Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 523 - 529: Repel the Enemy

”Itʼs all right, even if we canʼt beat them, we can shake them off.”

They could take turns controlling the Spirit Boat, and with Spells, Talismans and other interferences, they should be able to distance themselves from their pursuers.

”Besides, the cave we hid in is very deep. Although we will feel the heat, we should be able to hold out.” Li Chenghuo said with forced composure, ”The mountains are full of caves, and they canʼt possibly check every single one.”

Perhaps it was Li Chenghuoʼs reasoning that slightly relaxed the tense mood of the group.

The terrifying flames rapidly spread in all directions, and within just half an hour, the fire raged throughout the entire forest, staining half the sky with its orange-red hue while ash fluttered everywhere.

Forests that took hundreds to thousands of years to grow were reduced to ash by Liu Chengfeng in merely an hour or two.

”Hmph! You think by hiding, I wonʼt be able to find you?”

Liu Chengfeng formed hand seals, and various types of Devil Beasts emerged from the sea of fire, burrowing into every hidden space under his control.

Li Chenghuo and the others were unaware of this until the Spiritual Fire appeared in front of them, alerting them to the severity of their predicament.

”Iʼm afraid we canʼt hide any longer!” Li Chenghuo communicated to the three companions, arranged what each of them had to do, and then waited for the right moment to burst out!

”Wait!” Li Chenglin suddenly spoke up, interrupting the others who were ready to spring into action, his face excited as he picked up the positioning device, ”Look quickly, Lady Xuan is on her way to us!”

”As long as Lady Xuan arrives, we wonʼt have to worry about our safety!” Li Chengwu said, his face lit with excitement.

Li Darong, who had been wearing a gloomy expression, also revealed a smile.

Even though Li Zhixuan was only at the Middle Golden Core Stage, her strength gave them a great sense of security.

”Distant water canʼt put out a nearby fire. Lady Xuan is still far from us, and that doesnʼt help our current predicament!” Li Chenghuo calmed down and said, ”Continue with the plan we discussed, but make sure the direction we move in is towards Lady Xuan!”

”Okay!”

Once they had made up their minds, Li Chenghuo shattered the Fire Spirit and the four of them quickly dashed out, controlling the Spirit Boat as they fled into the distance.

”Iʼve found you!” Liu Chengfeng snarled as he closed the gap, not caring about his two fellow sect brothers at all.

In fact, they didnʼt want to continue the chase. It would be a waste of time to continue pursuing them instead of returning to the Spirit Land where they could compete with other Cultivators for Spiritual Objects.

However, Liu Chengfengʼs position at Shen Leishan was too unique, and they were concerned he might encounter trouble. After all, four early Golden Core Cultivators could possibly kill a Middle Golden Core Stage cultivator, so they hurried to follow.

The chase left both parties completely exhausted, running purely on fumes.

”Weʼre about to meet up with Lady Xuan, donʼt give up!”

But the constant fleeing had overwhelmed the fourʼs meridians with Mana, forcing them to use only a portion of Spirit Stones to power the Spirit Boat. This inevitably slowed down the boatʼs speed.

The gap between the two sides was closing steadily!

Liu Chengfeng eventually accepted the goodwill of his fellow sect members and joined them in the pursuit of Li Chenghuo and the others, and to maintain a good condition, he even frenziedly consumed Instant Spirit Pills.

One should know that Instant Spirit Pills that can instantly replenish a large amount of Mana are extremely precious Spirit Pills, unobtainable by ordinary Cultivators.

Yet, Liu Chengfeng was consuming them like this and even shared them with his two fellow disciples.

”All of you, go to hell!” Liu Chengfeng, accustomed to arrogance, didnʼt bother with the trivialities, solely focused on capturing Li Chenghuo and his group.

The terrifying Wind Fire Greatsword swung through the air, and it was only with their combined efforts that Li Chenghuo and the others were barely able to fend it off.

”Donʼt engage, run!”

”Thinking of running? Nobody is leaving!”

Three astonishingly powerful spells hurled toward them, but Li Chenghuo and his companions, despite using all their methods, couldnʼt completely fend them off, and in the end, it was only thanks to the Spirit Boatʼs Defensive Spiritual Light that they were left unharmed.

”Are you all alright?”

Just as Li Chenghuo and the others were falling into despair, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

”Lady Xuan! Youʼve finally arrived!” Li Chenghuo couldnʼt contain his excitement, and tears even welled up in his eyes.

”Hmm, from now on, leave it to me.”

With just one glance, Li Zhixuan knew that among the three of them, Liu Chengfeng, who had the lowest realm, was the actual leader; if she injured him, they would retreat on their own.

”Are you the famed Sword Cultivator from the Li family?” The expression on Liu Chengfengʼs face became much more solemn after Li Zhixuan appeared.

Clearly, he felt quite a bit of pressure emanating from her.

”My name is Li Zhixuan, and I have a sword technique Iʼd like you to experience, I wonder if you dare to accept?”

In Li Zhixuanʼs calm tone, there was a hint of disdain which Liu Chengfeng, arrogant and prideful as he was, couldnʼt bear to tolerate.

He immediately responded, ”Whatever moves you have, just bring them on!”

”Then, my friend, youʼd better be careful!”

Li Zhixuan summoned her life-bound Magic Sword, lifting it to her chest, then suddenly opened her eyes and a burst of cold light shot forth, its force unstoppable as if it could pierce through all of existence.

”This sword is called ʼSlaying Immortal!ʼ”

This sword contained Li Zhixuanʼs full murderous intent; the Sword Qi seemed to resound with the roars of countless beings, causing even the heavens and earth to lose their luster.

Liu Chengfeng, who had seemed so composed before, suddenly narrowed his eyes, stunned and immobilized as if he had been scared silly.

”Junior Brother Liu! Quickly activate the life-saving Spiritual Object given to you by Master Yun Lei!” the elder at the Golden Core Late Stage urgently reminded.

Even he wasnʼt fully certain he could survive under this sword!

At the same time, he inwardly shook his head; with such a temperament, the fact that Liu had cultivated to his current level must have depended entirely on his natural talent, but to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?

In his view, that would be difficult!

As for escaping from the Sword Qi? Unless one was an expert in Escape Skills, ordinary cultivators would not be able to break free, and running around in panic would lead to only one outcome: death!

Clang!

Liu Chengfeng snapped back to his senses and timely activated a fourth-tier Defensive Talisman. The Spirit Light fluctuated wildly, terrifying the Shen Leishan trio, but fortunately, until the Sword Qi dissipated, it did not break through the barrier.

”Junior Brother Liu, letʼs go!”

The elder didnʼt have time for more, fearful that Li Zhixuan could unleash a second sword strike, he hurriedly took Liu Chengfeng and fled the scene.

As for the other fellow disciple, he had no time to care for him any longer; whether he could escape or not depended on his own abilities.

Li Zhixuan did not pursue, as she had also reached her limit!

Racing at high speed for over a thousand li had already exhausted most of her mana, and if it hadnʼt been for the top-grade Spirit Revitalizing Pills refined by Li Zhirui, she might not have had enough mana to unleash that strike.

”Lady Xuan, you are so powerful!” Li Chengwu looked at her with a face full of admiration, and the other three felt similarly.

”Alright, we should leave this place quickly!”

With such a commotion, it was possible that cultivators were already heading their way, hoping to take advantage of the situation.
