404: Retreat temporarily and seek help!

Thinking of this, Wei Feiyu had already decided on his next arrangements.

However, no matter what, he still had to first receive this Sword Master’s strike!

This sword was too terrifying, as if it wanted to split heaven and earth; this was the strongest sword strike Sword Born Flying Feather had silently accumulated and then unleashed, enough to threaten a Cultivator at the Yang Solidification Ninth Level!

Wei Feiyu’s gaze was solemn, and he quickly changed the claws in his hands to palms, with cultivation surging within his twin palms, subsequently forming a massive shield in front of him, spanning between himself and the sword light!

A moment later, the sword light directly struck the shield, and light continuously flowed on the shield, seemingly dissipating power to resist this sword strike.

But how could Sword Born Flying Feather’s strongest sword strike be blocked so easily?

The two stalemated in mid-air for a moment, Wei Feiyu’s face was already pale, and sweat continuously dripped from his forehead.

In his perception, Sword Born Flying Feather’s sword strike was like a terrifying wave, incredibly violent, yet at the same time full of staying power, one wave surpassing the last, continuously assaulting him.

"Damn it!"

Wei Feiyu cursed under his breath, while his mind was constantly observing the surrounding situation; he was extremely worried now.

He was worried that Lü Chengtian would suddenly make a move at any moment, cooperating with Sword Born Flying Feather to form a combined attack against him!

This also prevented him from concentrating all his energy on fighting Sword Born Flying Feather.

"Never mind, I’ll get out of here first, I absolutely cannot fall here!"

"Break!"

Wei Feiyu roared, and the moment his voice spread, his internal cultivation instantly increased by fifty percent, and at the same time, the shield in front of him solidified considerably, finally with a bang.

The shield and the sword light perished together in mid-air.

But at the last moment, a small portion of Sword Qi suddenly separated from the sword light, heading straight for the Purple Rainbow Sect’s Second Elder.

Caught off guard, he was directly struck by the Sword Qi, instantly losing an arm and falling into a state of severe injury!

"Damn Sword Master!"

Wei Feiyu spat out a large mouthful of blood, forcibly shifting to the Second Elder’s side and rescuing him.

He forcibly used a secret technique, temporarily boosting his strength to break free from Sword Born Flying Feather’s restraint and rescue the Second Elder, and being injured was unavoidable.

Without saying much, Wei Feiyu’s figure flickered, and he returned to the bow of the ship.

The Second Elder quickly sat cross-legged and began to fully resist the Sword Qi on his severed arm; as long as the Sword Qi remained, he would never be able to regrow his arm.

Wei Feiyu offered a slight helping hand, but he wasn’t overly invested; he needed to maintain his state now, facing a potential two-on-one situation at any moment.

On this ship’s bow, coupled with the Soul Devouring Runes and various Magic Treasures, he was confident that he could fight one against two!

Unfortunately, when breaking through the Sect Protecting Grand Formation earlier, hundreds of Void Realm warships had already performed an overload attack, so they temporarily lost their offensive capabilities, retaining only defensive ones.

Otherwise, he could have completely launched attacks on the Wuji Pavilion from the Void Realm warships using long-range attacks.

Xunfeng Sect.

Duan Yangrong received a message from Wei Feiyu.

"Old Ghost Duan! Come quickly to the Wuji Pavilion, that old fellow Sword Born Flying Feather has appeared at the Wuji Pavilion, Lü Chengtian is still nowhere to be seen, if you don’t come, I fear being attacked from front and back!"

"What?!"

Duan Yangrong was greatly surprised:

"Sword Born Flying Feather is at the Wuji Pavilion, then his Chiyun Sword Sect must be unguarded? Wei Feiyu, why don’t I dispatch troops now to launch a major attack on the Chiyun Sword Sect? Perhaps we can take it in one fell swoop!"

Wei Feiyu’s face twisted in anger upon hearing this, and he roared:

"Old Ghost Duan! What are you thinking?! The Wuji Pavilion’s Sect Protecting Grand Formation was weakened considerably because he fully activated it earlier, which is why it could be broken. His Chiyun Sword Sect’s Sect Protecting Grand Formation is completely intact!"

"Even if Sword Born Flying Feather isn’t there, even if you personally lead the team, do you have the confidence to break his Sect Protecting Grand Formation in a short time?"

"I’m telling you, things are getting heated here, if anything happens to me, the next one to suffer will be your Xunfeng Sect!"

Duan Yangrong heard this and said awkwardly:

"Hehe, I was just joking with you. How could I not know? You wait, I’ll immediately come to the Wuji Pavilion to support you via the teleportation array, it’ll take about half a day!"

"Half a day? Half a day is too long, delays can lead to complications. How about this, I’ll activate the Void Realm Mirror again to open a Void Realm tunnel, and you can quickly come through the Void Realm tunnel!"

Duan Yangrong laughed heartily:

"Of course, I’m too lazy to travel anyway!"

"That’s not the issue. If it’s a single passage for you alone, it would require about a thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones. I need you to reimburse me; you know, to attack the Wuji Pavilion, my Purple Rainbow Sect’s family fortune has already been reduced by more than half."

Duan Yangrong felt speechless upon hearing this, thought for a moment, and then agreed:

"Alright, alright, hurry up, don’t dawdle. Once we take down the Wuji Pavilion, you must give me a portion of the spoils according to the original proportion."

"That’s natural, we’ve sworn a blood oath."

With that said, Wei Feiyu once again took out the Void Realm Mirror, and with a wave of his hand, another thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones entered it.

Subsequently, a Void Realm tunnel, just wide enough for one person to pass through, slowly opened.

A portal also appeared beside Duan Yangrong; without hesitation, Duan Yangrong stepped forward, and his entire being transformed into a stream of light, diving into it.

...

Deep within the main hall of the Wuji Pavilion, Sword Born Flying Feather sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion. Suddenly, his face flushed, and a trace of blood slowly seeped from the corner of his mouth.

His full-force strike was blocked, and he naturally suffered a slight backlash, but it was nothing serious.

But this damned Lü Chengtian, he went into some ruins and God knows what he’s up to, and now he can’t come out. He asked me to guard the Wuji Pavilion for him, but now the Wuji Pavilion’s Sect Protecting Grand Formation has been destroyed, what should I do?!

Now Wei Feiyu might still think he fell into a trap and will only let his subordinates attack, not personally make a move, but given enough time, he will inevitably see through the deception, what then?

Facing him alone is not a problem for me, but overall, the people of Wuji Pavilion are at a disadvantage. What exactly should I do?!

The most critical issue isn’t even this: what if Wei Feiyu calls on Duan Yangrong of the Xunfeng Sect to attack the Wuji Pavilion together? Then it’s completely over. At that point, I’ll be powerless and can only escape to the Chiyun Sword Sect!

Trying to ask other forces for help now is also a bit too late. Thousand Stars State is extremely vast, and even top-tier experts would need a certain amount of time to arrive. This period is completely enough for the other side to launch their attack!

Moreover, it’s hard to guarantee that the Purple Rainbow Sect’s current attack isn’t part of an agreement with the other two provinces. Perhaps the other three major forces are currently confronting their opponents and are unable to assist the Wuji Pavilion!

Sword Born Flying Feather frowned, his mind constantly working. He couldn’t think of any particularly good solutions, and finally could only curse:

"Damn it! That damned Lü Chengtian, just wait until you come back, I’ll show you!"

...

Without Wei Feiyu’s interference, the situation at the Wuji Pavilion could barely be maintained.

The casualty ratio between the two sides was roughly one to one, with the Wuji Pavilion’s people having a slight advantage, as Thousand Stars State was the strongest major province after all.

However, the advantage was very small.

Even so, Zhu Zhixun was immensely frustrated seeing his Wuji Pavilion Disciples constantly falling dead. His heart was filled with unvented rage, and he could only relentlessly pursue one of the opponent’s Elders!

However, individuals at this Realm all possess various means; unless there’s a complete overwhelming disparity, like Zhu Zhixun facing Wei Feiyu, it’s actually very difficult to achieve a kill.

"Dong dong dong..."

Suddenly, a series of drumbeats sounded from the Void Realm warships in mid-air; this was the signal to withdraw troops.

Everyone from the Purple Rainbow Sect and the Xunfeng Sect showed a hint of confusion on their faces upon hearing this sound.

They were in the middle of an attack, so why the sudden signal to withdraw? Were they not fighting anymore?

However, they dared not disobey their Sect Master’s command, so they quickly disengaged from their opponents and flew towards the Void Realm warships.

A small number of Cultivators who couldn’t disengage in time were also tragically killed on the spot after the other members of the Wuji Pavilion freed up their hands.

Upon seeing this, the Second Elder also let out a sigh of relief. It would be good if the opponent could retreat after realizing the difficulty. He knew very well that the Pavilion Master was not in the Wuji Pavilion at the moment!

He also clearly understood that the reason the opponent retreated was because the Pavilion Master had not yet appeared, coupled with Sword Master holding down the fort at the Wuji Pavilion.

The Second Elder was anxious, not knowing what to do next.

But no matter what, he still had to relay this message to the Pavilion Master as soon as possible, so he could make a decision!
