Rong Hang's sword-flying skills were indeed hard to surpass, leaving everyone hundreds of meters behind in an instant, with Jiang Yixing hardly having to do anything.
However, a cultivator behind him noticed the distance growing ever greater and his expression turned grim. He was riding on the back of a bird-shaped demon beast named "Tiannan," a type of demon beast renowned for its speed.
This person was probably encountering someone he couldn't catch for the first time, and he inevitably became anxious. He held a black whip in his hand and lashed it hard across Tiannan's back.
Tiannan let out a loud cry, its voice shrill and terrifying. Stimulated by the pain, it suddenly accelerated and took flight.
As expected of a monster renowned for its speed, its speed, developed to its limit, quickly caught up with Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang.
The cultivator sat on Tiannan's back, his eyes meeting Jiang Yixing's. He cracked his whip and charged straight at Jiang Yixing.
Jiang Yixing clasped his hands together and silently wished for their safety. Then, thick vines suddenly rose from the ground and grew to their flight height in an instant. The vines wrapped around the cultivators and Tian Nan, and then, as if they were sentient, flung them backward, crashing into many cultivators one after another. Like dumplings being dropped into a pot, all the cultivators fell from the sky.
The screams continued incessantly, and Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang took advantage of the gap to fly out of the crowd's sight.
Among the cultivators, Tiannan gradually fell. It had just been severely injured by its master's whip and suddenly accelerated, and then it was entangled by vines. The vines had some kind of magic that could absorb its spiritual power, and at this moment it could hardly maintain its shape.
Just as it was falling uncontrollably, a green leaf caught it, and it landed as if on a soft mattress.
Tiannan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and realized that the leaf was growing on the vine.
Is it just a coincidence?
No, that's not it.
It looked at the other vines, and only this one had grown leaves. For a moment, a few indescribable emotions flashed in its red eyes.
Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang had already shaken off their pursuers. The wind whistled past their ears, ruffling the hair around Jiang Yixing's ears.
A smile flickered across Jiang Yixing's face as she wrapped her arms around Rong Hang's waist. The boy's slender yet powerful waist was taut at the moment, and Jiang Yixing could even feel a few protruding abdominal muscles.
"That's really amazing."
Jiang Yixing spoke vaguely, it was unclear whether he was referring to Rong Hang's sword-flying technique or his physique.
Although Jiang Yixing couldn't see Rong Hang's face clearly from behind, it wasn't hard to guess his expression. She continued, "They've all been shaken off."
So it was about flying on a sword...
For some reason, Rong Hang felt a little disappointed.
Jiang Yixing teased Rong Hang for a while, then stopped his teasing and prepared to draw his sword.
However, before she could even step onto her rapier, a multitude of men in black suddenly appeared like mushrooms after rain.
Traveling through space...? No... it's a time-space scroll.
So many scrolls?
These weren't the cultivators who had just been vying for the Golden Soil. They were after me and Rong Hang. They must have anticipated that we would succeed in obtaining the Golden Soil, which is why they chose to appear at the last moment to exhaust our strength.
Without the slightest hesitation, the man in black identified Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang. The weapons in his hands were all different, all of them top-quality, indicating that he had spared no expense.
Jiang Yixing's mind raced. Those who wanted to kill them and sabotage the creation of the talisman were most likely from the four major families.
