C83 (1/2)

Carrying the unconscious Ling Luoyan, Gu Fei rushed into the rubble within the valley. Just as he was finished hiding, he saw a streak of fiery light, that looked like a long arc of light, shooting over from the northern horizon, towards the golden sword light that was sweeping up Liu Yunhee and flying towards the south.

The flying speed of the two sword glows was extremely fast. They were even faster than the five ghosts that had just escaped. In just a split-second, they had already disappeared into the distance.

”Zhao Xuanji, you traitor …” A faint voice came from the southern sky. It was clear that it was from the person who had used the power of thunderbolt fire to disperse the layers of ghost mist, break the Ghost Dao Formation that the Five Ghost Banner had set up and rescue Liu Yunhee.

”Zhao Xuanji...” Gu Fei stared at the flickering flame in the sky, the baleful aura on his body surged. Twice, Zhao Xuanji had forced him into a place where he was definitely going to die.

If not for the fact that Gu Fei had coincidentally cultivated the skill that was taught to him by the Taoist Xuan Tian, which was used to refine the unremarkable purple colored short rod passed down from his teacher into his body, allowing him to survive in the face of danger, Gu Fei would have died under Zhao Xuanji's flying sword long ago.

”Now is not the time, wait until I step into the Mortal Separating realm, then I will find you and settle our scores!” Gu Fei's eyes flashed with a sharp light filled with killing intent, and said solemnly. Zhao Xuanji was a sword cultivator in the Mortal Separating realm, and amongst cultivators of the same level, he was definitely a powerful existence. The current Gu Fei still did not have the strength to fight against cultivators of this level.

He withdrew his gaze and walked out of the rubble while carrying Ling Luoyan. He did not dare to stay in this small valley for long, and immediately rushed out of the valley and into the Primitive Forest outside.

He had grown up on a mountain, so it could be said that he was extremely familiar with this kind of Primitive Forest that was filled with unknown dangers.

As expected, not long after Gu Fei left, a flash of fiery light suddenly appeared in the southern sky, and shot towards the valley. Very soon, the sound of something tearing through the air could be heard from the sky, and the figure of a person stepping on a blazing flying sword appeared in the sky above the valley.

The man was standing on a flying sword and was high up in the sky. His black clothes were fluttering in the wind and his eyes were filled with a cold and evil aura.

This person was the Li Huo Sword Demon Zhao Xuanji who had a huge hatred for Gu Fei and had already fallen into Devil Dao.

”Just now, I felt that person's aura when I passed by …” Zhao Xuanji's gloomy face was so dark that it seemed as if water was about to drip out.

”That person has already been cut down an enormous abyss by my sword. How can he still live? Was it my imagination, or was I overthinking it? ” Zhao Xuanji thought for a while, then merged with his sword, transforming into a thirty meter tall blazing sword aura, flying towards the north, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the starry sky.

This was the fearsomeness of the way of the Sword Immortal. Sword cultivation at the Mortal Separating realm, using the Endless Sword energy to condense a sword pill, refining the treasured sword that was refined day and night, to the point of being able to merge it into one's body. Relying on the Spirit sword artifact, he would be able to enter and exit Qingming and roam the world.

Spitting out a sword pill would allow one to kill the enemy within several kilometers. Among cultivators at the Mortal Separating Realm, only Sword Cultivators would have this kind of ability.

Gu Fei had experienced Zhao Xuanji's terror long ago, so when Zhao Xuanji returned, he had already carried Ling Luoyan and traveled twenty to thirty kilometers within his Primitive Forest.

When Gu Fei entered the mountain forest, he was like a fish diving into the ocean. How could Zhao Xuanji still find any trace of him? However, when he walked through the Primitive Forest, he couldn't see any starlight nor moonlight so it was difficult to determine his direction accurately. Thus, Gu Fei discovered that he had gotten lost in the dark and dense forest.
