I will burn books and slay gods.

When Chen Ye and Huang looked up and met the gaze of the statue, their hearts skipped a beat!

Chen Ye swallowed hard, his eyes trembling as he glanced at Huang, and asked in a trembling voice, "Senior Huang, what should we do next?"

Before Chen Ye could finish speaking, he was shocked to see Huang vanish in an instant. "I'm... speechless. Senior Huang, you're... a real jerk!"

Chen Ye was genuinely angry, but at this moment, the one truly in danger was Chen Ye himself.

Chen Ye raised his head slightly in fear, only to see the same indescribable horror: the statue with a terrifying smile on its lips!

Almost instantly, Chen Ye's adrenaline surged, and he leaped down from the high stone steps once again.

Seeing that Chen Ye wanted to escape, the statue slowly raised its hands and pressed them against the walls on both sides. Stone fragments crumbled and fell, each of which was several times the size of Chen Ye!

"Senior Huang! Senior Huang!" Chen Ye called out anxiously, "Can you give me an answer? What should we do next?"

Chen Ye kept calling Huang's name, but for some reason, Huang still didn't give any response.

Then, Chen Ye stopped trying to flee in such a panic. In an instant, Chen Ye turned his whole body around and looked up at the huge statue!

"Qingrui, help me!"

With a thought, Chen Ye tore through space with his right hand, then reached into the space and forcefully pulled out the contract!

The moment it was pulled out, with a casual wave of the hand, it was as if the Starry Book was embedded in front of him.

Chen Ye quickly flipped through the pages of the Starry Book in front of him until he reached the first page and saw that familiar cyan rune again!

"Qingrui, let's go!" Chen Ye shouted loudly, "Watch me smash this statue in front of me!"

At this moment, under Chen Ye's control, Qingrui transformed from the cyan runes of the Starry Book back into the same scene as before. Chen Ye appeared to be wearing a cyan concept, but he was no longer dressed in red as before.

But Chen Ye didn't think much of it. Instead, he gripped the two cyan curved daggers tightly in both hands. The moment he gripped the daggers, Chen Ye's eyes seemed to turn into those of a hunter, aiming at the prey in front of him.

The surrounding rocks fell from the stone walls on both sides, but this did not affect Chen Ye at all.

At this moment, Chen Ye's legs were slightly bent, his body was at a 75-degree angle, and his eyes were fixed on the terrifying statue.

With the force gathered in Chen Ye's legs, his body shot out like a pebble launched from a slingshot!

Seeing Chen Ye in this state, the statue, now bracing itself against the wall with both hands, managed to stand up, its gaze fixed on Chen Ye, who was flying towards it like a shooting star.

The statue stretched out its arms in front of him, trying to block Chen Ye's path.

Chen Ye, witnessing this scene, scoffed, "And you dare to obstruct me like this!"

Take this: "Autumn Waters Severing Clouds!"

The dagger slashed horizontally, and the tip of the blade flowed with a gentle, shimmering water.

The air currents three zhang ahead split open neatly like silk, and the edges of the cracks reflected the shimmering illusion of an autumn pool.

The "cut-off" air briefly maintained a rift, allowing the opposite scenery to ripple slightly, as if separated by clear waves.

A moment later, the fault closed, producing a long, resonant sound like a stone thrown into a deep pool.

As they were released, the two curved daggers poured forth like autumn water, their blades cutting through the air like clouds being silently slicing apart, creating a shimmering, chilling effect.

Almost instantly, shimmering blue ripples appeared on the statue's two arms; they were not chaotic, but elegant.

The "X" shaped slash instantly sliced ​​through the two stone arms!

The statue that witnessed this scene seemed to be in a daze for a moment, and its pupils showed a look of shock.

As Chen Ye severed both arms, he leaped through the air on the shattered stones, and faintly heard the stone statue seem to be telling something, weak and intermittent.

"Is it him...? The person we... have been waiting for... I saw him... Qingrui."

Chen Ye suddenly turned his head, stopping his leap mid-air, because he heard a familiar name: "Qing Rui".

Chen Ye's gaze began to search for the source of the sound, his eyes darting around.

In an instant, Chen Ye locked his gaze on a certain spot, which was the other stone statues located on either side of the stone statue that he had seen when he was examining the text in Huang.

As mentioned before, the stone statues come in all shapes and sizes; some are familiar to us, while others are new to us.

At first, Chen Ye thought that it must not be a product of his world.

If one were to examine them more closely at this moment, it would be quite obvious that behind those strange stone statues, there were some familiar forms, which were animals from their own world.

However, these were not the main issues. What shocked Chen Ye was that among these stone statues, there were some that could talk, or rather, some that were alive.

After Chen Ye stood on the wall hanging on one side of the stone statue, he stared intently at the statue in front of him and asked loudly, "Who just uttered the name 'Qingrui'? Step forward now, and I'll forgive your rudeness."

After Chen Ye finished speaking, a short while passed, but no one stepped out from among the many stone statues.

"What? You think I'm easy to talk to, is that it?" Chen Ye said with a helpless self-deprecating laugh. "Or are you all just not giving me face?"

Just as Chen Ye finished speaking, a dull thud was heard. It was the sound of the stone statue on his left side being cut in two by Chen Ye with Qingrui and falling to the ground.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was enough to make the living stone statues that hadn't stepped forward tremble with fear!

At this moment, Chen Ye remained calm and composed. He took a light step forward and then swiftly cleaved a stone statue in two with a single stroke of his knife. However, Chen Ye could sense that these stone statues were merely pure stone statues.

Just then, the giant stone statue whose arm Chen Ye had severed began to reassemble its arm and slam it down on him.

At this moment, Chen Ye calmly observed the scene before him, his eyes tightly closed, and softly asked, "Can't you just leave me alone?"

"Azure Mist Cuts the Moon".

Originally, Chen Ye did not want to do this; he only wanted to find the living stone statue that uttered the name Qingrui.

Since they know this name, they should know more information to answer their questions. As for the stone statue that raises its stone hand to fan itself, it is probably just a puppet.

Since that's the case, Chen Ye can only be used as a warning to others, which can be considered killing two birds with one stone.

Then Chen Ye slightly turned his body, and the dagger rose in an arc of light from bottom to top.

Where the blade passed, the air condensed into a pale blue mist, and then a crescent-shaped streak of light bloomed in the mist, slowly rotating and dissipating.

Where the moonlight shines, dewdrops condense into frost crystals, and grass blades are draped in a hazy silver edge, as if stealing a moment of the moonlight before letting it shatter in the morning breeze.

Chen Ye immediately drew his sword, the blade shimmering with a pale blue light, like moonlit mist solidified into a tangible form, leaving a crescent-shaped trail as it sliced ​​through the air.

Before the stone statue could react, it discovered that its entire massive body had been cleaved in two again by a flurry of blades, turning into hundreds of pieces of stone that were scattered everywhere.

Then Chen Ye stood on the wall again, very quiet, so quiet that the only sound around him was the clanging of pebbles falling to the ground.

Just then, a sound came from Chen Ye's left. It was the sound of someone breathing in shock and surprise upon seeing this scene. "Wow, that's amazing. My Azure Puppet."

Almost instantly, Chen Ye flung out his dagger and hurled it fiercely at the source of the sound!

The living stone statue, its trembling body standing still in this thrilling scene, dared not move.

"Holy crap! Is it really that accurate?" The living statue glanced at the blue curved dagger beside him, then knelt before Chen Ye, pleading, "My lord, spare my life!"

Chen Ye discovered that the living stone statue in front of him was kneeling down, begging him to let him go.

Standing before the stone statue, Chen Ye felt a strange mix of emotions, simply because this living stone statue was far too large.

Compared to the Azure Puppet statue that Chen Ye had just shattered, this one was only about twice the size of Chen Ye's body.

When Chen Ye stood before the living stone statue, he asked, "What's your name?"

"My lord, you may call me by my childhood name, Qingqing," the living stone statue then added, "or you may call me by my full name, Tianqing!"
