Zhao Zhengyuan's axe clashed with Ye Jingyun's Flying Sword, and it was the Flying Sword that was sent flying!

This surprised Chen Lin greatly.

He even felt an urge to attack together, but he quickly suppressed it.

Repelling Ye Jingyun was not the main point; the true target was Yu Yuehai.

He had never witnessed a battle between Foundation Establishment cultivators before, but he could tell from rumors that Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining were on completely different levels, like heaven and earth.

Otherwise, why would the Five Great Families, with only five Foundation Establishment cultivators among them, be able to suppress so many cultivators in Kaiyuan City?

Zhao Zhengyuan's strike not only shocked Chen Lin but also terrified everyone else.

Ye Jingyun looked at her Flying Sword, which had been knocked to the ground, and felt a sense of daze. However, she quickly reacted and summoned the Flying Sword back into her hand with a wave of her hand.

"You're not in the Qi Refining Mid-stage, you've been hiding your strength quite well!"

Holding her Flying Sword horizontally in front of her, Ye Jingyun continued to block Yu Yuehai's path.

The Xia Sisters also took out their Magic Tools, staring intently at Zhao Zhengyuan.

Although the Flying Sword had been knocked away, it had stopped Zhao Zhengyuan's attack. Yu Yuehai, however, seemed unfazed, continuing to control the formation disk as the light sword grew increasingly solid.

Chen Lin's eyes flickered, and he also took out his Flying Sword, pointing it at Zhao Zhengyuan from behind.

At this moment, his stance had to be firm.

"A bunch of idiots, do you know what he's doing!"

Zhao Zhengyuan let out another hysterical roar, his aura surging, about to attack again.

But just then, Yu Yuehai had finished condensing the light sword and turned around.

"Tsk, I thought you had some depth, but you're actually so pathetic."

Yu Yuehai extended a hand, shaking his head in mockery.

As his words fell, his hand grabbed Zhao Zhengyuan's giant axe. Zhao Zhengyuan seemed stunned, allowing Yu Yuehai to snatch the axe away. He then let out a scream, clutching his head, and collapsed on the ground, wailing incessantly.

Chen Lin was utterly shocked.

He couldn't figure out how the other party had attacked at all. He had only glanced back, and Zhao Zhengyuan, who had clearly reached the Late Qi Refining cultivation, had become like a defenseless infant.

Is this the power of the Foundation Establishment Realm? It's too exaggerated!

Chen Lin silently reminded himself that some of his previous plans were probably useless now. He would have to make new plans to escape from them.

He was also fortunate that he hadn't acted rashly.

Zhao Zhengyuan's wails grew fainter, and then he began to foam at the mouth, convulsing uncontrollably.

The Xia Sisters' faces turned pale, clearly shaken by Yu Yuehai's methods. Only Ye Jingyun stood there expressionlessly.

Yu Yuehai glanced at Zhao Zhengyuan and then ignored him. He pointed at the light sword on the formation disk, and the light sword shot straight into the sky!

The light sword moved incredibly fast, and its direction was towards the strange phantom.

Chen Lin was greatly alarmed. Is this guy crazy? He can't even outrun it, and he's not actively provoking it?

Is he not afraid of dying fast enough?

The power of the five giant light beams that formed light swords in the city before hadn't even managed to do anything to the abnormality. This smaller version would barely tickle it.

But what was Yu Yuehai's goal? He shouldn't be unaware of the power of what he had created!

Chen Lin was very confused, and he wasn't the only one.

The Xia Sisters also looked at each other with uncertain eyes, but wisely, they remained silent.

Yu Yuehai had always given the impression of being unpredictable and ruthless. If they displeased him and ended up like Zhao Zhengyuan, wouldn't they be inviting trouble?

Finally, Ye Jingyun spoke.

"Senior Brother, we should leave here quickly. Even if that abnormality is still in its transformation stage, it can't be killed."

But Yu Yuehai didn't respond. He stared expressionlessly at the strange phantom, then took out five large Spirit Stones and shot them into the grooves of the formation disk.

The four of them looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and could only watch his bizarre actions.

In just a moment, the light sword had flown below the strange phantom. The phantom was too large; there was no need to aim, it would be hard to miss.

Just as Chen Lin had thought, the light sword disappeared into the strange phantom without causing any damage. Instead, it angered the entity.

The abnormality, which had been temporarily calm, suddenly spun, and an arrogant, cold aura descended.

This feeling was exactly like the aura of a cultivator sneering disdainfully, but thousands of times stronger.

Immediately, countless red lines shot out from the strange phantom, thicker and larger than before.

These red lines moved at extreme speed and with incredible precision. In the blink of an eye, the cultivators who had fallen behind were connected by the red lines again and instantly sucked dry.

The fleeing lights in the sky began to fall like dumplings, accompanied by continuous screams of panic.

Chen Lin and his group were no exception. Six red lines, as if they had eyes, shot towards them, aiming directly at each of their heads.

But at this moment, another light sword had formed on Yu Yuehai's formation disk. With a wave of his hand, the light sword rose into the air and unleashed a brilliant sword energy, cutting through all six red lines.

"Go!"

After doing this, Yu Yuehai grabbed Zhao Zhengyuan and threw him onto the flying ship. He put away the formation disk and controlled the small boat to dart forward, skimming the ground.

However, his speed was not fast this time. After flying for a while, he stopped again.

"Senior Brother, you don't mean you want to seize the Strange Spirit, do you?"

At this moment, Ye Jingyun suddenly spoke, her eyes revealing disbelief.

Yu Yuehai finally broke his silence, letting out a sinister smile and saying, "That's right, but whether we have the chance depends on whether those old guys have the guts!"

After speaking, he activated the formation disk again and threw it on the ground, placing the Spirit Stones, ready to condense a light sword at any moment.

Chen Lin was very curious about what the Strange Spirit Yu Yuehai mentioned was, but he knew it was useless to ask if the other party didn't want to say.

On the other hand, the Xia Sisters seemed to know something. Like Ye Jingyun, they showed looks of horror.

Just then, Chen Lin noticed Ye Jingyun turn her gaze to him. It was only a fleeting glance, but it contained a strange look.

He didn't know if he was being too sensitive, but Chen Lin felt that she seemed to have done it intentionally, though he couldn't guess her meaning.

However, he raised his vigilance and, finding an opportunity when Yu Yuehai wasn't paying attention, touched the Storage Bag on his waist that held the Thunderclap Bead.

Then, he checked the nameless sword qi within his body. Unfortunately, this sword qi had just formed and hadn't been nurtured yet, so he didn't know its power.

While he was thinking, movement appeared in the sky again.

Just as the red lines rampaged, capturing and devouring the increasingly distant cultivators, the Lan Family's giant flying boat in the sky suddenly roared, and then condensed a light sword.

This light sword was like the one Yu Yuehai had created, both being imitation versions of the giant light pillar from the city earlier. However, it was much larger than the one Yu Yuehai had made.

The light sword emitted infinite radiance, making the night sky as bright as day.

Immediately, it slashed down!

Not only were all the red lines rushing towards the giant boat severed, but the red lines charging towards the surrounding cultivators were also annihilated. These cultivators felt as if they had been reborn, no longer daring to linger ostentatiously in the sky, and all dived into the jungle on the ground.
