Chapter 1790: Chapter 1787: Insta-Kill
But when the swordâs light cut through him, terror and despair flashed in the expertâs eyes because the Zilin Divine Armor on his body was as fragile as paper, and was easily shredded into pieces by the sword light!
"How is this possible? He is only at the Mid Sky Realm cultivation level, how could he shatter my Zilin Divine Armor in one strike? This is impossible!" At this moment, the expertâs mind went blank as he was completely engulfed by the sword light of the Mo Yu Sword!
When the sword light faded, Ling Feng stood panting in the void, while the expert from the Storm Sect had been torn to shreds by the Mo Yu Sword, vanishing completely into the void.
"Did I do this?" Ling Feng was somewhat surprised, looking at his hand and the Mo Yu Sword in it, feeling as if his connection with the sword had deepened.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng turned to face the solid blockade, biting his finger so that a drop of Blood of the Dragon God fell on the barrier of the blockade.
When the Blood of the Dragon God landed on the barrier, it acted like a solvent, melting a massive hole in the barrier.
Ling Feng cast a glance into the distance, then swiftly turned and slipped through the barrier, heading deeper into the starry sky.
An hour later, when Qiancheng arrived at the place where Ling Feng had fought, his expression was extremely grim. He had anticipated that Ling Feng would try to seize the opportunity to escape, but he hadnât expected Ling Feng to flee so quickly!
Not only had he instantly killed a Mid Sky Realm expert from the Storm Sect, but he had also unbelievably destroyed the barrier. Now Ling Feng had escaped right under their noses, which was simply a mockery of the Storm Sect!
Qianchengâs face was dark, and the atmosphere around him was very tense. No one dared to speak at this moment.
"In such a short time, he actually managed to kill our sectâs expert and destroy the blockade I painstakingly arranged. This guy is much more troublesome than Ximen Yu said!" It was a long while before Qiancheng spoke slowly.
"Judging from the aura at the scene, he is still at the Mid Sky Realm, but has already touched the threshold of the Later Stage of the Firmament Realm! He is a genius, a genius we all underestimated!" Qiancheng said in a deep voice. "This mistake was due to my command; I underestimated him, but..."
At this point, Qianchengâs face twisted into a sinister look, and he spoke with a gloomy voice, "I will place you on an equal footing, and I will let you feel my respect for you!"
Speaking of this, Qiancheng glanced around and said, "Although heâs left now, heâs only got an hourâs time. You all go chase after him now, make sure to find their trail!"
"Yes, my lord!" As the voices died away, dozens of figures scattered in all directions.
Qiancheng took a deep breath: "Also, notify the surrounding Storm Sect branches to keep a close watch and report immediately if they discover their whereabouts!"
As Qianchengâs orders were issued, soon there was no one left around him. He looked at the damaged barrier, involuntarily clenching his fist: "Lei Feng, is it? You will regret this, I will make you regret it!"
...
Meanwhile, Ling Feng had already discovered a luxurious airship midway. He concealed his presence and stealthily boarded the airship.
The speed of the airship was not much slower than Ling Fengâs, and from the looks of it, Ling Feng figured that the people aboard were definitely either wealthy or powerful, making it a safer bet!
Sneaking into an unused room, Ling Feng then released Ximen Shuang.
"Where is this?" Ximen Shuang looked around, a bit confused.
Ling Feng smiled and said, "Weâve broken through the blockade of the Storm Sect; now Iâm on an airship, and itâs quite luxurious. I reckon there are some people of high status on board, so weâre relatively safe for now."
Ximen Shuang noticed the roomâs dĂ©cor and the emblem on the walls, exclaiming excitedly, "This is... This is the emblem of the Canglan Commerce! Could this be a Canglan Commerce airship?"
Ling Feng blinked and asked, "Canglan Commerce, whatâs that?"
"Your time in the Ancient Ruins hasnât been long, so itâs understandable you donât know about Canglan Commerce!" Ximen Shuang sighed in relief, explaining, "Canglan Commerce is the largest commerce in the Ancient Ruins, with a very diverse business range and many gathered merchants. Our Ximen Family has also cooperated with them a lot!"
Ling Feng nodded thoughtfully, "It seems Canglan Commerce must be quite powerful then?"
"Very strong!" Ximen Shuang said, "Canglan Commerceâs foundation isnât weaker than our Ximen Familyâs, but their cohesion is far less since theyâre primarily focused on commerce and profits. Thatâs why, even though theyâre powerful, theyâre not one of the Three Great Powers of the Ancient Ruins!"
"Do you think the people from the Storm Sect would stop this airship for a search?" Ling Feng asked with some amusement.
Ximen Shuang was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly, "They probably wouldnât. After all, Canglan Commerce is not weak..."
Ling Feng stretched lazily, "Well, thereâs no use worrying about it now. Letâs get some rest and think about how to use this airship to move to a safer place."
Ximen Shuang nodded, "I will leave everything to Big Brother Leiâs arrangements!"
Ling Feng was about to say something when suddenly he heard footsteps outside. He motioned for Ximen Shuang to be quiet, then the door unexpectedly opened. Ling Feng quickly grabbed Ximen Shuang and ducked behind a cabinet, suppressing their presence.
The intruder came in too fast for Ling Feng to put Ximen Shuang back in the Heavenly Spirit Stone Cave, as opening it would cause a spatial fluctuation that would easily be detected.
"Young Master, youâre so naughty! If you keep this up, I wonât comply!" A sweet, coquettish voice said.
Then, a wanton voice chimed in: "Oh, my naughty little one, are you just realizing that now? Let Young Master make you feel good, itâs been days since I last indulged myself!"
Hearing this, both Ling Feng and Ximen Shuang couldnât help but frown. Had they stumbled upon a pair of illicit lovers?
And it seemed like a young master from a big family fooling around with a maid?
"Does your Ximen Family do this too?" Ling Feng transmitted a message to Ximen Shuang, "This guyâs got some wild moves!"
Ximen Shuang blushed, replying via transmission, "Our Ximen Family doesnât do such things. Theyâre really disgusting!"
At that moment, the sounds of impact and heavy breathing followed in succession, making Ximen Shuang feel weak in the knees.
After several moments, only the manâs low cry was heard before everything fell silent.
"Young Master, youâre amazing; I feel like Iâm flying!" The woman weakly murmured, "But Young Master, youâre really bold; arenât you afraid the lord will find out? Youâre to be Ximen Familyâs son-in-law, after all!"
