Chapter 77: Escape from the Island and Enter a Desperate Situation Again
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Lingzi waved his hand as fast as an afterimage. The air was filled with the sound of air being torn apart.
A trace of true essence fluctuation flashed in his wrinkled eyes. A trace of light flashed, and then his hands gathered toward his chest.
“Return of Ten Thousand Swords!!”
Under his old face, his lips opened slightly, and a light shout came out.
Then, the true essence around his body shook and turned into hundreds of sword qi that emitted a cold light behind his back.
The power of the sword qi was self-evident. Under Xuan Lingzi’s gaze, the sword qi was like a deadly snake that fixed on Su Yi.
Seeing this, his pupils shrank. He felt the power of the sword qi. It was very terrifying. Was this the strength of a hundred-year-old scumbag?
He was secretly shocked, but his expression did not show it. He had already made a decision in his heart.
This person was definitely not someone he could face with his current strength. Facing the hundreds of sword qi, he swallowed his saliva and quickly thought about how to fight against them.
It was impossible to fight them head-on. Whether it was the number or the power of the sword qi, it was not something he could handle at his current stage.
He did not expect the Sword Pavilion to send an old monster to deal with him. They thought too highly of him.
While he was at a loss, an idea flashed through his mind. He seemed to have thought of a solution. It was a magic treasure that he had not used for a long time. It was a Dao-grade magic treasure called the Taiyuan ancient flag.
It seemed to be specially used to deal with this kind of situation. Then, he placed his hand behind his back.
His left hand condensed into a sword finger in front of his body, and his divine sense took out the ancient Taiyuan flag from the space of the immortal destiny seal and held it in his right hand.
When Xuan Lingzi saw Su Yi’s appearance, he thought that Su Yi was going to take his Return of Ten Thousand Swords by force. Immediately, he sneered and said indifferently, “you want to receive my 10,000 Return of Ten Thousand Swords? Humph, you don’t know what’s good for you!”
“Go!”
Following which, he let out a low shout and raised his right hand slightly. The sword qi behind him shot towards Su Yi like a storm.
Whoosh whoosh–
Su Yi did not dare to be the slightest bit careless when he saw the sword qi attacking him. He only saw his feet move and actually began to run around Xuan Lingzi.
Under his extremely fast speed, the sword qi continuously chased after his heels, causing waves of dust to appear.
Following that, Su Yi leaped up, and his feet stepped on the mound on the nearby mountain wall.
Clang, clang, clang —
Xuan Lingzi’s several sword qi instantly shot the ground, emitting a sound of breaking through the air.
Boom–
The mound also turned into dust within the sword qi.
It stirred up waves of dust, and within the dust, Su Yi seized the opportunity and instantly threw out his right hand, which was hidden behind his back.
The Taiyuan ancient flag turned into a stream of light and shot straight towards Xuan Lingzi, and then stabbed under Xuan Lingzi’s feet.
“Taiyuan ancient flag, open!”
With a low shout, the ancient flag suddenly shone brightly, and streaks of array patterns turned into streams of light from its body and bound Xuan Lingzi’s body
Instantly, Su Yi felt that a portion of his true essence had been drawn out.
Using the Taiyuan ancient flag to bind this old man had actually consumed nearly 8,000 points of his true essence. It could be imagined that this old man’s strength had indeed reached the peak of the foundation establishment realm.
Xuan Lingzi was suddenly struck. His body slightly paused, and even the sword qi behind him dissipated under the binding of his true essence.
Looking at the Taiyuan ancient flag on the ground, Xuan Lingzi’s expression was solemn. He had never thought that this junior who had offended the Sword Pavilion’s dignity would have so many strange things.
For example, this flag could seal his body, and the true essence in his body was also slightly blocked. It was probably a top-grade magic treasure.
Thinking of this, the old man had a greedy look on his face, and the killing intent in his eyes was obvious. The true essence started to condense and fluctuate on his body, trying to break free from the comfort of the Taiyuan ancient flag.
Seeing this, Su Yi did not hesitate anymore, and immediately shot toward the island. This old man was too terrifying, and now he could only leave as the best option.
He turned into a black shadow and brushed past like a breeze before disappearing from the eyes of the old man. Xuan Lingzi, who had been frozen on the spot, was even more anxious.
He had been safe for one to two hundred years, but he did not expect to be fooled by a junior today. Xuan Lingzi’s face was slightly red, and the true essence aura on his body surged as he shouted.
“Break!”
The binding array pattern on his body broke, and the true essence around his body shook, creating a wave of air.
The wave of air attacked the surrounding plants, making them make loud noises.
Xuan Lingzi’s face was dark, and his eyes were cold as he stared at the direction where Su Yi had disappeared. His thin chest was heaving up and down.
His eyes were filled with greed as he bent down, trying to pick up the flag that was binding him.
In his eyes, this flag was definitely an incredible treasure.
In fact, this Taiyuan ancient flag was indeed a supreme treasure in the great desolate region. As long as one had enough true essence, it could lock down objects and people stronger than them.
However, just as his wrinkled hand was about to touch the Taiyuan ancient flag, it moved slightly and instantly turned into a stream of light, shooting towards Su Yi’s direction.
This made Xuan Lingzi, who was about to pick it up, look at the direction where the flag was flying towards with a cold expression. The greed in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.
Then, without hesitation, he turned into an afterimage and chased after the flag.
…
In a mountain stream on the Giant Lizard Island, there were high peaks and cliffs on both sides.
In this mountain stream, there was also a stream. When the water hit the large pebbles, it made a crisp sound.
At this moment, a figure was running fast on the stream. As if being chased by something, this figure was Su Yi. He was on the Giant Lizard Island, looking for a place where no one could find him.
Suddenly, he stopped. At the end of the stream, there was a canyon that was a thousand feet wide.
The stream turned into a thousand-foot waterfall. At the bottom of the canyon, there was a bottomless ravine. Su Yi secretly gasped. He had walked to a dead end.
At this time, the Taiyuan ancient flag turned into a stream of light that returned to his side. The Taiyuan ancient flag was flowing with a faint treasure charm as it slowly floated in front of Su Yi.
“This… he actually broke free from the restraint so quickly.”
His gaze was slightly shocked. Even after expending so much true essence, it was still unable to hold that old man in place for long.
At this moment, the sound of air being torn apart rang out. Xuan Lingzi landed steadily not far away from him, blocking his path of retreat.
Xuan Lingzi looked at Su Yi. His face was a little gloomy as he spoke faintly with a mocking tone.
“Humph, the younger generation’s speed is quite good. However, this old man will see where you can run to now!”
