Fairy, don't let your golden finger chase after me!

Chapter 67: Watch closely! This next sword strike is going to be awesome!

"Miss Ziyue! Watch out!"

Seeing the giant eagle swooping down, Dong Mo instinctively protected Gu Ziyue beside him.

however……

Just as the giant eagle touched the edge of the sword energy barrier, a sudden change occurred!

The blood-red longsword stuck in the deck suddenly emitted a low hum.

Immediately afterwards, the sword energy barrier, centered on the longsword, suddenly contracted and then expanded outwards!

Countless visible sword ripples burst forth from the edge of the barrier, like countless invisible blades, simultaneously slashing towards the giant eagle.

"laugh……"

With a soft sound, the giant eagle at the Core Formation stage didn't even have time to let out a scream before its massive body instantly disintegrated amidst the ripples of sword energy.

Black feathers, scarlet flesh, and stark white bones were all shattered into countless tiny powders in an instant, scattering with the wind.

Not even a crumb was left.

The four people on the spirit boat were stunned at the same time.

The deck was deathly silent.

Feng Ling Shuang stared wide-eyed, her mouth slightly agape, incredulously looking in the direction where the giant eagle had disappeared.

Gu Ziyue's tail froze in mid-air, her amber eyes filled with shock.

Song Qiuyu stopped making hand seals and stared blankly at the blood-red longsword that was still trembling slightly.

Dong Mo was also stunned.

half an hour-

The four of them turned their heads at the same time, looking at each other.

Then, a mischievous smile appeared on the faces of all four of them.

(ಡωಡ)

At this moment, they finally realized...

The barrier set up by Yin Lingsu was not just a "turtle shell," but also a deadly weapon.

No wonder Yin Lingsu said, "Those who cross this boundary will die."

This is not a threat, it is a statement of fact.

Dong Mo took a deep breath, the smile on his lips widening. He slowly stood up, brushed the dust off his robes, and looked back at the Dong family pursuers who were still hot on his heels.

"Now that we have such a powerful weapon... it's time for the reckoning."

Feng Ling Shuang and Gu Zi Yue exchanged a glance. This time, there was no hostility in their eyes, only the same excitement.

Feng Ling Shuang: "Now, the balance of power has shifted."

Gu Ziyue: "If Kou can go, so can I! Let's get him!"

Song Qiuyu smiled slightly, gripped the helm of the spirit boat with both hands, and a fierce glint flashed in her eyes.

"Hold on tight! The driver is about to start!"

After saying that, Song Qiuyu suddenly turned the helm, and the spirit boat drew a sharp arc in the air, changed direction, and rushed straight towards the pursuers behind!

The Dong family's pursuers panicked immediately.

"Why...why did they turn around?"

"Are you crazy?"

"Scatter! Scatter!"

.........

However, it was too late.

The spirit boat, like a wild beast unleashed, rampaged through the Dong family's pursuers.

Those small spirit boats of the pursuers, daring to approach the barrier, were instantly cut into pieces by the sword energy ripples.

Flying swords, magical artifacts, pets...

Anything that came near the barrier was instantly reduced to dust.

"Hahaha! That's awesome!" Gu Ziyue stood at the bow of the boat, her fox ears twitching with excitement. "Let you chase me! Let you chase me!"

Not to be outdone, Feng Ling Shuang controlled the Phoenix Cry Sword and unleashed a series of sword energies at the fleeing pursuers in the distance.

Although the sword energy itself was not very powerful, the pursuers were so frightened that they dared not fight back and only scattered and fled.

Song Qiuyu maneuvered the spirit boat, dashing left and right through the pursuing troops as if they were nothing.

Dong Mo stood on the deck, hands on his hips, watching the Dong family cultivators fleeing in disarray, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

"Hmph! Avoid their sharp edge? I'll take on their elite troops!"

……

at the same time.

Outside Heming Mountain City, the battlefield between Dong Zhan and Yin Lingsu.

Yin Lingsu yawned, her golden eyes lazily looking at the Sumeru Throne, a floating warship that was still charging above her head.

The muzzle of the main cannon was radiating a white light as intense as a second sun, distorting and warping the surrounding air in the intense heat. Terrifying energy fluctuations emanated from the muzzle, causing even birds flying dozens of miles away to scatter in fear.

Yin Lingsu looked down at Dong Zhan, who was clinging tightly to her thigh, and spoke with a look of disgust.

"Hey... young man, isn't it fully charged yet? I've been waiting forever!"

She pointed to the spirit boat that was rampaging through the Dong family's pursuers in the distance, a slight smile playing on her lips: "My precious disciple has even started chasing after your Dong family's pursuers!"

Dong Zhan snorted coldly. The blood at the severed arm had already congealed. His face was as pale as paper, but his eyes remained stubborn.

"Shut up! Once the Sumeru Throne fires, you'll know what's what."

"Really?" Yin Lingsu raised an eyebrow, her tone full of mockery. "I'm so scared..."

Just then...

"Buzz!"

A deafening roar came from the direction of the Sumeru pedestal.

The sound was deep and resonant, like the roar of an ancient beast, shaking the earth. The air vibrated violently in response to the sound, and visible ripples spread outwards from the Sumeru pedestal.

Main gun, fire!

A blinding white beam of light shot out from the bow cannon of the Sumeru-class ship. The beam was so thick that it could engulf the entire spirit ship, and the energy contained within it was enough to destroy a city.

That was a terrifying power comparable to a full-force attack from a Void Refinement expert.

Wherever the beam of light passed, space was torn open with dark cracks, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was as insignificant as an ant before this power. The laws of destruction flowed within the beam of light, and anything it touched was decomposed into its most primordial particles.

The beam of light fell straight towards Dong Zhan and Yin Lingsu.

The madness on Dong Zhan's face intensified. He gripped Yin Lingsu's thigh tightly with his remaining right arm, his knuckles turning white from the force.

"Southern Wilderness Sword Demon!" he roared hoarsely, "Come to hell with me!"

Yin Lingsu looked down at him, her golden eyes calm as still water.

"Aren't you afraid?" Dong Zhan asked.

"Afraid?" Yin Lingsu tilted her head, as if she had heard the funniest joke. "Why should I be afraid?"

"I think... you young man don't understand anything. Although the main cannon of your Sumeru Throne is comparable to the Void Refinement Realm, it is ultimately not the Void Refinement Realm."

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you..."

"You don't understand these things, so I won't argue with you."

"After all, if you don't reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, you'll see me like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky; once you reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, you'll know that seeing me is like an ant seeing the blue sky."

Dong Zhan's pupils contracted slightly.

Yin Lingsu smiled slightly, and a serious look finally appeared in her golden eyes.

"Today, I'll show you..."

Yin Lingsu stretched out a hand and made a grasping motion towards the distance. Ten feet away, the hilt of Dong Zhan's spirit sword, which had been broken in two, trembled violently, then transformed into a stream of light and flew into Yin Lingsu's hand.

Although it was a broken sword, its blade was full of cracks, and its spiritual light had long been extinguished, it looked no different from a piece of scrap metal.

But when Yin Lingsu held it, it was as if she were holding a peerless divine weapon.

"What do you mean—"

Yin Lingsu raised her head, her gaze meeting the destructive pillar of light descending from the sky. She then took a deep breath, holding her broken sword horizontally in front of her, its tip pointing straight to the heavens.

"Below the Nascent Soul stage, I am invincible; above the Nascent Soul stage, I am unmatched!"

"I'll trade one for one!"

Upon hearing this, Dong Zhan's pupils suddenly contracted to their maximum size.

Yin Lingsu's lips curled up, revealing a wild and unrestrained smile.

"Watch closely, this next sword strike—"

She swung her sword suddenly!

"Yes! It will be! Very! Cool!"

"Sword! Open! Heaven! Gate!"

Yin Lingsu let out a furious roar, a sound like thunder from the heavens!
