Lighting Lanterns in the Mountains and Seas

Chapter 952 - 809: The Decision

Earlier I saw a Sky Splitting Sword, and now I see another one. How can there be two? With a quick thought, I understood what happened.

Curiously, Feng Yin paused to ask her what was going on.

Luo Que angrily spat, "Shi Chun is also carrying a Sky Splitting Sword, forgot how Wu is skilled at creating fakes."

After cursing, she immediately chased in the direction where Shi Chun and others were escaping.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yin also understood the situation, and he too pursued, responding with a phrase, "Birds of a feather flock together, it's not surprising."

Previously wielding a sword to attack them, now realizing he couldn't hurt Shi Chun or catch up with them, he temporarily joined forces in a common cause.

Shi Chun, constantly glancing back, saw that Luo Que and others were closing the distance rapidly, and realized this couldn't continue.

Their speed couldn't increase; the main issue was that Wind Scale's flying speed was not as fast as Luo Que and Feng Yin's cultivation speed.

Out of options, disregarding any decorum, Shi Chun shouted for them all to try mounting, Qilin A San's large physique allowed for all five to squeeze on one ride. If squeezing wasn't enough, they could tug along or stack rides, mainly worrying if A San could still run fast with the heavy load.

It turned out A San's strength was not an issue; he could still gallop swiftly, even carrying five people, without losing speed.

Seeing they were about to shake off Luo Que and others pursuing from behind, suddenly from the side, dozens of fast-moving Demon Riders came to intercept them, directed by Feng Yin's communication.

Behind those Demon Riders, hundreds more were carrying many people and horses, pursuing rapidly.

The dozens of Demon Riders rushing from the side weren't as fast as the one driven by Da Shen, but they were faster than A San. However, the speed of these dozen didn't fall much behind A San's, and some even matched his speed.

They abruptly cut in through the front of Shi Chun's group, some of them with thick skin directly crashing into A San one after another.

A San leapt to avoid them, but saw the figures on those Demon Riders rise like a swarm of flies, madly striking at them.

"Kill!"

Shi Chun, gripping his knife steadily, shouted with an undeniable clear force.

The call carried a decisive aura, and Wu Hong, An Wuzhi and Zhu Xiangxin from behind scattered to attack.

Wu Jinliang was also about to jump out but was grabbed by Shi Chun, who said urgently, "First take down those Demon Riders, then lead everyone out of the siege; I'll deal with the two guys behind." He slapped A San's back fiercely, "Coordinate with Jinliang."

As for how to take down those Demon Riders, Shi Chun hadn't shared it with others, but he told Wu Jinliang in case of unexpected situations.

Not telling others was pointless since nobody else learned the Demon Dispel Hand.

A San, nimble in avoiding, responded calmly, "A San knows."

Amidst the thunderous surroundings, flames erupted everywhere. An Wuzhi once again tore open countless magma-filled cracks, and Zhu Xiangxin again summoned the Fire Prison God Suppression Stele, engaging in fierce battle with the enemy.

Shi Chun stuffed a long-handled saber into Wu Jinliang's hand, as this sharp weapon was more effective for breaking out of encirclements.

Wu Jinliang grabbed his wrist, worried, "Are you sure you can handle those two?"

Shi Chun hurriedly said, "No need to handle, let Luo Que capture me, then Feng Yin and others will chase to kill Luo Que. I'll wait for your message to escape!"

Having past experience, the Mother-child Talisman in Fan Sleeve could communicate with the outside world.

After speaking, he released the grip, decisively dashed forward, reversing direction towards the chasing Feng Yin and Luo Que.

This was his impromptu decision as the Master amidst urgent chaos.

Turning, Wu Jinliang pressed his lips tightly, realizing the Master's intention of using himself as bait, causing the enemy to split and fight, creating an opportunity for them to escape.

No time to think more, he shouted aggressively, "A San, kill!"

He swung his sword towards a bold, tail-whipping attacking Demon Rider.

"No big deal," A San scoffed, swiftly darting out.

In the tense battle throughout the Mingshan Sect, only it remained relaxed, convinced that with its master around, there'd be no issue; they were mere chickens and dogs. Its master was just being low-key.

Though dealing with those large reptiles was something it rather enjoyed.

The rolling sea had turned red amidst the flames, scorching with brilliance, while a figure quickly darted across, charging towards Feng Yin and Luo Que, holding a sword identical to Feng Yin's. It was Shi Chun.

Feng Yin and Luo Que hesitated, unexpectedly stopping.

Feng Yin asked, "Is he coming at us?"

Luo Que, somewhat tense, asked, "Is the sword he's holding real or fake?"

If fake, she didn't believe Shi Chun would have the guts to charge them like this.

Feng Yin glanced at her, "Little Xuan Sect disciple's mind, I've witnessed now."

Luo Que refused to discuss origins, challenging him, "Give him a strike with your Sky Splitting Sword to prove it."

Feng Yin glanced back at her, annoyed, knowing how difficult it was to cut through armor and wasteful to even try, and considering how much a single strike with the Sky Splitting Sword would consume.

As he dismissed her, Luo Que's gaze turned more suspicious.

But no time for further thoughts, Shi Chun had already rushed to the front, Luo Que flicking her sleeve once more and using Fan Sleeve Divine Skills.

Then, Shi Chun's figure shrank, instantly vanished into her sleeve, caught in a single move.

"..."

Luo Que and Feng Yin were both speechless. Was it solved just like that? After all the commotion, it was resolved so easily?

"Could there be deception..." Feng Yin's sentence wasn't finished before his eyes widened.

Just then, Luo Que suddenly darted away like a rabbit, diving swiftly into the rolling murky waves.
