NOVPUBHowever, just a breath later...
Whoosh!
A bulky figure broke through the dark sea surface, immediately followed by a golden black serpent head that sprang out from under its feet!
Wu Ju squinted for a closer look.
And before his eyes a mere Class II Cultivator, clutching two bodies, was frantically fleeing.
One of those bodies was indeed the armless sword cultivator who had almost beheaded him not long ago!
"He really is at his wit’s end!"
Feeling the emptiness of the other’s aura, Wu Ju was suddenly overjoyed.
But, being repeatedly proven wrong earlier had taught him not to be as arrogant as before, so he sent a thought to his magic tool and chose to follow stealthily from the rear.
The wings of the gold-and-black Feather Serpent shook once, and it immediately rushed toward the Class II Cultivator.
However, just as the Feather Serpent was about to pounce, the figure suddenly turned around with a triumphant look on his face!
Wu Ju, who had been prepared for such a move, immediately revealed a hint of disdain:
"Hehe, it’s obviously a bluff!"
Almost instantly the Feather Serpent completed a vertical flip, making forty-five evasive maneuvers during the process.
What surprised Wu Ju, however, was that in the next moment, the Class II Cultivator actually summoned a Class III flying magic tool and flew off in an instant!
"I..."
"Damn it! He dared to trick me!" 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
Wu Ju was furious, feeling a burning sensation on his face!
It was one thing for the Sword Cultivator to have ridiculed him; after all, that man indeed possessed a superior strength. Though Wu Ju was reluctant to admit it, he was clear of this fact.
However, being deceived by a mere Class II Cultivator – that feeling made him want to explode with rage.
But the action of that man did confirm one thing to Wu Ju.
"The Sword Cultivator... He really is at his wit’s end!"
Realizing this, Wu Ju finally let go of his restraint on speed; he exploded with immense velocity!
The Feather Serpent also let out an angry hiss!
Immediately leaping with great speed, with Wu Ju on his back, they treaded on the waves, chasing after the Class II Cultivator.
Perhaps due to the suppression by the Yuanci, despite the Class II Cultivator exhausting all his strength, his speed hasn’t decreased much, but his altitude was dropping significantly.
Even with a Class III flying magic tool, in front of a top-grade Class IV Feather Serpent, it was merely a blink of an eye before they easily caught up.
Looking at the armless figure in front of him, enveloped by the Class II Cultivator and seemingly lifeless, a hint of admiration flashed in Wu Ju’s eyes:
You were indeed a worthy opponent, but you could not defeat this leader. Once I cut off your head, I will use your skull as a cup. You will be my greatest trophy as a Demigod!"
With just a thought, the Feather Serpent suddenly sped up, and anticipation flashed across Wu Ju’s face.
However, that anticipation turned rigid the next moment.
The armless figure, which the Class II Cultivator had been holding tight, suddenly opened his eyes!
The next moment, a sword hilt formed an invisible blade and flew out from the armless figure in the blink of an eye, rapidly enlarging in Wu Ju’s pupils!
There was no time to respond.
The invisible sword effortlessly pierced through the Feather Serpent’s head without leaving a trace of blood, then lazily turned around Wu Ju’s neck.
Just as it was about to return, a voice suddenly rang out:
"And the Storage Treasures too!"
The sword then passed through Wu Ju’s body, retrieving a bracelet and a bag with the invisible sword before flying right back to the armless figure.
With a start, Wu Ju’s decapitated head soared into the sky.
Immediately, a Nascent Soul bearing a remarkable resemblance to Wu Ju sprung from Wu Ju’s Dantian.
It darted away in terror towards the other cultivators!
"Our Clan Leader!"
The cultivators of the Feather Serpent Tribe were taken by surprise.
Yet upon seeing these people, a look of ecstasy lit up Wu Ju’s Nascent Soul.
"Quick! Save me!"
"He is completely out of strength this time! He certainly has no strength left!"
But in an instant, the look of euphoria froze on his face again.
He lowered his head to see the wounds breaking open on his Nascent Soul, from which the pure mana was flowing out.
A look of confusion, realization, reluctance and despair gradually unveiled in his eyes...
In the next breath, Wu Ju’s Nascent Soul had resounded into a violent mana turbulence!
Right after, an angry hiss sounded not far away.
The Feather Serpent, under the watch of the horrified Feather Serpent cultivators, dispersed into evenly divided carcasses and dropped into the surrounding sea.
This immediately attracted the Demonic Beasts in the nearby sea, hordes of shadows swarmed up from below the sea surface.
In the sky, two faint streaks of bloodlight flashed briefly.
Watching this scene unfold, the cultivators of the Feather Serpent Tribe looked at each other in silence.
"Our Clan Leader... is gone just like that?"
"What do we do now?"
"Even if we go back without our Clan Leader, the Clan Leader will punish us. We must kill him for revenge!"
"That’s right! Kill him! He killed our Clan Leader and didn’t even dare to linger, he is definitely completely spent!"
The five Class IV cultivators from the Feather Serpent Tribe quickly reached an agreement and charged at the Class II Cultivator.
However, the Class II cultivator who was not very fast just now suddenly increased his speed.
It took the group of five more than ten breaths to barely close the distance.
However, as they were about to launch an attack...they were met with an ordinary looking sword hilt flying right at them!
"Oh no!"
Fearing the worst, the five of them felt their hearts leap, they dispersed in different directions and assumed defensive positions with all their strength.
