The people around Li Yun slowly disappeared, but he noticed none of them. He was not in despair, however, and he was not doubting himself. His mind was entirely taken up by one sentence, the words the Verdant Sword Sage had spoken: "Speed alone can't beat me."
Li Yun went over those words again and again. The path Yuan Zhenhai had suggested was not wrong. As long as Li Yun had not comprehended the Temporal Dao himself, overwhelming speed was still his best chance of defeating the third-floor guardian.
The problem was that speed alone was incomplete. Even if he could attack before the Verdant Sword Sage swung his sword, his attack still had to enter the Temporal Domain, and the moment it crossed into that area, it stopped.
That meant Li Yun needed two things. He needed enough speed to act before the guardian could attack, and he also needed a way to break through the Temporal Domain.
'But how?' Li Yun frowned. 'What can break a domain that freezes time?'
