Holding a flying sword made of pine needles, Du Xuan used the Mind Light Escape Technique, his figure flashing like lightning as he flew straight towards the Divine Mountain Beyond the Heavens.
The island lord of Jingu Island and Zhao Jianyin were not to be outdone, and they followed closely behind him.
Meanwhile, the sect leader Qi Yuntian had already chased after them out of the South China Sea and was following them from a distance.
After flying for more than a thousand miles, Du Xuan was suddenly blocked by a dark light that rose up ahead.
He hurriedly stopped his escape, staring at the dark light, and frowned, feeling that his way home had become so difficult.
The next moment, a white-browed Taoist emerged from the dark light, waved slightly at Du Xuan, and a blazing fire roared towards Du Xuan.
Seeing this, Du Xuan raised his flying sword without hesitation and slashed it in the air. A dazzling sword light shot out, like a ribbon, heading towards the ball of fire.
The sword light and the firelight collided fiercely in the air, producing a deafening roar.
In the end, the flame was shattered by the sword light, turning into countless sparks that drifted into the air.
The white-browed Taoist frowned slightly upon seeing this, inwardly realizing the danger. He knew that while the Heavenly Divine Fire was powerful, the strength of this junior was unexpected, and it would be difficult to trap him with it.
At that moment, he dared not be negligent in the slightest. A flash of dark light appeared behind him, and in the next instant, twelve banners flew out from it.
This flag is the Heavenly Blazing Fire Flag, which can instantly form a Heavenly Blazing Fire Array once it is in place.
The Taoist immediately raised his hand and pointed, causing the twelve flag gates to tremble slightly and each of them to shoot out a stream of Heavenly Divine Fire, which roared straight toward Du Xuan.
These divine flames, as ferocious as poisonous dragons, immediately surrounded Du Xuan.
At this moment, Du Xuan also sensed that the island lord of Golden Drum Island and others were rapidly pursuing them.
Time was of the essence, and he couldn't afford to delay.
As the fire dragons flew towards him again, he hardened his heart and merged his entire body into the flying sword formed from pine needles. He unleashed the technique of becoming one with the sword, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-long sword light. With a single slash in mid-air, he instantly shattered the dozen or so fire dragons into dust.
This sword seems to be incomparably sharp and unmatched, capable of annihilating everything.
As the fire dragon shattered, the sword light continued unabated, its momentum growing even stronger as it slashed straight at the white-browed Taoist.
"What?" The white-browed Taoist was shocked and his heart was filled with astonishment.
He hadn't expected the opponent's sword light to be so powerful and incredibly fast, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.
He hurriedly used his supernatural powers to try to resist, but it was too late.
Just then, a thought struck him, and several flags appeared in front of him, blocking the sword light.
These flag gates are his magical weapons, possessing extraordinary power and capable of withstanding attacks from powerful enemies.
However, he underestimated the power of the opponent's sword light. With a shattering sound, the sword light struck the flag gate. Its sharpness was extremely fierce, instantly severing the flag gate.
Although this gate is ingenious, it is not an insurmountable obstacle.
At that moment, struck by the sword light, the blades snapped off one by one with a cracking sound.
After severing a group of Heavenly Blazing Fire Banners, the sword light continued its relentless speed, slashing straight towards the Taoist.
The white-browed Taoist stared wide-eyed in disbelief as he was cleaved in two mid-air.
He never imagined that he would be killed so easily by his opponent.
Du Xuan, however, seized the opportunity to ride the sword light and flew straight towards the divine mountain beyond the heavens.
After flying hundreds of miles, Du Xuan felt that his magic power was almost exhausted, so he released the state of being one with his sword.
He used the Mind Light Escape Technique to continue his escape.
Some more obstacles appeared ahead, but Du Xuan held his flying sword, with only one thought in his mind: "No matter how you try to stop me, I will shatter you with a single sword strike!"
No matter what stands in his way—supernatural powers, spells, or magical treasures—as long as he swings his sword and releases a beam of sword light, nothing can withstand his power, and nothing can remain undestroyed.
He ran wildly all the way and finally arrived at the outer void, only ten thousand miles away from the divine mountain.
He only needs a little over a hundred more breaths to get there. With the protection of Old Ox and his senior brother, he will be safe.
However, things rarely go as planned. As he drew closer to the celestial mountain, a ripple suddenly appeared in the void ahead.
The next moment, Qi Yuntian emerged from the ripples and blocked Du Xuan's path.
"You little thief! Where do you think you're going!" Qi Yuntian shouted, raising his hand to unleash a sword light that shot straight at Du Xuan like lightning.
Seeing this, Du Xuan was not to be outdone and also unleashed the flying sword in his hand.
Two sword lights collided violently in the air like meteors, producing a deafening roar, and countless shattered sword lights scattered like fireworks.
Qi Yuntian's gaze sharpened, and in the blink of an eye, the sword light suddenly changed shape. It no longer directly confronted Du Xuan's flying sword, but instead evolved into a set of exquisite sword techniques, like a dancing serpent, constantly reducing the sword energy on the opposing flying sword.
Although Du Xuan had also practiced the Supreme Sword Technique, the flying sword in his hand was not forged by him personally, but was casually conjured by Hu Le.
Du Xuan had not refined it, so he could not achieve unity of mind and sword, and naturally could not unleash those subtle changes.
However, although the sword fight lasted only a dozen breaths, he was clearly at a disadvantage.
Seeing that he could no longer defeat Qi Yuntian with just his flying sword, he raised his hand without hesitation and unleashed a palm lightning bolt, fiercely striking Qi Yuntian.
"Heh... You dare to show off such petty tricks in front of this sect leader?!"
Qi Yuntian sneered, then spread his sleeves and swept the incoming palm lightning away in an instant.
With a deafening roar, the palm lightning exploded inside his sleeve.
With a flick of his sleeve, Qi Yuntian easily neutralized the violent power of the thunder.
"What?!"
Upon seeing this scene, Du Xuan was greatly shocked. His eyes widened, and he stared at everything that was happening in front of him with disbelief.
He had thought he still had a chance, but now it seemed the situation was worse than he had imagined.
Meanwhile, the King of Golden Drum Island and Zhao Jianyin and others had caught up and quickly surrounded Du Xuan, forming a tight encirclement.
In an instant, the sky and the earth, and all directions were sealed off, leaving Du Xuan with no chance of escape.
Du Xuan felt bitter inside, his face turned deathly pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He knew that this time, he was probably truly doomed.
...
The sacred mountain outside the sky.
Hu Le also sensed Du Xuan's predicament, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
He smiled slightly and flicked his finger in the air in front of him. The air trembled slightly, as if a ripple had appeared on a calm surface of water.
This tremor instantly spread beyond the celestial mountain, like an invisible force that traveled thousands of miles to reach distant places.
