CHAPTER 880: Retreating Safely
……
“Whoosh, whoosh~”
In the vast night sky, the azure-purple escape light led the way, followed closely by the blood-red escape light, one chasing and the other fleeing as they quickly disappeared into the distance.
“Whew, whew~”
The Purple Lightning Cloak fluttered as Liu Yu, cradling Ink Plum, sped away, closely pursued by a massive nebula body behind him.
In the blink of an eye, he had fled dozens of miles; however, the blood-colored demonic light behind him relentlessly chased on.
Wherever they passed, the overwhelming Nascent Soul Spiritual Pressure swept across the surroundings, crushing everything like mountains and seas.
Cultivators of varying levels in their path were all horrified and, once they realized the situation, hurriedly avoided them.
Yet most cultivators were still slow to react when the two escape lights whisked away in an instant.
“Blood River Sword Technique!”
Seeing Liu Yu's incredible speed and unwilling to give up on the spiritual object, the Blood Sea Demon Lord finally decided to stop holding back.
With both hands forming spell gestures, he pointed towards the dark red short sword.
At that moment, this true treasure's might rapidly soared to unprecedented heights, bursting forth with brilliant blood-red spiritual light.
“Roar~!”
Within the blood-colored brilliance, the sword quickly grew larger and transformed into a lifelike blood dragon, roaring as it accelerated towards Liu Yu.
“Crash, crash~”
As the Blood Sea Demon Lord unleashed spell gestures, the boundless blood energy spilling from the dark red short sword morphed into an ever-flowing blood river.
The blood surged fiercely, seemingly carrying countless lost souls that swept forward with great momentum.
The blood dragon swam through the blood sea, and with the two attacks complementing each other, their power instantly reached the peak of the fourth stage!
If this strike were to be met head-on, even a mid-stage true monarch could very well fall!
A distance of over a hundred miles could be crossed in a very short time when it came to attacks of the fourth stage level.
“Whoosh, whoosh~”
In just a few blinks, the vast blood sea and blood dragon closed in on the azure-purple escape light.
“What a powerful attack!”
In Liu Yu's embrace, Ink Plum felt her heart tremble and her expression changed slightly at this scene.
However, she certainly wouldn’t sit idly by; her hands formed spell gestures as quickly as lightning, even creating afterimages.
“Go!”
With the last gesture completed, Ink Plum let out a soft shout, and her Life-Bound True Treasure, the golden giant sword, radiated immense spiritual light.
Under her utmost effort, the golden giant sword expanded to about a hundred feet in the blink of an eye, nearly matching the blood dragon and blood river.
“Vroom, vroom~”
The golden giant sword emitted a loud sword cry, then turned to aim at the incoming attacks, and struck down fiercely.
“Whoosh, whoosh~”
Although the two attacks seemed to be similar in size, their powers were worlds apart.
The Blood Sea Demon Lord had meticulously prepared this strike, and its might was now approaching the peak of the fourth stage, while Ink Plum’s fully powered sword still hadn’t reached the quality of the fourth-tier high quality.
In the next moment, the two attacks met halfway, a booming sound resonated throughout the mountains.
“Bang!!!”
The blood light and golden light reflected off each other, illuminating the area for miles around, powerful waves of energy rippling through the space.
“Roar!!!”
Just then, the blood dragon transformed from the dark red short sword let out an ear-splitting roar.
Immediately, the blood river surged with monstrous waves.
In just one confrontation, the blood light completely overwhelmed the golden light, a terrifying surge of power erupted, and the hundred-foot long golden giant sword was sent flying.
“Ding~~”
It traveled for two to three dozen miles before, under Ink Plum's control, it barely stabilized its form.
