Chapter 1592 - 1589: Breakthrough on the Brink of Battle
It’s a long story, but in truth, all of this happened in the blink of an eye, from Jiang Xinyun’s escape to Yang Fei suppressing Su Jingshu, it only took a few breaths in total.
After dealing with Su Jingshu, Yang Fei quickly pursued in the direction Jiang Xinyun fled.
Just like the last time he was worried about the Mu Family expert escaping, the same reasoning applies. Jiang Xinyun is a core disciple of Wangxian Sect; if she escapes, it would spell endless trouble for him.
At least now he has to search around the Southern Domain World for Tong Yunshu and Qin Yanyang. If his identity and whereabouts are exposed, attracting the pursuit of Wangxian Sect, then it will be troublesome and might even bring disaster to Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu.
One teleportation after another, Yang Fei’s figure kept flashing in the void. This teleportation speed might not match the straight-line acceleration of the Thousand-mile Divine Travel Talisman, but it excels in flexibility and leaves no trace, making it difficult for the opponent to track his movement trajectory.
As Jiang Xinyun fled for her life, she sent her divine sense back to explore, wanting to know if Su Jingshu had also escaped from Yang Fei’s grasp as planned.
Very quickly, her expression changed drastically. Her divine sense, which could cover dozens of miles, detected Yang Fei rapidly closing in on her with that eerie space jump technique. Moreover, as her divine sense explored, the other party precisely locked onto her position.
Jiang Xinyun’s heart suddenly sank.
So quickly catching up?
What about Junior Sister Su?
Did she escape or was she in danger and killed by him?
No, even though Junior Sister Su may not be able to match this person, she has a Fourth rank Thousand-mile Divine Movement Talisman for escape, coupled with the Red Banner of Red Practice and Fourth rank Vajra Talisman, among various life-saving methods. It is impossible for her to be directly suppressed by this person in such a short time. She must have escaped, yet the person did not choose to pursue her but came after me instead.
As Jiang Xinyun pondered, she accelerated her flight, wanting to widen the distance between herself and Yang Fei.
However, she soon realized she couldn’t escape.
The opponent’s every teleportation may only cover a straight-line distance of about eight hundred meters, but he can continue teleporting non-stop—the cumulative effect of such continuous teleportation, the moving speed has reached a terrifying level. In the blink of an eye, he can teleport three or five times; his flying speed is much higher than the speed at which she uses her Peak of Mid-stage Core Formation Cultivation to fly through broken space.
Practically reaching the speed of Nascent Soul Sword Control.
Too fast!
Also, too unbelievably powerful.
This person clearly has only Mid-stage Core Formation strength, yet why does he possess such a strong divine sense and can even perform short-distance teleportation divine powers, typically only controlled by early stage Nascent Soul old monsters?
It’s truly baffling!
While horrified internally, Jiang Xinyun exerted herself fully, pushing her escape speed to its limit.
Nevertheless, the distance between the two continued to narrow.
Jiang Xinyun was extremely terrified internally.
Under the same realm, although there are differences in combat power between cultivators, normally, defeating each other will require exhausting all means and a fierce battle lasting several days. But if the losing party wishes to escape and no longer wishes to entangle, only focusing on fleeing, it’s still quite easy.
Furthermore, many cultivators with a gap of one or two minor realms, even if weaker, have a chance to escape from the hands of high rank cultivators.
Thus, within the Cultivation World, in the same realm, it’s very difficult to unilaterally kill one side during a clash.
And if one side wants to escape, while the other seeks to pursue and kill them, it’s even harder.
But why is it that this fellow named Yang Fei, who is clearly on par with my realm, has such significantly higher combat power?
Junior Sister Su and I are not ordinary Mid-stage Core Formation cultivators; we are from Wangxian Sect, known for having combat power ahead of others at the same rank. However, the result is astounding—we faced Yang Fei two against one, and still couldn’t win. Now as I try to escape, even using a Fourth rank Divine Movement Talisman, I’m still pursued by him; it’s simply unfathomable.
Jiang Xinyun continued to run wildly, terrified and filled with chaotic thoughts.
After roughly the time it takes to brew tea, the distance between them continued to narrow.
Jiang Xinyun realized she couldn’t shake Yang Fei off, but her mindset was increasingly calm, as she had already notified Lu Jianxing from Qinghe County via Communication Talisman.
This place is too far from Wangxian Sect; even if she called for help, the sect’s strong practitioners wouldn’t arrive in time. However, Lu Jianxing was in Qinghe County. Although not particularly close, as long as she could endure a little longer, the chance of Lu Jianxing arriving was still substantial.
When the distance narrowed to a point where Jiang Xinyun felt threatened, she used another Fourth rank Divine Movement Talisman, instantly widening the gap.
But within the Cultivation World, Fourth rank talismans are also known as Divine Talismans. These talismans are typically held by Nascent Soul stage old monsters and are extremely precious. Being a Second Generation Immortal from Wangxian Sect, she has deep pockets, and the strong in her family have given her some Divine Talisman level talismans for safety. Still, she only has two Divine Movement Talismans overall, and another Divine Talisman is a crucial key used for life-saving attack type talisman.
Facing a Mid-stage Core Formation cultivator of the same rank, using two Divine Talismans at once, Jiang Xinyun felt a painful loss internally.
She only hoped to delay until Lu Jianxing arrived; otherwise, even that attack type Divine Talisman might not be able to save her.
Although this action widened the distance once again, Jiang Xinyun still dared not relax. She used high level Wood Escape Technique to vanish into a dense forest, using it as a Blinding Technique, swiftly switching to Earth Escape Technique, continuing to flee.
However, after a tea’s time, she was shocked to find herself locked again by Yang Fei’s powerful divine sense.
Jiang Xinyun was numb.
Does this guy not tire?
With his kind of teleportation, it should consume tremendous amounts of Mind Power Cultivation, right? After chasing for so long, how can he still persist?
As Jiang Xinyun expected, Yang Fei paid a great price constantly using the teleportation technique, his divine sense suffered enormous exhaustion, beyond what he could bear.
Along the way, he consumed almost an entire bottle of Yunling Pill he had just purchased.
But this continuous output’s consumption was too rapid and immense; the Yunling Pill couldn’t replenish fast enough in a short time.
After Jiang Xinyun used her second Divine Movement Talisman to escape afar, Yang Fei chased for a while, even nearly giving up.
But at that moment, he was pleasantly surprised to find his spiritual power within his body surging violently, his divine sense also reaching an extreme reversal state.
This feeling made him extremely joyful.
He suddenly halted where he stood, closed his eyes, and a burst of intense spiritual power surged from his body.
"Late stage Core Formation!"
Breakthrough!
Yang Fei was ecstatic internally.
Last time on Earth, after receiving the feedback from the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace in closed cultivation for ten years, his realm had directly climbed to the peak of Mid-stage Core Formation, only one step away from entering Late Stage. Yang Fei had anticipated needing to temper and cultivate for some time to naturally progress, yet unexpectedly, today after battling with these two Wangxian Sect experts, particularly when pursuing them with continuous talisman teleportation, facing huge divine sense consumption nearly reaching the limit, he actually achieved an instant breakthrough.
And with the breakthrough of realm, the spiritual power, mana, and the greatly exhausted divine sense needing a lengthy time to recover within Yang Fei instantly returned to peak state. Following these breakthroughs, he ascended to higher levels.
"Cool!"
Feeling this unprecedented powerful state, Yang Fei’s momentum was unmatched, a satisfied smile spread across his face, and he couldn’t help but let out a low roar.
In this state, he felt if he encountered True Monarch Cang Yuan again, he could confront him head-on.
Dozens of miles away, Jiang Xinyun’s complexion turned exceedingly grim.
She could never have predicted that Yang Fei would break through amidst combat and pursuit.
It’s known that cultivators require a quiet environment and stable state of mind for breakthroughs, usually finding a safe seclusion location with a trusted protector to confidently attack the bottleneck.
Yet look at Yang Fei—he not only broke through in front of enemies but also completed this during the tense pursuit state. This practically reshaped her understanding of cultivation!
"This guy...what kind of monster is he?!"
Jiang Xinyun’s heart surged with unprecedented fear.
