Chapter 335: Spirit Locking Restriction
Originally, controlling the Li Xuan Sword required purer magical power, allowing his escape speed to rival that of a late stage foundation establishment cultivator.
Now, switching to the Wind Escape Boat, it was even more like adding wings to a tiger, with an escape speed reaching eight hundred miles per hour, far surpassing late stage foundation establishment cultivators.
Generally, early stage foundation establishment cultivators have an escape speed of about three hundred miles per hour, mid stage four hundred miles per hour, and late stage six hundred miles per hour.
Xiao Chong and Dugu Wengjian seemed to have some insights into device flight, flying slightly faster than the average mid foundation establishment stage cultivator.
But facing Liu Yu's full-speed onslaught, they were still powerless, watching helplessly as he drew closer.
The pressure from his spiritual pressure became increasingly intense.
Soon, Liu Yu caught up and positioned himself ahead of the two.
With a blank expression, he cast several spell techniques and with a wave of his hand, summoned the superior spiritual artifact Li Xuan Sword and the Soul-Reaping Spike, striking at the two escape lights behind him.
To recruit these loose cultivators, he needed to showcase absolute strength first before discussing anything else.
"Do not resist!"
Feeling the might of the Li Xuan Sword, Xiao Chong frowned, beads of sweat appearing on his handsome face under the enormous pressure.
He could only suddenly stop his escape light to evade the enormous red sword.
Fortunately, the Li Xuan Sword did not continue its assault and merely hovered in mid-air.
On the other hand, Dugu Wengjian chose to harden his resolve and take the strike from the Soul-Reaping Spike, instantly falling into a disadvantage and was forced to stop his escape light.
Although both were mid foundation establishment stage cultivators, their cultivation techniques were merely ordinary, and there was a significant quality gap between supreme magical artifacts and superior spiritual artifacts, not to mention in terms of spiritual consciousness.
Thus, the outcome of that strike was obvious!
Although Liu Yu's attack was imposing, it did not carry any killing intent, as he did not intend to take the lives of the two.
"Now, can the two of you fellow cultivators stop and talk?"
He said blandly.
While he spoke, Yan Kai and the other three had already caught up, hovering behind the two and surrounding them.
"The four sects of Yan State have betrayed the alliance and colluded with the righteous path. Our five sects of Chu State are acting according to the alliance's agreement to rectify the chaos."
"Liu's meaning should be clear to both of you, so I won't waste any more words. Now I only have one question."
"Xiao Daoist and Dugu Daoist, do you wish to continue standing with the White Cloud Temple and collude with them, or will you abandon the darkness and accept the alliance's orders?"
Liu Yu said coldly.
His attitude was extremely strong, leaving little room for the two to choose, appearing exceedingly domineering.
But it was precisely this strong and domineering attitude that struck at the heartstrings of the two like a morning bell, making them acutely aware of their situation.
"Well..."
Xiao Chong frowned deeply, and under the immense pressure, his face was covered in more sweat.
He glanced around at Yan Kai and the others who were surrounding them, realizing he had to "choose sides" and make a decision between the two stances.
As for Dugu Wengjian, holding his sword, his expression was cold, seemingly unfazed.
He had shown remarkable talent in swordsmanship since childhood and was quite proud; his beliefs did not allow him to submit under coercion.
Moreover, the Bai Family had treated him well, and he did not want to let them down.
"Hehe~ Liu Daoist, I am just a nameless loose cultivator."
"This matter regarding the four sects of Yan State really has nothing to do with me."
"I just want to live incognito and enjoy a carefree life."
