Chapter 521: Injured

Seeing this yellow crescent blade with astonishing power rushing straight at Song Qingming, Jin Ziyuan on the side changed his expression. While loudly reminding Song Qingming, he voluntarily sacrificed one of his own defensive magic treasures and arrived in front of Song Qingming.

Song Qingming, who had already discovered Ma Hongshan's move, also frowned and controlled his natal magic treasure, the "Five-Colored Divine Light Mirror," to turn into a large golden mirror to protect himself in front.

The spirit talisman used by Ma Hongshan was a third-grade mid-quality spirit talisman left behind by a previous head of the Ma family and treasured for hundreds of years. It was also the biggest trump card Ma Hongshan had.

The power of this spirit talisman was quite extraordinary. If used well, it was enough to temporarily force back a Jin Dan late-stage cultivator with profound cultivation. The reason Ma Hongshan chose to use it on Song Qingming, who had a lower cultivation, was to see if he could heavily injure his opponent in one blow and break the current stalemate.

After this crescent light blade encountered Jin Ziyuan's defensive magic treasure in mid-air, to the surprise of both of them, it quickly bounced Jin Ziyuan's magic treasure away. Moreover, its power did not diminish much, and it continued to head straight for Song Qingming.

Seeing this, Song Qingming was also startled and hurriedly took out a third-grade low-quality defensive spirit talisman, desperately injecting his magic power into it.

The crescent light blade arrived in front of Song Qingming in just a moment. Although the "Five-Colored Divine Light Mirror" shone brightly under Song Qingming's urging, trying desperately to block this blow, it only blocked it slightly before a large hole was pierced through the mirror surface by the crescent light blade.

Fortunately, at this moment, the defensive spirit talisman in Song Qingming's hand had already been activated, quickly turning into a green barrier to block in front of Song Qingming, successfully intercepting this crescent light blade whose power had already been halved.

Song Qingming, who was still standing in place with lingering fear after just blocking Ma Hongshan's blow, had a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth after steadying his figure.

"Junior Brother Song, are you alright?" Seeing that Song Qingming seemed to be injured, Jin Ziyuan glanced at the two Ma family members who had taken the opportunity to pass them and head west. After hesitating for a moment, he still approached Song Qingming and showed concern for his injuries.

This kind of large flying boat built with a large amount of materials, because it needs to frequently shuttle through places infested with demonic beasts, is generally installed with a small second-grade top-quality formation. However, facing the full-force attack of a Jin Dan cultivator, it can only delay for a moment at most.

The only trump card in Ma Hongshan's hand had already been used on Song Qingming. Now, facing the obstruction of Zhao Menglian, whose cultivation was higher than his, the two Ma family members had no other way and could only watch helplessly as Chen Xuanxin broke through the defensive formation of the first flying boat.

At this moment, these two large flying boats of the Nine Origin Sect, although still relying on the formations installed on the flying boats to resist the attacks of Chen Xuanxin and Zhao Menglian, were both already somewhat severely damaged and in a precarious situation.

After putting away the somewhat damaged "Five-Colored Divine Light Mirror" in front of him, Song Qingming wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and nodded slightly to Jin Ziyuan, indicating that he was not in any serious trouble. After taking a healing elixir, the two of them quickly took the flying boat and pursued westward together.

For Song Qingming, this was not a serious injury. It was just that in the subsequent battles, his natal magic treasure would be difficult to use, and Song Qingming's combat effectiveness would also be slightly affected.

Seeing this, the two Ma family members hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to stop the opponent from continuing to attack the flying boat. Zhao Menglian on the side saw the two Ma family members rushing over aggressively and could only give up on the large flying boat in front of her, turning around to intercept the two Ma family members.

After Ma Hongshan took Ma Qiudie and pursued westward for several more hours, they finally saw Chen Xuanxin and the other, who were attacking the Nine Origin Sect's large flying boat, in front.

After Zhao Menglian came out of seclusion this time, her cultivation had reached a higher level, breaking through to the sixth layer of the Jin Dan. She stepped forward alone and easily intercepted Ma Hongshan and Ma Qiudie.

Facing a Jin Dan mid-stage cultivator like Chen Xuanxin, even if there were hundreds of Qi Refining cultivators and more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators on the flying boat, it was impossible for them to be Chen Xuanxin's opponents if they joined forces.

A Jin Dan cultivator's natal magic treasure, as long as it is not completely damaged in battle, can generally be slowly repaired during daily cultivation. Seeing that the damage to the "Five-Colored Divine Light Mirror" was somewhat severe, Song Qingming did not pay too much attention to it and did not withdraw from the battle because of this. He still chose to go and pursue the two Ma family members together with Jin Ziyuan.

The third-grade mid-quality spirit talisman that Ma Hongshan launched at Song Qingming did not hurt his physical body just now. The reason Song Qingming was injured was actually because his natal magic treasure, the "Five-Colored Divine Light Mirror," which was connected to his essence blood, was damaged.

Seeing that the flying boat formation was broken, the many Ma family cultivators on it also showed expressions of despair. Some Foundation Establishment cultivators with higher cultivation also immediately abandoned the flying boat and stepped on their flying swords to flee in all directions.

Qi Refining cultivators with lower cultivation cannot control magic tools to fly. At such a high altitude of several hundred meters, once they leave the flying boat and fall down, even if they are not killed on the spot, they will definitely be heavily injured.

In such a desolate mountain and wild ridge full of crises everywhere, an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator trapped here will also find it difficult to survive.

Except for a portion of Qi Refining cultivators who were forced to choose to jump directly off the flying boat, the hundreds of cultivators on this Nine Origin Sect flying boat, whether those who wanted to escape or those who stayed on the flying boat, most of them eventually died under Chen Xuanxin's sword.

Only two Foundation Establishment cultivators who ran fast managed to escape Chen Xuanxin's pursuit when they fled separately, and they were lucky enough to save their lives.

Watching Chen Xuanxin ruthlessly slaughtering those Ma family cultivators on the flying boat, Ma Hongshan and Ma Qiudie were both filled with grief and indignation, and also somewhat helpless.

Just when Chen Xuanxin was attacking and killing the many Ma family cultivators on this flying boat, two rays of spiritual light suddenly lit up in the sky. It was none other than Song Qingming and Jin Ziyuan who had already pursued them.

Ma Hongshan, who was in the midst of grief and indignation, seeing that the two of them were about to fall into the siege of the Xiaoyao Sect crowd again, hurriedly put away the grief in his heart and sent a secret voice transmission to Ma Qiudie beside him. The two immediately gave up on rescuing the Ma family cultivators on the flying boat in front and turned to flee to the side.

"Ma Hongshan, let's see where else you can run!" Jin Ziyuan, who had already pursued to the vicinity, had not yet arrived, but an angry shout carrying a bit of magic power had already reached the ears of the two Ma family members.

This "Heart-Shaking Technique" was also a secret technique that Jin Ziyuan had practiced for many years. When facing an enemy, by transmitting magic power through sound, it could shock the opponent's mind in a short time and stop the opponent's actions.

Ma Hongshan's cultivation was better, and he was not greatly affected. He was just slightly stunned for a moment before recovering. Ma Qiudie, who had lower cultivation on the side, did not react so quickly and stood blankly in place until Ma Hongshan reminded her with a voice transmission, and then Ma Qiudie woke up.

Ma Qiudie, who had woken up, was just about to continue fleeing when she did not want a red ribbon to suddenly appear under her feet, directly entangling one of her thighs. Accompanied by a sound of surprise, Ma Qiudie was left in place again.

The one controlling this ribbon magic treasure was Zhao Menglian, who had pursued them one step ahead. Her cultivation was even higher than Ma Hongshan's, and both her escape speed and magic power were stronger than the opponent's. With the help of Jin Ziyuan's "Heart-Shaking Technique," she quickly caught up and entangled Ma Qiudie.

Seeing this, Ma Hongshan could only turn his head and hurriedly step forward, wanting to help Ma Qiudie out of the siege. This time, the two Ma family members failed to successfully escape again and were entangled by Zhao Menglian again. Soon, Song Qingming and Jin Ziyuan also surrounded them and joined the battle.

In the previous battle, the two Ma family members joining forces were somewhat unable to defeat Song Qingming and Jin Ziyuan. Now that Zhao Menglian, who had higher cultivation and strength, had appeared on the battlefield, the battle immediately tilted toward the Xiaoyao Sect side.

Because Song Qingming's natal magic treasure was damaged in the previous battle, affecting some combat effectiveness, and he did not know if Ma Hongshan still had a trump card like a third-grade mid-quality spirit talisman, for this time, he only contained Ma Qiudie on the side and tried his best to stay away from Ma Hongshan, leaving him to Jin Ziyuan and the other.

After the few fought for a while, the pressure on Ma Hongshan and his companion became greater and greater, and they did not see anyone else from the Nine Origin Sect coming to help for a long time, which made them feel a trace of despair in their hearts.

Watching Chen Xuanxin not far away having already slaughtered the low-tier Ma family cultivators on the flying boat and rising to pursue the other large Nine Origin Sect flying boat that had just fled, Ma Hongshan, who was already powerless to stop these, could not help but regret his original decision in his heart.

"Could it be that I really made the wrong choice and buried the future of the family?" After Ma Hongshan asked himself this in his heart, he looked at Ma Qiudie beside him and silently made another decision in his heart.

"Qiudie, don't get entangled in the battle. You hurry and leave. There are still many important spiritual items of the family in this storage bag. You take it first. I will buy you time later. You go first, and I will follow." After Ma Hongshan finished speaking, he secretly threw a gray storage bag to Ma Qiudie beside him.

After Ma Qiudie put away the storage bag, Ma Hongshan once again performed a secret technique, spitting a mouthful of essence blood onto his natal magic treasure, and using the same trick again, summoning a huge red bird.

As soon as the red bird appeared, it spat out a sea of fire with huge power directly at Ma Hongshan's side, shrouding the surrounding Xiaoyao Sect few and Ma Hongshan himself in flames.

This spell did not distinguish between friend and foe. Whether it was Ma Hongshan himself or the three Xiaoyao Sect members, facing such flames, they could only choose to retreat for the time being.

Taking this good opportunity, Ma Qiudie immediately held a "Heart-Freezing Talisman" that had been prepared long ago, quickly escaped from the sea of fire, and directly turned around and headed north.

"Hmph! Still want to run, where are you going!"

Song Qingming and Jin Ziyuan, who had just retreated, were just about to go and pursue Ma Qiudie when they did not want to be forcibly blocked by the red giant bird controlled by Ma Hongshan on the side.
