Chapter 226: One Person Transported
The black sword blade, about a zhang long, struck without hesitation, tearing the Black-clad Elder apart into several large chunks of flesh and blood. Those low-level demonic beasts living nearby would surely appreciate the sight.
"Smack!"
With the master dead, the two red flying daggers and the crimson arrows lost control, their spiritual light quickly fading as they fell to the ground.
"Whoosh."
Liu Yu exhaled a heavy breath. Although the duel of magic was brief, it consumed more energy than his assault on the Amethyst Mine, leaving his mind extremely tense.
He placed his hand, which had been pressing on the storage bag, back down. In the end, the situation had not escalated to the point of using talisman treasures.
Talisman treasures, each worth thousands or even tens of thousands of spiritual stones, were extremely rare for Liu Yu.
It was not a place to linger!
Liu Yu leapt deep into the air, landing on branches as he gathered up several magical artifacts from the scene.
Then, he approached the Black-clad Elder's corpse, reached out, and drew in the storage bag with a swift motion, securing it at his waist.
Skillfully, he unleashed the azure yang devil fire, turning the flesh into fuel.
With everything settled, all he needed to do next was return to the Yuan Yang Sect's controlled area, ensuring his safety.
Just as Liu Yu was about to leave, he paused, gazing at the fire ignited by the Li Xuan Sword in this forest.
After some thought, he formed hand seals and executed a low-tier "cloud and rain technique."
He drew out the water vapor in the air, forming a moderately sized rain cloud, which soon began to pour down rain.
Although the cloud and rain technique was just a low-grade spell, when cast by a foundation establishment stage cultivator, its power was still considerable enough to extinguish these mundane flames effortlessly.
After completing this, Liu Yu did not wait for the results. He steered the Wind Escape Boat upwards, transforming into a streak of black light that was inconspicuous in the night sky, flying south along the edge of the Kermir Great Plain.
Only a small patch of rain clouds remained, drenching the area as the flames in the forest diminished until they were extinguished, eventually causing the rain clouds to vanish.
Only the neatly cut trees and the residual burn marks indicated that a duel of magic had just taken place between cultivators.
…
Although no enemy cultivators pursued him from behind, Liu Yu did not dare to relax, as he was still within the control range of the Heavenly Harmony Sect.
An hour later, aboard the Wind Escape Boat, Liu Yu constantly observed his surroundings, holding two medium-grade spiritual stones, one fire and one wood, as they turned to ashes and scattered in the air due to the depletion of spiritual energy.
After a series of duels, although his magical power was deeper than that of cultivators of the same rank, he had only about thirty percent of his magical power left after killing the Black-clad Elder, and now he had finally recovered to a significant extent.
Typically, the escape speed of late-stage foundation establishment cultivators was about six hundred miles per hour, twice as fast as early-stage cultivators.
The Wind Escape Boat specialized in flying, moving even faster than late-stage foundation establishment cultivators, but due to its weak defenses, Liu Yu had to be cautious of potential incoming attacks, hence he did not dare to advance at full speed.
An hour passed, and he had covered five hundred miles from the forest where the duel occurred, with about six hundred miles remaining to the Cold Mist Forest.
Having not been pursued by the cultivators of the Heavenly Harmony Sect for so long, it seemed they did not plan to make a significant move, as they also had resource points to guard.
Liu Yu thought silently, and then formed a spell seal, commanding the Wind Escape Boat to fly at full speed.
The next segment of the journey should be much safer. There were limited foundation establishment stage cultivators in the Heavenly Harmony Sect, and with the vastness of the Kermir Plain, it was impossible for them to seal off the area.
