Upon hearing this, Phoenix Ling'er, who had taken human form, froze.
Then the expression on her exquisite jade-like face changed repeatedly, visible even to the naked eye.
It turned from red to white, then from white to red, showing that she was furious to the extreme.
"What kind of skill is just running away?"
"If you're a gentleman, come back and fight me one-on-one, fair and square."
"I guarantee I'll leave you with a complete corpse!!!"
Phoenix Ling'er was so angry that her face turned deathly pale. While crazily attacking and intercepting, she let out a furious roar.
Unfortunately, Liu Yu's moral bottom line was extremely flexible, and he had never claimed to be a "gentleman."
He was not shaken by words at all, and not once did he look back while flying.
With his strength, and with the divine ability "Wither" taking effect, as long as he focused on retreating, no demonic king could intercept him.
Even though Phoenix Ling'er was so enraged that she felt like her heart would explode, there was nothing she could do.
!!!
The endless heaven and earth spiritual energy surged, the body guarding flame shield wrapped around him, and the nebula body also kept striking out, blocking all the attacks from the demonic kings behind him.
Whoosh~
A few breaths later, Liu Yu successfully returned to the district city.
Seeing this, no matter how unwilling Phoenix Ling'er was, she could only stop here.
"Damn it!!"
She clenched her silver teeth. When had she ever suffered such humiliation? Yet at this moment, there was nothing she could do to the other side.
"Hmph~"
"I remember you!"
In the end, Phoenix Ling'er could only glare at Liu Yu hatefully before retreating helplessly.
"Victory!"
"Qingyang true lord is mighty!!!"
When Liu Yu returned to the district city, he was greeted by a tsunami-like wave of cheers, as if he were a hero returning in triumph.
Looking around, tens of thousands of cultivators were fired up, and many had fanatic looks in their eyes.
First, Ink Plum true lord fought Yellow Brow demonic king to a standstill. Then Liu Yu swept through the demonic beasts, killing two and severely injuring one. The depressed morale caused by losing the city and territory was now completely wiped away.
The cultivation world prized heroism, and strong personal power really could reverse the situation in battle.
So when the leader displayed such overwhelming strength, the clouds of gloom in the hearts of the tens of thousands of cultivators were instantly cleared, and they became optimistic about the future again.
"The hearts of the people can be used."
Seeing this scene, Liu Yu felt quite gratified. A faint smile appeared on his face as he gently nodded to the sect disciples in important positions.
Just after he landed, several teammates also came forward to welcome him.
"After twenty years without seeing you, Friend Qingyang, your bearing is even better than before."
"At this point, I, Huang, am also hard pressed to match you."
Yellow Brow spoke in praise, but toward the end his tone carried a sigh, and a trace of bitterness appeared at the corners of his mouth.
He had considered himself second only to the others in the team, and originally should have gone up to fight, but after weighing the pros and cons, he had kept silent.
He had not expected that the unremarkable Ink Plum would actually have the courage to meet the enemy. This made him feel somewhat ashamed.
"Those twenty-one demonic kings only seemed numerous and powerful. In truth, they're not as strong as imagined."
"Friends, rest assured. Phoenix Ling'er will naturally be held back by Liu. You only need to deal with the other demonic kings."
"Right now, with our four-stage top-tier battle formation, we can defend by relying on the formation, while the enemy now has only eighteen demonic kings left who can fight."
"As long as we proceed steadily and securely, it can be said to be foolproof."
After exchanging a few compliments, Liu Yu's expression turned serious, and he spoke in a solemn tone.
Hearing this, all the true lords present nodded.
