Chapter 49: Blood Spirit's Rampage (1)
Fourth watch
——————————————————————————
Yi Feng flew eastward without stopping, but the swift flight of the Zhan Tian Sword required his true yuan power to support it. The consumption of true yuan power at such a speed was something that Yi Feng, who had only just merged with the later period, could not sustain for long.
Among the three, Yuan Ying's speed was comparable to Yi Feng's in the middle stage of the Infant Transformation Realm, while the other two were being left further and further behind.
This escape lasted for half a day.
At midnight, the stars in the sky were shining brightly, and Yi Feng's true yuan force was almost exhausted. The mid-term cultivator of the Yuan fetus still pursued him relentlessly, as if he wanted to fight with Yi Feng to the death.
"We can't keep running like this, or else there's only one dead end." Yi Feng was anxious in his heart, but also had no way to deal with it, stopped and fought back, with his current state the odds of winning were very small.
After flying for another distance, the true yuan force in Yifeng's body was only left with one, while the Yuan Ying period cultivator was full of energy and his distance from Yifeng was gradually getting closer.
"Either way, I won't be able to escape, so I might as well give it a shot. I don't believe heaven would let me die that easily." Yi Feng steeled himself and stopped the Heaven Slashing Sword, while also merging the recovered Sword Heart with the Heaven Slashing Sword.
After ten years of practice, Yi Feng's sword heart was consumed and his recovery speed also became faster and faster. As long as he wasn't exhausted completely, he could recover a lot.
"Run, why aren't you running?" The middle-period Yuan Ying cultivator swiftly approached, still muttering angrily to himself.
In the mid-term of Yuan Ying, he was only one step away from his own master Xing Chenzi. Yi Feng had already made a desperate move, but he still lacked confidence.
Without saying a word, Yifeng urged on Jian Tianjian and attacked. He was currently insufficient in power, so he had to launch a surprise attack.
That Yuan infant mid-term master seemed to have also seen Yi Feng's current state, and unexpectedly wasn't in a hurry, regarding the Heaven Slashing Sword's attack, he only dodged and weaved, and only when he really couldn't dodge anymore did he exert force and engage in a fierce battle.
Each time he went all out with his Heaven Cleaving Sword, he would gain an advantage, but the effect wasn't very obvious. At the same time, Yi Feng's consumption of internal energy also accelerated.
"Little one, you must activate the Floating Zero Sword Technique and use your sword intent to trigger the spiritual power of heaven and earth to assist you. Otherwise, even if your sword heart is integrated into the Slashing Heaven Sword, it will be difficult to defeat a Nascent Soul stage cultivator."
"I know, but how can that guy be willing to give me time to summon the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy?" Yi Feng replied dejectedly.
"Didn't you already sacrifice the Blood Spirit Mirror those few years ago?" Zhan Tian asked back with a bad tone.
"Blood Spirit Mirror..." Yi Feng hesitated. Since being awakened by Ying Chengzi, Yi Feng had attempted to refine the Blood Spirit Mirror two years later. Although the Blood Spirit Mirror was an ominous object, detested by orthodox cultivators, Yi Feng didn't have any concept of orthodoxy or heresy in his heart. Moreover, he didn't have any powerful magical artifacts to protect himself, and the Blood Spirit Mirror was a mid-grade spirit artifact that could be used by him. Therefore, during his cultivation on Fei Lou Mountain, he had successfully refined the Blood Spirit Mirror which had automatically recovered.
After the sacrifice was completed, Yi Feng also obtained the magic spell that came with the Blood Spirit Mirror. However, this demonic object couldn't be used in front of outsiders. After the sacrifice was completed, Yi Feng never took it out again and eventually forgot about it. If it wasn't for Zhan Tian's reminder, he probably wouldn't have remembered the Blood Spirit Mirror.
Yifeng didn't used to distinguish between orthodox and unorthodox methods, but now that the situation was critical, he had no more time for hesitation.
Driven by the sword, Tianjian launched its strongest attack once again. The Yuan Ying period cultivator dodged and weaved, taking advantage of the brief opening to suddenly recall the sword and then flee on it once more.
"Haha... you've exhausted your strength, and yet you still want to run!" The Yuan Ying stage cultivator burst out laughing, then without another thought, he vigorously gave chase.
