"This is not a simple matter. Right now, I am no match for them. This King-Level Expert is likely to be even more terrifying. Do you have any way to deal with this?" Ren Pingsheng asked uncertainly.
"Yes, at that time, I will borrow your body. During this period, I have recovered quite a bit, and I can unleash a killing move. It should be no problem dealing with an injured King-Level Expert. However, this killing move can only be used once, and it comes with a heavy burden. You probably won't be able to use True Qi and Demonic Energy for a month," Demon Emperor said softly.
"I see. Then let's go with your plan. But remember to take care of that kid first; otherwise, I'm afraid Qingyi won't be able to handle him later, and that would be troublesome."
"Don't worry, I'll keep that in mind. Now let's use some means to slow down this Flying Vessel. Otherwise, the sect-level experts behind us won't know when they'll catch up, and this King-Level Expert will have plenty of time to recover. That would be very unfavorable for us."
"Young Master Mei, I think you should rest as well. This isn't something we can shake off in a short time; you should heal your injuries first and let Qingyi control it for a while," Ren Pingsheng said with a smile as he opened his eyes.
The already small Flying Vessel felt a bit cramped with four people inside. However, in order to escape, they couldn't care too much about that; their speed was significantly slower compared to the sect-level experts behind them. Mei Xinyuan couldn't perceive it due to limited spiritual awareness, but Demon Emperor could sense it. As long as Yi Qingyi delayed even a little, the pursuers would almost catch up.
"Alright, but make sure to control it well. If anything goes wrong, I won't let you off easily," Mei Xinyuan said, also suffering from serious injuries and feeling exhausted due to the continuous consumption of True Qi without time to heal.
"Qingyi, you take over the control of the Flying Vessel. Be careful," Ren Pingsheng instructed the nearby Yi Qingyi.
"Yes, Ren Brother!" She nodded and moved to the control area of the Flying Vessel, operating it somewhat clumsily. As a result, the speed of the Flying Vessel immediately dropped by more than half.
"Qingyi, increase the input of True Qi." To avoid raising suspicion from Mei Xinyuan, he shouted immediately.
"Okay, Ren Brother." She fumbled around in a panic, and the speed of the Flying Vessel gradually picked up again. However, it was still far from its previous speed.
"What’s going on? Why has the speed decreased so much?" After more than a minute had passed without reaching peak speed, Mei Xinyuan asked impatiently.
"Ha ha, Qingyi has never operated a Flying Vessel before, so she needs to adapt a bit. Besides, he's the only one here who isn't injured; recovering from his injuries is more important," Ren Pingsheng explained, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
"Hmph, I hope so. It’s best not to play tricks. I wonder if there really is a sect-level expert behind us or if you’re just talking nonsense." He glanced at Ren Pingsheng with some uncertainty. However, his previous actions indicated that he still chose to believe.
"Maybe you won't have to wait long to find out. That sect-level expert is faster than us. We should hurry up and recover!" His words had a deeper meaning, but unfortunately, Mei Xinyuan did not pick up on it.
"Kid, that sect-level expert is still twenty miles away. He'll catch up in two minutes, so be ready. When he arrives, pretend to be seriously injured and use your words to tempt him into targeting that King-Level Expert," the Demon Emperor instructed.
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Ren Pingsheng nodded and closed his eyes without moving. Whether he could escape this time depended on whether things would unfold as planned. He was also taking a gamble; the danger was immense. But for the sake of survival, he had to take the risk.
"Damn it, he's catching up!" Mei Xinyuan exclaimed in shock and anger after sitting down for only a short while. At this moment, the old man was already within ten miles; his spiritual sense could sense them.
"Qingyi, hurry up, increase speed!" Ren Pingsheng shouted in terror, looking very anxious without revealing any flaws.
"Ren Brother, this is my fastest speed!" Yi Qingyi said with a look of grievance.
"Get out of the way, I'll handle it!" Mei Xinyuan shouted angrily, shoving Yi Qingyi aside and taking control himself. But even if his speed increased slightly, it was too late. The old man's speed was already faster than the Flying Vessel's; at such a close distance, they were running out of time.
"Is it possible that we can't escape this time?" Ren Pingsheng looked at the old man who was already close by and felt a surge of anger that caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood. Then he collapsed weakly.
"Ah... Ren Brother, are you okay?" Yi Qingyi cried out in concern as she held the fallen Ren Pingsheng.
"I'm fine, don't worry, I'm okay." At this moment, his aura was weak and vulnerable; his face was terrifyingly pale, like a dying person.
"Haha... no matter how much you run, you can't escape my grasp. It seems you were seriously injured before and can’t hold on any longer," the old man said as he swayed a few times and blocked the Flying Vessel. Seeing the weak Ren Pingsheng made him smile with delight.
The Flying Vessel finally landed, and both parties remained on guard against each other. Yi Qingyi supported Ren Pingsheng out of the Flying Vessel, but at that moment, he was so weak that he could barely stand and had to rely on her for support.
"Senior, since your enemy is them and they are right here now, let's part ways peacefully without interfering with each other," Mei Xinyuan said as he tried to drive Ren Pingsheng's group away, wanting to leave immediately.
"Cough... I killed your disciple, and now that I'm severely injured, I know I can't escape with my life. But I hope you can spare her; she hasn't killed anyone," Ren Pingsheng said, forcing his eyes open with a hint of pleading.
"Oh? Why should I spare her? You have no strength left to fight back now," the old man asked with interest, clearly in a good mood.
"I'll pay you a reward. Do you see that person? He is a King-Level Expert who bought an incredible Treasure at the Auction. He was chased and severely injured, and now he can't even move," Ren Pingsheng explained.
"Oh, severely injured." In fact, since his appearance, most of the old man's thoughts had been on Mei Longjiang, the lord of Yuzhou City. He had been hesitant to act until now. Upon hearing Ren Pingsheng's words, he immediately understood.
"Yes, I heard that the Treasure he bought is very useful for breakthroughs in cultivation and can benefit martial artists below the royal level," Ren Pingsheng nodded with his eyes closed.
"Bastard, don't slander us! Where would we get such a Treasure?" Mei Xinyuan shouted angrily and waved his hand to control the Flying Vessel to leave. This seemed to trigger something in the old man; he moved swiftly and covered the Flying Vessel with one palm before pulling it down forcefully.
Mei Xinyuan and Mei Longjiang fell directly from the Flying Vessel. At this moment, Mei Xinyuan looked shocked and angry as she hurriedly caught her Father and retreated far away.
"Haha... indeed severely injured and unable to move," the old man laughed joyfully. With a swift motion, his Longsword pierced straight out.
Poor Mei Xinyuan had decent strength, but unfortunately, she was too far from matching a sect-level expert. She was sent flying by a single strike. Already injured, this attack left her in a more miserable state with a long gash across her chest.
"Hmph, not knowing your limits; do you think you can withstand me? Die!" Seeing Mei Xinyuan dragging her severely injured body towards him again made him furious. With a snort, he swung his Longsword, unleashing a fiery Sword Qi that struck Mei Xinyuan directly.
"Ah..." Mei Xinyuan felt a sharp pain in her chest as if she had fallen into a Fire Sea; it was the terrifying attack of the perfected Fire Realm. The excruciating pain pierced her bones, causing her to scream in agony.
“King-Level Expert so what? Today I will slay you despite the level difference! All Treasure and Heritage are mine.” He laughed excitedly, his eyes filled with enthusiasm and greed. The sword in his hand moved swiftly, slashing towards the unmoving Mei Longjiang.
This sword was sharp and explosive, carrying boundless Fire Sea. If this full-force strike hit, even a King-Level Expert would suffer, let alone a severely injured King-Level Expert, who might be in danger of losing their life.
“Bang… huh…” Although the sword struck true, it did not achieve the desired result. The previously motionless Mei Longjiang suddenly opened his eyes and blocked the sword with one palm.
A streak of blood flashed in the air, causing the old man to retreat two steps in fright. However, although Mei Longjiang blocked the sword, he was still pushed back several steps before stabilizing himself. His hand was also cut, blood splattering everywhere.
“Boldness! A mere sect-level expert dares to attack me! Do you want to die?” The awakened Mei Longjiang roared angrily, but it was evident that he was not in good condition; he had been pushed back and injured by a sect-level expert with a single strike.
“Uh… cough… haha…” The old man, initially startled by Mei Longjiang’s awakening, nervously laughed upon seeing the blood on his sword. “Hehe… don’t shout at me like that. I didn’t expect you to be so heavily injured that blocking my strike would hurt you. It seems today is my lucky day; everything you have is now mine.”
“What? You think just because I’m injured I can’t deal with you? I was just careless earlier; since you want to die, I’ll grant your wish.” His expression darkened as he slapped his palm down, a massive palm print descending from the sky with overwhelming power that shook the heart.
“Slash!” The old man was startled but refused to back down. He swung his sword, unleashing dozens of flames that erupted forth. The terrifying heat collided with the palm print, and for a moment, neither side gained the upper hand. The entire Void was distorted from the pressure.
“Haha… you really are done for; take another move from me, Flame Explosion!” Ignoring the stalemate, he swung his sword down towards Mei Longjiang, instantly turning everything within a hundred feet into a Fire Sea, splitting the ground and boiling flames. Even the severely injured Mei Xinyuan nearby was caught in it.
“Damn it!” Mei Longjiang waved his hand to lift Mei Xinyuan, who was screaming in agony within the Fire Sea, and struck several palms to block the flames and Lava attacks, flickering out of the Fire Sea. However, his clothes and hair were singed black; he had still been affected by being in the Fire Sea.
“High and mighty King-Level Expert, now reduced to a rat, only knowing how to hide and evade. But you can’t escape; accept your fate!” The old man continued to slash down with his sword, turning the surroundings into a sea of fire that forced Mei Xinyuan to retreat continuously.
