At this moment, the spiritual boat sped past. The retreating clouds in the surroundings and the howling of the wind didn’t seem to attract Su Lingyun’s attention.
Looking at the gigantic spiritual boat behind that had been destroyed in an instant, she was so shocked that she became speechless!
At this moment, not only Su Lingyun but the hundreds of spiritual boats that were originally approaching the Cloud Boat suddenly slowed down and kept a distance from the Cloud Boat!
Especially the spiritual boat which was initially disdainful of the second sword Qi that Zhou Yun had unleashed, and intended to take it head-on.
When it saw the tragic state of the huge spiritual boat, it immediately reduced its speed. To avoid Zhou Yun’s Fire Sword Qi, it did not even notice the spiritual boat at its back. The two spiritual boats collided with each other and caused a very loud explosion!
In an instant, the hundreds of spiritual boats behind the Cloud Boat were thrown into a panic. And they were scared a few hundred meters away by Zhou Yun’s sword Qi!
Zhou Yun was still unleashing his sword Qi continuously to the back!
His sword Qi just now had only forced the spiritual boat behind him back a distance. It had not truly escaped from the predicament!
Su Lingyun was mesmerized by the sight of Zhou Yun forcing back hundreds of spiritual boats and thousands of cultivators by himself!
“Boom!” There was another explosion as Zhou Yun’s Fire Sword Intent once again struck a spiritual boat that was in a panic!
At this point, Su Lingyun finally came back to her senses. She couldn’t help but be in a daze. Gritting her teeth, she continued to speed up the Cloud Boat in the direction of Spirit Valley!
“Phew! I didn’t expect to unleash over a hundred sword Qi to only hit the second spiritual boat.” Zhou Yun stopped and continued to wield his sword.
At this moment, the spiritual boats chasing behind the Cloud Boat had retreated several thousand meters. Their numbers had also been reduced by more than half!
Those spiritual boats that had retreated were probably the ordinary rouge cultivators or small forces who thought that even if they caught up, they would not be able to fight for it.
But almost all the remaining spiritual boats were huge. They even had a more powerful defensive array than the first spiritual boat flickering on their boats!
“These are all tough nuts. Perhaps the spiritual boats of the four sects are also among them.” Zhou Yun felt that if he continued to wield the sword Qi, it would not be a threat to the spiritual boats behind him because they had even faster speed and extremely powerful defensive arrays!
Although he could force the other party to maintain a distance now, if the other party grew anxious in the end and abandoned several boats as shields to block the Fire Sword Qi, Zhou Yun would be helpless then!
He needed to change his strategy to at least further reduce the number of spiritual boats behind by half!
Otherwise, the only outcome that awaited him would be death!
“Zhou Yun, that’s enough,” Su Lingyun suddenly said. She did not expect Zhou Yun to give her such a big surprise forcing more than half of the spiritual boats to retreat!
There were less than a hundred spiritual boats following behind the Cloud Boat now, which had been acceptable for Su Lingyun.
Moreover, she wasn’t flying the Cloud Boat randomly. Su Lingyun had a purpose when she was controlling the Cloud Boat!
Zhou Yun walked to Su Lingyun from the back of the Cloud Boat.
He didn’t understand why Su Lingyun wanted him to stop, but Zhou Yun had also planned to rest and prepare for battle.
Although he had only unleashed a hundred rays of sword Qi and almost not consumed any energy, Zhou Yun did not intend to underestimate his opponent!
Although the five sects were ruling the entire region on the surface, there were constant frictions in the dark.
Zhou Yun could feel the pressure from the chief disciples of the other four sects!
He had to be in good condition for the upcoming battle!
“They won’t let us go. So I’ve already thought of our destination before we left the Treasure Pavilion.” Seeing Zhou Yun not asking her why she stopped, Su Lingyun explained.
“Do you still remember Fenghua City? Your first war in desolation,” Su Lingyun said.
Zhou Yun was stunned. He did not expect Su Lingyun to mention that place. The deepest impression he had from that place was that the spiritual energy was even more scarce, the number of mortals was large, and there were even heretic cultivators!
Zhou Yun suddenly realized Su Lingyun wanted to use the rouge cultivators to deal with the cultivators behind them!
“You want to make use of the heretic cultivators? But how do you know there are still heretic cultivators there? I defeated all of them back then. Even if those at the back were not injured, at least they suffered the loss of a few spirit corpses. They would need to recuperate for a while!” In the Treasure Pavilion, Zhou Yun learned that it was not simple to nurture a spiritual corpse.
After all, the materials used were only the bodies of the mortals, but they could nurture the spiritual corpses of the foundation establishment. How could it be simple to nurture a spiritual corpse?
Every spiritual corpse had to spend years or even decades to reach the early-stage foundation establishment.
The five spiritual corpses that Zhou Yun had killed had been nurtured for at least a hundred years!
Moreover, the combat power of the spiritual corpses was extremely strong, and it was difficult to nurture them. Usually, a heretic cultivator could only nurture three spiritual corpses at a time!
The heretic cultivators were even more eccentric. They would travel alone and not with others.
He didn’t believe the heretic cultivators in Fenghua City could have so many spiritual corpses!
That it was enough to deal with the cultivators on the hundred spiritual boats behind them!
“Junior Brother Zhou Yun, your thoughts are all written on your face. You have underestimated the heretic cultivators.” Su Lingyun shook her head and sighed helplessly.
“Before the five sects, there was an ancient sect. They ruled the lands of the five sects, killed people, and refined their souls. They were a true heretic cultivator sect! It was only when the five sects paid the price of almost exhausting their sects that it was exterminated. This is also precisely why the five sects can rule this region for so long.
“The ancient sects would choose the strongest disciples every year and name them the Saint or Saintess. The one who attacked you previously was the elder sister of Meng Fei’ang, who is also the Saintess this year.”
When Zhou Yun saw Su Lingyun’s solemn expression and even a trace of killing intent from time to time, he couldn’t help but feel nervous.
“Invisible Shadowless Zombie Demon is her nickname. And it’s also the reputation that she fought her way through within the five sects.” Su Lingyun took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Yun with a determined expression.
“You’ve killed her younger brother, a heretic cultivator who purposely sneaked into the five sects. You’ve ruined their great plan. She’ll definitely attack again when she sees you!
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely protect you until you achieve the golden core and meet Venerable Xunling! Even without a glimmer of hope, just my identity as the Edest Senior Sister of Spirit Valley would ensure your return to Spirit Valley.”
Zhou Yun didn’t expect Su Lingyun to suddenly say this.
He could feel that this time, it seemed to be really dangerous!
The cultivators were chasing after them, but they were heading to the territory of the heretic cultivators!
The situation could no longer be described as between the devil and the deep blue sea!
The abyss in front and hell behind was more appropriate!
“I’m ready. That’s the place where we met the heretic cultivator the last time!” Su Lingyun shouted.
Zhou Yun held the Fire Dragon Sword tightly. He saw the area in front of him was filled with a layer of pitch-black air wave from the ground to the sky!
It was the heretic cultivator! And there were many of them!
