Zhao Yun raised his head. He knew that facing such a powerful opponent, only by going all out could he have a chance of survival.

"Dragon's Roar Resounds Through the Nine Heavens!"

Zhao Yun roared, his blood and qi surging in reverse, forcibly unleashing his potential.

He took a deep breath, and a surge of powerful true energy erupted from his dantian, flowing upstream along his meridians and finally converging at the tip of the silver spear.

The silver spear traced a dazzling trajectory in the air, accompanied by a deafening dragon's roar. A phantom silver dragon rose from the spear tip, soaring into the sky, and collided once again with the blue-robed cultivator's afterimage in mid-air.

"This is... the manifestation of true qi?" For the first time, a look of jealousy appeared on Li Xin's face.

He never expected that a mere martial artist would not only comprehend the martial arts, but also develop a profound understanding of the art.

It is said that one must cultivate martial arts to the fourth stage before one's qi can condense and take form. However, judging from the qi and blood of the person in front of me, he has only recently entered the third stage of martial arts. It is completely unbelievable that the true qi in his body can actually take form and attack.

"You cannot be allowed to live today!"

Li Xin abandoned his contempt, and his inner magical power surged, enveloping his entire body like a blue star about to explode.

"Heavenly Sword Domain, activate!"

He let out a low shout, and the vortex suddenly expanded, transforming into a blue sword domain that enveloped Zhao Yun.

Countless illusory sword shadows darted through the domain, each one an absolute king within its grasp.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yun's pupils gradually dilated. Although he was not a cultivator, he understood what it meant for a Golden Core cultivator to be able to cultivate a Core Domain.

Ordinary Golden Core cultivators never even touch the threshold of the Core Domain before they die. Conversely, Golden Core cultivators who can cultivate the Core Domain are invariably true powerhouses who command respect in their respective regions.

"Hmph! Even if I die, I'll make you lose a piece of your flesh!"

Zhao Yun roared, and as his silver spear danced, the silver dragon that had been formed seemed to come alive. Its scales shimmered with dazzling light, and its roar became even louder, carrying an aura that could tear through the void as it charged straight toward the overwhelming azure sword domain.

"Hmph, a mere mortal martial artist dares to try and shake my Heavenly Sword Domain?" Upon seeing this, Li Xin sneered and increased the output of his magic power, making the sword shadows in the sword domain even denser and more powerful.

puff……

Zhao Yun retreated rapidly, coughing up blood. His armor was shattered by the sword shadows, and dozens of shocking wounds appeared on his body.

He struggled to lift his head; such a simple movement seemed to exhaust all his strength.

"The dragon's soul will never perish, and the fighting spirit will live on forever!"

Zhao Yun silently recited this in his heart, his strong will supporting him so that he wouldn't collapse immediately.

"go to hell!"

Li Xin made no attempt to conceal his murderous intent as he manipulated his sword shadows to rush towards Zhao Yun, intending to dismember him.

Just then, a huge flying spirit beast swooped down from the clouds, followed by a flash of starlight, and forcibly pulled Zhao Yun out of the sword domain, carrying him towards the sky.

"Zilong, hold on, I'm coming!" Kongming's voice clearly reached Zhao Yun's ears.

Zhao Yun looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "Prime Minister... have you sent the warhorses?"

"Zilong, don't worry, everything is going smoothly. You should heal your injuries quickly!" Kongming said as he rode his flying spirit beast, taking out a jade bottle and handing it to Zhao Yun.

Without a word, Zhao Yun took the jade bottle. As soon as the pill entered his stomach, he sat cross-legged on the flying spirit beast and began to repair his damaged meridians and flesh.

"Hmph! Trying to run away!"

Li Xin snorted coldly. As a top expert on the Golden Core Peak Ranking, if he let these two get away, what would become of his prestige?

It then transformed into a streak of sword light and chased after the direction in which Kongming had fled.

Kongming looked back and saw that, without him noticing, several cultivators had appeared behind him and were flanking him from all directions.

"Zilong, hold on tight!"

Seeing that several cultivators were chasing after him, Kongming gave instructions to Zhao Yun beside him, and then patted his flying spirit beast.

The flying spirit beast let out a long cry, suddenly changed direction in the air, and accelerated towards another direction.

A resolute glint flashed in Kongming's eyes. He knew that speed alone was far from enough to escape the pursuit of these powerful figures; he had to find advantageous terrain to have any chance of survival.

At that moment, a sharp, piercing sound came from behind, like a leech clinging to a bone, determined to stop Kongming.

After several days, the cultivators at the rear gradually lost patience...

"Where do you think you're going!" Li Xin roared, and streaks of sword light slashed towards Kong Ming.

The cultivators following behind them also unleashed their unique skills. In an instant, the sky was filled with light, and spells and sword energy intertwined to form an impenetrable net, attempting to completely seal off Kongming and Zhao Yun.

Tweet…

The flying spirit beast cried out in pain, and its speed decreased sharply due to several days of fleeing.

Kongming quickly cast a spell to temporarily stabilize the spirit beast. But at this moment, even more spells attacked them.

Kongming frowned and looked down. The grassland was gradually thinning out. If they flew any further, they would reach a desert.

That desert was the border area between the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, and was regarded as a death desert, vast and boundless, hiding countless unknowns and dangers.

Kongming secretly calculated that although this desert was fraught with danger, it was also an excellent opportunity for them to escape.

Kongming made a decisive decision and struck the back of the flying spirit beast with his palm.

Sensing its master's urgency, the spirit beast unleashed an unprecedented speed, plunging headlong into the vast, desolate desert like a shooting star streaking across the sky.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators' expressions changed drastically. Although they were highly skilled, they had long been aware of the terror of this desert. They all hovered at the edge of the desert, waiting for Li Xin's decision.

"Hmph, a mere desert, just a rumor, how could it possibly stump us high-level cultivators!"

Li Xin snorted coldly and took the lead in chasing into the desert.

Seeing this, the other cultivators, though somewhat uneasy, still followed closely behind...

In the desert, sandstorms raged, and as far as the eye could see, there was only endless yellow sand, making it difficult to discern directions.

Kongming rode his flying spirit beast through the sand dunes when suddenly the beast beneath him let out a long cry, as if it had sensed something terrifying.

Then, a column of sand suddenly surged up from below, moving at an astonishing speed, almost closing in on them in the blink of an eye.

Without a second thought, Kongming grabbed Zhao Yun and leaped into the air, only to see the enormous flying spirit beast instantly swallowed up by the yellow sand.

When the yellow sand settled, the flying spirit beast had turned into a pile of scattered bones and broken feathers, falling into the desert in an extremely bloody scene.

Upon closer inspection, the rising yellow sand was clearly formed from bloodthirsty tarantulas, baring their fangs and claws as they burrowed back into the desert.

Kongming dared not be careless. His magical power surged forth, forming a thin, cicada-wing-like magical light wing behind him, carrying Zhao Yun as he glided through the air.

Just before landing, he pushed off with both feet again, using the momentum to leap up once more, avoiding direct contact with the desert...
