Chapter 711: Leaving with a Flourish
If Liu Yu did not exert his full strength, the current strength of the branch would not be able to withstand the pressure of Qian Court’s forces.
However, his gaze could not be limited to the present.
Once the cultivators sent by Qian Court were defeated, the next batch they sent would only be stronger.
If that happened, this mission would be impossible to complete.
It was a common understanding among all loose cultivator organizations not to confront Qian Court head-on when they were unprepared; there was nothing shameful about that.
The greater the demand, the more one has to wait; the further one aims, the more one must endure!
At this moment, Qian Court’s power was overwhelming; it was not the time to show off, especially when their wings were not yet fully grown; they could not act recklessly.
Liu Yu's orders were relayed through sound transmission, instantly reaching the ears of all branch members.
However, before they could think it through, the third round of attacks from Qian Court's cultivators had already arrived.
Third-stage spiritual ships, third-stage spells, and dao soldiers attacked.
The powerful might spread across the area, and in the blink of an eye, numerous attacks had landed on the light barrier formed by the magic formation.
"Boom!!!"
The already shaky magic formation, after withstanding dozens of third-stage level attacks, shattered with a loud roar, turning into countless fragments that began to dissipate.
The defensive formation was broken!
After all, this was merely a third-stage formation; due to the limited budget for spiritual stones, it was not even a top-level third-stage formation, so its inability to hold was understandable.
Although Liu Yu had spiritual stones, he could not use them for public matters; that would be too unusual.
The Qian Court army arrived so suddenly that the members had not yet regained their senses when they suddenly lost the protection of the formation, exposing them to Qian Court's sight.
"Not good, run!"
Upon receiving the retreat order, all cultivators cast aside their worries.
They instantly transformed into escape lights, fleeing in all directions, trying to find a way to survive.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Guo Poyun concealed his aura and spiritual pressure, disguising himself as a foundation establishment cultivator riding a magical artifact to escape.
After getting a distance away, upon seeing that Qian Court's cultivators had reacted, he could no longer hide, directly retracting his magical artifact and bursting forth at full speed, quickly fleeing into the distance.
"Chase!"
Wearing a golden mask, the leader of the Golden Guard spoke with little fluctuation in tone, as if he was merely a machine programmed for slaughter.
After seeing through the disguise, two Golden Guards immediately pursued.
As the magic formation shattered, the residual might of the third-stage spells still lingered in the air; if it were a foundation establishment cultivator, they would definitely have to avoid the lingering might and would struggle to increase their speed.
In this situation, a reckless foundation establishment cultivator was very suspicious.
"Swoosh Swoosh"
Around the branch, the sounds of spells and magical artifacts crashing rang out, while the escape lights of Guo Poyun and the two Golden Guards shot off in different directions.
Observing the escape speed of the two Golden Guards, they were actually faster than Guo Poyun by a little!
"This guy..."
Liu Yu's lips curled up in a smirk.
From his understanding of Guo Poyun, this person’s full-speed escaping speed was far beyond this; he had merely played a small trick.
It was clear he intended to create distance and then look for an opportunity to shake off the pursuit.
However, while these thoughts flashed through his mind, Liu Yu's movements were not slow.
Although he had delayed some time rescuing Tian Xiaoyu, he almost simultaneously started to break through from another side.
Although the information about the branch headquarters was exposed, Qian Court might not know how many golden core cultivators there were.
