The Golden Flying Sword surged several feet, slicing through the void and vanishing into the formation before instantly returning. It appeared before Xunuo, its hilt adorned with a dozen storage bags.
Xunuo's face turned pale, but a faint smile crept onto his lips as he murmured, "The speed of this Flying Sword Artifact is truly not just for show."
Realizing that a sneak attack was impossible, Xunuo swiftly changed tactics: using the Heavenly Shadow Spike to break through the defenses of the Crimson Gold Sword and eliminate an enemy. Seeing this strategy succeed brought him a slight sense of relief as he stowed away the Crimson Gold Flying Sword and the storage bags, leaving only the Five Shadow Needles to guard him. He held a spirit stone in each hand to recover his mana.
As for the remaining four within the formation, they were slowly being worn down by its power. There was no urgency to recover their mana now.
However, even without Xunuo's intervention, the situation for the four became increasingly dire. Previously, Xunuo had directed most of the formation's power towards killing one person, leaving the others relatively unpressured. But now that Xunuo had eliminated the primary target, the formation's power was distributed among the remaining four, making their situation much more difficult.
As Thunder Balls continued to rain down alongside Rolling Stones, giant logs, and wind blades striking them, their defenses became strained. Lacking any other means of protection, they quickly became battered and bruised.
Just as their lives hung by a thread, the surrounding environment suddenly shifted. The four found themselves back in the Copper Sand Sea. Not only had the formation that besieged them vanished, but Xunuo in his armor was also nowhere to be seen.
This was not due to any benevolence from Xunuo; rather, he had realized just moments ago that the Black Wind Old Monster had left Chaotic Valley and was racing toward them. From his speed, Xunuo could tell that the Black Wind Old Monster was definitely using a magical artifact.
Without a moment's hesitation, Xunuo activated his only high-level Flying Talisman. He retracted the formation and artifact and flew sideways while discarding two spirit stones in his hands to replace them with one that could instantly replenish his mana.
Xunuo anticipated that the Black Wind Old Monster would take this opportunity to intercept him, so he kept a close watch on his movements. However, he did not expect that the Black Wind Old Monster possessed a Flying Artifact. This realization put Xunuo in grave danger.
Most importantly, Xunuo could not escape beyond the Copper Sand Sea's perimeter. He was bound by a death contract; if he dared to flee, a Foundation Stage Cultivator would strike him down from afar. It would be a quicker death than being caught by the Black Wind Old Monster. Thus, Xunuo could only fly laterally around Chaotic Valley while waiting for an opportunity to escape into it.
They had to pray that the Black Wind Old Monster did not possess a Tracking Disk. The Tracking Talisman was not very accurate in locating the target. However, Xunuo could accurately grasp the position of the Black Wind Old Monster at any time, which provided a chance for escape.
The four Cultivators from the Black Dragon Society inexplicably found a way out and were about to flee towards the Chaotic Valley. Suddenly, a powerful wave of magical energy surged from the direction of the Chaotic Valley. The four Cultivators instantly recognized that it was the second-in-command of the Black Dragon Society, the Black Wind Old Monster.
The members of the Black Dragon Society both feared and respected this second-in-command. This was due to the formidable magical power of the Black Wind Old Monster and his fiery temperament. Upon seeing that the Black Wind Old Monster was approaching, the four Cultivators felt a sense of calm. With this second-in-command present, the Alchemist who had provoked them was in grave danger. Moreover, Xunuo had deep-seated enmity with the Black Wind Old Monster, which was well-known throughout the Chaotic Valley.
In an instant, the Black Wind Old Monster arrived riding a horse-drawn Flying Artifact without reins. He glanced coldly at the four below and asked, "Which direction did Xunuo go?"
The four Cultivators were already disoriented from the earlier attack. Furthermore, Xunuo's high-level Flying Talisman allowed for an extraordinary escape speed. They had no idea which direction Xunuo had fled.
Faced with the question from the Black Wind Old Monster, they could only stand there in silence, their faces flushed with embarrassment. Seeing this situation, anger surged within the Black Wind Old Monster. Five Tenth Layer Cultivators had not only failed to kill an Eighth Layer Cultivator but had almost lost their lives to his subordinates instead.
What infuriated the Black Wind Old Monster even more was that they didn’t even know where their opponent had gone. He roared in fury, "A bunch of useless fools! What good are you?"
With a flick of his hand, four Wind Blade Spells shot towards them.
Although the four Cultivators knew that the Black Wind Old Monster was exceptionally ruthless, they did not expect him to suddenly strike. They hurriedly summoned their artifacts to counter the incoming wind blades. None of them activated their defensive Talismans because they knew that under the Black Wind Old Monster's spell, those would be as fragile as paper; only their artifacts could withstand some of it.
However, even though they summoned their artifacts, they had already exhausted much of their magical power earlier and could not fully resist a strike from the Black Wind Old Monster. The strength of his wind blades far exceeded what they had anticipated. As soon as their artifacts made contact with the wind blades, they were sent flying back; there was almost no delay as each wind blade sliced through them. In the next moment, only four corpses remained where they stood.
The Black Wind Old Monster did not even glance at the bodies. He quickly took out a Tracking Talisman and flicked it with his finger; it ignited spontaneously without any wind. Within the flames appeared a scene of Xunuo using a talisman to escape. The Black Wind Old Monster sneered coldly and stomped his foot on his flying chariot, which buzzed loudly as it sped towards Xunuo's escape route.
As Xunuo fled, he kept a close watch on any movements from the Black Wind Old Monster. Noticing that he did not change direction to follow him but instead raced towards where he had just slain an Evil Cultivator, Xunuo immediately realized that the Black Wind Old Monster did not have a Tracking Disk in hand. This gave him some confidence in his escape.
Moments later, Xunuo changed direction again, fleeing towards Chaotic Valley. At this moment, Xunuo truly understood the power of the Flying Artifact.
To Xunuo, the advanced Flying Talisman was incredibly swift. The Magic Shield began to warp under the intense wind pressure. However, compared to the Black Wind Old Monster chasing closely behind, it was still lacking significantly. Even though Xunuo managed to change directions several times to create some distance, the Black Wind Old Monster continued to pursue at an astonishing speed, closing the gap between them.
Gradually, Xunuo could no longer rely on changing directions to increase the distance between them. The space between them had shrunk to the point where the Black Wind Old Monster could track Xunuo's magical fluctuations directly, without needing a Tracking Talisman. This made Xunuo's situation increasingly perilous.
Unable to shake off the Black Wind Old Monster, Xunuo could only find ways to hinder it. The most effective means of obstruction would naturally be magical artifacts. However, Xunuo's artifact attack range was hardly commendable.
Even Xunuo himself quickly abandoned this option and opted for Attack Talismans as a means of obstruction.
In any case, Xunuo absolutely could not allow the Black Wind Old Monster to enter the range of his artifact attacks. The magical attack range of the Black Wind Old Monster was nearly equivalent to the reach of his Divine Sense. This meant that wherever his Divine Sense extended, spells and artifacts could reach as well. This far exceeded that of an ordinary Cultivator. Not to mention that Xunuo's magical power was significantly weaker than that of someone with a Divine Sense.
