In the eyes of others, Ling Xi Wanderer looked like an unlucky soul swept by a shock wave, dancing wildly as he tumbled down from the high platform. Only his profound cultivation allowed him to adjust his posture mid-fall and flee outward.
Yet the direction Ling Xi Wanderer chose was very sensitive. He had to cut diagonally across the upper side of the black lotus, instantly arousing the vigilance of all the cultivators. His awkward position was fully revealed at this moment, as cultivators from both sides actually attacked him simultaneously.
Ling Xi Wanderer put on a look of sheer terror. "I didn't..."
His sharp voice immediately turned into a buzzing hum. The next instant, Ling Xi Wanderer's Mystic Bee Demon Body manifested before everyone. Two pairs of transparent wings beat rapidly, carrying the six-foot-long demon body as it tried to fly upward, but amid the impacts from all directions, it coughed up a mouthful of blood and plummeted crookedly.
By this time, the mighty baleful intent of the God Slaying Saber had dissipated, and Ling Xi Wanderer crashed directly beside the black lotus, narrowly avoiding a collision. The lotus also shook twice, and the pitch-black flames seemed to have burned him.
At that moment, countless people desired Ling Xi Wanderer's death, but his reaction ultimately saved his life. Not even looking at the black lotus, his bee body's six legs and two pairs of wings twitched continuously, and he scrambled and crawled several zhang away before beating his wings to flee once more, escaping as if from serpents and scorpions.
A sword light fatal enough to kill brushed past the tips of his wings in the nick of time. However, since he bolted straight away, the others couldn't be bothered to care and continued fighting fiercely.
Dozens of miles
