Sword Flight

The final battle for resources among the Twelve Kings.

Zhou Zhuling and Liu Ying stood facing each other on the makeshift arena.

"I heard that Sister Zhou knows the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore?" Liu Ying asked curiously.

Zhou Zhuling replied gently, "Mm."

Liu Ying nodded, then asked thoughtfully, "I also heard that Sister Zhou likes the shop owner?"

"..." Zhou Zhuling blushed instantly, glancing at Zhou Guanyu in the audience with a murderous look in her eyes.

However, Zhou Zhuling neither refuted nor responded.

But to Liu Ying, this was obvious. She winked at Zhou Zhuling and said, "Sister Zhou has tacitly agreed."

"You little rascal, are you going to fight or not?" Zhou Zhuling laughed.

Liu Ying stuck out her tongue and said, "Of course I won't fight anymore, Liu Ying concedes."

"Miss Liu Ying, are you sure you want to admit defeat?" the referee asked from the side.

Zhou Zhuling was also puzzled. Liu Ying was very strong, and she wasn't confident she could defeat her.

Liu Ying nodded firmly and said, "Yes, I admit defeat."

The referee confirmed again that Liu Ying had forfeited the match and immediately announced loudly, "The match is over. Miss Liu Ying has conceded defeat, deducting one point. Zhou Zhuling wins, gaining one point."

"The competition has ended. The rankings for this internal resource competition among the Twelve Kings are as follows: First place: Zhou Zhuling, Second place: Zhang Liu Ying, Third place:..."

As the referee announced the result, the audience in the stands began to chatter and make a ruckus.

"How could it just end like that?" Everyone looked completely bewildered.

"That's right! Miss Liu Ying is so strong, why did she admit defeat?" someone asked in confusion.

"I think I just heard Miss Liu Ying saying something about the shopkeeper, but they were deliberately using Spiritual Power to muffle their words, so it was hard to hear the whole thing," someone said.

"Yes, I also heard the words 'Mysterious Bookstore.' Could it be related to that Mysterious Bookstore in Dubian Town?" someone asked.

While everyone was focused on why Liu Ying conceded defeat, Ma Feifei was also a bit frustrated! He had come to see just how powerful the Purple Ying Sword really was, but Liu Ying 'Ma Feifei immediate surrender dashed his hopes, leaving him unhappy.

"Zhang Yunji, do you know your sister and Zhou Zhuling?" Ma Feifei asked Zhang Yunji, who was standing to the side.

Zhang Yunji shook his head and said, "Miss Zhou Clan lives in Dubian Town year-round and rarely returns to the capital. In addition, she was diagnosed with the Nine Colds Disease a few years ago, so she rarely appears in public. Almost no one in the Twelve Kings families has any dealings with her. However, we do know her younger brother, Zhou Guanyu. Not long ago, Limitless Spirit Emperor even came to our Zhang Clan to propose marriage to Zhou Guanyu, saying he wanted to marry Liu Ying."

Ma Feifei stroked his chin, looked down at Liu Ying and Zhou Zhuling, nodded, then seemed to remember something and asked, "So Liu Ying just admitted defeat, aren't you angry?"

Zhang Yunji was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Why are you angry? Second place is already a very good result. Ten years ago, our Zhang Clan was only ranked fifth."

Ma Feifei was speechless.

"Why are you admitting defeat? I heard from Guanyu that you obtained an eighth-tier spirit sword from the Mysterious Bookstore. If we really fight, I might not be able to defeat you," Zhou Zhuling said, looking at the Purple Ying Sword in Liu Ying's hand.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying raised the Purple Ying Sword and said with delight, "You mean the Purple Ying? It's incredibly powerful, but Sister Zhou is one of us, so I can't use the Purple Ying Sword on you."

"One of our own?" Zhou Zhuling, somewhat puzzled.

Liu Ying nodded and said seriously, "That's right! My brother works at the Mysterious Bookstore, and Sister Zhou is friends with the owner, so we're all on the same side."

Zhou Zhuling suddenly realized and nodded. What Liu Ying said made some sense.

"But Sister Zhou, I heard from my brother that this Purple Ying Sword is the first magical weapon produced since the Mysterious Bookstore opened," Liu Ying said proudly.

Zhou Zhuling looked at the Purple Ying Sword in Liu Ying's hand. She had been away from Dubian Town for several months and was no longer aware of what new books had been published in the Bookstore or what new revenue they generated.

"Liu Ying, could you try out the Purple Ying Sword? I'm very curious about how it differs from other eighth-tier spiritual weapons," Zhou Zhuling said.

The items that come out of the Mysterious Bookstore, whether they are little elves or martial arts techniques, are somewhat different from those in this world, so Zhou Zhuling also wants to see if the magical artifacts are also somewhat different.

"Great! I've discovered a really powerful feature of the Purple Ying Sword." Liu Ying nodded happily.

The Purple Ying Sword was drawn from its sheath, a rainbow pierced the sun, and purple energy soared into the sky.

All the magical artifacts within the Canglong Fort emitted a buzzing tremor.

"This is?"

Everyone was drawn to this scene, looking up at the soaring purple aura in astonishment.

"An eighth-tier spirit sword!" someone exclaimed!

"Hiss!" Everyone gasped.

Miss Liu Ying's spirit sword is actually an eighth-tier spirit weapon!

The purple aura shot into the sky, made a turn, and its Phantom Organization resembled a purple waterfall cascading down, a breathtaking sight.

"Watch closely, Sister Zhou!" Liu Ying shouted, and with a kick, she flew into the air.

"What is Miss Liu Ying doing?" someone asked, puzzled as Liu Ying suddenly flew into the sky.

"Are we going to Sword Flight?" someone whispered.

"How could that be?" This statement was immediately refuted by everyone.

Those below the Spirit King are uncontrollable, and those below the Spirit Venerable level need to rely on external forces, such as high-grade spiritual artifacts, to achieve long-term flight. Below the Spirit Venerable, even with expensive spiritual artifacts, they can only achieve short-term flight, and that is only low-altitude flight; they cannot fly higher.

However, the Liu Ying are currently flying at a height of at least 400 meters, which is beyond the scope of low-altitude flight.

At this moment, the Liu Ying seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, stopped rising, and began to fall.

"Call out"

Suddenly, a long purple rainbow streaked across the sky and appeared beneath Liu Ying's feet.

The Liu Ying, stepping on a purple rainbow, once again soared into the sky.

"My God! It really is Sword Flight!"

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

"How is that possible?" someone shook their head, unable to believe it.

This is utterly illogical. It's one thing for Liu Ying, who has just entered the Spirit King realm, to be able to Sword Flight, but now she can actually rise to a high altitude. And judging by the speed, she has already risen to at least a thousand meters in the air, and is still rising!

Everyone looked up at the scene, and from their perspective, all they could see was a purple Phantom Organization rising higher and higher.

On the streets of the capital, everyone stopped and looked up at the Phantom Organization in the sky.

A woman led a well-behaved child slowly down the long street.

The child looked up, pointed at the purple light in the sky, and jumped up, shouting, "Mother, look, there are gods!"
