Guo Ruomin aimed to trap Xu Feng with these two strikes, ensuring he wouldn't escape, so the force was not great. Xu Feng and Ultraman stood on either side of the water surface, managing to block Guo Ruomin's two sword strikes.
Xu Feng shouted while wielding his blade, "Come on, you old fool! Come kill me and see whether you die or I do!" Just moments ago, Guo Ruomin had only used fifty percent of his strength in those two strikes. Ultraman was fine, but Xu Feng was nearly sent flying.
Seeing Ultraman suddenly appear, Guo Ruomin recognized him as a Puppet at first glance. Although this Puppet only had the attack power of a Mid Stage of Nascent Soul, it was practical and categorized as a Supreme Treasure, making it extremely expensive. The fact that this person could produce a Puppet indicated substantial financial resources. A Yuan Ying Puppet's strength was enough to kill an average Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator, and that broad sword was likely something he had seized.
With Xu Feng's guilt established, Guo Ruomin no longer held back and lunged forward.
"Sunshine Three Layers."
Guo Ruomin's sword transformed into three streams of white light, pressing down layer by layer, dazzling brilliance completely engulfing Xu Feng.
Xu Feng's figure suddenly vanished within the sword light, leaving only Ultraman to withstand Guo Ruomin's overwhelming strike.
With a splash, there was no doubt; Ultraman was struck by the sword and sent crashing into the water below, creating a large disturbance. Under the immense force of the sword, Ultraman plummeted to the riverbed, smashing a large hole as the Mora Staff slipped from his grip. The water surface closed over him, burying him deep beneath without a trace.
In just one strike, Guo Ruomin severely injured Ultraman; indeed, a Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator was formidable!
Xu Feng narrowly escaped this blow and emerged from twenty yards away on the water surface, spitting out blood and looking pale as paper.
Guo Ruomin paused slightly and thought to himself, "With his Golden Core Stage strength, he actually survived my full-force strike; he truly has some skill." Without giving Xu Feng a moment to breathe, Guo Ruomin dashed forward again.
This time Xu Feng did not let him attack; with his spirit bow in hand, he shot an arrow first. The Moonchaser Bow had not been used for a long time mainly because Xu Feng's opponents were too strong for its limited lethality to be effective. Now facing his strongest adversary yet, Xu Feng decided to use the Moonchaser Bow.
"You dare!"
Guo Ruomin turned abruptly mid-charge. Xu Feng's Spiritual Arrow posed no threat to him; even if hit, it wouldn't cause significant harm. However, the severely injured Seven Young Masters' Xiao Fei was another matter entirely.
Xu Feng aimed this arrow at Xiao Fei, who was sitting on the water surface recovering. At that moment, Xiao Fei was gravely wounded and on the brink of death; even a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator could kill him—let alone Xu Feng.
Attack the enemy when they must be saved. Indeed, Guo Ruomin retreated just in time, dispersing the Spiritual Arrow with a single sword strike, standing protectively in front of Xiao Fei and daring not to advance further.
Xu Feng was relentless, firing ten arrows in quick succession, all of which were intercepted by Guo Ruomin. The two fell into a brief stalemate; Xu Feng could not break through, while Guo Ruomin, despite his strength, dared not leave the vicinity of the Seven Young Masters and Xiao Fei.
The distance between them was twenty zhang. Xu Feng's Moonchaser Bow gave him a significant advantage, but with Xiao Fei as a burden, Guo Ruomin found himself in a passive position, furious and seething with rage.
"You may be tough, but do you think this will save you from death? Dream on."
Guo Ruomin waved his hand, unleashing a burst of golden light that enveloped Xiao Fei completely. Inside the golden light, Xiao Fei appeared as if seated on a lotus like Guanyin... uh, like a monk reciting scriptures.
"High-grade Vajra Talisman!" Xu Feng had seen this type of Treasure Talisman at the magical artifact shop. Once activated, no one at the Divine Separation Stage could hope to break through it. At that time, Xu Feng had already purchased several magical artifacts but refrained from buying this one for fear of attracting thieves.
With the protection of the Vajra Talisman, Xu Feng's Moonchaser Bow could no longer harm Xiao Fei. Guo Ruomin used a Zhang Bao talisman, throwing out four hundred thousand spirit stones, feeling quite pained by the expenditure. All his pent-up anger was directed at Xu Feng.
Xu Feng dared not linger; once the Treasure Talisman appeared, he fled immediately. In terms of speed, Xu Feng could not compare to Guo Ruomin. He hurriedly dove into the water, hoping to evade like he did when hiding from Hua Qian Zhi while simultaneously swallowing a drop of diluted Earth Immortal Essence.
Guo Ruomin's sword flew out mercilessly, disregarding where Xu Feng was hiding. Waves of sword energy slashed through Donao River, leaving it riddled with holes. A large number of unfortunate fish and shrimp were cut down, staining the eastern waters red with blood.
Xu Feng hid and dodged in the river but ultimately could not escape the dense rain of swords. Occasionally forced to surface, he resembled a fleeing dolphin, constantly popping up and then diving back down.
"Come out!"
After chasing for two or three li, Guo Ruomin caught up ahead of time and struck down with his sword, nearly cleaving the river surface in two. What immense power! Xiao Fei was still behind; he dared not leave for too long.
Xu Feng was also forced out of the water by Guo Ruomin's powerful strike and landed on the riverbank. In his frantic escape, Xu Feng's spiritual energy was severely depleted, and he had sustained several injuries from Guo Ruomin’s attacks. His robe was tattered and even his undergarments were visible.
"I'll see you run! Do you think you can escape? You’ve cost me a Superior Talisman; dying here would be no injustice." Guo Ruomin gritted his teeth in frustration; after all this time spent without being able to capture a Golden Core Cultivator made him lose face. Fortunately, no one was around to witness it.
"I won't run; as for whether you will or not, I don't know."
Xu Feng's eyes gleamed with a ferocious light like that of a mad wolf as he formed a hand seal and commanded, "Swift!"
Eighteen Flying Swords suddenly appeared, surrounding Guo Ruomin in an instant. The Gale Sword Formation had finally made its move.
"Sword Formation!" Guo Ruomin recognized the situation, his expression turning grave. No wonder this kid was so arrogant; it turned out he had mastered a Sword Formation at such a young age, which indeed gave him the confidence to act so boldly.
Once caught in the formation, escaping was extremely difficult, especially with this kind of Killing Formation. It was quick; before one could even think of fleeing, the Sword Formation would activate, and it would end swiftly. After that, whether one lived or died would be revealed.
"Kill!"
The Flying Swords circled in the sky, and with Xu Feng's sharp command, they shot down from all directions.
"Break!"
Guo Ruomin wielded his treasured sword, defending himself without a gap.
Clang! Clang! Clang...
The harsh sound of metal clashing echoed continuously as the Flying Swords relentlessly targeted Guo Ruomin, only to be deflected again and again. Within the Sword Formation, Guo Ruomin blocked the incoming Flying Swords. Golden light danced and sparks flew as he resembled a blooming firework, illuminating the desolate river surface.
Finally, the painful yet dazzling moment passed, and the fireworks extinguished.
Guo Ruomin stood on the riverbank, his hair disheveled like a bird's nest. He had four wounds on his body: two on his legs, one on his shoulder, and one at his waist. While these wounds were not fatal, they were undoubtedly serious injuries.
The eighteen Flying Swords vanished. Xu Feng's face turned pale with fright; the Gale Sword Formation ultimately failed to kill Guo Ruomin, who was at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul.
Guo Ruomin no longer displayed the arrogance he once had. Without a doubt, this person was qualified to challenge him. He had not intended to make enemies, but was drawn into this situation by Xiao Fei. Four wounds on his body were being invaded by external spiritual energy, tearing at the injuries and causing his vital blood to flow out.
Guo Ruomin still had the strength to fight, but he could also see that Xu Feng had some energy left. Activating the Sword Formation consumed a lot of spiritual power, which was a known fact in Modern Clerk. For someone like Xu Feng, who was at the Late Stage of Golden Core, to be able to unleash such a powerful Sword Formation was indeed an anomaly.
To kill or not to kill? Guo Ruomin hesitated. If this person could activate the Sword Formation one more time, it would not be him who would die.
Xu Feng was also contemplating. He could launch another attack, and this time there was an eighty to ninety percent chance he could kill Guo Ruomin. However, he would exhaust all his spiritual power and would not even have the strength to escape. Any random Golden Core Stage cultivator could take his life.
To gamble or not to gamble? Xu Feng was also in doubt.
In the distance on the river surface, Xiao Fei opened his eyes and slowly stood up. After a brief period of recovery, he managed to stabilize his injuries; his life was saved, but it was impossible for him to act now.
Xiao Fei was unaware of the situation and only saw Guo Ruomin with four severe wounds bleeding profusely. Opposite him, Xu Feng's face was pale and he too had sustained injuries.
Did he injure Guo Changlao? How could that be possible? This ant...
Xu Feng glanced sideways at Xiao Fei, and a chill crept into his heart; he did not dare to meet his gaze. Just moments ago, the shrimp in his eyes had instilled fear in him.
"We're leaving," Guo Ruomin finally made a decision. Perhaps he could kill Xu Feng, but the cost would be too high. This was not Xiaoyao Sect's territory; one wrong move could lead to death.
Xiao Fei felt unwilling but lacked the courage to say anything further. He followed Guo Ruomin, walking away dejectedly.
Xu Feng watched them disappear and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Damn it, remember this: you destroyed one Ultraman of mine; next time, I want you to pay me back with ten.
Xu Feng did not dive into the river to search for Ultraman; even if he found it, it would just be a pile of scrap metal. Killing three Yuan Ying this time was enough to buy a new one, and there were plenty of spirit stones left by Fourth Young Master.
What should have been a perfect conclusion unexpectedly turned into a mess because of Xiao Fei's interference. Xu Feng silently vowed: "Xiao Fei, next time you'll see what happens. Remember this... if you don't remember, I will."
Xu Feng took a few medicinal pills, rested briefly, and released his Flying Sword to fly towards Xibai City.
During this journey, Xu Feng took the opportunity to purchase an accurate version of the Zheguo map, which allowed him to become more familiar with the geography of Zheguo. He could locate several well-known sects on the map.
Consort Zhu Lin is located in the northern part of Zheguo, sixty thousand miles away. Flying there would be exhausting.
Zheguo has a sect that specializes in teleportation services, known as Shenxing Sect. When Xu Feng first arrived in Xibai City, he came out from the teleportation array of Shenxing Sect.
Zheguo is vast, so for convenience, Shenxing Sect has set up a Teleportation Array every fifty thousand miles. Xiaoyao Sect Young Master Xiao Duan also teleported from Xibai City to Ming Mountain.
Xu Feng has now killed Huo Yin Yue, Xiang Xiao, and Xiao Hun, offending Sinking Sand Valley, Nine Dragon Pool, and Xiaoyao Sect in succession. Any one of these Three Factions is not something Xu Feng can contend with. Especially Xiaoyao Sect; if they find out that Xu Feng is responsible, they will likely pursue him throughout all of Zheguo to capture him and exact revenge.
In three months, Li Hongxiu may leave Xiaoyao Sect and return to Consort Zhu Lin. Xu Feng decided to take the initiative and go to Consort Zhu Lin to wait for her. This way, he could avoid being hunted by various factions and also take advantage of this time to refine three Yuan Ying and improve his cultivation.
Refining Yuan Ying no longer poses any psychological pressure for Xu Feng. If the demons want to define him as such, what can he do? You are a demon; I am a demon too!
