Flying on his sword, Li Xingkong arrived at the agreed location in no time.
Even from a distance, Li Xingkong spotted Zhang Yumeng standing on the street, looking around as she awaited Li Xingkong arrival.
He pressed the sword tip down, drawing an Arc, Li Xingkong in front of her.
"Haven't seen you for a long time."
Perhaps because of her cultivation, she hadn't changed at all over the years, and Li Xingkong recognized her at a glance.
"Mr. Li, you arrived way too quickly."
Zhang Yumeng was somewhat surprised by Li Xingkong's entrance. She had indeed thought that Li Xingkong's appearance might be a little unusual, but she hadn't paid much attention. The fact that such a large person appeared right in front of her was quite startling.
The fact that she could be so easily frightened only shows that she has never experienced a single battle since she started cultivating.
Not all cultivators have combat experience, especially in Divine Land. Many people cultivate simply to prolong their lives and maintain their health, and incidentally learn some spells to better establish themselves in society. Combat is still quite different from that of ordinary people.
"It's alright, the speed is just average. Come on, get your sword, I'll take you somewhere."
Li Xingkong pointed behind him, and the sword light beneath his feet extended backward, giving Zhang Yumeng a place to land.
After all, she was a girl, unlike that kid Tang Cheng, who could be dragged behind by his Divine Sense with his sword. She was very tough, and even if you didn't put a wind-blocking shield on her, she wouldn't be in any trouble.
"Oh well."
Zhang Yumeng lightly leaped onto the flying sword.
She was a cultivator after all, and she wouldn't be unable to stand steadily no matter what. She didn't reach out to support Li Xingkong, but kept a little distance from him.
As for where Li Xingkong was going to take her, she was standing on Li Xingkong's flying sword at this moment. The Magic Power structure and aura emanating from the flying sword gave her a very uncomfortable sense of oppression, as if countless sword lights were circling around her.
The invisible pressure made her afraid to move, and she even forgot to ask questions.
Seeing Zhang Yumeng board the flying sword, Li Xingkong merely moved his fingers slightly, and the entire flying sword immediately shone with white light, soaring straight into the sky.
"Ah!!"
As a well-behaved girl who only knew how to bury herself in cultivation and had never even learned a proper spell, Zhang Yumeng had never seen such a scene before.
The flying sword flew faster than anything she had ever experienced before, so fast that she felt her brain being flung five meters behind her.
Although her body wasn't thrown off by the flying sword's rapid movement, her subconscious panic made her reach out and grab Li Xingkong's clothes.
"Are you... afraid of heights?"
Just as Li Xingkong was about to gain a little more altitude and accelerate, he suddenly felt a tightness behind him as his clothes strangled his neck.
Looking back, Zhang Yumeng had her eyes closed, her face filled with terror, and she was clutching the hem of her clothes so tightly that they were almost torn apart.
"No, no, I'm not afraid of heights, it's just a bit fast."
Realizing that Li Xingkong was watching her, Zhang Yumeng quickly opened her eyes, her words still a little incoherent.
"If you're not afraid of heights, could you please loosen my clothes? They're too tight and uncomfortable."
Li Xingkong was speechless. This guy said he wasn't afraid, but he was trembling so much that he could barely stand.
"Okay, sure."
She tried her best to control herself, loosening her grip on Li Xingkong's clothes. She was both afraid and embarrassed, unsure of what to do with her hands.
"Well, I have a small suggestion. Um, could our flying sword be a little wider?"
Although she said she wasn't afraid, she secretly glanced at her feet a few times. Her feet were stuck to the flying sword as if nailed to the ground, and she didn't dare to move an inch. Li Xingkong could even feel a Magic Power extending outward from her feet, trying to bind her firmly to the sword.
"I said, is it possible that the flying sword is just a medium for casting a spell, and that as long as you're near the flying sword, you won't fall?"
Li Xingkong was speechless. How did this guy even sneak into the Earthly Capital? He was such a coward.
However, he quickly came to his senses. Indeed, he had been overthinking things. The Earthly Capital mainly populated by researchers. Old Tang and Tang Cheng were the exceptions. Most researchers didn't have many requirements regarding personality.
"Yes, really? That's good."
Upon hearing Li Xingkong's words, Zhang Yumeng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and she appeared less flustered.
"Aren't you scared now? Then I'll speed up."
Seeing that she was no longer so panicked, Li Xingkong immediately increased the speed of his Sword Control Technique to the maximum speed within Earth Star and flew towards the Pacific Ocean.
Zhang Yumeng did not affect Li Xingkong along the way, but Li Xingkong still kept an eye on her actions while flying.
This guy has a pretty strong ability to adapt.
When she first started accelerating, she was so scared that her face turned pale, but after only a few minutes, once she felt safe, she began to do her own thing.
First, he stood behind the flying sword and tentatively moved half of his foot outwards towards the sword to see if he could step into empty air. After a few attempts, he stood on one leg and stretched the other foot outwards towards the sword, as if testing something.
After trying it for a while, he still wasn't satisfied, so he started touching it from the left and right, squatting behind the flying sword and beginning to ponder the Magic Power structure flowing on its body.
They pulled out a small camera-like device from somewhere and started randomly filming the sword.
"I'm saying, I'll have to charge you if I appear in the video."
Just as her actions became increasingly bold, secretly preparing to take a picture of Li Xingkong's back with her camera, Li Xingkong, without turning his head, said something.
"Oh... ah? You can see it."
Zhang Yumeng hurriedly hid the camera behind her back and immediately stood up.
Indeed, it does look rather awkward for a young woman to squat in Asia pose on a flying sword.
"I have to say, it takes a Chinese Divine Land People to tell the difference at a glance. If it were Cherry Blossom Country, they might just be sitting like a duck."
Li Xingkong muttered a quiet complaint.
"You son of a bitch, you'd better die."
Zhang Yumeng's image was compromised; she had apparently forgotten for a moment that the person in front of her was the strongest cultivator in the world, and she immediately tried to punch Li Xingkong.
But halfway through her punch, she realized that something was definitely wrong.
"Um, I mean... um..."
Li Xingkong laughed. He had long felt that this girl was not a stable person. He had sensed something was off when they handed over their work to each other before. He felt that she was being a bit pretentious when she was at work.
I never expected him to be such a dynamic and energetic person in private.
But that's alright, a more lively personality is even better.
Soon, they arrived at the location of the array's core, and Li Xingkong directly controlled his flying sword to plunge into the sea.
