The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

Yuwen Huaji's sinister smile froze completely, replaced by extreme horror and disbelief!
He felt as if his palm had been pressed against a red-hot iron—no, even more terrifying! It felt like he had struck an incomprehensible, unshakeable absolute existence! An overwhelming, terrifying force, far beyond his comprehension, surged into his arm!

"Crack!"

The teeth-grinding sound of bones cracking could be clearly heard!

Yuwen Huaji let out a muffled groan, his face instantly turning from red to white and then to green. He felt as if he had been struck by an invisible giant hammer, uncontrollably staggering back seven or eight steps! Each step left a deep footprint in the slippery, muddy ground, the edges of which quickly frosted over! He forcibly suppressed the blood surging in his throat, his right arm hanging limply, his forearm twisted unnaturally, clearly indicating that more than one bone was broken!
Staring intently at the suddenly appearing Yi Huawei, his eyes were filled with fear, anger, and a hint of confusion—who exactly was this person?! How could he so easily break through his full-force attack?!

Fu Junzhuo's all-out sword thrust was abruptly halted by Yi Huawei's sudden appearance and Yuwen Huaji's setback. She staggered, using her sword for support to maintain her balance, breathing heavily. Looking at the gray figure before her, seemingly shielding her from all storms, her eyes were filled with a bewildered sense of relief and a deeper sense of confusion. It was him again! That enigmatic man!

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling abruptly opened their eyes, only to see Yuwen Huaji retreating in a disheveled state, his arm twisted, and a gray figure that suddenly appeared, standing like a mountain in front of their "mother." The stark contrast left their minds blank, completely unable to comprehend what had happened.

The Yuwen Clan's elite troops who had surrounded the area were also stunned by this sudden turn of events. For a moment, they forgot to move and only subconsciously gripped their weapons, looking at the man in hemp clothing who had suddenly appeared with suspicion.

The cold rain lashed against my face, and all that could be heard at the edge of the cliff was the roar of the river and the heavy breathing of the boats.

Yi Huawei slowly withdrew his hand, as if he had only done a trivial matter. He didn't even look at Yuwen Huaji, who had been knocked back and whose arm was broken. His deep, cold eyes swept indifferently over Fu Junzhuo's pale face, over the long sword she was holding tightly, and finally landed on Xu and Kou.

His gaze lingered on the two of them for a moment, calm and expressionless, yet it sent a chill down Fu Junzhuo's spine. She instinctively shifted her body slightly, trying to block his view. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling also keenly sensed the mysterious man's gaze, their alarm bells ringing.

Yi Huawei's gaze finally shifted to Yuwen Huaji, who was several feet away, his face ashen, his eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty, and he was trying to catch his breath despite the excruciating pain.

"you again."

Yi Huawei's voice rang out, devoid of any emotion, yet carrying a condescending indifference: "The Yuwen Clan... truly, they are like a persistent ghost."

Yuwen Huaji was enraged by Yi Huawei's calm yet utterly contemptuous words, but the excruciating pain in his arm and the terrifying weakness he had just experienced forced him to suppress his fury. He stared intently at Yi Huawei:
"Who exactly are you, Your Excellency?! You have repeatedly opposed my Yuwen Clan. What are your intentions?!"

He tried to intimidate people with the name of the Yuwen Clan, but his voice trembled slightly due to pain and fear.

Yi Huawei's lips seemed to twitch upwards very slightly, but it was not a smile; rather, it was an almost mocking curve.

"To oppose?"

As if he had just heard an utterly absurd word, Yi Huawei slowly shook his head, his movements carrying an indescribable elegance and coldness: "You are not worthy."

The moment the words left his mouth, Yi Huawei moved!
Without warning, without gathering power, and without even making a sound!
His figure seemed to blur for a moment, and then, in the next instant, he appeared before Yuwen Huaji like a ghost! The distance was so close that Yuwen Huaji could even see the indifference in the other's eyes, as cold as ice!

Yuwen Huaji was terrified! He had never seen such terrifying speed! He instinctively activated his Ice Profound Energy, and his remaining left palm, carrying a bone-chilling cold aura, hastily struck out while his body leaned back as far as possible, trying to create distance!

However, it was all too late!
Yi Huawei simply raised his right index finger casually. At his fingertip, a wisp of extremely faint yet condensed purple-gold energy, seemingly capable of piercing through the void, flashed by like a viper's hiss!
There was no earth-shattering sound, only a faint, sharp whistling sound, almost drowned out by the rain and the roar of the river—

"laugh!"

All of Yuwen Huaji's defensive icy energy melted instantly before that wisp of purple-gold light, like thin snow under the blazing sun! The light pierced through his brow without any hindrance!

Yuwen Huaji froze completely! His outstretched left palm stopped in mid-air, his backward-leaning body contorted into a bizarre posture. The shock, anger, and fear in his eyes froze instantly, then were quickly replaced by a deathly gray.

A tiny, almost invisible bloodstain slowly seeped from between his eyebrows, only to be washed away by the cold rain.

"Uh……"

He only managed to utter a short, unintelligible breath.

The next second, Yuwen Huaji, the top expert of the younger generation of the Yuwen clan and the powerful chief steward Yuwen, fell straight backward like a boneless dreg of mud, crashing heavily into the cold, wet mud with a "plop," splashing up a cloud of murky water. The rain quickly washed away his gradually cooling body, his unclosed eyes staring blankly at the leaden sky.

Dead!

Absolute silence enveloped the cliff!

The elite soldiers of the Yuwen clan were utterly stunned, frozen in place like statues, their faces drained of color, their eyes filled with boundless terror. They stared at Yuwen Huaji's corpse on the ground, then at the gray figure still standing there, seemingly unmoved, their hands gripping their swords trembling like leaves. The Grand Steward… just like that, dead? Killed by that man… with a single finger?!

Fu Junzhuo gasped, seemingly forgetting the excruciating pain in her ribs. She knew this person was strong, but to be this strong, to so effortlessly annihilate Yuwen Huaji with a single finger… this was beyond her wildest imagination! In the fleeting moment of that purple-gold aura, she felt a pure, extreme destruction and sharpness that made her very soul tremble!
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were completely petrified, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit eggs. They stared at Yuwen Huaji's corpse, then at Yi Huawei, their minds blank. That terrifying master who had chased them relentlessly, a nightmare they couldn't escape... was he... dead?
Yi Huawei slowly withdrew his finger, the wisp of purple-gold light at his fingertip vanishing without a trace. It was as if he had merely flicked away a tiny speck of dust. He didn't even glance at Yuwen Huaji's corpse, his gaze shifting back to Fu Junzhuo and the two terrified boys behind her, finally settling on the long, oilcloth-wrapped bamboo tube behind her.

His gaze remained indifferent, but beneath that calm, Fu Junzhuo sensed an undeniable will that was even more terrifying than Yuwen Huaji's.

"Give me the stuff."

Yi Huawei's voice was calm and unremarkable, yet it carried a heavy pressure, like a mountain collapsing, clearly piercing through the rain and landing on Fu Junzhuo's heart. This was not a request, but a declaration.

Fu Junzhuo's body trembled violently, and she subconsciously took a step back, shielding Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling even more tightly behind her. Her right hand gripped the longsword tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force. Her eyes were filled with struggle, fear, and a hint of determination.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling also felt immense pressure. Although they were afraid, they stepped forward at the same time to stand in front of Fu Junzhuo. Kou Zhong raised his short blade, and Xu Ziling clenched his fists, even though their bodies trembled uncontrollably under Yi Huawei's invisible pressure.

Yi Huawei watched their tense expressions, his eyes unwavering, as if watching a few ants waving their antennae in vain. He said nothing more, simply standing there silently. The cold rain slid off him. An invisible, almost tangible pressure emanated from him, making the surrounding air seem thick and heavy. The Yuwen Clan soldiers, already terrified, felt their legs go weak under this pressure, almost collapsing to their knees.

Time passed in a suffocating silence, with only the sounds of rain and the river's roar remaining.

Finally, Yi Huawei frowned slightly, seemingly growing impatient with this pointless stalemate. He slowly took a step forward.

Just one step!
"boom!"

An invisible wave of energy suddenly spread out from the point where he landed! The mud, pebbles, and fallen leaves on the ground were pushed aside as if by an invisible hand, forming a clear circle! Several Yuwen Clan soldiers who were slightly closer were directly blown away by this wave of energy, screaming and rolling on the ground!

Fu Junzhuo groaned, feeling as if she had been struck in the chest with a heavy hammer. Her already severely injured body swayed precariously, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were directly forced to the ground by this overwhelming force, unable to move!

Yi Huawei's gaze, as cold as ice, passed over the struggling Fu Junzhuo and landed on Xu and Kou. His voice was colder and more piercing than the autumn rain:
"Hand it over, or die!"

An invisible pressure, like a tangible mountain, pinned Fu Junzhuo to the spot, every bone in her body groaning. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were pressed down into the cold mud, unable to move even a finger, helplessly experiencing the overwhelming fear. The remnants of the Yuwen clan were already terrified, lying limp on the ground, excrement and urine flowing freely, the stench of the filth mingling with the earthy smell of the rain, adding to their despair.

Fu Junzhuo's vision blurred with excruciating pain and oppressive force. She could only see the figure in gray hemp robes approaching step by step, like a demon from the abyss. Her teeth clenched, a thin line of blood trickling from her lips. Her hand gripping the sword trembled as she tried to raise it, even if it was just a token resistance!

However, just as Yi Huawei was about to take his second step and completely crush all her will to resist, he suddenly stopped!
For the first time, those eyes, as indifferent as eternal ice, showed a violent fluctuation! It wasn't anger, nor surprise, but a deep-seated, chilling vigilance and... disgust, as if encountering a natural enemy.

He suddenly looked up at the leaden sky, where the rain curtain hung low!

What had been a dark and heavy cloud layer was now gathering and spinning wildly at an illogical speed! Right above his head, a huge vortex, as black as ink and with eerie purple light flashing at its edges, was forming!
At the center of the vortex, the muffled thunder was no longer a background accompaniment, but transformed into a furious roar of heaven and earth, carrying a locked, destructive will! The gale suddenly intensified, and the raindrops whipped up stung our faces like hail, while the roar of the river below the cliff seemed to be suppressed by this terrifying power of heaven and earth.

"Damn it! It's you again!"

Yi Huawei growled, his voice filled with unprecedented solemnity and an extreme impatience, like being repeatedly harassed by flies! He was all too familiar with this feeling! When he forcibly erased Yi Xiaochuan in the world of "Myth," it was this terrifying will of being rejected, locked in, and wanted to be eliminated by the entire world! Only this time, it came faster, more directly, and more violently!

Almost the instant his words fell!
"Snap—!!!"

An indescribably thick and dazzling purple lightning bolt, like a spear of judgment tearing through the sky, with the majestic power to destroy everything, struck down with perfect precision from the center of that dark vortex!

The target was the tiny gray figure on the cliff edge! The air was instantly ionized, emitting a piercing shriek. Before the thunder even arrived, the violent electromagnetic and destructive aura had already made everyone present's hair stand on end and their hearts stop!
Yi Huawei's eyes flashed with a burst of purple-gold light! An unprecedented sense of crisis made him instantly abandon all pressure on outsiders, and he pushed the Hunyuan Gong to its unprecedented limit! The vast true essence within his body, which had been flowing as sluggishly as a swamp, was forcibly ignited and squeezed out at this moment! A layer of condensed, solid purple-gold aura, like glass, instantly rose from his body, enveloping his entire body!

He didn't dodge! There was nowhere to hide! This was a targeted strike from the will of Heaven in this realm!
He thrust both palms upwards! Purple-gold energy condensed between his ten fingers like a tangible spear, fiercely meeting the world-destroying purple lightning! The movement carried an earth-shattering determination and indomitable spirit.

"Boom——!!!"

A deafening roar completely drowned out all other sounds! Blinding purple and golden light collided violently in mid-air! The burst of intense light instantly eclipsed the world, as if a purple sun had exploded on the edge of a cliff! A terrifying shockwave spread out in a ring!

"puff--!"

Fu Junzhuo was the first to be hit, as if struck head-on by an invisible giant hammer. Blood gushed out, and she was thrown back violently, crashing heavily into the gnarled old pine tree behind her. The tree trunk shook violently, and leaves flew everywhere. Her vision went black, and it felt as if her internal organs had shifted.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were thrown several meters away by the shockwave, rolling into the mud, bleeding from their mouths and noses, and instantly losing consciousness.

The remnants of the Yuwen Clan were even closer, and before they could even scream, they were vaporized and carbonized in the intense light and impact, turning into ashes, just like candles thrown into a furnace!

The first bolt of purple lightning was barely blocked by the purple-gold aura that Yi Huawei pushed out with his palms, but how could ordinary power withstand such majestic heavenly might? The aura trembled violently, and after only a brief stalemate, it shattered with a deafening roar.

"puff!"

Yi Huawei was struck as if by lightning, his whole body trembled violently, and he spat out a mouthful of scalding golden blood, which was instantly evaporated by the raging lightning and fire! The hard cliff beneath his feet cracked and collapsed inch by inch!
Before he could even catch his breath!

"Snap! Snap! Snap!!"

Within the dark vortex, three more equally thick, even more violent, purple lightning bolts, like three enraged purple lightning dragons, tore through the sky one after the other, once again precisely striking the same target!
The wrath of Heaven is like a prison; there will be no end to it!
For the first time, a look of madness appeared in Yi Huawei's eyes! He let out a low growl that was not human, his muscles bulged, and his veins protruded under his skin like writhing dragons! He forcibly squeezed his almost depleted dantian, even burning the primordial essence blood that had been tempered by a century of imperial fortune! The purple-gold aura on his body rose again, but its color was noticeably dimmer, like a candle flickering in the wind!

He no longer confronted the lightning head-on. The moment the lightning struck, his figure transformed into a blurry afterimage, attempting to evade it with a speed exceeding the limits!

However, how can speed break free from the lock of Heaven's will?

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three bolts of purple lightning, like maggots clinging to his bones, instantly caught up with his afterimage and struck down fiercely!
The blinding purple light engulfed everything once more! This time, there was no stalemate!

"Ugh—!"

A suppressed, agonizing roar faintly echoed amidst the thunderous explosion!
The purple light dissipated, and the lingering thunder echoed through the canyon, shaking people to their core.
