Did the teleportation fail? (Second update)
Suddenly!
An unexpected change erupted. Blue light flashed through the seawater, gathering around the pitch-black flying sword and slowing its descent! Seizing the opening, Li Xiaoya struck backward with his palm. With a boom, two streams of fiery-red Flame shot out, sending his speed soaring and carrying him clear of the sword's attack. He kept accelerating, his divine sense already locating Blue Ice and the others. That blue rope was what Blue Ice had sent out to rescue him.
"Huh?" the Fourth Elder cried in surprise. After a moment's hesitation, black light blazed from the fingers of his remaining hand. He exerted himself, and the pitch-black flying sword flared with black light, throwing off the blue radiance before continuing its swift pursuit of Li Xiaoya.
"Fellow Daoist Li! Take out your teleportation spirit stone! The formation has activated!" Blue Ice's urgent voice reached Li Xiaoya's ears through a voice transmission. Overjoyed, he knew he had been right to let Blue Ice and the others go ahead. He hurriedly slapped his Storage Pouch and took out his Teleportation Spirit Token.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The flying sword behind him was still pursuing him, but Li Xiaoya felt blue light flashing at his back. Seawater froze into enormous ice shields behind him. Although the flying sword had sliced through the rock pillars as effortlessly as cutting tofu, breaking through these shields was not so easy. Each layer slowed it for a moment. Those delays lasted only a breath, but they were enough for Li Xiaoya to escape swiftly. Of course, this was mainly because his Dragon-Devouring Wave had severely wounded the Fourth Elder, leaving him with less than half his magic power. Otherwise, the sword would have caught Li Xiaoya and cut him into eighteen pieces
