Seeing the three black-robed cultivators fleeing in three different directions, Lu Qingshan snorted coldly. "Can you escape?"
With a thought, the Dragon Sparrow, River of Forgetfulness, and Peach Blossom chased after the black-robed leader.
To shoot a man, shoot the horse first. To capture bandits, capture the leader first.
The sword light streaked across the sky, appearing exceptionally dazzling in the night.
No matter how fast the black-robed leader's escape technique was, how could it be faster than the flying sword?
Then, the Dragon Sparrow was the first to catch up to the black-robed leader.
The sword light slashed at the black-robed leader who had turned into a wind sparrow and was frantically fleeing.
However, even though Lu Qingshan had already attached great importance to the black-robed leader, his performance was still greatly beyond Lu Qingshan's expectations.
First of all, the black-robed leader's escape technique was really fast, very fast, even faster than Lu Qingshan's escape technique.
It could even be said that it had already exceeded the scope of ordinary escape techniques. If Lu Qingshan's guess was correct, this should be a fierce beast ability that was displayed with the help of a secret beast cultivation method.
The trouble with being too fast was that Lu Qingshan only had a few opportunities to attack.
This was because the flying sword always needed to return to "recharge".
In fact, the black-robed leader's physical strength was also far beyond his imagination.
As a result, when he fled, he was not too worried about the pursuit of Lu Qingshan's flying sword.
Therefore, Lu Qingshan's flying sword had actually slashed the black-robed leader's body several times, but the strange thing was that he was not injured at all. His body did not even sway.
This was the first time Lu Qingshan had encountered an enemy who was faster than him and whose physical body was strong enough to ignore his flying sword for a short period of time.
When these two aspects were combined, the hunting ability that sword cultivators were so proud of became a joke.
Lu Qingshan consecutively shot dozens of swords at the black-robed leader's body. Apart from the last few swords that caused his body to pause slightly and seem to have suffered some minor injuries, the other effects were mediocre.
The black-robed leader, who had looked down on Lu Qingshan just now, finally had a trace of fear in his eyes that had always been arrogant and conceited.
"I underestimated him. These flying swords do have some power." The black-robed leader muttered, "After all, how could he become the Sword Sect's Young Master without some real skills?"
"That's right …" He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "We were just unlucky this time. It was supposed to be a sure-fire revenge, but we ran into something like this!"
Seeing Lu Qingshan coming at him with his sword once again, the black-robed leader was unwilling, but he was still rational.
With a thought, the Origin Energy in his body surged. Then, the wings of the Azure Bird behind him flapped once again. It was as if the wings were real, and it swept up a gust of violent wind.
The strong wind brought buoyancy and thrust, and his speed increased by another level.
With a twist of his body, he completely shook off the pursuit of Lu Qingshan's flying sword and disappeared from Lu Qingshan's field of vision.
.....
Lu Qingshan floated in the air and looked in the direction where the black-robed leader had disappeared. He frowned and was deep in thought.
The cultivators in Jianping City, who were originally extremely nervous, now had a new lease of life. In just a few dozen breaths, the situation had turned upside down …
The ferocious demon army was completely annihilated, and one of the three black-robed cultivators who came menacingly had died, and the other two had escaped.
A great victory!
All the cultivators could not help but become fanatical and cheer.
'This is the strength of us human cultivators!'
The city lord of Jianping City hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still led a few cultivators out of the city and flew to Lu Qingshan's side. He bowed respectfully to him and said nervously, "Young Master Lu …"
One could not blame him for being so immature and nervous when facing a patrolling cultivator with his cultivation base and age.
However, the patrolling cultivator in front of him could not be treated as an ordinary patrolling cultivator.
The fiendish cultivator earlier had directly pointed out Lu Qingshan's identity. Moreover, Lu Qingshan's Dragon Sparrow characteristics were too obvious.
If the patrolling cultivator in front of him was really the Sword Sect's young master, then he would have to face the number one person in the Sword Sect and even the entire human race's younger generation.
A 23-year-old sword cultivator at the peak of the Soul Formation realm.
The rumors about the Sword Sect's young master, Lu Qingshan, were like thunder in the ears of the people in the Central Spirit Region.
He was born with humble roots. He had once defeated a Nascent Soul cultivator in the Seven Regions Dao Discussion and successfully won the championship. From there, he entered the Sword Sect. He had once defeated cultivators of the same realm in the Dao Sect's Grand Competition. He had once defeated six realm sword cultivators in Zhenjiang with his Nascent Soul cultivation base and won the title of the strongest fourth realm. He had once jumped through the Void Refinement and Soul Formation realms in a year, and even became the Dao Sect's young master at the age of 23.
In seven years, he had completed the transformation from a grassroots cultivator in a small border city to the Sword Sect's young master.
There were too many legends about him, and he had long been a mythical figure by the cultivators in the world.
Therefore, even though the City Lord of Jianping City was a cultivator of the seventh realm, he still did not have any confidence in facing such a figure.
However, at the same time, the City Lord of Jianping City was ecstatic.
Ever since the Demons entered the region, he had been feeling uneasy all day long.
Even though the remaining great cultivators in the Central Spirit Region quickly responded and organized a counterattack, he was still very weak and extremely nervous.
This was because Longcheng Pass had already fallen, and there seemed to be no one in the Central Spirit Region who could support it.
But now, Lu Qingshan had appeared.
He was the young master of the Sword Sect.
For someone of such status to appear here at this moment as a patrolling cultivator, the significance of this was self-evident.
The Sword Sect was here!
That kind of feeling was like a ship drifting in the dark had found a lighthouse, or a traveler in the desert had found an oasis.
The City Lord of Jianping City was excited that he had finally found the person in charge. He finally had someone to rely on.
Who in the entire human race didn't know about the prestige of the Sword Sect?
Lu Qingshan waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Since the attackers have already escaped, the evacuation work can't stop. Continue."
The most important task in the rear area was to evacuate.
The earlier the evacuation was completed, the less thousands or even tens of thousands of cultivators would be sacrificed on the frontline battlefield.
What they were fighting for now was not time, but the lives of the human cultivators!
The City Lord of Jianping City naturally knew the priorities of the matter … After no longer doubting Lu Qingshan's identity, he lowered his voice and replied, "We understand."
In the following period of time, the temporarily stagnant flying ship began to move again.
The noisy sound rang out again.
Jianping City was just a microcosm of the western theater of operations.
At this moment, the rolling human army in the western region of the Central Spirit Region was like a hundred rivers returning to the sea. They were converging from various places to the eastern region of the Central Spirit Region behind the Long Night Mountain Range.
.....
The sky gradually turned white, and a ray of dawn shone down.
"Brother Qingshan deliberately let the Devil Cultivators go. There should be a deeper meaning, right? I just don't know when we should act again? "Mo Yan saw that Lu Qingshan had been closing his eyes and meditating since just now, so he leaned over and asked.
"Oh?" Lu Qingshan opened his eyes in surprise and raised his eyebrows.
"Others might not know about Brother Qingshan's methods, but how can I not know?" Mo Yan explained with a smile.
Not long ago, he had personally witnessed Lu Qingshan's sword attack from ten thousand miles away. Hence, he knew very well that Lu Qingshan's flying sword's shooting range was ten thousand miles beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
As long as the black-robed leader did not leave Lu Qingshan behind by ten thousand miles, Lu Qingshan could continue to pursue him.
Although Lu Qingshan's speed was slightly slower than the black-robed leader, the black-robed leader would definitely need a very long time to leave Lu Qingshan behind by ten thousand miles.
This period of time was enough for Lu Qingshan to launch hundreds and thousands of sword attacks.
It could be seen that only a few dozen sword attacks were enough to slightly injure the black-robed leader. Even if hundreds and thousands of sword attacks were not enough to kill him, it would not be far from it.
However, Lu Qingshan did not do so.
He was not willing to do his best?
That was impossible.
Mo Yan knew that Lu Qingshan was not such a person.
There was only one reason, and that was that Lu Qingshan was plotting something bigger.
"You know me well." Lu Qingshan smiled and did not deny it. "In my opinion, instead of waiting passively for the demonic cultivators to launch an attack and rushing over after receiving a request for help, it would be better to take the initiative to cause trouble for these demonic cultivators.
"We can't refuse a turtle that has delivered itself to our doorstep. This is a reckless waste of resources."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qingshan closed his eyes again.
In his mind, an imprint was moving quickly, incomparably clear.
"In order to attack Jianping City, they specially came from such a far place?" Seeing that this mark was already tens of thousands of miles away from Jianping City, but it still had no intention of stopping, Lu Qingshan opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "My luck is quite good.
"Our luck is not bad. Looks like we caught a big fish this time." Although he did not know the specific situation, he understood that the more extraordinary something was, the more involved it would be behind it.
In addition, it was quite strange and rare for demonic cultivators to launch an attack on a city. Lu Qingshan did not believe that there was nothing fishy about it.
Such a strange situation just had to happen to him.
His luck was indeed not bad.
As for that mark …
Peach Blossom: Indestructible.
Indestructible: The peach blossom is bright and dazzling.
Active: When activating this magical power and causing damage to the enemy, it can brand a peach blossom mark on the enemy and store a portion of the damage in the peach blossom mark for the next ten breaths.
The peach blossom mark will not exist for more than three days at most. It is difficult to detect and difficult to erase.
The Sword Master can detonate the peach blossom mark at any time while it exists.
The Sword Master can sense the peach blossom mark regardless of the distance.
…
This was the Peach Blossom magical power that Lu Qingshan used when he launched his first attack on the black-robed leader. It was also the reason why the black-robed leader felt that Lu Qingshan's flying sword had weakened and lacked lethality.
It did not weaken, but a large portion of the lethality was temporarily stored.
