Chapter 662: Nighttime Assassination
“Whoosh whoosh~”
The blue escape light soared into the air, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived outside Jiangzhou City.
Liu Yu and the five female cultivators in blue skirts maintained a safe distance of eight to nine miles, utilizing their superb spiritual consciousness techniques to keep the five of them firmly locked in place.
Ten miles away from Jiangzhou City, he activated the "Concealment Technique" and "Invisibility Technique" in succession, causing his escape light to vanish into thin air.
At the same time, his formless spiritual consciousness moved as well.
Compressed and refined to its limits, it was arranged using special techniques, constructing a "Wall of Spiritual Consciousness" around him.
This way, even if a cultivator’s spiritual consciousness swept by occasionally, they would only see an empty expanse.
Unless the opponent's spiritual consciousness techniques were far beyond Liu Yu's or if they were a substantial realm higher, rendering all his techniques ineffective.
Otherwise, over ninety-nine percent of golden core cultivators would be unable to see through this series of secret techniques and their combined effects.
Beneath the hood, Liu Yu's face was expressionless, and his eyes remained cold and calm throughout.
His breathing was maintained at a specific frequency, with his chest rising and falling only after a long time.
He was like an experienced hunter, patiently waiting for his prey to fall into his trap.
“Whoosh whoosh~”
Under the pitch-black night sky, six escape lights rapidly flew away, quickly covering a large distance, now about seven or eight hundred miles from Jiangzhou City.
With spiritual consciousness extending in a one hundred and twenty-mile radius centered around himself, Liu Yu attentively monitored movements from all directions.
He noticed that as they moved farther from Jiangzhou, the number of high-level cultivators they encountered diminished rapidly.
Even though there were occasionally some escape lights, most were from low-level cultivators engaged in qi refinement and foundation establishment, with those above golden core cultivation becoming rare.
And among the yuan ying true monarchs, he hadn’t seen a single one during the journey.
This was not difficult to understand; although there were quite a few yuan ying true monarchs in Jiangzhou, they typically numbered around twenty to thirty unless it was a specific time.
In a region larger than Chu State, this number seemed exceedingly scarce, and the likelihood of randomly encountering one was virtually nonexistent.
Unless one’s luck was exceptionally poor.
“It’s time.”
A flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes as Liu Yu thought this, feeling that the moment to strike had arrived.
Although there were still many low-level cultivators in the surroundings, for him now, those below golden core realm were nothing more than ants, practically equivalent to nonexistence.
Those beneath golden core are all ants!
With this thought, Liu Yu's storage bracelet glowed, and a pair of black wings suddenly appeared in his hands.
Black Wind Wings!
Infusing it with magical power, the Black Wind Wings expanded to about ten feet in size and landed on his back.
"Flap!"
With a sweeping motion of the magical treasure, the speed of Liu Yu's escape immediately increased, effortlessly reaching an average escape speed of three thousand eight hundred miles per hour.
“Boom!”
In the next moment, Liu Yu activated both his body refinement and qi refinement cultivation levels simultaneously, entering a state of full power explosion.
In the pitch-black night, the blue escape light surged magnificently, and his escape speed notably increased, successfully crossing the threshold of four thousand miles per hour.
This speed was unattainable for the vast majority of golden core cultivators.
Unless aided by secret techniques or magical treasures, they might never reach it throughout their lives.
