Chapter 2088 - 2089: Intimidation

But Ling Zhenfei was known as a master of the Pursue Heart State, something all these cultivators were aware of.

When Ling Zhenfei's Dragon Tooth Dagger appeared, it was only natural that these people instinctively recognized this dagger as Ling Zhenfei's Heart-pursuing Item.

Once the Heart-pursuing Item is revealed, it is inevitably formidable, so those who originally intended to attack Ling Zhenfei now all switched to a defensive stance out of fear.

Ling Zhenfei, with the Dragon Tooth Dagger, didn't attack, understanding that making a move would expose him.

The Dragon Tooth Dagger floated beside Ling Zhenfei, serving as a deterrent presence.

Ling Zhenfei's Iaido technique forced Su Liu back, then he shouted to those around him, "I don't want to kill anyone; if you make a move, don't blame me for being ruthless."

As he finished speaking, he drew his Tang sword horizontally, and the Boundless Blade Technique slashed toward Su Liu.

The Boundless Blade Technique was exquisite, and now his Northern Spiritual Energy had reached the Pursue Heart State, making him not inferior to Su Liu. Coupled with the subtlety of the Boundless Blade Technique, Ling Zhenfei was confident.

But Su Liu did not engage Ling Zhenfei in a contest of moves. His treasured sword suddenly transformed into two; one sword launched a stream of spirit energy at Ling Zhenfei, aiming to directly break Ling Zhenfei's Boundless Blade Technique, while the other sword flew behind Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei was startled. Su Liu, being one of the Four Young Masters, and his father being the Alliance Hierarch of the Cultivators Alliance, was naturally well-trained.

The frontal sword was merely intended to disrupt Ling Zhenfei's Boundless Blade Technique, but the deadly threat lay in the rear sword. This sword carried a trace of spirit energy, which was very secretive, or rather, the transformed sword was originally a manifestation of spirit energy, flying straight towards Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei could also sense that trace of spirit energy, but the frontal sword from Su Liu had already attacked.

This sword was purely powerful in Sword Qi, without anything particularly special, yet it demanded Ling Zhenfei's full attention.

But handling the frontal Sword Qi left the rear sword problematic.

The only option was to use the Dragon Tooth Dagger to block, but once the Dragon Tooth Dagger blocked, it would inevitably expose him and he would be at a disadvantage.

With the surrounding cultivators joining forces to attack, Ling Zhenfei would be doomed.

There was no choice but for Ling Zhenfei to react.

"Xiao Jin!"

Ling Zhenfei softly called the name of Xiao Jin, who naturally could hear him, leaving the rear matter to Xiao Jin.

Ling Zhenfei activated the Boundless Blade Technique, directly nullifying Su Liu's powerful spirit energy.

At this moment, Xiao Jin indeed startled everyone by arriving behind Ling Zhenfei incredibly fast.

Everyone was watching Ling Zhenfei and Su Liu's battle, assuming Su Liu's sword would harm Ling Zhenfei, but it was blocked by the suddenly appearing Lightning Bird.

Everyone retreated two steps in shock; the Lightning Bird's sudden appearance felt instantaneous due to its incredible speed.

The sword struck right on the Lightning Bird's pair of wings, causing no harm to the Lightning Bird.

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei suddenly slashed towards Su Liu, using the spirit energy of the Sky-Splitting Ten Blades, wielding immense power.

Su Liu, sensing the strength of this spirit energy, hurriedly used his own spirit energy to block.

Under the impact of the spirit energy, Su Liu was blasted several meters away.

Ling Zhenfei then released another wave of spirit energy — the third blade of the Sky-Splitting Ten Blades, this spirit energy formed a powerful shockwave in Su Liu's direction.

Su Liu's expression changed, not expecting Ling Zhenfei to be so strong, and hurriedly used his own powerful spirit energy to defend.

But Ling Zhenfei wasn't aiming to attack; instead, he grabbed the Elf Princess and leaped onto the back of the Lightning Bird.

At this moment, someone around suddenly realized Ling Zhenfei's actions.

"Not good, he's going to run!"

But once Ling Zhenfei mounted the Lightning Bird, who could stop him?

The Lightning Bird's wings flapped, instantly taking to the sky.

Despite knowing they were no match for Ling Zhenfei, how could the surrounding cultivators let Su Liu escape with the Elf Princess?

They had expended great effort and suffered many casualties to corner the Elf Princess into this position; how could they let him leave so easily?

All at once, many unleashed their powerful moves towards Ling Zhenfei, whether it was spirit energy or swords, all were aimed at Ling Zhenfei and the Lightning Bird.

The attackers hesitated initially due to fear of Ling Zhenfei's strength, but upon seeing him about to leave, they dared to strike.

Yet, Ling Zhenfei's Lightning Bird was no ordinary creature. Mounted upon it, the speed was astonishing, soaring into the sky instantly.

Although the ground's cultivators were powerful, they couldn't match the Lightning Bird's speed, rendering their spirit energy and weapons ineffective.

At this point, Su Liu shouted towards Ling Zhenfei, "Ling Zhenfei, you traitor! From today on, you will be the common enemy of the cultivation world!"

Ling Zhenfei, already in the sky, heard Su Liu's words but said nothing. Since the deed was done, there was no turning back.

Looking at the Elf Princess in his arms, Ling Zhenfei sighed deeply.

The Lightning Bird carried Ling Zhenfei and the Elf Princess into the distance.

Though the Lightning Bird's flight was fast, carrying people significantly reduced its speed.

Thus, the flying speed wasn't exceptionally fast, and Su Liu and others caught up from behind.

These individuals were also very speedy, equipped with spirit energy, some even flying using spirit energy.

Some were riding their swords, using Sword Flight, chasing in various manners.

Some were sprinting on the ground, pursuing Ling Zhenfei, clearly unwilling to let him off so easily.

However, Ling Zhenfei felt no worry, flying through the sky on the Lightning Bird.

Those on the ground couldn't possibly catch up.

Even those flying with spirit energy would tire once the Lightning Bird flew a bit further.

Ling Zhenfei held the Elf Princess, whose body was very fragile; without his support, she might fall off.

The Elf Princess was light, but her muscles were taut, likely from years of training.

Moreover, she had a faint fragrance, a scent Ling Zhenfei couldn't identify, maybe a floral aroma unknown to him.

Her complexion was somewhat pale, making her already fair face appear even fairer.

However, up close, the Elf Princess was breathtakingly beautiful, with flawless, delicate features.

Her elf ears, though slightly pointed, were not at all awkward, rather quite adorable.

Ling Zhenfei's heart trembled; the Elf Princess was devastatingly beautiful, almost breathtakingly so.

Ling Zhenfei said to the Elf Princess, "Princess, where should I take you?"

Still injured, the Elf Princess spoke weakly, "I want to retrieve my father's remains."

Ling Zhenfei was surprised and asked, "The Elf King is dead?"

The Elf Princess's tears fell as she replied, "Yes, my father is dead."
