Pursuit

"Tread!"

By curbing the inertia of the Gu Jinlai, we can stand firm.

"You have great courage to confront a demon god warrior like me, who possesses the physique of a mid-level great Demonic Beasts and whose Undying Demon Body is being strengthened in the direction of strength."

He looked at the figure, its bones shattered and no longer recognizable as human, after being struck by his power...

In a hazy state...

This Primordial Spirit True Lord seemed to be tilting his head, looking towards the east.

That's the direction of Dragon Sparrow Manor.

He maintained this posture, weakly opening his mouth. "My whole life... has been dedicated to her... fighting for her... sacrificing for her... I have no regrets... no regrets..."

Before Wang Yinfeng could finish speaking, Gu Jinlai raised his foot and stomped down on his head.

"Bang!"

The skull was shattered.

The words of the Supreme Elder of Dragon Sparrow Manor came to an abrupt end.

"Supreme Elder!"

Not far away, the Spirit Transformation cultivators who had broken through the firepower of Gu Chifeng and others cried out in shock, anger and grief.

One of them seemed ready to rush forward and fight Gu Jinlai the death, but was held back by the other.

The group quickly fled in the opposite direction from Lingxiao City.

"No matter how selfless and righteous you claim to be, to me you are a group of despicable assassins, a group of people who collude with Demonic Beasts and harm their own kind. For people like you, it's not a pity if you die a clean death."

They crushed Wang Yinfeng's head in the Gu Jinlai and then wiped it on the ground.

He watched the fleeing Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators and gave the order to Gu Chifeng and the others, "Chase them!"

Then, he took the lead, his feet exploding with power, unleashing his "Across the World" Movement Method, stirring up a sandstorm, and heading straight for the six survivors.

The gentle sunlight fell upon him, stimulating the evolution of deuterium and superdeuterium within his body. Guided by his spirituality, these substances were thrown into the eternal furnace, transforming into a powerful force that continuously flowed into every corner of his body, sustaining the consumption of the Great Sun True Demon Body.

For a moment, he seemed to be draped in a faint golden light, making him appear even more solemn and sacred.

As he passed by his own Cheng Ying sword, he made a casual gesture.

Spiritual guidance.

The Cheng Ying sword vibrated and quickly flew into his hand.

Less than a breath after it landed in his hand, the sword's properties were activated again, and then he hurled it fiercely.

The sword spun, constantly colliding and rubbing against the air, unleashing a thunderous whistle.

"Careful!"

A senior elder from Longque Mountain Villa, Spirit Transformation, Eldest Brother.

The sword flashed.

Two flying swords simultaneously attacked Cheng Ying Sword.

"Bang!"

Sparks flew.

The clash between the battle sword and the flying sword resulted in an effect similar to mutual destruction.

The two flying swords were forcibly knocked apart and sent flying amidst the flying fire and meteors. The Cheng Ying Sword, which Gu Jinlai, was also shaken and lost its aim, falling in another direction.

And that direction...

It turned out to be the very same Spirit Transformation cultivator who had shot out the flying sword to intercept them.

This type of fall is completely contrary to the laws of physics.

However, as a top expert capable of cultivating to the Spirit Transformation realm, that elder of Dragon Sparrow Manor reacted extremely quickly, his Gang Qi erupting and instantly unleashing more than a dozen sword energies.

These sword beams roared, each one seemingly possessing the sharp, deadly power to slay Core Forming.

Even though the Cheng Ying Sword contained the "thousand-pound" property, it was stopped by this series of sword energy attacks and was eventually broken apart by the sword energy, bouncing towards the open space to the side.

Immediately, the Spirit Transformation elder let out a long breath.

"Careful!"

At that moment, another sharp whistle rang out.

Along with it came a pressure that seemed to freeze the air itself.

The Spirit Transformation elder immediately realized something and looked up in shock.

A massive figure cast a suffocating shadow as it crashed down.

As he unleashed his true essence and struck the Cheng Ying Sword with his sword energy, deflecting the sword, the distance between the two swords, spanning hundreds of meters, had Gu Jinlai been traversed.

"Not good!"

The Spirit Transformation elder's expression changed drastically. He retreated rapidly, simultaneously unleashing his divine sense. "Sword, come!"

"Buzz!"

A dazzling and brilliant light emanates from it, a light that has been present since Gu Jinlai.

At this moment, Gu Jinlai, like a miniature giant, seemed to summon the sun to descend, with endless radiance pouring down, filling his entire field of vision with that light...

His thoughts froze instantly.

Great Sun Divine Light!

"Boom!"

Before he knew how long he had been immersed in this dazzling spectacle, a booming sound of Gang Qi exploding rang out.

"No, I'm being hunted down from Gu Jinlai!?"

With the help of this roar, the Spirit Transformation elder suddenly opened his eyes.

What appeared before him was a fist so huge it filled his entire field of vision.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could also see Gu Jinlai suddenly make a move, gripping a flying sword that shot towards him as if to save him.

That's his junior brother Long Feiyu's Flying Light Sword?

The roar just now was the shockwave caused by the force of the right hand that had been extended from Gu Jinlai to forcefully intercept the flying sword.

Unfortunately, this sword strike was a rescue...

Unable to stop the figure that had been pouncing down from Gu Jinlai the present.

"I..."

When he regained consciousness, he wanted to do something, but it was too late.

The next moment, a violent punch, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, slammed into his body.

In that instant, he seemed to feel his body being completely torn apart as if by a devastating force, and then...

Consciousness dissipated.

"No!"

Not far away, Long Feiyu, who had watched helplessly as Gu Jinlai killed his senior brother with a single punch, let out a mournful roar.

He had lived with his senior brother since childhood, and his senior brother treated him like a father, but now...

"Gu Jinlai!?"

The Spirit Transformation cultivator roared angrily, unleashing his Yin Spirit power as if to snatch the flying sword back.

"So full of grief and indignation, yet you've forgotten that you are the very culprits who started this whole conflict!"

With a low shout, Gu Jinlai's dazzling radiance rapidly condensed, forming a violent and blazing pillar of light. Carrying flames that purified all things, it frantically washed over the flying sword he held in his hand, as well as the Yin Spirit belonging to Long Feiyu attached to the flying sword.

Eternal Heavenly Curse!

"Ah!"

Under the bombardment of this soul-destroying technique, the Yin Spirit of Long Feiyu, the master of the Flying Sword, melted away rapidly, like ice and snow exposed to the scorching sun.

He himself couldn't help but let out a shrill scream.

"You want the flying sword? Here you go!"

After dissipating the Yin Spirit energy contained in the flying sword, Gu Jinlai shook his hand, and the flying sword, which looked like a child's toy, spun rapidly and shot out. After tearing a white wave-like mark in the sky, it instantly pierced through the head of Long Feiyu, who was suffering from a backlash a thousand meters away.

"Junior Brother Long!"

Seeing this scene from a distance, the remaining three Spirit Transformation elders of Dragon Sparrow Manor let out a mournful cry.

But no one stopped to fight to the death with the Gu Jinlai anymore.

"Run! Scatter and run!"

"Escape back to Dragon Sparrow Manor and let the Supreme Elder decide!"

"Gu Jinlai! I swear! The pain you have inflicted on our Dragon Sparrow Manor today, I, Jinque, will make you pay tenfold, a hundredfold!"

One after another, the Spirit Transformation cultivators roared, unleashing their Movement Method to the limit, and sprinted at full speed in three directions.

Gu Jinlai looked at the four people, then shifted his gaze from Su Wen, whom he had originally intended to pursue.

"Golden Palace, is it?"

The force beneath his feet exploded once more, his figure moving like the wind...

Like a hurricane.

With a roar, dust billowed up, and the attack chased after the Spirit Transformation elder of Dragon Sparrow Manor who had sworn an oath to the heavens.

As it passed by the Cheng Ying Sword, a spiritual pull drew the sword swiftly into his hand.

This scene, when witnessed by Su Wen, naturally brought him a sense of relief.

He dared not speak, running wildly with his head down, wanting only to leave Lingxiao City as quickly as possible, as far away as possible.

After...

I'm never coming back.

As for that Golden Palace Elder who swore an oath to Heaven...

His face was pale.

Without any hesitation, he unleashed his secret technique, and his already incredibly fast Movement Method surged, quickly widening the distance of a thousand meters between them.

Gu Jinlai, seeing this, there has been no indication that they would switch their pursuers.

Relying on his understanding of the essence of things and even the power of all living beings, he locked onto the aura of this Spirit Transformation cultivator and strode forward.

Chase!

They're hot on their heels!

1,000 meters, 1,500 meters, 2,000 meters...

After chasing for dozens of miles, the distance between the two increased to more than four miles.

However, as time went by, the secret technique of that Spirit Transformation cultivator from Dragon Sparrow Manor could not last.

Furthermore, in terms of physical fitness, cultivators are no match for demonic warriors.

His speed gradually slowed down.

As the pursuit traversed over a hundred miles, Jinque's running speed was no longer half of its peak, and the distance between them was quickly reduced to less than a thousand meters.

Gu Jinlai!

A resolute glint flashed in Jin Que's eyes.

There's no escaping it!

There's no way to escape!

He suddenly turned around, staring intently at Gu Jinlai, his entire body's energy and spirit blazing, all of which was poured into the flying sword in his hand.

When the distance between the two was only 500 meters, the flying sword burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling sword light.

"Kill!"

With a long howl, this sword strike seemed to contain the lifelong conviction of a Spirit Transformation cultivator.

"Sword Technique! No birth, no death, no sword, no self!"

"Call out!"

The Cheng Ying sword was thrown away by Gu Jinlai.

The sword struck with extreme precision against the flying sword that contained the fatal blow of a Spirit Transformation cultivator.

"Bang!"

As sparks flew, a visible shockwave burst out from the point of impact, and the splashing Sword Qi crisscrossed wildly, instantly shredding all the grass and shrubs within a radius of tens of meters.

One strike...

The Cheng Ying Sword, which had been launched with the method of annihilation from all directions Gu Jinlai, was actually blasted away by the flying sword of Jin Que.

"Um!?"

Gu Jinlai, their gazes have sharpened.

The sword light blasted away the Cheng Ying Sword, but it didn't slow down much.

The fierce and indomitable aura contained within the flying sword surged forward, instantly reaching within a hundred meters of Gu Jinlai.

The illusory image of the sun appeared.

The Eternal Heavenly Curse was unleashed, and the flying sword, imbued with a fierce will, collided violently with the radiance of the Eternal Heavenly Curse. Surprisingly...

It broke through the dazzling light of the Eternal Heavenly Mantra directly.

"Artistic conception?"

They realized something in an instant, Gu Jinlai.

His expression turned cold. "What a joke!"

An intruder! And yet he dares to have this kind of fighting spirit!

They seem to firmly believe that everything they are doing is right, and this belief drives them forward relentlessly!

"You... are so stubborn!"

As if enraged by the Gu Jinlai, his killing intent surged forth, his body arched like a bow, and he unleashed a fierce punch.

The fist, imbued with terrifying killing intent, surged out violently, shattering the void dozens of meters in front of it and crushing all the grass clippings on the ground into dust.

Under the combined bombardment of this fist force and killing intent, the flying sword that had crashed into Cheng Ying Sword and withstood the Eternal Heavenly Curse trembled violently. In the end, it was like a spent arrow, and stopped after all its power was exhausted by the fist energy.

Then...

It fell before people throughout Gu Jinlai.

Jin Que, a Spirit Transformation cultivator from Dragon Sparrow Manor, also exhausted all his vitality.

As his flying sword exhausted its power, he fell backward.
