After realizing that Lu Qingshan was an extremely ruthless sword cultivator, the grade-seven Vicious Beasts began to hesitate in their actions.
Tian Mang alone should have been enough to kill a level-six sword cultivator.
Tian Mang had brought these people along because there were only two of them, Mo Yan and Lu Qingshan.
They could either chase after Mo Yan or Lu Qingshan. They had to choose one of the two.
They couldn't possibly let Tian Mang, who was His Highness, chase after Lu Qingshan while the others waited to watch the show, could they?
Compared to Mo Yan, Lu Qingshan was obviously more difficult to deal with.
Therefore, the Demons chose to split into two groups. The group with more people would follow His Highness Tian Mang to chase after Lu Qingshan.
In the eyes of the Demons, this was just a formality of a chase. It wouldn't be long before that sword cultivator's head was cut off.
They would never have thought that this chase would turn into a nightmare right after it had just begun.
They were not familiar with Lu Qingshan's background and were too anxious for success. Coupled with their overconfidence, they suffered greatly under Lu Qingshan's sudden counterattack.
In the blink of an eye, three grade-seven Vicious Beasts had already fallen under Lu Qingshan's flying sword.
What terrified them the most was that although Lu Qingshan faced His Highness Tian Mang's attacks with great difficulty, killing them was as easy as chopping vegetables. It was just a matter of one sword strike.
"Stay where you are and wait for orders. Leave this sword cultivator to me." Tian Mang also saw their awkward situation and was very rational. He decisively shouted.
It was obvious that the grade-seven Vicious Beasts' souls would not be of much help in this chase. They would just be sacrificing their lives for nothing.
The Demons all had three souls. It seemed like a lot, but in reality, each soul was extremely precious.
If it was not necessary, even he did not want to see his clansmen sacrifice their souls for nothing.
When the Vicious Beasts heard Tian Mang's order, they all breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stopped what they were doing.
"Don't be so arrogant, you won't be proud for long!" Tian Mang stared at Lu Qingshan coldly. He shook his arms and they turned into a pair of golden wings. Like two golden swords, they cut through the void and slashed toward Lu Qingshan.
Although Tianmang hadn't shown off his pet beast yet, he could already tell that it was a ferocious bird.
The two golden "Divine Swords" slashed down from the sky. Before they even got close, Lu Qingshan already felt a feeling of being cut apart.
He hurriedly used the Shapeless Sword Escape Art and transformed into a sword beam again. He soared into the sky for dozens of miles, and only then did he manage to avoid this powerful attack.
Whoosh!
The sound of space being torn apart rang out again.
Lu Qingshan, who had just escaped from danger, suddenly turned around and discovered that Tianmang was already close behind him.
Skylight's speed was too fast. Even if Lu Qingshan used Formless Sword Escape to open up some distance, Skylight would still be able to catch up very quickly.
The strength of Level Eight could not be faked. It was far from what Lu Qingshan, who was at Level Six, could compare to.
Tian Mang's eyes shot out a cold light. He was still some distance away from Lu Qingshan, but he had already used his spell. He opened his mouth and roared. Several golden rays of light danced in the air and all of them charged toward Lu Qingshan.
"You are indeed a genius, but in the end, strength speaks for itself in this world." At this point, Tian Mang had no choice but to acknowledge Lu Qingshan's strength.
In his line of sight, Lu Qingshan quickly turned around. A dark longsword appeared in his hand, and he countered his attack with a backhand.
"Is my attack that easy to block?" he sneered.
But in the next instant, his eyebrows twitched as he felt a dangerous aura approaching.
He saw that the dark longsword in Lu Qingshan's hand was suddenly surging with demonic Qi. The demonic might was intimidating.
"This is?!" His heart thumped violently.
Lu Qingshan used Demon Suppression.
Boom!
He activated his Demon Suppression power and swept it across. The divine rays of light were instantly shattered.
This was not the end. Lu Qingshan dove toward Tian Mang, the Demon Suppression in his hand glowing.
He used his strongest sword and was determined to kill Tianmang.
Tian Mang's face was extremely gloomy. He felt threatened by Demon Suppression. He was both puzzled and shocked.
A Realm Six cultivator could actually make him feel threatened? How absurd was that?
In his line of sight, Lu Qingshan was charging toward him at an extremely fast speed, the tip of his sword flashing.
Tian Mang's eyelids twitched. He formed a seal with both hands. A creature formed by golden divine rays of light flew out, its body glowing with light, to meet Lu Qingshan's sword.
Bang!
This was a huge collision. The Demon Suppression erupted with all of its divine power and collided with the creature formed by golden light.
The energy between the two surged out continuously.
"You have endless tricks up your sleeve. You even have such a divine sword. Even I have to give in!" Tian Mang's cold voice came from the divine light.
Lu Qingshan's expression changed slightly.
As Tian Mang spoke, he had already silently arrived in front of him and launched an attack.
At this time, Tian Mang's killing intent was extremely cold. He wanted to completely kill this genius of the human race to prevent future troubles.
Boom!
His palm was attached with golden divine feathers. The terrifying power was enough to cut a mountain into pieces as he slashed toward Lu Qingshan.
This was a fatal blow.
"It's time to end this." Tian Mang sneered. His patience had reached its limit.
Suddenly, the long sword in Lu Qingshan's hand glowed again and struck out lightly.
Whoosh!
An ethereal sword trajectory cut through the sky. It was dreamy and illusory, like a line of frost.
Following closely behind the line of frost, a continuous stream of sword qi spread out.
Majestic sword qi wantonly rampaged on the sword.
Winter snow floated up and gathered on the Demon Suppressing Sword.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The snowflakes scattered, sparkling and translucent as they met Tian Mang's palm.
Bang!
The supreme power fluctuated, and Tian Mang's powerful attack was completely neutralized.
The divine radiance circled around the snowflakes and shot out at Tian Mang with even more ferocity.
Secret Art: Winter Snow Welcome.
Tian Mang was caught off guard by the divine radiance's circling attack. Since he was so close to Lu Qingshan, he naturally suffered the most terrifying and direct impact.
His robes were instantly shredded. His body was sliced by the divine radiance's sword qi, and he was sent flying while bleeding.
"Not bad, not bad. Not only did you exchange blows with me, you even managed to injure me. Impressive." After stabilizing himself, Tian Mang looked at Lu Qingshan with anger and shock.
His body was stained with blood, but his injuries weren't that serious.
However, his gaze had turned extremely gloomy.
Not only was he unable to take down a Realm Six sword cultivator, but he was also injured by Tian Mang's counterattack. His body was bleeding profusely.
Tian Mang felt humiliated to be in such a sorry state.
He let out a long howl and divine feathers appeared on his body. Finally, he used a secret technique to activate his pet beast's divine beast ability. His arms turned into divine wings that glowed brightly as they struck out continuously.
Lu Qingshan put away Demon Suppression, his brows tightly knitted together.
His Secret Art and Demon Suppression Divine Power had only caused light injuries to Tian Mang …
The difficulty of killing Tian Mang was much higher than he had imagined!
And the method Tian Mang used in his rage terrified Lu Qingshan even more.
He didn't dare to take it head-on. First, he helped Peach Blossom overcome her tribulation. Then, he slashed twice with Demon Suppression. The origin energy in his body was greatly depleted. He couldn't afford to squander it without restraint.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Lu Qingshan used Invisible Sword Evasion and quickly dodged the divine radiance that shot out.
Every time the divine radiance missed, it would fly across the sky. Some landed on a mountain peak and immediately shattered it, turning it into ashes.
One could imagine how terrifying such an attack would be if it landed on his body.
Bang!
Although Lu Qingshan's speed was fast, Tian Mang's divine radiance was endless. Finally, a divine radiance caught up with Lu Qingshan's dodging figure.
Even though Lu Qingshan reacted immediately and blocked with his sword, he was still shaken to the point that his qi and blood were in turmoil, and he coughed up large mouthfuls of blood.
Seeing this, Tian Mang snorted coldly. He was not satisfied with the result of the battle.
He was only a Deity Transformation cultivator, yet he had failed time and time again. Naturally, there was a flame of rage burning in his heart.
Just as he was about to strengthen his attack, he was suddenly shocked.
A dragon's roar and a phoenix's cry suddenly rang out.
Lu Qingshan was holding a long sword that was as red as jade.
The illusory image of a dragon and phoenix flew out in the shape of a blazing light. It was breathtaking, and the flames were boiling.
Tian Mang felt that something was wrong. He immediately used a secret technique. Golden light circulated in his palm, and divine feathers stood up one by one. He hurriedly met the attack. With a boom, he clashed with the illusory image of the dragon and phoenix.
As a result, he groaned and staggered back. There were burn marks on his palm, and it was so hot that his face was distorted.
"Another divine sword. How many of them do you have?" He was injured again. This infuriated Tian Mang. His tone was extremely cold, and the mocking smile on his face was completely gone.
In Lu Qingshan's hand, the Blazing Red Dragon Sparrow shone with divine light, and its divine power appeared.
As expected, it was another divine sword. It could not be faked.
As Lu Qingshan's cultivation base grew stronger, the Blazing Red Dragon Sparrow's divine power was also gradually unsealed. Although it could not be compared to Demon Suppression, it was definitely not to be underestimated.
However, what really caught Tian Mang's attention was the Demon Suppression that Lu Qingshan had unleashed earlier. It was shrouded in Devil Qi, and not only was it not weaker than him in a direct confrontation, it had even inflicted light injuries on him.
'What exactly is that thing? Why is it filled with my clan's Devil Qi? Also, I have a vague feeling that I've heard of this sword somewhere before … 'He kept pondering in his heart, but his movements became more and more ferocious.
Golden divine patterns appeared on Tian Mang's back. Then, he grew wings, and his speed soared.
Lu Qingshan did not say a word. He decisively retreated far away. Moreover, he kept changing his position in the air, zigzagging to avoid Tian Mang.
If it were not for the fact that one's strength was superior, the one who ran would have a great advantage in a chase.
This was because one would not know the direction he was heading in, nor would they know when to change directions.
This was also why sword cultivators were especially feared.
This was because sword cultivators' flying swords were extraordinarily fast. They could maneuver and turn as they pleased. Few could escape from a flying sword.
If one could not defeat another person, they could at least run. If they encountered a sword cultivator, they might be able to defeat him. However, if they could not defeat him, it would be harder than ascending to the heavens to escape …
Under such circumstances, unless one had absolute confidence in winning, it would be best not to provoke a sword cultivator.
Tian Mang was not a sword cultivator. He walked the path of a human beast cultivator. His hunting abilities were not outstanding.
However, his cultivation base was too high.
Hence, even though Lu Qingshan's speed was far superior to most Body Integration cultivators, and he kept changing his position, he still could not shake off Tian Mang's pursuit.
The wings on his back danced in the air, sending out waves of light to attack Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan used the Shapeless Sword Shift to dodge. If he could not dodge in time, he could only block with his sword.
However, every time he blocked, his internal organs would be shaken by the powerful force, and he would spit out a mouthful of blood.
Just like that, he fought and spat out blood. Before long, the two of them were far away from the ancient temple. They plunged deeper into the great wilderness.
.....
Before the dragon wall.
Chi Tian's eyes were as gloomy as water as he looked at the scene in the water mirror.
There, Lu Qingshan was being pursued by Tian Mang. Blood kept spitting out of his mouth, and his injuries were worsening.
Chi Tian's heart sank to the bottom.
"Greedy, greedy! Greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant! He already reaped such great rewards in the temple, but he didn't even let go of a stone tablet at the entrance. Now, he's attracted Tian Mang's attention! "
Chi Tian muttered angrily. He was anxious about Lu Qingshan's predicament, but he had forgotten that apart from him and the Heart Demons, who would have thought that there would be Heart Demons residing in the great wilderness?
"No matter how powerful he is, he won't be able to escape Tian Mang's pursuit …" The sunlight in Chi Tian's left eye became more and more resplendent.
"No, I have to act. Otherwise, he's dead for sure." After hesitating for a moment, Chi Tian made his decision.
A Realm Six against an Realm Eight. Was there even a need to think about the outcome?
His body blurred, and his massive figure rose from the abyss of the southern shore, leaving behind a shadow that blotted out the sun.
After he left, the dragon wall returned to normal. The water rippled like a mirror, and no more images appeared.
Chi Tian muttered to himself.
"You better hold out until I get there. Otherwise, even I won't be able to save you."
