When he burst out, Bu Ye acted purely on instinct. If reaching out could save a life, he wouldn’t stand idly by and watch someone die.

Now that he had run out and chased for so far, he didn’t want to give up halfway.

After activating the third constellation, he charged forward at a speed much faster than usual, but he still had to calculate the time when the third constellation would end.

Four seconds...

He was twenty meters away from the person being blown away.

Three seconds, sixteen meters...

It was clearly impossible to catch up, so Bu Ye gritted his teeth and forced himself to go faster!

Under this burst of speed, he became a little faster!

Two seconds, eleven meters!

One second!

Six meters!

There was only one second left, but he was still six meters away from the person. This distance was clearly not something he could cover with his current speed.

He could see that the person wasn’t dead, just seriously injured from the impact of the strong wind.

But now, he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

If he caught up, it would mean the other person was lucky; if he didn’t, he wouldn’t be too sad, after all, they were strangers.

Everyone watching from a distance saw that just when Bu Ye was about one meter away from the person, the four stars in his body, which had faintly formed a true constellation, trembled and dimmed, and his speed slowed down.

He had almost made it, but failed at the last step!

No one had expected this change.

However, not everyone was disappointed when they realized the result.

None of them were fools; they all saw that since Bu Ye had gone out to save the person, he wouldn’t give up at the last moment. Therefore, the constellation in his body dimming wasn’t intentional, but because he could only maintain it for so long.

A faint smile appeared on Lu Nan’s lips, and his heart, which had been hanging, finally relaxed.

Yang Ming turned to look at Qi Yanbin, and the two exchanged a glance, understanding each other without words.

At this moment, few people were truly saddened by the loss of a companion. Unconsciously, they had already become competitors, and the competition was a matter of life and death! The more others died, the safer they would be!

Similarly, the weaker others were, the safer they would be!

They didn’t want Bu Ye to be so strong!

When Qi Yanbin and Yang Ming exchanged glances, they were quite candid, not hiding their wariness of Bu Ye.

However, they were just wary of Bu Ye, while a few others in the crowd looked at him with even more unfriendly eyes.

If Bu Ye could see, he would find that most of these people were those who had been angered by his coldness when Qi Yanbin expressed goodwill to him in the stone room.

Bu Ye’s personality, combined with the story he told, had already destined him to be opposed by these people.

If another factor was added, that this was an environment where it was either you or me, then their opposition to Bu Ye would be even more than just enmity.

...

In the distance, after the temporary third constellation dissolved, Bu Ye’s speed immediately slowed down, and there was no hope of catching up with the person. However, inertia still made him move forward, at least another ten meters before stopping.

During this deceleration, he could only watch as the person was blown further and further away by the strong wind.

This wasn’t the result he wanted, but it was something he could accept.

At this moment, he finally felt that the red light had been following him all along. The faster he ran, the faster the red light flew, and unlike his speed, which reached its limit when he formed the third constellation, the small red light seemed to have no limit.

How fast can you fly?

Silently, the red light shot from behind Bu Ye to in front of him, leaving a trail in the air, almost like a fluorescent stick, incredibly fast!

At this moment, Bu Ye also noticed that the red light had retracted the transparent light waves and returned to its initial state when it first emerged from his mind.

This small thing clearly had two states: one was ordinary, providing only protection, and the other was emitting transparent light waves, creating a world.

Creating a world?

Bu Ye suddenly thought that in the world he and the red light had created, he seemed to be a god, and all the rules were set by him.

It was as if a lightning bolt flashed through his mind!

In the next instant, the red light vibrated violently and emitted transparent light waves again, covering an area of less than ten square meters nearby.

Then, Bu Ye watched the companion who had been blown a hundred meters away, frowned, and stomped his feet!

“Bang!!!”

Even though they were more than a mile away, Qi Yanbin and the others still heard a loud noise coming from Bu Ye’s direction!

It sounded like something was hitting the ground violently!

Then, they all stared in shock as Bu Ye, who had been decelerating a mile away, suddenly leaped into the air like a cannonball!

This leap had completely surpassed human limits, almost instantly reaching seventy to eighty meters in the air, and reaching the highest point, at least fifty meters above the ground!

What kind of power was this?

A superhero?

Then, everyone waited for Bu Ye to glide down from the highest point and make a second jump.

But it didn’t happen.

After reaching the highest point and just starting to glide down, Bu Ye’s body suddenly rose sharply in the air, then shot forward!

His arms, which had naturally risen during the jump, were now pulled back to his sides, and his entire body was in a straight line, piercing through the night sky, flying straight toward the person being blown away by the wind!

Yes, flying!

Bu Ye was now flying!

Everyone’s eyes widened as they watched this scene in shock.

The few people who were quite hostile to Bu Ye had to rub their eyes, hoping what they saw wasn’t real.

But when they put their hands down, Bu Ye was still flying!

Moreover, he had caught up with the person in just a moment, despite not being able to catch up earlier no matter how hard he tried.

Thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters...

Catch!

Everyone saw with their own eyes that Bu Ye caught the unlucky person, then drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew back.

At this moment, the sky was a turbulent sea of blue-black, with the sea surface and the ground separated by raging winds, rolling rocks, and a few silver lightning bolts hanging in the darkness...

Against this backdrop, Bu Ye brought the person back.

The scene reminded people of the moment in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" when Sun Wukong finally realized his true self, put on the golden band, and appeared at the critical moment to save Purple Fairy.

Except, the person in his arms was a man.

“Whoosh!”

About thirty meters from the crowd, Bu Ye began to slow down, but even so, his speed was still quite fast.

Amid the sound of the wind, he finally dived down, landing on the ground with the person in his arms.

He casually put down the unlucky person and met everyone’s gaze calmly.

Yang Ming, the least reserved, rushed over and asked anxiously, “What happened?”

Bu Ye didn’t hide anything and directly raised the red light in his hand, saying, “We can create a world through it, and all the rules are set by us. You can do it too.”

Yang Ming had been too shocked earlier, and his mind hadn’t processed much. Hearing Bu Ye’s words, he was suddenly enlightened.

Just then, Bu Ye added, “You can all try it.”

Before Bu Ye’s words even finished, the red light in Yang Ming’s hand shone brightly, and with a “whoosh,” she shot straight into the sky!

Seeing Yang Ming succeed, the others didn’t hesitate.

If viewed from a distance, one would see a large red cloud on the ground suddenly disperse, with one after another light shooting into the sky, looking both beautiful and awe-inspiring.

In a moment, only four people were left on the spot: Bu Ye, Qi Yanbin, Nie Ning, and the unconscious person.

Nie Ning was also trying to fly, but she didn’t rush out directly. Instead, she rose slowly from the spot, as if floating in the air. This beauty, who even had to close her eyes and imagine flying when in an elevator, was clearly in a state of “happiness coming too suddenly,” and even if she wanted to enjoy it, she would do it gradually.

When Nie Ning reached a sufficient height, Bu Ye looked at Qi Yanbin, who had been standing there all along, and asked, “Why don’t you try?”

Qi Yanbin smiled and looked straight into Bu Ye’s eyes, saying, “I want to try, of course. But I always feel that you’re not up to any good.”

Bu Ye didn’t answer directly but tempted him like a devil, saying, “But flying is really cool. You should really try it.”
