Liu Lingying shifted her gaze to Yu Chen, her expression unfriendly, and said in a deep voice, "Yu Chen, don't stop me, get out of my way!"

Yu Chen turned to look at Li Gan, who was still casting a spell with his eyes closed. Demonic energy was continuously emanating from his body and rushing into the Chi You Banner, while the arrogant laughter on the Chi You Banner had become much clearer.

He turned around, bowed respectfully to Liu Lingying, and said apologetically, "Please forgive me, Madam, I cannot move aside."

Liu Lingying's expression darkened, and she said angrily, "I'm saying this one last time, get out of the way! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Yu Chen shook his head firmly and said, "Please forgive me, Madam."

Liu Lingying turned her gaze to Li Gan, and saw that the black vortex on the Chi You Banner above his head was spinning faster and faster. Through the hole in the center of the vortex, she could vaguely see a dark world, a world of constant killing and bloodshed.

In her haste, Liu Lingying raised her hands in front of her chest to form a sword gesture, hurriedly recited a mantra, and then suddenly opened her hands. Guided by the sword gesture, the silver flying sword suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

The light enveloped the flying sword, making it seem as if it had suddenly grown much larger. Within that faintly transparent light, surrounding the flying sword were sharp sword energies that whizzed back and forth.

The next moment, the flying sword, which had grown to be about ten feet long and a foot wide, rushed towards Yu Chen. Almost instantly, it arrived in front of Yu Chen, and then the light that had been enveloping the flying sword suddenly dispersed. Many sharp sword energies broke free of their restraints and, together with the silver flying sword, swarmed towards Yu Chen.

These things may sound slow, but they actually happened in the blink of an eye. Only then did Yu Chen react. He hurriedly retreated, raising his hand to create a barrier of demonic energy that blocked the many sword energies.

The barrier that Yu Chen hastily created was pierced through by the sword energy with overwhelming force, without even slowing down the speed of the flying sword.

As Yu Chen retreated, he quickly turned his head to look and saw that Li Gan was already not far from him. Helpless, he had no choice but to turn around and run to the left.

The silver flying sword, carrying numerous sword energies, changed direction and relentlessly pursued Yu Chen as if it had eyes.

Taking advantage of the free time, Liu Lingying moved swiftly and flew towards Li Gan's direction.

Hearing the whooshing sound behind him, Yu Chen immediately sensed something was wrong. He took two quick steps forward to create distance between himself and the various sword energies, then turned around rapidly. Suddenly, a small, blood-red seal appeared in his left hand. He threw the seal away, and it quickly grew larger, soon reaching the size of a small mountain, before crashing down on the various sword energies led by the silver flying sword.

As soon as the seal struck the sword energy, the sword energy dissipated instantly, leaving only the silver flying sword shining brightly, blocking the seal's fall. However, after only a moment, the flying sword began to tremble, emitting a "humming" sound, and was just about to be smashed to the ground by the seal.

Taking advantage of the free time, Yu Chen quickly drew his bow and shot three long arrows of demonic energy, aiming them at Liu Lingying.

At that moment, Liu Lingying had just run to a place about ten feet away from Li Gan when she felt a sharp whooshing sound coming from the side. She was about to speed up and rush forward to avoid the sharpness of the three feathered arrows, but more feathered arrows came from in front of her, firmly blocking her way.

Helpless, Liu Lingying had no choice but to take two steps back. Her face was cold and stern. She waved her hand to retrieve the flying sword that was trembling under the huge seal, and her icy gaze turned coldly to Yu Chen.

Yu Chen reached out to the seal, which spun and shrank before returning to his hand. He bowed slightly in the direction of Liu Lingying and said apologetically, "I apologize, Madam."

"Hmph!" Liu Lingying snorted coldly, turned around to face Yu Chen, formed a complex sword incantation in her hand, and chanted a spell. As the silver flying sword shone brightly, it began to split into hundreds of pieces.

With a flick of her sword, hundreds of flying swords shot towards Yu Chen.

After doing all that, Liu Lingying was still not relaxed. She took a breath and threw another white bead at Yu Chen.

The white bead closely pursued the hundreds of flying swords, growing larger as it flew forward. The chaotic clouds within the bead churned erratically, and numerous stars enveloped within the clouds began to emerge from the bead one after another, transforming into head-sized stones that shot out rapidly. The stones were ablaze with red flames, trailing tails of light over three feet long, following the flying swords like meteors, swarming towards Yu Chen.
