"Go, don't hesitate."

Zhong Lingqing didn't give Yin Ningyu any chance to hesitate, directly accelerating and charging forward.

Seeing this, Yin Ningyu had no choice but to follow.

Since everyone on the ship was going to die, Zhong Lingqing didn't hold back, directly unleashing a sword strike that tore through the air, carving out a tornado.

With a boom, the entire ship instantly shattered.

A group of civilians and Qi Refining stage cultivators fell directly from the high altitude.

Some Foundation Establishment cultivators only reacted halfway down, hurriedly attempting to fly on their swords; some were so frightened they couldn't even manage to fly their swords for a moment and continued to fall.

A few Golden Core cultivators soared into the air, and seeing the situation was bad, they turned tail and ran.

Several Nascent Soul cultivators felt even more strongly that some enemy of theirs had come after them, and they ran much faster than the Golden Core ones.

It was suddenly like a sky full of flies.

Zhong Lingqing was also taken aback when she saw this.

The airship had a defensive Barrier, and her sword strike had been intended to break that defensive Barrier.

But she hadn't expected that Cangxinghe would not only run away but also withdraw the defensive Barrier.

Seeing this, Jiang Xun immediately activated his Crimson Wings and charged up, instantly slaughtering everyone who was falling.

Although they would have died from falling from such a height anyway, Jiang Xun did this so they would die by his hand rather than Zhong Lingqing's, to avoid adding to her psychological burden.

"Hurry, go, the newcomers are not to be trifled with."

Chen Mo and the other two were stronger, so they hovered in the air to observe for a moment.

Seeing that the opponents were a Nascent Soul Great Perfection, a Spirit Transformation Great Perfection, and a Void Refinement Mid-Stage, they immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

This lineup felt like it was coming for their Supreme Position!

Chen Mo immediately decided to run first.

"You go and catch all those who ran away; leave these three to me!" Zhong Lingqing shouted to Yin Ningyu upon seeing this, then immediately pursued in the direction of Chen Mo and the other two.

"No need, I'll go!" Jiang Xun flew past Yin Ningyu quickly and shouted.

Yin Ningyu hesitated for a few seconds, then hurriedly pursued in the direction of Zhong Lingqing.

Jiang Xun, with his Crimson Wings activated, was extremely fast; as he swept past Chen Mo and the other two, he slashed a Wind Blade at them.

Zhang Yaozhi hurriedly raised his sword and severed the Wind Blade with one strike.

Although Jiang Xun couldn't stop them, he slowed them down slightly, and Zhong Lingqing had already caught up, striking at the three with another three tornadoes.

Chen Mo hurriedly drew his sword, slashing a water blade at one of the tornadoes; he was too busy to look after himself, let alone Zhang Yaozhi and Liu Chennian.

The two of them couldn't withstand Zhong Lingqing's tornadoes and were directly swept into the wind, spinning toward a higher altitude.

Chen Mo barely managed to block the tornado, and before he could even counterattack, Zhong Lingqing had already appeared before him.

Clang~

The two weapons collided, emitting a crisp sound.

"Who is the immortal, and why do you attack so suddenly?"

Chen Mo circulated his Spirit Power, struggling to ask.

Zhong Lingqing didn't speak; she exerted force in her hand and knocked Chen Mo back with a single sword strike.

Zhang Yaozhi and Liu Chennian, their bodies covered in many wounds from the tornadoes, returned to Chen Mo's side from the air and hurriedly attacked together, blocking Zhong Lingqing, who was charging up before Chen Mo could recover.

Zhong Lingqing feinted a downward sword strike, but in reality, she stepped on the air and performed a backflip, vaulting over the two of them.

At the same time, Yin Ningyu appeared behind Zhong Lingqing and slashed her sword between the crossed blades of Zhang Yaozhi and Liu Chennian, causing both of them to tremble.

Seeing that Zhong Lingqing was about to pierce his heart, Chen Mo immediately summoned his Dharma Image.

With a boom, a Taoist Dharma Idol appeared, knocking Zhong Lingqing away.

Zhang Yaozhi and Liu Chennian were also affected and knocked away; Yin Ningyu held her sword horizontally in front of her to block, and did not suffer much damage.

At the same time.

Jiang Xun spent ten seconds killing all the Foundation Establishment cultivators before catching up to the few Golden Core ones; under the speed of Jiang Xun's Crimson Wings and the suppression of his cultivation realm, the few Golden Core cultivators were killed without any power to resist.

The difficult part was that the three Nascent Soul cultivators were running in three different directions, and they were fleeing at full speed, each having already covered a great distance.

But the good news was that Jiang Xun had already locked onto their aura, and they did not have a Spirit-Avoiding Pendant on them.

Jiang Xun had no time to hesitate and pursued the one on the far right first.

With his Crimson Wings at full power, and seemingly because Jiang Xun's cultivation realm had improved, the speed of the Crimson Wings was even faster; he caught up to that Nascent Soul cultivator in one minute.

"Senior, wait! Spare my life!"

Seeing Jiang Xun catch up—and he was a Nascent Soul Great Perfection—the Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivator landed on a cliff and knelt down with a thud.

Jiang Xun was also taken aback when he saw this.

But it was precisely this moment of hesitation that allowed four Treasure-grade Long Swords to fly out from behind the man, stabbing directly toward Jiang Xun's Nascent Soul.

"Your mother." Jiang Xun hurriedly reached out, Soul-Suppressor appeared in his hand, and with one swing, the four Treasure-grade swords were snapped in two upon contact.

Soul-Suppressor cut through these swords as if they were Chinese cabbage.

"Ah! My... Senior, wait, spare, my, life!"

The man widened his eyes, looking at his four broken swords with a pained expression.

The next moment, Jiang Xun appeared before him, beheaded him with one sword, and then stabbed down into the severed neck with another, crushing the man's Nascent Soul before quickly pursuing the next Nascent Soul cultivator.

"What kind of person names their four swords like that?" Jiang Xun muttered to himself.

You have to say, he really was almost tricked.

————

Seeing Chen Mo's Dharma Image, Zhong Lingqing hesitated slightly.

If she were to manifest her Dharma Image, her identity would be as good as exposed; if Chen Mo were truly allowed to escape, it would absolutely be a catastrophe.

Her fierce offensive was originally intended to kill them directly before Chen Mo could react.

But she had not expected his two disciples to be so desperate; mere Spirit Severing cultivators actually dared to stand directly in front of her. If she hadn't truly lacked the time to tangle with them, Zhong Lingqing could have finished them off with just that last strike.

Yet this momentary delay also gave Chen Mo the time to manifest his Dharma Image.

"Split up and run!" Chen Mo, unaware of Zhong Lingqing's current thoughts, shouted and turned his head to flee.

From that single clash just now, he knew completely that he was no match for Zhong Lingqing, and having no time to consider why Zhong Lingqing was not using her Dharma Image, he hurriedly shouted.

Perhaps he felt that the woman before him was very confident, that she could kill him even without using her Dharma Image?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yaozhi and Liu Chennian also immediately fled in two different directions.

Zhong Lingqing chased directly in the direction of Chen Mo.

Yin Ningyu could only choose one to chase first, and she chose the weaker Zhang Yaozhi.

Seeing Zhong Lingqing pursuing him at extreme speed, Chen Mo turned back directly; his Dharma Image drew a giant sword and slashed down with massive momentum, causing the clouds to be cleaved and scatter to both sides.

Seeing this, Zhong Lingqing knew she could no longer hide and directly manifested her Tree Spirit Dharma Image.

Thick vines coiled around the giant sword to block his attack, while at the same time, various flowers grew on the tree trunk and began to release pollen.

"I guessed it was you! Zhong Lingqing!"
