The Divine Sword Acknowledges Its Master
Liu Qingqing pursed her lips tightly, used the Myriad Filth Tainted Blood to envelop the three of them with Blood Escape, and then sped away as a red light.
On the other side, the "Barbarian King" stood frozen in place for a moment, then suddenly looked up and let out a shrill scream. The scream was terrifying and horrifying, piercing straight to the soul. It was like a sonata of screams from all the sinful ghosts in the eighteen hells of hell, suffering torture. Even Gods and Devils would tremble at the sound of it. The surrounding space was distorted, and ripples spread out in circles.
At the same time, a dazzling sword light emanated from his head, sacred and pure, piercing straight into the sky, sweeping away the dark clouds within a hundred miles and blocking all evil influences.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
Eagle King and the others cautiously stepped forward to inquire.
The "Barbarian King" lowered his head, one hand covering his face, his body trembling uncontrollably as if enduring immense pain. In a hoarse, low voice, he said, "Crocodile King, stay behind. The rest of you, go after him immediately. Mad Ink's injuries are more severe than mine; he must be incapacitated. Furthermore, Ju Beichen is dead. There is no one here who can rival you. You must catch up with him, kill him, and bring his head back to me!"
Apart from the short old man, the others looked tense and agreed in unison. Then, not daring to linger, they turned around and used their internal energy to chase after him, fleeing as if their lives depended on it.
After a long while, the "Barbarian King" finally stopped trembling. When he moved his hand away, his face was split in two by a sword wound, which looked particularly frightening. Even though he had forced out the Sword Qi, he still could not heal the wound.
"As expected of the number one sword of slaughter and destruction in all the heavens, it actually managed to injure my physical body through the connection of my divided spirit. Just how many supreme Swordsmanship does this kid know? Even if an ordinary person dedicates their entire life to mastering just one supreme Swordsmanship, it would be difficult to achieve this. Yet every Swordsmanship he uses has reached its pinnacle. Logically speaking, even if he were a genius, it would be impossible for him to achieve this even if he started practicing from the womb... Could he be the reincarnation of a sword saint?"
The Crocodile King stood to one side like a statue, without uttering a word.
"I was too careless and underestimated the heroes of the world. I should have waited until I had absorbed enough Jing Essence and recovered my cultivation to the Dao Integration Realm before taking action... Hmm, I need to find a place to hide first and wait until I've recovered my strength to its peak before emerging again. Those meddlesome Mohist School family members will definitely be searching for me all over the place. I must be extremely careful to avoid encountering another monster like Mad Ink."
After flying a hundred miles with Si Ming and Liu Yongzhan, Liu Qingqing sensed four powerful auras rapidly approaching from behind.
Blood Escape Technique is a famous escape technique known for its speed and stealth. However, such techniques are always self-cast, not used on others. If Liu Qingqing were alone, she could easily shake off her pursuers. But carrying two people would violate the taboo of "carrying someone is like carrying a mountain," greatly reducing her efficiency.
Although they only clashed briefly, Liu Qingqing knew that all four pursuers were Peak Spirit Transformation cultivators. She could barely hold off one of them with the help of the Myriad Filth Tainted Blood, but she had no chance against all four.
"Put me down," Liu Yongzhan suddenly said.
"Although my strength is no match for yours, I can still hold them off for a while if I risk my life."
Liu Qingqing's expression was solemn. She glanced at the unconscious Si Ming, her expression hesitant.
"Mad Ink has helped us a great deal, including this trip where he fell into the enemy's trap while trying to confirm the Grand Tutor's fate. The so-called 'repayment of kindness' can't just remain lip service. If I receive kindness but only care about surviving, even if I survive this trip, I will never have the face to see him again in my life."
Liu Yongzhan was a stranger to Liu Qingqing, and morality was insignificant compared to Si Ming's life. Liu Qingqing never considered herself a Mohist with a heart full of love, incapable of sacrificing her loved ones for the sake of benevolence and righteousness. So she quickly made her decision.
Just as Liu Qingqing was about to let go, a Sword Qi and a saber suddenly appeared from the sky. It was Murong Qing and Ying Zhou who had arrived late. The two of them intercepted the Eagle King and the Egret King respectively.
Liu Qingqing paused for a moment, thought for a second, and then decisively handed Si Ming over to Liu Yongzhan, saying, "Take him with you and go quickly!" Then she went to meet the remaining two enemies.
Although Liu Qingqing could continue to escape with Si Ming, it would be pointless. With Murong Qing and Ying Zhou's strength, stopping the two of them was already their limit. The other two could still continue to pursue them, and the situation would not change at all. Rather than that, it would be better for her to stay behind and block the enemy, doing what she could to slow them down.
Liu Yongzhan's face flushed red with shame, but as a general, he possessed the foresight to assess the situation and knew this was the best course of action. He immediately declared, "Even if I die, I will protect Mad Ink!"
After saying that, she used her remaining left arm to grab Si Ming and turned to run away.
Liu Qingqing took a deep breath, multitasking, using her blood-stained clone to block the Scorpion King, then nocking the bowstring and aiming at the last female Barbarian Hu.
"Jupiter Arrow - All Things Flourish!"
As soon as the emerald green arrow was released, countless branches immediately sprouted, forming a net that descended from the sky.
"A mere trick; you think you can stop me with such a paltry skill?"
It wasn't just the female Barbarian Hu who uttered these words; the Eagle King and the Crane King also easily defeated and repelled Murong Qing and Ying Zhou, because the difference in their cultivation levels was too great.
With their Peak Spirit Transformation cultivation combined with the protection of the Triple Heavenly Silkworm Force, they were enough to become the best among Spirit Transformation Grandmaster. The fact that Si Ming was able to fight five opponents while injured and still gain the upper hand does not mean that they are weak. On the contrary, considering only the area of the Sea Continent, the strength of the five of them is enough to rank in the top twenty.
Although Murong Qing and Ying Zhou possessed the beauty of dragons and phoenixes, they could not make up for the gap in cultivation. After only three moves, they were injured by their opponent's Internal Cultivation.
Chapter 905 The Divine Sword Recognizes Its Master
"The Devil Tribulations in Their Thousands Deliver the Tathagata!"
"Stars sway, the moon shines alone, a thousand mountains cast shadows!"
After several exchanges, Ying Zhou and Murong Qing were forced to use their ultimate moves. Murong Qing soared into the air, a flawless full moon appearing behind her. Countless icy clones flew out with swords, freezing their targets upon impact. Meanwhile, Ying Zhou manifested the Asura Wrathful Form, wielding a massive blade of energy that slashed down from the sky.
"The Azure Eagle Strikes Upward, Overturning the Dawn!"
The Eagle King turned into a colossal eagle that blotted out the sky, swooping down with a torrent of malevolent Vicious Qi like a torrential downpour. Its wings whipped up countless rocks, turning them into hailstones that bombarded the area.
It must be admitted that apart from Chidahu, a genius who could absorb all the unique skills of various schools and refine them, the rest of the Barbarian Race were somewhat crude in martial arts. The Eagle King, with his Peak Spirit Transformation, Foundation that exceeded the sum of Murong Qing and Ying Zhou, yet he was suppressed when they competed in a contest of ultimate moves.
The giant eagle was first frozen by the Murong Qing, its Spiritual Qi circulation was sluggish, and its weakness was exposed. Then it was cut down by the Asura Wrathful Form. The injured and bleeding Eagle King fell straight down from mid-air. If it were not for the protection of the triple Heavenly Silkworm Force, it would have been seriously injured.
If it were two against one, Murong Qing and Ying Zhou could press their advantage and turn the tide. But now it's two against two. Although the Eagle King was defeated, the Vulture King was not seriously injured. He even took advantage of the backlash from the two's ultimate moves to launch a sneak attack and severely injured them with the Martyrdom Says Hand.
"Eagle King, you actually got injured by two juniors! You've completely disgraced everyone!" The Vulture King didn't forget to mock his companion.
Eagle King snorted coldly, circulating his internal energy to dispel the hidden force within his body, and said, "His Majesty's mission is to kill Mad Ink. Staying here to entangle with others is pointless. Even if we kill these two in the end, but Mad Ink escapes, do you think His Majesty will be satisfied?"
So what you mean is...?
"I'll leave these two to you. I'm going to hunt down Mad Ink."
After saying this, before the Vulture King could react, the Eagle King turned and flew away. Murong Wu and Ying Zhou were hampered by their injuries and could not stop him in time. They could only watch him leave.
On the other side, Liu Qingqing tried her best but only managed to stop the female warrior. After a brief exchange, the Scorpion King easily broke free from her grasp and sped off in the direction Liu Yongzhan had fled.
"Find a place to hide Mad Ink, and I'll run in another direction to lure the pursuers away... No, even though Mad Ink is seriously injured, his vital energy is still surging like the sea, he can't fool anyone, and he can't conceal his aura while unconscious."
As Liu Yongzhan fled, he pondered how to shake off his pursuers, but he rejected each of these methods. With his arm severed and Si Ming unconscious, the methods he could use were too limited, and each one carried a great deal of risk, making it unacceptable for him to take a gamble.
