Fu Qingjin's expression changed. He was no longer able to drink any more alcohol in his cup.
The other Foundation Establishment cultivators heard this too and immediately connected the dots. Was the Soaring Dragon ship the one Jiang Shancheng had brought with him? Just Now, Begonia had left with him! Why had she gone to the Green Vine mountain? Had they all fallen to the daemon's hands already?
The Green Ruins sword was drawn from its sheath. Fu Qingjin fused with the sword and turned into a streak of green light, disappearing into the horizon. The other members of the Demon Slayer could not sit still either. They all took off and followed closely behind.
News of what had happened upstairs spread downstairs very quickly, leading to an uproar.
"Haitang!" Hwa Seung-zan cried out involuntarily. He no longer possessed his usual composure and elegance. He immediately took off. If the woman he had let down died to the daemons because of him, he would never be able to forgive himself.
"Are we still going to continue?" Li Qingshan looked around. The faces of the Demon Slayer disciples were filled with fury, as well as a sliver of fear. The strength and arrogance of the daemons had deeply shocked them. As for the disciples of the academy, they could not help but feel some sympathy for the loss of their own kind. After all, they were all humans.
"Let's end it here. We'll call it a draw. There will obviously be a time when we fight again in the future." Jin Feipeng glanced at Li Qingshan deeply.
Li Qingshan did not mind. He returned to his seat and sat down. The primary disciples all congratulated him on his victory, but they were rather absent-minded. After all, compared to the lives of several Foundation Establishment cultivators and the battle between humans and daemons, the competition at the banquet was just a side dish to the wine.
Li Qingshan felt helpless. He felt like he had completely stolen the limelight. However, the competition here had always been a boring game to distract him. He could finally focus completely. He placed it on the Soaring Dragon ship.
The wind whistled past his ears.
The Duality Formation of Disintegration. After absorbing and disintegrating who knew how many attacks, the Green Vine mountain shone with dazzling light. Everything became blurry, illuminating a range of a hundred kilometers like it was daytime.
"How much longer do you think you have? Only then can we break the formation? "
Li Qingshan stood at the bow of the ship with the flag in his hand. He stared at the light and asked without turning his head.
Although it was just a glimpse, the speed of Fu Qingjin's flying sword was still far beyond his expectations. According to his estimation, even if he used the Wind God's Wings, he would not be able to catch up. Was this the power of a magic treasure? In other words, it wouldn't take long for him to arrive here. At that time. This meant that the outcome had been decided. His plan to kill the Green Vine Elder had failed once again.
"I don't know. But I don't have much spiritual power left. " Begonia clicks on the helm, and a picture of the Reiki reserves appears. There is only one-fifth left.
Before the spear could break the shield, it had already exhausted all its strength.
"What do you think, wretched daemon? There's nothing you can do!" The Green Vine Elder stood on the top of the mountain and bellowed out.
"However, there's still one last move!" Begonia suddenly said.
"What move?" Li Qingshan suddenly turned around.
"It's right beneath your feet."
"Isn't this a decoration?" Li Qingshan lowered his head and studied the dragon head sculpture on the bow of the ship.
"Of course not. This is the largest main cannon of the Soaring Dragon ship, the Dragon's Roar! A single attack takes up tremendous amounts of spiritual power, and it takes a lot of time to prepare as well. It's completely built for destroying structures and formations. "
"Why didn't you say that earlier?"
"It's too close. The ship won't be able to withstand the recoil."
"Then why are you saying it now?"
"I want to." Begonia smiled, recovering some of her grace as a sect master.
"Then show me the power of the Dragon's Roar!"
All of the attacks stopped, but the rumbles still seemed to linger in his head. Yu Shukuang, who had fled to the bottom of the mountain but was blocked by the formations, gazed at the sky in surprise. All he saw was the Soaring Dragon ship slowly rising into the air. Before long, it had vanished into the clouds.
"Did you make it?"
Before he had even finished speaking, a white pillar of light descended from above, piercing the clouds and directly striking the Duality Formation of Disintegration. The pillar of light was so huge that it could not help but make people think of the legendary pillar.
The clouds parted, revealing the Soaring Dragon ship above the clouds. The dragon head on the bow opened its huge mouth and let out a furious roar!
The pillar of light no longer vanished in a flash. Instead, it was continuous, channeling all of its power into it. The Duality Formation of Disintegration trembled, no longer able to disperse the power completely. It had reached a saturation point, and rings of light dispersed into the surroundings like ripples.
On the other side of the pillar of light, the Soaring Dragon ship trembled as well, creaking and rocking about.
The spear struck the shield. If the shield did not shatter, the spear would snap.
"Can you break through it?" Li Qingshan called out.
"That's hard to say." Begonia frowned as she watched her spiritual power rapidly deplete.
Glancing around, her eyes narrowed. All she saw was a speck of green light in the sea of clouds.
At the same time, Fu Qingjin also saw the dazzling streak of white light. He frowned and powered the Green Ruins sword even more urgently.
"I'll have to trouble you with one last thing." Li Qingshan's voice rang out clearly in Begonia's ears.
"Do you want to run? This ship can't fly fast! "
"Please help me collect all the puppets and cannons. I want to pack them up and take them away!" Li Qingshan had already learnt that the Soaring Dragon ship could not shrink or expand, nor could it be stuffed into his hundred treasures pouch. However, the tremendous number of puppets and powerful cannons on the ship were all impressive spoils of war.
Begonia had no idea how to react. Was this guy really a daemon? She controlled the puppets to dismantle all the cannons before gathering them on the deck and stowing them away in her hundred treasures pouch.
"Let's go down." A cold light flashed through Li Qingshan's eyes.
"What did you say?"
"I said fly down!"
"You're crazy. Do you know how much this ship is worth?" Begonia finally understood what he meant and was taken aback.
"I don't care how much it's worth. It's not like it's my ship!" Li Qingshan smiled resplendently.
"Fine!" Begonia felt helpless. What could she do when her life was in his hands? However, she became excited for some reason. Afterwards, all of the levitation formations on the Soaring Dragon ship vanished, and it fell back into the restraints of gravity. All of its propulsion changed directions, rushing towards the ground as quickly as it could.
The Soaring Dragon ship descended faster and faster. Li Qingshan stood at the prow of the ship, waving the banner in the whistling wind. The wind became even more violent, sweeping up the Soaring Dragon ship and making it descend even faster.
Under the recoil of the Dragon's Roar, the indestructible Soaring Dragon ship collapsed bit by bit. The furnace in the core groaned in pain.
"Oh no!" Fu Qingjin watched on helplessly and paled in fright.
The Green Vine Elder squinted his eyes and did his best to peer through the scorching light, gazing at the sky. However, within the surging light of spiritual qi, his soul sense was useless, and his vision was greatly obstructed. He could vaguely make out a black speck that grew larger and larger.
Fu Qingjin's voice rang out from the jade tablet in his hand, "Run!"
In that moment, the Soaring Dragon ship that was several hundred meters in length collided with the Duality Formation of Disintegration like a small mountain.
Time seemed to slow down. As soon as the Soaring Dragon ship came into contact with the barrier of light, it began to collapse and disintegrate, vanishing inch by inch. Only when the furnace in the centre of the ship exploded did the remaining energy erupt all at once. However, before it could unleash its power, it was swallowed up by the Duality Formation of Disintegration as well.
The Duality Formation of Disintegration dimmed, twisting as it shrank towards the top of the mountain. It turned into a ball of light and gradually swelled up. In the end, it suddenly lit up, turning the surroundings white.
Like a stomach that had been stuffed to its limit, it suddenly exploded after contracting violently. The undigested energy turned into thousands of streaks of light, erupting hysterically. It was like a hundred suns had risen up from the ground.
It illuminated the Green Vine Elder's terrified face snow-white. He seemed like a mortal as he raised his hand instinctively, as if that was enough to block the danger. He was swallowed up by the rapidly expanding ball of light.
Boom!
Only after what felt like a very long time did a rumble ring out. The shockwave dispersed the clouds, and the sky was filled with stars, dazzling and resplendent.
Fu Qingjin stopped moving and stared at the sight before him in shock. Everything had vanished. The Soaring Dragon ship, the Green Vine Elder, and the Green Vine mountain.
The Green Vine mountain had vanished, reduced to a huge, spherical pit. Only the foot of the mountain remained, which served as proof of its existence.
The other Foundation Establishment cultivators rushed over afterwards, and they were all dumbfounded. Their expressions were the same as their disciples, furious and fearful!
"Shancheng! Haitang! Haitang! "Hwa Seung-zan brushed past Fu Qingjin and called out anxiously.
The ground where the Green Vine mountain used to be at the foot of the mountain trembled slightly.
"Haitang, is that you?" Hwa Seung-zan rushed over, and a streak of green light shot over. Fu Qingjin stood there with his sword in hand.
The soil flipped over, and Yu Shukuang stuck his head out. Seeing the tip of the sword before him, he leapt in fright.
Afterwards, the disciples of the Green Vine mountain crawled out one after another. They were unable to leave the Green Vine mountain, so they dug out a hole together and hid underground. Even if the daemons got through the formation and could not see them, they probably could not be bothered with searching for them. As a result, they were buried underground, but they managed to survive.
"Hmm? Where's the Green Vine mountain?" Yu Shukuang looked around and saw the pit. He was taken aback before realising what had happened. He was dumbfounded too. He still had lingering fears. If the pit had grown a few times larger, it would have reached where they were hiding.
Fu Qingjin sheathed his sword, while Hwa Seung-zan was disappointed.
"Chengzan, I'm here." Begonia emerged from behind a mountain.
"Haitang, that's fantastic. I had thought you- you weren't injured, were you?" Hwa Seung-zan flew over. His face was filled with joy.
Begonia's heart warmed up. After spending so many years together, she had not been heartless after all. It was just a pity that they were not fated to be together.
"Where's Shancheng?"
Their eyes met. Hwa Seung-zan sighed as well. It was not that he did not have any feelings for her, but he was unable to change his mind. Accepting her feelings when he already had someone else he loved was disrespectful to her. It would only make her even sadder in the end.
"What about the daemon?" Fu Qingjin interrupted.
"Shancheng died to protect me," Begonia said slowly with a desolate expression.
In her story, the daemon used her to threaten Jiang Shancheng, forcing him to control the Soaring Dragon ship to attack the Green Vine mountain. In the end, when the daemon wanted to silence her, Jiang Shancheng stood forward and kept Li Qingshan busy, allowing her to survive.
It was said that women were natural actors, and Begonia was one of the best of the best. She weaved a perfect set of lies, completely absolving herself of responsibility.
Who knew where the daemon called North Moon had fled to. However, he had left behind a few things in her possession.
