Raging Water Banner
Seeing Song Wen still fleeing for his life ahead, the female cultivator smirked.
"Fellow Daoist, since you are determined to go your own way and refuse to hand over the Tidal Demon, then I have no choice but to resort to drastic measures."
The female cultivator's aura suddenly surged, and her speed increased dramatically.
Suddenly, a dark banner appeared in her hand, with numerous white lines outlined on it, resembling white waves surging in the deep sea.
She gently waved the banner.
In an instant.
Large amounts of water vapor quickly gathered from all directions.
The water vapor gathered in the air and quickly transformed into a surging torrent of water, rushing towards Song Wen.
The water flowed like a giant dragon, churning wildly in the sky and creating a deafening roar.
Song Wen's pupils suddenly contracted, and the water behind him gave him a powerful, mountain-like sense of oppression.
A pagoda ten feet tall appeared out of thin air above Song Wen's head.
The pagoda cast a dark yellow light, sheltering Song Wen within.
At the same time, a large amount of lightning erupted from Song Wen's body, transforming into a silver shield that protected him from Song Wen.
Inside the Thunder Shield was a Great Lu.
The pagoda was the first to be impacted by the water flow.
The radiant light flickered under the raging current, ultimately unable to withstand its power.
The radiant light dissipated, and the pagoda fell to the ground, transforming into a small pagoda about a foot tall, which fell into Song Wen's hands.
Immediately afterwards, the water surged against the lightning shield like a ferocious beast.
The silver shield crumbled and disintegrated under the frenzied tearing of the water, turning into countless tiny bolts of lightning.
Then, a deafening "BOOM!"
The water slammed violently against the Great Lu.
The Great Lu swayed continuously, but it did not shatter.
Under the scouring of the water, Great Lu is like a reef island in the ocean, tenaciously and stubbornly resisting the onslaught of the raging waves.
Despite being struck by the current, Song Wen was not only unharmed, but his speed actually increased, and he quickly escaped the attack range of the water.
"Hmm! Interesting. A mere Golden Core Early Stage cultivator was able to block a single Raging Water Banner."
The female cultivator muttered something to herself.
Before she finished speaking, her speed increased again, quickly closing the distance between her and Song Wen.
"Fellow Daoist, I am Xing Yixuan from the Xing Family. May I ask your name? Would you be willing to join my Xing Family and serve Xing Family?"
Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Song Wen's eyes.
Xing Yixuan!
According to legend, she is the pride of the Xing Family, a peerless genius on par with Xing Liren.
Now, it is clear that Xing Yixuan's talent surpasses that of Xing Liren; she has already reached the peak of the Peak Golden Core Stage realm.
Song Wen had previously suspected that he had fallen into Shan Yue's trap, and that this woman was invited by Shan Yue to take his life.
In hindsight, he was just unlucky; he happened to run into Xing Yixuan.
Xing Yixuan's previous attack clearly showed that she was holding back.
If the opponent goes all out, he, with only the Golden Core Early Stage realm, will find it difficult to resist.
"Fellow Daoist, judging from your attire and methods, you are undoubtedly a Rogue Cultivator. Why not join my Xing Family and become Golden Core Xing Family?"
"My Xing Family is one of the five major powers in the Sea of Disorder, with a profound foundation. By joining the Xing Family, you will not only receive abundant Spirit Stone stones and pills, but also be able to cultivate many of the Xing Family's Cultivation Method and secret arts."
Xing Yixuan had a smile on her face and spoke with sincerity, appearing eager to find talented people.
However, Song Wen, who was ahead, simply buried his head in his escape and paid no attention to Xing Yixuan's words.
Xing Yixuan's smile vanished, and a hint of coldness crept into her voice.
"It seems you look down on my Xing Family, fellow Daoist. Since you are so ungrateful, then die!"
At this point, the distance between Xing Yixuan and Song Wen was less than twenty li.
She waved the banner in her hand continuously.
The Raging Water Banner flowed like a Sky River pouring down, blotting out the sky and rushing towards Song Wen.
The water was surging and raging, as if it would drown the whole world.
Each stream of water is like a giant dragon, carrying an earth-shattering power.
Song Wen was serious and focused. The attacks from these water currents had exceeded his defensive limits. If he were caught in the currents, he would surely be torn to pieces.
A large amount of blood mist suddenly erupted from Song Wen's body.
A mist of blood swirled and gradually engulfed his figure.
Several streams of water surged in, engulfing the blood mist, but Song Wen was nowhere to be seen within it.
Xing Yixuan frowned slightly, her heart filled with surprise and doubt.
"What kind of escape technique is this? It's so bizarre and unpredictable, it can disappear so suddenly. I've never heard of anything like it!"
Her eyes were sharp as knives as she scanned the vast, boundless sea.
It was about two hundred miles away.
A cloud of blood mist suddenly appeared.
Song Wen's figure fell out of the blood mist.
After advancing to the Golden Core stage, his life level underwent a leap, and his physical body was completely transformed.
The Essence Blood within his body also underwent a transformation as a result.
The total amount of Essence Blood in Song Wen's body has decreased, to only about a hundred drops, enough to fill two jade bottles.
However, the quality of the Essence Blood was greatly improved, with each drop containing immense energy and vitality.
Due to the special nature of Song Wen's physical body, the total amount of Essence Blood hidden within him has already exceeded that of a Peak Golden Core Stage cultivator.
This allowed him to escape a slightly greater distance than a typical Peak Golden Core Stage cultivator when he used his Blood Escape Technique at full power.
Song Wen dared not linger for a moment, and rode on lightning to continue his escape into the distance.
Two jade bottles appeared in his hands, and he tilted his head back and drank the Essence Blood inside in one gulp.
The Essence Blood entered the abdomen and were quickly absorbed by the body, restoring the Essence Blood that had been depleted due to the Blood Escape Technique.
He had prepared this Essence Blood in advance, just in case. He also had more than a dozen bottles of the same Essence Blood in his storage ring.
A hint of amazement flashed in Xing Yixuan's eyes, clearly showing that she had developed a strong interest in the Blood Escape Technique.
A playful smile curled at the corner of her lips as she spoke coldly in a low voice.
"This escape technique is indeed amazing. But do you think you can escape from me like this?"
Anyone with eyes can see that this escape technique is extremely taxing on Essence Blood.
However, it is impossible for Essence Blood to be restored in a short period of time.
Xing Yixuan assumed that the two jade bottles Song Wen took out contained some kind of pill to restore Essence Blood. She never expected that Song Wen's Essence Blood had been completely restored.
Xing Yixuan transformed into a streak of light and chased after Song Wen.
On this vast, unobstructed sea, Song Wen had nowhere to hide, and the effectiveness of his Blood Escape Technique was severely weakened.
Seeing that the other party was relentlessly pursuing him, Song Wen decisively changed direction and shot into the sky like an arrow.
High in the sky, shrouded in clouds and fog, visibility was obstructed, making it the perfect place to shake off pursuers.
When Xing Yixuan caught up to Song Wen fifty miles behind, Song Wen disappeared into a cloud of mist.
The distance of fifty miles was already beyond Xing Yixuan's Divine Sense perception range.
Xing Yixuan suddenly lost track of Song Wen.
A moment later, she followed Song Wen into the clouds.
The clouds and mist high in the sky gather or disperse, taking on various shapes.
Some clouds connect with each other, forming a sea of clouds; others hang alone in the air, like a solitary island.
The thickness of the clouds and fog varied; some were thick and dense, completely obscuring the view; others were ethereal and light, as transparent as a thin veil.
The wind sweeps away the clouds!
Unpredictable!
In such an environment, it would be extremely difficult for Xing Yixuan to find Song Wen.
She could only rely on her keen senses to track down the faint traces of Song Wen's remaining presence.
