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

Chapter 69: Why are your lips purple? You definitely can't outrun me, believe it or not?

"Um?"

Realizing something was wrong, Dong Mo quickly looked down at the core of the array at the bottom of the ship. He saw that the runes that were originally lit were going out one by one, as if their spiritual power was being forcibly drained away by something.

"What's going on?" Feng Ling Shuang also noticed something was wrong.

Song Qiuyu's expression changed, and she frantically made hand seals in an attempt to reactivate the spirit boat's formation, but no matter how hard she tried, the core of the formation did not react at all.

"Oh no! The spiritual energy tide is interfering with the operation of all the floating magical artifacts!" Song Qiuyu exclaimed in alarm.

Dong Mo looked up and saw that the Dong family cultivators who had been chasing them were now also suffering.

Flying swords, spirit shuttles, spirit boats, and pet beasts—all the floating magical artifacts that relied on spiritual power lost their power at this moment.

The Dong family cultivators fell from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Screams rose and fell in waves as hundreds of cultivators plummeted to their deaths, a sight so spectacular it was chilling.

No matter if you are at the Foundation Establishment stage, Core Formation stage, or even Nascent Soul stage, no matter how high your cultivation level is, at this moment you are all the same—flailing your arms and legs in the air, desperately trying to grab something, but unable to grasp anything.

Dong Mo was watching with schadenfreude when suddenly...

Suddenly, the ground beneath my feet gave way to emptiness.

The levitation formation of the spirit boat has completely failed.

Then Dong Mo and his group also crashed like Mamba Out, just like Lao Da who elbowed a helicopter.

Song Qiuyu's face turned deathly pale as she gripped the helm tightly: "Hold on tight! Our ship is..."

Before the words were even finished, the spirit boat suddenly plummeted downwards!

"Aaaaaaah!"

Dong Mo and the other three screamed in unison.

Dong Mo felt the wind whistling past his ears, and the scene before him spinning rapidly. The ground expanded rapidly in his field of vision, and the mountains, trees, and rivers rushed towards them at an incredible speed.

With their cultivation levels, although they wouldn't die from falling from this height of ten thousand meters, they would inevitably break their arms or legs and suffer pain for a while.

Feng Ling Shuang desperately circulated her spiritual power, attempting to fly on her sword, but the interference from the spiritual power tide was too strong, and her Phoenix Cry Sword could not be stabilized at all.

Gu Ziyue was so frightened that her tail bristled into a ball of fur, and she instinctively lunged into Dong Mo's arms, arching her back.

"Help! Ahhhhhh—"

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it..."

Just as the spirit boat was about to crash!

The blood-red longsword stuck in the deck suddenly lit up.

Yin Lingsu's sword was finally drawn at this moment.

A gentle sword aura emanated from the sword, like an invisible hand steadily supporting the falling spirit boat. The sword aura transformed into a thin layer of light, enveloping the entire spirit boat and cushioning the impact of the fall.

"Bang!"

The spirit boat landed steadily on the ground without any violent impact, without any cracking sound, and not even the teacups on the deck were overturned.

The four little ones lay on the deck, panting heavily.

Dong Mo's face turned deathly pale, his heart pounded wildly, and he was too shocked to speak.

Song Qiuyu gripped the rudder of the spirit boat tightly, her fingers turning white from the force, and her whole body trembling slightly.

Feng Ling Shuang trembled, her legs went weak with fear, but she forced a calm expression and bit her lip, refusing to utter a sound.

As for Gu Ziyue... she huddled in Dong Mo's arms, her tail bristling like a fluffy ball, her back arched.

Two small hands gripped Dong Mo's shoulders tightly, refusing to let go, their eyes filled with terror.

"I...I'm still alive?" Gu Ziyue's voice trembled.

Dong Mo looked down at the ruffled little fox in his arms, unsure of what to say.

In contrast, the Dong family members standing nearby were far less fortunate than Dong Mo and his group. Although they didn't die from the fall, they suffered considerable losses, with many of their magical artifacts damaged by the spiritual energy tide.

However, they quickly regrouped and surrounded Dong Mo's ship. But they dared not step inside the barrier and could only watch from there.

These cultivators were filled with resentment towards Dong Zhan, the head of the Enforcement Hall, and were almost driven to the point of fainting from anger!

Hmph... You, Dong Zhan!

The brothers put you in their pockets, but you kick them into the ditch.

The brothers thought you were going to show off and take care of Yin Lingsu, but even with Sumeru's help, you were no match for her.

He was still saying he'd fire at you, and now look what happened—all the brothers have crashed! How could you be so incompetent?

Dong Mo and his companions were completely unaware of the thoughts of these members of the Dong family's Enforcement Hall.

Seeing that they were safe and sound, Dong Mo and the other three on the boat breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

After a while, the four of them gradually came to their senses.

Feng Ling Shuang was the first to recover. She took a deep breath and tried to steady her trembling legs. Then, she saw Gu Zi Yue in Dong Mo's arms.

The once arrogant and haughty demon princess was now cowering in Dong Mo's arms like a frightened kitten, trembling all over, her tail bristling, looking utterly pathetic.

Seeing this, Feng Ling Shuang couldn't help but laugh: "Oh~ this fox is so timid!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ziyue's body visibly stiffened, and then her face instantly turned bright red.

"Who...who's a coward!"

Only then did Gu Ziyue notice that her hands were gripping Dong Mo's shoulders tightly, her head buried in his chest, in an extremely intimate position. Gu Ziyue's face instantly turned red to the roots of her ears.

Then she glared at Dong Mo, her voice both urgent and shy.

"How long are you going to keep holding me like this! Let go of me right now!"

Dong Mo was taken aback and subconsciously let go of her hand.

"Bang!"

Gu Ziyue fell straight to the ground, landing hard on her bottom.

"Ouch!" Gu Ziyue cried out in pain, jumping up from the ground while clutching her bottom. Her amber eyes were full of displeasure. "Don't you know anything about chivalry?"

Dong Mo shrugged, looking completely innocent: "Didn't you tell me to let go? And to be honest... I really don't see what's so special about you!"

"you……"

Gu Ziyue was so angry that she couldn't speak, her tail swishing back and forth like an angry snake.

Feng Ling Shuang, watching from the side, couldn't help but add fuel to the fire: "I advise you not to mess with Junior Brother Dong, otherwise if there's danger later, you coward, you'll have no one to hold you~"

Gu Ziyue suddenly turned her head and glared at Feng Ling Shuang: "You're the coward! I... I wasn't scared!"

Feng Ling Shuang laughed and said, "Then let me ask you! Why are your lips purple?"

"Bullshit!" Gu Ziyue stomped her foot angrily. "If you had really fallen just now, you definitely wouldn't have been able to keep up with me. You'd have fallen much worse than me, believe it or not!"

.........

The two women started bickering again, and it looked like they were about to start arguing again.

Song Qiuyu sighed helplessly, just about to speak up to mediate the fight, when she suddenly caught something out of the corner of her eye. Her expression froze instantly.

"Stop arguing!" Song Qiuyu abruptly interrupted the two, pointing to the sky, "Look over there!"

The four of them looked up at the same time, gazing in the direction of Heming Mountain City.

In the sky, the crimson sword light finally pierced through the last layer of protective formation on the Sumeru seat.

"boom!"

A deafening roar.

The defensive formation of the Sumeru pedestal has been broken.

It wasn't just a crack or a gap; the entire formation collapsed completely at that moment.

Countless array runes exploded simultaneously, turning into a sky full of fire and fragments. The entire floating warship shook violently, countless cracks appeared on its hull, and billowing black smoke poured out from all parts of the warship.

After piercing through the formation, the crimson sword light shot straight into the muzzle of the main cannon of the Sumeru seat.

Although the entire warship was not destroyed, the main cannon muzzle was accurately hit by the sword energy, and countless cracks spread across the cannon body, the array runes shattered, and the energy circuit exploded.

Although it wasn't completely destroyed, it's absolutely impossible for it to fire a second shot in the short term.
