Tang Guangyun sensed a hint of danger and hurriedly summoned a shield, placing it before him.
With a crack, the shield shattered as though it were made of paper, failing to hinder the Fengyi Sword in the slightest! The Fengyi Sword cleaved into Tang Guangyun without obstruction.
Tang Guangyun was, after all, at the Golden Core Late Stage. The instant the shield shattered, he darted aside, escaping the danger of being cut apart.
Though he reacted quickly and evaded the fatal blow, the Fengyi Sword sliced off nearly half his body, from his right ear down through his right shoulder to his right leg.
"Aah!" Tang Guangyun screamed miserably. Then golden light flashed, and a Golden Core flew from his ruined body, shooting north like lightning.
Xu Qingtong did not pursue him. He merged his Incarnation with his original body, reached out to seize Tang Guangyun's Storage Ring, and shouted to Du Siwen, "Senior Sister, let's go back!"
As he spoke, he picked up Chen Ruoling and boarded the Swiftwind Boat.
Du Siwen channeled her magic power into the Swiftwind Boat, turned it around, and flew toward Juxian Academy.
Aboard the Flying Boat, Xu Qingtong's face was pale and bloodless. He hurriedly took out the Earth Milk, drank two drops, then sat cross-legged and began circulating his cultivation to recover.
As Du Siwen piloted the Flying Boat, she occasionally turned to look at Xu Qingtong. Seeing that he was not seriously hurt, she felt slightly relieved.
About two hours later, color gradually returned to Xu Qingtong's face, and the magic power within his body had more or less recovered. He exhaled a breath of stale air, rose, and walked over to Chen Ruoling.
"Qingtong, have you recovered?" Du Siwen turned to glance at Xu Qingtong and asked.
Xu Qingtong nodded
