*Boom!*
Ling Bao’er shot out of the mountain.
She was a mess but still had Sacred Immortal Sword’s shield that spared her from the worst damage, leaving only some scratches.
Li Feihong’s eye twitched, coming for another attack.
Ling Bao’er was focused now, concentrating her strength on the fight, while also looking for an escape route.
She blocked a few more attacks, shocking Li Feihong further. “That was no fluke!”
It was unbelievable how a Nascent Soul like him couldn’t deal with one lousy Golden Core cultivator. His only saving grace was that she was only in the Golden Core Stage, for he would’ve died in a fight against another in the Nascent Soul Stage.
“The girl has such skill despite being so young. She must be 8th, no, 9th grade in talent. She can’t be allowed to live!” Li Feihong was set on killing her.
Ling Bao’er felt his thirst for her life, and her heart sank. “The geezer wants to kill me. I have to escape right now!”
It was an impossible task with a Nascent Soul right in front of her, but Ling Bao’er found her chance.
She roared, “Rotten geezer, I won’t give you Sacred Immortal Sword even if I die!”
Ling Bao’er’s spiritual power burst into the Sacred Immortal Sword. The sword released a blinding light, but did not attack him. It turned into a ray of light and shot in the opposite direction, and the Sacred Immortal Sword was gone in a flash.
Li Feihong panicked. He wanted the girl dead, but the sword took priority. An Upper World immortal item wasn’t easy to come by. “Once I get the immortal sword, you’re dead!”
Li Feihong gave up on Ling Bao’er and chased the Sacred Immortal Sword.
She sighed in relief. This was the only way for her to survive, by giving up the immortal sword. She used this chance to rush back to Soaring Immortal Mountain.
At least the mountain was close. Ling Bao’er hardly had the strength to move fast.
It was why Li Feihong gave up on killing her first.
Her talent was amazing, of endless potential, but she was still a nobody to him.
Even after all this time, Ling Bao’er still held onto the Draconic Fowl King in her other hand. She had to take it to her Master. [I must finish Master’s request!]
She relied on a sliver of strength to flee towards Soaring Immortal Mountain.
…
Li Feihong caught up to Sacred Immortal Sword with ease. His eyes burned at the sight of it, grasping its hilt.
The sword saw Ling Bao’er as its only Master, and it could showcase its true power only in her hands. This made the Sacred Immortal Sword weak when not wielded and couldn’t stop Li Feihong from grasping itself. Even so, he still had to work on seizing the weapon.
As he touched the hilt, he felt the terrible power it contained. “This is the power that helped the girl into blocking my attacks!”
Li Feihong had a feeling that by making the sword accept him, he would dominate all cultivators in the same cultivation realm as him, and even fighting Spirit Severing experts would be a possibility.
With the Sacred Immortal Sword in hand, Li Feihong returned to his first objective, killing Ling Bao’er.
The Sacred Immortal Sword was so important that many strong experts would be drawn in like flies. He had to kill Ling Bao’er so no one would know he wielded it.
Li Feihong shot back.
…
Ling Bao’er was pale. She managed to fly, wobbling due to exhaustion and her wounds, but she now saw her home just up ahead.
“Almost there.”
In the immortal temple, the three demons sensed Ling Bao’er’s precarious state. They turned grave at her feeble energy, with She Zini’s hand stopping just as he was about to show his suit of tiles.
Ling Bao’er was their Young Master’s disciple and went to Cutlet Mountain for some chicken because of them.
If she was hurt, they would suffer for it. [Just who dares to harm Young Master’s disciple?]
The demons were boiling mad inside, but were also worried that Chen Changan would blame them for it.
“She Zini, did you figure out what tiles to set?”
The demons’ worry only grew at Chen Changan’s smile. [Young Master must’ve surely found out what’s happening. Ling Bao’er is weak and hurt, yet Young Master doesn’t care? Is he waiting for us to admit our fault?]
She Zini gave the other two a look. “Young Master, it’s all our fault Young Miss got hurt. We ask that you give us the chance to make amends. We’ll make whoever did this pay!”
Chen Changan blinked. [Bao’er’s in trouble?]
He was oblivious to the world outside the Absolute Domain. The demons’ words had him grimace. [They must’ve sensed Ling Bao’er’s energy. It’s her first trip outside and already got in trouble. But by the sound of it, she’s only hurt.]
Chen Changan eased his breath. Now he knew what was keeping her so long. “I wish nothing happened to her. Bring her back.”
“Understood!” The demons flashed out of Soaring Immortal Mountain.
They got to Ling Bao’er in a blink. “Young Miss, are you alright?”
Hong Yi winced at her weary and awful state.
“Sister Hong Yi, Evil Dragon Den is after me.”
Ling Bao’er’s heart relaxed at last, just as the last trace of spiritual power was used and she collapsed.
Hong Yi flashed over to carry her. “Let’s return.”
Touba Ye and She Zini were grave. “Curses! How dare he harm Young Miss!”
She Zini’s eyes spewed fire, “Once I get my hands on him…”
The demons left with Ling Bao’er.
…
Li Feihong followed Ling Bao’er’s energy after getting the Sacred Immortal Sword. “The girl ran out of spiritual power, is wounded and still could run so far.”
He still sensed her close by. “No one on this heaven’s green earth could ever escape me.”
Li Feihon turned into a light and flew towards Soaring Immortal Mountain.
