CHAPTER 258: The Innocent Suffer (Super Large Chapter)
“Do you think you can escape like this?”
Liu Yu sneered coldly, locking onto Du Jingshan's figure with his spiritual consciousness. He directed two spiritual artifacts along with the azure yang devil fire to swiftly shatter the uncontrolled spells.
After fleeing a distance of four or five miles, the dark golden short sword talisman treasure's spiritual light contracted and transformed into a talisman paper depicting a short sword.
Then it spontaneously combusted without a flame, turning into ash as it seemed its power had been exhausted.
Seeing this, Liu Yu did not hesitate to retract the vajra halberd talisman and summoned the spiritual artifacts and devil fire back in front of him.
Next, he patted his storage bag to take out the Wind Escape Boat, infusing it with magical power to soar into the sky, transforming into a streak of black escape light, chasing after Du Jingshan.
Like a cold-blooded and merciless assassin, he was pursuing the soul!
There is a significant difference in the power and transformation of spells controlled by cultivators versus those without.
Therefore, the few second-rank talismans releasing spells without a cultivator’s guidance were easily shattered and dispersed.
The Wind Escape Boat's speed was extremely rapid. Liu Yu wielded this artifact, achieving a speed surpassing that of ordinary late-stage foundation establishment cultivators, nearly reaching eight hundred miles per hour.
Meanwhile, Du Jingshan's red flying sword also appeared to be specifically designed for flight, allowing him to exceed the average mid-foundation establishment cultivator, with an escape speed around six hundred miles per hour.
However, it was of no use.
The gap in their escape speeds remained evident.
Despite being a step ahead, Du Jingshan did not manage to pull away; instead, the distance between them continued to shrink.
“Friend Du, why did you leave without saying goodbye? We haven't even caught up properly yet!”
With his spiritual consciousness firmly locked onto the other's position, Liu Yu spoke as he approached within five miles, deliberately provoking Du Jingshan.
While flying, Du Jingshan received Liu Yu’s sound transmission and observed the situation behind him. He immediately felt a chilling sensation, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Fight? Or flee?
He couldn't defeat Liu Yu; he had noticed that the other still had talisman treasures with power yet to be exhausted.
He couldn't shake Liu Yu off in his escape; the damned fellow actually had a flying artifact, and his speed was even faster!
In that moment, Du Jingshan felt immense hatred.
Considering his long tenure at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, he had never collected such an excellent flying escape artifact.
This freak not only had a fast cultivation speed, rising from the seventh layer of qi refinement to nearly the peak of the early foundation establishment stage in just over twenty years, but he also possessed such refined artifacts and talismans as hidden trump cards!
Could it be that this kid had obtained some heaven-defying opportunity?
Various speculations flashed through Du Jingshan's mind, but his trump cards had nearly been exhausted, unable to change the fact that the distance between them was gradually closing.
“Friend Hong, is there a misunderstanding between us?”
“We could sit down and talk; why rush into fighting upon meeting?”
“I am willing to pay the price until you are satisfied! I only ask you to spare me!”
As the distance decreased, Du Jingshan trembled, his fear of death overwhelming him, and he decisively pleaded for mercy, attempting to stall for time.
At the same time, he made up his mind that if he could survive this calamity, he would definitely seek revenge in the future.
First, he would spread the word about this person obtaining a heaven-defying opportunity, cultivating so fast and possessing so many spiritual stones, causing trouble for him, regardless of truth or falsehood.
