Just as the phantom of the demonic dragon was about to catch up with Chi Yu, a mysterious and powerful aura suddenly emerged—the Five Elements Sword appeared behind Tian Sha like a ghost!

Tian Sha immediately sensed the threat from behind, but it was too late to react. He could only manage a roar: "Ah!"

In an instant, the Five Elements Sword pierced through Tian Sha's body with the force of thunder, and blood splattered everywhere.

Tian Sha's face turned extremely gloomy, and his anger erupted like a volcano. He stared wide-eyed at the Five Elements Sword before him, gritting his teeth and roaring, "Who on earth dares to be so bold as to ambush me from the shadows!"

Despite suffering a heavy blow, Tian Sha did not perish.

This sword strike not only severely injured him, but also caused the illusory dragon he had been controlling to lose control. The terrifying phantom collapsed the moment it approached Chi Yu.

Akabane was stunned, but then overjoyed. Without hesitation, she seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and in a flash, she rushed towards Qin Feng, who was floating above the sea, and grabbed him to escape together.

Tian Sha watched helplessly as Chi Yu escaped, his resentment and anger growing ever stronger. His face was so dark it seemed like it could drip water, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with endless killing intent.

However, the Five Elements Sword blocking his way made Tian Sha wary.

He knew the power of this mysterious sword and feared that he might be ambushed by someone in the shadows if he was not careful.

Therefore, Tian Sha could only suppress his anger and dare not make any rash moves. He focused all his attention on observing the surrounding movements, trying to find the enemy hiding in the shadows.

However, as time passed, the surroundings remained silent, and apart from the Five Elements Sword that hovered quietly in front of them, no other figures appeared.

Tian Sha couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Could this be an unclaimed item?"

"Or perhaps its master is too weak and hides from me because he is afraid to confront me directly?"

Tian Sha's expression shifted rapidly, his gaze fixed intently on the Five Elements Sword, muttering to himself. He pondered silently while glancing around, trying to find any clues, but everything seemed so calm.

Then, Tian Sha looked down at his severely injured body, his anger growing stronger.

He gritted his teeth and roared in the direction where Akabane had fled: "Akaabane, Akabane, you've escaped by luck today! If there's a next time, you'll never escape!"

After saying this, Tian Sha stared at the Five Elements Sword for a moment, then resolutely turned and left.

After speeding along for a while, he was still wary and couldn't help but glance back. Only when he saw that the Five Elements Sword was not following him did he breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he was seriously injured and in very bad condition. Even a divine artifact that had lost its master's control was enough to pose a fatal threat to him.

If he is not careful, he may lose his life here.

After Tian Sha left, the Five Elements Sword fled in the direction Chi Yu had gone.

However, the Five Elements Sword was not fast, because Qin Feng had instructed it not to be discovered by Chi Yu and to maintain a safe distance.

She will return to Qin Feng's side when the time is right.

Although the Five Elements Sword's consciousness was somewhat weak, it did not prevent it from acting according to Qin Feng's will.

...

Akabane led Qin Feng directly back to the deserted island where Qin Feng had been.

Due to the severity of his injuries, as soon as he landed, Chi Yu put Qin Feng down and then disappeared into the woods without looking back. He used his supernatural powers to set up a barrier, preparing to go into seclusion to recuperate and heal his injuries.

After a while, the Five Elements Sword quietly appeared beside Qin Feng and quickly transformed into starlight, merging into Qin Feng's body.

At this point, Qin Feng's anxiety finally subsided completely.

He looked towards the woods where Akabane was hiding, and after observing carefully, he did not notice anything unusual. So he sat down cross-legged with peace of mind, closed his eyes, and pretended to sleep.

Akabane was so loyal that even though he was seriously injured, he still took him with him when they escaped.

Therefore, Qin Feng would not simply abandon Chi Yu and leave.

Although this island is deserted, it's hard to guarantee that others won't pass through here.

Moreover, Akabane's identity is special as a member of the demon race. If he is unfortunately discovered by others, his chances of survival are slim.

So no matter what, he had to stay until Akabane recovered from his injuries.

Three days passed in a flash, and Akabane finally emerged from the forest.

Akabane looked well; although his injuries had not fully healed, they were no longer having a significant impact.

Chi Yu walked up to Qin Feng, her eyes fixed on his face with a flickering gaze. The sudden appearance of the Five Elements Sword, which severely injured Tian Sha, made her suspect that the owner of the Five Elements Sword was Qin Feng.

Because it was the Five Elements Sword that startled Ice Soul No. 2 when they were on Jiuli Immortal Island. At that time, she had already woken up and witnessed the Five Elements Sword.

She didn't believe that the Five Elements Sword appearing twice at crucial moments was a coincidence.

Qin Feng was present on both occasions and had sufficient reason to save her and the four divine beasts.

Qin Feng felt a chill run down his spine under Chi Yu's gaze and weakly said, "Why...why are you staring at me like that? It's creepy!"

Akabane narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Qin Feng's face, and asked, "What's your name?"

Qin Feng's heart sank. Could it be that this woman had discovered the Five Elements Sword?

Although he was uncertain, his face remained impassive, and he replied calmly, "Feng Yi!"

"Feng Yi?" Chi Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. She wasn't entirely convinced by Qin Feng's answer, but she didn't question it. Instead, she continued, "By the way, what about your natal magic weapon?"

Qin Feng felt somewhat helpless; this woman had indeed begun to suspect him.

However, he remained completely calm and replied, "I was severely injured back then, and had no choice but to detonate my natal magic weapon to escape."

Akabane didn't believe her; her gaze was fixed on Qin Feng's face. "Are you sure you're not lying to me?"

Qin Feng smiled slightly. "I don't see any reason for me to deceive you, do I?"

Chi Yue stared at Qin Feng for a long time, but seeing no sign of guilt from him, she nodded with some doubt. "That's right!"

"I heard that magic weapon is Qin Feng's natal magic weapon. I thought you were Qin Feng!"

"It seems a bit ridiculous now. How could a powerful expert like Qin Feng be so severely injured that he lost all his cultivation?"

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief; this woman was really easy to fool. He then quickly changed the subject. "By the way, your injuries should be almost healed, right?"

Where do you plan to go next?

Akabane's face instantly darkened upon hearing this, and he said decisively, "Where else can I go?"

"He's definitely going to seek revenge on Tian Sha!"

Qin Feng frowned slightly. "Are you sure you're going for revenge, or to your death?"
