Outside the gorge, the expressions of the five people slightly changed as they quietly discussed among themselves.
"Destroying Sword Technique!" Zhao Qingtian let out a deep shout, and a violently chaotic sword net had already crushed down upon Li Lin's head.
At that moment, a sharp and cold light suddenly filled Li Lin's eyes. In front of him, a multicolored light orb a few meters in size gathered, and within the Dantian Qi Sea, the five-colored martial Dan rapidly circulated. The broad meridians within his body surged like floodwaters into the multicolored light orb, merging together under a force of spiritual power.
"Vermilion Bird Art, go." Li Lin shouted loudly, and with the final hand seal made, the light instantly transformed into a phoenix energy bird. The terrifying phoenix energy body instantly turned into dozens of meters in size, its fierce aura soaring to the skies, bringing up towering flames that instantly enveloped a space nearly a thousand meters in size around it. The air burned with a crackling sound, and the terrifying aura raged to the extreme.
At this moment, the Vermilion Bird Art, fully condensed by Li Lin with his fourfold Martial Soul cultivation, its power could be imagined. Upon casting the Vermilion Bird Art, Li Lin's complexion also turned pale again, having fully exerted himself in deploying the Vermilion Bird Art.
In an instant, two massive forces of terrifying magnitude collided, like two bombs smashing into each other, and at the point of collision, sparks flew everywhere.
Violent airflows spread out, and flames, like light waves, spread out in an arc from the high sky of the gorge. From the ground of the gorge, countless cracks and fissures appeared, layers of soil and giant rocks were swept into the air, followed by a series of sonic booms...
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Terrifying gales swept across like a storm, with firewaves spreading within a radius of a thousand meters, coloring the space ripples in crimson.
"Thud thud..."
The gale swept through, and Li Lin let out a muffled groan from his throat, his body directly shaken and flew twenty to thirty meters away. Despite the defense of the Qingling armor, his body was still surging with blood, unable to suppress a mouthful of fresh blood from spewing out. Zhao Qingtian's strike was too powerful, even his current deployment of the Vermilion Bird Art couldn't counter it, and Li Lin's heart truly became solemn.
"Thud thud..." Zhao Qingtian also staggered back dozens of steps, his face turning pale with astonishment, his blood surging within, eyes filled with shock, seemingly not expecting that his opponent could withstand his Destroying Sword Technique. Li Lin's strength was much stronger than he had imagined.
"Zhao Qinghai, you better scram now, or one day I will make your Zhao family disappear in smoke." In the sky, Cuiyu repelled Zhao Qinghai's attack, cold eyes shooting out, a chill spreading, and her hair vibrating behind her, her aura, at this moment, was nothing like that of a maid.
"Humph, a mere maid dares to speak wildly, what do you think you are!" Zhao Qinghai snorted coldly.
"Boss, are you okay?" A massive body came to Li Lin's side, sensing something wrong with the boss. Little Dragon shook off Zeng Chuxiong and hurried over.
"I'm fine." Li Lin replied, his gaze fixed on the distant Zhao Qingtian, deciding in his heart that he could only play his last card now.
In the gorge, the brief exchange of blows stopped for a moment. Cuiyu's eyes grew colder as she stared at Zhao Qinghai and coldly said: "Zhao Qinghai, one day, I will make your Zhao family regret it, even your biggest backer in the Yunyang Sect won't be able to protect your Zhao family."
"Big talk, let me see what a little maid like you can do." Zhao Qinghai's face darkened, though he felt Cuiyu's extraordinariness, her words enraged him. His hand seals changed, and instantly, a whooshing sound of breaking wind appeared in front of him.
"Shoo shoo." In the blink of an eye, a sky full of sharp arrows burst forth from in front of Zhao Qinghai, like a torrential rain, countless sharp arrows enveloping Cuiyu. Each arrow seemed to possess the power to pierce through space, gathering together, their might already terrifying to the extreme.
Stolen story; please report.
"Soul Condensate." Li Lin's expression changed instantly, Zhao Qinghai's attack was purely a soul estimate, and it had reached the level of Soul Condensate.
Below the level of Soul Martial, it's hard for spiritual practitioners to materialize soul power, and reaching the level of Soul Condensate is absolutely terrifying. Without absolutely powerful soul power, it's impossible to achieve, and Li Lin knew at least he couldn't do it at the moment. His soul power, though stronger than those of the same cultivation level, hadn't reached such a level to attack purely with Soul Condensate.
Cuiyu's expression became colder, and suddenly, her hand seals began to change, her hair strands becoming straight and parallel, each strand seemingly possessing the power to pierce through space.
As her hand seals changed, in just an instant, Cuiyu's aura surged, and spatial ripples stirred everywhere around her, countless waves like giant waves of the ocean, spreading violently with her as the center.
In these violent ripples, the space itself felt heavy, and everyone far away felt as if their souls were being pricked, with waves directly attacking the soul bursting out from these spatial ripples.
"Soul Condensate as well." Li Lin was amazed, now feeling an absolute suppression in the depths of his own soul, vaguely feeling a sense of pain.
"To have reached such a terrifying level." Li Lin marveled, Cuiyu's soul power was in no way inferior to Zhao Qinghai's. Zhao Qinghai was considered the most talented spiritual practitioner in the Yunyang Sect among the younger generation in nearly a thousand years, but Cuiyu, at her age, was even younger by four to five years. Such talent, compared to Zhao Qinghai, was much stronger.
In the midst of Li Lin's amazement, the soul-piercing arrows in the sky and the spatial ripples of soul waves collided instantly, and then energy from both sides was annihilated.
The explosive release of violent energy began, and dazzling lights started to emit, making anyone who looked at it feel their souls trembling. This terrifying soul confrontation made Zhao Qinghai and Zeng Chuxiong temporarily stop their attack on Li Lin, surprisedly watching the sky.
"Shoo shoo shoo..."
This massive force, at this moment, didn't produce any explosive sounds, only a soul-shaking slicing sound that lightly echoed in the space, spreading a piercingly sharp force everywhere, causing the entire space above the gorge to begin twisting.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
As this terrifying energy was annihilated, two overwhelming forces respectively struck the two people, who were then shaken and flew away.
"Cuiyu." Li Lin, startled, instantly had a swirl of air flash under his feet, his figure leaping out swiftly, landing like lightning just before Cuiyu was about to hit the ground. Bending over, he caught Cuiyu's thick shoulders and waist with both hands, instantly enveloping her delicate body in his arms.
"Thud thud..."
Just at that moment, Zhao Qinghai's hands and feet hit the ground as he staggered back, his face already pale.
"Qingtian, Chuxiong, keep going, don't give them a chance to breathe." Zhao Qinghai landed and urgently spoke to Zhao Qingtian and Zeng Chuxiong.
"Lin, I can't fight any longer, run." Cuiyu said immediately, her complexion at this moment terribly pale, her whole person somewhat weak and listless.
"Little Dragon, let's go." In a flash, Li Lin instantly retracted what could be retracted, a swirl of air flashed under his feet, and he took off with wings on his back, instantly fleeing towards the outside of the gorge.
Little Dragon's massive body suddenly contracted, not a bit slower than Li Lin, also darting towards the outside of the gorge in an instant.
"Chase." Zhao Qingtian shouted loudly, his true energy vibrating, and he too directly lunged towards the outside of the gorge.
The five disciples of Yunyang Sect outside the gorge, at this moment, did not dare to block Li Lin, immediately clearing the way, but Zhao Qingtian was instantly in pursuit.
"Whoosh whoosh..." Zeng Chuxiong and Zhao Qinghai also immediately lunged towards the outside of the gorge, but at this time, Zhao Qinghai's speed was greatly reduced, probably due to the last attack with Cuiyu, which had definitely affected him.
Deploying the Wings of Wind, combined with the technique of light and shadow flicker, Li Lin took off, his speed was originally extremely fast, but at this moment, holding Cuiyu in his arms, his speed was significantly reduced.
On the ground, Zhao Qingtian was the first to chase, dragging a trail of afterimages behind him, his speed extremely fast, but as a fire attribute warrior, he was unable to pursue Li Lin in the air.
Little Dragon was now on Li Lin's shoulder, turning its head to look back and said, "Boss, go faster, they are catching up."
Li Lin's true energy surged out to the extreme, his complexion turned a shade paler again, the wings on his back vibrated, and his speed increased once more, leaving a trail of afterimages in the mid-air.
Facing the man with a somewhat pale complexion, Cuiyu's beautiful eyes were fixed on him, silent, her hands unconsciously wrapping around Li Lin's waist.
Not knowing how much time had passed, Little Dragon's voice came again: "Boss, they can't catch up anymore."
Li Lin once again desperately fled for half an hour, and only then did his figure land on a mountain top.
"Sigh..." Retracting the Wings of Wind behind him, Li Lin somewhat regretted not bringing the Celestial Winged Snow Lion with him. With the speed of the Celestial Winged Snow Lion, escaping would have been much easier.
After breathing heavily for a few moments, Li Lin looked behind him, and the figures of Zhao Qinghai and the others had long since disappeared from sight.
Cuiyu stood up from Li Lin's arms, her face somehow blushing, then she tied her scattered black hair behind her head, revealing her current somewhat pale complexion.
"Cuiyu, how are you?" Li Lin asked with concern.
