Yu Ningsui also noticed the reinforcements arriving. She merely furrowed her brow slightly before instantly drawing her sword again!
"Cloud Moon Subtlety!"
Another streak of black light flashed past. The spirit cultivator rushing into attack range, rider and bird alike, was slashed by the sword and spiraled down toward the sea.
Though they had been locked in a battle of wills all this time, the little girl still could not bring herself to be ruthless. After all, had that strike just now been delivered by any seasoned powerhouse, it should have easily killed the opponent.
Just as I had expected, the injured spirit cultivator swallowed a pill, and his wound immediately improved considerably. The fierce bird beneath him corrected its flight posture and shot back into the air, its ferocity even greater than before. It even charged straight at Qu Linshang, the one controlling the gourd, from beneath it without a care for anything else!
"Ningsui! Watch out!" Qu Linshang sat at the mouth of the gourd, with no blind spot in his vision except behind him.
Startled, Yu Ningsui sprang toward the gourd's opening and cut off the wing of the charging bird with one slash!
The cloud crane's miserable cry shook the nine heavens. This was already the cruelest choice Yu Ningsui could make!
But the enemy did not care about that in the slightest. Ignoring his mount being maimed, the spirit cultivator planted a foot on the bird that had lost its ability to fly, borrowed its force, and shot straight at Qu Linshang!
This sword strike was ruthless and vicious, advancing without hesitation! Qu Linshang was only a spirit cultivator elder, and caught off guard, he had even forgotten to activate the spirit artifact in his hand!
Yu Ningsui froze for a moment as well, but
