy of being the Moon Emperor!"
Fang Yun stepped on the ice floe and passed by the ice floe where Xun Ye and Weng Ming were.
"What's going on? Wasn't he on the shore just now?" Xun Ye was startled, then turned his head to look at the shore, but didn't see Fang Yun. He looked at Fang Yun's back and rubbed his eyes. The person who just passed by was indeed Fang Yun.
Weng Ming frowned and said, "Could he be secretly watching other people's ice floe routes like us and then following them? Many ice floes don't go back and forth, and it's impossible for him to be so fast if he keeps imitating others. It seems that he has been using the sprint war poems, and he is really eager for quick success. Don't worry about him."
Xun Ye shook his head and said, "If you were like me and often came into contact with Fang Yun in the Holy Ruins, you wouldn't say such things. Let's take a closer look at him, he must have discovered some tricks."
Weng Ming nodded and cursed in a low voice: "I just said that Kong Delun told me to get out because I didn't help Long Ling when he killed Fang Yun. Others also despised me, it's really unreasonable! This is the Holy Ruins, why do they treat me like that? I don't believe that Fang Yun can compare with the three demon saints! Brother Xun, you and I have already offended Fang Yun. If he becomes the king of the stars, you and I will definitely be hated by everyone in the future!"
Xun Ye sighed lightly and stared at Fang Yun without saying a word.
After a while, the two people were stunned.
"Why do I feel like he's not looking for an ice floe to cross the river, but walking on flat ground? We were in such a mess trying to find the right ice floe to cross the river, but why does he give people the feeling of being able to move smoothly?"
"Why... does he keep walking? He should be jumping!"
Weng Ming and Xun Ye looked at each other and saw shame and annoyance in each other's eyes.
"We'll cross the river following his route!" said Weng Ming.
Xun Ye nodded vigorously.
The two immediately recalled the approximate route that Fang Yun had taken, and then continued to jump along Fang Yun's route.
After a while, Weng Ming whispered, "Humph, this Fang Yun is really good at writing poetry, and even choosing the route is so accurate. It is indeed much smoother than before. The ice ahead is a little small, I will go up first, and then you jump over."
"Yeah." Xun Ye nodded.
As Weng Ming spoke, he jumped onto a piece of floating ice that was half a meter square. Xun Ye saw that the floating ice was very stable and immediately jumped on it. Weng Ming hurriedly supported him.
"This piece of ice leads to the big piece of ice that Fang Yun has been to before. We..."
Snap!
The two looked at each other, their faces pale, and then lowered their heads together.
The white ice began to crack, and the two people slowly separated. The half of the ice under Xun Ye's feet was fine, but the ice under Weng Ming's feet was making a crisp cracking sound, and the cracks continued to spread and would soon shatter.
However, there were no floating ice nearby the two of them, and the previous piece of floating ice had already gone far away.
“Brother Xun…” Weng Ming looked at Xun Ye in despair.
Xun Ye calmly pushed Weng Ming away, and Xun Ye and the floating ice under his feet immediately moved away from Weng Ming quickly.
"I will die together with you!" Weng Ming shouted and kicked hard, trying to pounce on Xun Ye, but the ice under his feet shattered and he fell into the water. The moment he entered the water, Weng Ming used his literary power to protect his body.
"Xun Ye, save me!" Weng Ming paddled desperately towards Xun Ye, but the river water quickly devoured his literary strength.
When Xun Ye pushed Weng Ming away, he had already started reciting a poem about galloping: "The young man is riding a horse as fast as flying..."
While speaking fluently, Xun Ye looked at Weng Ming, his eyes were devoid of emotion, and even colder than the floating ice on the river.
Just as Weng Ming's hand was about to grab the ice floe and the poem was completed, Xun Ye pushed hard on half of the ice floe, and his body glided to another piece of ice floe, and the other half of the ice floe shattered.
"You..." Weng Ming grabbed a piece of broken ice, then looked at Xun Ye with endless hatred, while also quickly reciting a war poem.
However, the power released by the Galloping War Poem was swallowed up by the river water, and then Weng Ming's literary strength was exhausted.
"Xun Ye, you are so vicious! The one who killed me is Xun Ye!" Weng Ming roared to the sky with his tongue like spring thunder, and then was turned into nothingness by the river water.
The barbarians in front heard the curses and turned around, and saw Xun Ye landing on a piece of floating ice. Not far away was a human head, but in the blink of an eye, the head was dissolved by the river water.
The demons and barbarians watched the fun, but the human candidates looked at Xun Ye in disbelief.
"Alas, I thought I had seen through your true face, but I didn't expect you to be a hundred times more vicious than I imagined! Although I don't like Weng Ming targeting Fang Yun, you have already teamed up with him, but you treat him like this. Xun Ye, today I am severing my ties with you." Han Shoulu said, taking out his sword for self-defense, cutting off a corner of his robe and throwing it into the river.
Jia Jingan, who was not far away, said, "From now on, Xun Ye and I will no longer be friends! It's a pity that the Xun family's reputation has been ruined by a jerk like you."
Xun Ye was so furious. Severing ties of friendship and severing ties of favor were of great significance to the human race. Especially for a genius from a sub-sage family to be treated like this was enough to bring shame to the family.
"Don't slander me! I didn't kill him, I just saved myself! No one is allowed to be killed in the first five corridors of the Comet Corridor. If I had killed him, the stone lions would have killed me!"
At this time, a lizard barbarian who could understand human language laughed sinisterly and said, "I saw you push that man with my own eyes, of course. You might have been trying to save yourself."
Everyone immediately looked at the lizard barbarian. The barbarian's head was very similar to that of a lizard, with eyes on both sides and slightly protruding eyeballs. This made the lizard barbarian and other similar races have no blind spots and can see almost 360 degrees.
No one doubted the words of the Lizard Barbarians. Lizard Barbarians often served as scouts among the barbarians because of their special vision.
"Don't worry, Xun Ye, we will spread the story of your self-rescue outside the Holy Ruins and tell the Weng family!" Li Fanming chuckled.
Xun Ye lowered his head in anger. If he left the Holy Ruins, he would surely become notorious.
The big rabbit suddenly grabbed Li Fanming's clothes and pointed in a direction.
The big rabbit helped a lot in the process of crossing the ice river. It often explored the way and recognized several pieces of fragile ice. Although they might have been crushed by it, Li Fanming thought there was danger there and looked over immediately.
Fang Yun stood on the ice floe.
"Ah? When did you sneak up behind us? No, you are about to overtake us!" Li Fanming could not help shouting. He subconsciously looked towards the shore at the exit, which was more than ten miles away from the shore.
Fang Yun rolled his eyes at Li Fanming and said, "I came here on the ice by myself, how can that be called sneaking around?"
"You have something that is not afraid of river water? You use that thing as a paddle to paddle across the river? Otherwise it would be impossible for you to be so fast!" Li Fanming looked at Fang Yun carefully in confusion.
The other monsters looked at Fang Yun in confusion; his speed was too fast.
Yan Yukong smiled and said in a distant voice, "I saw with my own eyes that you were almost frozen into ice in the first corridor, and you walked very slowly. When you appeared in the second corridor, most of us had already passed halfway, but how come you caught up with us silently? At your speed, I'm afraid you will surpass me soon! Mo Shan, your first place is in jeopardy."
"It doesn't matter. I'm only one mile away from the other side, and he can't catch up with me!" Mo Shan said with a smile while riding on the mechanical tiger.
Li Fanming suddenly shouted: "If you jump onto the ice in front, you can come over!" and gave Fang Yun some kind advice.
Fang Yun shook his head and stood motionless on the ice.
Everyone discovered that Fang Yun did not choose the safe route they had all taken, but instead headed towards an area of water with fast currents and small icebergs.
"Forget it, let's ignore him and continue our research! I think it's better to follow Yan Yukong's path." Li Fanming said.
"I think Comte's theory is better."
Everyone was talking, glancing at Fang Yun from time to time, but suddenly they shut up because Fang Yun was having a blast!
In the area with fast-flowing water, Fang Yun kept changing the ice floes, which was dazzling. But the problem was that Fang Yun never used the fast-moving war poems occasionally like other scholars. He just took steps and refused to jump at all.
Everyone watched in confusion, and soon discovered that Fang Yun was walking and walking, and he was inexplicably drifting away! He soon surpassed most people, even Yan Yukong, and was catching up with Mo Shan.
Even the Demon Saint did not dare to go to that water area, but Fang Yun chose it, and was drifting towards the other side at an extremely fast speed.
Before everyone could react, Fang Yun arrived at the last area of water, where the ice floes were far apart, and finally began to use the Galloping War Poem.
Then, Fang Yun changed the ice floes in a way that was ten times more dazzling than before, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, sometimes left, sometimes right, and once again inexplicably found a route through the ice floes and finally landed on the other side.
Fang Yun passed through the second corridor.
At this time, Mo Shan, who was the fastest before, was still half a mile away from Fang Yun! (To be continued...)
