A Sword Strike Slays Luo Qiuming

Several hours later.

Just as Ling Pengyun rode the Immortal Spirit Crane King, leaving Tu Yuan Market Town and flying for nearly two thousand miles, only a little over a thousand miles away from returning to the Rock Scale Snake Den.

Suddenly, he noticed a small black dot in the sky several miles ahead, flying rapidly toward him.

Upon seeing this scene, Ling Pengyun's expression changed.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Ling Pengyun used the Aura Observation Technique to enhance his vision, and he could clearly see the black dot flying rapidly from several miles away.

The dark figure was a cultivator who controlled a flying boat. This cultivator was Luo Qiuming, whose three Lifebound Array Flag were destroyed by Ling Pengyun during the Martial Duel at the Sand Soil Mine two years ago.

At the same time, Ling Pengyun also noticed that a cultivator who controlled a flying boat was chasing after him from several miles behind.

The cultivator who came after them was Luo Qiuming's father, Luo Minghui, the Clan Head of the Falling Dusk Luo Clan, who had the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.

Upon seeing the two people appear simultaneously from the front and back, Ling Pengyun frowned deeply, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

Ling Pengyun had no idea that it was a coincidence that Luo Qiuming and Luo Minghui were blocking his only way and following behind him.

He was not afraid of Luo Qiuming, who was only at the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage. With his strength, he could kill Luo Qiuming in a one-on-one fight without any problem, after all, his cultivation level was there.

However, Luo Minghui, who was chasing after them, was a veteran Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer cultivator with numerous methods.

Several years ago, during Martial Duel at the Sand Soil Mine, Ling Clan Ling Yunhong, the strongest member of the Ling family at the time, almost died at the hands of this person after only a hundred moves.

Clearly, this person possesses exceptional combat skills.

Ling Pengyun glanced at the flying boat controlled by Luo Minghui, Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer expert who was chasing after him.

When they realized that the flying boat under Luo Minghui's feet Second Grade Middle Rank rank.

His chances of escaping had diminished considerably.

If Second Grade Middle Rank flying boat were to fly at full speed, it could travel 60,000 li a day, which is twice the speed of the Immortal Spirit Crane King that Ling Pengyun was riding.

Under these circumstances, no matter how Ling Pengyun tries to escape, he will probably be caught up by Luo Minghui behind him before long.

Moreover, there's Luo Qiuming, that roadblock, ahead of us.

There's no escaping it now.

With his thoughts returning to normal, Ling Pengyun immediately took out a token engraved with the character "Yan" from his Storage Bag and crushed it.

This token was given to Ling Pengyun by Zhang Yan, the deputy Hall Master of the Hundred Spirits Sect's Hall of Affairs Rock Scale Snake Den, when Yuan Province was first developed three years ago.

He also instructed Ling Pengyun that if he encountered danger, he could crush this object.

"Now, let's see if Senior Zhang Yan will come as soon as possible for the sake of Si Ling." After a light sigh, Ling Pengyun looked at Luo Qiuming, who was piloting a Second Rank Low Grade flying boat several miles ahead, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

"I narrowly escaped death in today's battle. If Senior Zhang Yan had not arrived in time, I fear I would have perished here."

"Without me, the Lineage's strength will be greatly reduced."

"In future conflicts between the Lineage and the Luo Clan, we will be at a disadvantage."

"No matter what, we must take the life of Luo Qiuming, who Foundation Establishment Third Layer, to weaken the overall strength of the Luo Clan, and at the same time, take someone down with us."

Thinking this way, the fierce light in Ling Pengyun's eyes intensified.

He quickly waved his hand and patted the Storage Bag at his waist, summoning two Law Artifact in succession: the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords and the Eighteen Azure Spirit Sword.

As soon as the three Law Artifact were taken out, Ling Pengyun infused them with spiritual power.

The two swords, Qinggang Mother and Child, each emitted a six-zhang (approximately 33 meters) Sword-Ray from their tips.

The eighteen Azure Spirit Sword quickly formed Sword Formation, which then transformed into the Melt Word Sword Formation, becoming a five-zhang-long Sword-Ray.

At the same time, Ling Pengyun Hand Seals, condensing a special blue Law Seals covered with Sword-Ray.

The blue Law Seals spun rapidly, flashed with blue light, and transformed directly into a ten-zhang-long blue Sword-Ray.

As the ten-zhang Sword-Ray took shape, the Immortal Spirit Crane King he was riding flew several miles again, getting about one or two miles closer to Luo Qiuming, who was controlling the flying boat in front.

This area is within the range that Ling Pengyun's Divine Sense can cover, and it is also the range that can be attacked.

"Die!"

Ling Pengyun roared and unleashed three attacks— the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords, the Melt Word Sword Formation, and a ten-zhang-long blue Sword-Ray —directly striking Luo Qiuming ahead.

At the same time, he gently patted the Immortal Spirit Crane King Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, as he sat down.

Although there was no Recognition of Ownership Restriction between the Immortal Spirit Crane King and Ling Pengyun, they had guarded the Rock Scale Snake Den together for many years. Even without the Recognition of Ownership Restriction, they could understand each other's intentions.

With a cry, the Immortal Spirit Crane King spread its wings, and a fierce gale accompanied by more than two hundred feathered arrows appeared in the void.

In the blink of an eye, a combined Law Technique, Feather Arrow Cyclone Qi, was formed and swiftly shot towards Luo Qiuming.

One mile away.

Seeing that Ling Pengyun's first move was a killing blow, and that the Feather Arrow Cyclone Qi of the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Immortal Spirit Crane King was not weak, Luo Qiuming, who was acting as an obstacle, inadvertently revealed a trace of fear in his expression.

However, this fear quickly dissipated into the smoke, and a look of hatred appeared on his face.

Two years ago, during the battle Martial Duel the Sand Soil Mine, three of his Lifebound Array Flag were destroyed by Ling Pengyun.

The Luo Clan spent a considerable amount of money to repair the three missing battle flags.

Even so, the three Lifebound Array Flag that were repaired were not forged together with the other array flags, which resulted in Luo Qiuming's set of Lifebound Array Flag being at least 10% weaker than before.

Even more so, the destruction of the three battle flags caused him serious injuries, and it took him nearly two years and almost two months to recover.

This slowed down his cultivation progress.

Otherwise, based solely on the resources spent repairing those three array flags and the time he had spent healing over the past two years, he would probably have already reached the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment stage.

For cultivators, the hatred of being blocked from their path is greater than the sky.

Furthermore, if it weren't for Ling Pengyun, the Luo Clan could have won the Martial Duel battle over the Sand Soil Mine and obtained an additional half-percent share of the vein, which is quite valuable.

"Today I will definitely hold this damned Ling Pengyun back and let Father kill him here."

Luo Qiuming made a silent vow.

When the attack came, he did not dodge, lest Ling Pengyun take the opportunity to escape from him on the Immortal Spirit Crane King, which was even faster than Second Rank Low Grade flying boat, thus missing the chance to kill Ling Pengyun.

In order to kill Ling Pengyun, he and Luo Minghui went to great lengths to find out that Ling Pengyun had been frequently visiting Tu Yuan Market Town in recent years.

That's why we had to resort to the ambush today.

Luo Qiuming opened his mouth and summoned twelve thumb-sized yellow array flags from his Dantian.

These twelve thumb-sized Yellow Sand Erosion Array Flag, upon flashing a yellow light, all rapidly swelled several times in size, transforming into normal array flag sizes.

Immediately afterward, under Luo Qiuming's control, the array flags flew rapidly, forming an array that conjured countless shimmering yellow sands, directly engulfing the incoming set of Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords, the Melt Word Sword Formation, the ten-zhang-long Azure Sea Sky Sword, and the Feather Arrow Cyclone Qi Gale into the array.

Two years ago, this Yellow Sand Erosion Grand Array was no match for Ling Pengyun, and Ling Pengyun even destroyed three of its formation flags in a short period of time.

Moreover, with the help of the Immortal Spirit Crane King, Luo Qiuming's Ling Pengyun power has been reduced by about 10%.

At Ling Pengyun's signal, the Feather Arrow Cyclone Qi unleashed by the Immortal Spirit Crane King swept up more than 70% of the eroded yellow sand within the Yellow Feather Arrow Cyclone Qi Yellow Sand Erosion Grand Array.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ling Pengyun controlled three attacks: the ten-zhang-long dazzling blue Sword-Ray, the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords, and the Melt Word Sword Formation. These attacks broke through countless yellow sands and headed straight for Luo Qiuming.

Luo Qiuming was not afraid. He waved his hand and patted the Storage Bag at his waist, taking out a yellow bronze bell from it.

This yellow bronze bell is of the Second Grade Middle Rank and is called the Yellow Sand Bell. It was made by Luo Minghui, the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer cultivator, who specially relied on some second-tier Sand Soil Crystal Stone obtained by the Luo Clan from the Sand Soil Mine for today's battle. He entrusted a familiar Second Grade Middle Rank Artifact Refiner from the Hundred Spirits Sect to refine it.

As Luo Qiuming channeled his spiritual energy into the Yellow Sand Bronze Bell, the Yellow Sand Bronze Bell also erected a huge bronze bell phantom, protecting Luo Qiuming inside.

The next moment, the ten-zhang-long Azure Sea Sky Sword, the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords, and the Melt Word Sword Formation also bombarded the bronze bell phantom one after another, stirring up Ripples Marketplace.

For a moment, these three attacks were indeed blocked by the illusory bronze bell transformed from the yellow sand.

Luo Qiuming seized this opportunity and summoned the Second Rank High Grade Purple Star Long Awl that had almost killed Ling Pengyun during the Martial Duel at the Sand Soil Mine.

The Purple Star Long Awl transformed into a purple phantom and swiftly struck the strongest attack of the bronze bell phantom—the ten-zhang-long Azure Sea Sky Sword.

The two collided, and countless purple starlight and blue sword shadows flashed across the sky.

The Azure Sea Sky Sword, which had already exhausted a lot of its strength, was even on the verge of being shattered by the Purple Star Long Awl.

Seeing this, Ling Pengyun, who was a mile away, made a decisive move and, relying on the remaining 60% of his spiritual power, once again cast two of his Innate Spell Hand Seals, Azure Sea Sky Sword.

Two blue sword shadows, each ten feet long, slid across the sky, combining the power of the three Azure Sea Sky Sword to directly knock away the Purple Star Long Awl that Luo Qiuming had summoned.

But at that moment, Luo Qiuming Hand Seals and released a yellow Law Seals.

The yellow Law Seals quickly transformed into a massive hammer, directly confronting the three Azure Sea Sky Sword, which still had considerable strength remaining.

"Boom."

A tremendous roar suddenly resounded.

Countless yellow lights and blue sword shadows shimmered across the entire sky.

Although the giant yellow Giant Hammer was quite powerful, containing a force of 50,000 jin, the three Azure Sea Sky Sword unleashed by Ling Pengyun were all extraordinary.

The hammer only lasted for about three breaths before it was shattered.

The illusory bronze bell in the dark passage didn't even last a moment before it was shattered by the three incredibly powerful Azure Sea Sky Sword, which then sliced Luo Qiuming into large pieces of minced meat.

Several miles away.

Luo Minghui, who was on his way in a Second Grade Middle Rank flying boat, was filled with grief upon seeing Luo Qiuming's tragic death. Nameless rage surged within him, and he roared.

"Qiu Ming".

"Ling Pengyun, today I will make sure you die."

Luo Qiuming is Luo Minghui's son, and at the same time, Luo Qiuming is also the future pillar of the Luo Clan.

Now that Luo Qiuming has died here, it is tantamount to jeopardizing the future of the Luo Clan.

Driven by a desire to avenge his son, Luo Minghui didn't have time to think twice and poured his immense spiritual power directly into the Second Grade Middle Rank flying boat beneath his feet.

The flying boat flashed with light, and its speed increased by three points.

at the same time.

After killing Luo Qiuming, Ling Pengyun, who was pale from riding the Immortal Spirit Crane King and expending too much spiritual energy, showed a hint of joy on his face.

"If I die today, the Luo Qiuming will be without a pillar of support. A hundred years from now, the Luo Clan will surely be trampled underfoot by the Ling Clan."

Thinking this way, Ling Pengyun's smile widened even more.

With Luo Minghui, a Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer cultivator, chasing after him, Ling Pengyun, whose Dantian spiritual energy was less than half full, dared not delay any longer. He quickly took out a medicine bottle from his Storage Bag, poured out two Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Returning Pill, and swallowed them.

Before long, Ling Pengyun's nearly depleted Dantian was filled with the medicinal power of the two Spirit Returning Pill.

At the very next moment, Luo Minghui, who had been chasing after Ling Pengyun Second Grade Middle Rank a mid-grade second-tier flying boat, also caught up to within one or two miles.

He then summoned his own set of Lifebound Array Flag, the twelve array flags of the Second Grade Middle Rank Small Flame Fire Annihilation Formation.

Seeing this, Ling Pengyun, who was riding the Immortal Spirit Crane King, dared not be careless.

This Second Grade Middle Rank Small Flame Fire Burning Extermination Grand Array is quite powerful. Moreover, when it is used by Luo Minghui, who is at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer, its power is increased by another 40% to 50%, making it several times stronger than ordinary Second Rank High Grade Law Artifact.

Ling Pengyun waved his hand and quickly recalled the five attack methods that had previously killed Luo Qiuming: the three ten-zhang-long Azure Sea Sky Sword, the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords, Melt Word Swordplay Secret.

At the same time, he summoned the Immortal Spirit Crane King to unleash Feather Arrow Cyclone Qi, which together met the array flags of the incoming Small Flame Fire Burning Extermination Grand Array.

These six attacks, although they had just used up a lot of their remaining strength to break through the bronze bell phantom protecting Luo Qiuming.

However, they still retain 30-40% of their strength, making them quite powerful and numerous.

However, the power of the Small Flame Fire Annihilation Formation was even greater.

Before the six attacks could even get close to the array flags of the Small Flame Fire Annihilation Formation, the twelve array flags flashed in the void and formed the Lesser Flame Fire Burning Extermination Grand Array, conjuring up a large area of flames that directly engulfed the six attacks and tempered them within the array.

None of these six attacks were at full strength, making it impossible to break through the erosion of the flames and escape the formation.

This attack also caused Ling Pengyun to lose his three Azure Sea Sky Sword, Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords, and Melt Word Sword Formation.

Of course, in order to contain these attacks, Luo Minghui's formation was also held back.

However, the experienced Luo Minghui seized the opportunity and unleashed his Second Rank High Grade Crimson Fire Flying Sword, attacking Ling Pengyun.

Upon seeing this, Ling Pengyun's eyes trembled.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, faced with a situation where all their Law Artifact were trapped, they would probably only be able to watch helplessly as the Crimson Fire Sword came hurtling towards them.

However, for Ling Pengyun, Spell Cultivator, this had little impact on his combat strength.

This was because he had mastered the second-tier Law Technique, Water Snake Technique, to the Consummation Realm.

With this Law Technique alone, his combat strength would not be weak.

He then used his spare Divine Sense to form three blue Hand Seals Law Seals covered with serpentine patterns.

These three Law Seals flashed with spiritual light and transformed into three five-zhang-long water snakes.
